Eagle’s Glory

Chapter 399: 23, willing to take the bait

"His Royal Highness, she... Did she plan to match you and me?"

Because of the feeling in his heart, Aegron blurted out, even though he knew the question was a bit rude.

When he was with Sophie, he wrote many poems and script lines to please Sophie.

It was Sophie who shared these with Maria. Unexpectedly, Maria took all the orders and was able to recite a few sentences on the spot.

He recalled now that Sophie was so nervous about her marriage to Teresa that she didn't want to see herself separated from her, so she had mentioned her twin sister marrying her.

However, at that time, I was thinking about escaping from Vienna, so I didn't take it to my heart at all.

What's more, it was the court's idea to match him. His Majesty the Emperor and Metternich had already made a decision at that time. Aigron felt that Sophie could not change the situation at all. This fact proved to be the case. If she did not escape at that time, Sophie would also. He could only watch helplessly as he and Teresa walked into the marriage hall.

With the series of events that followed, this idea has long since been turned into ashes and disappeared into the past, but now, the "twin sister" who has never met is sitting in front of him alive at this time.

Aigron couldn't help but secretly looked at Princess Maria again.

He clearly noticed that this face, which was almost identical to Sophie's, was full of shock and anger at this time, but it was still as beautiful and luxurious as the Sophie she remembered.

Oh, what a mysterious fate!

He almost never thought about his relationship with her, but Sophie had secretly linked their fates.

Although he didn't know what step Sophie had achieved, from Maria's description, she almost shared most of their past stories with her sister, even the poems and articles she wrote.

In other words, while she was unaware, she had already noticed herself.

Then comes the next question - how does she see herself?

Well, this is what I said at the beginning - "You really are an ungrateful and shameless person. Besides, you are still a scum who seduces your aunt."

Agron was not angry with this assessment, because it was basically true, but he couldn't help but wonder what would happen to her before these things happened, that is, before he fled Vienna and married Teresa. What about your sister's madness?

Before he could continue to think about it, Princess Maria finally regained her composure from her embarrassment.

"Yeah, so what? Am I going to think about it? Do you think I'd care about an empty king who has neither half the authority nor an inch of land?"

Aegron did not answer this question, but looked at the other party, and then questioned the other party.

"If that's the case, why do you want to read what this empty prince wrote, and even recite a long paragraph in front of me? Even if it's to satirize me, it's enough to show that you really didn't pay attention. "

"I'm usually bored and have some fun, can't I?" Maria asked rhetorically. "I have to say that your stuff is good to pass the time."

Well, there is no way to say that.

Aigron knew in his heart that Princess Maria's heart could not be untouched, otherwise she would not have to remember it so clearly, or even to see herself again, she just had to silently pretend that nothing happened, and then of course she couldn't think of it. When this happens, everything will be lost under the torrent of time.

"Fate is really mysterious, I really didn't expect such a fate." He smiled softly, and unconsciously brought a little pride, "Being able to write some works that allow you to pass the time or smile knowingly, this It is my honor... Looking back at the beginning, if I had not received the care and favor of His Highness Sophie, I would not have been able to write down my creations with peace of mind. I am extremely grateful to her, so I am also full of respect for you—because You are her sister and the one who can share her joys and sorrows."

"You are really proficient at this kind of rhetoric." Maria frowned, seeming to be a little annoyed. "Is that how you coaxed her in the first place, and then started step by step?"

"You can't call this coaxing, we are attracted to each other, we only have each other to comfort each other in the huge palace, I'm just a sad prisoner, she's just a marriage tool, we all hate each other's environment, Looking around, I found each other in the desert—"

With a little exasperation, Aegron seriously refuted the other party, "Then, we found in each other things we admired, all kinds of whimsy, witty one-liners, hilarious jokes... These things are nothing else. People have told us, we have no other people to talk to, so we can only talk to each other, and it all comes naturally, she paints for me, I write poems for her - then, Princess, I ask you, in this case Is there any reason why we can't be attracted to each other, and how can we not be together? I admit that fate did not arrange a good ending for us, but I don't want you to use these sarcasms to wear out the magnificent colors in my memory."

Although Aegron deliberately beautified when he mentioned this affair, it was not wrong in essence, and it was true.

He really loved Sophie. This love was a mixture of gratitude for her taking care of him, happiness for being able to find a protector, and longing for maternal love, but what really touched his heart was the sound of joy when the two of them got along Laughter, that unreserved joy and excitement.

