Eagle’s Glory

Even Aigron himself could not express his feelings when he left Her Royal Highness.

Being able to hug her twice, of course, was an unparalleled comfort experience, but the words of His Highness before parting made him feel heavy.

How much does Her Royal Highness know about her own plot? Is it a vague premonition, or a tacit understanding? At least she was never bewitched by her acting skills, believing that she could not be satisfied with living in seclusion as a rich prisoner in this palace.

But no matter how much she knew, she never denounced herself anyway, but did everything she could to satisfy her wishes, hoping to influence herself and let her stay by her side willingly.

He was so moved by this feeling that he felt a little guilty.

But no matter how moved and guilty, his plan will not change.

This is also the price that must be paid for victory.

With this unrepentant certainty, he returned to his dwelling, when he found that his guardian, Count Dietrichstein, was already waiting for him.

"Your Highness, you are finally back." Upon seeing Aegron, the count greeted him with awe as usual.

"Is there anything to say, sir?" he asked.

When he was young, the guardian appointed by His Majesty the Emperor hardly ever left his side, but although he is getting older, the earl is gradually withdrawing from his life. Maybe he will be free before himself. .

"The last time you asked me, after a lot of struggle, I finally got an ideal result." The count replied in a low voice, "Prime Minister Metternich agreed to suspend your enlistment."

He had asked the Count to apply for an extension of his enlistment before, and the Count agreed to his request after some consideration.

It seems that he did not make empty promises, but did it seriously.

"Thank you for your help." He quickly thanked the other party.

However, the earl just shook his head, and did not look relaxed.

"You don't need to thank me. I don't have the right to decide this matter. I just conveyed a request for you. The final decision is made by Your Excellency the Prime Minister. In addition, he did not unconditionally satisfy your request."

"Then what does he want from me?" Agron asked rhetorically.

"In a few days, on September 5th, it will be Grand Duke Karl's 55th birthday. His Majesty will hold a large banquet for him." The count replied calmly, "His eldest daughter, Princess Teresa, will also be here for the first time. Stepping into the social world, Her Majesty, like her father, hopes to add glory to Her Royal Highness with a grand ceremony."

Agron probably understood something.

"Do you want me to please Your Highness Teresa?"

"Indeed." The Count nodded. "To be more specific, you accompany her to dance the first two dances. I hope you can show a good enough performance. After all, the first appearance is of great significance to Princess Teresa... She will definitely want to make fond memories."

"This is a daunting task! If I mess up His Royal Highness's coming-of-age ceremony, what terrible consequences should I bear? Archduke Karl can't spare me." Aegron couldn't help laughing.

"So you should take the serious attitude you should and deal with this task well." When the count said this, his always very serious expression couldn't help but loosen, and looked at the young man with a half-smile, " Objectively speaking, it's a pretty enviable job - at least the young people who are there will hate you."

"I didn't expect that he would make such a condition." Aigron couldn't help shrugging, "It's really strange, Metternich seems to be more anxious than me about my life-long event!"

"Since ancient times, elders are more anxious than children." The Count corrected Aegron, and then lowered his voice, "His Royal Highness, I admit that this is a very obvious political consideration, not out of concern for you. But everything is You can see both sides, you won't lose anything by obeying his request, and it may even be very beneficial to you, right?"

The truth is indeed true, no matter what Metternich has planned, at least in this matter, he is not a complete victim. Aegron did not object to this request. He had made up his mind a long time ago, even if Xu and Wei Snake had a relationship with Archduke Karl first.

In addition, Teresa does not seem to be a willful and arrogant person, and even if you make friends temporarily, there will be no loss.

And he doesn't seem to have any capital to refuse now. After all, Metternich has just made a rare concession to himself, and he won't be so good at talking if he doesn't know each other.

"Then tell Metternich, I'm flattered." After he made up his mind, he solemnly agreed to the count, "Thanks to Archduke Karl and Princess Teresa who look up to me and give me the opportunity, I will try my best to accomplish this glorious event. mission."

"His Royal Highness, I congratulate you for making the right decision." Seeing the young man talking like this, the Earl couldn't help but feel happy, "Although there are not many days left to accompany you, but we have been getting along these years, it is inevitable that It will also be an unforgettable memory for me. Admittedly, you were in a difficult situation before, but I think God will take care of you in the end, and I sincerely hope that in the remaining days of my company with you, I can see with my own eyes that the times have worked for you, and Turn around and have a bright future.”

I do have a bright future, but not here - Aegron answered in his heart.

"I also wish you all the best in the future. If I really turn around in the future, I will also repay you for taking care of me." He greeted the other party kindly.

Although this guardian was quite strict with himself when he was a child, at least he treated him sincerely, so he still had some respect in his heart.

As for him monitoring himself, that's all his responsibility, so what's so strange?

After finishing speaking, Aigron originally planned to go back to his bedroom, but he found that the earl did not seem to have left.

