Princess Sophie watched the Prime Minister disappear at the other end of the corridor with sharp eyes, and then she walked back into the room. Of course, Aigron could not know about Sophie's quarrel with Metternich just now, but from just now she
He had already guessed something about his performance.
"Your Highness, did you quarrel with him just now?" he asked.
"It's not really a quarrel, it's just a discussion with him about what to do while you are recovering from your injuries." Princess Sophie answered easily, and then sat back on the bed.
"Actually... it doesn't have to be like this. He also has his own position, and his attitude towards me is not particularly bad." Aigron smiled bitterly, "He is a politician and has neither love nor hatred for people."
"What I am dissatisfied with is not his character, but his attitude and his habit of not taking us seriously!" Princess Sophie narrowed her eyes slightly, looking quite dissatisfied, "Your Majesty the Emperor
I just trust him too much, so I got used to his attitude... No matter how domineering he is in front of others, he is always a subordinate. How dare he treat us with this attitude?"
When she said this, she couldn't help but have a bit of meanness in her tone, "Humph, my last name was Wittelsbach before, and my last name is Habsburg now. Either one is a hundred times more prominent than his humble last name.
Who knew what kind of people the Metternich family was a few decades ago? Now they dare to be arrogant in front of us...I didn't reprimand him in front of other people, which already saved him face."
"But Bonaparte and de Beauharnais were not prominent surnames a few decades ago..." Aigron whispered.
"I don't see that you are really a child who likes to talk back." Princess Sophie pinched his face gently, and then said, "Of course you are different - don't ask what is different, I say no
The same thing is different.”
"Okay, then it's different." Aigron could only smile bitterly.
He could feel that after this unexpected incident, the already harmonious relationship between him and Princess Sophie became even closer.
Although it is impossible to expect her to help him escape, at least he has a protector in this palace, and he is one of the most important palace members, which means that he can live a lot more comfortably here.
And being with her is a very pleasant experience in itself.
Therefore, there is only one thing that needs to be solved now - how to keep Chanel by his side without leaving a trace?
"There is one thing I want to thank you for." With this purpose, he spoke cautiously, "Your maid took care of me very carefully last night and made me feel very comfortable."
"Really?" Princess Sophie looked back at Chanel, then nodded, "Well done, Chanel."
Chanel just bowed and saluted.
"In that case, let her stay and continue to take care of you during this period. You are surrounded by a group of old guys who are unappetizing. How can you recover quickly like this?" Princess Sophie suggested smoothly,
"Besides, if she is by your side, it will be much easier when you want to convey something to me..."
"Huh?" Aigron was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the request he wanted to make had already been realized before he actually made it.
For a moment, his heart was filled with joy and emotion, "Thank you for thinking about me..."
"So you should listen to me carefully." Sophie replied with a smile, "I just hope that what I do can make you believe that not everyone here is against you..."
Then, after the two chatted for a while, they finally left reluctantly, and just as Aigron hoped, the maid Chanel stayed.
"Your Highness, that's great..." After the door closed again, Chanel let out a long sigh of relief.
"It's too early to be happy now." Aigron returned to his usual calmness.
He tried to move his legs and move his body.
Then, he struggled to sit up. The pain in his body made him moan softly, but he still sat up smoothly.
"Your Highness!" Chanel was shocked and rushed to his side.
"It's okay." Aigron raised his finger to stop the other party, "I seem to be recovering faster than I thought."
"Are you really okay?" Chanel was still a little worried and kept looking at him, "Why don't you just continue to lie down and rest..."
Aigron glanced at her and made her stop talking.
"I'm very grateful that you are worried about my health, Chanel." After a moment of silence, he spoke, "But since you think you need to be loyal to me, you should understand that I am the one who gave the order.
And you are only responsible for the execution...So, if I didn't ask for your opinion, then you should not raise any questions and just do as I say, do you understand?"
"Your Highness..." Chanel's expression was full of grievance, "I'm just... just worried about you..."
"I know, but so what? I just need you to act according to my will." Aigron replied coldly, "It's a pity that I can't give you too much tolerance in the current environment. You regret it now."
, it’s okay to pretend that nothing happened between us, and I won’t blame you.”
Even though he couldn't see his face, he knew that his expression was very flat, and he also knew that he was very unkind and even a little ungrateful.
But he firmly believed that given his situation, he needed to do this.
The maid Chanel's will for revenge is very obvious and firm, but she has obviously not received any training and does not look like an experienced strategist. She is just full of loyalty and passion for revenge. Such a person is actually quite dangerous, because she is not an experienced strategist.
