Eagle's Glory

However, even if the future expectations of the two people are completely different, at least the current path is still the same. The Earl's advice is indeed reasonable. When there is a chance to exert your influence, why not?

For all the distaste for Bourbon, it was the first time a political figure on stage took himself seriously.

Besides, I have already put down my face to write a letter of guarantee, so what's the point of being visited as an exhibit again?

From this point of view, it is indeed a very good start.

Thinking of this, Aigron changed his mind.

"I don't care about dignity, but I'm not here to see whoever I want." He replied calmly.

"As long as you nod, the French ambassador will find a way to go to Metternich to make a request, and then it's his business." The earl nodded, as if he was very satisfied with Egron's humility to accept advice, " Your Highness, although I know that you have learned how to deal with people long ago, I still want to remind you that you should try to be gentle and kind to him, which is good for you."

"You don't have to worry about that," Eggron smiled, "You may not believe it, but now I am the most die-hard supporter of the Bourbon royal family."

Don't you fall down before I do it.　　

58. instruction

After sending off his guardian, Aigron finally had time to rest. When he woke up again, it was already the next morning and he had slept for more than ten hours.

Because he had enough rest, he felt refreshed after waking up, sweeping away his previous fatigue.

He spent the day at his usual pace, and when dusk fell, Chanel brought him an invitation from Princess Sophie, and at the same time asked him to change into the clothes of ordinary citizens.

Aigron understood what was going on as soon as he heard it, so of course he didn't neglect, he quickly took care of himself again, and then went to see Her Royal Highness.

After not seeing her for a few days, Princess Sophie looked a little haggard, which Eggron noticed.

"Your Highness, good evening." He first said hello, and then asked again worriedly, "You don't seem to be in a good mood?"

"It's nothing, Eggron, welcome back." Princess Sophie shook her head, then smiled slightly, "I'll take you to Vienna tonight, it's time to see their progress."

"Even if it's a day or two late, it doesn't matter, why don't you take a rest?" Aigron suggested.

"No! Just today." Princess Sophie flatly rejected his proposal, "This is about the reputation of the Memmingen siblings, we must not slack off."

"Okay." Now that His Highness has talked about this, Aigron certainly has no way to say anything more, "Thank you."

The two of them boarded the carriage that had been prepared together, and embarked on the journey to the theater again.

Along the way, Aigron could clearly feel that Sophie was not in the right place, and seemed to have a lot of thoughts, but she refused to reveal it, just chatting with each other. Regarding his experience of traveling with His Majesty in the countryside for a few days, Princess Sophie didn't ask a word, maybe she was deliberately avoiding the fact that she didn't want to face it.

As for why His Highness was unhappy, Aigron vaguely had an answer in his heart, and because he guessed it, he didn't dare to ask any more, so the two of them deliberately avoided talking about it.

The carriage traveled through the streets of the city, and finally arrived at the far corner of the Ruby Theater under the cover of night.

The two of them stepped out of the carriage, followed by the guards, and walked towards the theater.

Because it was already autumn, the wind at night was a bit cool. Aigron deliberately stood on the side facing the wind, and then stretched out his hand graciously.

Sophie naturally took his hand, and the two walked into the theater like no one else was there.

As VIP customers who spend a lot of money, the two of them certainly enjoyed a different treatment now. As soon as they entered, they were greeted by a special person, and they were taken to the box they had reserved.

Then, the manager of the theater soon came as scheduled.

"Good evening, sir." Sophie greeted him coldly, "I want to ask, what happened to the script?"

"Miss Memmingen! You're finally here, and I'm worried that you'll forget about it." As soon as we met, he complained helplessly, "When you leave, we are happy and relaxed, but we are in trouble. "

"We also have our work to do." Sophie replied, "Just tell me how it's going."

"You've made it too difficult for us, miss." The manager frowned, and then complained, "Your young master insists on keeping his original flavor and won't allow us to adapt it, so when we encounter problems, we won't change it." Dare to mess around on your own, but...you can't find you when you want to ask! If this is the case, the progress will definitely not be fast, can you think of a solution?"

This question surprised both Sophie and Aigron.

But if you think about it carefully, this is indeed an unavoidable problem.

what to do?The two looked at each other.

The manager obviously wanted the two of them to leave a mailing address so that they could communicate at any time if there was a problem, but this was impossible for the two of them, so they couldn't leave the address of the palace.

"I understand the desire of the two of you to keep your residence secret. Rich people have their own quirks. For the sake of money, everyone can bear it..." The manager continued to complain, "But can you think of a way to let us Can you know the intentions of the two at any time?"

"Okay, I'll leave you an address later, and then you can send the letter to that place." Sophie thought for a while, and then replied.

