Eagle’s Glory

Aigron was struck by Princess Maria's folding fan again.

In fact, with his skill, it was quite easy to dodge it, but he didn't make any resistance or dodge.

To him, this was more like a gesture of intimacy than punishment.

He felt that although she looked angry on the surface, Maria should be in a good mood at the moment.

It wasn't because he was overconfident, but because he was too familiar with Sophie, so he seemed to be able to figure out Maria's mood again - she was too similar to Sophie, not only in words, deeds and demeanor, but also in some small movements.

Sophie had done the same to him.

If she was really annoyed or hated someone, Sophie would dismiss him, too lazy to pay attention for another second, and since Princess Maria didn't turn around and leave, it meant that she wasn't really angry.

"I'm sorry... I made a blunder." He apologized insincerely, with a big smile on his face, "If you don't want to meet my wishes, then you can call me whatever you like in the future. , I can accept it."

"In the future?" Princess Maria gave him a sidelong glance, "Why do you think there will be a future?"

"Because I think... our encounter today, whether it is God's arrangement or the result of your deliberate efforts, indicates that we will not lose contact again." Aigron gradually became serious, "I don't know what you think Whatever I want, but as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it... Because seeing the same smile as His Royal Highness Sophie, I want time to stop and let it heal the wounds in my heart."

"Well, this is really nice, maybe she was once fascinated by you like this...?" Princess Maria still mocked, as if she didn't appreciate it, "then if I want you to leave your wife immediately and go back to By her side, do you do it? If you can do it, I don't mind smiling at you all the time."

"I'm sorry, I can't. I can only do what I can, and I can't do this." Aigron's smile remained unchanged, but he answered simply, "Now the situation can no longer allow me to go back on my regrets, and I have been with Trey. Sha has fate tied together, and if I abandon her, I will lose all my credibility - not even Sophie will ask me that again, she once dragged people over to send us blessings."

"Yes, blessing, do you think she will really bless?! After all the helplessness and pain, what else can she do?" Maria retorted him loudly, "You take this blessing as a passport to your conscience, Opening her heart to drink blood, and praising her blood for its sweet taste, left her alone with endless regret and pain! What a cruel person you are..."

Aegron stood silently, without making any rebuttal, and was willing to accept such a rebuke.

The voice was exactly the same as Sophie's, almost indistinguishable, so in a trance, his mind seemed to drift back to that goodbye night, when she was crying and cursing herself.

But he knew that he was telling the truth, and with the intelligence shown by Maria, she must have known it for a long time - so this request she made may only further embarrass herself, not a real wishes.

She did it.

At this time is the most heart-wrenching moment for Aegron. The rebuke from his ear and the curse from the memory in his heart seemed to converge in a trance, tortured his heart, and made his remaining conscience aching frantically, gnawing on food. with his sanity.

Tears reappeared in his eyes, and then he looked at Princess Maria quietly - just like when the two had just met.

Seeing this mixed look of grievance, shame and helplessness, Princess Maria seemed to be touched, she sighed secretly, and then stopped her ridicule and reprimand.

"Forget it, it is reasonable to say that this matter has nothing to do with me. As an honored guest in our country, and you are also a world-famous heroic boy, you can't justify standing by my training all the time. If others know about it, they will laugh at us. The family is uneducated... I was just a joke just now, you don't need to take it to heart."

Well, sure enough, it's worth a thousand words—for Sophie, and for her twin sister. Aigron thought to himself with a little mirth.

Maria kept saying that she was different from her sister and would never take this set, but he just showed it a little, and she couldn't help but soften.

Why?

I'm afraid it's because when she and Sophie communicated daily, she was already infected by her sister... Sophie shared with her the bits and pieces of getting along with herself, and naturally shared the joy of two people relying on each other, then This kind of excitement and joy that comes from the resonance of the soul, it is naturally impossible for Maria to see it without being touched.

Once he was sure that her feelings for him were influenced by Sophie, he knew that he could easily get the other party's favor—he was too skilled in dealing with Sophie, and he could do it with ease. In an equivalent conversion, he would at least be able to deal with Maria. There are also 60-70% proficiency, even if they have just met.

He knew that for Sophie, her own pain was better than being a tongue-in-cheek one, and her love for herself was mixed with too much of this kind of love and pity.

Then Maria naturally shared some of this love and pity.

This is not acting, his heartache and guilt are sincere, but as a veteran of playing politics and people's hearts, he is also good at using his "sincere" and showing it at the right time.

The momentary absence and trance of seeing Maria for the first time had disappeared, and that calm, almost ruthless soul dominated everything in him again.

"There, we had too many good memories, that kind of joy from the heart, I will never forget, and only between us can enjoy this kind of intimacy fun." Seeing that the initiative has shifted to On his own side, Aigron continued, "You may not know, we even refer to each other as sisters and brothers in private, she named Sophia Memmingen, and I named it Franz Memmingen, we Wandering around Vienna together like true lovers—"

"I know, she told me." Maria interrupted him angrily. "Okay, please don't show off your lascivious things in front of me—"

"This is not to show off, but to share and remember." Aegron corrected her seriously, "Since you know these things, you should know how addicted I am, and if it is not a last resort, how can I give up all this ?"

Under his rhetorical question, Maria was speechless for a moment - she obviously knew it was the truth.

