Eagle’s Glory

"Carnival? Of course we are interested as citizens."

Although Sophie said so, the sophisticated theater manager had already seen that the two were not so familiar with Vienna.

Are they foreigners? He already had doubts in his heart.

However, he had no interest in revealing their true identities, and instead went on with their meaning.

"When the carnival comes, various theaters will hold large masquerade parties, and ours is no exception. If you are interested, you can attend on time."

"Are there any conditions?" Sophie asked.

"People go to this kind of event to have unfettered fun, Miss Memmingen," the manager replied with a smile. "If you want to participate, just relax and play, as long as you don't cause any trouble for others. . If you need some other entertainment, there will be everything in town, and a big fireworks show if you have time.”

The manager's simple description made Sophie's heart beat.

If it was before, she might not care about these tricks at all, but now her mood is completely different, her heart has been moved by the teenager, and her heart is full of joy.

If you can walk with him in Vienna during the carnival, it will be an unforgettable romantic memory.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile.

"Franz, are you interested?"

Of course Aigron could see what Her Royal Highness was thinking, and of course he wouldn't spoil it.

"Very interested," he replied softly.

"Okay, then it's settled." Sophie nodded heavily.

Seeing her so happy and looking forward to it, Aigron suddenly remembered that in order to make His Highness happy, he had asked Chanel to find him some Bavarian costumes. Forgive him, it turns out that those clothes are not useful for a while.

And if you go to the masquerade of the carnival with her, wouldn't it just be possible to take advantage of it?

After coming here, Sophie will definitely feel a little homesick, so she will be very, very happy after putting on those Bavarian clothes.

He didn't say the thought, and was going to give her another surprise at that time.

"Okay, let me take this young lady to meet the actors." The theater manager's voice interrupted his thoughts, and he looked at Chanel, "However, she'd better change her clothes, so as not to surprise others. "

"Since you have a theater here, there must be some costumes. Just find a set for her." Princess Sophie replied impatiently, "Don't worry, I'll pay for it."

Then, she also looked at Chanel, "Chanel, it was you who begged us to give you a chance, and as a reward for you, we did give you a chance - so don't let us down."

"Okay...Miss." Chanel almost subconsciously called out to His Highness, but she quickly realized it under Sophie's sharp gaze, so she changed her mouth, "I will do my best. , I won't disappoint you and the young master."

Although she tried to pretend to be calm on the surface, she was filled with incomparable ecstasy. She was not only happy that she passed the test and fulfilled her wish, but also that she was able to help her master.

"That's good." Sophie waved her hand and asked the manager to take her away to change her clothes.

Sophie stood beside the railing of the box and watched as Chanel, who had changed her clothes, walked onto the stage.

"Fortunately, she had a good chance." She said slightly sourly, "If it wasn't for too many scruples, we should have gone on our own."

"If you feel sorry, you can experience the fun of acting in front of me in the future, as long as you don't think the audience is too small." Aigron replied with a smile, "It's the same as that day."

"That's not bad." Her Royal Highness agreed immediately. "Actually, after trying it once, it's quite interesting."

"Then... can the other things we tried that day be the same?" Aegron asked tentatively.

Sophie immediately understood what he meant, so she immediately shook her head, "No...I didn't say that..."

Although the first reaction was to refuse, of course he could see that she was more shy than angry.

Seeing her reaction like this, Aegron felt confident.

"If you don't want to, I will never force you," he lowered his head pretending to be disappointed. "So, did you just have an occasional whim and kindness that day? Or was it just too deep into the play, all of a sudden Didn't you convert it?"

"No... I didn't mean that." Her Royal Highness quickly denied it again, "I just said... I just said I wasn't prepared... Aegron, didn't we come to watch the rehearsal today?"

"I don't think these two things are contradictory." The young man replied stubbornly, and then looked at her with expectant eyes, "Well, let's just stay for a while, okay? There's no one here anyway, no matter what. So what to do?"

Seeing him like this, Sophie refused but couldn't say anything. He was reluctant to make him sad, and suddenly became flustered. After hesitating for a moment, he finally nodded in confusion.

Silent acquiescence was enough, the young man pulled her into the shadows, then forced her into his arms, and then lowered his head desperately.

The two stopped all movements again, quietly enjoying each other's warmth, except for the slight sucking sound, everything seemed to have stopped.

After a long time, the two were separated again.

"Isn't it just a little while..." Her Royal Highness blushed and protested with a frown like a deceived child.

Do you also believe this kind of thing... No, in fact, you just want to believe it. Aegron thought.

She has let go.

"I didn't lie to you on purpose, I just..." Aigron replied with a seemingly very apologetic look, "I was just drowning in happiness so I forgot the time, please forgive me."

