Eagle’s Glory

After saying goodbye to the manor of Archduke Karl's family, Aigron took a carriage and returned to Schönbrunn Palace under the **** of guards.

When he returned to the palace where he had lived for more than ten years, he unexpectedly had some nostalgic experiences of the days before him.

Although Emperor Franz and Archduke Karl were brothers, their personalities were almost completely different, one was gloomy and indifferent, the other was majestic and sincere, so their family atmosphere was completely different. The days he lived with Archduke Karl truly experienced the ease of family life. Comfort, a feeling he had almost never enjoyed before.

However, it was a pity that he was destined to only enjoy it briefly.

The moment he entered the gate of the palace, he quickly adjusted himself and returned to his old indifference.

"Your Highness, you're finally back!" When she saw him walking back to her residence, the maid Chanel was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly saluted him.

"Long time no see, Chanel." Agron nodded to her with a smile.

After laughing for a while, Chanel looked at him carefully, "Are you having a good time over there? Your Highness Theresa will definitely entertain you very warmly, right?"

"Yes, it was a great time to stay," Agron replied. "Not only Teresa, but their whole family was very warm to me, it made me feel at home—"

"That's natural. It's their honor to have a guest like His Royal Highness." Chanel's smile became a little reluctant, "What's more, they want to make His Highness a family member... So they will definitely be more attentive. Bar."

Aegron didn't know how to answer for a moment, so he changed the subject.

"By the way, has something happened here recently?"

"Nothing important happened." Chanel shook his head, "However—His Royal Highness Sophie misses you very much, and has been asking when you will come back these past few days. I can't help thinking that if you directly If she doesn't come back, what will happen to her?"

"Your joke is not funny." Agron frowned. "Chanel, do you seem to be in a bad mood?"

"Your Highness, what you said is too much. How can I be angry with you? Besides, I have always tried my best to serve you, how can you think I will have any opinion on you?" Chanel lowered Head rebutted.

Agron didn't quite understand what was going on with her, so he looked at her suspiciously.

"Sorry, Your Highness, I... I shouldn't have spoken to you like this, I just... I was just a little worried." After a while, Chanel knew that he had overstepped himself, and began to apologize to him again, "I For fear that you will indulge in temporary comfort and forget your mission..."

Chanel's answer made Aegron understand. "Thank you for your reminder, Chanel, I admit that I was in a trance for a moment, but soon I woke up... I can see clearly that all this can't satisfy me, I have to control my own Destiny, so the plan remains the same - you don't have to worry about my loss of will, and you don't have to worry about your revenge."

"Your Highness, that's great... I knew you would stick to your will." Chanel finally smiled, "Please forgive my offense just now..."

"It doesn't matter, it's a good thing that you can do your persuasion." Aegron nodded, indicating that he would not take it to heart.

Chanel seemed to be recharged with electricity, and suddenly regained her usual energy. She quickly packed the luggage that Aegron brought back, and then lit the incense in the room.

The scent of rose essential oil revived Aigron's spirit.

"Chanel, are you free to pick up a pen now? If you are free, please record it for me."

"I'm free, but... Your Highness, you just came back, don't you take a break?" Chanel hesitated.

"There's no need to rest, I didn't walk back by myself, I just slept on the carriage, I wasn't tired." Aigron shook his head, "I have some inspiration now, it would be a pity if I missed it, so Why don't you just write it down-"

"Okay, then do as you said." Chanel agreed with the master's opinion, and then, as usual, went to the desk and picked up a pen and paper to prepare a record.

However, just as the young man walked to the window and looked at the scenery outside the room, ready to read out the idea in his mind, the door of the room was suddenly knocked softly.

Chanel stopped writing.

She was not surprised, as if foreboding.

"That arrives so fast……"

Aegron also stopped, and he seemed to have guessed who was coming.

"Go open the door." He waved.

Chanel obeyed the order, walked to the door, and opened it gently.

The moment the door was opened, Chanel was suddenly pushed open, and then a figure in a skirt walked in quickly and came to the young man.

She looked at the young man quietly, as if trying to analyze from his face what was unusual about him and before.

"His Royal Highness, long time no see." Aegron greeted her with a smile, "I was planning to visit you later."

"You're finally back..." Princess Sophie breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought you were going to be gone forever!"

"You don't have to worry about this. If I really leave here one day, I will also say goodbye to you first." Aegron replied with a smile.

"Don't say such terrible things with a smile on your face!" Sophie scolded Aegron, then suddenly hugged him, "I haven't seen you in such a long time... God! You are such an asshole, I haven't heard from you for so long!"

"I can't write to you there..." Aegron smiled bitterly.

"Then you...then you seem to please that family?" Sophie asked nervously.

"Their family is indeed very polite to me, so polite that it even embarrassed me," Aegron replied. "However, I kept the promises between us and promised them nothing."

"At last you still remember!"

After getting the answer she wanted, Sophie was overjoyed and a smile appeared on her face.

Suddenly she remembered that there was another person here, so she whispered to Chanel.

"go out!"

Chanel felt very uncomfortable, but she could only reluctantly obey and went out.

After there were only two people left in the room, Sophie's expression became more relaxed.

"Finally no one can disturb us."

When she was finally in a better mood, she naturally sat back next to the desk and picked up the pen. "Looks like you're going to start writing as soon as you get back? What a satisfying passion. So, it's time for me to help you."

"thanks."

Aigron first thanked him, then walked back to the window, and then began to eloquently read out the lines he had just conceived.