If you are not careful, others in the palace will see that something is wrong.
But it doesn't matter, she needs to be trained from time to time (or poured cold water on her like now), and she will eventually be able to abandon her raw excitement and learn how to obey in silence.
Since hatred can make people learn to be angry, then of course it can also make people learn to be tolerant.
Under his gaze, Chanel was stunned for a moment, and finally lowered his head heavily.
"I understand, Your Highness. I will do what you ask, so please don't drive me away..."
I'm sorry. Aigron whispered in his heart.
Does it make sense for people to pay such a price? He didn't know, but since she chose this path herself, she had no choice but to continue on.
He retracted his thoughts, then moved his neck and hands, then moved his legs gently, got out of bed and stood up.
As soon as he stood on the floor, he felt a little dizzy, and his legs were trembling and uncontrollable, but he still controlled his body forcefully and finally stood firm.
Chanel's eyes were still full of worry and anxiety, but she didn't speak in the end, seemingly listening to his words.
Aigron continued to move his body and found that he was still unsteady when walking.
Yes, it's much better than expected. If you can get out of bed so quickly, you should be able to return to normal body functions soon. But there is no need to continue to force yourself.
"Now help me," Aigron said.
After finally receiving the order, Chanel breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the boy's side, hugged his body, and stabilized him.
After she stabilized him, Aigron took steps, and with her support, he walked step by step to his usual desk.
Then, he opened the second drawer.
"Chanel?"
"Do you have any orders, Your Highness?" Chanel asked.
Aigron did not answer immediately, but took something out of his drawer and handed it to the other party.
In an instant, a burst of jewelery suddenly made the already bright room look even brighter.
"Ah!" the maid exclaimed.
She clearly discovered that what Aigron was holding was a pocket watch. This pocket watch was very luxuriously decorated, with an enamel shell inlaid with gold, and a letter "N" made of small diamonds.
The boy opened the case. The scale of the pocket watch had long stopped because it had not been used for many years, and the inner wall was decorated with the emblem of a bee.
Looking at this pocket watch, Chanel's eyes suddenly became confused - after all, how many girls can resist the charm of jewelry.
"So beautiful..." She couldn't help but sigh.
"Of course it's beautiful. This is a custom-made item from the imperial royal family. It was a gift from my father when I was a child." Aiglon replied in a low voice, "The bee is the emblem of the Bonaparte family."
"That's right..." Chanel blinked and stared at this historic gift.
"gave it to you."
"Um... um... um?!" The sudden words made Chanel feel as if she was hallucinating.
"Give it to you." The boy repeated it again.
"You gave it to me? Why...?" Chanel opened her eyes wide, "I...I don't deserve this gift, I'm just a maid..."
"It doesn't matter, I'll give it to you." Aiglon insisted, "I don't need it anyway. Since coming here, I have been prohibited from using anything that can be associated with the name Napoleon. Even handkerchiefs have never been used."
It was changed to F... I managed to hide it with great difficulty, but if I keep it in my hand, it will just be hidden inside like this. I might as well give it to you and make the best use of it."
[This is a historical fact, but the pocket watch is a fiction]
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Chanel felt pity and moved at the same time, "You... you are so kind to me... I don't deserve you..."
"Have you forgotten what I said again?" Aigron looked at Chanel.
Only then did Chanel realize that he had violated the rule not to question the order again.
"Yes...yes..." She quickly took the precious pocket watch from Aigron's hand with excitement, her hands trembling when she took it.
Then, she solemnly kept it in her arms with a solemn expression, and then she looked at the boy again, seemingly full of enthusiasm.
Aiglon looked at the maid's reaction and felt quite satisfied.
The two people have just met. Although the other party relies heavily on their trust, blindly suppressing them will only be counterproductive, so they should be rewarded appropriately.
Gold, silver and jewelry meant nothing to him and he didn't care at all.
In addition, this gift can also be used as a token. When he needs to let her contact people outside the palace in the future, as soon as others see this thing, they will believe that Chanel is the person around him.
"Chanel, I will remember what I promised you." He repeated his promise again to let the other party feel his sincerity.
"I will repay you with everything I have..." Chanel bowed.
"Help me go to the window and take a look." Aigron changed the subject.
"Yes." Chanel immediately complied and helped him walk to the window.
"Is this palace beautiful?" Aigron suddenly asked.
"Very beautiful, Your Highness." Chanel replied.
"It's very beautiful, but... I don't love it." Aigron looked at the Arc de Triomphe from a distance, "It doesn't belong to me, and I like things that only belong to me."
