"She has been unlucky for so many years and suffered so much. Now it's time for her to be happy."
Maria's emotion made Chanel suddenly feel a little sad.
Although she does not "intellectually" agree with such a dangerous plan, personally she sympathizes with Her Highness Sophie's plight just like Aigron and Maria.
Therefore, it is not that she cannot understand why His Majesty would make such a crazy plan regardless of the risks.
However, once the matter was exposed, how would Her Majesty Teresa deal with herself? She thought of this question, but she did not dare to ask anyone.
It's hard to imagine her enduring it again without complaint.
If the grievances of the past were picked up again now, and old hatreds and new hatreds were superimposed, what would it turn into by then? Just being a bystander gave her a suffocating feeling like a mountain.
Judging from what she knew about the situation, even His Majesty had no good solution to this problem and could only try to hide it.
Can it really be kept hidden forever? She felt doubtful in her heart.
However, even if you are worried, now that the plan is on the line, there is no point in thinking about anything else. You can only take one step at a time.
Anyway, no matter what, she must stand by His Majesty's side.
In front of her, Maria, dressed as a maid, was also thoughtful, so the two of them fell into silence for a while.
"Is there anything else you need to advise me?" After a long time, Maria finally asked again.
"No more." Chanel shook her head slightly, then stood up and prepared to bid farewell to Maria.
"Wait a minute, I have one more thing to do -" Maria made a gesture to signal Chanel not to leave yet, "Call him over, I still have important things to discuss with him..."
"Okay." Chanel was not surprised by this. After all, at this critical time, the two of them really needed to communicate and collaborate closely.
So, she said goodbye to Maria, then returned to Aeglon, and conveyed Maria's request to him.
Of course, Aigron would not refuse Maria's request, but after all, he was not someone whom Maria could always call upon, so he dealt with the matters at hand first, and then slowly and leisurely came to Maria's residence in the afternoon.
Surprisingly, when he saw Maria, she still hadn't changed out of the maid outfit she wore when meeting Chanel in the morning.
Ah? Is she still excited? Is this some kind of "immersive performance experience"?
Aigron didn't understand, but he thought it was great.
Back then, he and Sophie had played a lot of games in private for fun, but generally speaking, as "civilian siblings", they had never tasted the role-playing game of master and servant - Sophie was too senior to him after all.
With a protector mentality, it’s hard to put down your arrogance and accept this.
And now, Maria's outfit was equivalent to Sophie wearing it to meet him, which immediately gave Aigron an unusually fresh and exciting feeling.
If only...if only I could try this kind of play with her... He became excited just thinking about it.
"What? Are you stunned?" Seeing his dumbfounded look, Maria sneered. "Do you feel it's a pity that you didn't try this with her at that time?"
After being ridiculed by Maria, Aigron suddenly regained his senses, and then immediately became embarrassed because his inner thoughts were exposed.
Although Maria is sarcastic, she is often very accurate in guessing people's thoughts, especially when facing Egron. Egron thinks this may be because she is particularly good at guessing other people's thoughts with malicious intent——
Because of this, lying and denying would only make him appear more guilty, so Aigron could only pretend not to hear the other party's sarcasm and forcefully change the subject.
"...Uh, Your Highness, you called me here specifically. Do you have something to tell me?"
"How dare I give you orders?" Maria glanced at him, "I just want to know how you plan to solve the last problem? After all, time waits for no one now..."
"Have I not told you all the details of the plan?" Aiglon asked doubtfully, "Is there any communication error between Chanel and you?"
Maria didn't answer anymore, just looked at him with a slight sneer.
Her eyes were filled with both teasing and expectation, as well as a kind of hidden annoyance, as if she was scolding, "It's already this time, do you still want me to say it myself?"
Aigron understood immediately.
Although the relationship between him and Maria had progressed to this point, and they even shared such terrible secrets with each other, in the end, there was still a final layer of paper between them.
However, no one pierced this layer of window paper and avoided the issue as if tacitly.
After all, although Maria at this moment is exactly the same as Sophie, there are huge differences...
Therefore, before she goes to Austria, she should "graduate" from her life as an old girl in her twenties.
But even though he knew this, Aigron never dared to mention it. He was afraid that Maria would be furious. Besides, how could he have the nerve to take the initiative to say this to others?
At this moment, Maria actually proposed it, which of course made him overjoyed.
"Are you...are you ready?" Stimulated by this, a fire suddenly lit up in Aigron's heart, and he asked cautiously.
"Then are you ready?" Maria asked back, and then she answered with a sneer, "Oh, I really asked a redundant question, you should be ready anytime and anywhere -"
"It's not anytime, anywhere...I'm not that powerful." Aigron blushed and quickly defended himself, "Of course, if it's for you, I'm willing to do my best..."
"So, is it convenient for you to do your best now?" Maria asked softly.
As she spoke, she leaned back slightly, lying on her side on the armrest of the sofa, with her hands spread out, as if she was ready for you to pick.
Her demeanor at this moment, as well as this unusual attire, of course gave Aigron a great sense of excitement. Moreover, when he thought that Maria was still untouched at this moment, he felt even more passionate. He could hardly control himself and almost fell asleep.
I had to pounce directly on him.
But...at the last moment, he still managed to control himself with reason.
He looked around and found that the room was empty except for the two of them.
But even so, it is still a bit dangerous. After all, no one knows whether there is some spy arranged by Teresa here in Maria. If the two of them make a big fuss and Teresa finds out, things will get even more complicated.
