Eagle's Glory

Moreover, is she really willing to abandon all reputation, status, and bear all the infamy for herself?Even if she wanted to, he couldn't possibly want to.

He already owed her too much, and he could only make up for it slowly in the future, instead of dragging her into the abyss for his own whim.

So, don't have any more illusions, silly boy... all costs can be paid for by success later.He said silently in his heart.

However, although he was controlled by reason, Aegron felt extremely resentful in his heart. The feeling that he couldn't do what he wanted to do really made him uncomfortable.

Just make up for this resentment with carnival.

Let's have a real fun at Mardi Gras...

He looked at Sophie, then made up his mind.

Although the two are so close, there is still the last step that has not been realized. He must reach the end point. Only in this way can he make up his wish.

So what did Sophie think?No matter how delusional he was, if Sophie didn't want to, he would never be able to force it.

"It's good to let you decide once in a while, so I can feel pleasantly surprised"... He recalled this sentence again.

That's enough.

Well... great.

He silently made up his mind.

Unknowingly, the rehearsal ended, and Aigron followed Sophie down the stairs, preparing to leave.

During the gap, Chanel walked up to him and handed him a small bag.

"Your Highness, this is the money I got from pawning gems for you at the pawn shop." Chanel whispered, "I'm going to change clothes, so I'll give it to you first."

"Okay, you've worked hard, Chanel." Aigron nodded with a smile, encouraging his loyal followers.

Yes, that's what he wants to do.

No matter how warm and lingering, it can't shake his will. Since the plan has been started, it must be completed.

And the rest is... to linger while all the good things are still there.　　

73, each with his own mind

Bathed in the early morning sunlight, Aegron, who got up early, started a day of morning training with his swordsmanship teacher, Captain Foresty, as usual.

When practicing with the teacher today, Eggron was very hard, so when he stopped, he was a little out of breath, but he was also very comfortable.

Under the Arc de Triomphe, facing the cool wind, Egron wiped the sweat off his face with a handkerchief, and then looked at the captain.

"Captain, there is something I want to ask you."

"Please ask me, I know everything." Captain Foresty was a little surprised at first, then put away his sword and replied.

"The city of Vienna holds a carnival every year. If Her Royal Highness Sophie and I want to participate anonymously this year and experience the fun of civic life, will you stop it?" Eggron asked.

"If there is no order from the superior to stop it, then of course I will not disturb the elegant mood of the two highnesses." The captain replied very simply.

"Then..." Aigron stared at the captain closely, "What if we go to the hotel you have booked to rest for a while at night? After all, after walking so much, we will definitely feel tired."

The captain's eyes widened immediately, of course he could hear the meaning behind this seemingly normal sentence.

However, although this question gave him a huge shock, Captain Foresty didn't seem too surprised, on the contrary, there was a kind of relief of "he finally said it".

"Your Highness... do you really want to hear my opinion?" After a while, he frowned and asked in a strange manner.

"I think I know what you're going to say." Aigron smiled wryly.

"Yes, I want to say that you are too irrational." The captain sighed, "It seems that although you have an old personality, you are still a young man after all."

"Thank you for reminding me, but you should also see that I have been rational almost every day since I was a child, and I remind myself every day that I need to be rational... Yes, I have no right to be irrational." Aigron stepped forward He looked at his teacher incredulously, "But... fuck his reason! If everything is rational, what is the point of my life in this world? I don't need you to remind me, I know what to do for me Best, but I don't want any rationality in this matter, I want to do whatever I want, I want to find eternal memory with her, to commemorate a stage of life that I may never get back."

"I understand what you said. After all, everyone has been young, and we can see how His Highness treats you—but, you can't easily throw away everything we have planned for you—" The captain looked Very complicated, "Last time we talked about this issue, you should remember what I said."

"Yes, Teresa, reason tells me that she is very beneficial to me, and I don't intend to give up." Aigron replied without hesitation, "But before that, I must have a conclusion, so that I can Willingly let go."

"You mean, let go after that, right? Then do as we say?" The captain hesitated a little, "Can you guarantee it?"

"I promise, I know you are doing it for my own good." Aigron lied without blushing at all, "Captain, I also understand your embarrassment, so I don't ask you to help me, but can you turn a blind eye? That's all I asked for."

The captain did not hesitate this time, but raised his head and looked at the distant forest.

"Your Highness, as I said, I am only responsible for your safety... As for your other matters, they are the private lives of the highest-level nobles in the empire, and I am not qualified to question them."

After getting the most desired answer, Aigron nodded with a smile, "Okay, thank you."

At this moment, a court attendant walked over quickly and saluted the young man.

"Your Highness, Princess Teresa has something to give you as a gift in return."

Then, he carefully gave a bag to the young man.

"Return?" Aegron was a little surprised, but still nodded politely, and then took the bag.

