Eagle's Glory

Just because he knew it, Aigron tried his best to avoid this kind of scene from happening.

"Since you have already guessed it, I don't need to explain anything more—yes, that's what I think." Aigron nodded, and then looked at the other party sincerely, "Your Highness, what do you want now? I have a kindness, and I am willing to do my best to repay it, and it is completely worthless to dedicate poems to you, but I ask you not to deliberately embarrass me, choose a time to embarrass everyone."

Maria's expression was very indifferent, and she couldn't see any joy or anger, but judging from the flashing light in her eyes, she was definitely not happy at this time.

"Why, am I wrong to look like this? Just because I look the same as my sister, I need to be respectful to Princess Teresa, and I need to always consider her feelings? Could it be that she is completely different from the rumors? different, but a self-important, mean-spirited person?"

"Of course she is not such a person, but we also have to see the occasion, don't we?" Aigron was also a little impatient in his heart, so his tone was a little blunt, "I know you have no responsibility, but as a husband, of course You have to take care of her emotions, and you can't embarrass her face to face."

He is also a person who has experienced the ways of the world, so he can already see from Maria's tone that Maria's main concern is not "presenting poems" at all, but embarrassing Teresa in person and humiliating her by himself.

She obviously hasn't met Teresa yet, so where does such fierce hostility come from?Aegron was a little puzzled.

Is it resentment because my sister was robbed of her sweetheart by Teresa?Aigron can only think of this reason after much deliberation.

Such "sisterly love" is indeed touching, but it is a bit uncomfortable when I am the person involved.

Aigron's tone was very firm, and he refused to make any concessions.

Seeing him like this, Maria frowned slightly, feeling even more annoyed in her heart.

It was Teresa who brought me and my sister to this point...

She held the folding fan tightly in her hand, so that the original white palm was even less blood-colored.

"Just now you can do anything in front of me, but you said no to me in the blink of an eye. It can be seen that you are really just talking flattery." She said coldly, "Besides, you are suddenly pretending to be a loyal husband now. Yes, it really surprised me—not to mention how you treated my sister before, but what did you do when we just met? Is that what a loyal husband should do? "

Sure enough, she found out about that incident... Aigron secretly groaned in his heart.

When he first met her, he was secretly delighted at his "harvest", but he didn't expect to be retribution so soon.

"At that time, I was confused and couldn't help it. Please forgive me—" He could only choose to apologize.

"This is not something that can be exposed with a few words of apology? From my point of view, this is offending an unmarried woman, and she is also the princess of your country. Is this something you should do? ?” Princess Maria was still relentless, “Why don’t we let my sister and Princess Teresa judge later, and let them judge whether what your loyal husband is doing is appropriate or not?”

Just because she caught Aigron's painful foot, her tone became more aggressive, and Aigron became very angry.

Not only because of the tone of the other party, but also because of the condescending attitude - it reminded him of those days he experienced back then.

He has put aside all these nightmares. Since he fled from Austria, he has established his own power, and everyone around him respects him. Even after he came to Bavaria, His Majesty the King also treated him the same because he wanted something from him. The courteous treatment is added, he has not been treated like this for a long time.

"Since this is the case, let's make it clear—" Aigron asked with a straight face, "What exactly do you want?"

"Didn't I make it very clear? You can either dedicate a poem to me at the dinner, or let your wife comment on what happened to me—I don't care which one, you can choose freely." Maria sneered Then replied, "You see, you can choose."

"Are you threatening me?" Aegron was already completely angry, almost gritted his teeth and asked. "If you want me to write poems for you, don't say one poem, ten poems will do, why bother me? You deliberately want to make everyone unhappy, what fun can you get? I ask you to raise your hand for the last time, and I will Thank you very much."

"It doesn't matter how you interpret it, anyway, as a victim, I have the right to do this." Maria replied calmly, "You seem to be very uncomfortable with others treating you like this? Then you will see clearly today, you can't order I can't interfere with my actions, I helped you out of pity, even if I don't claim to be a benefactor, I have no obligation to obey your will - on the contrary, now you ask me!"

Aigron could clearly feel that Maria was deliberately irritating herself, and she really succeeded, and now he was very angry.

