Eagle's Glory

Maybe he wouldn't be so excited if he was in public or in the presence of other people.

But now, in this small space, there were only the two of them. He could see her appearance, hear her voice, and smell her scent... He couldn't escape even if he wanted to, and it was impossible for him to dream of something wrong.

It would be great if this was Sophie... Eggron sighed in his heart.

Suddenly, a strange thought flashed through his mind.

The idea was vague at first, but gradually became clearer.

He suddenly thought of an almost crazy idea, an idea that no one else had thought of.

Driven by this thought, he stretched out his hand unconsciously and took Maria's hand.

"What are you doing?" Maria was a little surprised and wanted to break free, but seeing the burning fire in the young man's eyes, she was stunned for a moment.

"You and her are really similar, whether it's appearance or manner." Aigron suddenly sighed, "Even someone like me who has been with her day and night is not so easy to tell the difference."

"You bastard!" He was answered by Maria's scolding and embarrassing gaze.

Only then did he realize that his actions and these words might have reminded Maria of the way he "distinguished" their sisters when the two of them first met.

In terms of status, Maria is the princess, but it is obvious that she has not been trained and has no strength to restrain her. In theory, he wants to do something, and no one seems to be able to stop him.

But now he doesn't want to repeat his amazing move, but...

"Your Highness, maybe we can exchange the two of you sisters."　　

68. You Xing

"Your Highness, maybe we can exchange the two of you sisters."

Although Egron's voice was very low, it sounded like thunder to Maria.

Even a deviant person like her hadn't thought about this shocking proposal, so that she was stunned and speechless, and even forgot the shame and indignation caused by Egron's rash actions just now.

After a while, she finally regained consciousness, and then the shame and anger came back to her heart, she glared at the young man in front of her, then raised her hand and slapped him.

With Aigron's skill, her movements were ridiculously slow, but at this moment Aigron obviously didn't want to be rough, so he just leaned back and avoided the slap, and his hand that grabbed Maria followed suit. Let go.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I was just a moment of excitement and my head was dazzled... I didn't do it on purpose." Aigron quickly explained to her.

Then, he asked cautiously, "What do you think of my idea?"

"It's so stupid!" Maria was furious, and then almost yelled at him, "Do you think I can be swapped at will because I look the same as her? Although we two grew up together since we were young, but we We have been separated for several years! During these few years, her experience is completely different from mine, and the people she knows are also different, how could I easily deceive everyone?

Besides, even if I mustered up the courage to do it, so that most people can't tell the difference, why would I have to sacrifice my life for her?Do you think I haven't been to her place?That damned place, dull and lonely, and there is an arrogant and sharp old thing looking for trouble at any time, you can't stay on your own, and you have the nerve to ask me if I want to?Who would? !

Do you think the two of us really have such a good relationship that I am willing to give everything for her?When did I let you have the illusion that I am such a saint?I don't know why you have such a stupid and muddled idea, but I advise you to take it back as soon as possible, I am not a servant you can call at will! "

Maria's robbing was so fast and intense that Aigron could barely get in the conversation.

However, although she scolded harshly, she was able to think of so many things after only a moment, which showed that she was really thoughtful.

From another perspective, doesn't this mean that she is a partner who can plan conspiracies together?

While Eggron was thinking, Maria continued to rob him.

"Let's not say whether I am willing or not, even if I am willing, do you think that switching me and her is just a matter of you saying a few words? How can you hide so many people in the court and let her and I switch identities? Don't forget, just because of you, her status in the court has been greatly reduced, and she is no longer the person who can be bossed around, how can that old thing relax her surveillance?"

This point touched the point, so that Aigron was speechless for a while.

But he still didn't give up.

He has always been a stubborn person, and the guilt and longing for Sophie in his heart have made him feel a lot of depression all the time. Although it is his responsibility for things to come to this point, he doesn't want to really be with her in this life. There is no longer any intersection.

If it was before, he couldn't do anything. After all, the two people have special identities. No matter whether he can achieve great things in the future, it will be difficult for them to continue their relationship. But with Maria, the situation is different-Sophie can't leave Austria travels everywhere, but unmarried Maria has no restrictions.

Therefore, as long as Sophie becomes Maria within a certain period of time, all problems can be solved, and not many people will be frightened by it.

