Eagle’s Glory

"Okay, it's getting late, you go back. Good night."

Her Majesty the Queen didn't give Aigron any chance to ask further questions, and waved him away directly.

Although there were still too many things to ask in his heart, at this moment, Aigron could only suppress the surprise in his heart, and bowed his head to salute and bid farewell to Her Majesty the Queen.

After exiting the balcony, he walked back to the living room just now under the guidance of the female officer. At this time, His Majesty the Emperor had already left to rest, so there were few people in the living room.

Standing in the living room that had become quiet again, Aigron felt a little dazed for a moment.

He was still shocked by what Her Majesty the Queen said just now.

Especially the line "So, I think... if you want to leave any memories, you'd better do it as soon as possible... while the good things are still lingering."

What is Her Majesty the Queen implying?

There is one fact that is very obvious—that is, Her Majesty the Queen has always tolerated and even acquiesced in Sophie's relationship with her, because she felt that Teresa's marriage plan with her was inevitable, so she advised herself to take advantage of it before it was officially announced. During the time of the engagement, I left fond memories with Sophie.

What exactly does the so-called good memory refer to, and what step does it refer to?

Literally speaking, this seems to imply something very dangerous... But he is not sure, and it is even more impossible to ask what it means.

However, when he asked himself, he really didn't expect that things would develop to such an extent that it was almost completely different from what he originally thought.

Originally, he just wanted to pretend to cooperate with the marriage plan, and then use the prestige of Grand Duke Karl to realize his escape plan, but until now, it seems that it has become an obligation that he cannot shirk.

It is conceivable how Sophie will react if this matter is really finalized.

He absolutely didn't want to let things go this far.

Sophie or Teresa, it wasn't a multiple choice question for him.

In all fairness Teresa is indeed cute, and the two of them had a great time chatting, but they have only met a few times, how could they have such a deep emotional bond?

But Sophie was completely different. The two of them had been together for two years, and they were so happy almost every day. She was considerate and tender to him, while he was not only grateful to her, but also full of respect, love and admiration.

The only person he's ever felt guilty about for what he's done so far is her.

Besides, he had already promised Sophie before coming here that he would not make a hasty decision about his life.

He was already doomed to hurt her, so he didn't want to hurt her one more time on such extravagant issues.

Now, if he bluntly refuses, I'm afraid the consequences will be unpredictable. His Majesty the Emperor has made his position clear last night. If he changes his words again, God knows how he will be dealt with next.

...But at least find a way to slow down the plan of this marriage, at least not let it become a reality before he escapes.

Thinking of this, he finally made up his mind.

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

As the sun rose, it was a new morning at the farm, and the people around His Majesty the Emperor began to get busy again.

But His Majesty the Emperor himself was enjoying his vacation leisurely. He got up early in the morning for a walk and didn't come back until close to noon.

Eggron also got up early, and he had formed the habit of getting up early over the years. Although his teacher didn't follow him, he still took a sword from the guard and practiced swinging it beside the grove of the farm.

Knowing the lessons of the Roman kings in history,

Therefore, he paid great attention to physical exercise, so as not to end up in the end of a premature death.

Normally, no one would disturb the Duke's practice, but today was a little different - when Aigron was seriously practicing his sword, a girl in a skirt quietly walked beside him.

The girl didn't interrupt his practice, but just stood quietly, watching the boy's practice.

After a while, Aigron finally woke up from the state of concentration and immersion, and then his attention began to disperse to the surroundings, and then he was stunned to find Teresa standing beside him.

"Good morning, Eggron." Teresa greeted him with a smile.

"Good morning, Teresa." Eggron also nodded in greeting, and then returned the sword to the guard.

"Your Highness's swordsmanship must be very good?" Teresa asked with a smile, "Although I don't know much about swordsmanship, but seeing how smooth and beautiful your movements are, you should be quite powerful."

"This is just a set of fixed movements, purely for physical exercise." Aigron shrugged, "If I fight against the teacher, it won't be so smooth."

"I see..." Teresa nodded, "I heard from my father that your teacher is very proud of your swordsmanship. He thinks that you are rare among your peers, and even among adults, you are rarely able to beat you. .”

"I hope he didn't say good things on purpose to make us happy." Although Aigron tried his best to appear flattered, he still couldn't hide a little pride and pride in his heart.