"Well, since these things have already happened, I won't change anything if I curse you. As you said, you are already married, and you can't go back to the past." Then, Maria sighed, "If that's the case, then You are already strangers, and I am not qualified to take care of your affairs. That’s fine, I wish you and Princess Teresa a long life, I have nothing to tell you anymore…”

Um? Are you so disheartened that it's over?

How does this work? Aegron was immediately anxious.

He and Princess Maria met by chance, and if they said goodbye without any intersection today, there would be no intersection in the future.

It was difficult for him to see her, and it was difficult for him to accept the result that was lost in an instant.

He is a greedy person. Although he is no longer the destitute grandson who had nothing at the time, he still wants to keep everything that he and Sophie get along with, even if it is a phantom who just looks like Sophie.

He wants it, he still wants it.

"You...are you leaving?" he asked in a trembling voice.

"Otherwise?" Princess Maria asked, "Do we still have any old friendship to continue?"

I have to say that this question hit Aigron's soft underbelly again.

Yes, if we meet by chance, what reason is there to meet again?

Therefore, no, we must continue to keep her, at least to create an opportunity to meet again in the future.

If he loses today's joy from heaven, he will never be able to feel at ease.

"Did you go to great lengths to find me just to mock me for a few words?" He asked the other party in a dejected manner, "If that's the case, Your Highness Maria, please continue to mock me, whatever you say is fine, I Will always be listening."

"What do you think of me as a wicked person who scolds people for nothing?" Maria sneered again, "In terms of what you did to my sister before and what you did to me today, I'm just saying this A few words are already very polite."

"Yes, I know." Aegron nodded hurriedly, "Then you can say whatever you want, whatever you say, I just want to hear it... Your voice is like the sound of nature to me, even casual household words are enough. Heal my mind and body."

After speaking, he looked at her eagerly, just as he used to look at Sophie.

Looking at his eyes full of anticipation and prayer, Maria's originally tense face suddenly loosened, and then she burst out laughing.

Then, she tapped the young man's forehead lightly with a folding fan.

"Well, since you begged like this, it would be a bit rude if I categorically refused."

Then, she lifted the closed folding fan and pointed to the side, "I'm a little tired after standing for so long, come with me."

Then, Aigron followed her to a gazebo deep in the garden.

In addition to the endless flower beds, there are fountains and sculptures next to it, which is a good place to enjoy the scenery, and there are stone chairs to sit on, which is a good place to rest.

After she was seated, Maria looked back at Aigron.

"Duke Reichstedt—"

"It's fine if you don't want to call me you, but please don't call me this title anyway." Aegron interrupted her, "You know, this title represents a period of inconvenience to me. Very pleasant experience, it's only officially used temporarily, but I really don't want to hear it call me from my friends and family, please forgive my self-esteem. You know what Sophie calls me , if you don't dislike it, please call me that too..."

Maria gave him a sideways glance, as if rhetorically asking why she was one of the "friends and family".

But in front of Aegron's expectant eyes, she quietly changed her name. "Aigron, although I doubt your character a little bit, but you are able to achieve such a feat at such a young age, you are indeed a leader among our younger generation, and you have an enviable literary talent... Well, just me Of the kings and grandsons you know, no one can compare to you—"

"Thank you for your compliment." Aegron quickly thanked her. "But I think it may be that Sophie exaggerated me, so I raised my image to you."

"There's no need for her to praise, you can see clearly just by looking at your handwriting." Maria blinked her eyes indifferently, "I never praise people easily, and I'm not interested in trying to please you, so my Compliments come from the heart, and you just accept them. It is not contradictory that I scold you and praise you based on objective facts.”

"Well, you're right." Aigron could only nod his head.

"In front of such a person, although I am a few years older, I have nothing to teach you... but you want me to talk to you, which really embarrassing me." Maria frowned slightly.

Then, she seemed to think of something. "How about this, I'll read you a good sentence I read before, this is also a sharing!"

"Okay, that's great!" Of course Aegron continued to nod his head. He just wanted to continue listening to the voice that was exactly the same as Sophie's, so as to relieve the hunger of his soul. As for what he said, it didn't matter at all.

Maria looked at the surrounding flowers, then cleared her throat.

Then, she frowned, showing a sad look.

"My dear friend, do you know what you have done? You are standing in front of a woman who is eager for warmth, you have given her hope, and you have made her smile again. In this case, how can you bear to be cruel again? Make her despair? If you do, then you have committed the greatest sin on earth!"

This voice was soft and gentle, like crying, and it made people feel desolate in their hearts.

"Ah..." Agron felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if he was suddenly stabbed by a needle.

He raised his head reluctantly, and saw Sophie's expression on the other's face in a trance, which was almost vivid.

Sophie had rehearsed with him the sentence he wrote back then, but he did not expect that it would be reproduced from another mouth with almost the same voice and demeanor.

And to cooperate with the reality that has already happened, it is simply... a slap in the face.

He suddenly had a burning pain in his face.

"Hahahaha..." Seeing his blushing face, Maria burst into laughter. "How's it written? I think it's pretty good. So am I complimenting the wrong person? I think it deserves it?"

Agron was both ashamed and angry. He glanced at Maria secretly, thinking that if he had the opportunity, he must teach this girl who had been sneering at him well.

But after a while, he came back to his senses.

Why did Sophie even tell her this? Why did she remember it so clearly?

He recalled something, a few words that had been buried deep in his memory.

He looked at Maria with wide eyes, "Your Highness, she... Did she plan to match you and me?"
