"In order for Agnes to give birth smoothly, I asked the doctor to prescribe her some tranquilizers to help her sleep, which is very good for her."
Although it didn't sound like a word of seduction, when Alice said these words in a soft voice, Aigron felt an indescribable sense of temptation.
At this time, Alice had already walked to his side, and the gauze on her body could no longer provide any blocking effect. He could see everything almost easily.
Even though he was used to seeing Fengyue, Aigron was still charmed by this sudden impact, and he was actually a little distracted for a moment.
It took him a long time to come back to his senses.
"Madam, why do you have to go to this step? Even if you don't do this, I won't really do anything to you. I said that I will not pursue the previous matter again."
"I not only want the 'before', I also have to chase the 'after'. I cannot accept that I will end my life in a situation of being exiled and forgotten, Your Majesty." Alice still answered softly, "I just said
I have already told you that I want to go back to my old job, and I am willing to pay any price for this—"
Having said this, she gently bent down and faced the ravine between the towering white peaks sitting in the bathtub. She picked up the towel on the table next to her and gently wiped Aiglon's shoulder.
"And in order to please you, this is the only bargaining chip I can give, isn't it?"
Being so stimulated by her, Aigron became even more excited and wanted to "teach" this seemingly dignified young lady a lesson right away. However, he still had the last trace of reason left in him, which made him hold back for the time being.
"Do you have to sacrifice yourself for a job?" Aigron asked, "Even if you are not in the palace, you are still Agnes's biological sister, and you will still be respected by everyone... Is it worth it?"
"Why do you have to ask me back? Your Majesty... shouldn't you understand my feelings best?" Alice wiped his back and answered his question in a low voice, "Even if you didn't risk your life from
If you run away from Switzerland, you will still be a member of the royal family, the Duke of Lechstadt, and the son-in-law of Archduke Karl. You will be respected in Austria and have countless properties... Then why do you run away? Because you
Know that all those things are not yours after all. The more charity you receive, the more unbearable it will be. You are only willing to enjoy everything you earn... The ambitious young man I met in Switzerland,
How could you be surprised by my choice?"
Alice's answer, although somewhat rude to Aigron, unexpectedly touched Aigron's heartstrings.
That's right, what Alice does is just like another mirror version (or a miniature version) of herself.
Faced with humiliation, she chose to fight tooth for tooth and fight with her life. Although she failed in the end due to bad luck and limited abilities, her spirit of "I would rather be broken than destroyed" is admirable.
"Madam, I am very satisfied with this answer. I agree." Aigron nodded lightly.
Alice's eyes flashed with joy, and then she immediately continued to wipe him carefully, "Everything I ask for may seem insignificant to you, but to me it is everything... In the palace
This position is my reputation, my career, and even a part of my life!
Your Majesty, even at this moment, I am still very grateful to you and Princess Theresa, because you gave me an opportunity to serve you, and this is equivalent to giving me another life! I am not exaggerating at all,
Because during this process, for the first time in my life, I felt that I could still accomplish so many things, and that I could not be deceived, despised, or humiliated! I became a person who could truly live for myself...
…
Of course, maybe all this is just an illusion, but I can't live without it. I can't bear to say goodbye to the palace and go back to live in a small place. Even if I have no worries about food and clothing, it is torture for me! So, Your Majesty...
...I beg you, give me another chance, forgive my mistakes, and let me prove it again. I paid all this price just for your forgiveness, one chance, really just one time...other than that
I don’t want anything else, I’m not blackmailing you, I’m pleading with you! Please!”
After speaking her true feelings in a plaintive tone, Alice slowly took off the gauze covering her body, which also meant that she had left behind the last layer of "resistance" and "hesitation" in her mind.
, she wants to get what she dreams of, and is even willing to trade her body and soul for it.
Is she feeling ashamed? Of course she is extremely ashamed. Although she has been accustomed to the romantic affairs of ladies in Paris social circles since she was a child, Alice, who has always held herself to the "highest standards", has never done anything like this.
There was something about infidelity, but now, she had to cross a series of thresholds and jump directly to the last step, actively recommending herself to a man who was several years younger than herself. Isn't this a huge psychological impact on her?
But after a series of changes in the past, her current mentality is completely different from the past.
Since Treville and his son treated her like this, why should she keep her chastity for Edgar? Besides, from now on, the husband and wife will become completely sworn off, and even the bottom line has been broken. Wouldn't it be ridiculous to continue to worry about romantic affairs?
Now, she even has a secret desire for revenge, and she can't wait to use her deliberate depravity to "compensate" for what Edgar did to her.
At this moment, Aigron was gradually being swallowed up by desire.
I want to ask, when a beautiful young woman is so close to them and expresses her willingness to "give everything" without reservation, how many men can resist this temptation? Maybe, but it is definitely not a promiscuous prince like Aigron.
.
Although he originally planned to recall Alice after a while, since she had already arrived at his door, why not accept it? Anyway, it was not him who forced her to do this through bullying.
Because of this thought, Aigron became more energetic. He sneered slightly and looked at the other party with eyes that seemed to be sarcastic.
"Madam, I think you know even if I don't tell you that, whether in the court or among the people, there are many beautiful women who want to get close to me in your way. If you want to show your ability, just now
I'm afraid that's not enough? You still seem to be very new to pleasing others..."
