Eagle's Glory

Aigron found that under this series of questioning, his aura was faintly overwhelmed.

Why is her diction so sharp?

Because she recounted what she had done.

"Yes, you're right, I'm an ungrateful, shameless person, a scum." He nodded and admitted it openly. "I can't refute this. If you want to reprimand me for hurting His Royal Highness Sophie, then please go ahead, maybe this will make me feel better."

Aigron was so open and bright, but it made Princess Maria pause for a while.

Although the young man in front of him was wearing casual clothes, he was still handsome and refined, and his figure was vigorous. Although his aura was slightly suppressed by him, he still did not lose that kind of proud demeanor.

Just standing here makes people feel that this young man will be promising in the future.

So, looking at him, Maria couldn't understand why her twin sister did this.

"You don't have to bother me. Let me forgive your offense. From the way you were crying just now, I can feel that you are really missing and guilty." She sighed and took the initiative to slow down her tone, "And you Don't worry, my elder brother doesn't know about your affairs—by the way, he didn't take the initiative to ask me to come over to appease you. Although our family is not strong at present, there is no need to please it. A young pretender to the throne . . . is what I asked him to do."

Aegron breathed a sigh of relief.

But suddenly he felt a little terrified - because the other party saw all the doubts in his heart.

It can be seen that Her Royal Highness Xinsi Princess has a quick mind and is good at observing words and expressions.

And Sophie is a little different. Although she is very smart and can easily figure out the problem, she doesn't bother to know what other people are thinking - anyway, they are trying their best to please her.

It seems that even if they are twin sisters, it is impossible for people's personalities and behaviors to be completely the same... Aigron sighed regretfully in his heart.

But even so, he still couldn't help but develop an intimacy with Princess Maria.

Her every frown, smile, and even the way she frowns and rages are too much like Sophie, which always reminds him of the days when he was with her, so even though she has been sneering at him all the time, he can't even bear to be angry.

Having said that, as far as what she did to Sophie, it would be strange if her sister had no opinion at all.

Moreover, she used that method to "distinguish" the difference between two people as soon as they met. It was considered polite for her to just be sarcastic.

He couldn't help being distracted, recalling the remaining touch on his hand.

Compared with the married Sophie, the unmarried Princess Maria is naturally a little smaller, but she has the flexibility that Sophie can't match.

Yes, at this time she was still perfect...a Sophie who remained the same...he suddenly shivered.

"Damn guy... what obscene thoughts are you thinking?" Perhaps because Aigron's thoughts became more and more strange, Princess Maria frowned and scolded him again, finally pulling his thoughts away again. return.

"Nothing." Aigron shook his head quickly, "I just thought of her."

"What's the use of thinking about it now? It's better to forget it—" Princess Maria snorted, "Now you are married, and your wife is waiting for someone else just a few steps away from us. What's the point of you mentioning her after painting her?"

"If you want me to forget, then why did you come to see me alone?" Eggron asked.

This time it was Princess Maria's turn to be speechless.

Under the clear and insightful gaze of the young man, she felt a little anxious. "I just want to see what the little guy who fascinated her looks like? Can't I be a little curious?"

"So now your curiosity has been satisfied." Eggron smiled slightly, "What do you think?"

"I think she's blind." Princess Maria picked up the folding fan and tapped the proud and arrogant young man's forehead lightly. "What did she get in the end after all she gave? A ruthless escape, and a A grand wedding? I don't even know how she will face all of this."

Ever since he came to Greece, Egron has naturally become the focus of public opinion, and his actions are reported everywhere, and the grand wedding between him and Teresa in Athens has naturally become a topic of discussion in the newspapers ——Princess Maria has heard of it even in Bavaria.

Aigron couldn't deny it, and he could only defend himself in a low voice, "I'm sorry for her, but I also have something I have to do. I... can't accept myself as a pet in a cage, even if she is by my side all the time. Soothe me, Schönbrunn Palace is still too cold for me. I was born in an extraordinary family, and I also have the obligation to complete it. As for marrying Teresa... I have to do it, because she I have paid a lot, followed me unswervingly, and I love her, and I must make due preparations for the continuation of my family."