His heart was beating faster, urging the blood to flow faster, and if he wanted to move right now, it would almost certainly be as fast as a thunderstorm.

Now there are only two people alone in this garden. If he wants, he can manipulate her to his heart's content, even tearing her up on the spot - no one can stop him.

Perhaps feeling the ferocious aura emanating from him, Maria took a step back in fear, but then she realized that she could not show weakness, so she stood still, then raised her head and stared at the young man in front of her, as if Waiting for his response, it seemed like he was provocatively showing that he was not afraid at all.

Time was slowly passing by, and Aigron moved his steps lightly. Although his steps looked slow, they were unexpectedly fast. Before Maria could react, he had already stretched out his hand and embraced her. Maria's waist.

Maria instinctively leaned back in horror, trying to break free from his hand, but Aegron's hand held it very tightly, and immediately dragged her back.

In this way, the two people face each other, and they can almost feel each other's breath.

"Stop struggling, I don't want you to be hurt." Aigron said softly.

He was very angry just now, and wanted to do it - but seeing this face exactly like Sophie, and recalling the time when the two of them got along, he felt his anger gradually dissipate.

"I'm sorry, I apologize again for my previous offense." Aigron forcibly pulled her into his arms, then hugged her, and continued, "You are right, I really have no right to interfere with you actions, but I will not follow your orders to make any choices, you can do whatever you want, and I accept the consequences of any choices you make."

Then, he closed his eyes slightly, enjoying the tenderness he was used to in the slightly different scent of perfume.

Anyway, I have already offended him, so I won't embarrass myself more if I offend him a little more.

After a while, he opened his arms, nodded as an apology, and then turned and left.

Now that he has decided to accept the reality, he has nothing to fear or scruples. Anyway, there are solutions to everything.

Maria seemed to have been frightened by his rude behavior just now, and stood still in place, only watching his leaving back with flickering eyes.　　

33. Personality distinction

After bidding farewell to Maria, Egron was still angry, but he had learned to control his emotions for a long time, so he didn't make any outrageous actions.

Seeing him coming back, Chanel, who had been standing by the side, hurried back too. She wanted to ask what the master had just talked about with Princess Maria, but seeing the young man's ashen face, she didn't dare to ask any more up.

But complete silence didn't seem to be the answer, so she had to boldly ask the young man.

"Your Majesty, shall we... continue shopping?"

"No, Chanel." Aigron replied softly, "Let's go back, Teresa should have been waiting for us impatiently..."

Just about to leave, after a pause, he seemed to think of something again, and he stopped again.

"Have you had any contact with Princess Maria before?"

"As a maid, I am not qualified to have any contact with her..." Chanel replied aggrieved and slightly sarcastically, "And when I first entered the Bavarian court, I didn't see any members of the royal family. I could be bullied by those in charge. Later, because Princess Sophie was going to marry far away in Austria, others refused to take the initiative to follow her. As soon as I saw the opportunity, I immediately signed up and hoped to serve His Highness there; The people above saw that I was nimble and young, so they agreed to my request, and it was only then that I had the chance to get in touch with Your Highness..."

Egron certainly understands that Chanel took the initiative to apply to go to a foreign country not because she was loyal to the Bavarian royal family, nor to please Sophie, but to take the opportunity to come to the Austrian court and then come close to herself.

So when he heard this, he couldn't help stretching out his hand and stroked Chanel's cheek as a sign of encouragement. "Well, well done."

Chanel smiled slightly, and then continued, "After I came to His Highness Sophie, I met His Highness Maria a few times, and to be honest, I don't have a good impression of her—she is sharp and talkative. You can easily annoy others when you laugh, but fortunately my identity is not worthy of her attention, so she didn't make me feel bad..."

Aigron's expression became strange.

"It seems that Sophie is also like this."

"Yeah, it's just not like this to you." Chanel replied with a smile.

After laughing for a while, she shook her head slightly again, "The two Highnesses are twins after all, and their personalities and ways of handling things are indeed very similar... But as far as my contact is concerned, there seems to be a slight difference, Su Princess Fei is even more majestic, looking down on people is just looking down on people, and she is straightforward when she satirizes others, but Her Royal Highness Maria is a bit..."

Chanel seemed a little at a loss for words.

