Eagle’s Glory

"I want to keep your frown and smile in my heart before it's too late, I love you!"

Aegron's words were so impassioned and passionate that he was dizzy enough to believe it.

During this period of time getting along day and night, he was indeed very moved by Maria's help, but deep down how much he loved Maria, I'm afraid he couldn't even tell himself.

Anyway, it's definitely not as good as Sophie's.

However, for the fanciful plan in his heart, it was necessary to "pull Maria in" - after all, without this twin sister as a substitute, Sophie could not come to her side without disturbing the outside world.

So, logically, he must satisfy Maria's emotional needs, which is to "fall in love" with Maria.

He is playing with the cold brain of the pragmatist and the fiery heart of the romanticism, both of which are part of his body, there is no contradiction, at least he can easily navigate the two very different organs.

That is to say, he is both fascinated and sober, immersed in the charming romance of the moment, and fully aware of what he is doing and what he wants.

But for Maria, it was something that was indistinguishable.

After hearing the young man's confession, the most secret chord in her heart was struck, so much so that she forgot to think for a while.

Her reason told her that such romance and indulgence could not have any good results, but the unrestrained soul that longed for passion in her heart told her that this might be the only few things she could encounter in her life. A moment of incomprehension.

And she happened to be reluctant to feel this way—because this was what she had longed for.

The longing, hesitation, and sadness intertwined, making her restless and angry.

"Shut up!" She scolded the young man loudly, "Love? You said it nicely. It's just a word you can easily say. You said it to my sister, and it must be to Teresa. I also said that you will definitely not feel any burden when you say it to me, even if this may just give me an illusory temptation, but what scruples will you have? You are such a person, you have been I have learned how to judge the situation, and if I plunder and cheat, I just haven’t learned how to feel guilty for what I have done…”

Speaking of this, she showed a bitter smile, "You keep saying that you don't take me as Sophie's shadow, but you are lying, we both know that I will never have any illusions about it. ,Although I'm not liked by people, but I'm definitely not stupid, besides, women are naturally sensitive to this, although you cover it up very well, but when we look at each other, I can see that kind of trance...I Don't be angry about it, the more you miss Sophie, the more you prove that all the price she paid is worth it, but you don't have to lie to me, it will only make me feel more disappointed."

Uh... Aegron is speechless now.

He did not misestimate Maria's affection for him and her romantic longing, but he still misestimated Maria's ingenuity.

Even if she is intoxicated at this moment, she can still grasp those subtle things.

He was hit in the weak spot for a while, and he felt a little guilty.

"You don't have to take me so much... I really love you. Maybe now I may be a little carried away and say some things that are beyond reality, but it is still my heart after all." Maria's questioning Down, he can only take a step back.

Then, he looked away, then raised his finger and pointed to the Palma River in the distance, facing the beauty of the last dusk before the sunset, "Look, isn't it all beautiful? We are alone, and only us Two people are sharing the beautiful scenery at the moment. We were laughing and celebrating together just now. Isn't it normal for me to feel ecstatic about this? Not to mention the touching you brought me before. All these add up to enough Let me indulge in it, don't you allow me to say what I think at this moment!?"

Maria also looked at the golden sunset in the distance, why didn't she indulge in it?

However, when she thought of the sad part, her lips trembled slightly, and tears flowed out of her unconsciously.

"Too late...too late." She muttered to herself, as if saying to herself, "If only this scene had happened earlier...but hearing these words now, just makes me The annoyance and anger in my heart only added a little bit more, but it didn't help."

"No, it's not too late, it's never too late," Aegron replied firmly. "If you like, we'll be together, and forever—"

"Hmph, it's not just the two of us, there are other people together, right?" Maria asked sarcastically, "and what kind of future can you give me? Let me be a shady mistress? This is me Absolutely unacceptable shame, I have already been robbed of my marriage by Teresa, and I will be shorter than Teresa all my life, so that not only myself, but my children and grandchildren will be her servants? No? ……no way!"

Obviously, in fact, she has already been moved by the young people, but she is only afraid of the unpredictable results in the future.

Rather than saying that she was morally disgusted with cheating, it would be better to say that Maria, who was arrogant and extremely jealous of Teresa, couldn't bear to be overwhelmed by Teresa.

Seeing that her will was so determined, Aigron was speechless for a while.

He found that his familiar debates were solved by Maria one by one.

This is not to say that his eloquence has regressed, but it means that no matter how eloquent he is trying to make Maria break through her heart defenses, it is a bit impersonal that he is willing to give in and be a lover.

He didn't blame Maria, and in her position, it was understandable to have such thoughts.

Sophie is already a prince and concubine. If nothing else happens, she can still be the queen and queen mother, so she doesn't need to think about what "future" she has with herself, so she just needs to try her best to be greedy; and Maria is different , She still has her own future, and she doesn't want to waste her life on illusory feelings.

This sanity is commendable.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness." Aegron was silent for a while, then apologized again, "I shouldn't impose my own thoughts and preferences on you, as you said, you are free and can decide the future according to your own mind... I don't know what the future holds for us, so let's just enjoy the moment - at least for now, we're completely free and value each other."

Maria also regained her composure. Her blushing face from drunkenness and anger just now returned to her usual fairness. She silently picked up the handkerchief that Aigron had just given her, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then slightly. Frowning, he urged the young man again impatiently.

"Then don't talk nonsense, now you owe me something!"

