Eagle's Glory

"Fool, you don't really think you're in a fairy tale world..." Sophie couldn't help sniggering.

"The world with Cinderella must be a fairy tale world." Aegron turned his head and said to Princess Sophie with a smile, "So it's probably just because midnight didn't arrive."

Seeing the young man's smile, Sophie froze for a moment, then tapped his head lightly, "Okay! I know how to say these crazy words."

While chatting and laughing, they got into the carriage, and then in the night, the carriage drove into the city of Vienna.

At this time, Vienna seemed to have changed into a different city. There were bright lights everywhere and crowds of people. Some people even wore strange costumes and masks like the two people in the carriage.

Just looking at the street is already full of carnival atmosphere.

The carriage drove forward in the crowded streets, and finally came to the Ruby Theater where they often go.

Today's theater is equally crowded, the auditorium has been temporarily removed, and a large empty space has been cleared, while the stage has been expanded into a huge dance floor, people in various costumes are on it, and all the windows have been lit Stained glass lamps, the entire space is colorful and dazzling, making people almost forget what world they are in.

When they came to the theater, their old acquaintance - the theater manager also ran over immediately.

"Mr. Memmingen, Miss Memmingen, your outfits are really unique tonight." He greeted with a smile.

"Good evening, sir." Sophie greeted him too.

"It's a great honor for both of you to take the time to join our ball, please enjoy tonight." The manager said very politely, "If you see a dance partner, just let us know, I will find a way .”

Since Aigron's script was released here and received enthusiastic response, the status of the two of them here has been greatly improved. Not only are they regarded as rich and rich, but they also vaguely become objects that need to be wooed , so they also enjoyed the rare VIP treatment.

"No need, sir, you can go about your business, we are our respective dance partners." Sophie shook her head and rejected the manager's proposal.

After she finished speaking, she was no longer polite, took the hand of the young man next to her, and led him into the wide field.

Are they really siblings?Looking at the backs of the two of them, the manager had doubts in his heart again - he had done this many times.

However, as before, he quickly dismissed the idea, this is not a problem he needs to delve into.

Sophie took Aigron and walked into the center of the venue together, and the place was already full of people, leaving only a small gap.

She stopped in her tracks and looked around at the people in strange clothes and the strange lights, experiencing this noisy, messy, weird and novel feeling.

"So this is the atmosphere of the carnival..." It was the first time for Sophie to participate in this kind of event, so she was a little confused, "It's really interesting."

"Have you regretted not joining sooner?" Eggron asked with a smile.

"No, this place is meaningful only when you are here..." Sophie suddenly turned her head and looked at Aigron affectionately, "So, let's dance together here."

It can be seen that Princess Sophie is in a very happy mood now, which is why she said such direct words.

Of course Aigron would have no other opinion.

"I'm very happy." He stretched out his hand, and took Her Royal Highness's hand.

Amidst the melodious and frivolous waltz music, the two held hands like this and danced lightly under the lights.

Although they were among a large group of people, they were not affected at all, but danced like no one else was there.

Because of the fake masks on their faces, they couldn't see each other's faces clearly, and could only use their eyes to communicate with each other, but it was strange to say, but this added a bit of fun to them.

Their eyes never left each other, they shuttled through the crowd like butterflies wearing flowers, dancing tirelessly, experiencing the fun of being undisturbed and unattended, and they have some dangerous feelings for each other Brewing in it.

After an unknown amount of time, the two finally stopped.

Sophie was obviously exhausted, and at the same time, due to the exhaustion of her physical strength, she began to feel that the air here was a bit turbid and unbearable, and she began to feel uncomfortable.

"Are you alright?" Aegron asked concerned.

"No... I'm fine." Sophie's face was a little pale, but she still shook her head, "Just let me take a rest."

"I'll take you there to rest." Aigron grabbed her waist, and then helped her out of the dancing crowd to the edge of the dance floor.

He asked for a glass of wine from the waiter, and then handed it to Sophie, who drank it in one gulp, and then her face became rosy again.

"Okay...I'm much more comfortable." She readjusted her breathing, and then smiled at Aigron, "Frantz, I'm very happy, I'm really happy...you let me enjoy a very wonderful night."

