The beautiful Lake Constance ushered in another spring dusk.

The sun gradually fell between the mountain peaks, and the sky was dyed yellow by the setting sun, and the color became darker and darker, as if indicating that night was about to fall.

Because the light is getting darker, the Alps in the distance look particularly majestic, as if they want to crush the sun. The reflections of the sun and the mountain peaks in the water are intertwined, swaying in the waves, like elves dancing among them.

The sky in the evening beside Lake Constance is still full of poetic beauty.

A small boat was cruising in the quiet lake. As it moved, it stirred up ripples in the calm water, making the elves in the water dance more intensely.

Aiglon was standing on the bow of the boat at this time, looking at the picturesque and spectacular dusk scenery in front of him, his heart filled with the pride of a young man.

At the moment he was boating on the lake with the Trevilles at Alice's request.

In order to keep it secret, Alice refused to be accompanied by the boatman, but rented an empty boat and let the servant who came with her take charge of it.

After two months of hiding under the barn, he was already suffocated. How could he not feel emotional when he could see such a picturesque scene today?

The pain and suffering will eventually pass, and he will eventually achieve great achievements and be worshiped by the world, letting people who have high hopes for him see that all their expectations have been lived up to.

Until that day, he will travel with the people he cherishes and enjoy the quiet time after the storm.

No matter how far away this day is, it will definitely come.

But, dear one, how is she doing now...

He suddenly recalled that the Swiss lakeside also appeared in the script he wrote.

Then he recalled everything he had done while writing the script at Schönbrunn Palace.

Those were the days when His Highness Sophie accompanied him, and that was his most precious memory so far... It was also the past that he abandoned with his own hands.

"My dear friend, do you know what you have done? You stood in front of a woman who longed for warmth, you gave her hope, and you made her smile again. In this case, how can you bear to do it again? Let her despair?"

This line suddenly came to his mind.

The memory of Sophie reciting the lines suddenly flashed before his eyes, as if she was standing in front of him at the moment, scolding him with a cry.

His heart couldn't help but feel a little dull pain.

Stop now! He took a deep breath and finally freed himself from the memories.

He hadn't heard any news about Sophie in two months. Austrian officials had not revealed a word about her. It was as if she had been temporarily erased from the world, and she never appeared in social circles or public events again.

Although he intellectually did not believe that his grandfather, His Majesty the Emperor of the Austrian Empire, would really be so angry that he would lose his mind and impose the cruelest punishment on Sophie, but the current situation really did not allow him to not worry.

He decided that once he left Switzerland, he would find a way to inquire about Sophie, at least to confirm her safety at the moment - although the stubbornness in his heart made him still refuse to reveal his name in front of Sophie before making achievements. .

"Your Majesty, what are you worried about?" At this moment, a soft question came from behind him.

Aigron interrupted his thoughts, slowly turned his head, and then found Alice standing behind him, looking at him with a smile on her face.

"Why do you ask that?" he asked.

"I just thought you looked a little sad just now." Alice whispered back. "Ever since I met you, you have always given me a sense of stability and momentum beyond my age, but just now... I finally saw the shadow of a young man, even a bit like a poet."

"Haha..." Aigron couldn't help laughing. "Are you praising me or hurting me?"

"Of course it's a compliment.

"Alice smiled lightly again, "I have seen some news about you before, and they all said that you are knowledgeable and talented, and you are determined to be a writer. "

"That's just a cover I used to paralyze the Austrians." Aigron shook his head, "Someone once asked me whether I would like to be Goethe or Napoleon, and I have already answered in my heart-I can only be a Napoleon. "

"But even so, you won't be the emperor all the time, you will have your own entertainment besides state affairs." Alice stubbornly insisted on her opinion, "For example now——you see , the scenery here is so beautiful, can you write a poem?"

Aigron didn't answer immediately.

He looked at her husband Edgar, who was at the stern of the boat, admiring the surrounding scenery, appreciating the magnificent beauty of nature, and looking for inspiration for his painting.

Ever since Edgar received the "major task" from his Majesty, he has been thinking hard for the past two days. How to implement His Majesty's ideas better and more accurately? This arduous task has cost him too much energy .

For him, this can be considered a holiday.

"Do you want me to experience the pain of Edgar racking his brains for creation?" He couldn't help but make a joke.

"Where did you think of it!" Alice couldn't help but protest with a smile, "It's his honor that you can entrust him with such an important task. This shows that you value him and recognize him, doesn't it? In fact, I am very happy! "

"Happy?" Aegron was a little puzzled.

"He is my husband, and of course I want to see him cheer up and make a difference." Alice's smile disappeared, with a little emotion on her face, "Your Majesty... To tell you the truth, I'm actually not special. I agree that he and his father did such dangerous things for the sake of wealth, and were mentally prepared to live a tight life before getting married. I never expected him to be rich...but seeing him so devoted and serious about it I can't help but feel happy with the way things are done. At least this gives me a reason to believe that it is a good thing for the Treville family to serve you."

After hearing Alice's confession, Aigron was stunned.

Looking into Alice's eyes, he believed that what she said was true from her heart.

Because of this, the feelings appear sincere and precious.

Then he remembered what Edgar had said in front of him.

"I hope I can make him worthy of you." He couldn't help blurting out with emotion.

"He is worthy of me now..." Alice smiled happily, and then she looked up at the young man again, "Let's get back to the topic, Your Majesty - I just want you to finally travel for my wedding. It’s just a memory. This trip didn’t start for me, but for you; but I hope it ends for me. I just want my wedding to be as magnificent and dreamy as I have dreamed of. ...will you bestow upon me such an honor?"