"Strange yin and yang?" Eggron added in a timely manner.

Tears filled my heart if I said too much, this is the valuable experience he gained after meeting twice.

"Yes! That's how it feels!" Chanel immediately nodded heavily and agreed with this evaluation, "Her Highness Maria can often make others angry with a smile on her face, belittle others, and sometimes she even seems to take pleasure in it ...Hey, it seems that Her Majesty the Queen was also very angry with her several times."

Aigron finally understood that she didn't target herself specially, she treated everyone equally.

Considering the same-sex repulsion, Chanel's evaluation will inevitably have some personal subjective color, but from the experience gained by Aigron from the two contacts with her, it is indeed almost the same.

Speaking of this, Aigron suddenly regretted a little. If he had consulted with Chanel earlier, he would not have been so passive-it's a pity that he buried everything in his heart at the time.

If he had known Maria's character earlier, he would not have allowed himself to be so passive.

Forget it, since the matter has reached this point, there is no point in entanglement, anyway, everyone will meet at dinner later, and there is no way to hide—Aigron has decided that no matter what happens later, he must not get angry, So as not to make things worse.

Suddenly, Aigron suddenly thought of a very important question, "Chanel, what is the relationship between the two sisters?"

Chanel frowned again and began to think, before answering softly after a while, "I can't say clearly... Sometimes the two of them get along very closely, as if talking about everything, but sometimes they mock and derogate each other, as if they insist on arguing. It’s impossible to be high or low.”

Aigron can also imagine why this is the case - the two sisters cherish each other because they were born at the same time, but because they are both arrogant and sharp, they instinctively reject the other "exactly the same" self, so they are sometimes intimate and sometimes quarrel contempt.

So, how much grief did Maria feel for what happened to her sister?

He couldn't guess the answer, but he instinctively felt something was wrong.

It's a pity that things have come to this point, and the letter to Sophie has already arrived in her hands. What's the point of being anxious or worried?

Aigron could only take a deep breath, and then regained his usual calm.

"Okay, I see, thank you. Let's go back."

Then, he made a gesture, and Chanel, who was still full of doubts, had to keep calm, and then brought Aigron back to the living room.

When they came back, it was already dusk, and Teresa was still talking with Princess Augusta, such as "the weather is very good today", "the weather in Austria is better", "the weather in Greece is the best". Such unnutritious conversations-no way, this is the need of social interaction, even if two people are impatient, they have to go on.

After seeing her husband come back, Teresa finally breathed a sigh of relief, freed herself from the dull chat, and then looked at her husband with a happy smile.

"Honey, are you feeling better?" she asked cheerfully.

"Well, I'm in a much better mood." Aigron nodded calmly, then walked to his wife's side, "Are you having a good chat?"

"I'm so happy! Her Royal Highness Augusta is a very cheerful and gentle person. She formed a happy family. I got a lot of useful teachings from her." Teresa used the usual words in the social field answer.

"Well, I also feel very happy. Princess Teresa is very pleasant to get along with." Princess Augusta also replied with a smile, "I really hope that you can have a big family soon. Children are given to us by God. The more angels you have around you, the better."

"We'll try..." Teresa replied shyly.

Princess Augusta looked at the wall clock next to her, and then looked out of the window.

"It seems that another guest has come." Then, she said back. "I saw her carriage."

"Well, is there another guest?" Teresa had the same doubts as Chanel just now. After all, Princess Augusta is in the state of receiving guests today, and no one would normally visit at this time.

"Hey, she is too capricious, but what can I do? After all, she is my sister, even if it is not the same mother, I have to tolerate a little." Princess Augusta smiled bitterly, and then she reminded the boy in front of her Couple, "Well, since she's here, how about we have dinner together later?"

"Of course it's fine. Since it's your sister, Her Royal Highness Princess of Bavaria, of course we should respect her a bit—" Teresa agreed without thinking.

"She's not an easy person to get along with... Sometimes it's quite nerve-wracking." Princess Augusta still smiled wryly, and then she seemed to think of something, "However, although you are meeting her for the first time , but I think maybe you two will feel a little familiar and familiar."

"..." Teresa looked at her in confusion, unable to figure out what she meant.

