Eagle’s Glory

The count's last words made Aegron quite puzzled, but no one explained to him, and the next few days were calm and nothing happened.

The Luisas didn't come to him again, which Aigron didn't care about and even felt relieved; but Princess Sophie never came to him, which made him a little uncomfortable.

Since the princess came to Schönbrunn Palace, although the two of them did not meet every day, they had never met for several days in a row, and the ominous meaning represented by this made Aegron a little uneasy.

It seems that his actions that night made Her Royal Highness really angry...

Aegron began to think about how to find a chance to meet Her Royal Highness and apologize to her in order to make her change her mind.

Fortunately, his worst fears did not become a reality. On this evening, Her Royal Highness's maid finally ran over and conveyed Her Royal Highness's invitation.

Aigron breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurried to the outside of Her Royal Highness's bedroom.

He didn't wait long, and soon, Her Royal Highness the Princess came out.

Today's Her Royal Highness is still youthful and moving, but unlike her usual luxurious clothes, she is only wearing a light yellow tight wool dress that is popular among the women today. This dress has large lanterns and short sleeves on the shoulders, revealing a long He also had fair and round arms, and velvet gloves on his hands; a bun on his hair, leaving a few strands on both sides of the forehead, moccasins with floral ornaments on the skirts, and hanging around the slender neck A pearl necklace of ordinary color was worn, and the others wore no decorations.

Her Royal Highness, who was dressed simply, seemed to be a different person—or rather, it was like a little woman from the Bourgeois family who had just been married.

"What are you doing in a daze?" Looking at Aegron's dazed look, the princess asked expressionlessly.

Although her tone was a little cold, Aegron felt relieved... After all, this was the first time she had heard her speak in a few days.

As long as she took the initiative to speak up, it meant that there was hope for a solution to the previous turmoil.

"His Royal Highness, I'm sorry, I'm a little lost. Your new outfit dazzles me." He quickly complimented.

"You will only waste your precious time by saying such boring words." Her Royal Highness frowned, "Why don't you hurry up?"

"What?" Aigron didn't quite understand.

"Aren't you very clever at ordinary times? Why did you suddenly start to be confused again?" Her Royal Highness reached out her hand, wanting to squeeze his face as usual, and then quickly reacted again, putting her hand down in the air.

"Didn't you ask me yourself? You want to go to the theater, and I'll take you there today."

"So that's it..." Aegron suddenly realized, and then was a little moved.

He didn't expect that in the past few days, Her Royal Highness the Princess did not reveal any rumors to finish this matter.

Even though he was so angry with himself, he still fulfilled his wish meticulously...

He was moved and ashamed in his heart, and at last he was speechless, so he could only bow his head and thank him sincerely.

"Thank you, Your Highness... I really don't know how I should repay you."

"Stop talking nonsense like this, and change your clothes quickly." The princess gave him a sideways glance, and then motioned for the maid to take him to change.

Aegron obediently followed the maid to the changing room, and then the maid handed over the clothes that had already been prepared.

In this era, as in other eras, men's clothing is much simpler than women's clothing. He wears a long black coat, a white turtleneck shirt, a thin tie, and gray short boots on his feet. A black velvet hat.

After completing this change, Aigron looked in the mirror and found that he was like a young master of a rich businessman who was ignorant of the world.

With a strange mood, he followed the maid out.

As soon as he walked out of the door, Her Royal Highness's eyes moved again immediately, and carefully looked at Aegron from head to toe.

Aigron just wanted to ask her if she was satisfied, when Her Royal Highness the Princess looked away again.

"Let's go!"

In this way, under the leadership of Her Royal Highness the Princess, they came to the front square of the palace and got on the carriage, while the entourage, including Chanel and Captain Foresty, who was in charge of the security work, also sat on the other side. carriage.

When the twilight gradually fell, these ordinary-looking carriages drove out of the palace gate.

Schönbrunn Palace is located on the southwestern outskirts of Vienna and is very close to the city, so it is easy to drive quietly into the city of Vienna under the cover of night.

Although it wasn't the first time he came to Vienna, Aigron couldn't help but feel a little excited at the moment.

After all, this is the first time he has come here with the help of his own will, maybe this means his first step towards freedom.

The time has come to August, and it is the season that begins to turn from midsummer to autumn. The cool wind is constantly pouring into the carriage of the carriage through the window, blowing his face and beckoning him.

Yeah... Freedom seems so close at hand, as if you just need to take one more step and you can do whatever you want.

If I jump out now, will I be able to escape directly?

Looking at the lights on the streets on both sides and the people coming and going, Aigron suddenly had an idea.

No, no...not impulsive.

