As soon as he saw Teresa's hesitant expression, Agron guessed something.
That's right. After all this, as the most direct victim, how could she be fine? He could only sigh in his heart
This is the price he chose to pay.
"What did my grandpa do to her?" He suppressed the annoyance in his heart and asked as calmly as possible.
"After you escaped, His Majesty the Emperor was very angry. He thought it was His Highness Sophie's fault, so he imprisoned her and announced that she was seriously ill." Teresa replied in a low voice, "She was not taken into custody until I was about to leave.
The confinement was lifted and he reappeared in the public eye..."
Is that so? That's okay. Aigron felt a little relieved.
Now that she has reappeared in public, it means that her current status has not been completely shaken. Although His Majesty the Emperor is definitely angry with her, at least her personal safety should be fine.
"I caused her trouble." Aigron could only sigh, "Teresa, thank you. What else did she say to you?"
"After I told her about coming to see you, she was furious at first, but in the end she calmed down and blessed us. But I think this was just for you, and her resentment towards me has not disappeared.
How much." When she said this, Teresa turned her face away, deliberately not letting herself face the embarrassment at this time. "She also said that if there is a chance in the future, she will ask you to go back to see her early. At the end, she also asked
Let me tell you, her name is Crystal and she is very cute."
Aigron's eyes suddenly opened wide and he was speechless for a long time.
He only felt a throbbing pain in his heart, because all his worst guesses had become reality.
When he had guessed that Sophie might be pregnant, although he had a vague feeling that it should be true, it was still just a guess after all. But when it was actually confirmed now, he really felt the sadness.
Sophie was the first person in Schönbrunn Palace who truly cared about and cared for her. She took care of herself without reservation and tried her best to make herself happy, but in the end... she brought a huge disaster to her.
.
However, she never complained and tolerated her resentment and willfulness. Until the end, she actually left a child as a witness to the two of them.
Apart from being moved and feeling guilty, what else could he say?
There is another question: What should I do with the daughter I haven’t met yet?
It was obvious that the Austrian officials had no intention of letting her appear in the public eye. He simply couldn't imagine how she would be treated if he didn't care.
It stands to reason that big things don't stick to trivial matters. An illegitimate daughter he has never met is not enough to make him worried. Napoleon never took care of his illegitimate children, but Sophie's current situation, if her daughter really happens
If something happened, she might go crazy.
He already owed Sophie so much. If she lost her daughter again, how could she see him again?
Although it was very embarrassing for Teresa to tell this news, he couldn't care less about the embarrassment at the moment.
"Crystel..." Aeglon gasped, "I can't leave her alone."
Then, he covered his face. "Teresa, I'm sorry for making you laugh... What a disaster I caused!"
Seeing Aiglon looking so heartbroken, Theresa, although she was still a little angry, couldn't help but relent.
"Your Highness, there is no doubt that you have made a huge mistake, but now that things have happened, there is no point in panicking. You might as well think about how to make up for it." Theresa gently grabbed her.
He held Aigron's hand and comforted him in this way, "Since His Majesty the Emperor has allowed her to give birth to this child, he will not easily harm her and the child's life. Although I don't know what His Majesty is thinking,
But I guess he must have used this child as some kind of bargaining chip...
Therefore, you don’t have to be too impatient now. You can imagine that the value of Krystel in His Majesty’s heart is directly proportional to your status. The more successful you are, the more he needs Krystel, and even
You may even treat Her Highness Sophie well because of this. So the most important thing for you now is to make eye-catching achievements as soon as possible. This is the best way to help them. If you mess up easily... it will harm yourself and others.
Got them."
Teresa's calm attitude made Aigron calm down.
"You're right, Teresa." He nodded slightly.
He didn't expect that he would confirm this conjecture from Theresa's mouth, and he didn't expect that Theresa was analyzing the pros and cons for him.
"Your Majesty is keeping this matter secret now, but sooner or later he will contact you secretly and make an offer to you." Teresa continued, "So you'd better be mentally prepared first, and the more you pretend, the more likely you will be.
If you don't take it to heart, the more you can prevent them from asking for excessive prices and try to get better treatment for Kristel."
Totally accurate, Aiglon thought.
Teresa's calm analysis was to the point and forward-looking. She must have thought about this matter deeply on the way to Monte Cristo Island.
What kind of mood was she thinking over and over in her mind? Just imagining it made Aigron feel so embarrassed that his scalp was numb.
The person who least expected to know knew it, but she was still so reasonable. This made her behavior even more ridiculous, which was really embarrassing.
"Teresa, you are right. I know what I should do. But aren't you angry?" he asked guiltily.
"Of course I'm angry!" Teresa finally glared at him angrily, and then raised her voice, "But who asked me to pretend to be generous before and say that I wouldn't forgive you for what happened before? I originally thought
Your ridiculous romance should have ended with our engagement. Who would have thought that there would be such a big surprise waiting for me... But who made me make my own choice? I admire everything Sophie has done,
So what's the point of being angry for her now."
After hearing the news just now, she was of course surprised and annoyed, but in the end when she saw the luster in Sophie's eyes, she secretly decided to help him.
After all, she couldn't bear to see this innocent child face the most terrible fate.
Due to a trick of fate, although this child was of noble birth, she could not bear the surname Bonaparte or Habsburg. But even so, she deserved to have a bright future instead of being secretly imprisoned in the house.
A place where strangers live.
Fortunately, there is still a lot of time and everything can still be done in time.
Just think of it as compensation for Her Highness Sophie for taking Her Highness away from you.
Aigron calmed down in his heart, and he was once again sure that Teresa was indeed on his side.
Even after knowing this, she did not abandon herself, which proved how sincere and tolerant she was towards him.
He was not just grateful at this moment, but moved.