He quickly opened it, and found a letter, a few pages of manuscript paper, and a small crystal bottle inside.

"Eggron, my friend:

I was so happy to receive your gift and have to admit it was exactly what I was looking for.I flipped through your creation last night, which is why I returned your gift so quickly.

Yes, I absolutely love your creations.Some people don't like tragedies because they are afraid of facing the real world, but I am different. I think tragedies have a beauty that shocks the soul.Your description of the lines and psychological changes of the characters is very appetizing to me. I think you do have the ability to create outstanding works. Maybe this time it is not, but as long as you persist, there will be one in the future.

No one thought that there would be someone like you in our family without similar talents. Because of this, I am very sorry and especially unwilling to see your talent buried between the palace walls. I hope you His talent and talent can be recognized by everyone in the future and conquer Europe in another way...and I am very, very willing to contribute to this.

Sorry... I may have exaggerated because of excitement, but what I want to say is that I deeply admire your talent and respect your efforts even more, and I sincerely wish you all the best.

Those few pages are the comments and opinions I wrote last night and morning. If you have time, you can take a look. Of course, this is just my personal opinion, and you can refer to it selectively.

I'll let you in on a secret - my father was pretty pleased with your performance when he brought you home from the event.You also know that he is very strict, so on the surface he will not say much praise in front of you, but he still quite approves of you in front of us, and I think this is the praise you deserve.

Thanks to my father, my family has a very good impression of you now, everyone is looking forward to your visit, please do not miss the appointment... I am not modest, I think the environment there is quite good, it is definitely a good place to inspire creativity You can stay here for a few more days, it's not a problem if my father is around.

In addition, there is also a bottle of rose essential oil attached to the letter, which is refined in our garden. It can effectively relieve fatigue when used for incense or bathing - please help me pass it on to the maid who serves you , tell her that I appreciate her labor and that she is doing a very rewarding job.If I have the opportunity in the future, I will also reward her heavily.

Your loyal friend Teresa. "

Aigron quickly read the letter quickly, and the tone and content were very much in line with Teresa's style. He could almost imagine her expression when she said these words in person.

"Your Highness, don't miss this opportunity!" At this moment, Captain Foresty patted him on the shoulder lightly, reminding his little master. "Although I don't know what she said, but judging from such a positive attitude, everything is self-evident, combined with the attitude of Grand Duke Karl...Your Highness, in this case, you must not miss the opportunity."

Judging from his expression, he had probably made some sort of decision.

He will tell Teresa that His Royal Highness is planning to present his play, and the captain knows she will be happy to join him.And by this time, she should indeed be closer to His Highness's life.

Maybe His Highness will blame himself or even scold him when he finds out in the future, but he has to do it.

This is something that is in the interests of His Highness and everyone around him. If His Highness is emotional and unable to judge for himself accurately, then the subject has the obligation to do the right thing for him and put him on the right track.

Of course, His Royal Highness Sophie's matter is another matter, he will not tell anyone, nor will he obstruct their highness's romantic affairs, he just hopes that His Highness will wake up from the dream as soon as possible.

After making up his mind, the captain bowed to the young man, "Your Highness, if I were you, I would end all this as soon as possible, and face tomorrow with a perfect posture."

"Okay, thank you." Aigron didn't know what the captain was thinking, but nodded very kindly, then gently refolded the letter and put it in the bag. "Perhaps it would be better to do as you say."

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness." The captain bowed again, and then took the sword from Aigron's hand, "Then let's stop here for today."

So, Aigron returned to his room with the gift he received in return.

"Your Highness, is something wrong?" Seeing Aigron's pensive look, Chanel asked quickly.

"It's nothing." Aigron came back to his senses, and then smiled.

Then, he took out the small crystal bottle from his bag and handed it to Chanel. "Come on, take this away."

"What is this...?" Looking at the slightly swaying pink-purple liquid in the crystal bottle, Chanel asked a little puzzled.

"I just received a reply from Teresa. It seems that she is very satisfied with my creation, so she is very generous." Aigron smiled, "She also specially sent you a gift, saying that she wants to reward you The hard work of helping me create... Oh, yes, she also said that she will reward you heavily when she has the opportunity in the future."

However, to his surprise, Chanel, who had calmed down, didn't seem very happy when she saw this expensive gift.

"How can I, such a tiny person, be worthy of such a precious gift? Your Highness, you should accept it yourself."

"What's the use of me using something like this?" Aigron shook his head with a smile, "Since it's been delivered, you can accept it reluctantly. I can't pass it on to others or throw it away."

"But..." Chanel still seemed a little hesitant, "Don't you think it's strange? You gave me such a gift out of nowhere. I always feel as if you are telling me something..."

"There's no need to think too badly of others, just treat her as a heart." Aigron replied with a smile, "Besides, it doesn't make any sense for you to think so much now, do you still want me to go to her to confront her about what it is? Intention? That would be too rude."