"Hey, what a beautiful remark! It seems that everything is based on your own reasons—well, since you have so many reasons, why bother to trick her?" Maria asked back with a mocking smile. "You dragged her into the vortex, then floated away by yourself, and finally left a sentence of 'Oh, I'm sorry, madam, I have my own difficulties!', what is this?"

Eggron was speechless again—because he really had no words.

"Yes, I'm a badass, scum." In the end, he could only admit the truth in a self-defeating manner, "But I assure you, she was very happy at that time, and if you corresponded with her often, I think you should be able to feel it .”

"It's worth paying for so many years of pain for a moment of happiness!?" Princess Maria did not deny it, but raised another question.

"I don't think it's permanent pain." Aigron shook his head firmly, "I put all my bets on success. If I succeed in realizing my dream, I will have the opportunity to make up for my mistakes. I'll find her, no matter what!"

His voice was not loud, but no one could doubt his determination.

Princess Maria didn't taunt anymore this time, she seemed to relax a lot - it seems that this answer made her quite satisfied.

"Your Highness, if possible, can you call me 'you'?" At this time, Aigron made his own request, "She never calls me you!"

"Really? So you want me to call you affectionately, like her, to hold you in my arms affectionately, caress you like a childhood doll, and call you my sweetheart?!" Princess Maria answered mockingly.

Then, she opened the folding fan to cover her face, and then giggled, "Don't fool me with the way you dealt with my sister, you, you, you..."

Aigron felt that in her, Sophie was more than arrogant, and even more bitter.

Aegron was not angry at being ridiculed, but extremely nostalgic, because this is everything he was once familiar with.

Those proud and witty words are always so interesting aftertaste.

"If possible..." he replied subconsciously.

"Crack!" He received another blow on the forehead.

－－－－－－off topic－－－－－

In history, Princess Maria-Anna married very late. She did not marry King Friedrich August II of Saxony until April 1833. At that time, she was 4 years old. As far as the royal princess is concerned, she married at this age is extraordinary - and her twin sister, Sophie, married to Austria in 28 at the age of 1824.

Coincidentally, Napoleon II died in 1832.

Although this should be just a coincidence, it does not prevent the author of the novel from speculating reasonably (brain hole) that Sophie has always planned to marry her twin sister to Napoleon II, who is six years younger, but before this marriage came true, she Died unfortunately... After despair, Maria had to choose another partner to marry.

Well, let's take it as the truth!　　

22, sincerity

Egron was hit by Princess Maria's folding fan again.

In fact, with his skill, it would be quite easy if he wanted to dodge, but he didn't make any resistance or dodge.

To him, this was not so much a punishment as an expression of intimacy.

He felt that although she looked annoyed on the surface, Maria should be in a good mood at the moment.

It wasn't because he was overconfident, but because he was so familiar with Sophie, so he seemed to be able to figure out Maria's mood again—she was so similar to Sophie, not only in words, deeds and demeanor, but also in some small movements.

Sophie had done the same to him.

If she was really annoyed or hated by someone, Sophie would dismiss him and not bother to pay attention for a second, and since Princess Maria didn't turn around and leave, it meant she wasn't really angry.

"Sorry... I made a slip of the tongue." He apologized without sincerity, and a bright smile appeared on his face, "If you are not willing to comply with my wishes, then you can call me whatever you like in the future , I can accept anything."

"In the future?" Princess Maria squinted at him, "Why do you think there will be a future?"

"Because I think...our encounter today, whether it is God's arrangement or the result of your deliberate efforts, indicates that we will not be disconnected from this." Aigron gradually became serious, "I don't know what you want What do you want, but as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it... because seeing that smile that is exactly the same as His Royal Highness Sophie, I want time to stop and let it heal the scars in my heart."

