Eagle’s Glory
Chapter 18: 18. Gossip
"We're sure to make better memories too!"
Seeing Aegron so excited, Princess Sophie couldn't help but smile.
"So are you happy? Now you're like a child again... Well, that's it, when we get there we will be Sophia Memmingen and Franz Memmingen, can you remember me? Well, don't make a mistake and embarrass me!"
"Well, I remember." Aegron bent over excitedly. "At that time, you will be my sister, and I will do whatever you ask me to do. I don't recognize anyone except you!"
"It's not serious again!" Princess Sophie glared at him. "I really don't know who you learned so eloquently from. Is this the national talent of the French?"
"Even if I have this national talent, I will only tell those who love me." Aegron replied solemnly. "His Royal Highness, I am willing to do things to please you because you have always treated me so kindly. I said this from the bottom of my heart. I just hate that I didn't say it nicely enough to make you unhappy."
"Oh, I really can't do anything about you." Seeing that she couldn't say she won the young man, Princess Sophie could only shrug her shoulders and gave up the idea of correcting him.
However, she scolds, but what woman doesn't like to listen to this kind of sweet talk? Especially when someone who has a deep affection for them said it.
In this way, the two returned to Aegron's residence while talking, laughing and chatting, and he was going to move the easel back to his room.
As soon as the door was opened, the maid Chanel hurried to the door.
"Your Highness!"
As soon as he saw that he was moving things, Chanel quickly greeted him and reached out to take the easel and drawing board.
"It's okay, let me do it myself." Aegron shook his head, "The oil painting is not dry yet, it would be a pity if it was accidentally damaged."
"Understood." Chanel obeyed the order and withdrew his hand, but he was always a little worried and kept looking at Aegron.
"Chanel, my body has recovered very well, such a little physical activity is not in the way." Aigron said with a smile, "You better help me clean up the place, I will hang the drawing board."
"Okay!" Chanel nodded, then neatly cleaned the corner of the wall, took down the hanging oil paintings and decorations, and helped Aegron put the easel and drawing board there.
Princess Sophie was on the sidelines until after they had cleaned up, she spoke to Chanel.
"Chanel, it looks like you are very considerate in taking care of His Highness."
Chanel stopped, looked at Her Royal Highness respectfully and replied, "Because of your order, I must take care of Her Royal Highness with all my heart."
"Is it just because of my order?" The princess smiled slightly, "I see that you seem quite happy, much happier than when you were by my side."
"..." Chanel paused for a moment, a little surprised and flustered, and suddenly didn't know how to answer.
"Don't panic, I'm just complimenting you. Your Highness is able to recover so quickly. You really deserve credit, and I will reward you in the future—thank you for doing your duty as a maid." Her Royal Highness continued to smile at her. "Go get me and His Highness some drinks. We've just been standing outside for a long time, and we're all thirsty."
"Yes." Chanel hurriedly exited the room with amnesty.
After Chanel left briefly, Princess Sophie turned to look at Aigron with a little playfulness in her eyes.
"His Royal Highness, why did you tell her this just now?" Of course Aigron knew that the other party had deliberately called Chanel just now, so he was a little puzzled.
"There's something wrong with her look at you." Princess Sophie replied.
For a moment, the horror made Aegron almost lose his temper, and even his breathing almost stopped.
What has Princess Sophie just discovered? Did something go wrong with your plan before it actually started?
"What... what do you mean?" he asked, forcing his composure.
"Don't you notice the look in her eyes when she looks at you?" Princess Sophie asked back, "That look is not the feeling that an ordinary servant should have towards his master, I can detect just by intuition that she has an abnormality towards you. Strong feelings - so, Aegron, you really belong, you can do this in just ten days..."
Her Royal Highness's tone was a bit strange, but it was difficult for Aegron to feel it for a while. Instead, he was worried about a more important question—how much did Her Royal Highness detect?
"Is that really the case?" He smirked, as if he didn't quite believe it, "Then why did she do this?"
"Although she is a maid, she is a young girl after all, and she is probably still dreaming of a prince." Princess Sophie replied with a smile, "This kind of thing is actually quite common outside, a maid wants to be with the master's young master. If something happens, and then use this to turn around and call the shots, at the worst, you can get a large amount of money as a reward and hush money... You have too little knowledge, so you think it's strange..."
Ah... a false alarm. Aegron breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
It seemed that although Her Royal Highness noticed that Chanel's attitude was a bit strange, she did not think about dangerous places, but instead thought about the most common situation in the world.
That's fine...
Although he was relieved, he didn't show it on the surface, instead he seemed a little confused and embarrassed.
"Then what should I do?"
"So, you look grown up, but you're still just a child..." Her Royal Highness raised her hand impatiently and pinched his ear, "Has she done anything unusual to you recently? Yes Didn't seduce you?"
"No... I didn't feel it." Aegron quickly shook his head. "She's very disciplined."
"That's good, she still has some self-knowledge." Princess Sophie nodded. "Look at her taking care of you so well, so let's do this recently. If she does anything wrong to you, tell me, and I will give her the education she deserves."
