"This must be the lucky day of my life."

Only Chanel can understand how much pride is contained in the young man's words at this time.

She felt a little sad in her heart, but she also knew that she had no right to interfere with His Highness's actions, so she could only keep silent.

"Okay, it's time for us to go, Chanel." Aigron quickly took back his pride and regained his usual calmness, "Did he say when he will come to you?"

"He said that the next time I come over, he will come to see me." Chanel replied.

Aegron was a little surprised.

It seems that my cousin is very cautious and does not want to take risks until the last moment, so he is unwilling to disclose his whereabouts to Chanel; moreover, he should have been here for a while and is very familiar with the situation here, so he is confident Chanel will definitely be able to meet him next time he comes over.

He didn't know much about Napoleon-Louis Bonaparte, because historically this poor young man died early in 1831, but judging from the current characteristics displayed by the other party, he is definitely not a mediocre generation.

He is indeed the elder brother of Napoleon III.

That's fine, if you're not an ambitious person, how could you take the risk and run over to help yourself.

He didn't worry about the sincerity and courage of the other party. Historically, the brothers were very disgusted with Austria, and even risked their lives to participate in the Carbonaran uprising, so they had enough courage to do something that shocked Europe.

Undoubtedly, this kind of person is also very difficult to satisfy, and he will not be willing to be subordinate to others all the time, but what he needs most now is someone with courage and a little brains. As for how to deal with the relationship with them in the future, that is a matter for the future up.

"Okay, if this is the case, next time we come together, if he finds you, you can bring him to see me——I will know what kind of character my dear cousin is then." Aigron revealed A slightly sarcastic smile. "By the way, how is his dancing posture?"

"I don't have much experience dancing with people, so I don't know much..." Chanel shook her head in confusion, "Your Highness, why do you ask such a question?"

"Nothing, I just want you to have a chance to compare—" Aigron bowed slightly and gestured to Chanel, "Chanel, thank you for everything you have done for me so far...we can dance together if we have the chance A song, forgive me and I don't have anything to reward you now."

"Your Highness..." Chanel was suddenly speechless in surprise, "You...how can I be worthy..."

"Do you want to question me?" Aegron asked back.

Chanel was at a loss for words, she just lowered her head with a blushing face, "Then I will follow your order."

After Aigron's joke, the original depression in her heart was suddenly swept away, and she was full of energy again.

It's really coaxing... Eggron thought to himself.

Such a loyal subordinate should really be rewarded well in the future.

But... the most important thing now is to go back and rest first.

"Okay...it's time to go back." Eggron yawned, "Let's go, it's time to go back."

"Okay, Your Highness." Chanel immediately agreed.

Aigron found Sophie who was waiting for him again, and then they boarded the returning carriage together.

It was already early morning, the streets were already sparsely populated, and the carriage was galloping through the night with a delicate sound.

Sophie was overworked, so she fell asleep leaning on the young man's shoulder after getting into the carriage, and Eggron was already exhausted physically and mentally, and was just trying to force himself.

He looked at Sophie next to him, and found that she was sleeping soundly with a smile on her face - only a person who was satisfied both mentally and physically would show such a happy smile.

However, just today, the help he had been waiting for finally arrived, which meant that his plan had reached the final stage.

So, on that day, what gesture should we take to say goodbye to her?

Or is it better to just leave without saying goodbye?

He doesn't regret his decision, but he also knows what this decision means.

He couldn't figure it out until the end, so he could only bend down and kiss her cheek lightly.

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

It was almost noon when Eggron woke up the next day, and he only felt refreshed.

Knowing that the young man had "toiled too much" last night, his teacher, Captain Foresty, made an exception and canceled this morning's training, so he was able to rest for so long.

He slowly got up, everything that happened last night was like a dream, even though it had been a night, he still couldn't help rummaging through his memory from time to time, reminiscing about everything that happened.

However, life still had to go on, and he returned to his old life.

Just after he had finished washing, Chanel told her that his guardian, Count Dietrichstein, had come to see him.

Could it be that you came to scold me for knowing what happened last night? Aegron's first reaction was this.

He was a little guilty, but he still managed to calm himself down—after all, this was just a private matter between him and Sophie, and it was not up to the Earl to take care of it.

"Mr. Earl, what can I do for you?" After seeing the Earl, he asked in a low voice.

"Your Highness, I have some news to tell you." The count stood up and bowed to him.

"Huh?" Aigron was a little puzzled.

However, he also relaxed his mind. The Earl's behavior meant that he was definitely not here to reprimand him.

"In a few days, France will have a heavyweight visit to Vienna." The earl explained to him in a low voice, "He has the mission of His Majesty the King of France and will go to St. Petersburg to serve as the ambassador to Russia. Before taking office, he plans to Let’s first visit the capitals of various countries—”

"Then he wants to come to see me, right?" Aigron probably understood something.

"You're right." The count nodded.

"That's interesting, have I become a star now? There are always people in France who want to meet me." Aigron smiled slightly mockingly, "But it doesn't matter, the more people I can meet, the better."

To Eggron's surprise, the Earl was not happy this time, but rather hesitant.

"Who is this person?" Aigron realized that something was wrong, so he asked.

"Yes...it's the Duke of Ragusa." After hesitating for a moment, the count finally answered.

Aigron was stunned for a moment, and then reacted immediately.

"Marmont?!" he exclaimed. "Is that him?"

"Yes, Your Highness, it is him, Marshal Marmont." The count nodded.

"This person...has the nerve to come to see me?" Aigron felt a little unbelievable. "Does he think I will welcome him?"