"The night is not over yet," Aegron replied with a smile.

"Yes, it's not over yet, I even hope it's never over." Sophie looked at him with a smile on her face, "Okay, let me rest for a while, and then we'll go out and have a look, the air here is starting to feel a little It's hard."

She sat and rested for a while, and then cheered up again, "Okay, let's go!"

"Okay, Sophia." Aegron stretched out his hand again, allowing Sophie to hold his hand.

Then, he took Sophie and quietly walked out of the still noisy theater.

Seeing the two Highnesses walking out, the people who came with them also immediately followed.

Only one person was left here.

It's not that Chanel doesn't want to leave with the two Highnesses, but she was ordered before, so she can only stay here and enjoy the "free" night that she never expected.

Although she was dressed in a fancy dress, she was not happy at all.

Standing on the railing on the second floor, she looked down at the crowd of dancers below, but she felt as if she was in a desert.

Her heart was full of frustration, and no one came to order her, so no one needed her, and no one seemed to care what she wanted to do.

What she fears most is returning to the hopeless life of the past.

Your Highness...will you abandon yourself one day?

This terrible thought lingered in her mind.

Breathing the stuffy air, she just felt a little dizzy.

"Miss, do you want to dance together?" A greeting came from the side suddenly.

"No, no, I don't want to dance." Chanel refused without even thinking about it, without even looking at each other.

She just wanted to rest, quickly get through this uncomfortable moment, and then return to His Highness's side, to get rid of the suffocating fear of losing everything again.

"Miss, you don't look very happy? Why don't you dance with me?" The voice next to him sounded again, as if he was still stubbornly wanting to invite her, "I think I can make you feel better got up."

"Didn't I say that I don't want to dance?!" Chanel couldn't bear it anymore, raised her head angrily and scolded the other party, "Stop pestering me! Find someone else!"

While scolding, she looked at each other.

He is about the same size as His Highness, and like most people here, he is wearing a retro costume, a three-cornered hat on his head, and a mask on his face, so he can't see his face clearly—of course, she also Don't care what the other person looks like.

But judging from his voice, he must be young, about 20 years old.

"You are really strange, but you are not willing to dance when you come to this place." The other party was not irritated by Chanel's attitude, but still looked at Chanel calmly, "In that case, what's the point of you coming here? "

"Do I need you to take care of what I'm here for? You just take care of your own affairs!" Chanel frowned, "Okay, sir, change your clumsy flirting techniques to another person." Come on, don't waste time with me, you have plenty of prey here tonight."

The young man on the opposite side didn't answer this time, but just looked at her quietly, as if waiting for something.

Chanel's mind cleared up a little, and then she seemed to feel something was wrong.

Then, she quickly realized what was wrong——

The other party has been speaking French to himself.

She opened her eyes slightly.

"Good evening, Miss." The young man opposite bowed to her, "Is it an honor for me to know your name?"

Before Chanel could answer, he gently took off his mask.　　

85. Loyalty

Chanel quietly looked at the young man in front of her. Although the surroundings were still so noisy, she didn't notice it.

This young man has a handsome face, and his posture is quite unrestrained. He has a well-thought-out calmness in his gestures, and he is indeed quite charming.

But that's not important - what's really important is that his face is quite similar to her master's.

In just a moment, she recalled what the master had told her.

Finally... is it finally here...?

With unparalleled excitement, the blood rushed straight into Chanel's brain, making her almost breathless. She stared blankly at the young man opposite, and didn't know how to speak for a while.

really?What if something goes wrong?

All kinds of thoughts flooded her, making her mouth dry.

The young man stood motionless in place, letting the young girl across from him look at him. If someone who had nothing to do with him looked at him, he would think they fell in love at first sight.

However, this kind of thing is very common in masquerade balls at carnivals, and no one cares or finds it strange at all, and no one is bored to disturb young men and women.

After an unknown amount of time, Chanel finally regained consciousness a little bit.

She managed to gather herself together, then leaned her head forward a little, and asked in French, "Excuse me, which Highness are you?"

When she asked this question, the young man couldn't help but smile, because it meant that his gamble was also successful - the girl opposite was indeed very powerful.

