Eagle’s Glory

As a carriage slowly entered the manor, the warmth and tranquility of the manor was temporarily broken.

Her Royal Highness Sophie came to visit at the invitation of Grand Duke Karl.

Although the Grand Duke knew about the dispute between his daughter and Sophie, it has been a long time since Teresa married His Royal Highness, so in his opinion, what happened back then is just passing by, and it is not worth paying attention to at all.

Because of this, it is impossible for him to hold grudges against Sophie, but instead he has a little pity for her current situation.

Although they definitely didn't think that Sophie's current situation was due to her daughter, but it didn't hurt to give this woman the necessary respect and help within their ability.

Last time, Sophie visited the couple, and she begged Sophie to bring Teresa a "gift" while crying. Sophie fulfilled her wish and sent the gift she wanted to give to His Highness.

After that, the Grand Duke and Sophie never had any contact. He originally thought that everything would be a thing of the past, but he didn't expect that after his daughter returned home, she said that she wanted to see her again that day.

Grand Duke Karl disapproved of this, but since it was his daughter's wish, he had no choice but to do it.

In this way, when His Royal Highness Sophie came to the manor, the Grand Duke's family, including Teresa, went out to greet the prince and concubine with the greatest respect.

Under their watchful eyes, Her Royal Highness Sophie got off the carriage, and then walked in front of the Grand Duke and his wife.

"Your Highness, you are welcome." No matter what thoughts he had in mind, the Grand Duke did his best to save face and greeted the other party very politely.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Your Highness." Sophie also bowed respectfully to the Grand Duke. "I hope I haven't disturbed your family's festive spirit."

"How is this possible?" The Grand Duke shook his head, "You have always been respected by our family, and my daughter Teresa has also been taken care of by you and regards you as a friend. As the festival approaches, Seeing you only makes us happier..."

Although on the surface the two of them were just having necessary and boring conversations, Grand Duke Karl took the opportunity to hint at each other that she was invited here as Teresa's friend, and I hope she will not cause trouble to save everyone's face Embarrassed.

Of course Sophie could hear what the Grand Duke meant,

She just smiled lightly, "Of course, of course, I have always regarded Her Highness Teresa as my friend. I was surprised and delighted to hear that she had quietly returned to the country... Hey, how enviable! I have already I have been away from my hometown for too long, and I have not even attended the funeral of my father. Every time I think about it, my heart is full of regrets. Now I see Teresa can go home to visit relatives and enjoy family happiness after she gets married. I couldn’t help but be really happy for her.”

Of course, Grand Duke Karl will not fully believe these words, but judging from the attitude of the other party, she does not seem to be aggressive, nor is she here to spoil the scenery, then this is enough, treat her as a distinguished guest Fan and send it away.

"Teresa's willful behavior has always caused you so much trouble? What is there to envy, I just ask her to be more sensible in the future, and let me live a few more years." The Grand Duke replied calmly, then turned sideways, and made a gesture. A posture to invite in.

While the two of them were talking, Teresa, who was standing in the back row, had been watching Sophie, observing her every move and the slightest change in expression. Like her father, she was also secretly amazed at Sophie's current demeanor.

Before leaving Austria, she took the opportunity of entering the palace to see Sophie once. At that time, Sophie could not hide her anger, anxiety and despair, and she sneered at her.

She wasn't angry, because she already knew that this would be the result. Sophie was always arrogant and arrogant like this, not to mention how could she give herself a good face at that time?

It's just that I didn't expect that after seeing her for more than a year, the gloomy despair lingering on her body seemed to be swept away, and she became that graceful lady again—although she was still a little thinner than before, But because of this, the eyebrows and eyes are a little more charming, which makes me even more pitiful.

It seems that time can heal all pain after all... Theresa thought to herself.

The love that was so unforgettable and desperate at the beginning was wiped out by despair. Maybe Her Royal Highness Sophie finally realized that fate could not be changed, and finally let it go.

That's fine, it's good for everyone.

Teresa felt both emotional and slightly proud.

If it was me, no matter how desperate and painful it was, I would never let it go, and I did rely on my persistent efforts to get what I wanted.

But Sophie let it go, which meant that the strength of Sophie's soul was still not as strong as her own - so it could be seen that she deserved to win, and she was destined.

Just as Teresa was thinking to herself, Sophie's eyes fell on her.

There was no anger or hostility in her gray-blue eyes, on the contrary, she showed a kind smile.

"Teresa, long time no see."

"Long time no see, Your Highness." Teresa quickly let go of the distracting thoughts in her heart, and then respectfully saluted the other party, "I was a little worried about you when I was outside, but seeing you looking so handsome now, I really feel for you Happy."

"I am pampered and pampered in Vienna, so I don't need you to worry about it." Sophie replied gently, "I am more worried about you. After all, you have gone through hardships and hardships outside, so you need to take care of yourself."

"I'm sorry to bother you, but don't worry. Although my daily life may not be as perfect as it is here after leaving Vienna, I am well taken care of by the people around me. Breathing the air outside is actually a good thing for me. It's a new experience, which puts me in a good mood." Teresa replied with a smile.

In order to avoid irritating Sophie, she said, "Besides, how can I feel uncomfortable when I can be with the one I love?" ’ The words were swallowed.

Now was not the time for them to bicker, and it meant nothing to her to stab Sophie any more, and she had not come here to ridicule her and quarrel with her.

Sophie didn't seem to be in the mood to argue with Teresa, she just smiled, looked at Teresa with squinted eyes, and then nodded.

