Following Extras 25 and 26, the world line in which Queen Teresa rebelled and failed...
As the sun gradually set behind the horizon outside the window, Queen Theresa stopped playing the piano, and the melodious and sad sound of the piano suddenly stopped.
Although it seems that this is her usual piano room, and her schedule is not much different from before, at this moment, Queen Theresa is at the lowest point in her life.
Yes, she spent another day under house arrest.
No one asked her for advice, no document required her to sign, and no words from the outside world came to her. Although she still had the title of queen at the moment, she was actually no different from a prisoner.
But even so, she was still the Queen of the Empire before Aigron issued an edict to abolish her. Under Aigron's order, her living conditions were not reduced too much, and no one dared to abuse her.
Teresa had long been mentally prepared for her current situation, so she was unusually calm. She lived a normal daily routine, eating, sleeping, playing the piano and reading books. She neither talked to the people around her nor asked any questions, as if
Turned into a wind-up doll.
This calm and calm attitude made people who knew the inside story secretly admire her - she was worthy of being a queen.
Of course, Teresa did not become a "walking zombie", nor was she so heartbroken that she still had hope in her heart.
Because, not long ago, Aigron came to visit her in person, and then the two "grudge couples" had a quarrel, and then reminisced about the past relationship between husband and wife. In the end, Aigron relented and proposed a proposal.
A compromise plan - Teresa goes back to her parents' home in Austria for a while to visit relatives, and then reunites after the impact of the incident subsides.
However, Teresa was sad and insisted that the couple go together. In the end, after hesitation, Agron agreed to Teresa's request. It was agreed that after a period of time, after he had finished handling important matters,
After communicating with the Austrian side, I went to Austria with Theresa for a visit.
The royal couple's visit to a foreign country is indeed a rare event in Europe today, and it is normal for it to take some time to prepare. Therefore, Teresa did not continue to urge her, but repeated her daily life after being imprisoned, waiting quietly.
That day comes.
Of course, until now, she still has not regretted what she did.
Just as she was sitting on a chair looking out the window, subtle footsteps suddenly sounded at the door. Then the footsteps got closer and closer to the door, and then she opened the door without knocking.
Is Your Highness here?
Teresa was overjoyed, but she still did not look back. After all, she was still "a guilty person" at the moment, and she was still a little awkward in her heart. She wanted her husband to come face to face with her.
But soon, she realized something was wrong, because her husband's footsteps had always been strong and strong. Although the sound of stepping on the floor was not loud, it had that awe-inspiring force. This time, the footsteps were softer.
, it sounds like it should be a woman.
Even if she is guilty, she is still a queen. For a woman who dares to come in without knocking, could it be that... Theresa has a bad feeling in her heart.
Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, the blood in her body rushed to her brain, and her originally calm state of mind suddenly fluctuated violently.
Her worst fear was about to happen.
At the moment when her husband fought back and was forced to go to jail, she was not afraid, and even felt a little relieved. However, when she thought about Maria coming over at this time to add insult to injury and 'appreciate her' desolate appearance, she felt it from the bottom of her heart.
Feeling fear.
She has been very strong all her life, and she has the arrogance of a princess in her bones. If she is at her lowest, being humiliated by the person she hates and hates the most in her life but unable to fight back, then to her, it would be a kind of death worse than death.
Unbearable torture.
With fear in her heart, she slowly turned her head.
Then, that beautiful but most disgusting face fell into her eyes.
It was really her... Teresa suddenly felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, her whole body felt like her hands and feet were cold, and she could hardly move.
What she feared most happened.
Why? Why can she come at this time?!
She immediately thought of another thing - without His Highness's approval, Maria would definitely not be able to get through the many guards and come to her.
Your Highness, it's not really you who sent her here, is it? Why... If you want to execute me, you can use a guillotine or poison, why do you still use this method to stab me? Teresa was thinking in her heart
Wail.
But even so, she didn't want to be embarrassed in front of Maria, so she used the last strength of her body to keep her body from shaking, and then stared at Maria with calm and contemptuous eyes.
"Who gave you permission to come here?"