"Sir, do you have anything else to explain?" He was a little strange.

"There is one more thing, although it is not very important, I still want to mention it to you." The count's expression was a little embarrassed. "This time it's not official, but purely private."

"Please tell me." Agron nodded.

"You seem to have forgotten one thing." The count cleared his throat, "When you were injured, Her Royal Highness Sophie sent her maid to take care of you. It is undeniable that she took care of you very carefully. I'm very grateful to her for her help that you were able to reply so quickly. But... your injuries are fully healed now, so there is no reason for her to stay with you, or send her back ?"

What? !

Aegron was shocked and angry.

Chanel was the first reliable follower he found here, and he was also an indispensable helper. How could he retreat at this time?

Seeing his expression, the count seemed to have guessed something.

"You... are you reluctant?"

"Yes, I can't bear it, I don't want her to leave for the time being." Aigron replied immediately, "Actually, I'm used to her meticulous care. If I don't have her now, I think I'll be very sad..."

"Really? Careful?" The Count smiled knowingly. "Well, I think you are at this age. Even if you want to taste that feeling, there is nothing inappropriate. I can understand it."

Seeing the Count's strange and ambiguous smile, Aigron was a little bit dumbfounded.

However, it doesn't seem strange that he even came up with such a guess.

It would be better to say that I often stay with Chanel, and Chanel is so docile and considerate, there must be similar guesses in the eyes of others.

"But... don't forget, she's just a maid, and she's so humble that even being compared with you would detract from your dignity, even for Her Royal Highness Theresa." While he was still thinking, the Count continued. After going on, "Since you are ready to make good relations with His Royal Highness Theresa, it is best to deal with this trivial matter before that, so as to avoid some unexpected situations that will make His Highness unseemly."

Like His Royal Highness Sophie, the earl is quite contemptuous when he mentions Chanel. This is not intentional, but a common sense as if it were a matter of course. After all, the feudal hierarchy has not completely died out in this era, even if the birthplace of the great revolution. France, is it not still ruled by kings and nobles?

Although he knew that the count was planning for himself, Aigron suddenly felt a little resentful for Chanel.

This is his first follower, and he is so faithful and reliable, yet he is so despised by others?

One day she'll be a duchess, jumping on top of the vast majority, and then see how you despise her.

"I see, your suggestion does make sense." He agreed vaguely, "If one day, Princess Teresa and I really come to that point, then I will send Chanel away with dignity. It will not bring any trouble to Her Royal Highness. As it is too early, everything has not yet begun, so there is no need to be so diligent, right?"

He knew in his heart that his promises meant no promises, after all, he had only used Teresa as a cover.

He can write as much as he wants.

The count pondered for a moment, and finally nodded helplessly.

"Since you think so, then let's do it first, but I suggest you don't be too kind to her, otherwise she may have unreasonable thoughts, and it will be troublesome to deal with it. In addition, I hope you will be more restrained, after all You're young, but you still have a lot of schedule..."

Aigron endured the embarrassment and agreed indifferently, "Don't worry, I will."

"Okay, then I won't bother you." The count finally saluted and retired this time.

After saying goodbye to the Count, Aigron walked back to his room and finally saw Chanel again.

"His Royal Highness!" As soon as he saw Aegron, Chanel quickly put down his work and saluted him respectfully.

"Chanel, just now my guardian suggested that I send you back." Aigron didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the topic.

"What?" Chanel was so frightened that he was at a loss.

"Don't panic, it's okay, I've already perfunctory him." Aigron made a gesture to calm her down, "No one will force me to send you back, and I will never let you leave. You are An absolutely indispensable helper by my side.”

"His Royal Highness... You are so kind to me." Chanel was very moved after hearing his words.

"However, the earl's words also suggest a risk to me." Aigron fell into deep thought, "I can perfunctory other people who make similar requests. If His Royal Highness Sophie asks, I really have a hard time doing it..."

After all, Her Royal Highness Sophie is the "original owner" of Chanel. She sent Chanel here just to heal herself. If one day she remembered that Chanel's mission was completed, and asked Chanel to come back casually, it would be quite tricky.

Although His Highness has not remembered it yet, we must take precautions before it happens, so as not to be caught off guard when it really happens.

"Otherwise, I will pretend to be too hard to carry a pen while practicing swordsmanship in the future, and you will make a record for me. Then I insist that this is a habit, and I will be exhausted without your record - so you are indispensable. Now, His Royal Highness Sophie should not transfer you any time soon." After thinking for a while, Aigron came up with an idea, "I will dictate, you can record it, can you do it?"

"His Royal Highness, I have no similar experience, and my education is average." Chanel looked at the boy firmly, "But...if it is your order, I will definitely be able to do it. I will do it with all my strength!"

Well, it seems that fanaticism is also good, at least it can bring the motivation to learn. Aegron thought.

"Okay, I believe you." He looked at Chanel with a smile, "We can practice as soon as possible."