"That's not enough, Your Highness." The count smiled wryly, "He doesn't expect you to welcome him, but he hopes to tell you something, and he also has a letter from the King of France, hoping to hand it to you. "

"What tattered autograph letter, does the King of France really think that I take him seriously? How dare he use this person to humiliate me?" Egron couldn't restrain his anger, and asked loudly to his guardian.

It's no wonder that he lost his composure. After all, the identity of Marshal Auguste de Marmont is too special. Just thinking of this person is enough to make Napoleon's supporters angry.

Marmont was a famous general in the empire era, and his title of marshal and duke were bestowed by Napoleon.

He was originally just a child of an ordinary family. He joined the army during the Great Revolution and began to follow Napoleon in the Battle of Toulon. Later, he followed Napoleon to fight in Italy, Egypt and other places. He made many military exploits and became Napoleon's close friend.

After Napoleon became emperor, His Majesty the Emperor also rewarded his loyalty with glory and wealth——

In 1808, to commemorate Marmont's defeat of the Russian army in Ragusa, he was named Duke of Ragusa.

On July 12, 1809, in order to reward his heroic battle, Marmont was named Marshal of France at the age of 35.

However, at the moment when the empire was coming to an end, he was used to the glory and wealth, and he was no longer willing to perish with Napoleon.

In 1814, Talleyrand met him and analyzed the situation, and he decided to turn his back on the benefactor who had singled him out. So, in one night, he quietly brought 12,000 French troops into the coalition camp, and fell into a desperate siege.

When dawn came, the army found itself surrounded and unable to escape, and finally had no choice but to surrender before perishing - and the empire lost its last bargaining chip.

After Napoleon learned that he had been betrayed by his best friend for many years, he was angry and helpless, and finally had no choice but to abdicate.

Since then, Marshal Marmont parted ways with Napoleon, and he became the confidant of King Louis XVIII, helping Louis XVIII control the army.

When Napoleon was restored in 1815, he fled with Louis XVIII, and after the collapse of the Hundred Days Dynasty, he returned to Paris. Together with General Meng, Ney was sentenced to death during the trial.

All in all, Marshal Marmont was one of the most successful jumpers after the empire came to an end. He used the lives of 12,000 French soldiers and Marshal Ney as bargaining chips in exchange for the trust of the Bourbon dynasty And reuse, to keep the glory and wealth that I finally got.

And the price, of course, is the gnashing of teeth and hatred of the supporters of the empire.

His title of "Duke of Ragusa" has become one of the pronouns for rebels-although he certainly doesn't care about such trivial matters.

As a time traveler, Aigron didn't care about those old events, but he felt that the King of France let such a person visit him, which contained absolute malice, even close to humiliation.

So it is understandable that the earl was so hesitant just now.

"Your Highness, please don't get excited. I understand your feelings, but a person like you cannot easily reveal his feelings!" The count quickly persuaded him again. "You can choose to see him or not to see him, but this should be a deliberate decision after you calm down, not an impulsive decision made on the spur of the moment."

The earl's words were like a basin of cold water, which calmed down Aigron a little.

He looked at the other party suspiciously, waiting for the earl's further explanation. "Should I still applaud for this?"

"You don't need to applaud, but you can think about it, this is not so bad for you—" the earl cautiously advised Aigron, "You are much younger than Charles X, and he is destined to die before you , so why do you care about his little thoughts? Actual benefits are more important than temporary face. And what do you need most now? As I said before, that is the need for a sense of presence, the need to be recognized by European countries, and more importantly Build your own network of relationships, so you should cherish every opportunity to appear on stage, even if you hate that person 100% in your heart, it is a pain that can be endured temporarily."

"Meeting Marmont will not increase my prestige, and it is impossible for Marmont to cooperate with me again—" Aigron replied.

"He can't, but his men can." The count reminded the boy, "Marmont didn't come here alone, he came with a delegation, and there must be many promising officers in it, and these people It's someone you can make acquaintances with..."

Eggron's eyes widened.

The Count persuaded him.

Yes, if he can take the opportunity to get to know some French officers, it will undoubtedly help him in his future plans-although the earl's original intention is to make it easier for him to flourish in Austria in the future, the essence is the same.

For this reason, Marshal Marmont was nothing to hate.

Besides, what could he have to lose? Presumably Marshal Marmont can't do anything to himself now.

"Metternich will always be watching. If you treat the Bourbon family too badly, or even directly reject the king's offer, then his trust in you will be somewhat compromised..." the earl added in a low voice.

Under his persuasion, Eggron changed his mind.

"Indeed." He nodded lightly, turning his expression into an indifferent calm, "You are right, I need to restrain my emotions and act...at least for now, it is beneficial to me and I should do it. I still It's getting a little fussy."

The earl smiled gratifiedly, "Your Highness, you don't have to feel discouraged. Who can live without a temper? No matter how wise a sage is, he will get angry sometimes, let alone at your young age! He is the best grandson I have ever seen, no matter how emotional he is, he can listen to opinions, believe me, this is a rare quality."

"What a pity..." Eggron sighed.

It's a pity that people like the Earl can't always be by his side, reminding him of what he should do.

So, you have to grow up yourself, young man...don't be too complacent, there is still a long way to go, you have to make yourself more outstanding. He secretly said to himself.

"Is there anything else you want to remind me?" he asked again.

"It is said that Marshal Marmont was the confidant of the late King Louis XVIII, but the current King Charles X doesn't like him." The earl whispered, "So after he came to power, he appointed him as the ambassador to Russia and sent him away from afar. You may be able to take advantage of this—he may not mind your acquaintance with his men, at least not nervously cutting off all communication."

"I see, sir." Aigron thanked the count, "Bad guys have their uses, don't they?"