"Okay, then I don't have any objections, miss." The manager breathed a sigh of relief,

"Okay, let's not talk about this issue for now, how is the progress of the script?" Princess Sophie changed the subject, "It's impossible for you to do nothing, right?"

"Of course not." The manager quickly shook his head, "Actually, I'm already arranging people to rehearse. But you also know that our stage is limited, and our manpower is also limited. Our main focus can only be on the existing ones. In the show..."

The implication of the manager is that he can only arrange those unknown young actors to deal with this errand.

"You guys think too well, don't you?" Sophie became angry when she heard it, "Any new play you put on will take risks, but this time I bear all the expenses, which means that the risks are all on my side. Such a good thing? In the end, you used this method to perfuse us?"

"Miss, don't be angry." The manager quickly explained, "You can also see that our theater here is not the best, so we can only operate cautiously and perform those plays that have been proven to be popular in other places... In this way The risk is the least. Now we are several pillar actors, all have their own performance tasks, and the audience will not easily accept substitutions... Although you can help us offset the cost, but there is no way to guarantee the income, we really have no choice Let them take risks for a show that doesn't know the payoff."

Sophie wanted to say something more, but Aigron stopped her.

"I don't mind whether they are famous actors or not, as long as they work hard to perform." He looked at the manager gently, "In fact, you are willing to help me to go to the screening, which already makes me very satisfied, sir."

Seeing that the young man is so easy to talk, the manager is also relieved, "Master, thank you for your generosity. Don't worry, these young actors are working very hard. After all, there are too few opportunities left for them, and I will watch for you." of."

"When is the rehearsal?" Aigron asked directly.

"We usually rehearse at noon." The manager replied. "If you are free, you can come and have a look. I believe that if you come to guide me in person, the effect will definitely be much better, at least it will be closer to your heart."

The two looked at each other again.

The few times they went out were at night, Aigron wasn't sure if Sophie would bring her here during the day.

Sophie nodded lightly, indicating that she could accept this condition.

"That's it." Aigron immediately agreed, "Goodbye, sir."

"You are so easy to talk to, Eggron." After he left, Sophie couldn't help complaining to Eggron. "People like you will lose nothing in business."

Aegron just smiled.

The script itself is just a prop to him, and he doesn't care who plays it.

"As long as you can realize your dream, why care about so many details? It just affects your mood in vain." He shrugged handsomely.

"That's right, of course you don't need to care about this..." Sophie frowned pretending to be angry, then stretched out her hand and pinched his face, "Anyway, you spent my money, so why feel bad!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't help laughing herself.

"Well, as long as you're happy."

With her laughter, it seemed that the haze between the two of them just now dissipated.

"Do you feel sorry for Teresa? I heard that she changed her mind temporarily and told His Majesty to reconsider." After a while, she suddenly asked.

Aigron wasn't surprised that Sophie was so well-informed - among other things, Her Majesty the Queen was her own sister after all.

"It's not regrettable, but I was very surprised, even a little moved..." Aigron shook his head, "Because she took on the trouble for me."

"What do you mean?" Sophie was puzzled.

Aigron told Sophie about his experience that day.

Sophie finished listening quietly, and then asked again.

"In other words, you took the initiative to tell her to think about it later?"

"That's right." Aigron nodded, "Unexpectedly, she took the initiative to take responsibility... From this point of view, I should be very grateful to her."

"Okay, since the matter is already like this, there is no point in thinking about it so much." Sophie shook her head, signaling to end the topic, "Since we came here in the name of sister and brother Memmingen, then don't worry about it." What happened over there."

Didn't you ask it yourself... Eggron couldn't help complaining in his heart.

But he could also tell that Her Highness the Princess was very happy right now, even the corners of her eyes were filled with smiles.

Apparently, the news that Aigron said greatly changed her mood.

"Oh, I forgot to do something." Her Royal Highness suddenly seemed to remember something, opened the door and walked out of the box, and then waved in the corridor, gesturing for Captain Foresty, who was guarding there, to come over.

The captain walked into the box in bewilderment. "Your Highness, do you have any orders?"

"Captain, I hope that if you are free recently, you can come to the city and do something for me." Princess Sophie said calmly.

"What's the matter?" the captain asked again.

"You go to the hotel near the theater and book a suite, let's open it for a year first. I will bear the cost, and you can report the number to me when the time comes."

The captain's eyes widened immediately, and when he looked at the two Highnesses in front of him, his expression at that moment became extremely shocked and strange.

"Your Highness...Your Highness..." His tone was dry, as if he didn't know what he was talking about, "You...Why do you have such a request?"

"We need to leave a correspondence address." Princess Sophie replied calmly, "Aigron wants to stage his play here, and this requires him to have a place where he can communicate with the theater at any time. We leave the address of the palace Of course it's impossible, so I think that's the only way to go - after you book the suite, go there regularly and bring us the letters from the theater back to the palace. Also, what letters does Aigron have? If you want to send it to them, you can also send it at that address, do you think it is okay?"