His remarks, full of nostalgia and affection, like reciting poetry, also left Princess Maria speechless.

"Even if you are so eloquent, the facts can't be changed. At best, you have only changed from a shameless person to a talented shameless person." After a while, she spoke again, "I don't want to blindly accuse you. What, I have shared some of your works from my sister, and I am used to hearing her compliments to you, so I inevitably have some expectations for you, even if you do so many **** things later, even if As soon as you saw me... you did such an offensive act, and I still wish you the best of luck in the future."

She said so, but Aegron had clearly felt that her attitude towards herself had changed slightly, and her words were no longer so sharp.

This is a good phenomenon, which shows that the barrier between the two people at the beginning has worn down a bit.

So now is the time to continue the pursuit.

"You insist on saying that you have never moved on your sister's proposal, and I think it is very normal. After all, what capital did I have to get your favor at that time... But I want to ask, how did you reply to Su? Your Highness Fei." He asked cautiously, "Why does she insist on sharing me with you? It stands to reason that with her temper, if you scolded her harshly, she would not recommend herself to you again. idea?"

With his sudden blow, Princess Maria, who was already a little uneasy, suddenly changed her demeanor—obviously, he hit the nail on the head.

"How do I know what she is crazy about!" She blushed slightly, and then roared at Aegron angrily, "She is such a shameless guy, she has been like this since she was a child, aren't you used to it? "

Aigron smiled slightly, "You can't say that about your sister!"

He had already understood that Princess Maria was definitely not "unintentional" at that time, on the contrary, she should have been very interested in her sister's proposal.

Only in this way can she explain what she has done before and now.

Looking back now, Maria at that time might have dreamed of something every time she communicated with her sister, right? In the end, however, fate gave her an unexpected gift.

That is to say, when she got the news that she came to Bavaria, she came over and deliberately created the opportunity to see herself, because she was lost and unwilling?

She wanted to meet the young man who had hoped to be her husband, and to make sure that she was different from the one she longed for, so she felt regretful in her heart.

Agron felt that he had touched the truth.

Well, what happened before has been figured out by him, so what about after?

Should this be the end of the story?

He doesn't want to.

On the contrary, he felt that since a seed had been planted in Maria's heart, it was not impossible for the seed to germinate and blossom later.

"Compared to the pain you have caused her, what is it that I slandered here?" Just as Aegron was pondering, Maria retorted, "Now you are so proud of yourself, and she can only Enjoying the misery in Vienna."

"I will find a way to change all this. Since the disaster was caused by me, I am also obliged to put it down." Aigron replied solemnly, "Your Highness Princess Maria, are you willing to believe in my determination? If so, Would you like to help me?"

This scorching gaze made Maria avoid it subconsciously, but something seemed to be touched in her heart.

"You... what are you going to do?" she asked subconsciously.

"It depends on your plans." Aegron replied.

"What's your plan?" Princess Maria was puzzled.

"Are you going to stand by and watch the suffering of Her Royal Highness Sophie, and just enjoy the joy of standing on the shore and mocking me; or are you going to pull her and give her a little respite from the dire waters? So that she can relieve the pain of her soul?" Iger Long stood up, then continued to look at each other with aggressive eyes, "I think you don't want to choose the former, right? You are twin sisters who grew up together, sharing and cherishing each other's likes and interests, and even having the same heart, Pray for each other's fate, when she is in distress, are you really willing to watch it like this?"

Aegron's implicit accusation made Maria frown tightly.

"Of course I don't want to watch, but what can I do! That's the Emperor of the Habsburgs! How can I change his decision?"

"Yes, you can't do anything now, but it definitely doesn't mean you can't in the future." Aegron nodded, and then replied energetically, "As long as you cooperate with me, there will still be some solutions, although I have the The resources are also limited, not enough for the Habsburg emperor to make concessions for me, but I believe that one day I can do it... Do you believe that I can create miracles?"

Facing the young man's proud and burning gaze, Princess Maria was a little lost.

If other kings and grandsons said this, it would only make people feel ridiculous, but when he said it, there was an inexplicable infectious and persuasive power-after all, he had proved himself with practical actions.

If so, you can believe it.

"Then... what can I do?" she asked in a trembling voice.

Seeing her being so pleased with himself, Aegron couldn't help laughing in his heart.

okay.

Although he didn't make Princess Maria forget what he did right away, he created an opportunity - an opportunity for the two to continue to bond.