Now that he saw the dawn in a sudden flash of inspiration, it is certainly impossible for Aigron to give up this idea so easily.

He is an activist. Now that he has made up his mind, he starts to consider the issues of "how to implement" and "feasibility".

The first step, obviously, is to convince Maria that if she doesn't want to, then everything is false.

But she is definitely not so easy to persuade. If she is asked to permanently replace Sophie's life, face the Habsburg royal family, and live Sophie's current life, she is definitely not willing.

"I know, you definitely won't be happy to live her life forever, but what if it's just a temporary replacement?" Aigron boldly suggested, "For example, about half a year, or about a year, even if it's only for such a short time, It is also enough for me and her to leave many memories and make up for the regrets of the past."

"It's easy to say! Why didn't you go there for a year and a half? And if it happens, I'm the one who will be punished. You can hide in other places and have a good time, so I won't do it...!" Maria remained angry. Glaring at him in relief, "I warn you, if you mention this to me again, I'll throw you from the boat into the river!"

Aigron didn't believe that she was capable of throwing herself into the river, but now that she had said that, she couldn't continue to provoke her now.

But deep down in his heart, he will not give up, he just hibernates temporarily.

It was obvious that this half-baked plan was all up to Maria, and if she couldn't get her nod, it wouldn't work from the start.

With the first step, we can consider how to do the second step.

So, how to get her to nod and be willing to cooperate with this kind of conspiracy that is very risky for her but has little benefit?

It can only be "repeated".

Sophie did such absurd things because he once dared to risk the world's disgrace; conversely, if Maria also fell in love, then she might be willing to do the same - after all, their personalities are so similar, They all have the kind of arrogance that is not afraid of anything.

As long as she is willing, there is nothing she dare not do.

Fortunately, when Sophie intentionally matched the two of them and always spoke well of herself to her younger sister, Maria had already accumulated some good feelings for herself—judging from her performance all the time, this must be the case.

So, why not work harder...

"What bad idea are you planning?" Seeing the young man's changing eyes, Maria shuddered for no reason, "I warn you, if you still want to mention this matter to me, I will turn against you immediately! "

"No, of course not." Egron shook his head lightly, and replied in a slightly sad tone, "Your Highness, you have been kind to me, and you have helped me with sincerity. There are very few people in this position, how can I expect more? Since you don't want to, then I will definitely not say any more, just pretend that I haven't said anything..."

As he was talking, he suddenly swallowed even more, "I'm sorry, I know that such a request is very abrupt, and it is very detrimental to you. If I am sane, I will never say such embarrassing things. Asked, I am really dizzy... You brought me a message from Her Majesty Sophie, and my heart was filled with guilt and longing. That's it... If you are someone else, you will definitely not understand my thoughts, but you know what happened between me and her better than anyone else, and you also know the pain she has endured, so I ask you to forgive me."

Having said that, the young man couldn't go on talking anymore, but just bowed his head secretly.

Seeing what he said so sincerely, Maria gradually softened her heart, and her original scowl gradually relaxed.

Indeed, as he said, she knew the inside story better than anyone else, and could understand the madness of these two people.

This young man put forward such a crazy idea, but it proved that he hadn't forgotten the past, and he was still thinking about his sister—this showed that he still had some truth left.

It's just... in order to fulfill the true feelings of others, Maria has no interest in sacrificing herself.

"I can pretend that I didn't hear about this matter. I advise you to be a little more respectful in the future, and don't always think about doing things that shock the world." She replied coldly, "Sophie told me that now she doesn't want to Acting rashly, I just want to spend time first, and when that old thing is killed, naturally there will be no one in the court to control her, and it will not be too late to think about other things at that time."

You were urging me to kill my grandfather not long ago, is it really convincing to say this now?Aigron couldn't help complaining in his heart.

Sophie's idea is indeed positive, but there is a problem with this idea-the hope is pinned on the life span of the Habsburg emperor.

Now he is 60 years old. According to the standards of this era, this is an age where he may go to see God at any time. Sophie naturally has no problem thinking so.

However, his grandfather was a long-lived emperor.

In the original historical line, the emperor did not die until 1835, that is to say, if Sophie wanted to get her wish, she would have to wait seven years under normal circumstances.