"Uh...so...that's how it is." Captain Foresty was shocked for a while, and finally controlled his demeanor.

Then, he looked at Aigron, his expression was still a little weird.

"Your Highness...you...what do you think?"

"Let's do it like this, Captain." Aigron nodded, "I hope you can help us with this... just treat it as a dream come true for me."　　

59. Advice and supplication

"I hope you can help us with this... Just treat it as a dream come true for me."

Aigron deliberately made his tone sincere and a little pleading.

Having known each other for so many years, he knows the character of his teacher. The captain is a soldier with a strong personality, and he has no power over him. Threats can only be counterproductive, so he can only speak soft words and use the mentor and apprentice who have been with him for many years to move him emotionally.

Sure enough, after hearing his words, the captain's expression became a little weird, uncertain, obviously shaken.

Aigron knew that this kind of thing should not give him too much time to consider and weigh, so he could only continue to increase the size when he wavered, and after he said yes, it was impossible for him to go back on his word.

"I know, Captain, this is a bit troublesome for you, but I also ask you to do me a favor because this is my only entertainment now." He continued to ask the other party, "If you stand by If you don't, things will get very tricky... I really don't want to see the entertainment I finally found end in this way, it's too disappointing."

Under his offensive, Captain Foresty finally nodded hesitantly, "Okay, Your Highness, I will follow your order."

"Very well, Captain, I will remember your help to him." Sophie nodded with a smile, "As I said, I will be responsible for all the expenses, and the time you will spend next will definitely not be for nothing For the reward, please rest assured."

"I didn't do it for pay." The captain smiled wryly, and then suddenly made a request. "His Royal Highness, can I speak to the Duke alone?"

Before Sophie could make a statement, Aigron agreed directly.

"of course can."

So, the two walked out of the box and came to the corridor.

Because a drama is being performed on the stage at the moment, and people in the boxes upstairs are watching the drama seriously, so the corridor is very empty at the moment.

"Captain, do you have anything to tell me?" Eggron asked.

After Captain Foresty looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to them, he turned his head to look at the boy.

"Your Highness, why don't you take a shortcut and insist on making trouble for yourself?"

"What do you mean?" Aegron asked back.

"With your intelligence, it is impossible for you not to understand." The captain shook his head, "Your Highness, we are the people around you, we have been taking care of you for many years, and we have been thinking about your future several times, so we give you The suggestions are all well-thought-out and definitely fit your actual needs—you are young now, and I can understand your impulsive feelings, but I don’t think you should make fun of your own future.”

"I think I understand what you mean." Aigron shrugged. "However, you are overthinking it. I just really need a mailing address, so I have to take this expedient method."

"Once you get to this point, it doesn't matter what your original intention is." The captain smiled wryly and shook his head, "That's the place His Highness bought with money, if one day, you and His Highness really want to go and have a look, don't I Can you still stop it?"

... Eggron was slightly embarrassed.

"Your imagination is too rich."

"I'm sorry, Your Highness. A normal person at my age usually has a rich imagination." The captain replied.

"Then you mean, you want to refuse?" Aigron asked back.

"No, Your Highness, I can help you. Since I have already asked, I will do it. And I admit that you really need such help in order to realize your dream." The captain shook his head again, and then sighed , "What's more, you are all members of the royal family. I should not question what you want to do. My task is to protect you and His Highness from outside disturbance and harassment. I am not qualified to take care of other things."

Aigron heard that there seemed to be something implied in the captain's words.

Before he could ask again, the captain suddenly looked at him seriously, "But...in exchange, I also ask you to remember what I told you before - in your world, marriage and love are two different things, Anna of Austria's marriage to Louis XIII did not prevent her from being too close to the Duke of Buckingham; similarly, feelings and interests are two different things, and the Duke of Buckingham's affair with the queen of Louis XIII did not prevent Britain and France from going to war-in short In a word, you should put your interests first, and neither marriage nor love can affect your reason. You can enjoy this kind of fun, but Your Highness Teresa is much more beneficial to you, and you must not forget this with your emotions."

Aegron finally understood.

My teacher is not advising myself not to cross the threshold; but is advising myself that even if it does cross the threshold, he must prioritize his own interests and continue to walk the path they planned for himself.

This is really... He was speechless for a moment.

But it also showed how wise he was to insist that the captain be in charge of the security.

Although the earl and the captain are guardians and teachers assigned to him by the royal family, after years of getting along, he and them are not just a relationship between superiors and subordinates, but have become a loose community of interests in a sense, whether it is out of gratitude The motivation is still motivated by future interests, and they all desperately hope that they can make a fortune-although it is only in Austria.

It's like the team of attendants around the normal princes.