Her Royal Highness was angry at first, but soon she couldn't help laughing.

"You're such a bad guy!" she whispered, "God knows what punishment I've been subjected to, to be so manipulated by you..."

Having said that, her flushed face was clearly filled with joy, so these complaints were not lethal, but more like coquettish.

Will she really be tormented by such ordinary means to lose her temper? of course not. Maybe for her, acting like a girl in love and being at the mercy of others, this is a happy time.

Just as the teenager yearns for her warmth, she also greedily yearns for the warmth of the teenager, in order to regain her lost girlhood.

After a small disturbance, the two of them looked back at the stage, chatting casually, and time passed.

After all, it is her own work, so Aigron takes it very seriously, and although Chanel is on stage for the first time, she is also very hardworking and has been working hard to integrate into the play.

Driven by her, the atmosphere on the stage became even more tense. The actors did not dare to be compared by this newly added little girl, so they also performed hard, which made Aegron and Sophie look very engaged.

It was not until after today's rehearsal that they left reluctantly.

Naturally, on the way back, the two kept holding hands and snuggling together.

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

Aegron, who was in a good mood, was poured a basin of cold water the next morning.

"Prime Minister Metternich is looking for me?" Aigron, who had just finished his morning exercise, asked a little unhappily.

"Yes, Your Highness, please do it as soon as possible." The attendant who passed the order replied respectfully,

In desperation, Aigron had to throw the sword in his hand to his teacher, Captain Foresti, and then followed the attendant to the room where the Prime Minister was.

After Aigron entered the room, he immediately glanced at the Prime Minister who was standing by the window.

Although he looks older than when the two met alone a few months ago, it can be seen that his spirit is still very good. If the historical line does not change, then power, like the best life-extending medicine, will make this old man Can continue to dominate the empire for another 20 years.

"Your Excellency, I haven't listened to your teaching for a long time. I am really happy to have such an opportunity today." Aegron respectfully saluted the old man.

"His Royal Highness Franz, I am also very happy to have been witnessing your growth." Metternich also replied with a smile.

Although his smile was very warm, Aigron couldn't feel much smile from him.

"Excuse me, you came to me specifically today, what advice do you have?" He restrained his displeasure, and then asked.

"It's very simple, Archduke Karl specifically came to me yesterday and said that he hoped that I would be able to relax some restrictions on your movement, so that you can enter the state as soon as possible and perform your duties as a member of the royal family." The old man replied calmly, "His Royal Highness. ,What do you think?"

Aegron almost subconsciously felt that the other party was testing him.

"It's not something I can decide -" he replied, "but, for me, it would be better if there was a little more freedom of movement."

This is the most natural statement. He believes that Metternich has nothing to say even if he is picky.

"Don't worry so much, Your Highness, in fact, I have considered the request of the Grand Duke, and I think it is quite reasonable." Prime Minister Metternich smiled indifferently, "Although for your safety, it is necessary for me to isolate the outside world from intrusion. But considering that you are approaching adulthood, I think you should be given more experience so that you can fulfill the responsibilities that should be given to you in the future..."

"What do you mean?" Agron asked in confusion.

"If you want, you can perform some ceremonial official duties to let the outside world know that our little prince has grown up." The Prime Minister's tone did not fluctuate, "Of course, if you still refuse to be in good health this time. If I do, then I can't do anything about it."

really. Aigron was not too surprised, on the contrary, he was somewhat psychologically prepared for this.

Now that they have decided to use marriage to win over themselves, and they have also taken advantage of a close-knit princess like Teresa, with so much energy wasted, His Majesty the Emperor and His Excellency the Prime Minister will definitely not just be happy with multiple prisoners.

They will also slowly cultivate themselves to the standards of members of the imperial royal family.

Of course, the premise is given gradually, and one has to show loyalty gradually.

It's okay, you can.

"I am very happy to serve the Empire and His Majesty." Aegron replied with just the right amount of excitement.

"Although the Grand Duke did not say it explicitly, it is clear that this was influenced by Teresa." Prime Minister Metternich reminded in a low voice, "Your Highness, Teresa's role is really great."

Although these words are cloudy and foggy, compared with the diplomatic rhetoric that Prime Minister Metternich usually uses, it almost seems to be an explicit threat.

Accepting marriage is beneficial; if you don't accept it, there will be no good fruit to eat.

Aigron paused.

"Congratulations, although I had great confidence in you, I didn't expect you to go so well." His Excellency the Prime Minister smiled, as if full of relief, "In a sense, you should also thank me, because I advised His Majesty Looking for an excellent and qualified marriage partner for you."

"I thank you very much for taking care of me, Your Excellency." Aegron bowed his head and respectfully obeyed, "I am also very grateful to Her Royal Highness Theresa for your help."
