Eagle’s Glory

"Nice to see you again, Your Highness Theresa."

Under the watchful eyes of all, Aegron calmly saluted Princess Teresa.

Unlike the last time I saw her, Princess Teresa today is dressed in a gorgeous dress. She is wearing a luxurious white dress with embroidered patterns, a diamond brooch on her chest, and delicate lace on the cuffs.

She wore a pearl necklace around her slender neck, her chestnut hair poured down like a waterfall, and the glow of the jewelry made her skin whiter and more translucent.

Such a luxurious dress, compared to that time, naturally more "like" a princess.

But for some unknown reason, Aegron felt that the other party was the same as last time, without any domineering arrogance.

Just as he watched, Teresa also held up her skirt and curtsy to him as well.

"Nice to meet you, Your Highness."

Her voice was light, and although her demeanor was as calm and graceful as last time, she always seemed to feel a little nervous.

"Aren't you used to being watched by everyone?" Aigron asked in a low voice.

"Yes... a little bit." Her Royal Highness looked slightly embarrassed, "I'm not used to this."

"You will get used to it in the future." Aegron laughed. "After all, in terms of your status, as long as you step into the social world, you are destined to become the focus of attention in the future."

"I'm afraid you have revealed a future that is not so happy..." Teresa lowered her eyes in frustration.

"You are not so afraid at all. After all, everyone will only look up at you. You have everything they envy, whether it is appearance or status." Aegron comforted her.

"That's even worse..." The girl let out a low sigh. "That's what scares me the most - I'm just lucky enough to be born into this great family, it's like winning the lottery, I don't personally contribute anything to it, and I don't have a reason to be admired by everyone, The only honor is my surname. So people just look up at the honorable but empty name Theresa von Habsburg, and the more I know that, the more I feel my insignificance, because in the Anyone under this name will be looked up to... Really, being reminded of my insignificance over and over again makes me feel ashamed."

Aegron was slightly surprised by Teresa's remarks. He did not expect that Teresa would say such a remark on his exclusive night.

For most girls of this age, such a scene should be an unattainable dream for them all their lives.

"I admire your humility, Your Highness." After pondering for a moment, he spoke again, "But, you should think about it in another way—one person cannot have everything at the same time, since you already have so much, If you are still unhappy and trembling, isn't that cruel to those who don't have that? So with all due respect, you might as well just enjoy the good time you have now, and treat it as your own Leisure, after all—you won the lottery right from birth, as you say. Maybe it's not fair, but the Habsburgs never ruled the empire for justice, did they?"

"Uh...uh..." After Aigron said that, the princess didn't know how to interface for a while.

In fact, Aigron is not completely reasonable, but, after all, Her Royal Highness has never been so bluntly "enlightened", so there is no experience in debating, so Aigron will naturally have the upper hand.

"Sorry... I may be thinking too much..." Teresa thought for a while, then smiled apologetically, "Sometimes my father also says I think too much."

"It's better to have a lot of ideas than an empty head." Aegron replied with a smile, "At least you have a sense of awe. If everyone like you has this sense of awe, even if it's only a fraction, there may be no great revolution. already."

"Then maybe you won't be able to stand in front of me, maybe even you didn't exist in the first place~" Teresa replied with a smile.

Before Aegron could answer, she suddenly felt that her words were inappropriate, and quickly apologized to the young man, "Yeah! I'm really sorry, I'm not demeaning you and your glorious name..."

"So sometimes you really think too much." Aigron smiled and shook his head, expressing that he didn't care, "I don't mind being told that I am the descendant of a small Corsican landowner, so that It would be more interesting to me, after all, I am now a member of the royal family in the most self-assured part of the world - albeit a little bit of a royal identity."

Aigron didn't say this to force himself to look for face. He didn't think the Habsburg family was so great. To put it bluntly, the Habsburgs were also from small landowners in Switzerland? But it took hundreds of years of mixing, and finally he became the leader of the noble world.

"This is your father's victory. Although he lost everything later, he deserves these victories." Teresa's voice softened, as if she wanted to make up for her unintentional loss just now, "No matter what. No matter what the outside world thinks, no matter how many people curse him, I think he is a hero anyway. Although my father has been an enemy of him all his life, he has never demeaned him in terms of personality. And it's just brooding."