"Well, that's really sweet, maybe she was once fascinated by you like this...?" Princess Maria still mocked, as if she didn't appreciate it, "Then if I want you to leave your wife immediately and go back to By her side, do you do it? If you can do it, I don't mind smiling at you all the time. "

"I'm sorry, I can't. I can only do what I can, and I can't do this." Aigron's smile did not change, but he replied simply, "Now the situation can no longer allow me to go back on my word. Sha has tied fate together, if I abandon her, then I will lose all my credibility—even Sophie will not ask me to do so, she once dragged someone to send us blessings."

"Yes, blessing, do you think she will really bless?! After all the helplessness and pain, what else can she do?" Maria retorted him loudly, "You take this blessing as a passport to your conscience, Opened her heart to drink blood, and praised her for its sweet taste, but left her with endless regret and pain alone! What a cruel person you are..."

Aigron stood silently without any refutation, willing to accept such reprimands.

The voice was exactly the same as Sophie's, there was almost no difference, so in a trance, his thoughts seemed to drift back to that farewell night, when she cursed him bitterly.

But he knew that he was telling the truth, and with Maria's intelligence, she must have known it was a long time ago—so the request she made might just further make him feel ashamed, not a real one. wishes.

She did it.

This is the most painful moment for Aigron. The reprimands from his ears and the cursing in his heart seem to merge together in a trance, torturing his soul and making his little conscience crazily ache, gnawing at him. Follow his reason.

Tears reappeared in his eyes, and then he looked at Princess Maria quietly—just like when the two just met.

Seeing this look mixed with grievance, shame and helplessness, Princess Maria seemed to be touched, she secretly sighed, and then stopped her ridicule and reprimand.

"Forget it, it stands to reason that this matter has nothing to do with me. As a distinguished guest of our country and a world-famous heroic boy, it really doesn't make sense for you to stand and be scolded by me all the time. Others would laugh at us if they knew about it. The family is not upbringing... I was just joking just now, so you don't have to take it to heart."

Well, sure enough, that was worth a thousand words—for Sophie, and for her twin sister too.Aegron thought to himself with a little joy.

Maria kept saying that she was different from her sister, and she would never accept this kind of trick, but just after he showed it a little, she involuntarily softened her heart.

why?

I'm afraid it's because she and Sophie have already been infected by her sister during the daily correspondence... Sophie shared with her every little bit of getting along with her, and naturally shared the joy of being together as a companion. This kind of excitement and joy that comes from the resonance of the soul, it is naturally impossible for Maria to see it without being touched.

Once he was sure that her feelings for him were influenced by Sophie, he knew that he could easily win the favor of the other party—he was too proficient in dealing with Sophie, and he could handle it with ease. There are also [-] to [-]% proficiency, even if they have just met.

He knew that for Sophie, nothing eloquent could inspire her love and affection better than using her own pain. Her love for herself was mixed with too much of this love and affection.

Then Maria naturally shared a part of this love and affection.

This is not acting. His heartache and guilt are sincere, but as a veteran who plays with politics and people's hearts, he is also good at using his "sincerity" and presenting it at the right time.

The moment of absent-mindedness and trance when he first met Maria just now has disappeared, and the soul that is so calm that it is almost cold dominates everything about him again.

"There, we have had too many good memories, the kind of joy from the heart, I will never forget, and only between us can enjoy this kind of intimate fun." Seeing the initiative shifted to On my own side, Aigron continued, "You may not know, we even call each other siblings in private, she is named Sophia Memmingen, and I am named Franz Memmingen, we Loitering around Vienna together, like real lovers—"

"I know, she told me." Maria interrupted him angrily. "Okay, please don't show off your sluts in front of me—"

"This is not to show off, but to share and remember." Aigron corrected her earnestly, "Now that you know these things, then you should know how addicted I am to it, and if it is not a last resort, how can I be willing to abandon it all ?”

Under his rhetorical question, Maria was speechless for a moment—obviously she also knew it was the truth.