"Who? It doesn't matter, it can't be you, Her Majesty the Queen." Maria smiled slyly, and then replied, "I heard that you have been feeling unwell recently and need to recuperate, so I came here to visit you... and now I see you
It seems that your body is in good health, so I feel relieved, Your Majesty the Queen."
Although it seems normal, there is a strange air of yin and yang in her words, especially the sentence "Her Majesty the Queen", which is even more ironic in the current environment.
Teresa was so angry that she could only feel her blood rising and wanted to tear her mouth apart, but she respected her identity and knew that doing such a stupid thing would only make herself more embarrassed, so she endured it.
"Stop saying such disgusting things hypocritically. We have known each other for so long... Do we need to do this kind of trick between each other again?" She looked at each other and said coldly. "Now, please get out, I want to
It’s time to rest, I don’t want to see guests.”
Now is the most depressed time in her life, and on the other hand, it is naturally the time when Maria's "lucky stars are shining". Presumably the other party must be overjoyed and showing off her power at this moment, and running over to see her now is probably to appreciate her most miserable appearance.
.
Precisely because she knew this, Teresa was unwilling to show any weakness or sadness. In front of the enemy of her life, no matter how miserable she was, she could never lose her dignity.
Although Teresa ordered her to be kicked out, Maria did not give in at all. On the contrary, she approached Teresa.
"Oh my, it's amazing. Even now, you still look so arrogant. Don't you still think of yourself as a queen? What qualifications do you have to order me? Have you forgotten that you have done this before?
What happened?"
"I haven't forgotten, so I regret it—I regret that I actually let you run away." Teresa sneered lightly, "So much so that I still have to suffer this crime and be humiliated by you today."
At the first moment of the coup, Teresa sent her confidants to Paris to besiege Maria's mansion, and also issued an order to kill without mercy. However, for some reason, Maria escaped in advance, even though there was no news about it in advance, so that she was attacked.
It was all in vain, which became one of Teresa's biggest grievances during that time.
If she had been in power, Maria would eventually be able to be found from hiding. Unfortunately, Aigron's "comeback" failed to make this happen after all.
The failure to kill the person she wanted to kill the most made Teresa even more uncomfortable than the failure of the coup, and now she has also received retribution - someone came in front of her and sat on her face. This can be regarded as "bringing the blame on herself".
Teresa's tough statement seemed to anger Maria, so she laughed angrily for a moment.
"Oh, what you said is true. If you want to kill me, can't I come here today to take revenge on you?"
"Didn't you curse me to death so many times? If it hadn't been for Your Highness stopping me, you would have died ten times because of your disrespect for me." Teresa replied contemptuously.
Then, her face suddenly changed slightly.
It was not that she was intimidated by Maria, but that she suddenly seemed to notice something unusual.
Something seemed wrong with Maria in front of her.
Wait...this is not Maria! Teresa suddenly woke up.
If the person in the world who can easily tell the difference between their sisters is Aigron, then Teresa is not far behind and can be ranked second (but the reasons for the two people are completely different).
Even if they are exactly the same, she can still tell the subtle differences in temperament between the two people - that is the difference caused by the acquired personalities and behavioral patterns of the two people.
Although she looks equally arrogant, Maria's temperament is more abrasive, like a spoiled young lady, arrogant and arrogant with a little bit of guilt; while Sophie's aura is much more confident and high-spirited
, her temperament is more inclined to contempt, and she has more solemn, deep eyes, and the aura of being in power for a long time. Although these Marias can also perform and deceive ordinary people, in front of Theresa, all these
There's nothing to hide from.
"Sophie, is it you...?" She took a breath.
"Ah, it seems that my acting skills are not up to par..." After being recognized by her, Sophie did not quibble, but spread her hands.
"I came here specially to see you... It's a long way from Austria."
Although Sophie's words seemed to be full of concern for her old love rival, they were also full of ridicule.
"Don't you think you'd come if it wasn't for me? You've come here a few times. Come whenever you want. Why bother looking for any excuses?" Teresa hesitated slightly at the corner of her mouth, although she quickly controlled it.
He suppressed his emotions, but still showed a look of resentment and pain.