"First of all, can you help me contact His Highness Sophie?" He made another request that seemed a little familiar, "I can't contact her directly, but no one should allow her to read my sister's letter."

He deliberately concealed the fact that he had written a letter to Sophie through his mother, in order to highlight his desire and make her feel "obliged."

Sure enough, Maria nodded in agreement with him after a little consideration. "Okay, I can help with this, but it's hard for me to prepare in a hurry now. It's time to delay today..."

"Then if I still want to see you, where should I go?" he asked forcefully.

Maria raised her head suddenly.

Then, she suddenly picked up the folding fan to cover her face, and giggled.

"Okay! You really do! All of a sudden I understand why you've made a career out of it."

Aigron was a little embarrassed, but he still looked at each other with firm eyes.

"Okay." Maria nodded, "You must be visiting my eldest sister—the widow of Prince Eugene, right?"

"That's natural." Agron nodded.

"Then let's meet with her next time." Princess Maria seemed to have made a decision, her tone became lighter, and she was no longer disturbed. "You can decide the exact time for yourself. Anyway, I must have known before you got there."

Aigron's mood also became very good.

He got the chance to meet Princess Maria next time.

Moreover, no matter how he develops with the other party in the future, at least he has got a future helper, and she doesn't look like she will stand by for Sophie.

He was thrilled by today's surprise, but it was clear that the time had run out.

"Then come here today."

Princess Maria stood up again, then curtseyed to say goodbye to Aegron, who also hurriedly bowed to her.

Before leaving, Maria took another deep look at the young man, her eyes a little complicated.

"Duke Leichstedt, you are a smart person and can guess a lot of things, but I don't want you to speak so sharply in the future. After all, some things are in the past..."

Of course Aigron knew what she meant—no one likes having someone say to themselves "you nearly became my wife" all the time.

"Okay, don't worry, I'm just talking nonsense today because I'm excited, please don't take it to heart and forget my offense..." Aigron quickly smiled and spread his hands, "His Royal Highness, I look forward to meeting with you. See you next time."

Next, Aigron seemed to suddenly think of something.

"By the way, when you wrote your letter, could you mention Corristel—?"

"What Kristel?" Maria frowned, then asked back.

Aegron did it deliberately.

He wanted to find out how deep the communication between Sophie and her was.

It seems that Sophie did not tell Maria about this matter - but it is not surprising that Sophie did not know that she was pregnant until she escaped, and after she escaped, her external correspondence would definitely be strictly controlled, so she did not know that she was pregnant. Opportunity to inform his twin sister about this.

Besides, with what he knew about Sophie, even if there was a chance, she probably wouldn't tell Maria.

This is also just right, if Maria knew that she was not only sorry for Sophie, but also for her illegitimate daughter, God knows what she would think.

"A man who helped us." Of course he would not tell Maria the truth, but chose to be vague.

"Let's talk later."

Princess Maria became serious again, and she closed her folding fan and turned away, disappearing between the fountain and the flowerbed.

Aegron looked at her disappearing back in disappointment, and then sighed.

Seeing this woman exactly like Sophie, his heart was easily moved.

But in any case, he still retains basic sanity, knowing where he is now and what he has to do.

And where he couldn't see, Princess Maria also came to the corner of the garden.

Her expression changed from the cloudy cloud before, but she was obviously relieved, and her steps became lighter.

"His Royal Highness, how is it...?" a maid asked her tremblingly.

This maid was arranged by Maria to watch the wind just now, and apparently performed the same task as Andre Davout and others.

"Hmph." Maria shrugged angrily, "This little guy, what a bastard!"

Then she changed her words again, "But it's the same as expected."

The maid didn't dare to agree, she just nodded slightly, ""

"Then have you made an appointment with him next?" she asked again.

Maria nodded, then replied slightly sarcastically, "We made an appointment to help my sister."

"His Royal Highness Sophie is indeed very difficult..." The maid nodded sympathetically.

"Who sympathizes with her! She was afraid that I would seize her beloved little lover, and she wanted to have more fun for a few days while there was still time, so she dragged it on and on, she was greedy for love without any scruples, just Like a terminally ill patient with no tomorrow!" At this point, Maria's tone became snarky again, showing no respect for her sister at all.

"Because of her selfishness and greed, each of us has suffered enough! How stupid!" The more Maria said, the more annoyed she became. "Hmph, I wish she would continue to suffer a little more in Vienna! Let her repent of the punishment she has incurred because of her stupidity..."
