Aigron's explanation made Chanel, who had been a little confused before, finally understand his master's entire train of thought.
After thinking about it, she couldn't help but feel sincere admiration for his plan.
"Your Highness, you are so amazing!"
"I just have time to think. Thanks to the care of the Habsburg royal family, I don't have to fulfill the ceremonial obligations of an emperor, and I don't have a large group of favorites surrounding me all the time to flatter me, so I have plenty of time to think.
." Aigron replied in a sarcastic tone, "Also, let me emphasize once again that even if we do everything, we still have to wait for luck to come. Before luck comes, don't do anything extra."
"Yes." Chanel immediately responded, and then comforted the master. "Your Highness, you were right before, God will definitely take care of you. He brought you into the world as his favorite, so how could he bear to let you become an outcast?
What? Luck will definitely come, and those two highnesses will definitely become messengers of God and come to rescue you."
Aigron looked at Chanel with a wry smile.
Her expression was fervent and pious, and she obviously believed deeply in what she said, rather than comforting herself in vain.
She believed in victory even more than he did.
Although it is a good thing to have strong followers of faith, some illusions should be broken as soon as possible.
"Even if my two cousins come to rescue me, they cannot be called messengers of God. Rather, they are the complete opposite." He explained in a low voice, "Everyone in the Bonaparte family is ambitious. My uncles
, there is no fuel-efficient lamp, and all of them are pretentious. They used my father to gain access to the house, but once they become the leader, they will try their best to break up with my father! My cousins are the same."
What Agron said is the truth. In fact, Napoleon was very angry with these brothers many times. He tried his best to get one crown after another for his brothers. As a result, after he became the king, these brothers continued to give them crowns.
He broke up the trouble.
His third brother, Lucien, had a falling out with him due to marriage issues and ended up running to Rome to live in seclusion. After his fourth brother, Louis, became the king of the Netherlands, he refused to obey Napoleon's continental blockade order based on the position of the Dutch. In the end, Napoleon was so angry that he revoked it.
He took his throne and directly allowed France to annex the Netherlands.
Napoleon once said angrily, "They really seem to feel that their crowns were given by God." This means that the brothers are not grateful and only regard the crowns they received as a matter of course. Instead, it was Eugene, who was not named Bonaparte, who
Son, loyal and honest.
As a Bonapartist, Chanel certainly knew these allusions, but she just didn't expect that the next generation of the Bonaparte family would actually continue the style of the older generation.
"Your Highnesses, is this really the case? Are you...are you a little pessimistic? After all, you have never seen them since you came to Austria."
"You don't need to see me to know that this is the continuation of the bloodline." Aigron replied firmly. After all, he certainly couldn't answer the real reason why he knew.
"The two brothers Louis Bonaparte will not be fundamentally different from their fathers. So Chanel, there is no need to have any illusions about them. They are just the people I need to cooperate with. They will come to rescue me, and they will not
It's because you love me, just because you need me. After all, as long as I live, I am the only flag of the Bonaparte family, and the call I issue is as effective as Napoleon. Without me, they can't do anything. They want to do big things.
You must borrow me."
Aiglon said while looking at the other person sincerely, "But you are different. You are my loyal subordinate and someone I can completely trust——"
"Your Highness..." Chanel was so excited and excited by Aigron's praise that she was almost speechless.
"The road must be walked step by step. Now that I am behind bars, as long as I can regain my freedom, it is not a bad idea to even make a deal with the devil, let alone rely on the ambitions of my cousins." Aigron nodded to her with a smile.
, "But as long as I run out, then I will be my own master and the only leader of Bonaparte's supporters. No one can control me! If they don't obey me at that time, I will overpower them. I will make the mistakes of my fathers."
Won’t do it again!”
Chanel nodded sincerely.
In her heart, she admired her master even more.
"I understand... Your Highness. No matter what happens, no matter who I am against, I will always be on your side."
"I want to thank you, Chanel." Aiglon stretched out his hand and stroked the golden hair under her scarf. "In addition, Chanel, I would like to advise you not to place too many expectations on me. Although
You may have pinned your inner desire for revenge on me, so you deliberately imagined me as an angel holding a sword on behalf of God, an omnipotent and omniscient sage, but I'm sorry that I'm just a mortal.
I am worried about gains and losses, and I am also afraid and hesitant. I can’t predict everything. The only thing I can do better than ordinary people is to adapt to the situation and at the same time, after confirming one thing, keep walking with sleepwalking certainty, even if
No matter how high the price is, I won’t hesitate. Other than that, I don’t see what’s extraordinary about me.”
"But Your Highness..." Chanel closed her eyes, enjoying the warm touch on her forehead, "The more you say this, the more I respect you."
