"Your Highness, see you at Christmas, you must remember!"

Looking at Teresa's back as she ran away quickly, Aigron felt a little happy while being funny.

But even in moments of joy, deep in his heart, there was still a voice reminding himself that all this was nothing.

Teresa is indeed lovely, but for her to give up all the plots so far?

He couldn't and didn't want to.

So... I'm sorry, Teresa, the trick of fate made me have to leave too many things behind, it's your right to blame me however you want, but I have to do what I have to do.

He just stood there, watching Teresa get into the carriage and leave.

The hickey on his face was cold because of the cold wind blowing over it, with a strange touch. He picked up a handkerchief and wiped it clean, then walked to the carriage waiting for him in the distance.

When he returned to Schönbrunn Palace, it was already evening. He returned to his residence without anyone else, and found that his guardian, Count Dietrichstein, was waiting for him.

He stared at the earl habitually, and found that the count was very dignified, even a little out of control, and his eyes were quite distracted.

All along, his guardian has been quite gracious, never showing his emotions easily - he also taught and demanded his students in the same way, so it was the first time Aigron saw him so devastated.

The count's expression surprised Aigron, did some disaster happen?

"Sir, did something bad happen?" He forced himself to calm down, and then asked the other party.

The earl's eyes finally began to focus, and then looked at the young man with sad eyes.

"What I want to report to you is indeed bad news, but it's not about you, it's about me, Your Highness." Then, suppressing his grief, he replied in a calm but trembling voice, "My mother passed away early yesterday morning."

Aigron was a little shocked at first, then calmed down, looking at the other party with mourning and sympathy.

"I'm sorry, sir."

He was not acting, but he really felt very sorry—after all, he had been with the earl who acted as guardian for so many years, and of course there were feelings between each other besides utilitarian calculations.

"Actually, this is not unexpected news to me. She has been ill for the past two years. I already have a premonition in my heart." The earl sighed, "But there are some things, even if I have a premonition in my heart, once I face When it's right, it's still overwhelming ... It makes my heart ache to think that I'll never be able to be with my mother again."

Seeing the count's sad appearance, Aigron didn't know what to say.

"I'm sorry." He could only repeat.

"Your Highness, you don't need to be sad for me. At my mother's age, it is not a pity for her to leave this world. At least she passed away peacefully while surrounded by her children and grandchildren. This is already the happiness that many people can only dream of." The earl resumed After calming down, he looked at Aigron, "In comparison, you are more worthy of sympathy and pity. You were only ten years old when you lost your father. I really don't know how strong you survived. You lost My father also lost the empire, but you accepted all this with admirable calmness and indifference, you did not give up on yourself, but studied hard... From then on, I knew that you would definitely achieve something."

No, it's just that I didn't treat him as a father at all... Eggron replied in his heart.

But of course he wouldn't say that.

"I was just too young at that time, and I didn't know what I lost." He smiled helplessly, "When I grow up, I understand everything, but it's too late to say anything at that time, so I You just have to face reality.”

"Yeah, face it... each of us should face it.

The count nodded lightly, and agreed with the young man, "The reality is, my mother died of old age, and I myself have entered the twilight years. It is impossible for me to achieve higher achievements in this life... and you It's different, you are still too young, younger than my children, and although you have lost the empire, you still have conditions that most people cannot match. As long as you make good use of it, then you can have a glorious future and achieve other things. An achievement that no one dares to imagine. "

"I hope I don't disappoint your expectations." Aigron nodded.

"So did you get along well with Her Highness Teresa today?" the count asked again. "The great musician didn't say anything outrageous?"

"It went well." Eggron replied, "Mr. Beethoven and Teresa hit it off, so they chatted very speculatively. Generally speaking, it was a very pleasant visit. Teresa also ordered an order from this musician. a piece of music..."

Then, he briefly told the count the whole story of his meeting with Teresa today - of course, he skipped the part when the two said goodbye at the end.

"His Royal Highness Teresa is really sensible, and she didn't do anything to embarrass you... It seems that she also knows that she should recognize the reality." The count smiled gratifiedly, "It seems that she rejected you at first The little girl is just angry."

Then, his spirit visibly cheered up, "Your Highness, your success is in sight! As long as you put in a little more effort, you can become the son-in-law of Grand Duke Karl. I hereby congratulate you! Please don't hesitate any longer. Now, let's settle things down."

He acted quite excited, a change from his usual calm style—maybe he wanted to divert his attention to distract himself from the grief in his heart.

"I will work hard for this." Under the current circumstances, Aigron could only verbally agree.

However, the count didn't intend to stop the conversation so easily, he stood up abruptly, and then paced back and forth in the room.

"Your Highness, maybe my life is coming to an end. If I look back now, the only achievement I can be proud of is you—I am honored to be named your guardian by His Majesty the Emperor. I have taught you and nurtured you. Success is in a sense my success.

I'm glad you didn't let me down for the time and energy I spent. You've mastered a lot of knowledge that surprised me, and you've also cultivated the calmness of dealing with things. Then the rest is to hold your breath and fight for it... And the time left for me may not be too much, so I eagerly hope that I can help you avoid detours and make steady progress, so that my life can have a successful ending. "

"What do you mean?" Eggron asked, feeling a little strange.