And Sophie didn't say a word, and quickly recorded it on the paper, as if taking this as her rare entertainment.

After an unknown amount of time, Aegron finally stopped reading, and at the same time, Sophie finally stopped writing.

"It's really tiring." Sophie pinched her numb right hand.

"His Royal Highness, you don't have to make yourself so tired, just let Chanel come." Aigron felt a little distressed.

"It's okay, I feel very happy from the bottom of my heart when I think that I have saved you so much hard work with my own labor." Sophie laughed.

Then, she changed the subject, "During the time you were away, the theater showed your script a few times, and the reverse was pretty good, so the theater was very satisfied—they recognized your talent."

"Really? That's great."

Although Aegron didn't really aim to be a playwright in life, he was still happy when his talent was recognized.

"They didn't just say thank you, what the theater means now is that they are willing to cooperate with Mr. Franz Memmingen for a long time and stage his works." Sophie continued, "In addition, they give you back Sent a promissory note for your share of the time. Are you proud of yourself, Aegron?"

"Yes, I'm a little proud." Aigron nodded, "This proves that even if I lose everything I currently have, maybe I can still survive on my own."

"What to lose everything? Can't you say something nice?" Sophie couldn't help but rob him, "Aigron, you will have everything, whether it's honor, money, fame, or the admiration of everyone...because this is Of course you deserve it!"

"Lend your good words." Aegron thanked her with a smile. "I'll never forget how much help I got from you... I hope the little money I've made will make up for the money you've lost because of me."

"It's still too early to make up for the loss, I'm afraid you have to put in more effort—" Sophie smiled and shook her head, "But you don't need to worry about that, the money I spend is neither a liability nor an investment. , if you have to have a name, it is also a gift, as long as you and I are happy..."

After hearing this sentence, the young man's heart was suddenly filled with emotion.

Maybe in his personal impression, Sophie is full of beautification, but all along, her care and love for herself are not exaggerated at all.

Maybe she is not Cinderella, nor Beatrice, not any idealized person, she has her own shortcomings, but even so, she is unique to him.

"His Royal Highness, it is the luckiest thing in my life to meet you. Without you, I really don't know how to get through this depressing and lonely time." He felt moved, "I I will remember this good fortune until I get to the ground."

"Don't be stupid." Sophie smiled and shook her head. "You can't say such unlucky words at a young age. I don't want you to go into the ground, just stay by my side."

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

After returning to the court, Aigron's life returned to its former calm, but compared to the past, his schedule was much more fulfilling.

He not only had to deal with his own education, but he also had to pass on letters through Captain Foresty, keep in touch with the theater, and occasionally sneak off to the theater with Sophie to watch his own play.

Every time he went to the scene in person and saw the audience cheering collectively after the script was finished, he felt a sense of accomplishment spontaneously.

The only regret is that no one has come to him so far.

The people he was looking forward to were still without news, as if they had disappeared.

But he is not in a hurry, because it is useless to be anxious, he is just full of hope and waits.

Before you know it, time is passing by quietly, the wind and sunshine of late autumn has ended, and the bitter winter has come quietly.

Because it is located on the Danube River, Vienna is very windy in winter. Even in the daytime, the raging cold wind will ruthlessly sweep through the streets and alleys with a whistling sound.

However, the cold wind could not stop the enthusiasm of citizens from taking to the streets.

because--

Carnival has come.

Every winter, the capital of this empire will be immersed in the sea of ​​joy. People who have worked hard for a year, no longer want to let go of this time when they can finally rest, they will vent their body and mind in various ways.

They will sing and dance to celebrate the hard-won peace.

Citizens will not know that this year's carnival, Vienna will have two more unexpected guests.

In the Schönbrunn Palace in winter, the night will be very early. It was just about five o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky was already dark.

Vienna in the distance was already brightly lit, and the court was still silent, proudly cutting itself off from the world.

At this moment, Sophie quietly came to Aegron's room again.

"Aigron, is there something wrong with calling me over suddenly?" she asked.

"Your Highness, is it the day we go to the carnival tonight?" the young man asked.

"Yeah, what's the matter?" Sophie nodded, "I'm going to call someone to inform you later..."

"I think I should make some preparations in advance." Aegron replied with a smile, "Since it's a carnival, should I have some kind of costume?"

"When we usually go out, don't we just dress up?" Sophie felt a little strange.

"No, that's different, I'm going to have something interesting-" Aegron continued to smile, "I hope I can give you a little surprise."

"Really?" Princess Sophie was even more surprised, she nodded with a smile, "Then you really made me look forward to it - well, what is the surprise?"

"Wait a moment." Aegron made a gesture, signaling His Highness to wait first.

Then, he went back to his bedroom.

Sophie waited quietly, but soon, the door opened again, and then the young man with a new look came out again.

Sophie opened her eyes slowly, then changed from surprise to surprise.

The teenager was wearing a dark brown vest and coat, loose leather pants on his legs, stockings and round-toed suede shoes on his feet. On top of his head, he also wore a dome hat with feathers.

After putting on this suit, the young man looks handsome and free and easy, and more importantly - as if he came from Bavaria.

Agron walked in front of Sophie, then respectfully took off his hat and saluted her.

"Your Highness, what do you think?"

Sophie didn't answer immediately, but hugged him with some shortness of breath.

Seeing the service in her hometown, she was more and more moved.

"God...it's so similar." She kissed the young man's forehead and almost cried, "Aigron, my heart...If you were so considerate all the time, I would never be troubled again. ."