Alice's face suddenly turned red after being laughed at by Aiglon.
After a fierce ideological struggle, I finally felt that I would give up everything to please His Majesty in exchange for a chance to go back. However, I didn't expect that when I first came on stage, I would receive such an almost humiliating response.
Wasn't she beautiful enough? She was not convinced. After all, she had stayed in the palace for so long and was used to seeing ladies and ladies who came and went from the palace. Among this group of Yingying Yanyan, she asked herself whether it was her appearance or talent.
She will never be inferior to anyone. Even the little sister Agnes who is really favored by His Majesty, deep down in her heart, she feels that it is just her sister who is lucky enough to be the one that His Majesty likes, not her younger sister.
Be stronger than yourself.
However, now her self-confidence has been hit by a bucket of cold water.
She was not convinced.
The pain of being suppressed and despised for a long time has already turned into distorted self-esteem in her heart. She takes revenge on her husband and father-in-law, and she is not willing to be despised by His Majesty.
And she knows that her most "persuasive" weapon right now is not language, but her body.
So, she bit her lip gently with her teeth, then gritted her teeth and threw away the towel, and then her whole body was pressed against Aigron's white back.
Ah, she is really determined...
Since she is like this, why not obey her?
"Madam, have you thought about how to explain it to your sister?" He asked this question with the last bit of reason.
"Why do you need to explain?" Alice had obviously considered this question a long time ago, so she immediately answered, "Your Majesty, you are just taking a rest here. Even if anything happens, nothing has happened...
…I have no intention of becoming like my sister. On the contrary, I still appreciate Queen Teresa’s kindness to me and don’t want to embarrass her. So, I don’t need to let anyone know about this. If you don’t mind...
We, we just hang out like friends."
Although she looked calm on the surface, her blushing face and slight breathing revealed her shame and nervousness at the moment.
"Friends? Is this what friends should do?" Aigron couldn't help laughing.
Of course, this was just him teasing Alice on purpose. He probably understood Alice's thoughts: she didn't want to be his public lover, and she didn't want to use the opportunity to blackmail her. She just wanted to please her.
opportunity, in exchange for bringing her back to the palace as soon as possible and continuing her original job as a steward who is not noticed by the outside world.
Should we say that her ambition was strong in the past, or should we say that her thoughts became distorted after being suppressed?
In short, Aigron doesn't want to delve too deeply into the root of this thought. After all, he is not a psychiatrist, he is just a dissolute prince who likes to have fun.
"In France, this is what can be done between friends." Alice replied in a low voice. "Your Majesty, isn't this good? I won't make it public and save you extra trouble. You can just follow the original
Getting along with Agnes like that...what else do you have to worry about? Do you really have no feelings for me?"
"Of course not!" Aigron suddenly turned around, then reached out and grabbed Alice's hand, and then pulled her into the bath amidst her exclamations.
Under the illumination of the candlelight, the clear water seemed to have an extra white mermaid, instantly filled with a mind-blowing brilliance.
"Is this your first affair?" Aigron asked out of nowhere, not knowing why.
"Even if it wasn't, I would say it was the first time..." Alice couldn't help but laugh, but she quickly stopped her smile and nodded lightly, "But I still have to say, yes.
, of course, it’s up to you to believe it or not.”
"I believe it." Aiglon replied without hesitation, "Because if you were that kind of person, you should have thrown yourself into my arms at the beginning, why wait until now - if I have never made you attracted, then
There's probably no one else."
Alice was naturally amused by Aigron's shameless boasting, but she vaguely felt that it made sense.
At this moment, she also recalled her first meeting with this handsome young man in Switzerland, and recalled the scene when he was boating on the lake and passionately composed an impromptu poem on the lake.
Indeed...it's very fascinating. No wonder Princess Teresa and her sister are so enamored of him.
"Then, am I the first wife you have tried?" Alice asked in a low voice, as if by mistake.
"Yes." Aiglon answered without hesitation - there was no flaw in his answer.
Of course, this is a lie. Not only did Aigron try a wife, but that person was even his aunt - but since it can increase the interest of the moment, why not say this?
Sure enough, Alice became even more emotional. This unexpected "honor" also filled her with a strange sense of excitement.
Both of them clearly knew in their hearts that this was a "transaction" in which chips were exchanged for power, but because of their mutual recognition and appreciation, it seemed as if they were covered in a layer of "infidelity" powder.
Is this a lover's relationship? It doesn't seem to be the case. If I can barely describe it, it is a friendship that goes beyond friendship. In France, this kind of contradictory statement often seems to be true.
Whether she is really emotional or "needs it", all in all, Alice is full of charm at this moment. Her blue eyes are looking directly at Aigron, as if asking him why he hasn't "take action" at this time.
”.
Seeing the rippling look of the young woman in his arms, Aigron finally couldn't bear it anymore.
He's had enough of his "flirting", now it's time to reap the fruits.
At this time, Alice had also let go of all guarding and resistance.
The "deal" that Alice had been dreaming about was finally officially implemented. Of course she could get what she wanted in exchange.
Everything is so noisy, but only the two of them can hear the noise, and this will be a secret between only the two of them.
