[The protagonist stays in Austria, marries Theresa, and then lives in seclusion to become a literary giant, following the extra chapters 1, 5, 8, and 30. The main plot of Teresa was too miserable, so I decided to make some side stories to sweeten it up =. =]

April 8, 1849

The coldness and chill of winter have long gone with the melting of ice and snow, and the breath of spring has spread unimpededly to the beautiful countryside around Vienna.

At this time, dots of dandelions bloom. They are like tiny elves, floating in the wind, floating to farmland and grassland, to both sides of the country road full of cattle and sheep hooves, and even in the village. A little bit of golden color is generously sprinkled on the base of the wall or the gaps in the steps that are covered with green moss.

In this season of revival, everything is full of vitality, making people full of hope for the future.

Taking advantage of the warmth of the day, in the manor under the name of Duke Lechstadt, servants, tenant farmers and gardeners were all busy with their work. Although there were people walking around from time to time, they did not make any noise. The sound exudes an orderly atmosphere.

The manor house is not overly luxurious, but it is beautifully constructed. Against the backdrop of the red roof, the tall chimney stands like a church bell tower under the sky, guarding the land and its owners at its feet.

The house has been kept very clean. Although the owner and his wife have lived here for almost 20 years, there is still no sign of aging and decay. It is still as stylish and comfortable as before, and it has a warmth that is extremely rare to find in the homes of nobles and nobles. .

In addition to the houses, whether it is the lawns or forests in the manor, or the flowerbeds blooming with flowers such as rhododendrons and roses, or the pond and the pavilion next to it, and even the boats in the pond, they all seem to reveal a sense of care and attention. The sense of cleanliness and care, quietly waiting in place in the warm spring breeze.

Everything here can see the sense of "well-kept" harmony. Only by treating this place as your favorite home can it be possible to take good care of it - and all of this is the mistress of the manor. Her Royal Highness Princess Theresa is personally responsible.

In fact, the couple does not need to care so much about where they live. As members of the royal family, they have countless resources that can be used to ensure a comfortable life for the couple. However, because of the love in her heart, the wife is willing to work as a housekeeper. work, in order to create a small world for the couple that only belongs to the couple.

Since the Duke and Teresa got married, Archduke Karl, as his father-in-law, has fulfilled his promise. Not only did he pay a large sum of money and jewelry as a dowry to the couple, he also specially designated a large area of ​​his large estate. A piece of land is provided for the couple to live here, so that they can live here with peace of mind and experience the beauty of life. It is best to have a large family with a large number of people.

Now, 22 years have passed. Although my old father-in-law passed away unfortunately a few years ago, all his original wishes have come true one by one.

The Duke and Duchess of Lechstadt happily opened the next chapter of their lives together here. They experienced the best life as a couple here, almost never had a quarrel, and they also successfully had several children, which made them happy. The thin Bonaparte family is re-opening... Everything is so beautiful, just like the realization of the old-fashioned ending in the fairy tale "the prince and the princess live happily together". ….

Although dissatisfied supporters of the Bonaparte family have been cursing this place as a "tender cage" for more than 20 years and cursing the Habsburg family for turning the heirs of Emperor Napoleon into docile house pets, at least It carries the happiest memory of a family and almost satisfies all the beautiful imaginations of the once cynical and destitute prince about life.

...that's how it should be.

Isn't that what it was originally like?

Looking at the beautiful green scenery outside the window, the male owner of the manor, Duke Lechstadt, who was nearly forty years old, asked himself.

At this moment, he was wearing a long gown made of wool. Although he was no longer young, his slender and straight body and handsome face were still charming. But at this moment, this gentle and handsome face had a sullen aura.

There is a cup of steaming coffee on the desk, but it has slowly cooled down because the male owner was uneasy; and next to the coffee cup there are a lot of pieces of paper that are full of words but have been crossed out or even crumpled into a ball. It further revealed the Duke's depressed mood at the moment.