"Okay, now that these things have happened, I can't change anything by cursing you. As you said, you are already married, and it is impossible to go back to the past." Then, Maria sighed, "In that case, then You are already strangers, and I have no right to meddle in your affairs. That's fine, I wish you and Princess Teresa a happy life together, I have nothing more to tell you..."

Um?You're so disheartened that it's over?

How can this work?Aigron was immediately anxious.

He and Princess Maria met by chance, and if they bid farewell today without any intersection, then there will be no intersection in the future.

It was hard for him to see her, and it was difficult for him to accept the result of losing in a blink of an eye.

He is a greedy person. Although he is no longer the desolate grandson who had nothing at the beginning, he still wants to keep everything he got along with Sophie, even if it is just a phantom that looks like Sophie.

He wants, he still wants.

"Are you...are you leaving?" he asked in a trembling voice.

"Otherwise?" Princess Maria asked back, "Do we still have any old friendship to continue?"

It has to be said that this problem hit Aigron's weakness again.

Yes, meet by chance, what reason is there to see you again?

So, no, we must continue to keep her, at least to create an opportunity to meet again in the future.

If he loses today's joy from heaven just before his eyes, he will definitely not be able to feel at ease.

"Could it be that you took all the effort to find me, just to mock me?" He asked the other party dejectedly, "If that's the case, Your Highness Maria, please continue to mock me, whatever you say, I Will keep listening."

"What kind of person do you think I am? A villain who scolds people for nothing?" Maria sneered again, "Based on what you did to my sister before and what you did to me today, I just said this A few words are already very polite."

"Yes, I know." Aigron nodded hastily, "Then you can say whatever you want, I just want to hear it... Your voice is like a natural sound to me, even ordinary words are enough Heal my body and mind."

After he finished speaking, he looked at her eagerly, just as he used to look at Sophie.

Seeing his eyes full of expectation and pleading, Maria's originally tense face suddenly relaxed, and then burst out laughing.

Then, she tapped the young man's forehead lightly with the folding fan.

"Well, since you begged so much, it would be a bit impolite for me to refuse flatly."

Then, she raised the closed folding fan, and then pointed to the side, "I'm a little tired after standing for so long, come with me."

Then, Aigron followed her to a gazebo deep in the garden.

In addition to the endless flower beds, there are fountains and sculptures next to it, which is a good place to enjoy the scenery, and there are stone chairs to sit on, which is a good place to rest.

After sitting down, Maria looked at Aigron again.

"Duke Lechstedt—"

"It's fine if you don't want to call me by you, but please don't call me by this title anyway." Aigron interrupted her, "You know, this title represents a different period for me. Such a pleasant experience, it's only officially being used temporarily for now, but I really don't want to hear it from friends and family, please forgive my self-esteem. You know what Sophie calls me , if you don’t dislike it, please call me by this..."

Maria gave him a sideways look, as if to ask why she was one of the "friends and family".

But in front of Aigron's expectant eyes, she quietly changed her address. "Aigron, although I have some doubts about your character, but you are able to achieve such a feat at such a young age, you are indeed a leader among our younger generation, and you also have an enviable literary talent... Well, just me Among the princes and grandchildren I know, no one can compare with you—”

"Thank you for your compliment." Aigron quickly thanked her. "However, I think it might be that Sophie exaggerated me, so she raised my image to you."

"You don't need her to boast, you can see clearly just by looking at your handwriting." Maria blinked her eyes indifferently, "I have never praised others easily, and I am not interested in deliberately flattering you, so my The compliments are all from the heart, and you just accept them as they are ordered. I reprimand you and praise you are based on objective facts, which is not contradictory."

"Well, you're right." Aigron could only nod.

"In front of such a person, although I am a few years older, I have nothing to teach you...but you want me to talk to you, which really makes me embarrassed." Maria frowned slightly.

Then, she seemed to think of something. "How about this, I will read you a good sentence I read before, this is also considered sharing!"

"Okay, that's great!" Of course Aigron continued to nod. He just wanted to continue listening to this voice that was exactly the same as Sophie's to relieve the hunger of his soul. As for what to say, it didn't matter at all.
