216, resonance and recognition

In Agnes's silent sob, Alice did not say a word and hugged her sister to express her determination to keep her promise.

The relationship between the two sisters has caused some rifts due to different positions and a series of changes, but the trust and friendship they have accumulated over the years are still firmly bound by the two people, and they are reluctant to blame and separate.

Alice knew that her sister's spirit was now stretched to the limit, and she did not intend to put any pressure on her - and now that her purpose has been achieved, she no longer needs to put any pressure on her.

Therefore, she kept comforting her sister.

After a while, Agnes's spirit finally calmed down. She wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes, and then looked at Agron, who had been silent next to her with some shame.

"Sorry, King of Rome, I have lost my composure and will make you laugh..."

"It's okay, Agnes, your incompatibility proves just how noble your heart is. You are not crying for yourself, but for your family." Agron shook his head and replied slowly, "These tears are so sincere that no one can deny its value."

Agnes' comfort made Agnes feel a little better.

Then, Agnes left her sister's arms and saluted and thanked Agron solemnly.

"Thank you for your help... I understand that what you want to pay is much more expensive than my tears, so I will always remember your kindness--"

"Miss Agnes, I said, I helped me out of my friendship. I hope to see you as cute as before. If you are so respectful to me, it is contrary to my previous intention-" Agron smiled and shrugged, "If you really thank me, please treat me like in the past, and then, as friends, let's get along well... I don't know why, once you are by my side, I will always feel very happy."

Agron's words were full of joking, which made Agnes blush.

If it were normal, she would probably be furious, but she did not have an attack this time.

She had just seen her father's letter, and her father's words were still in her ears - although she didn't understand her father's hint, just looking at the literal meaning made her feel a little clear about the situation.

"It is her unlucky life that she can have a friend who is as knowledgeable and talented as you. If she can grow a little by little by little by little by little by little, it will be enough to make me feel comfortable."

She clearly remembered that this slutty young man had shamelessly flirted with himself before. Before he could take revenge and get back his face, he had to "give up his past grudges". Instead, he had to whisper to him for the sake of his family.

When she thought of this, her heart couldn't help but feel depressed.

Aegron's joke reminded her of those memories, and at this moment she could not have an attack, so she could only bear it silently.

"You are amazing in everything. If you are more serious, wouldn't it be perfect?" She whispered after holding it in a while.

She did not expect that this faint resistance did not discourage Egron, but instead increased his interest.

"If I'm so serious, where should you look for the peers you're looking for?"

... Seeing the arrogant look of the young man, Agnes was even more angry for no reason. He waved his hand and wanted to punch him twice, but he could only endure it silently. He simply gave him a blank look, lowered his head and stopped talking.

Alice didn't hear what the two were saying clearly, but when she looked at her sister's blushing face, although she didn't understand the inside story, Alice also knew that she should smooth things over.

"Okay, Agnes, the most important thing has been solved now, and you don't have to worry about anything anymore." So she quickly spoke. "Now, you should follow your father's will, enjoy our journey here, and follow His Majesty's instructions."

"I know." Agnes nodded, "Don't worry, I won't cause trouble for everyone."

Aegron and Alice looked at each other and felt relieved, but their contents were different.

Since Agnes has surrendered and seems to have accepted the reality of "people are under the roof", then the next step should be to showdown and let Agnes follow Agnes' will and play "Joan of Arc" for him.

But they all knew that Agnes had just experienced a mental blow (and it came from her most beloved sister), and now it was not a good time to showdown.

Besides, she just pulled her father out and mentioned this matter now, it would obviously make her feel "coerced".

Although it is indeed a deception and coercion, the nobles should try their best to do everything decently, especially for people like Agnes who are soft but not hard.

So both of them tacitly suppressed this matter for the time being - anyway, there is still a chance to let Agnes submit.

Agnes didn't know that there was still such a thing waiting for her, and at this moment she felt relieved.

Since the heavy pressure in my heart has been removed, there is still some time before I go back, so it is better to calm down and enjoy this journey.

After all, the girl's heart and worries come and go quickly. She raised her head and looked at Alice, and the original haze in her eyes had been wiped out.

"Sister, do you have anything else to tell me?"

"No more." Alice shook her head, and then told her sister, "But don't forget the agreement between us - I will test you."

Agnes's face suddenly turned red again.

Of course she understood what her sister meant - she was asked to practice her dancing posture so that she could dance with the Roman king at that time.

In the public eye, dancing hand in hand with this guy, and practicing hard to please him, how shameful it is... Agnes blushed the more he thought about it, and he wanted to find a place to get in.

Agron was confused, but he felt very cute when he saw Agnes's rare shy look, so he looked at him with interest.

"Okay! I know everything!" This gaze made Agnes feel like a thorn on her back, and in the end she broke out, "Is there nothing else? Then you go and let me be quiet alone!"

Her nervous look made the other two smile, so they left the room together.

"It looks like Agnes is in a bad state today, and she is completely different." After coming out, Agron said to Alice.

"It's good, it's more like a duke lady." Alice replied with a smile, "I thought she would never know how to be shy."

"There are many Duke Miss who can use this trick to show her charm, but Agnes is unique. I prefer her original, proud and radiant." Agron said with emotion, "Of course, it would be of no interest to see her like this occasionally..."

"It's a great honor for you to judge her like this. Unfortunately, there are not so many people in Paris who understand these principles." Alice sighed, "I'm really worried about her. Those princes and grandchildren are all blind, because of some inexplicable concerns to keep away from her..."

