Eagle’s Glory

Chapter 11: 11. Repaying kindness?

After the maid Chanel recounted her life experience, Aigron finally let go of his guard and decided to believe her.

Chanel's account is at least logically sound, and her monstrous hatred is absolutely impossible to disguise - and even in the worst case, it doesn't matter if she is deceived, anyway, she has nothing to lose now .

It was the first time he had someone he could trust and drive around, and he was inevitably excited, but his weak body couldn't carry this passion.

He knows this is just the beginning, and the most important thing for him now is to keep his body healthy. Only a healthy self is qualified to talk about freedom.

After drinking the broth, his body had warmed up a lot, he raised his eyes and looked out the window, it was still dark night sky outside.

He looked at Chanel again, the other party had just wiped away her tears, and finally maintained the calm on the surface, but her blue eyes were bloodshot, and she could feel the exhaustion of her body.

She took care of herself until the early morning just now, and then experienced emotional ups and downs, so she must be very tired.

"Chanel, I have nothing for you to do tonight, you can rest." So he said.

"It's okay, Your Highness, you haven't replied yet, I need to take care of you." Chanel smiled.

"Since I'm awake and able to eat, it means that I have passed the dangerous period. It's good to rest for a while. And you need to rest even more now, and I have to continue to rely on you tomorrow." Aegron ordered .

After a pause, he added another sentence in a gentle tone that was completely different from the indifference just now.

"Chanel, as long as you are loyal to me, I will fulfill your wishes for you. So you have a good rest now, I need a healthy you to continue to serve me, which is very important to me."

After hearing this, Chanel's eyes widened in surprise, a blush flashed across her face, and she bowed.

"Okay, obey, Your Highness."

Then, she sat on the sofa bench where Aigron used to sit, and then lay down against the armrest.

She was really tired, so after just a moment, her breathing became very even, her back rhythmically heaved slightly, and she was clearly asleep.

It seems that this young Avenger is quite easy to coax... Aegron thought.

That means she's an easy partner to work with—or to command—but it also means she's not the type to be extremely smart.

But it doesn't matter, now he needs loyalty more than intelligence, and people who are too smart and scheming are not so easy to use.

Looking at the sleeping maid, he suddenly felt sleepy again.

It's time to rest and think about tomorrow's events after dawn... He closed his eyes again.

Although the wounds on his body are still tormenting him, he is in a much happier mood than yesterday or any day before. He knows that his life in the stagnant court has a little ripple, which may mean more in the future. Stormy waves.

This is what he expected.

If there is a storm, let it come more violently and smash the world!

===================================================== =

When Aegron regained consciousness again, he felt as if his face was being gently stroked.

At first he thought it was Chanel, but when he opened his eyes, he realized that he had guessed wrong, and the person sitting beside his bed and stroking him was Princess Sophie.

The sky was already bright, all the curtains in the room were opened, and the warm sunlight poured into the spacious suite from several directions, illuminating the furnishings inside, and at the same time making Her Royal Highness seem to have a layer of brilliance. Light.

But from the side of her eyes, you can still find traces of exhaustion, maybe she didn't sleep at all last night.

"I heard that you are out of danger, so I came to see you." After seeing him awake, Princess Sophie smiled, "Aigron, you really can't imagine that when you open your eyes, How excited I am... God finally saved me from making a big, irreparable mistake!"

"I am also very grateful to God for giving me the opportunity to experience the feeling of waking up from your touch." Aigron smiled, "Very comfortable, Your Highness."

"You're more and more like a swinger!" Sophie glared at him complainingly.

However, she soon showed a relaxed smile again. "However, at least you can speak, which is better than anything."

Then, she didn't speak, but looked around at the boy with a smile, as if to confirm that he was alive without any defects.

"I'm sorry." After laughing for a while, Princess Sophie leaned over slightly, took him by the shoulders, and put him in her arms gently, "Because of my willfulness, you have fallen into such a situation, I can only Cheekly, please forgive me."

The boy stiffened unnaturally, and finally managed to calm himself down from the turbulent mind.

"I can't talk about forgiveness or forgiveness. You originally suggested hunting to help me relax. The accident that happened was just my bad luck, not your responsibility." Aigron rested his head on Her Royal Highness's shoulder. , and then saw Chanel standing in the center of the room.

At this moment, she has completely recovered from the excitement and excitement of last night, standing expressionlessly behind Her Royal Highness, as if waiting for her master to issue a new order.

Nothing last night was a dream, so good! He was secretly happy, then winked at her, while Chanel bowed to him.

"No, the unlucky person should have been me... You have endured these pains instead of me..." Princess Sophie, who couldn't see his little gestures, continued to say in a guilt-filled tone, "If you hadn't reacted the first time, maybe I might even have... Aegron, you were a hero yesterday."

"Don't say that. I just did what a person who has been favored by you many times and who is your friend must do. If this is called a hero, then this title is too cheap. now." Aegron replied with a smile, "What I'm more concerned about is, now you should believe what I said that day..."

Princess Sophie let go of her arms, then put her arms around the boy's shoulders, and looked at the boy again. At this moment, his smile was so pale and weak, but with a weak charm.

Since she came to this magnificent palace and became a member of the Habsburg family, every time she saw this melancholy child, she always had a desire for protection rooted in motherhood, and even had a bit of chivalrous spirit, Always wanted to do something for this poor brother-in-law.

