93, meeting(1/2)
Under the brilliant lights, Egron leaned against the railing and looked at the stage.
He didn't struggle to find his cousin in the audience because he knew that the cousin must be watching him at this moment.
Look, watch it carefully! I am the one you want to be loyal to!
His heart was overwhelming, but on the surface he was silent, watching the stage performance like the most focused audience.
"Why did you suddenly become so serious?" Sophie was a little curious about his actions, so she walked to him and watched the performance together, "Aren't you still absent-minded just now?"
"Since I've come here, I think it's better for me to take a look." Aegron replied casually, "After all, this is our hard work, and the efforts of the actors are also worthy of appreciation."
Sophie was standing next to him, standing by the railing together. There was no doubt that with the help of the light, his cousin would be able to see Sophie's face clearly, but he felt that this was not a big problem.
"I remembered that when you say that," Sophie took over the topic casually. "These actors did perform better than I thought. At the beginning, when the manager said he wanted to use a bunch of unfamous actors, I was very worried! When I looked back, they were quite hard-working, um... Maybe it was because Chanel made contributions in urging them."
"So, how about we reward them?" Aegron suggested.
"Good idea!" Sophie suddenly became interested, "Anyway, this script surprised us and earned some money. Otherwise, I would give it to them as a reward..."
"Well, I don't need this little money anyway." Aegron thought for a while, then nodded, "By the way, we'll go to the backstage to thank them after the end. Thank them for their efforts."
"Yes." Sophie agreed without thinking, "I think these actors should be very curious about who the creator of the script, Mei Minggen, are, right?"
Her face was full of excitement, and she was obviously looking forward to seeing people with Egron as a new person.
However, she would never have thought that the young man made this proposal, which actually had a different purpose.
Egron stopped talking, but continued to watch the performance on the stage.
Soon, the performance ended, the curtain slowly fell, and the audience slowly left the stage after thunderous applause.
"Let's go over." Aegron turned his head and suggested to Sophie.
"My heart, have you forgotten something..." Sophie did not act immediately, but blinked.
Her voice was very soft, and seemed to be filled with endless temptation.
Aegron's heart trembled suddenly. Unexpectedly, when Sophie took the initiative to flirt with him, she would be so cute.
He smiled and approached Sophie, then took her to the shadow, then lowered his head and kissed her.
After the two of them separated their lips, they walked out of the private room with their hands together, then walked to the first floor, and then came to the back of the stage. At this time, the actors were preparing to go to the changing room to change their usual clothes.
"I'll go and give up with the actors," Aegron said to Sophie, "You can say a few words to the actresses."
"What are you really... what are you afraid of? I'm not such a petty person." Sophie rolled her eyes and then smiled happily, "My Aegron is not the kind of idiot who will be fascinated by vulgar fans. I still have this confidence."
No matter how much she said it, she was still happy to accept Egron's proposal.
Aegron gave Chanel a wink and signaled her to find a way to delay more time. Chanel nodded in understanding.
Aegron said goodbye to Sophie with confidence and then came to the actors' changing room.
The sudden appearance of the boy surprised the actors at first, but with the introduction of the theater staff, they quickly understood that this was the creator of the play they had just performed.
This sudden news attracted even greater shock, because the actors could not believe that the adult tragedy they had just performed actually came from a young man who seemed to be very interesting.
After a while, they finally accepted the facts and paid tribute to Egron, who also thanked them one by one for their dedication to the performance that allowed their script to be interpreted in the way he wanted to see.
Then, Egron continued to chat with them for a while, talking about his experience of the script and his outlook for the next script.
While chatting with them, Egron suddenly felt very happy. No one here knew that he was Napoleon's son, and no one called him His Highness. Everyone gave him only respect, and all this respect was not obtained through his so-called "bloodline", but through his own talents.
This really gave him confidence.
Of course, these actors were also very confused about the identity of the young man, because he knew that he had received a very good education and was extremely generous, so he would never come from an ordinary family.
However, the actors did not ask, after all, there were too many people using pseudonyms in this era, and these worldly-good people would certainly not violate the taboos of noble people for the sake of curiosity.
Unfortunately, this is destined to be just a brief meeting, and the young man knows that he has something more important to do.
"Goodbye, everyone." Aegron said goodbye to the actors, "I hope you all will become more famous actors in the future. What you showcase makes me feel that you deserve the praise of people."
"I also wish you to write a more touching work, sir." An actor bowed to the young man, "You have achieved such success at a young age. I firmly believe that as long as you continue to work hard, you will definitely be famous in history."
"Thank you." Aegron smiled, then turned and left.
After opening the door of the dressing room, he looked carefully and found that there was no one in the corridor.
He breathed a little relieved, then moved to the side, allowing himself to hide between the gap between the stairs and the storage.
As he hoped, there seemed to be a living black creature surging in the shadow, approaching him quickly.
Soon, a figure with a black hat appeared in front of Egron.
Then, the other party raised the brim of the hat and the two looked at each other for a moment.
They recognize each other without almost any identification.
Here comes!