"That's not wrong. You are dazzlingly beautiful now, and you seem to have been nourished enough by love."

Teresa just smiled and shook her head, not showing off her happiness too much. "You are really flattered, you are the most beautiful lady in this country."

In this way, the two walked in hand in hand while chatting. Although there was not much real goodwill between them, at least they maintained a decent respect on the surface. Sophie played a humble and respectful role as the Grand Duke hoped. The guests, did not reveal the slightest haze because of the past.

During the short conversation, Teresa also clearly noticed that Sophie's mood was indeed much brighter, and it seemed that she had really let go.

She has always had a personality of not offending me and not offending others, and she doesn't like to show off to others. Since Sophie is so polite now, she will naturally be polite.

Having said that, when Sophie is no longer so bitter and mean, she is indeed charming. Just looking at her frowns and smiles, there is a feeling of spring breeze, so that she easily wins the favor of the Grand Duke's family .

Mrs. Henrietta didn't know about the affair between Sophie and His Highness, so she didn't have any unusual feelings. Her impression of Sophie was only Teresa's friend. Since the other party came to visit, she naturally It will also be entertained with the greatest enthusiasm.

All of a sudden, there was constant laughter in the hall, and both the host and the guest felt like they were enjoying themselves, especially Sophie and Teresa were beauties with different temperaments. The young brothers were in the middle of it, looking at the two ladies. Every frown and smile, some eyes are straightened, and giggling from time to time.

After a moment of pleasantries, Sophie proposed to Teresa.

"Teresa, I heard you brought your child back with you?"

"Yes, Your Highness, this child is resting in my room right now, so I didn't bring it down." Teresa replied.

"So, can you take me to see this little baby?" Sophie asked with a smile, "Don't worry, I will take care not to disturb his sleep... I'm just curious."

Teresa didn't hesitate much, and this was what she expected, so she nodded and agreed.

"Okay, it's an honor for this little guy to get your attention!"

Then, Teresa bid farewell to her family for a while, and took Sophie up the stairs to her bedroom.

After entering the room, the two of them walked lightly in unison to avoid disturbing the sleeping baby.

Sophie quietly stood beside the cradle, watching Francois lying in the cradle.

This baby's skin is fair, with a bit of rosy nutrition. At this time, because the chest is naturally rising and falling in a deep sleep, it can easily stimulate the maternal nature of the ladies.

Sophie nodded slightly.

"He is indeed a very cute child. It is conceivable that he will be very handsome when he grows up... just like him."

Then, as if a little unwilling, she quietly added, "However, she is not as good-looking as my daughter."

This was the first time she had shown aggressiveness and competitiveness in words after she came to the manor. Teresa was a little surprised, but she didn't feel offended.

This is what His Royal Highness Sophie does... No matter what the situation is, she will never forgive others.

"Although I haven't seen Christel, I think she will be very good-looking. After all, she is your daughter. However, Francois is a boy. He doesn't need to compete with others for his appearance, but to Compared with the courage of being a man, I think, at this point, I will cultivate him well so that he will not be left behind."

"Heh..." Sophie seemed dumbfounded and laughed.

Then, she shook her head, "Teresa, your pity for me will not make me appreciate you, on the contrary, it will only make my self-esteem more frustrated...There is nothing more hurtful than pity."

"I...I don't pity you, I just hope that you can get out of the old haze as soon as possible, and I am willing to provide you with some help for this." Teresa shook her head, "Your Highness, what happened in the past It's all in the past, now that we are all looking forward, I see that you are feeling so much better now, and I am deeply happy for you."

"Happy...yes, you really should be happy, after all, you got a husband, a happy family, and everything." Sophie didn't seem to appreciate it very much, she just let out a weak sigh, "But You are right in saying that the past is over, and I can no longer argue with you about it. This will make me look humble-I am shouting at a person who tramples me down , What's the point of this other than to reflect my own ridiculousness? You got everything I couldn't have imagined... Sigh, this is probably due to fate."

Teresa knew that Sophie was in a bad mood, so she didn't respond, but let her vent.

From Sophie's words, she didn't feel much hatred, but there was a lot of unwillingness and helplessness - but this is normal, and it would be strange if Sophie completely treated it as nothing.

She didn't know how to comfort the other party, because she knew that in this situation, the more she comforted the other party, the more angry Sophie would be, so she could only keep silent and let Sophie adjust her mood.

Fortunately, at this time, perhaps because of the sound of the two people talking, the baby babbled and let out a low murmur, which happened to make the two people stop feeling emotionally at the right time.

Sophie continued to watch the baby, waiting for him to sleep again before she spoke again.

"No matter what I think about you, I have only goodwill towards this child, because he is the heir of Aiglon anyway, the legal heir... This is what I can't give him anyway, from this In a sense, I should thank you, you have given Aigron a great gift."

"Thank you is not necessary. This is my duty as a wife." Teresa pointed out the fact emphatically, "However, I am very grateful for your kindness, and I will make my son respect you in the future."

"Maybe you will become royals, maybe you can't, but no matter what you say, I will bless your career." Sophie emphasized again, "I have nothing to worry about now, and I can no longer provide any help to Aigron's career." But I will pray for you, Teresa, and I wish you success."

"We'll make it—" Teresa nodded solemnly.

"So, where is he now?" Sophie asked again.

Teresa hesitated, but did not answer right away.

Sophie felt angry again, but just like before, she covered it up with a calm expression.

"So, you specially invited me here this time, is there anything you want to say to me?" After a moment of silence, Sophie asked again. "Is there anything to convey?"