"I know what you are hesitating about, as well as the things between you and Your Highness Sophie—" when the earl said this, he felt that something was wrong, so he stopped, "I don't want to comment on your private life, but please You want to understand that it is time to end the matter now, Grand Duke Karl will not want a lady's little lover as a son-in-law, before all this becomes an obstacle, everyone settles everything decently, and then you are free and easy Just chase your future."

"Okay, sir, you are a little emotional now, let's discuss it later." Aigron waved his hand, signaling the earl to stop talking, "I think with your current state of mind, it's best to take a rest first."

"Your Highness, I'm sober now, and I'm speaking from your standpoint." The count refused to budge, "If you can't stand it, or can't bear it, then I can solve it on your behalf. I I think that His Highness will understand you, she knows what is best for you."

"I said, stop!" Aigron interrupted impatiently, looking at him with some annoyance, "How dare you threaten me? I will listen to your advice on my matters, because I respect you experience, but I can only make the decision! I don’t need you to act on my behalf... I understand your current mood, but now, please sit down for me!”

Under Aigron's scolding, the earl's originally excited mood suddenly cooled down as if a basin of cold water had been poured on it.

He fell down on the sofa and looked at the young man blankly.

"Your Highness... I'm sorry, I may be a little... a little out of my mind." After a while, he finally calmed down and apologized to Aigron.

"It's nothing, we all lose our minds sometimes." Aigron shook his head, expressing that he didn't care.

Then he asked, "Can I attend your mother's funeral?"

"Of course, it is the greatest honor for our family to have you here." The earl bowed to Aigron to express his gratitude, "In addition, for the sake of my taking care of you for many years, Grand Duke Karl will also be present—Your Highness, look, this Isn't everything going smoothly?"

As a prince, it is indeed a rare honor to set aside time to attend the funeral of the Earl, an unknown family. No wonder the Earl is so grateful to Dade.

Grand Duke Karl has given his side enough face.

"I will accompany you to bid farewell to your mother with great grief, sir. I hope you can get out of the grief as soon as possible."

Aegron thought for a moment, then spoke again. "Besides, how are you going to arrange the funeral?"

"Originally, I planned to keep everything simple and only need family members to attend. But since Grand Duke Karl and you will both be here, I will try to be as grand as possible. You and Grand Duke Karl will be the hosts of the funeral."

After a pause, he added, "Don't worry, this is just in name. It doesn't mean that you and the Grand Duke are in charge of handling all the affairs. It's just that you and him will deliver the speech instead of the pastor."

The Earl's arrangement was not only for his mother's grand burial, but also for the Grand Duke Karl and the young man to appear in public together in the image of his son-in-law, so as to constantly strengthen the impression of their marriage among the outside world.

As long as we keep sending similar messages to the outside world, the Austrians will eventually slowly accept the reality—His Royal Highness will also slowly admit the reality.

"Okay, I understand." Aigron nodded, indicating that he accepted the earl's arrangement, "Please allow me to say it again, I am very sorry, please forgive me."

"Thank you for your comfort, Your Highness." The count smiled wryly, then stood up and bid farewell, "Okay, I won't disturb you anymore, goodbye, Your Highness."

"Goodbye, sir." Aigron also rose to bid him farewell.

In order to take care of the Earl's mood, Aigron sent him out of the palace, and waved goodbye until he reached the fountain.

Your Highness... You still need someone to give you a push after all——watching the young man leave, the count thought to himself.

================================================

After sending off his guardian, Aigron returned to his room again.

However, his previous joy has been diluted a lot by the bad news brought by the Earl.

After all, after getting along for so many years, it is impossible not to feel sorry for it.

However, there were other things that worried him even more.

After thinking for a while, he called Chanel over.

"Your Highness, do you have any orders?" Chanel asked curiously.

"The next time you go to the theater, find a way to tell my cousin that I will attend the funeral of my teacher Count Dietrichstein." It's written in the obituary, he just pays more attention to the newspaper."

"Okay, Your Highness." Chanel nodded slightly.

But at this time she seemed a little hesitant, "However, it is a funeral after all..."

"It's a good opportunity because it's a funeral." Aigron replied impatiently, "The count plans to hold a big funeral, so he will definitely accept condolences from all walks of life. At that time, my cousin will be among the mourners, and no one will be able to It is clear who he is, and of course no one will care who he is, and no one will be surprised when I greet the mourner and mourners."

"It makes sense for you to say that." Chanel thought for a while, then nodded, "Okay, I will tell that His Highness."

"You will definitely feel that this is a bit unreasonable." Aigron smiled wryly, "Yes, it is indeed a bit unreasonable, but we are not talking about human feelings now, and I have to do some things that are sorry for others."

After a pause, he added in a low voice, "What's entangled with me now is a knot. The people around me have poured too much emotion into me, and they've placed too much bet. My success may be based on my success... so they won't easily allow me to act out of their plans, they will try their best to tame me—"

"What do you mean?" Chanel asked quickly, "Will they be against you?"

"No, it's not against me. On the contrary, they think it's for my own good." Aigron smiled wryly, "This matter is going crazy, and while everything can be saved, I hope to be freed as soon as possible—I want to Get away before the marriage, so that everyone can go down the stairs, if the marriage does come true, and then I run away, then Teresa... God, she will be a laughingstock in the social world ... She shouldn't have to bear such a price!

If I don't care about Teresa, that's fine, but I don't think I can entrap her to such an extent, so..."

Aigron looked at Chanel.

"I understand, Your Highness!" Chanel nodded emphatically.

For some reason, she was also full of energy.
