Eagle’s Glory

Chapter 17: 17. Interest and shame

Looking at Agron's soft smile, Princess Sophie's heart finally fell.

As soon as she said the stern words just now, she felt regretful in her heart, for fear of hurting the hearts of young people, but fortunately she finally recovered - although the young people put forward a condition, but as long as everyone is happy, such a trivial request What is unacceptable?

In addition, she wasn't really angry in the depths of her heart. The fiery emotions displayed by the young man not only made her scared, but also a little excited, and even a little bit warmer.

After all, who would be unhappy to be so admired by such a handsome and lovely child?

Aegron just lacked friends since he was a child, so he longed for family affection, and then mistakenly thought that his admiration for me was love... As long as he has a wife and his own family in the future, I am afraid that he will be ashamed when he thinks about his words and deeds at this time. .

After all, the Austrians treated him so badly, Sophie thought.

After thinking of this, Sophie couldn't help but glanced at the young man lovingly, and the small dispute between the two disappeared.

Then, quietly, she fiddled with the palette again, mixing colors with paint. Aegron wanted a portrait of herself, so this was a double test—a test of her own drawing skills and a test of her looks, and her self-esteem would not allow herself to fail.

"Aegron, what image do you want me to draw?" she asked Aegron casually. "If I don't ask, I can play freely."

"You are beautiful all the time, but at this moment I think it is the best." Aegron replied in a low voice.

"Okay, then do as you said." After a moment of silence, Princess Sophie nodded lightly.

The two walked to the fountain, quietly watching the reflection in the pool amid the soft sound of the trickle, and then Princess Sophie set up her easel again and started painting.

Aigron also stood quietly next to Her Royal Highness this time, watching her paint stroke by stroke. Gradually, a blurred outline appeared on the canvas. Then, as the brush continued to move, the color became more and more vivid. The scene in the painting became more and more clear.

After an unknown amount of time, the image of a young woman standing beside the fountain wearing a long royal blue dress appeared in the painting.

Princess Sophie put down the brush, then looked at the painting carefully, and finally nodded with satisfaction.

"Aigron, the painting is finished, what do you think?" Then, she turned her head to look at Aegron, and asked expectantly.

There is always only one answer to this question.

"It's really beautiful." Aigron looked at it carefully, bent down, and looked at Princess Sophie gratefully, "I will definitely treasure it, Your Highness... It's really beautiful, whether it's a painting or a person. "

In all fairness, it's really pretty.

"You really don't look like a child now!" Princess Sophie gave him a sideways look, looking a little angry, "Who taught you this?"

"We've been together for so long, don't you know me yet? I won't go against my will and tell lies to please others." Aegron replied with a smile. "So if I say yes, then don't worry, it's really, really good,"

"Okay, then I'll just believe it this time..." Princess Sophie nodded lightly.

The two of them were speechless again, looking at the painting that was just completed together. They listened to the sound of the wind and running water quietly, as if they were the only two left in the huge palace.

"His Royal Highness, I have recently developed a new hobby." After a long silence, Aigron suddenly said.

"What hobbies?" Princess Sophie asked curiously.

"I'm obsessed with watching drama scripts, such as those of Shakespeare and Molière... A few days ago, I suddenly had a strange idea." Aigron looked at Her Royal Highness, and replied leisurely, "I think I can try it too. Trying to write the script, I now have some scene ideas in my head, and I think I can try it.”

"Really?" Princess Sophie immediately became interested, "Then hurry up and work hard, I really want to see it!"

"Now my skills and writing are immature, and those fragmented ideas don't have any coherence. I don't dare to make a fool of yourself and make your jokes." Aegron bowed his head in shame, "But I really I want to work on this, so... I would like to ask you to take me to see the theatre in Vienna if you have the chance, so that I should be able to learn something important."

"What?" As Aegron had expected, Princess Sophie was very surprised to hear this request. "You want to go to the theatre?"

"To be precise, in your company." Aegron lowered his head slightly ashamed, "If this request makes you feel embarrassed, then... then you can pretend that I didn't say it, I'm just a whim That's it."

Princess Sophie was silent.