"Louis." He replied in a low voice, as if reciting a spell, and said a few names, "Napoleon-Louis-Bonaparte."

Sure enough it is!

Chanel managed to keep herself normal and jumped up without excitement.

Your Highness, you are waiting for your cousin!

A true Bonapartist, of course she knew what the name meant.

This is the son of Napoleon's third brother Louis, who is also her master and Aigron's cousin, and is one of the closest relatives of His Royal Highness.

And his arrival means that the supporters of the empire, especially the former royal family of the empire, have not given up their past glory and titles, and finally came to look for His Highness.

And I... I am His Highness' guide...

Chanel knew that the brightest moment in her life was coming.

"Your Highness..." She regained her composure for a while, then bowed to the young man opposite her.

"Don't do that." The young man on the opposite side suddenly took a step forward, and then grabbed her hand to prevent her from saluting.

Then, he put on the mask calmly, and said to Chanel with a smile, "Miss, let's dance together? Otherwise, it would be too eye-catching."

"Okay." Chanel came back to her senses and nodded immediately.

So, the two walked to the corner of the venue holding hands like this, and then started dancing like no one else was there.

Chanel's dance steps were very rusty due to the rare opportunity to dance, but the young man patiently guided her steps, making them as smooth and natural as possible, looking no different from young men and women enjoying a carnival masquerade.

But of course he knew what was his main purpose.

After making sure that no one around him noticed him, the young man continued to dance while looking at Chanel, "Miss, can I know your name now?"

"I am not a lady, Your Highness." Chanel replied in a low voice, "My name is Chanel, and I am just a maid, but I am honored to serve Your Highness."

The young man was a little surprised at first, but soon laughed again, "It's okay, I'm not a highness anymore, I'm just a commoner, no different from you."

Then, he asked again, "So, my guess is correct, the new drama shown here is indeed created by my poor cousin?"

"Yes." Chanel nodded, "And it was deliberately created by His Highness, just to lure you over... He pinned his hope of escaping from Austria on you."

The young man was really shocked now, he stopped suddenly, and smiled wryly after a while.

"It seems that my cousin is much smarter than I thought."

"You shouldn't call him that. He is now the patriarch of the Bonaparte family and the emperor of the empire." Chanel corrected him earnestly.

Chanel's position is extremely fanatical, so she believes that since she is a Bonapartist, she has the obligation to respect the orthodox heir of Emperor Napoleon, even members of the royal family.

"It seems that he has a loyal subordinate." The young man froze for a moment, then shrugged, "Well, I pay my highest respect to the future His Majesty Napoleon II!"

Although his tone is humorous, Chanel can also hear that he is really yearning for it.

That's right, if he doesn't want the restoration of the empire, why should he come here to find himself...

"Your Highness, I also pay tribute to you... Thank you for coming to rescue our leader and monarch at the most difficult time." She looked at him with excitement, "God will definitely reward you!"

"It's better not to bother God, your master can repay me." The young man continued to answer with a smile. "So, tell me, where is our Majesty now?"

"Your Majesty is currently participating in an event and is not free for the time being. Moreover, there are people around him who are always watching, so it is impossible to meet strangers suddenly." Chanel hesitated and then replied, "However, I will tell him later that he has been The relatives I look forward to have come to look for him, I think he will be very happy, and then we will find a way to facilitate your meeting with him."

Chanel's answer was not only because Aigron was out with Sophie and she couldn't get in touch, but also because she remembered the warning her master had given her before.

Aigron told her that all members of his family were ambitious, and he couldn't entrust all the trust even among relatives, but had to cooperate because of the temporary alignment of interests. Although she didn't understand the meaning, but But I remembered these words.

Thinking of this, Chanel decided not to rush to promise anything, but to tell His Highness the news, and let him decide how to deal with it.

Even if Aigron needs the help of his cousin very much, or because he needs the help of his cousin, he should control the rhythm and take the initiative.

Anyway, as long as people come, then everything will be easy to handle.

"Is that so..." The young man was obviously a little disappointed, but he quickly regained his composure. "Okay, it's okay, you tell him, and then we'll get in touch and meet again at a more suitable time."

Then, he looked around again, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual, he leaned close to Chanel's ear again.
