"I am also very grateful for Her Highness Teresa's help."

"Very good." Prime Minister Metternich nodded in satisfaction when he saw the young man saying so well.

Then, he seemed to be a little emotional again, "Your Highness, I'm not so optimistic that you will really be grateful to me, but I believe that you are enough to recognize the reality and find your own interests. You can treat this as a deal. Empire You can exchange what I give you. I will not force you to act in the interests of the Austrian Empire, but in the end you will find that it is in your interest to cooperate with me. You will have a suitable position in the imperial family, and this Positions allow you to play to your talents."

"Then Teresa is the prize?" Aegron asked back.

"Isn't it?" Your Excellency the Prime Minister asked back, "and it is a prize that most people can't wait for. At least a non-royal family like me is not qualified to count on it. So in my opinion, you should thank God for his blessing."

"Well, I thank God for his care." Aigron nodded, and then changed the topic, "But Teresa may not thank you for treating me like this."

Prime Minister Metternich responded with a contemptuous smile.

"Who cares what she thinks? Is it important?" He pointed to the room with his fingers, "Let me tell you the truth, just over ten years ago, in this room, Your Majesty and I Deciding to send your mother to France, and then you existed today is just a repeat, the Habsburg family has done similar things countless times before and will do it countless times, it is nothing special."

Seeing Metternich's slightly mocking look, Egron had a strange feeling.

It's not that what he said was wrong, in fact what he said was right, but logically speaking, with his gloomy and indifferent personality, he wouldn't say such harsh words in front of him, even if he thought so in his heart.

It can be seen that his mood is definitely not as good as it appears on the surface, so he can't control his emotions.

"Have you quarreled with her father?" He suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Metternich froze for a moment, then nodded coldly, "You are indeed very perceptive, Your Highness. That's right, indeed."

Then, he added with some dissatisfaction, "He is too accommodating to Teresa, she is just a daughter!"

From the Prime Minister's words, Aigron probably understood what happened before.

It seems that when the two met, Metternich and Grand Duke Karl put pressure on Teresa to quickly submit to the will of His Majesty the Emperor, but the Grand Duke refused to force his daughter to agree, so the two sides were deadlocked.

"Some people's views on children are different from others, so there is no way to force it." Aigron said with pretended regret.

"Unfortunately, Your Highness. For the sake of profit, some things must be forced." Prime Minister Metternich replied coldly, "This is something that His Majesty has already decided. It is impossible to destroy the whole plan because of a child's sudden willfulness. This is impossible and cannot be tolerated, and you, let me put it harshly, Your Highness, your future is also closely related to this matter."

Before Aigron could answer, His Excellency the Prime Minister continued, "Young man, I can see that you are an absolute realist, just like me when I was young. You don't respect your mother, no Respect Your Majesty, not even God, you only respect yourself. That's fine, nothing wrong, as a man of ambition should be, but it also means it's going to be very hard to trust you, just as I won't be satisfied You're just as insatiable as a court jester, and you'll want to climb up there if you get the chance, because I'm going to do it too..."

Prime Minister Metternich's words made Egron a little confused. Is this his admiration or guard against him?

Maybe both.

He listened quietly without saying a word.

"Because I know how to judge others by myself, I know that there are only two options, either to give enough conditions, or to give nothing at all.

The path of the mean will only make you ridicule and spurn, so Teresa is my sincerity. If you lose this sincerity in a fool, then nothing will be given to you, because you have been proven to have no sincerity to serve Austria. "Prime Minister Metternich stared at the young man and said word by word, "That's all I want to say, Your Highness, please don't continue to prevaricate us with an attitude that has nothing to do with you. You can hide it from Your Majesty." You can't hide it from me, the essence of the question is whether you are willing to be sincere, if you are not, you can say it now, I promise I will not bother you again, and no one will bother you again. "

"You mean that I have to agree." Aigron was not intimidated by the Prime Minister, but replied calmly.

"Smart people should speak directly." Prime Minister Metternich frowned slightly, "Your Highness, don't think that I am belittling you, on the contrary, I am respecting you, so I did not insult us with a bunch of boring rhetoric Two. If you are willing, I will have many opportunities to teach you experience in this way in the future, so that you can slowly grow into a person who can solve problems for the royal family. The best thing for you." Fastest.m.

"Your respect is really unbearable." Aigron smiled slightly.

He could see that Prime Minister Metternich was in a very bad mood because his plan had been thwarted, and what he said later was very blunt and harsh by the standards of the court.

But he knew that at this moment, he especially couldn't break up the relationship between the two of them.