Of course Aigron knew what she meant.

He was in a depressed mood at this time, but he had to fulfill Maria's wish.

So, he looked at the distant scenery again, let go of his thoughts, and immersed himself in the last afterglow of the dusk and the cold evening wind.

Tomorrow, everything will be over, Maria will leave her, maybe she and herself will make a break with this, and there will be no chance to continue contact in the future.

If this is the case, his plan of "Li Dai Tao Zong" will be impossible to talk about.

But what can be done? She couldn't force Maria to make sacrifices for her plan.

Since she didn't confuse her to be willing to do anything for herself, she could only face the reality.

Give her a final try, impress her with the romance she wants, and let her go if it still doesn't work, anyway, there is still a long time, and it's too late to think about other plans.

Aegron let go of the obsession in his heart, and stopped acting out of madness. In an instant, he regained his former calmness and composure. The arrogant and ambitious arrogance returned to him.

Maybe he will encounter all kinds of setbacks in his life, but he must not allow a moment of weakness and confusion in himself.

Slowly, thoughts flooded in his mind, and then he recited the psalm he had given to Maria.

The setting sun is late, the evening wind sues;

Drifting away, looking for a place to return;

The laws of men are built only for the world,

How could a natural royal family be shackled by this?

Fate is unpredictable, time is short;

How can you be troubled and undecided?

Stormy seas, even if we can't go through hand in hand,

Sincere and sincere hearts can also bestow blessings on each other;

The cliff shore is high, never afraid of difficulties and obstacles,

Extraordinary, why fear the wrath of God!

Move forward with one heart, disdain to bow down and endure humiliation,

All troubles, wave the thunder to expel them!

The gods of heaven have no right to make us concede;

In our life, we have never known what the limit is, why should anyone talk about redemption? ! "

In the cool evening breeze, Aegron read out the short poem he had come up with in one breath, and then he seemed to be discouraged because of this, and suddenly became a little dejected.

He glanced at Maria silently.

Under the golden sunset, Maria's expression was neither happy nor angry, she just stared blankly at the Palma River in the distance.

Aigron didn't speak anymore, just accompanied her to watch.

"You are really bold, duke." After a while, Maria finally spoke, "If you spread these blasphemous words, God knows what the devout believers will think of you! You are so disrespectful to God, and you want to It is hypocritical to try to win the favor of the French in the name of God."

"That can't be helped. If our family is really as devoted to God as my grandmother, we are still farming in Corsica." Aigron replied, deliberately posing as a peasant sowing funny pose , "Because we have abandoned God's laws, God will favor us and make me qualified to stand before you - you were born a princess with a golden spoon in your hand, and we are sitting on cannonballs , howling and smashing the city wall and rushing into the royal family! God encouraged us to do so."

Aegron's words were extremely arrogant, but they were true, and Maria had no interest in refuting it.

On the contrary, she just likes this arrogance.

It was this young man who used his handsome appearance, arrogant arrogance, and matching talent to tug at her heartstrings.

She could hear that even at this moment, he still did not give up hope, encouraging and seducing her to "fallen", putting aside all other concerns for his own pleasure.

She knew, but she wasn't angry anymore.

Her sister faced the same temptation at that time and did not choose to escape, and her courage and boldness were not inferior to her own sister.

"Hum...hahahaha..." Maria was amused by Aegron's joke, "I have to admit that your boldness is indeed qualified, and you are indeed favored by God, so even if you get carried away, it doesn't seem too abhorrent. ."

From her performance at the moment, Aegron believed that he had finally let her down.

Although it wasn't enough to make her change her mind, at least he planted a seed.

"Thank you for your compliment. As long as you are satisfied with my performance, then I will be at ease." Aigron nodded, "His Royal Highness, although it is a bit early to say this, I wish you a smooth journey and a smooth return to China."

Maria didn't answer, she just stared at the young man, her eyes full of complicated emotions.

"You are indeed...really disgusting, but, hey..."

Then, as if not reconciled, she suddenly asked another question, "If there was nothing about Teresa and you got Sophie's proposal, would you marry me?"

"Of course I am willing, there is such a good thing in the world, how could I not be happy!" Aegron answered categorically without thinking about it.

Even if he wasn't happy, he couldn't tell the truth in the current situation, not to mention he was really happy -- with a double Sophie, what idiot wouldn't be happy?

"Even if I'm six years older than you?" Maria pressed.

"It's good to be old, I just like the type of big sister--" Aigron replied smoothly. "You should know me well."

This is not a lie, but he not only likes the big sister, but also likes the same age and the little sister, as long as it is beautiful and cute enough - a man, it is this kind of creature.

"Then... If there is no Teresa in the future, will you marry me?" This time, Maria hesitated for a moment, and then asked again.

This question made Aegron's face change, and he suddenly smelled an unusual breath.

"What do you mean?" He looked at Maria nervously.

"It's nothing—just a random question," Maria replied calmly. "A purely hypothetical question, are you still worried about what I'm going to do?"

Aigron wanted to say that he was indeed worried.

"Okay, there's no need to answer, I'll understand when I see your expression—" Maria sighed slightly, then smiled bitterly, "What has been lost is lost after all, and there is no need to be unwilling or annoyed. significance."

Then, she cheered up again, and then saluted Aegron solemnly, "Your Highness, thank you for the gift you gave me, I think I am indeed satisfied with it. In the future, I will follow your advice and walk on my own path. We encourage each other."
