Eagle’s Glory

"Even if I'm a little late, don't you want to open the door for me a little bit and listen to my heart?"

Teresa's tone was hurried and her expression was very serious, enough to reveal her sincerity—of course, Aigron could also fully understand this.

It is obviously impossible to say that his heart is not touched. He is so recognized by people, or he is so recognized by people like Teresa, which is something to be proud of.

However, in the bottom of his heart, he knew that he was destined to just treat her as a pawn, so he was more afraid to have too many fetters with her, so he no longer knew how to respond to such kindness.

"I... I don't know if I'm worthy of you to do this." He pondered for a moment, then replied in a low voice, "You can see that I can't give you anything now, and maybe the same in the future. Besides, we've only met a few times. It's just a second time, maybe you have added a lot of halo to me and regarded me as a perfect person, but I know I'm not such a person."

"I never expected anyone to be perfect, or just because His Highness has His Highness's unique shortcomings, that makes people feel cute." Teresa shook her head gently, "Yes, in ordinary eyes. Look, it's really sloppy for me to make up my mind so quickly, but think about it, what else can I be picky about? If I say goodbye to you, maybe in the future I will marry the prince of this kingdom and that kingdom according to my father's order, what does he know? What? What's there to look forward to? I'm tired of seeing the mediocre in our own country, so what about the other country's? He might like to hunt - or worse - gamble and be ruthless. Light-hearted, shallow-minded, polite but inhumane... God, what is there to look forward to in such a life? Instead of living that kind of nauseating life, it's better to take this opportunity to find a person with whom you fall in love , maybe if you miss it, you won't have it again in the future..."

Then, she smiled wryly again, "Yes, you have no money and power now, and maybe you won't in the future, but so what? I'm not greedy for luxury, and my parents will give me a large dowry, as long as I plan carefully It's enough for me to finish my life. God has given me the luck to be born in this family, and I dare not ask for more. As I said, I just want to write a legendary story, and what kind of legend does it matter? What? If you are determined to forge ahead and yearn for prosperity, then I will help you to use your strategies to help you reach the top; if you just want to wander around the forest and indulge in writing, that's even better! I can accompany you everywhere , let you have no worries, and can help you organize your documents... You can even save money for hiring a maid! No matter which one, it's a life that I find interesting..."

Agron opened his eyes.

He never thought that Teresa would take the initiative to say such warm words.

And this warmth actually touched him.

Even without considering her identity, Teresa herself is so remarkable.

At this level, it would be a bit too impersonal not to say a few words.

"Teresa, thank you for your sincere warmth to me." He sighed with a little emotion, "But since I already have my own ideas, I won't change them easily."

His words were a pun, and of course Teresa could only understand the superficial meaning.

"Are you unable to part with Your Highness Sophie?" she asked immediately, then shook her head, "His Royal Highness, I understand your feelings, I didn't force you to promise me to act in your own interests now; if you do, On the contrary, I feel that your nature is cold. I just implore you to think about it carefully, and don't make fun of your future... She is willing to see you sink, but I am reluctant. You should weigh it carefully, and don't be in a hurry. Saying such cruel words, give us a little time and give ourselves a chance to get out of the dream... Isn't that good? Anyway, we are still very young, so Mom and Dad shouldn't mind waiting another year or two."

She is quite confident in herself, and feels that His Highness is only obsessed with Sophie, who has been benevolent to him because she has been extremely lacking in love since childhood, so she only needs a little time to touch him with sincerity, and eventually she will be able to touch his heart and make him understand How to do it in his own interest - after all, he himself knew that he and Sophie would never have a result.

As for what happened to them before, she had no intention of knowing, it was His Highness's freedom.

Under her gaze, although Aegron was calm on the surface, he was actually a little confused.

He knew what he had done, and because of that, he felt even more ashamed in the face of such unreserved kindness.

"Teresa, do you know what you're doing?" he blurted out. "You're risking yourself too."

"I know, but I think it's worth it, because if it works, I save a genius who has gone astray, and this may be one of the greatest achievements of my life." Teresa said lightly Nodding lightly. "Aigron...for me, and for yourself, nod your head, it's enough to do something as simple as that. I want to rescue you, and it seems that I am the best person, and that's why I have an obligation. , I do not allow you to easily throw away this opportunity, nor allow you to give up on yourself, because you are destined to be free from the mundane."

"Even if the price is you?" Agron turned his head and looked directly at the girl.

The girl was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly, showing a bright smile, "Then I have to say, I'm glad that the price is me, and I'm not worried about others coming."

This smile was so bright that Aigron was stunned for a moment.

No wonder she was so confident - if she had enough time, maybe she could really impress herself.

It can even be said that it is already a little moved now...

Seeing his excited look, Teresa snickered in her heart, and closed one eye playfully on her face, "So, how are you going to answer, Your Highness?"

lore.

Maybe he will regret it in the future, maybe it has seriously violated his original plan, but now he really feels that he can't say "no".

Under Teresa's playful and expectant gaze, in the end, he reluctantly let his passion kidnap him, and nodded.

"If you're willing to give me a chance..."

Ah!

Teresa could only feel a voice in her heart cheering.

She knows that she has succeeded - although this is only a staged victory, as long as there is a first step, isn't it easy to do next?

Along with the joy, came the incomparable shyness.