But yesterday, she clearly felt that this child has grown up, and he can try to protect himself - even he did so without hesitation.

God knows what kind of strength this melancholy, weak and unfortunate child burst out at that moment, tore himself down, and then used his body to prop him up when both fell off the horse.

He said that he was reluctant to give up on himself, and now he has proved it with practical actions.

"I believe what you said." Princess Sophie nodded solemnly, and then she sighed again, "Well, how cute our Agron has become before you know it!"

After sighing, she lowered her head slightly and kissed the boy's broad and clean forehead.

"I really don't know which princess will be so lucky in the future. To be your wife, she will definitely be the happiest princess in the world..."

Although she only touched it lightly, Aigron only felt his heartbeat speed up a little, and his heart swayed for a moment.

It is very sad to say, although he has lived for almost forty years, even in his last life, he has never been in love.

"No princess would be stupid enough to marry a prince who has no kingdom and no treasure." He forced himself to restrain himself, and then made a joke.

"That's a possibility." Sophie blinked her eyes and replied with a smile, "There will always be some silly princesses like my sister who fall in love with a prince who has no kingdom and no treasure... You are so handsome, just work a little harder. There will always be one who will be deceived…”

As soon as the words came out, both of them suddenly felt a little embarrassed. After all, there seemed to be a little more ambiguity in this sentence.

Aegron looked at the other party again.

Although she is nominally an aunt, she is only six years older than Aegron, and after all, she is still in her early twenties, which is when a woman is most radiant. Perhaps because of the light, perhaps because she was moved by yesterday's heroic deeds, the eyes she looked at her today were a little gentler than usual, as if rippling with the light of the lake.

At this time, a sudden sound from the door interrupted the embarrassment between the two.

The two turned their heads at the same time, and then found that several people appeared at the door of the room, and the leader was the Prime Minister Metternich.

Sophie frowned slightly, obviously a little displeased at his sudden arrival.

And Aigron nodded to His Excellency the Prime Minister with a blank expression.

"His Royal Highness, I'm here to visit you." Metternich also nodded, then walked in quickly, "I'm glad to hear that you are out of danger."

"Thank you." Agron replied. "I hope my accident did not cause you any trouble."

"It's a bit troublesome. There were rumors in Vienna yesterday, but now that you are awake, the rumors will soon subside." As he said, the Prime Minister walked to the bed, his eyes wandering around, confirming Aigron's current injury , "However, although you are out of danger, recently you'd better recuperate from your injury, don't exercise strenuously, and get back to health as soon as possible."

"Okay, I will, don't worry." Aegron nodded gratefully.

At this time, he thought that although it was unfortunate that he fell off a horse and was injured, it was also an unexpected gain from another aspect - at least for now, he didn't have to worry that someone would force him to go to the military school or military camp.

When he thought of this, he was secretly grateful.

Then, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and there was an uncomfortable feeling.

He glanced at it and found that the old man opposite was watching him secretly. The old man's eyes swept across his arm like a falcon, which made him feel a little nervous.

wrong! He was suspicious of me, he suspected that I fell off the horse on purpose, using self-injury to avoid being forcibly arranged. Agron suddenly woke up.

Undoubtedly, it was an emergency that day, but because the timing was so clever, it was normal for the cunning Metternich to suspect that he was hurting himself. He must be very suspicious, why did he need to do this because of such a little thing .

So what should be done?

Explanation is meaningless. A person like him has been in the diplomatic arena of intrigue for many years. He doesn't know how many lies he has told, and he doesn't know how many lies he has seen others tell. Any confidence, if he is so skeptical, it will be of no use to speak well of himself.

Therefore, it is better to face it calmly and think what he likes. Anyway, he is injured now, and he can't do anything to himself.

Thinking of this, Aigron was relieved.

After the two looked at each other for a while, Prime Minister Metternich nodded.

"It seems that you are indeed out of danger, which is great. Now that you need to rest, I will not disturb you any more."

"I'm very moved by you taking the time to visit me, thank you." Aegron thanked indifferently, "You still have too many important things to do, and it's not worth wasting too much time on me."

"Then, farewell." Metternich nodded again, and then walked out of the room.

Just as the Prime Minister was about to leave in the corridor, he suddenly heard a greeting from behind.

"gentlemen."

He turned around unexpectedly and found that Princess Sophie was chasing after him.

Although he was a little impatient, he still showed a pleasant expression. "Any orders, Your Highness?"

"You just looked at Franz's expression like you looked at a criminal, which makes me very dissatisfied." Princess Sophie looked at Metternich and said word by word, "I caused everything yesterday, he I was hurt to protect me, and I should be blamed if you want to, please don't embarrass a child."

If I could blame, I would have blamed you already! Metternich thought.

"Where are you, life is always full of surprises, and it's not your fault."

"Franz deserves to be treated better. During his recent recuperation, I hope that I will take care of him. Don't arrange inexplicable activities for him." The princess frowned and continued, "Yes At that time, I really felt that some people can't bully their fathers, but they bully their children, which is really useless."

This arrogant stupid woman! I knew for a long time that Bavaria didn't have a good thing, so I shouldn't have spared these traitors of the Rhine Confederation! Metternich cursed inwardly.

"I'll think about it, Your Highness." He left cold words, then turned to leave.
