Eagle’s Glory

Under Eggron's gaze, Sophie stood motionless, seemingly lost in thought.

Aigron hesitated for a moment, but decided to go over to comfort her.

Although he knew that if he went now, Sophie might vent his anger, but he also knew that he could only deal with this matter by himself, and Chanel couldn't help at all.

Sophie has helped him so much, it's okay for him to bear a little anger.

"Your Highness...it's already so late, let's go back." He walked to Sophie's side and whispered.

As if awakened with a start, Sophie's eyes regained their focus, and then focused on the young man.

To Eggron's surprise, Sophie didn't lose her temper, or even show anger. She just looked at him with mixed feelings, more like she felt guilty.

"What's wrong with you?" Aigron was a little surprised by Sophie's reaction.

"It's nothing, Eggron." Sophie shook her head lightly, "Let's go."

Although I don't know why Sophie held back her anger, since the matter ended so easily, Eggron was also relieved.

So, he didn't say much anymore, and the two walked out of the theater arm in arm and then came to the carriage.

In the Mercedes-Benz carriage, Sophie still looked thoughtful, which made Eggron a little worried—he even wondered if she was fooled by Teresa.

"Your Highness, what did you say to Teresa?" He couldn't help asking, "Why do you look so gloomy?"

"We said something about you, Eggron." Sophie glanced at him, then replied.

"...I'm sorry." Aigron didn't know what to say, so he had to apologize.

"It's not your fault, it's what those old bastards have tossed about. How can I blame you?" Sophie sighed, "I'm very grateful that you are willing to delay the matter until now for me."

I don't know why, but at this moment, she seems more sad than angry, "Teresa said I was selfish, and I don't want to admit it, but isn't that the case? I won't allow you to accept this marriage, which is obviously a big surprise to you." Unfavorable, but you have never said a word of complaint to me, and silently abided by my agreement... You made sacrifices for me, but I took it for granted! I have been unwilling to face this fact, and just compensated you twice , But what kind of compensation is this! Today, someone finally pointed it out mercilessly to my face, and I have nowhere to hide anymore, I can only face the reality, which really makes me painful and ashamed."

"It doesn't need to be so serious, it's not a sacrifice." Aigron laughed, "It's all over, there's nothing to talk about."

Aegron is so calm, of course, because he has already decided to escape, so the marriage with Grand Duke Karl's family has long been meaningless to him.

If he was in a different situation and had other plans, would he really give the same answer in front of the test of life? He wasn't sure.

Of course, there is no need to say these words.

"I look down on everyone, and I never felt that I owed them anything, but fate made me meet you, and everything changed completely..." Sophie blinked, as if she was about to cry, " Aegron, have you never held a grudge against me?"

"It's okay." Aigron smiled smartly and stroked her cheek, "All you gave me is enough for me, and I don't expect anything else, I'm not used to begging others Give me something."

Sophie was so moved, she threw herself into his arms desperately, hugged him tightly, "Kiss me!"

Agron did.

After a long time, the two parted their lips.

"Your Highness, are you feeling better?" Aigron asked with a smile.

"It's much better..." Sophie smiled again, and then replied with a blushing face, "I really wish I could just stick to you like this."

After making a joke,

She continued, "Aigron, I've thought about it carefully. You don't need to keep a promise that will only hurt yourself for me."

"You... what do you mean?" Eggron was a little surprised.

"If His Majesty makes a strong request, then you don't need to go against his will anymore. If you offend him, it will be your own bad luck." Sophie replied softly, "I don't want to do it for my own selfishness. As a result, your future is ruined."

Aigron blinked his eyes, completely unable to understand why Sophie not only did not lose her temper but acted like this after being teased once.

"You...you forgive Teresa?" he asked in a low voice.

"No, I will never forgive her for the rest of my life. How dare this shameless bastard come to snatch my most precious treasure and talk to me like that..." Sophie's eyes finally flashed with anger, "I It's just for you, I don't have the ability to protect you in front of His Majesty's anger, I shouldn't entrap you."

While talking, Sophie burst into tears, "If the price of my willfulness is to make you unlucky, then I would rather swallow it."

Although her expression has been as calm as possible, Aigron can still feel the pain in her heart at the moment - for an arrogant person like her, being able to say such words must be heart-wrenching.

"Don't think too much..." She suddenly smiled reluctantly, "Fool, I haven't given up yet! I will try my best to hinder this marriage, try my best, and I will still be in Bavaria. Trying to find a way... By the way, my twin sister is not married yet, maybe anything is possible! I won't admit it until the last moment when there is really no hope... I just want to tell you that you have sacrificed so much for me Enough is enough, you shouldn't bear the pressure next, just let me work hard! Even if the worst result is just because of my incompetence, I won't blame you, Aigron..."

As she spoke, she sobbed softly, "Just do what your teachers have tirelessly advised you to do, and it's up to me to take responsibility for myself. I've been at the mercy of you for too long, I can't Go on like this."

Looking at the sobbing Sophie, Eggron felt mixed feelings.

So weak, yet so strong, what made her like this?

This is love.

Even though he was used to indifference and alienation, his heart couldn't help but melt when he encountered such hot tenderness.

It's ridiculous that he has been calculating and using her all the time.

How humble and despicable I am... he thought to himself.

But now that we have reached this point, what else can we say?

He could only smile wryly, took Sophie into his arms, and then gently stroked her hair, in this way to comfort her wounded heart.