"True reverence is not about shouting greatness no matter what the other person does. I can't bear this kind of blind worship." Aigron shook his head and then withdrew his hand, "The reverence I want is to make me
The admirer sighs, 'Oh, he is just a mortal, he did XXXX wrong', and then adds seriously, 'But even so, I respect him.' I hope I can do that."
"So...what do you want me to do?" Chanel asked curiously.
"Every time I feel discouraged, scared or in pain, comfort me and tell me that I am doing the right thing and that everything I do is not meaningless. I admit that it is a bit dangerous to expose my weakness at the moment, and I only dare to entrust myself to trust
In addition..." Aigron said, yawned again, and added tiredly, "Rub your shoulders for me, I'm really a little tired now."
The sudden change in the young man's tone made Chanel shocked and couldn't help laughing again.
"It is my pleasure, Your Highness."
After finishing speaking, Aigron left the desk and sat on the lounge chair next to the fireplace.
The recliner swayed slightly, while Chanel gently kneaded his shoulders. The long-lost sense of comfort made Aigron squint his eyes in a daze.
"Your Highness, you did everything right." In a daze, he seemed to hear someone whispering in his ear, "And you are by no means alone."
=================================================
The next day, Aigron, in accordance with the instructions of Her Royal Highness the Princess, took his initially completed manuscript and went to visit Princess Sophie.
Because she had just gotten up not long ago, Her Royal Highness only wore a lavender silk robe, which gave her a much more homely look than her usual appearance.
"I didn't expect you to really care so much." Princess Sophie was a little surprised at the young man's speed and efficiency.
"Of course, I never like to give up halfway." Aigron replied with a little pride.
"Then let me see what kind of story our Aigron is going to tell~" Princess Sophie smiled with joy and ridicule.
She took the manuscript, then lay lazily on the sofa, flipping through it carelessly. With the movement of her arms, her neckline opened and closed slightly, and her fair skin was looming. She looked like a noble lady in a literary salon.
Just like people.
However, as time passed, her expression became more serious and her brows wrinkled slightly.
After a while, she suddenly raised her head and glared at the boy.
"Are you dissatisfied?" Aigron asked quickly.
"Your heroine is really weak!" Princess Sophie said with some dissatisfaction. "Suicide is a cowardly escape. What problem can it solve? And even if you want to commit suicide, you should return home first, and then find an opportunity to kill that person with one shot.
If you marry your bastard lover, it’s not too late to die then, right?”
"...This is just a story. She committed suicide silently to increase the tragedy of the ending." Aigron replied helplessly. Then he asked curiously, "Why did she only kill her lover? The king and her husband were also very fond of her.
it's not good?"
"Of course." Princess Sophie rolled her eyes at him, "If a person is walking in the desert and is about to die of thirst, and then someone next to him gives him a kettle seemingly out of pity, only for him to cheer for the last time with excitement.
When you open up your strength, it turns out to be empty. Isn't this kind of joke more cruel than any kind of despair? Rather than giving a woman despair, isn't it more vicious to give her hope first and then give her despair?"
"It seems to make sense." Aigron thought for a moment, then nodded. "So... do you want me to change it? Do you have any suggestions for changes?"
"No... no need." Princess Sophie thought for a moment, then shook her head and sighed, "If you change it according to my opinion, it won't be your story, forget it... That's it, but
I reserve my opinion. This is a good story, Aigron. It is worth writing, perfecting the details, and then putting it on the stage. I think someone will read it."
Then, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Aiglon, you really did not disappoint me! Being able to write a story from the beginning shows that you have some talent."
Aigron could see that she was sincerely happy for me.
So he also became happy, after all, who doesn't like to hear compliments.
"Well, let's keep working hard. Now that we've started, let's finish it properly." Princess Sophie sat up and encouraged the young man. "I will also try my best to help you in other ways.
"
Then, she asked, "By the way, why would you think of such a story?"
"Maybe it's because I tend to be sentimental in such a situation." Aigron replied with a wry smile, "Anyway, there is nothing else to do."
"Then write a happier story next time. With me here, can't you still have fun?" Princess Sophie blinked.
"Okay..." Aiglon nodded. "I can write a comedy for you."
"Then we've settled." Princess Sophie nodded, and then asked, "By the way, have you decided on the heroine's name?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. Do you have any suggestions?" Aigron replied.
"How about calling her Teresa?" Princess Sophie looked at him with a smile.
Aigron was stunned for a moment.
"...Why is it called this name?" Then he asked in a low voice.
"Of course I'm joking." Seeing his look, Her Royal Highness couldn't help laughing.