Aegron felt that his blood was almost burning, but he restrained his excitement and suddenly pushed open the door of the storage room, then brought the other party in.
There was a lot of dust in the storage room, and there was a moldy smell, which was very bad. However, Egron didn't care at all, and he looked at the young man opposite him again.
The other party was also looking at Aegron, and seemed to be equally excited.
Immediately afterwards, the two people suddenly hugged.
"His Majesty!"
"My cousin!"
They greeted him in French.
Aegron's voice choked and tears appeared in his eyes.
Although most of his performance at this moment is his acting skills, there is also a little bit of true feelings from the heart - he has suppressed his feelings for many years for too long. At this time, a real "relative" came by his side, and the person who came to save him. How could he not be excited?
No matter how much selfish the other party is, he is very grateful to the other party.
After hugging for a moment, he let go of the other person.
"In the desperate situation, all we can rely on is relatives..." Aegron sighed, "Louis, we don't have much time, so I'll finish it as soon as possible."
"Please say it, your majesty!" the young man nodded, "I will remember every word you said."
"Very good." Aegron nodded, "First of all, I don't know how many rumors outside the world has ulterior motives about me, but I can tell you clearly that I have never thought of giving up my identity, nor have I thought of giving up the throne. Everything I did...is to revive the empire I lost. Please don't believe rumors, follow me, and move towards this goal for our family."
"I understand, Your Majesty." The young man nodded again, "I will feel relieved with your words! As long as you have no heart to die, the empire will not die."
Aegron smiled. “How many people do you have?”
"My financial resources are limited, and Austria is very good at preventing us, so we only have a dozen people to Vienna." Napoleon Louis Bonaparte did not say much nonsense, but answered directly, "But these people are absolutely loyal people, including my brother."
"Yes, another cousin of mine." Egron continued to smile, "I believe you, the previous generation of our family has done enough big things, and it's time for our generation to do the next!"
Then he changed his subject, "Louis, I order you to try my best to help me escape. I want to escape from Austria, here I can't do anything."
"Okay, your majesty." Louis straightened his waist and whispered, "I'll do my best."
"This kind of thing cannot be brute force. After all, no matter how powerful we are, we can't defeat a cavalry battalion. There are hundreds of cavalry battalions in Austria." Aegron shook his head and said his plan. "I thought about it. My best escape is here. You can create chaos in the theater at that time, and then I jumped down from the third floor and scrambled to escape from the audience-and you will help me conceive the escape route after escaping Vienna during this period, and prepare the necessary supplies and hiding places."
"I will prepare." Louis agreed immediately, "But your Majesty, it will take some time, and..."
His expression showed a little embarrassment, "As well as some money, we have some money outside, but we don't dare to show up casually after coming to Austria, so there is not much left on hand now."
"This is indeed necessary caution!" Egron glanced at him with praise, "It's okay, I will find a way to let Chanel give you money, don't save money, prepare more! As long as the goal is achieved, this cost is nothing. As for time, I have been waiting for so long, and it's nothing to wait for a while, but you must as soon as possible. The sooner the time is, the better! The crown of France is already shaking, and I don't want to wait for someone to pick it up before going to eat some leftovers!"
"Okay." At Egron's urging, Louis straightened his waist again, "Your Majesty, leave it to me, I will do everything."
"Very good..." Aegron nodded with a smile, "Okay, let's get here first today."
"How do we contact each other in the future?" Louis asked.
"The less we contact, the better. Unless it is crucial, you have to deal with it without telling me." Aegron explained to him carefully. "As for the most important ones, you can fake the letters sent to me by the theater and then send them to the following address... Remember, you must use a code and a numbing."
Then he told Louis about his communication with the theater and the hotel's room as a mailing address.
"Your Majesty... You are such a talent!" After hearing all this, Louis's eyes at Egron had changed, "I really didn't expect you to prepare so many things in an orderly manner..."
This cousin who has not yet grown up has indeed shocked him a little.
"If you lived my life like me since you were a child, you would have a lot of time to think about these things." Aegron replied half-jokingly and half-jokingly.
Then, he gently patted the other person on the shoulder, "My cousin, everything depends on you next. Our family is destined not to disappear into history in obscurity... I firmly believe this."
"I firmly believe this, too." Louis promised sternly, "Your Majesty, you have given me enough confidence, and I will also show my true skills and not let your hard work be wasted."
"Okay, goodbye." Aegron said goodbye to him, "I'll go out first, you'll leave later."
"Goodbye, your majesty." Louis bowed to Egron.
===========================================================================
Just as Egron met his cousin, Sophie was also giving up to the actresses.
Like Egron just now, when he saw Miss Meminggen, the actresses were also very surprised, and then looked at the young female author with admiration.
Sophie was able to enjoy the respect and admiration of others in her fabricated identity. She changed her usual style of being domineering and was very happy with almost everyone.
Chanel also deliberately pulled her to talk to the actresses to delay time so that her master could meet his cousin for longer.
"Okay, let's go back." Sophie felt a little tired after a while, so she said to Chanel.
To be continued...
