Eagle’s Glory

Of course, Eggron would not miss the kind invitation of Princess Sophie. He got up early the next morning, and after some exercise, he followed the princess' attendants to the fountain.

"Good morning, Eggron!" Princess Sophie, who was already getting ready to go, greeted him with a smile on her face. "Are you ready?"

Unlike her usual long skirt, she was wearing a hunting suit today. The tight-fitting clothing and breeches made her figure more exquisite and exquisite, and her long gray hair was also tied behind her head, making her look heroic.

"I'm ready," Aegron replied.

"Okay, let's go now before it's too hot!" Her Royal Highness waved her hand excitedly.

The weather is beautiful today, and it is another sunny day. The weather is very suitable for going out for a long trip, but it is already early summer after all, and the temperature will rise at noon, so it is not suitable for strenuous exercise, so the best time to hunt is in morning.

So the two stopped talking, and walked together into the garden, where the attendants led the horses, and then they rode the horses, passed through the zoo and botanical gardens of the Schönbrunn Palace, and rushed all the way west to the outskirts of Vienna. In the vast forest.

The two rode side by side, and Her Royal Highness's entourage followed behind. Under the cover of many trees, the bright sunlight gradually became darker. Breathing the fresh and shady air, Egron only felt refreshed.

"Aigron." In the silence, Princess Sophie whispered. "What you... said in front of us last night, was it true?"

Aegron's heart suddenly tightened.

He didn't know if Sophie was asking questions on behalf of himself or someone else.

"While you were talking, I kept looking into your eyes." Before he could answer, Sophie continued, "To be honest, your words are full of emotion and emotion. Logically speaking, I should Believe it - but, when I look into your eyes, I feel your heart on fire... Eggron, you don't mean it, do you? We've known each other for a while, although you always deliberately put yourself I hide my feelings, but I don’t know why, I just feel that your words are insincere, those words are deceptive scenes, Aigron, did I blame you?"

Aegron remained silent and did not answer.

"Don't worry, these words are just what we said in private. I will never mention it to anyone else, even to Karl." Sophie turned her head and looked at the boy with a smile on her face, " I just want to confirm whether I have wrongly blamed you, and I didn't mean to interrogate you. If you don't want to, you don't have to answer."

Now that this has been said, it doesn't make much sense for him to continue explaining. For no reason, it will only cast a shadow on the trust between the two people. As for being silent, it didn't make sense, it seemed that he was afraid instead.

"Yes, I was lying." So he admitted it straight away. "I have no intention of becoming a writer or traveler at all, these are just fooling their words."

"Well, it seems that you are quite honest with me, and my kindness was not in vain." Princess Sophie smiled, and then asked again. "If this is the case, why do you reject His Royal Highness's arrangement? Although it must be malicious, objectively it will indeed help you."

"I know that if I obey my destiny..." This is of course impossible to answer.

Egron lowered his head and looked at the trembling mane on his mount, "I'm actually not opposed to joining the army after a while, but I... I can't bear to be with you now, if I go now, There will definitely be fewer opportunities to see you in the future, so I would rather wait for a while longer."

"Have you learned the deceitful words of a prodigal son at a young age?"

Princess Sophie glared at him,

Then he raised his hand and picked up the horsewhip as if he was going to give him a whip.

Aigron didn't dodge, but just looked at Sophie calmly.

Sophie's whip didn't really go down, she put her hand down again, and then looked forward.

"You are too short of friends, so you may think our friendship is too precious."

"Not many people are willing to be my friend." Aigron replied in a low voice. "I don't know whose friendship to cherish except you, because I don't have any."

After getting this answer, Sophie was obviously a little sad.

"This is really a trick of God! Why did you have to suffer this kind of suffering." Finally, she sighed. "Aigron, don't be discouraged, everything will be fine. As long as I'm here, no one here can bully you."

"Look, you don't let me cherish such precious time while you donate kindness to people like me nonchalantly. Isn't this difficult..." Aigron looked at the other party with aggrieved eyes, "If you want me If you change your mind, then it's better not to treat me like a sister, just treat me like everyone else."

"Haha..." Sophie couldn't help laughing, "I really didn't realize that you are so eloquent. Well, let's stop talking about these unpleasant things and concentrate on hunting!"