Suddenly, Teresa felt a very bad feeling in her heart. She seemed to think of something faintly, but she couldn't catch the inspiration all at once.

However, the development of reality didn't require her to think about it any more. After waiting for a long time, the door was opened by a servant, and then a woman wearing a soft hat and holding a folding fan walked in slowly while the skirt fluttered.

Teresa's attention was instantly sucked away by her.

Familiarity is very familiar, but kindness is not at all.

"His Royal Highness Sophie..." Teresa exclaimed, "How could you be here?"

"She is not Her Royal Highness Sophie." Princess Augusta replied immediately, "She is Sophie's twin sister, Maria. Teresa, am I right? You must have recognized her at a glance!"

After hearing this explanation, Teresa immediately understood what Princess Augusta said just now, "Although you are meeting her for the first time, I think the two of you may feel a little familiar and kind." what.

It stands to reason that she has also studied the genealogy of various royal families, and has already known that Sophie has a twin sister, but she has always avoided contact with Sophie, and even deliberately forgot things related to her. Pay attention to this thing.

But when that exact same face reappeared in front of him, the memory that was once dusty began to appear vividly in front of his eyes again.

Familiarity is very familiar, but kindness is not at all.

From Princess Maria's half-smile expression, she could always find the familiar irony.

Almost in an instant, Teresa turned her gaze slightly and looked at her husband, and Aegron's surprised and slightly embarrassed apologetic eyes met her.

He wasn't surprised enough!Teresa immediately said in her heart.

Based on what she knew about her husband, once he saw Princess Maria here for the first time, even if he knew she was only Sophie's twin sister, he couldn't be so calm.

So, what does he know?Had the Bavarians secretly informed him before?Teresa was immediately suspicious.

Also, why would Princess Maria be so rude to visit when her sister was still there?Now it seems that there is an answer - she did it on purpose.

Teresa didn't know what happened, but she knew that things would definitely not be as simple as they appeared.

Aren't those grievances and entanglements over?Why is it endless... She suddenly felt a pain in her head, and her original relaxation and comfort were instantly swept away.

Mrs. Augusta didn't know what happened in Austria, so her mood was still as relaxed as before. After Maria came to her side, she took the initiative to speak to Teresa.

"When I heard that Maria wanted to visit me today, I was a little surprised, but maybe it was fate... Her sister is in Austria, and I heard that she took good care of Egron, and now she also happened to meet you."

Where is this fate?She must have done it on purpose!Teresa thought.

Thinking of this, her mood became a little worse - although she didn't know what Princess Maria wanted to do, she definitely didn't feel any kindness from the other party's smile.

"Yes, we have been taken care of by Her Royal Highness Sophie." Although she thought so in her heart, Teresa still maintained her demeanor on the surface, "It's a pity that after we leave Austria, it may be difficult to see her again... "

Then, she looked at Maria again, "Your Highness, it is my honor to meet you. Sorry, I mistook you for your sister just now."

"Your Highness Teresa, I have heard about you for a long time. I am very happy to meet you today-you are as beautiful and dignified as the rumors. It doesn't matter, you don't have to feel sorry, we will always be misunderstood, and we have been like this since we were young " Maria put a smile on her face, and then replied in a tolerant tone, "Even those closest to us often make such mistakes, let alone you?"

Although this sentence sounded very ordinary, Teresa couldn't help but glanced at Aigron.

Aegron's silence all the time made her a little impatient.

"My dear, shouldn't you say hello?" So she urged. "She's your aunt's twin sister, you can't be rude."

"It's okay, just treat me as an ordinary friend, and you don't have to be so unfamiliar." Maria replied nonchalantly, then seemed to think of something, and looked at Teresa with a curious smile, "As far as I know, Teresa Your Highness, your father is the younger brother of the grandfather of the Duke of Reichstedt. If you want to forcefully talk about elders, it seems that you should be regarded as your husband’s elders? Are you also respectful when you get along with each other every day? That’s true. Tired."

When Maria asked her such a question, Teresa was suddenly speechless, and there was nowhere to vent the anger in her heart.

She found out that Maria was indeed hostile to her—and her venomous words seemed to be no less than Sophie's.

As expected, they are real sisters, what a virtue... Those gray memories from the past came back to Teresa's heart with mixed feelings.