Oh no.
"Why, it's already this time, are you still worried about her?" Maria seemed to be aware of Aigron's concerns at this moment, so she sneered again, "You have embarrassed her so many times, why are you pretending now?
La?"
s??????.???
"I'm indeed sorry for her, but it's hard for me to be completely heartless..." Aigron said, "If it can be avoided, I still don't want to irritate her like this."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Maria hopefully, "Your Highness, how about we make an appointment outside the palace..."
Before he could finish speaking, Maria stretched out her fingers and blocked his mouth.
However, she didn't look very angry. Instead, she looked like she had expected Aigron's reaction.
"Forget it, I knew you would answer me like this - anyway, I'm just teasing you, and I have no intention of completing any major life events here."
Regarding Maria's answer, Aigron was both relieved and a little (really only a little) disappointed.
Then, he looked at Maria eagerly, as if waiting for her to give a definite answer.
Seeing his eagerness to try, Maria felt funny in her heart, and the bad taste in her heart was also satisfied.
In fact, the moment she agreed to Agron's cooperation with his plan, she had already made up her mind to take this dishonorable path she had chosen to the end.
Among them, although her main motivation was for the safety of her former love and her sister Sophie, Teresa naturally also played an indispensable role - Teresa's humiliation made her hate her to the bone, and even more so.
A desire for revenge at any cost arose.
Since you laugh at me for being an old maid, let me show you how an old maid bids farewell to her virginity.
But even for revenge, Maria is unlikely to be willing to "graduate" in a hazy manner. She certainly hopes that everything will be more memorable.
Just now she was just teasing Aigron for fun. If Aigron couldn't help but pounce on him, she would resist fiercely.
"I know you are eager to see it, but I ask you to be patient. There is still time, so please tell me a story first-" Maria spoke again.
"What story?" Aiglon was stunned for a moment.
"How did you get together in the first place? Where were you? What was the specific process?" Even with Maria's shamelessness, she couldn't help but blush slightly at this moment, but she still had the courage to ask.
"Huh?" Aigron was a little surprised. He thought Sophie had told her before.
But he soon understood that although the two sisters talked about everything in their correspondence, it was impossible for Sophie to write about their romance in such detail. At most, they only talked about it in general terms, so Maria could not know about it.
details.
"Okay...let me think about it." Aigron nodded.
Then, many memories and pictures suddenly appeared in his mind, including that day wandering in Vienna, that humble hotel, that impulsive young boy, the first experience that almost failed, and his love for him.
The sister who was so gentle, soothed patiently, and helped him regain his courage.
What a ridiculous, yet warm and perfect night...
When he recalled these things again, Aigron's heart was suddenly filled with happiness, but soon he fell from happiness again and almost cried.
He owed her so much.
Moreover, although he later had a wife and a lover, and he could enjoy it in every way, he would never have the wonderful experience he had at the beginning.
Just because he recalled these things, he was even more eager to have Sophie come back to him, and he was not even willing to wait any longer.
After suppressing the emotion and anxiety in his heart, Aigron woke up from his thoughts.
Then, in a tone as calm as possible but still full of excitement, he told Maria exactly what happened that day.
Maria listened quietly, and it was not until Aiglon finished speaking that she spoke leisurely.
"I see...it does seem like a very happy day. No wonder she wrote to me afterwards, as happy as crazy..."
Sophie had never told Aigron about this in detail, so when Aigron learned about Sophie's experience from the side, he was extremely happy.
Maybe his performance was not perfect, but for Sophie, the night with him was already perfect.
"For me too!" Unable to contain the excitement in his heart, he answered loudly to Maria.
And Maria didn't speak any more, she just looked at him quietly, her eyes originally sharp and pointed, but now her eyes were flowing like a lake.
Because just now he vividly described a "spring night" with poet-like words, and at this time, the ambiguous atmosphere in the room also filled the air.
Obviously, Maria was also a little emotional.
"I'm crazy, aren't I?" After a moment of silence, she spoke quietly, "I'm actually sitting here, actively listening to others vividly telling the story of their twin sisters' affair..."
"It is crazy, but it is not just you who are crazy, but also me, and the world..." Aigron replied. "Maybe madness is what makes us different."
"That's right -" Maria was very satisfied with this answer, so she smiled, then she raised her head and looked at Aiglon with that crazy look, "I have always been particularly unconvinced by Sophie.
, why should she take all the good things... If I had been born a few minutes earlier, all of this would have been mine! However, fate is like this, no matter how unwilling I am, what can I do?
However, even if I can't defeat fate, I still have something I can control - I can choose how to sacrifice myself. I can also enjoy the romance she once enjoyed again! You visited Vienna with her, but
Didn't we also visit Paris? I also have my own memories...and in the end, I will choose my place of remembrance."
Aigron didn't speak, but breathed heavily as he waited for Maria's final answer - to be honest, once the atmosphere was in place, he couldn't wait.
However, Maria was not in a hurry. On the contrary, a strange smile appeared on her face, a smile full of malice.
"Do you still remember the banquet after you ascended the throne? We met together -"
Of course Aiglon remembered that they secretly met in the Queen's dressing room in the Tuileries Palace in Paris. Later he also learned that Maria actually stole Theresa's beloved fan from there.
When he thought of this, he suddenly became nervous.
"Just over there -" Maria said it as he expected, "Don't you like excitement? Then let's do something exciting!"