Chanel thought about it, and indeed felt the same way.

Besides, in Teresa's capacity, if she had any other opinion, she would really be too ignorant if she gave herself face in this way.

"Well, I will thank Your Highness." After she finished speaking, she picked up a ceramic plate, poured water into the plate, opened the crystal bottle, and poured a few drops of essential oil into the plate. "But... I'm not qualified to use such a valuable thing, so I might as well use it for incense..."

Then, she took the plate and put it on a shelf where the lamp was placed, and lit the candle under the lamp.

Soon, as the plate heated up, the water vapor began to dissipate rapidly, and the fragrance of flowers instantly filled the room.

Aigeron took a deep breath, and then let it out long.

"Well, it's really fragrant, and it smells refreshing. Teresa really didn't exaggerate."

"How can someone like her use something bad?" Chanel replied with a smile.

That's right, His Highness Teresa is also a noble person. Compared with her orphan, she is nothing like a cloud of mud. How can she dare to imagine the life she has experienced since she was a child?

I don't even dare to feel jealous, because I don't even have the qualifications to be compared.

Moreover, it seems that Teresa is also very concerned about His Highness.

She also had to admit that if His Highness stayed in Austria for a long time, then maybe this would be the best ending...

Fortunately, His Highness has a different ambition and must leave here.

She didn't dare to hope for more things, as long as she could stay by His Highness's side and take care of his life, but if she stayed by Teresa's side, maybe this dream would not be realized at all.

So...you must help His Highness escape, no matter what the reason is, this must be done.She secretly said to herself.

Under Chanel's gaze, Aigron walked to the window sill again and looked out the window.

"After smelling this fragrance, I feel refreshed. Chanel, let's start now."

"Okay, Your Highness." Chanel obediently sat down at the desk, picked up a pen and prepared to record His Highness's dictation.

When Aigron was about to start dictating, he suddenly thought of an important question, so he turned to look at Chanel.

"By the way, Chanel, have you ever participated in the carnival in Vienna since you came to Austria?"

Chanel was a little surprised by this question, but she answered it seriously right away.

"I have heard of it, but I have no chance to participate, and no one will invite me to play..."

"So, this time you have a chance. You can join me and His Royal Highness Sophie to participate in the theater activities, and then you stay in the theater, and I will go out with Her Highness Sophie, just wait until we come back .” Aigron casually told the other party. "We didn't need so many people to follow us then."

Chanel seemed to understand something, her expression became slightly sad, but she quickly hid this subtle change.

"Yes, Your Highness." She lowered her head and replied respectfully. "I hope you have a good time."　　

74. Watching the drama

The Ruby Theater tonight is brightly lit as usual.

Although it was the end of October and the temperature outside had dropped a lot, the theater was still sweltering with people, and the candlelight mixed with people's breathing cast a blurred light on the whole theater.

At this moment, the audience is watching the performance on the stage intently.

This is a new play, which is said to be the work of an unknown new playwright recently. The plot is also very novel, and the lines are full of emotion and very attractive.

"Now God has made me beyond redemption, who should I curse? No, I deserve all of this... I wove a fantasy dream for myself, and then indulged in this fantasy dream, I lied to myself that this is happiness, Completely ignore those hypocritical and vicious smiles and sweet words!

Yes, I can only curse my stupidity, life has left me nothing but misery and deceit, so let me blame myself!I would rather commit the sin of suicide than allow myself to return to deceit and malice... Farewell, I love and I hate, may Almighty God witness all that you have given me; farewell, I I am only glad that my soul did not stay there!Sorry, my child, I gave you the status of an unclean illegitimate child, what a sin I committed... I will pay you back with death! "

When the performance reached its climax, when the heroine wept on the stage in a monologue, complaining about everything she had experienced, some people were even so nervous that they shed tears.

In the end, she stood up with a pale face, then walked tremblingly to the edge of the lake, leaped without hesitation, and committed suicide by throwing herself into the lake.

Amid the heavy sighs of the audience, the curtain was slowly pulled up, and the performance finally came to an end.

Although the performance was over, there was a strange silence in the theater, the female audience wept silently, and the male audience remained silent for a while.

Until a moment later, sparse applause began to resound everywhere, and finally, it gathered into a violent roar, paying tribute to this wonderful performance.

The applause and cheers were transmitted to the boxes upstairs, and in an inconspicuous box on the third floor, Miss Sophia Memmingen put away the small gold-embellished telescope in her hand.

Then, she turned her head to look at the young man next to her, and smiled happily.

"Congratulations, Mr. Memmingen, you are a blockbuster!"

The young man did not answer, but stood quietly by the railing, looking at the auditorium thoughtfully.

As Princess Sophie said, the performance was quite successful and was recognized by the audience, which not only satisfied his creative vanity; more importantly, it also meant that the play could be performed many times , and then spread it out, this is his original purpose.