After speaking, she picked up the shotgun and aimed at the quail flying in the woods.

"boom!"

With a loud noise, smoke filled the space between the two, but it was a pity that the princess's marksmanship was not very good and she missed.

The gunshot woke up the woods, and all kinds of birds in the woods jumped up one after another.

Aigron also raised his shotgun and aimed at the frightened birds flying around in the distance.

Because the trees in the forest are lush and the light is dark, the field of vision for shooting is not good, so he can only do his best.

"Hit!" Sophie cheered, as if she had hit the target.

While speaking, she steered the horse and ran towards the direction where the prey fell, and Aigron naturally followed behind her, and at the same time reloaded the shotgun with new bullets.

"Aigron, your marksmanship is good." Looking at the dead quail under the horse's hoof, Sophie looked at the boy approvingly.

"It's just good luck occasionally." Aigron pretended to be modest.

"Look how proud you are!" Sophie was unconvinced again, picked up the shotgun and reloaded the bullets, "Look at mine!"

She raised the shotgun on horseback to aim again, and after aiming at the prey, she slowed down her breathing, and then pulled the trigger, the action was one-stop.

"boom!"

With a loud noise, this time an unfortunate turtledove floated to the ground.

"Hit!" Sophie cheered for herself this time, then rode her horse and ran over, ready to appreciate her victory, and Aigron also raised his shotgun and shot in front, but because of the shadow of the trees, he did not Did not kill prey.

"I beat you this time." Sophie rejoiced.

In this way, the two rode their horses through the woods, shooting from time to time, competing to see who killed more prey, and time passed in this leisurely and warm atmosphere.

"Aigron, it seems that you are still better than me." After a while, Sophie calculated the records of the two, and then said regretfully.

"It's just my luck," Aegron replied humbly.

While chatting, the two walked down a slope. Because this horse was not his daily mount, he was not very stable on the downhill road, and he was more bumpy when he was on the horse, so he carefully steered the horse while chatting with Sophie.

"Aigron, promise me one thing?" Sophie said suddenly.

"Please tell me." Aigron replied immediately.

"No matter how much you achieve in the future, you have to be rational and don't spread your hatred to everyone. Although the Austrians are guarding against you, they also have their own difficulties. Most of them have nothing against you. Bad feeling..."

"No one can tell what will happen in the future, but of course I will not let hatred blind my eyes." Aigron replied briefly, "If you ask me to do this, then I promise you, I will."

Sophie looked him in the eyes as he answered, and nodded happily when he finished.

"Great, I believe you... Aigron, this is what I want to see most in you..."

She didn't expect that when she was overjoyed, unexpected accidents and disasters came here.

The horse's hoof of her mount slammed heavily into the wooden stake hidden in the grass, and the sprained horse let out a mournful cry, then the upper body fell down, and the lower body suddenly lifted up.

"Ah!" Sophie screamed as she was being taken and swung upwards.

God!

Eggron felt his blood freeze.

Neither he nor the original soul in his body could imagine what would happen next.

He immediately stretched out his hand, grabbed Sophie's body heavily, and then yanked fiercely.

It was a knee-jerk reaction, and at this moment he was making a decision for himself.

Fortunately, he caught Sophie and pulled her off her mount, avoiding the disaster of being thrown off by the horse. However, while he was holding Sophie, his violent movements also made his mount Out of his control.

He fell off the right side of the horse all at once, his right shoulder first touching the ground, and at the same time his forehead touched the ground, and he lay there on his side.

Sophie was in his arms and fell to the ground with him.

"Eggron!"

Sophie, who was already stunned, suddenly let out a scream, then knelt down on the soft soil regardless of her manners, and held his head. "Are you OK?"

Seeing the scratches on the boy's forehead and face, and a small amount of blood, and the corners of his mouth twitching slightly, her tears flooded her eyes, and then overflowed.

"Aigron, are you alright?!" she cried out in a crying voice.

"I'm fine, Your Highness." Aigron looked at Sophie and couldn't help showing a smile, but the blood foam overflowing from the corner of his mouth made the answer unconvincing.

"sorry Sorry……"

Sophie apologized while crying, and then she raised her head, looking back with shame and anger that could almost set the entire forest on fire.

"Come on, come on!"