"So we juniors don't need to care about the remnants of this history." Agron continued to smile and extended his hand to Princess Teresa, "The history of that generation has become the past, next, we Just make the history of our generation."

As if echoing his words, the music played by the band began to change its tune again at this moment, becoming an elegant dance tune. The meals of the banquet have already filled the guests' stomachs, and now it's finally time to use dance to digest food.

"Although holding hands to dance to open a new chapter in the history of the two families may sound strange, but... Your Royal Highness, I would like to thank you for giving me such a great honor." Aigron put his hand in front of Her Royal Highness. , formally issued an invitation to her.

Princess Teresa was a little shy, but she still raised her hand and took the young man's hand.

Although she was wearing thin silk gloves on her hands, the slender and soft touch, as well as the warmth coming from the gloves, still made Aegron feel a little nervous.

The two were already standing very close. Because of the difference in height, Her Royal Highness the Princess needed to raise her head slightly to look up at the young man, and Aigron could also see the white and red skin and eyes showing from the neckline of her skirt. The glow of the crystal chandelier seemed to be reflected in it.

Is this the feeling of "a girl from the Ha family growing up"?

Even if it is only evaluated from an objective point of view, although the current Princess Teresa is a little green, she has been able to reveal enough feminine charm. In time, she will surely become a bright lady.

However, even at this moment, he still clearly remembered his plans.

"Actually, I've always been a little scared, for fear that I'll mess up the evening you officially entered the social world." He said calmly, "If that's the case, even if others don't punish me, I'll feel guilty. long time."

"It's nothing to worry about." Her Royal Highness shook her head slightly, "Who can live without making mistakes? Besides, I'm not good at dancing, so it's me who should be worried..."

"Then, let me take the heavy responsibility." Aegron waved his hand slyly.

Although he has not deliberately studied dance, dance is a compulsory course for noble teenagers these days, and of course he has to study it seriously; more importantly, he has practiced swordsmanship for many years, and his skills are much stronger than ordinary people, at least He has the confidence to guide a newcomer like Teresa.

Aigron took Her Royal Highness's hand, and the two walked to the center of the hall together.

According to traditional habits, the guests have retreated to the corners around, forming a large open space in the center of the hall as a dance floor, and at the same time, others have slowly entered the venue.

Today, the mazurka dance, which is common in the court, is selected. Men in various uniforms and women in various dresses pour into the dance floor, a total of eight pairs.

Needless to say, most of them are foils, and everyone's attention is focused on the pair of boys and girls with special identities.

Most people want to find out what happened, a small number of people are looking forward to what will happen in the future.

And all these people's thoughts, the boy and the girl have no time to take into account, the two of them look at each other, waiting for the dance moment to come.

The brisk mazurka finally resounded throughout the hall, as if hearing the gunshot, the dancers on the dance floor started their dance.

The two first staggered their hands, spun each other in place, then caught them again, slid forward together, and then switched positions, then Aigron raised his hand, and Princess Teresa grabbed his hand. , ran briskly around him.

Under the eyes of everyone, Princess Teresa was led by Aegron in a graceful figure, walking on the dance floor as lightly as a butterfly wearing a flower. At first, she was a little jerky and could not let go, but soon, she Gradually indulging in the dance music, the body becomes more and more stretched, and the movements are accurate and fast.

"It seems that you are really humble, isn't that amazing?" Aegron complimented while grabbing Her Royal Highness's hand.

"I'm in better shape tonight, didn't you just say that I want to enjoy honor tonight? I thought about it, it should be." Teresa smiled slightly, raised her head and said to the teenager, "And, You are also very humble, I don't see you have anything to worry about, it's just easy."

While speaking, the two also touched their heels lightly, paying homage to each other in this way.

They should be composing the brisk mazurka dance in three-time. Under the gaze of the public, the two danced like no one else. According to their education, they performed various dance steps, occasionally interspersed with a little conversation.

Unconsciously, time was passing, the sound of the music slowly stopped, and the two finally stopped.

The first dance is over.

Then, they looked at each other.

"Actually, you are also my first official dance partner." Aigron whispered. "Your Highness, thank you for giving me confidence."