"If Agnes is forced to change herself in order to please them, that is the pearl of dust." Agron replied disapprovingly, "Is she the only way to go?"

"Your Majesty..." Alice looked at Egron with a little surprise, and then sighed, "She should get married and have children."

"You got married and had children, but you didn't choose the prince--" Aegron replied with a smile, "You have made a rebellious choice on this path and even paid the price of breaking with your parents for it. So why do you think Agnes has only one way to go?"

Aegron's rebuttal made Alice choke.

Yes, why? I haven’t walked that far, so why do I think my sister should walk that way?

She had never thought about this problem, so she suddenly encountered it and fell into confusion.

After a while, she finally found an answer-

Perhaps, it is precisely because I know the consequences of choosing another path that I subconsciously think that she should take that path.

Although I never regretted my past choices, I already knew that it was full of hardships and misery that was not worthy of being told to others, so I didn't want my sister to experience it. I would rather live a vanity, exaggeration, but also a comfortable and wealthy life like those "normal" ladies - even if I paid the price to change myself.

Wouldn't that be fine?

But no matter what, she was unwilling to express her true thoughts in front of His Majesty.

"Your Majesty, you have a reasonable point," she slowed down. "But, from my sister's standpoint, I don't want to see Agnes's life go through, I just want to see her live as safely as possible and happy as possible, even if it's mediocre, it's better than suffering."

Agron knew in his heart that Alice had no intention of "selling girls to seek honor". The reason why Agnes pleased her was just to praise her for happiness in exchange for favors, and she would not go further.

So, unlike Edgar, you cannot expose your true intentions too early in front of her.

"Madam, you may have forgotten that even though Agnes is your sister, she has grown up, and she has enough reason to decide her life. At most, others only suggest, and cannot decide her life." He said insincerely that he did not believe, "I think that Agnes does not need to seduce people, and build herself into a savvy Duke Miss. She is now cute enough - whether it is increasing or decreasing. If such a cute lady is not tolerated by the upper class, it is obviously a problem in that society. I will trample on it and destroy it until it recognizes Agnes' cuteness."

"You should say this to her, she will be very happy." Alice couldn't help but cover her mouth and laughed. "It's so lucky to be able to get your friends who recognize her like this!"

It is a bit unaware that such words are said by others, but they are sufficiently persuasive when they say them in this young man.

At least Alice believed that he could really do it.

Yes, with His Majesty's personality and his appreciation for Agnes, as long as he really achieves his ambition, Agnes' reputation and status will naturally rise, and he will not have to worry about his sister not getting married.

Now, not only myself, but my husband's family and my parents' family, the fate of the two families is also dependent on this young man. No matter how much the price he pays, he will help him achieve success no matter what.

"Madam Alice?" Just as Alice was thinking, Aegron spoke again.

"Your Majesty, what are your instructions?" Alice quickly focused.

"Originally, I thought you were the most talented lady I have ever met, but after today's confrontation, I found that your willpower and action are not inferior to men, which is really eye-opening." Aegron smiled and praised Alice with exaggerated words. "After coming back to his senses, you cleverly used the information you learned, and then seized the fleeting opportunity. In the face of such a shortage of resources, you still let yourself get along with me, and even used me... This is really not something that ordinary people can do, and I am deeply impressed. I am not angry at all, but I appreciate this performance."

"You're too much. I'm not very powerful. I just have to rack my brains for my family. It's better to say pitiful than respectable." Alice shook her head and replied slightly melancholy, "If you can enjoy wealth while sitting still, then who doesn't want to be elegant and calm?"

"There are poor people all over the streets, and there are very few people who can find ways to fight fate. People who cry and commit misery do not get sympathy, and those who fight fate deserve praise - I have always believed that, and you just practice my philosophy. Rather than saying that I want to help you, I want to reflect my own philosophy in you - the more you achieve great things, the more I am right, and the more I am wise and correct..."

Alas, my sister is right, this person always keeps being arrogant... Alice complains in her heart, but of course she dare not show it on her face.

However, she was not disgusted.

Maybe this is indeed a spiritual resonance, and she is deeply impressed by this young man.

Under Alice's gaze, Aegron became more and more excited as he spoke. Finally, he couldn't help but clench his fists and waved them slightly, "Many ladies in Paris must have your beauty, but I believe your courage and cleverness are very rare. Oh, who could have thought that a mediocre person could give birth to such a brilliant daughter, and they were two! He is so lucky."

"Your Majesty!" Seeing that Egron said something worse and wrong, and even defamed her father, Alice had to speak out and stop him, "You really went too far."

"No, I don't. I believe my judgment is right." Egron shook his head, still stubborn.

He changed his subject, "Madam, you are my subordinate and my friend--this was the case in the past, and from today on I have given you mission and trust, do you know what that means?"

"What?" Alice asked blankly.

"That means that you are here, not just Edgar's wife, not a irrelevant vase, but someone who can be qualified to work with me, someone who deserves to share my career."

Then, he suddenly reached out to Alice.

Alice was confused, but frightened by Egron's momentum, she subconsciously stretched out her hand.

Aegron took the white and tender hand and gently kissed the back of her hand.

"If you prove that you are indeed as capable as you do, then you will have more opportunities to show yourself in the future - I promise. I will never treat any meritorious ministers, nor will I be stingy in repaying them, whether they are men or women. Work hard, madam, I wish you success!"

After saying that, Egron put down her hand, nodded and said goodbye, and then left without looking back.