It stands to reason that Aegron's request was a bit difficult to handle, but his clear and eager eyes made it difficult for her to refuse, not to mention that the two had just had an argument, and she really didn't want to cause any unpleasantness.

And... it should be a little fun to go to the theater with Aegron?

"If this is your hobby... I will support you." After a while, she nodded lightly, "I will tell the prince and His Majesty the emperor that you are injured and you are always bored in the palace. It's too boring."

"But... if they don't agree..." Aegron hesitated again.

"If they don't agree, I'll find a way to get them to agree, and I'll settle this matter." Her Royal Highness replied without thinking, "When we ate before, I mentioned that you love pen and paper more than love. Swords and spears are a good thing, and His Majesty the Emperor agrees. In this case, it is also a good thing for you to develop an interest in this area... I think His Majesty should have no reason not to agree."

"That's great!" Aegron raised his head in surprise, "Then please."

"Don't be happy so early, I also have conditions." Princess Sophie shook her head, "First, you and I have a special identity, we must not go to the theater as our original identity, we can only keep a low profile; second, you come Just stay in the box when you go there, don't interact with the outside world, and if you have anything, just let me and the guards in the past deal with it... Aigron, sorry, I don't want to restrict you in this way, but if you don't have these conditions, I will I'm afraid it will be difficult for the old man to agree."

Exactly what I want.

"It doesn't matter, no matter what the outcome is, I will never have any complaints against you. You have helped me enough... I am really, very grateful to you." Aegron quickly expressed his feelings, "His Royal Highness... I really can't use it. Words express my gratitude to you, and if I can do anything to make you happy, please let me know!"

"I don't want anything from you, as long as you don't get angry with me in the future, just be obedient..." Princess Sophie winked her left eye playfully, "Aegron, can you do it?"

"As you wish." Aegron stopped his waist.

He said it very sincerely, but at the same time, there was a little bit of guilt in his heart.

His so-called "interested in writing the script" is of course just an excuse. The ultimate goal is to use Princess Sophie to get an opportunity to go out of the palace to Vienna regularly - although this opportunity is not yet useful, and when the time comes He will certainly still be under strict surveillance, but at least it will allow him to have further contact with the outside world.

As long as there is contact, he will definitely be able to create opportunities. Before that, he doesn't need to be impatient, everything can be done slowly, anyway, he still has time.

However, doing this also meant that he took advantage of Princess Sophie's love and accommodation for him. Since he came to this world, he had only felt this love and accommodation from her so far.

He didn't like to see himself doing it, but he had to do it even though he didn't want to. This is an important step in his entire plan. If he can't establish a connection with the outside world, then the so-called escape plan is destined to be nothing but a daydream.

And this crucial step was easily agreed by Her Royal Highness—she agreed purely to make herself happy.

I'm sorry... Your Highness.

If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely compensate you and do my best. He swore in his heart.

"Okay, let's go back and help me move it." After a long time, Princess Sophie suggested.

The drying speed of the oil painting was very slow, and it was impossible for Aegron to keep it away today, so he helped the princess put away the easel, and then walked back to the palace with the paintings on the easel.

Along the way, Sophie found that Aigron was silent and seemed to be thoughtful.

"Aigron, what are you thinking?" she asked.

"Actually, I was thinking about a very strange question." Aegron smiled, concealing the unease and shame in his heart.

"What's the problem?"

"If we are in the past, then we can't use our current names, right?" Aigron smiled and looked at each other, "So how about we pretend to be brothers and sisters? I'm brother Franz, and you are sister Sophia. We two If you go out and say they are sisters and brothers, no one will believe it, right?"

Princess Sophie suddenly stopped, she blushed slightly, but it should be excited rather than shy. It seemed that she was also intrigued.

"Sounds interesting." She nodded after a moment, "So...what should our last name be?"

"Do you have any good advice?" Agron asked back.

"Well..." Her Royal Highness narrowed her eyes slightly, and then seemed to have an idea, "What do you think of Memmingen? This is a small city in our Bavaria. I went there to play when I was a child, and the scenery was very good. It left me with great memories.”

"That's it!" Agron nodded excitedly, "We can definitely leave better memories!"

At this moment, he decided to use Franz Memmingen as his pseudonym in the future when it was inconvenient to use his real name.

Some things are memorable.
