Eagle’s Glory

Seeing that he was so attentive, Princess Maria's eyes softened a little.

"It seems that you still have some humanity."

She took the letter and didn't open it to read it, but put it aside and looked at him again.

"To be honest, since you fled, I have lost contact with Sophie for a long time. Although I sent her some letters, they were all like a dead sea, and there was no response, so I can't guarantee the letter you sent me. It's time to deliver it to her."

"It is a great relief for me that you are willing to help us, how can I expect more?" Aegron sighed sadly, "Let the rest be left to God, I believe in God I wouldn't have the heart to torture her like this."

Because she didn't know that Agron had found her mother as a helper, Maria felt even more sympathetic when she saw his depressed appearance.

She waved the folding fan in her hand unconsciously to ease the anxiety in her heart, and then she took the initiative to speak and took it all down, "Okay, it's better to rely on me than to rely on God, don't worry, I will do it. As long as I insist on and She contacted, and sooner or later the Austrian authorities would give in - I really don't believe that the Austrian emperor could have made her never contact her relatives? No matter what Sophie did wrong, or how much he angered him, he didn't Right to do so!"

"Thank you so much!" Aegron suddenly showed a reassuring smile, and then complimented the other party, "You are not only beautiful, but also compassionate and affectionate. Whether you can do it or not, I will always be grateful to you and remember every word you said to me."

"Hahahaha...!" Maria couldn't help laughing again after being amused by him, and her smooth hair under the hat also swayed gently, "You are the first person to say that to me, which is really surprising."

Before Aigron could ask her further, she immediately changed the subject, "Did you and my sister chat like this at the beginning? You made her happy with your words and rhetoric, and finally made her fall in love with you?"

Aigron felt embarrassed for a while, and almost blushed, but he quickly answered the other party seriously, "You are mistaken about this, the chat between us should be much easier and simpler, there is no red tape between us, nor What compliments are needed for embellishment, she knows she's like Cinderella in me - and I know I'm irreplaceable in her. We joke with each other and share each other's secrets, although in the end I'm a Forced to choose to leave, but in those happy times, we were very close."

Maria didn't sneer anymore, but frowned slightly, as if thinking about something.

Aegron's reaction to her was a little strange, but he was not good at interrupting each other's thinking, so he just stood there, and the two of them stared at each other in the warm spring breeze.

I have to say that the way she was thinking silently was very similar to Sophie's way of thinking about how to write after picking up the brush. For a moment, Aigron was a little dazed.

After a while, Maria finally seemed to come to her senses, and she laughed again. "Then, Duke Reichstedt, do you admit that I have been of great help to you?"

"Yes, I have said it twice." Aigron replied quickly.

"So are you willing to do something in return for me?" Maria continued to ask with a smile.

Aegron was stunned for a moment. From the other party's gentle voice and inscrutable smile, he really couldn't guess what the other party wanted to do, but he instinctively felt that something was wrong.

But even if something was wrong in his heart, he couldn't back down right now - otherwise, it would appear that what he said just now was a lie.

"I'm very happy." So he nodded immediately to confirm, "I would love to have the opportunity to repay you, please speak up."

"You don't have to look so panicked, don't worry, I'm a tolerant and considerate person, and I never like to make others embarrassed—" Maria's mouth curled up slightly, and she showed that slightly sarcastic smile, " You are an excellent poet, I have known this for a long time - through my sister, I have read your works, and you have written her many poems in praise of her... By the way, you have given to Princess Teresa Did you write it?"

"Written." She suddenly mentioned Teresa, which caught Aegron a little off guard, and he nodded with a guilty conscience. "Teresa is also quite satisfied."

"Well then, will you be willing to dedicate a poem to me at our dinner time?" asked Princess Maria.

Agron froze for a moment. "dinner?"

"Yeah, is it weird?" Maria asked. "Is there anything to blame for my visit to my sister and dinner with her?"

There is no problem in theory, but in reality, there is a big problem - I and Teresa and his wife are also today's distinguished guests, and naturally they will also be at the table.

Agron frowned.

He probably understood what he meant.

"Do you think this is very difficult?" Seeing his silence, Maria asked leisurely, "Is there so little time for you that you find it difficult to create?"

"Not because of this—it's not hard for me to improvise even though I don't have much time." Aigron shook his head slightly, "but because my wife Teresa was there, by any standard. Look, it's not appropriate to compose a poem for you in front of her."

"What's inappropriate?" Maria asked, seemingly ignorant.

"With your wisdom, you should be able to figure it out." Aegron looked at each other calmly, "You think about it, we are a couple, and then I deliberately skipped her and wrote poems for other women during the dinner. , wouldn't she be angry? What's more, you are still with..."

"What's more, I look exactly like Sophie. She will feel uncomfortable when she sees it, because she will remember the conflict with my sister before, right?" Before Aigron could finish speaking, Maria interrupted him. if. "You're worried that if you're courting me in her presence, she'll go crazy with rage, don't you?"

Aegron was at a loss for words, because that was indeed what he was worried about.

As long as he imagined that scene for a moment, he shuddered a little.

It's not that Teresa will be furious -- quite the contrary, Aigron knows she's self-righteous, and will definitely not embarrass everyone by throwing a hysterical temper when everyone is there.

But, deep down, she would never pretend that nothing happened.

Just because he knew, Aegron tried his best to avoid such a scene from happening.