All of this is an opportunity to pay back.

"At least for a while, we can enjoy a good time." Sophie murmured in his arms, crying, "Aigron, I want to..."

The sense of crisis emanating from the bottom of her heart made her desperate.

In an instant, the hem of her skirt fluttered slightly, and her long hair fluttered in mid-air, and then fell down gently. Everything became invisible amidst the dense sound of horseshoes.

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

The next morning, Egron, who had finished his practice, suddenly received an order from Prime Minister Metternich to summon him.

He hurried over to meet the powerful Prime Minister.

As soon as the two met, the old Prime Minister did not speak, but looked the young man up and down, as if evaluating how much the young man had grown during the time the two had not met.

After a long time, Prime Minister Metternich nodded, "Good performance, Your Highness, it seems that you really took what I said to heart."

Aigron didn't quite understand what the other party meant, so he didn't say anything for a while, waiting for his next words.

"But I didn't expect that you suddenly became interested in music?"

Aigron was a little confused at first, but soon a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly thought of something——

"Did Archduke Karl suggest it to you?" Then he asked.

He recalled that when he visited the estate of Archduke Karl, Teresa once played a piano piece for the family at dinner - Beethoven's "Moonlight". Teresa then becomes a little bit aggrieved by Beethoven's treatment and laments when she hears of his imminent death.

Then, she suggested to her father that she and Egron go to visit the musician who was about to leave the world. After hesitating for a while, Grand Duke Karl still couldn't hold back his daughter's wish, and finally agreed.

So Prime Minister Metternich suddenly asked this thoughtless question, and it is understandable why—Grand Duke Karl formally greeted Metternich and asked for permission to visit the famous musician.

After figuring out the cause and effect, Aigron relaxed. He didn't care whether the other party promised or not, and he wouldn't lose anything anyway.

"Yes, Grand Duke Karl is really sympathetic to children." Metternich laughed sarcastically, "I agreed to such a willful request casually."

"Then what's your opinion?" Aegron looked at him inquiringly.

"I admit that guy is a talented musician, but he is too rebellious and his temper is unbearable—" Metternich shrugged, "However, even so, he is not a prisoner, since you want to go to Look, go ahead and see, but..."

Metternich raised a finger, "I have a request - I hope you don't make any remarks that damage the prestige of this government, and you are not allowed to repeat any outrageous remarks made by that guy, you just look at him. The way it was before death, that's all."

"I have no interest in judging the government, Your Excellency." Aigron immediately assured, "I have never cared at all about the political stance of musicians."

"I know, I have confidence in your indifference, my dear highness, I watched you grow up, I don't believe that you will believe the bluffing nonsense of liberalism and romanticism." Metternich Continue to laugh mockingly, "I mean, you want Teresa not to make such outrageous remarks—if someone in her capacity speaks out words that criticize the government and me, and then they are taken out If it is published publicly, it will embarrass everyone, and Grand Duke Karl himself will definitely not be able to please him."

Egron believed Metternich's words this time.

At this time, Beethoven, although he lived in Vienna and was very famous, he had a very stalemate with the Metternich government. Publishing control, so the corresponding Metternich government also hated this disobedient artist very much, almost insulating him from the public.

As a member of the royal family, the Archduke Karl naturally leaned towards Metternich's side in terms of political stance, so it was normal to be a little embarrassed when hearing his daughter's request - it is conceivable that the usual Grand Duke would often be concerned about his daughter's outrageous remarks And it's a headache...

"I will try to restrain His Highness's remarks." Thinking of this, Aigron nodded. "But I'm afraid there's quite a limit to what I can do."

"No, Your Highness, I never believe other people's vague promises, because I have made such promises countless times and I have never kept them." Metternich sneered, "Let me be straightforward, during this period you have to Take responsibility for her actions, it is your responsibility if something goes wrong, I don't want to see you stand by."

"She is the daughter of Grand Duke Karl, how can I control her?" Aegron asked back.

"She is indeed the daughter of Grand Duke Karl, but she is also your future wife, of course you have to be responsible for it." Prime Minister Metternich frowned impatiently, "In short, I hope you will make sure that she does not do anything To embarrass everyone, complete this visit safely, and let Her Highness Teresa's capriciousness end in a dignified way."

You can't beat Grand Duke Karl, so you just use me as a safety lock... Aigron couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Obviously, if Teresa really did something out of the ordinary, the most embarrassing thing would be Prime Minister Metternich himself. He has always been hated by the citizens of Vienna because of his high-handed control. Members of the royal family sang against each other publicly, and he was the one who lost face the most—but due to the prestige of Grand Duke Karl, it was difficult for him to stop Teresa's willfulness.

So he can only rely on Aigron to solve this problem.

It doesn't matter, Egron is willing to cooperate with Metternich this time--now that his plan has seen the light of day, he doesn't want to make extra troubles.

"Since you have reached this point, I can only fulfill your wish." Aigron nodded, indicating that he agreed to the request, "I will find a way to restrain Her Highness Teresa's remarks, but —Does Archduke Karl agree?"

"Of course you have... From my point of view, Grand Duke Karl has already agreed, but he hasn't said it publicly. Otherwise, why would he bother you so much?" Metternich looked at the young man, He laughed sullenly, "Your Highness, I am very glad that since we met last time, you have indeed cooperated with my wish, and I am very satisfied with your progress. So - please continue to obey our will, and you will find that It's all worth it."