Aegron tried his best to suppress his gradually messy breathing, and resolutely pinched this unrealistic thought away.

Although there were only Her Royal Highness and himself in the carriage, there were several guards behind him, as well as his own swordsmanship teacher.

Besides, what if they escaped their control? He had no planned escape route, no one in charge of coordinating, or even no means of escape. He was completely smeared.

If you do this, in just a few hours, cavalry will be patrolling everywhere outside the city of Vienna, and the police in the city will search from house to house, and you will have nowhere to escape.

And if he is caught, then he will definitely face extremely severe punishment, and there will never be a similar opportunity in the future.

Therefore, now is not the time to run away. No matter how sweet and tempting it looks, the fruit of freedom is definitely poisonous and must not be eaten rashly.

It's okay, I've been waiting for more than ten years, and I'm not afraid to wait for a while... With a firm determination, the young man gradually calmed himself down.

Then, he looked at Princess Sophie who was sitting beside him.

Since getting into the carriage, Her Royal Highness has not spoken, but just stared out the window with a stern face. She should still be angry about what happened before.

"Your Highness, thank you." With sincere gratitude, Aigron seemed to say to himself, "I will never forget your kindness to me."

Her Royal Highness did not answer, as if she had not heard anything.

In the silence, the carriage crossed the Vienna River along the bridge, then along Mariahilfstrasse and Linzstrasse, through wide and narrow streets, and finally came to Hernalsstraße.

The end of the road was the Hernals Cemetery, the final destination for most of the citizens of Vienna, and the carriages, of course, did not lead in this direction. They turned northeast and stopped at the gate of a theater.

This theater does not look big, but the location is quite convenient. Not far from it is the Vienna Observatory, and from the top of the theater, you can see the Hofburg Palace, the old palace in the center of the city. The palace is hidden in the surrounding trees and grass, and only the lights of the stars can make people vaguely see its magnificent outline.

Nights are always the busiest time in Vienna, and the theatre is always full of people, and this time was no exception.

In order not to disturb the others, the carriages stopped in the alleys in the distance, and then Her Royal Highness took Agron along the street to the theater, Chanel followed the two of them, while the others Then he followed far behind, so as not to disturb the Princess Yaxing.

Right now, just before the opening, the two walked into the theater side by side, and the people around them either didn't care, or looked at them and continued chatting to pass the last time.

Princess Sophie frowned slightly. She didn't like the noisy environment, let alone the stuffy air inside, so she looked around and found the ticket office of the theater.

"Sir, I want to book a box." She said directly to the ticket salesperson.

Although it seemed to be a discussion, Her Royal Highness inadvertently brought a commanding tone. "We want the best view."

The conductor glanced at the three people on the opposite side and estimated their clothes. "Don't be kidding, miss, the boxes are all reserved."

"Call your manager here!" said Princess Sophie impatiently. "I want to pack a box!"

Perhaps shocked by Her Royal Highness, the conductor's eyes widened in surprise.

Then, he said something to the person next to him.

Soon, a middle-aged man hurried over.

"Hello, ma'am." He took off his hat to Princess Sophie, "I just heard from my person, are you planning to book a box?"

"Yes." Sophie nodded, then emphasized again, "We want the best."

The manager looked at them suspiciously, "How long are you going to pack?"

"A year." Princess Sophie thought for a while, then replied. "I heard him say that there is no more? If not, let's change one."

"Yes, there are, but the price is not cheap..." the manager replied.

"How much?" Princess Sophie asked impatiently.

"About 2,000 Gulden." The manager casually said a price, "We have a lot of distinguished guests here..."

"Okay, give it to him." Princess Sophie said impatiently to Chanel behind.

Just accepted the price right away!

The manager looked at the three people in astonishment, unable to figure out who they were.

[Austria’s currency system has changed a lot due to the changes in modern history. At the same time, due to many government financial crises, the official coinage has been devalued several times. Generally speaking, the main currency in circulation is a kind of currency called Gulden. The silver coin contains about 11.1 grams of silver, and 1 gulden silver coin is equivalent to 60 copper coins named Kreuzer. This is the currency system that the protagonist lived in.

According to this silver content, 1 gulden silver coin is about 2.5 francs (the author converted it by himself, not guaranteed to be accurate).

After 1867, the Austrian Empire became the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the currency reform was carried out, the currency system was re-divided, the currency was re-minted, and the ratio of Gulden silver coins to Cruze copper coins was changed to 1:100, and at the same time, it was issued. A gold coin called Florin...

In short, these are too complicated. The plots involving Austrian currency in the works all use Gulden silver coins, and the purchasing power is calculated in francs, just sauce. 】