After 20 years of hard work since his marriage, he has now become a literary giant well-known throughout Europe. In addition to his really good writing skills, his special identity has aroused the curiosity of readers and served as the basis for his works. "Combustion accelerant".

In addition, due to his special conditions as a royal family, he has more "life experience" that can be turned into material for his works. There are not only eloquent narratives, but also a large number of first-hand information close to history, as well as a cold and grim attitude. Because of his sharp writing style, he gradually developed a very unique style, so much so that he was considered one of the best writers of the entire era, which attracted many readers to become die-hard fans.

These die-hard fans include many writers and poets who are "fellow colleagues". Some of them even use their identities to write letters to the Duke, and the Duke will also take the time to reply to them in his spare time to discuss the matter. Literary skills and respective life experiences can be regarded as one of his few social activities.

However, today, he had no intention of writing or writing letters. He sat in his study boredly, looking out the window boredly from time to time.

To be precise, he has been like this during this period. Just over a month ago, the couple had just returned from France, and they were both in a mood because their eldest son Francois insisted on staying in France and "creating a big career." Quite heavy.

However, in addition to being as worried about his son's safety as Teresa, the Duke also lurked an unspeakable loss in his heart.

As the son said when questioning, all this should have been what the father should have done.

But just 22 years ago, he chose to abandon it.

Now, of course, he will no longer regret his original decision like a clown. Besides, these 20 years of good life have indeed fulfilled all his expectations for family and family. He has no reason to regret it.

However, in the dead of night, when a person is alone, there always seems to be a voice reminding him of what you have abandoned.

And he could only face it.

While the Duke was deep in thought, there was a gentle knock at the door. ….

The familiarity and tacit understanding developed after more than twenty years of marriage allowed him to recognize who was coming from the rhythm of the knock on the door.

"Teresa, come in." He spoke immediately.

So the lady opened the door gently and walked in.

She first came to the messy desk, neatly and carefully packed up the scratch papers for her husband, and put the pages she found useful on the bookshelf in categories. At the same time, she looked at her husband affectionately, and then He smiled and asked, "Your Highness, you have been back for so long, why are you still so unhappy today?"

Although some wrinkles inevitably appeared in the corners of Princess Teresa's eyes due to her age, due to proper maintenance and a sweet and happy life (which is more important), her skin is still moist and radiant, and her skin is still as moist and radiant as possible. She has retained her former beauty, the dignified and mature beauty that has been accumulated by the years, which seems to be no less than that of girls who are full of youthful atmosphere.

But at this moment, her still smart eyes only reflected her husband.

Faced with his wife's question, the Duke smiled bitterly. "Oh, I don't know why. I just can't calm down. I can't write a word while sitting here - maybe my inspiration has been exhausted recently."

Of course, the wife was well aware of her husband's mood at the moment, and she was also troubled and worried about it in her heart. However, the more this happened, the less she showed any signs of discomfort, but looked at her husband considerately.

"This is something that happens all the time. There will always be times when you don't have enough inspiration for writing. Just relax and things will get better. If it doesn't work, just stop writing and then write again when you have some inspiration -" she comforted the Duke.

"But apart from writing and writing, what else can I do now?" The Duke asked with a wry smile, "Although we have no worries about food and clothing, in order to prevent myself from getting moldy, I must do something meaningful-"

Although the Duke's tone was calm, Teresa felt a little hurt when she heard it. She knew that her husband had given up too much in order to stay with her forever. Writing was the only meaning of life he had found for himself, and she had been doing her best to cooperate with her husband's writing life and personally create a new life for him. She managed the family property to create the most comfortable living environment, personally sorted out the manuscripts for him, proofread and revised them, and even negotiated cooperation with booksellers for publishing and translation work.

In general, in addition to being his wife, she was also the Duke's housekeeper, secretary and even nanny, and was involved in almost every aspect of his life in every detail.

