"Okay, it's getting late, you go back. Good night."

His Majesty the Queen did not give Egron any chance to ask questions again, and waved him to leave.

Although there were too many things in my heart to ask, at this moment, Egron could only suppress the surprise in his heart and bow to His Majesty the Queen and bid farewell.

After exiting the balcony, he walked back to the living room just now under the guidance of the female official. At this time, His Majesty the Emperor had left to rest, so there were few people in the living room.

Standing in the living room that was quiet again, Egron felt a little dazed for a moment.

He was still shocked by what His Majesty the Queen had said just now.

Especially the sentence "So, I think...if you want to leave any memories, it's better to stay as soon as possible... while everything is still in the mood."

What exactly is His Majesty the Queen hinting at?

There is a very obvious fact - that is, Her Majesty the Queen has always tolerated and even acquiesced to Sophie's relationship with her. Because she felt that Teresa and her marriage plan were inevitable, she advised herself to leave beautiful memories with Sophie while she was not officially engaged.

What exactly does the so-called beautiful memories mean and what step they have reached?

Literally, this seemed to imply something very dangerous... but he was not sure, and it was even more impossible to ask clearly what it meant.

However, when asked, he really didn't expect that things would develop to this point, almost beyond recognition from his original idea.

He originally wanted to pretend to cooperate with the marriage plan and then use the reputation of Grand Duke Carl to realize his escape plan. However, it seems that he has become an obligation that he cannot escape from.

It can be imagined that if this matter was really finalized, Sophie would have reacted.

He absolutely doesn't want to let things go this far.

Sophie or Theresa, for him, this is not a multiple-choice question.

To be fair, Theresa is indeed very cute, and the two chatted very happily, but they only met a few times, how could they have such a deep emotional bond?

Sophie is completely different. The two of them have been together for two years and are so happy almost every day. She is meticulous and warm to him, and he is not only grateful to her, but also full of respect and admiration.

The only person he has felt guilty about what he did so far is her.

Besides, before he came, he had promised Sophie that he would not decide his lifelong affairs so quickly.

He is destined to hurt her, so he doesn't want to hurt her more once in this kind of exogenous problem.

Now, if he said bluntly, the consequences would be unpredictable. His Majesty the Emperor had already made his position clear last night. If he changed his words, God knew what would be dealt with next.

...But at least, you must find a way to slow down the marriage plan, at least not let it become a reality before you escape.

When he thought of this, he finally made up his mind.

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

As the sun rises, the farm has come to a new morning, and the people around His Majesty the Emperor are starting to get busy again.

His Majesty the Emperor himself was enjoying his vacation leisurely. He got up early in the morning for a walk and did not come back until near noon.

Egron also got up early too. Over the years, he had developed the habit of getting up early. Although his teacher did not follow him, he still took a sword from the guards and practiced by swinging his sword next to the groves of the farm.

Because he knew the lessons of the Roman king in history, he paid great attention to physical exercise so as not to end up with a great cause and death young.

In normal times, no one would disturb the Duke's practice, but today it was a little different - while Egron was practicing sword seriously, a girl in a skirt quietly walked to him.

The girl did not interrupt his practice without making a sound, but just stood quietly and watched the boy's practice.

After a while, Egron finally woke up from his concentration and immersion state, and then his attention began to disperse around him, and then he was shocked to find Theresa standing next to him.

"Good morning, Egron." Theresa greeted him with a smile.

"Good morning, Theresa." Aegron nodded and greeted him, then returned the sword to the guards.

"Your Highness's swordsmanship must be very good, right?" Teresa asked with a smile. "Although I don't know much about swordsmanship, you should be very powerful when you look so smoothly and beautifully."

"This is just a set of fixed movements, purely for physical exercise." Aegron shrugged, "If I had fought with the teacher, it wouldn't have been so smooth."

"So that's it..." Teresa nodded, "I heard from my father that your teacher is very proud of your swordsmanship. He believes that you rarely have a match among your peers, and even fewer adults can beat you."

"I hope he didn't mean to say good things to make us happy." Although Egron tried hard to show his favor and disgrace, he still couldn't hide his pride and pride in his heart.