No matter how much dissatisfaction he has accumulated, now is not the time to mess everything up for a quick moment, and he must not give up the opportunity he has accumulated with great difficulty.

"Then what do you want me to do?" He asked calmly.

"It's all the same to me to change Grand Duke Karl's mind, or to change Theresa's mind," Chancellor Metternich replied immediately, "and as soon as possible."

"Can I get everything you promised for this?" Aigron asked seemingly uneasy.

"Yes." Metternich's tense face finally relaxed, "I'm training you now, Your Highness? You're already in class."

The dialogue between two people is very different from the usual mode of getting along with other people. Maybe this is the more real side of each. Agron thought.

In fact, he felt good about getting along with Metternich with the most realistic and utilitarian attitude like this. If he was made to flatter Metternich every day, it would be really disgusting.

However, His Excellency the Prime Minister never imagined that in fact, all the buttons of all this have always been in his own hands.

Changing Teresa's mind wasn't difficult, and he could control the pace of it.

As long as my plan is really realized, I no longer need to look at the old man's face in the future, instead I want to see how he has a headache when the time comes.

"I am very impressed with this lesson, Your Excellency." He bowed slightly to the old man, "How will you arrange for me specifically? Just tell me, for the bright future you promised, I will be very willing to work hard. "

"This seems like a smart man." Prime Minister Metternich finally laughed.

Then, he became serious again, "Tomorrow Grand Duke Karl will come to see you and take you to attend official activities. Remember to attend on time. I need you to behave better so that he can agree with you more. Remember, the more you The more you actively integrate into this place, the more things this place can give you.”

"I will do my best." Eggron nodded respectfully, "I know what is for my own good."

Metternich patted him on the shoulder lightly, as if to encourage him, but also to indicate that he could resign.

"Well, Your Highness, I sincerely wish you smooth sailing and a happy ending to a history that cannot be looked back."

Aegron saluted again, and then exited the room.

Sure enough, as the Prime Minister said, the next morning, Egron received a notice to meet Archduke Karl.

Unlike the military uniform and medals he wore when we first met, today the Grand Duke is only wearing a plain old military uniform.

As soon as they met, the Grand Duke looked at him again from beginning to end.

"Good morning, Your Highness." Aigron saluted him respectfully.

"Good morning." The Grand Duke replied dryly, then turned around, "Come with me."

So the two walked out of the room side by side, followed by Archduke Karl's entourage.

Archduke Karl's height was not very high, and Aigron was obviously taller than him when walking side by side, but even so, he still felt a little uncomfortable being around this battle-tested general.

"Your Highness, what event are you going to take me to?" Aegron asked cautiously as he walked.

"I'm going to take you to a nursing home for disabled soldiers." Archduke Karl answered him bluntly. "Although I have already quit the command ranks, I will find time to visit them every year. I think this is what I should do."

... This answer surprised Aigron, and he almost stopped in his tracks.

Soldiers are disabled because of fighting, and it seems that the only ones who have fought against Austria over the years are...

"Are you afraid?" Archduke Karl glanced at him, "That's right, the disabled people inside are the work of your father and the French army."

"I'm not afraid, it's just a little accident." Aigron shook his head, "Why did you take me there?"

"Then what do you think I am for?" Archduke Karl asked impatiently. "If the Austrians want to forgive and accept a Napoleon, the only way is to start with them. If people who lost a leg toast to Napoleon's son, what else can others say?"

... Eggron was speechless for a moment.

It seems that it does.

If even the group of people who experienced the most pain back then didn't care about their own existence, then the others would be enough to keep their mouths shut, even if they wanted to say something sour, they could just keep it back.

So, it seemed like an excellent move if he was going to make himself acceptable to the Austrians, although he never cared about it.

"Don't be afraid, soldiers are obedient to their duty to fight for the country. It can only be said that it is bad luck to be disabled or die in the war. The same is true for the French. There is nothing to resent. I will not let them treat you Speak badly." Perhaps thinking that Aigron had some scruples, the Grand Duke comforted him. On the mobile phone, remember in one second → m.

Then, he sighed, "However, if your father hadn't been so militaristic, a lot of people would have died in the end."

"Thank you." Aigron was not interested in arguing about historical issues, and he sincerely thanked the Grand Duke. "Although they may not want to hear my name, I will try to make them happy."

"You don't have to thank me, this is Teresa's idea." The Grand Duke sighed, seemingly helpless towards his daughter, "If Teresa didn't ask, how could I have so many troubles?"