But she was happy with this kind of "tiredness", because it meant that she was the most indispensable person for her beloved Highness, and the only one.

Sacrifice for each other, stick to the marriage for 20 years, and continue to stick to it for decades to come. This is the happiness she has longed for most from the beginning.

In order to protect this happiness, she will do anything.

Because of this, she felt so uncomfortable when she saw her husband so depressed. She desperately wanted to do something to make her husband feel better and get their originally peaceful life back on track. ….

"Your Highness, do you remember what we said last time? I have applied to the government and a special permit will be issued to us soon. We can freely travel to the capital of any country... If you want, we will do it now You can prepare your bags and go to Rome, London, or even India...anywhere!"

This good news actually cheered up the Duke's spirits a little.

Although Austrian officials were strictly guarded against him at first, as time went by, the older generation retreated, and their guard against him gradually relaxed. Moreover, the Duke has been proven to have no political ambitions in the past 20 years—— In addition, the Bonaparte family has risen again relying on the leadership of Louis Bonaparte and others, so it is no longer necessary to restrict the Duke.

Therefore, at Princess Theresa's strong request, the Duke was finally free to go anywhere he wanted like a free man.

And he has enough money to travel anywhere.

"Anywhere?" asked the Duke.

"Anywhere!" Teresa nodded firmly.

Then, she took her husband's hand and said, "Just take me with you... Of course, this is not an official restriction, but my personal request. If you are not by your side, it will be a long time for me." How terrible!”

"Of course I have to take you with me. Without you, I don't know how to live alone. Who will take care of me?" Aigron seemed to complain, but in fact he replied sweetly, "And, with only you by my side, The journey is meaningful.”

Faced with her husband's affectionate words, Teresa was even more delighted, and a girlish look appeared on her face.

"Then let's go! I hope this makes you feel better!"

"That being said, I really haven't thought about where to go..." Aigron sighed, "Maybe, for me, nowhere is as good as here. Even the palace in France doesn't have the same experience as you. The feeling of companionship.”

The Duke was not simply trying to please his wife, because when he visited France before, he received the warmest reception from his cousin. He had already experienced that the grand but cold palace did not have the warmth of his wife nestled next to him at the moment.

This is everything he has tasted in the past, and this is everything he will continue to stick to in the future.

"In that case, why don't we take a walk around our own home first... It's strange that people don't feel depressed when they stay in a small room all the time!" Because of the praise from her husband, UU read a book wwwｗ. uukanshu.ｎnet So Teresa now looks radiant and energetic.

She took Aigron's hand and said, "Your Highness, let's go boating and fishing! It's been a long time since we've done this..."

The Duke knew that his wife was trying to cheer him up.

And he really wants to relive the warm feeling of the past, which will cure his inner worries.

So, he took his wife to the pond, and then, just like the two of them had done many years ago, they went boating by themselves and brought Teresa to the lake with him.

fishing? No, who cares about that…

The couple looked at each other affectionately, with shadows of the past in their eyes.

"Although you are almost 40 years old and still saying such things, it really makes people a little embarrassed, but... Your Highness, I still want to say, I love you." Teresa looked at herself deeply with a slightly shy look. Dear husband, "For me, no queen or queen mother is as important as the time we spend alone together. This is enough, completely enough."

After saying that, she hugged her husband directly. She liked it so much. It was quiet and remote. Nothing would disturb them. It had been like this for 20 years and it would be like this in the future... This was what she silently guarded. Heaven.

The same is true for the husband.

After the kiss, he slowly became more interested and looked at his wife with a smirk.

"Teresa, although we are old, we are not moldy yet. We still have time to have another baby - it's better to have a youngest daughter this time, right? Just think of it as finding something to do for us in the future - watching a baby with your own eyes A child as beautiful as you grew up..."

"Okay... let's wait until night." The voice that answered him was a submissive one with hidden feelings of love.