"What education...?" Aegron couldn't help but ask.
"This, you don't need to ask me~" The princess smiled, "She is one of the maids I brought from Bavaria, no one in Bavaria will remember her, and no one in Austria will care about her existence, I think She can do whatever she wants."
When referring to Chanel, Her Royal Highness's tone was flat and slightly contemptuous, as if discussing another creature.
Although she was very kind to him and almost responsive to her requests, the princess was a princess after all, and it was impossible for her to think so advanced that she regarded everyone as an equal. In her eyes, Chanel was only part of the dowry she brought to the Austrian Empire from the Kingdom of Bavaria, and she could dispose of it at will.
Thinking of this, Aegron felt a little pity.
"Hey, what do you imagine me to be? The Bloody Queen?" Seeing his complicated expression, Princess Sophie couldn't help but glared at him again, "If she really dares to mess around, I won't let people take it seriously. If she sinks to the bottom of the Danube, at most she will be reprimanded and fired, and she will be left to fend for itself..."
Her words were short and plain, but Aigron heard a flash of inspiration, and he remembered this sentence.
While they were talking about it, Chanel came in again, holding a tray with two cups of coffee on it.
The steaming coffee was placed on the table. The two sat on the sofa while looking at the scenery outside the window and chatting while drinking coffee. They spent another period of time in the afternoon comfortably. It was not until evening that Princess Sophie got up. Leave.
After she left, Chanel bent down to clear the table, but Aigron stopped her.
"Chanel, just now, Her Royal Highness the Princess became suspicious of you."
Chanel was startled, but not surprised.
"It seems so... No wonder she had that attitude towards me just now."
"However, her suspicion is not about our plan, but..." Aigron said that he was a little embarrassed. "She suspects that you want to seduce me and seek benefits."
"Ah! Ah?" Shanel suddenly exclaimed and lost his voice. After a while, his face turned red again, "His Royal Highness...Princess she...she..."
"It's all right now, but you have to pay attention in the future. If Her Royal Highness is suspicious, maybe others will be suspicious in the future." Aigron interrupted her, "I ask you a very important question, be honest. Answer me—does she know your background?"
"I don't know." Chanel shook his head, "In order to prevent us from being bullied and discriminated against, His Highness Eugene would help hide our identities when he adopted us. Later, when he was sent to be the maid of Her Royal Highness, no one cared. Where are my ancestors from..."
"That's good..." Aigron breathed a sigh of relief, then changed the subject. "You seem to be afraid of her?"
"It's better to say that you don't have to be afraid of her..." Chanel replied with a wry smile, "She's just being so kind to you, not to us... She's always been strict."
"Ah?" Aegron was greatly surprised, but he didn't realize that Her Royal Highness looked like this in the eyes of others.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not speaking ill of her, she's just strict with others, and doesn't deliberately bully others, and her reward to us is quite generous." Chanel whispered, "Besides, people like me are usually There is no chance to offend His Highness..."
Speaking of this, she seemed to think of something again, and continued, "Not only to those of us who followed her, but also to the rest of the palace, she was equally rude, even though she has only been here for more than two years. , but the female officials in the palace have been silent in front of her, and even her husband has been rehabilitated and obedient, no one dares to speak more, and almost no one in the palace dares to disobey her intentions. Those who do this will be severely punished immediately. Therefore, those who secretly hold grudges are rumored to be…”
"What do the rumors say?" Agron asked.
"She said she looked at you differently because she liked beautiful boys, just like the lady in "Don Juan"." Chanel blushed embarrassedly, "I haven't seen that thing so I don't know, but I don't think it's a nice thing to say..."
This year, although the great British poet Byron died in 1824, his long poem "Don Juan" has already become popular on the mainland. When the book opened, the 16-year-old protagonists Don Juan and Gui Woman Donna - Julia fornication, making the local high society uproar. Don Juan's story begins when Don Juan's mother sends him to travel to Europe for his son's safety.
With this allusion, it goes without saying that you can understand what the purpose is.
However, in the court, similar rumors and rumors are always indispensable, and you can't stop them if you want to.
"Then you... what do you think?" Aegron suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and asked again.
"Of course we won't take this kind of gossip seriously." Chanel shook his head first, but then lowered his head again, "But... seeing the usual interactions between Her Royal Highness the Princess and you, to be honest, I also believe it a little bit. Your feelings are extraordinary..."
puff hahaha
Agron couldn't help laughing.
Yes, everyone else is not blind, the two are usually so close, and Her Royal Highness the Princess treats herself with an extremely contrasting attitude. It would be strange if there were no rumors.
"Then... Does Her Royal Highness know?"
"No one dares to ask this, but I think... she should know, she knows everything in the palace." Chanel thought for a while, then replied.
So... even so, she didn't care, she still interacted with me nonchalantly, took care of me kindly, and never showed any negative emotions in front of herself.
Agron nodded slightly. "Okay, I see, thank you."