Aiglon was stunned for a moment.

Alice is really persistent. She feels that her cherished wedding trip has been tainted by political conspiracy, so she hopes to use another legendary way to restore or re-paste it.

In a sense, I did owe her such a favor, so...it wouldn't be a bad idea to satisfy her wish a little bit.

"Since you have mentioned this - then I have no choice but to agree to you." Thinking of this, Aigron shrugged. "It's just that I don't know if my creation can satisfy you."

"If you are satisfied yourself, then there is no reason for me to be dissatisfied." Alice replied immediately.

Aigron said no more, he turned his head again and looked at the sky in the distance.

Most of the sky has turned into a gray-black night sky, densely covered with stars. Only the last trace of dark yellow remains in the west - the sun is about to set, leaving only a line of gold between the mountain peaks, tenaciously moving towards It is proved that daylight still remains.

What a beautiful and majestic sight it is.

The young man was infected by this scene. He threw away all the worries in his heart and forgot that he was still a fugitive.

At this moment, he only thought that he was the king of the world.

He raised his right hand, looking like a challenger, facing the distant sky and the Creator hidden behind the sky.

“You, the elves of the mountains and lakes, the elves who live in the lake, chase the sun but are shy to escape;

You, the elves who dance gracefully in the moonlit night sky, inducing the fireflies to surround you, and accompany the solemn evening bells of the church:

I allow you to come to me and share my glory. Although you are so weak, even a few ghosts can make you weak and tremble. But I will command you, gather your glimmers of light, ignite the flames that break through the sky, cover the violent sun, burn out the howling wind, and guard this world of blue sky and clear water:

I hold heavenly fire and thunder in my hands, and use ruthless thunderbolts to crush the evil spirits who stop me; I will dry up the strait, just to open up a way to happiness for you; but what dominates me is not violent anger, but mere anger. It is tender compassion. I sweep everything away with the harsh cold wind, just to let warmth return to the world!

You, the elves who wander the earth and are afraid of having nowhere to stay, you don’t have to be afraid of being abandoned, and you don’t have to crowd around the other side of the ocean and moan miserably. Come on, when you are trapped in despair, I will bless you! "

When the last ray of sunshine disappeared from the sky, the young man quietly finished reading his poem.

Alice quietly listened to the poem read by the boy, until at the end, she laughed softly.

"It's really a poem that only His Majesty would write...it's really full of the emperor's arrogance."

Only then did Aiglon regain his senses from his passion.

Ugh, what am I doing?

He immediately regretted it a little.

People just wanted to write a poem to celebrate their wedding, but they ended up writing a poem like this... just for their own entertainment.

"Sorry, Alice..." he quickly apologized to Alice, "I can think of another one."

"No, no need, Your Majesty." Alice shook her head quickly, "The most important thing about poetry is the true feelings at that moment, and the subsequent outpouring of emotions. You have just done that, and I saw the inside of your eyes. The burning glow is enough for me. Besides, your emotions have been vented. If you continue to create, I guess you won’t be able to feel anything anymore..."

Aigron thought about it and found that Alice was indeed right. After shouting this long paragraph, he really couldn't find the poetry anymore.

"Fortunately, you are the only one listening here, otherwise I would be a little embarrassed..." Aigron smiled sheepishly, "I hope such childish words will not make you feel ridiculous."

"The same words are spoken differently by different people. No one will find your words ridiculous, Your Majesty." Alice answered him seriously.

Then, she solemnly knelt down and saluted the young man, "Your Majesty, I also wish that you will become the master of the earth and the supreme being of the world! I hope you can remember what you just said...'I sweep away everything with the fierce cold wind. , just to let warmth come to the world again!'."

"I will remember." Eggron replied with a smile.

He looked back to the front again.

It was completely dark now, and the hanging lights on the boat were on.

There is only this lone boat on the dark lake. Everything is so quiet and lonely.

It's time to go back.

"Thank you for the invitation, Alice -" Aigron thanked Alice, "I'm very happy."

"What a coincidence, I'm very happy too." Alice nodded in agreement.

Then, she suddenly spoke again, "Your Majesty, can you grant me another request?"

"Huh? What's your request again?" Aigron was a little surprised.

"Don't panic, Your Majesty, this request is trivial..." Alice smiled slyly.

Then, she gently touched her abdomen with her hand, and then continued in a gentle tone, "Although I don't have any strong reaction yet, I have a hunch that I am pregnant and will become a mother. "

Alice looked at the young man with sincere joy. "Maybe the baby will be born by the end of this year."

"Congratulations!" Aigron was stunned for a moment, and then congratulated the other party happily, "Alice, you will definitely become the best mother."

"Then I have the audacity to ask you for a name for my first child?" Alice asked with a smile.

"Of course -" Aiglon replied with the same smile, "I am happy to give him part of my name. How about calling him Charles? This is the name of my grandfather. My father gave it to me. I will It is passed on to your son, hoping that he can share in the glory of our family."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Alice was overjoyed and nodded quickly.

After a moment, she hesitated again, "What if it's a daughter?"

"If it's a daughter, let's call her Xia Lu." Aigron thought for a while and then answered.

"Okay! That's it! Your Majesty, on behalf of the child who has not yet been born, I would like to thank you for the name!" Alice, full of excitement and joy, bowed her knees and saluted Aigron, "I will definitely teach the child to continue the family tradition and continue to provide a good foundation for the family." You are loyal, and please take care of this child in the future!"

"I promised that as long as I can rule France, this child will be rich and prosperous for the rest of his life." Aiglon replied solemnly. "Please continue to be loyal to me, and I will prove that it is all worth it."