In terms of human life, seven years is indeed not too long... But, doesn't this mean that Sophie will have to endure so many years of suffering?Seven years later, she was already 30 years old, and the long wait was enough to kill her youth, and he didn't want to wait another seven years with her.

At this time, Aigron remembered the "filial piety" theory put forward by Princess Maria when he was in Bavaria - if his grandfather left the world early, Sophie would be able to suffer less, and he and she could use Maria I came to meet you as a substitute.

Sophie and Maria each provided half of the idea, but he combined the two sisters' ideas in his mind and incorporated his own "innovation".

In terms of relatives, Emperor Franz is his maternal grandfather, but as the heir of the Bonaparte family, he does not have much affection for the Habsburg emperor, and His Majesty's cold treatment of him over the years is even more important. It made him accumulate too much resentment.

He didn't care about His Majesty's life at all, what he was afraid of was the consequences after the incident was revealed.

If you have the chance, give it a try...

As soon as Aigron turned this thought around, he immediately became serious.

This matter is too important, unless he absolutely trusts it, he can't mention it in front of anyone, even Maria can't know—even if it was Maria's idea in the first place.

Besides, this is not a good place to discuss such things.

"I understand...she is right. We are young after all. As long as we survive, there will always be a day when we will turn around." Aigron deliberately replied sadly, "Although we do need to wait, we can afford it. I just need It’s nice to know she’s not despairing yet.”

Seeing his sullen look, Maria didn't make any more taunts.

So the two had their own concerns, and tacitly changed the topic.

In order to improve their mood, the two of them meaningfully stopped talking about these heavy topics, and started chatting about interesting things. It has to be said that Maria is indeed well-educated, and she is smart and keen, so it’s okay to chat Quite happily, the two of them started laughing and laughing again.

While they were chatting, the small cruise ship came along the canal to the big market on the bank, which also means that this journey has come to a temporary end.

After staying in this small space for so long, Maria was already a little bored, and now she just proposed to go out for a walk and get a change of air, and of course Egron would not object.

So, the two of them settled the bill with the boatman, and then the boat docked on the berth on the embankment, and then went ashore together.

They began to wander along the market - like Aigron, for Maria, Milan was a city she had never been to, and this kind of bustling market was also very strange to her, so it was up to her Considerable novelty.

And Aigron intentionally flattered her for his own purpose, and kept saying compliments to her, which made her laugh constantly. When she was in a happy mood, she also bought a few different ones at the market. A valuable trinket to keep as a souvenir when returning to Bavaria.

Unknowingly, the time came to the afternoon, the sun was slanting to the west, and even the bustling canal was dyed a little golden.

"There is still some time, why don't we go to Milan Cathedral to take a look, isn't that place quite famous?" Maria suggested.

If you want to say that the most famous building in Milan is naturally the cathedral, of course Aigron is also somewhat interested in it.

The construction of this magnificent cathedral started in 1386, the vault was completed in 1500, and it was not fully completed until 1965. It took five centuries to witness the most prosperous history of the city.

During its construction, it was already the largest Gothic building in the world, and it can almost be regarded as an outstanding symbol of the city and even Italy-and it also has a deep connection with the empire. On April 1805, the coronation ceremony was held in Milan Cathedral and became the king of the Kingdom of Italy.

Since I have come here, and I linger here as a tourist, it seems a pity not to go there.

"It's an honor." Eggron nodded with a smile on his face.

So, after asking the locals, the two rushed towards the Milan Cathedral excitedly.

At this time, they were immersed in the joy of traveling, and they didn't feel the shadow at all, and they were following them leisurely, heading for the place of fate.　　

Fanwai (15) The Blessing of All People

Haute-Savoie in eastern France, adjacent to the Swiss border, next to Lake Geneva, has always been known for its beautiful scenery.

The climate here is suitable, and the water vapor from the Alps keeps the air humid all the time; because the terrain is relatively rugged, it is divided into independent sections by nature, and the relatively sparse population keeps it far away from the mainland. The hustle and bustle of the city can completely show the beauty and magnificence of nature.