"Since you have already guessed it, there is no need for me to explain anything more - yes, that's what I think." Aegron nodded, then looked at the other party sincerely, "Your Highness, you are right now. I have grace, and I am willing to do my best to repay it, and it is totally irrelevant to dedicate a poem to you, but I ask you not to deliberately embarrass me and choose a time to embarrass everyone."

Maria's expression was very indifferent, and she couldn't see any joy or anger, but judging from the light flashing in her eyes, she was definitely not happy at this time.

"What, is it my fault that I have grown into what I am now? Just because I look the same as my sister, I need to respect Princess Teresa, and I need to consider her feelings all the time? Different, but a arrogant, mean and rude person?"

"Of course she's not such a person, but we also have to look at the occasion, don't we?" Aegron was also a little impatient, so his tone became a little stiff, "I know you have no responsibility, but as a husband, of course I You have to take care of her emotions, and you can't block her face to face."

He is also a person who has experienced the world, so it can be seen from Maria's tone that what Maria cares most about is not "poems" at all, but embarrassing Teresa in person and humiliating her by herself.

She and Teresa had never met, so where did such fiery hostility come from? Aigron was a little confused.

Are you angry because your sister was robbed of her sweetheart by Teresa? After thinking about it, Aigron could only think of this reason.

Such "sister love" is really touching, but when I am a client, I feel a little uncomfortable.

Aegron's tone was very firm, unwilling to make any concessions.

Seeing him like this, Maria frowned slightly and became even more annoyed.

It was the Teresa who brought herself and her sister to this point...

She held the folding fan so tightly in her hand that her originally pale palms lost their blood.

"You can do whatever you want in front of me just now, but you said no to me in the blink of an eye. It shows that you are really just rhetoric." She said coldly, "Besides, you are suddenly pretending to be a loyal husband at this time. Now, it really surprises me—let alone how you treated my sister before, what did you do when we first met? Is that what a faithful husband should do?"

Sure enough, she found out about that matter... Aegron complained secretly in his heart.

When he first saw her, he was secretly rejoicing at his "harvest", but he didn't expect to be retributed so quickly.

"At that time I was confused for a while so I couldn't help it, please forgive me—" He could only choose to apologize.

"This is not something that can be revealed by a few verbal apologies, right? In my opinion, this is offending an unmarried woman, and she is also the princess of your country. Is this something you should do? ?" Princess Maria was still unforgiving, "How about we let my sister and Princess Teresa judge and let them judge whether what your faithful husband is doing is appropriate or not?"

Just because she caught Aegron's painful foot, her tone became more aggressive, and Aegron was also very angry.

Not only because of the other party's tone, but also because of the condescending attitude - which reminded him of the days he experienced.

He has put aside all these nightmares. Since he fled from Austria, he has established his own power, and everyone around him respects him. Even after he came to Bavaria, His Majesty the King also treated him because of his requests. Courtesy, he hasn't been treated like this for a long time.

"If that's the case, then we might as well clarify--" Aegron asked with a stern face, "what do you want?"

"Didn't I make it very clear? Either compose a poem for me at dinner, or let your wife comment on what happened to me - I don't care which one, you can choose freely." Maria sneered He replied, "Look, you can choose."

"Are you threatening me?" Agron was completely angry, almost gritted his teeth. "If you want me to write a poem for you, let alone ten lines, why bother me like this? What kind of fun can you get by deliberately making everyone unhappy? I ask you to raise your hand for the last time, and I will Thank you very much."

"However you understand it, I have the right to do this as a victim anyway." Maria replied calmly, "You seem to be very unaccustomed to others treating you like this? Then you can see clearly today that you can't order it. I, can't interfere with my actions, I helped you out of pity, even if I don't claim to be a benefactor, I'm not obliged to obey your will - on the contrary, you are asking me now!"

Aigron could clearly feel that Maria was deliberately irritating himself, and she really succeeded, and now he is angry.

His heart is beating faster, and the blood flow is also accelerating, and if he wants to make a move now, it will almost certainly be as fast as wind and thunder.

There are only two people alone in this garden now, and if he wants, he can manipulate her as much as he wants, and even tear it up on the spot with ease - no one can stop him.

Perhaps feeling the vicious aura emanating from him, Maria took a step back with a little fear, but then she realized that she could not show weakness, so she stood still, and then raised her head and stared at the young man in front of her, as if in Waiting for his response, he seemed to be provocatively showing that he was not afraid at all.

Time was passing by slowly, and Aegron stepped gently. Although his steps seemed slow, he was unexpectedly fast. Before Maria could respond, he reached out and embraced him. Maria's waist.

Maria instinctively leaned back in horror, trying to break free from his hand, but Aigron's hand was so tight that he dragged her back directly.

In this way, the two face each other and can almost feel each other's breath.

"Stop struggling, I don't want you to get hurt." Aegron said softly.

He was so angry just now that he wanted to do it - but seeing the same face as Sophie, and recalling the time they spent together, he felt that his anger was gradually dissipating.

"I'm sorry, I apologize again for my previous offense." Agron forcibly pulled her into his arms, then hugged her, and continued, "You're right, I really have no right to interfere with you. but I will not follow your orders to make choices, you can do whatever you want, and I accept the consequences of any choices you make."

Then, he closed his eyes slightly, enjoying the gentleness he was used to in the slightly different fragrance.

It's been offended anyway, and it won't embarrass yourself any more.

After a moment, he opened his arms, nodded as an apology, and turned away.

Now that he has decided to accept the reality, he has nothing to fear or scruples, and there is a way to solve everything anyway.

Maria seemed to have been frightened by his rude behavior just now.