Teresa's beautiful face seemed to glow with an angelic aura in his eyes.
"Teresa, thank you... really thank you."
He suddenly hugged Teresa in his arms again, and then hissed to her, "You know, I have developed an indifferent character in a cage since I was a child. I dare not treat everyone."
I didn’t trust them and didn’t dare to place my good intentions on them. I isolated myself from the world in order to avoid their malice and ridicule. But the world did not abandon me. First it was Sophie, and then you. You all appeared in my life one by one.
, you tolerate me and sincerely hope that I can have a better future... I am very touched, so I am willing to open my heart to you, and I swear to you, as long as you are by my side, then my career will be yours.
Career, my honor is half as good as yours, we will have a family, I swear to seek happiness for you and our family, Teresa, I will not let you regret it!"
Teresa closed her eyes slightly, listening to Aigron's affectionate confession. This was the first time His Highness had spoken such sincere words in front of her.
The slight irritation I felt originally disappeared.
She smiled slightly and nodded slightly.
"That's enough, Your Highness, let's work together for future happiness and the happiness of our family. That's what I sincerely long for. Whether it's traveling in seclusion with you, or going to revive the empire together, that's fine for me.
As long as we are always together, that is happiness itself..."
With such affectionate words, Aigron could no longer suppress the throbbing in his heart.
He lowered his head again, pressed his lips heavily to Teresa's lips, and then greedily claimed the sweet spring in it.
He had kissed Teresa on the trestle just now, but it was not only an outburst of emotion, but also an element of declaration and showing off in front of everyone. But this time... he acted purely for emotion.
As he said before, at this moment, he truly opened his heart to Teresa.
The two kissed selflessly, and there was only the sound of increasingly rapid breathing in the room. It was not until a long time later that the two separated again, and by this time Teresa was blushing so beautifully.
Agron looked at Teresa carefully again, his eyes as blazing as fire, as if he wanted to swallow her up. Teresa was too embarrassed to look at her, she just lowered her head and listened to her frantic heartbeat.
I don't know how long it took, but Egron seemed to have made up his mind and grabbed Teresa's hand.
"Teresa, come with me."
"Where to go?" Teresa asked quickly.
"Go to the next room, my bedroom." Aigron answered.
"Ah?! It's still daytime!" Teresa was shocked, "Besides, I just arrived on the island, it's too early..."
"I have a secret to tell you." Aiglon then realized that his words had been misunderstood, and quickly explained to her, "One of my most important secrets, I think I must tell you."
"That's it..." Teresa was stunned for a moment, and she didn't know whether she sighed with relief or disappointment.
Then, she followed Aigron to his bedroom.
As soon as he came in, Aigron opened the sheets directly in front of her, and then revealed a pile of boxes under the bed.
Yes, he wanted to share his secrets with Teresa by showing her his treasures.
Theresa gave up so many things for herself and was willing to take risks to accompany him through thick and thin. There is no more reliable test of loyalty in the world than this.
Therefore, she has his complete trust.
Now he wants to share his biggest secret and trump card with Teresa.
He has decided that Teresa will be his wife and the queen of the empire. This is certain, so his career is destined to have Teresa's share. She has the right and must know every step of her plan.
Share these secrets with him.
"Yeah!" After Aigron opened the box, the dazzling jewels made Theresa lose her mind for a moment.
After a moment, she calmed down, and then carefully looked at the gold and jewelry in the box.
Even if she was not a professional jewelry appraiser, she could tell that this was an extremely huge fortune. Only then did she realize that her dowry was nothing compared to it.
No wonder His Highness was so calm just now... With such a large amount of wealth, you will indeed have a lot of confidence.
"This is the wealth I collected after escaping from Austria. Some are treasures hidden by my father's old army, and some are properties donated by my relatives and supporters." Eggron used his usual excuses to explain the origin of the wealth.
Source, "These will also be the greatest boost to our cause... Teresa, I want you to know these because you have the right to use them, they are ours."
"Your Highness..." Teresa looked at the young man with surprise. "Thank you."
Compared to the so-called jewelry wealth, what she cares more about is that His Highness has finally regarded her as an indispensable part, so much so that he shared his most important secrets and resources with her.
This is the reward she wants.
Therefore, she will show the same or even greater sincerity.
"My dowry is also part of this." She immediately replied, "This is all ours, everything is ours..."
"Not only these, the entire blue sky and sea, as well as that rich country, will be ours, it just takes a little time." Aiglon replied proudly.
"Yes, I firmly believe so..." Teresa nodded heavily, "I will work with you to get all of this."
Aigron put his hand into a box, then rummaged through it for a while, and finally took out a piece of jewelry, and then brought it to Theresa.
Teresa took a closer look and found that it was a butterfly-shaped hairpin, densely inlaid with diamonds and a ruby in the center. These gems bloomed brightly in the sunlight.
Although the style looks old, it not only does not make it look outdated, but also adds a bit of elegance and luxury to it.
"I'm very sorry that I can only prepare so few gifts for you, Teresa..." Aigron laughed, "But please allow me to put it on for you, okay?"
Teresa nodded slightly.
So, Aigron put his hand on her head, and then carefully ruffled her chestnut hair. Finally, he put the hairpin on Theresa.
Against the background of gems, Teresa's already delicate face was decorated with even more luxurious charm.
"Your Highness..." Teresa smiled contentedly and just murmured to herself.
"Okay, let's go there. I want to meet my cronies with you and let them accept and get used to your existence and your unquestionable status." Aigron came closer and looked at her face, "Special
Lesa, I know you don't like to show up in front of others, but... you have to show yourself in order to control them. They are our subordinates and our ministers, and it is impossible not to establish authority."
"I can do it for you." Teresa closed her eyes slightly. "Your Highness, let's go."