"...I'm really happy to be friends with you, Egron." Theresa's smile also had a little unconcealed pride, "Your Highness, I firmly believe that if you can get the opportunity, you will definitely achieve great success. Your father's spirit in heaven will definitely be proud of you now..."

"I'm not qualified to be compared with him." Aegron shook his head sadly. "Now he is just a doll who is at will. Fortunately, some people are very nice to me, so my life is not that bad."

"Don't be discouraged, there will be a chance." Teresa leaned closer and comforted him in a low voice, "Hasn't your Majesty already said that, I really hope that you will serve the empire in the future. The older generation of our family will wither sooner or later, and your status in the family will surely rise... I will do my best to help you."

Teresa's words were reasonable, but immediately reminded Egron of the words Sophie had said to her.

Alas, who would put his destiny on the illusory "sooner or later"?

Seeing Egron's sudden despair, Teresa was a little annoyed that she had said the wrong thing, and suddenly she didn't know how to bring back the atmosphere.

The two of them were silent for a moment and walked back to the villa at the same time.

"Egron, you should be very short of friends from your peers." Teresa changed the topic again. "I can ask my father to find a few peers to let you know, maybe this will relieve your boredom."

"I did not before you, but I'm not sure if I lack it." Aegron replied calmly. "It's not a big regret for me to have no friends. Besides, there may not be a few people in Austria who are willing to be friends with me."

"You are too strong, Your Highness." Teresa shook her head, then sighed, "Okay, actually I'm about the same, what qualifications do you have to say to you...I don't have many friends either."

Then, she seemed to be talking to herself, "So, it is precisely because friends with like-mindedness are precious to us that we should cherish them more, right? If you can only talk to yourself with your eyes closed for the rest of your life, then what's the difference between sleepwalking..."

What strange metaphor is this? Egron is a little unpredictable.

He met his peers so few times, and so far there is only Teresa, so he can't tell whether he doesn't understand.

Since you can't understand it, there is no need to think too much.

In addition, now, I just need to take the opportunity to say it out.

Aegron stopped and looked at Teresa with a serious expression.

"Tresa, actually...I just happened to want to tell you something."

"What's the matter? Please tell me." Theresa was a little surprised.

...When the words were spoken, Egron was a little embarrassed again. He calmed down before speaking again.

"Tresa, I'll take the liberty to ask you a question... what do you think about the marriage?" Even Egron, who always doesn't care about other people's thoughts, knew it was a bit pretentious to ask such questions in front of girls, but he could only ask with the bullet.

As expected, Teresa opened her eyes wide, then covered with red clouds, and then forced her head to look in the direction next to her.

"... Sorry, I might have asked questions that I shouldn't have asked." Aegron quickly apologized, "If you are embarrassed, it doesn't matter."

"It's okay, it's okay... you should have known that in fact, you care about this matter, which surprised me..." Teresa's breathing was a little messy, so her words were a little quick, "I... I don't actually know how to answer. Family members like me should listen to elders in marriage matters, right? If parents nodded, what will we do to disagree? So, let your mother decide at that time..."

For some reason, Egron suddenly remembered what she said last night.

"That is to say, you are still hesitating, right?" He put aside his distractions and spoke carefully. "Tresa, to be honest, I'm not sure whether my current state can bring happiness to others. So I dare not promise anything, and I don't want to drag others down. I think I need to evaluate my future and then make a decision not to hurt others."

As he said one by one, Teresa's face turned pale.

"So, you mean...I'm not worthy?" she asked after a moment.

"No, I'm worried that I'm not worthy of you, so I think... I should consider it carefully." Aegron replied.

"Egron, I... can I take the liberty to ask you a question, too?" Teresa suddenly spoke.

"No problem, please ask." Aegron nodded.

"Is the reason why you think so... is because of Your Highness?" Teresa looked at Egron and asked in a low voice, "Maybe I did think too much, but I feel...I feel that your words are almost the same as hers that night, just like she taught you to say this."

"No...no, it's my own idea." Aegron shook his head.

"Is that true?" Theresa looked at Egron with a facial expression.

Then, she nodded gently, "Well, if this is your wish, that's OK, I can accept it. Maybe we really need to think carefully, making a decision like this is good for everyone."

Aegron felt relieved.

"But... I'm not easy to bully either. Your Highness."

Theresa suddenly said another sentence, then put aside him, turned around and walked straight away.