She didn't know how she finished the words and actions just now in one breath, and now it seems like she's dreaming.

Teresa didn't dare to look at the boy any longer, but looked back at the flowers in the distance.

"His Royal Highness, I am very happy, even I have a sense of accomplishment, because I finally pulled you from the edge of the cliff... I hope that all my efforts will not be in vain, and I hope that you can reach the height I hoped-- - No doubt, it will take hard work, but please believe that at least you will not be alone in this effort..."

After saying these words, she looked straight ahead and stretched out her hand to Aegron, "Let's shake hands and leave a testimony."

Her hands trembled slightly, and her face turned a little red, making Aegron smile a little.

In the subject of flirting, she really hasn't gotten started yet, but because of this, she has a youthful charm.

Now that he had reached this point, there was no need for him to refuse, so he also reached out and held Teresa's hand.

Although they danced together before and had physical contact with each other, but after all, it was just business at the time, and Teresa was still wearing gloves; now shaking hands again, feeling the slender and tender touch on her hands, Aegron couldn't help but feel. Also feel extremely comfortable.

"I only dare to say these words when the two of us are alone. If I leak a word to others, I will feel ashamed to death... So Your Highness, please keep it a secret for me." Teresa blushed slightly, "Also, say In the end, this is also your responsibility. If you had followed your Majesty's words earlier, how good would it be? If everyone is happy, I don't have to embarrass myself like this."

As soon as she said this, she couldn't hold back her anger, but this anger was not directed at the young man in front of her, but at the person who was secretly beguiling. If it weren't for her mischief, everything should be so perfect, and everyone gets their own way, why should she grit her teeth and do these things now.

Of course, the more angry she was in her heart, the more she would not let herself show it. She had already seen that Sophie had an extraordinary position in His Highness's heart, and it was not time to shake it.

"Does it make you feel happier to pretend that you are forced to hold back?" Aegron asked in surprise.

"That's natural." Teresa replied seemingly for granted, "How can you make me say these words on my own initiative! What a person with a heart of iron."

"Oh! Then I'm really sorry." Aegron couldn't help laughing and crying. "What should I do now? Can I make it up?"

"Of course it can be repaired, just a little to satisfy my injured heart." Teresa blinked, "For example, according to what I said the other day—"

"You mean kneeling down to propose marriage?" Aegron remembered immediately, "I'm sorry... I still think it's a bit difficult for me."

No, you definitely will. Just wait and see.

"It's alright, we still have time to think about it, maybe the two of us will think differently... Now let's not mention this." Teresa smiled again, and changed the subject vaguely, "Okay. Well, since we've already said this, there's nothing to say about it, let's take a break first."

She didn't let go, so the two of them held hands and sat side by side, quietly admiring the beautiful scenery outside the gazebo.

Although it was noon, the temperature in late autumn was still not high, and the cool breeze reverberated between the withered yellow and pink woods, as if it was playing harmonious music for them.

After an unknown amount of time, Teresa finally released her hand.

"Well, I think the ceremony is completed like this. Your Highness, I take every word you said seriously. You must not go back on it." Then, she told Aegron seriously.

Then, without waiting for Aegron to answer, she stood up again and walked out of the gazebo, "Okay, let's go back to lunch... We can't keep Mom and the others waiting for a long time."

Of course Aigron would not have any objections, so he followed Teresa and walked all the way back to the mansion.

They came to the dining room, and by this time the Archdukes and their children were already seated.

"Great, you just caught up, and I'm going to call someone to find you." Madame Henrietta was very happy when she saw two people coming, and then she motioned them to sit next to her.

On the dining table are silver cutlery and some rustic china with simple patterns. There are white napkins and tablecloths next to it. The furnishings on the table are not luxurious, but they do not humiliate the identity of the host.

"We don't pay much attention to food here, we will eat whatever the tenant brings." Henrietta smiled and nodded to Aigron, "But the taste is quite good, your Royal Highness Franz, you can eat more Taste it."

Then she glanced at her husband.

The Archduke was noncommittal, just picked up the utensils and started eating, which meant that lunch officially began.

Just after he finished his appetizer, the servants brought steaming soup to everyone.

"This is creamy oyster soup, an authentic French dish." Grand Duchess Henrietta smiled and said to the young man, "You must be in a landlocked country like Austria, and you don't usually have such an opportunity. Eat a little more today. Well, we also prepared a lot of French dishes, you can eat more."

"Thank you." Aegron didn't know why the other party made such an arrangement, but the guest did what the host wanted. Since the host was already so enthusiastic, there was no need for him to forcibly refuse.

Although the dishes are simple, the chef's craftsmanship is quite good. Aigron was already a little hungry, and this time he ate it even more.

"My mother always thought you would prefer French food," Teresa explained in a low voice, "so she made it specially prepared..."

Aigron smiled wryly. "Madam, you know, I grew up in Austria, so although I don't know which country I'm from, at least I'm not picky when it comes to my appetite, but I'm still very grateful for your enthusiasm for me... Thank you."

"Poor child!" Princess Henrietta sighed, but she seemed to have some emotions, "As long as you are happy, it doesn't make much difference in France or Austria, right? You can also have a good time here. Yes - at least, our Teresa, has always been empathetic."

After speaking, she couldn't help but laugh.