"...I'm really glad to be friends with you, Aegron." Teresa smiled with a little pride that couldn't be concealed, "Your Highness, I firmly believe that if you can get the chance, you will definitely succeed Amazing. Your father's spirit in heaven will definitely be proud of you now..."

"I'm not qualified to compare with him." Aigron shook his head sadly. "It's just a puppet being manipulated by people now. Fortunately, some people are very nice to me, so my life is not so bad."

"Don't be discouraged, there will be a chance." Teresa moved closer, and then comforted him in a low voice, "Didn't Your Majesty already say that I very much hope that you will serve the Empire in the future. The older generation of our family will wither sooner or later, And at that time, your status in the family will definitely skyrocket... I will do my best to help you."

Teresa's words were reasonable, but immediately reminded Eggron of what Sophie had said to him.

Alas, who would pin their fate on the illusory "sooner or later"?

Seeing Aigron's suddenly frustrated look, Teresa was a little annoyed that she had said the wrong thing, and she didn't know how to restore the atmosphere.

The two were silent for a while, and walked back to the villa at the same time.

"Aigron, you probably lack friends of your peers." Teresa changed the subject again. "I can ask my father to find a few people of the same age for you to get to know, maybe this will relieve the boredom."

"Before you, I really didn't have one, but I'm not sure if I lacked it." Aigron replied calmly, "It's not a big regret for me to have no friends. Besides, there may not be many people in Austria who are willing to Be friends with me."

"You're too strong, Your Highness." Teresa shook her head, then sighed, "Well, I'm pretty much the same, so what qualifications do I have to talk about you...I don't have any friends either."

Then, she seemed to be talking to herself, "So, just because like-minded friends are precious to us, we should cherish them even more, shouldn't we? If you can only close your eyes and talk to yourself for a lifetime, then How is it different from sleepwalking..."

What kind of strange metaphor is this? Aegron was a little elusive.

He has met too few people of his age, and so far he only has one friend, Teresa, so he can't tell if he doesn't understand.

If you don't understand it, there's no need to think about it.

In addition, now is the time to take the opportunity to speak out.

Aigron stopped in his tracks, then looked at Teresa with a serious expression.

"Teresa, actually... I just want to tell you something."

"What's the matter? Please tell me." Teresa was a little surprised.

... When the words came to his mouth, Aigron was a little embarrassed again. He regained his composure before speaking again.

"Teresa, let me ask you a question... What do you think about marriage?" Even Aigron, who has always been indifferent to what others think, knows that it is a bit presumptuous to ask such a question in front of a girl. , but he could only bite the bullet and ask.

Sure enough, as he expected, Teresa's eyes widened immediately, and then the red clouds covered her, and then she forcibly turned her head away and looked to the side.

"...Sorry, I may have asked a question I shouldn't have asked." Aigron quickly apologized, "If it's embarrassing, don't worry about it."

"It's okay, it's okay...you should know it, but in fact you care about this matter...surprises me." Teresa's breathing was a little messy, so her words were a little hurried, "I...I actually also I don't know how to answer. Family members like me should listen to the elders in matters of marriage, right? If both parents nod, how can we disagree? So, when the time comes, let the mother decide... ..."

For some reason, Aigron suddenly remembered what she said last night.

"In other words, are you still hesitating?" He put aside distracting thoughts, and then said carefully, "Teresa, to be honest, I'm not sure whether my current state can make people happy. So I dare not promise anything, and I don't want to drag others down. I think I need to evaluate my future carefully, and then make a decision not to hurt others."

Following his words, Teresa's face turned pale.

"So, you mean... I don't deserve it?" she asked after a moment.

"No, I'm worried that I'm not good enough for you, so I think...you should think carefully about it." Eggron replied.

"Aigron, I... May I take the liberty to ask you a question?" Teresa suddenly said.

"No problem, please ask." Aigron nodded.

"The reason why you think so...is it because of His Highness?" Teresa looked at Aigron, and then asked in a low voice, "Maybe I did think too much, but I feel...I feel that your words and that day Her words were almost exactly the same at night, almost as if she taught you to say them."

"No... no, it's my own idea." Aigron shook his head.

"Is that so?" Teresa looked at Aigron with an expression on her face.

Then, she nodded slightly, "Well, if this is your wish, then it's okay, I can accept it. Maybe we really need to think carefully, and making a decision like this is good for everyone."

Aegron breathed a sigh of relief.

"But... I'm not easy to bully, Your Highness."

Teresa suddenly said another word, then left him, turned and walked straight away.