After a moment, she sighed softly, "If you want to ridicule, feel free to ridicule, whatever you want... Anyway, I have lost now and am in jail. I deserve to be laughed at and reviled... I deserve it! You
Just ridicule, I will not scold you, nor will I beg you for mercy, I will just accept it all calmly."
After finishing speaking, Teresa raised her head and looked at Sophie in front of her without giving up.
In an instant, the sarcasm in Sophie's smile suddenly disappeared, and the two of them stared at each other in silence for a moment, with neither one speaking anymore.
This sense of calm confrontation is both hatred and not hatred. More than ten years of "friendship" and unclear grievances between them have made it no longer a simple hatred and "murderous intention" between them, but a kind of hatred.
A more complex relationship that is even difficult to explain clearly in words.
In the end, it was Sophie who broke the silence again, "I have to say, you brought us an oversized surprise... As expected of you! She is already the mother of several children, but she is still the same girl as before.
Strong."
This time, she lost the sharpness and ridicule she had when she played Maria just now, and instead acted more like an objective commentator.
Teresa remained silent, and finally she sighed softly.
"...I don't want to explain what I did, and I have nothing to explain. I did make a big mistake, but I won't admit it or ask for your forgiveness. I just lost, that's all.
"
"Although you have set a huge trap for us, but... I can't understand your thoughts. Hey! It's a good idea to use poison to make him limp and then take him to live in seclusion in the countryside where no one is watching.
Thoughts! To tell you the truth, I have thought about it sometimes..." Sophie still commented with a chuckle, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her. "You lost, you did lose miserably, but you
Don't even think about letting go. You have to help clean up the mess you made with your own hands - Aigron has decided that no matter what happened before, you must continue to be the queen of the empire, and I agree with him.
.”
Because she had already exchanged opinions with her husband last time, Theresa was not too surprised by this, she was just a little uninterested.
At this time, she really wasn't in the mood to clean up any more "mess".
At this time, she suddenly thought that since Sophie and Maria had been transferred to Fontainebleau, she would definitely stay and fly with her husband here - even more blatantly than before.
Maybe we just expressed our love to each other last night.
When she thought of this, she became even more tired.
Tired, destroy it.
Thinking back to the time when I "defeated" the obstructive Sophie, and overcame the difficulties and obstacles of fate, and finally, after paying a huge price, I finally got married to my beloved His Highness. How happy was I at that time? Why did I leave in the end?
To this field?
Can't he win against her after all?
Is it so difficult to overthrow the first love? Is the hard work and almost fanatical love that I have put in so unworthy of mention? Why can't I change all this?
Teresa suddenly felt sad and almost shed tears.
"You don't have to be so arrogant. Of course he loves you. If it weren't for loving you, he would have secretly executed you long ago based on the things you did." As if aware of Theresa's thoughts, Sophie quietly said
Said, "In fact, he just can't let you go. He hopes to keep you by his side... You think you are a victim. I also feel uncomfortable. I can only be a bystander to the two of you and endure you."
We get along every day, and even after death, the two of you will be buried together! God knows how uncomfortable I feel when I think of this..."
Speaking later, Sophie became more and more excited. "You already have everything, aren't you willing to let me share a little bit of crumbs... You know how much risk I have to take every time I see him, we
How short our relationship was! You took him away from me and made me lose so many things. Is it a sin for me to try hard to get some back?!"
Such shameless words left Teresa speechless for a moment.
However, considering that this is Sophie, it is quite normal.
After venting for a while, Sophie also calmed down.
"Well, we both have a lot of dissatisfaction, and fate has indeed made us both suffer a lot of pain that we shouldn't have. The root of all this is that wolf-hearted little bastard... But I love him, and I am obsessed with the relationship between us.
The best memories I have ever had, so I could only curse him but choose to forgive him at the same time, thinking that I could just live in a muddle like this..."
Then, she nodded slightly to Theresa, "Teresa, I don't expect you to think the same as me, but I believe that we will continue to get along like this in the next few decades. I wish you in advance to return to Austria.
Have a nice visit, I'll be waiting for you there."
After saying that, she waved her hand gently, ending the secret meeting, leaving Theresa sitting blankly in her place.