On the branch of the Alps not far from the national border, there are two verdant and green hills, and there is a canyon between the two mountains. The streams flowing from the mountains flow into the canyon through small waterfalls, and then merge with Du The clear source of the river converges, because the opening between the canyons is very narrow, so the water will temporarily silt in the canyon to form a beautiful small lake, and then pour down with two waterfalls and converge into a clear small river. The river irrigated the valley below the mountain and nourished the creatures everywhere.

Mountains and valleys, lakes and waterfalls, as well as endless forests and bushes, as well as the farmland and farms at the foot of the mountain, all kinds of beautiful scenery converge into a breathtaking picture, which is magnificent and independent, free from any external disturbance, Even time seems to be frozen here.

Beside the lake between the peaks, there is a small castle, which presents an irregular prismatic shape. The red bricks and gray-yellow stucco make it complement the surrounding woods, and the wide view around it makes People who live here can fully enjoy the beauty of the Alps without worrying about being snooped by boring people outside.

The castle was previously the resting place of an archbishop after his retirement, but it quietly changed hands many years ago and fell into the hands of a mysterious buyer.

After the castle changed hands, the buyer also remodeled the castle. Although the exterior was kept in a low-key manner, the interior has completely changed. During the period, it was used as an office, and under the castle, an underground wine cellar was also expanded, filled with fine wine from all over the place for the owner to enjoy.

Such a transformation would of course cost a huge amount of money, but for the buyer, these costs are completely worthless.

Every season when autumn and winter intersect, he would secretly come to this place to avoid all kinds of complicated affairs, enjoy a quiet vacation, and calm down his anxious mind.

Of course, this castle has a more important role...a role that will never be recorded in the annals of history but is enough to be enchanting and confusing.

Whether it is the official history of the empire, or those unofficial histories that flatter or smear, they will not reveal the real secrets hidden here. Only those most trusted and trusted servants who follow the master have the opportunity to accidentally use their Eyes through the fog of history, unraveling the mysterious veil hanging over the castle - of course, they will wisely choose to keep silent, take the secret into the grave, let it become the dust of history.

At this time, on the top floor of the castle, the mysterious owner of the castle is resting on the sofa.

After special renovation, this room is very spacious and equipped with large floor-to-ceiling glass windows. Through the wide windows, you can clearly see the picturesque scenery composed of mountains, residual snow, lakes and forests outside the window, and The fireplace in the room was burning brightly, making it as warm as spring.

A thick cashmere carpet is laid on the floor, and beside the armrest of the sofa, there is a small coffee table with wine glasses and fruits for the host to enjoy.

At this time, the host was lazily lying on the sofa, eyes half-opened, holding a wine glass in his hand, the wine in the glass shook slightly, reflecting soft light.

He is about 30 years old, looks handsome and full of majesty that has lived on people for a long time, and his broad forehead and faint smile show that he is not lacking in wisdom and alertness.

However, at this time, he was looking tired, his whole body was slack and weak, and there were fine bloodshot eyes in his eyes, which made him feel a little bit more heaviness of being ravaged by life.

At this time, he was in a daze while looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window, his breathing gradually eased up, and he was about to fall asleep.

However, his calmness was quickly broken, as the door was gently opened, a woman in tulle pajamas walked in gently.

She is about 30 years old, but because of the excellent maintenance, there are not many age marks on her body. On the contrary, her skin is whiter and brighter. In every move, she shows her attractive figure, full of mellow Lady temperament.

However, in those eyes, there is often a domineering arrogance, which inadvertently makes people flinch.

She walked gently to the side of the young man, and then she didn't speak, just grabbed his hand, and let it close to her waist.

Through the thin gauze, that hand could immediately feel the warmth of the skin against the skin, as well as the boiling fire of desire behind this warmth.

This is an extreme temptation that makes people short of breath. No matter it was then or now, it is hard for young people to resist. If it is normal, after receiving this signal, he will definitely give the most intense response, allowing the two of them to enjoy it again. The kind of reckless joy.

It's just... the physical exhaustion at this moment made him temporarily powerless.

"Sophie, let me rest for a while..." He complained in a low voice, "You and Maria worked so hard last night...I'm a little tired now."

This kind of words, put on him in the past, was absolutely an unspeakable shame, but this time he was really hollowed out, so he could only speak out with shame and embarrassment.
