After sighing, he carefully put the documents back into the box, then walked out of the study with the box and returned to the place where he had been received.
As soon as she saw him, Teresa cast a curious look, but she didn't ask directly out of reserve.
Aigron didn't care about anyone else and sat directly next to Teresa.
"Aigron, your eyes are a little strange." Teresa leaned into her husband's ear and asked in a low voice, "What kind of relic is it?"
"Nothing." Aiglon also turned to Teresa's ear, and then replied calmly, "Prince Eugène left me a manuscript that recorded some confidential information he came into contact with when he was the governor of the Kingdom of Italy.
, especially the information about the treasures. Before he left Italy, he also tried his best to help those people hide the whereabouts of the treasures to prevent them from falling into the hands of the returning Austrians. He kept all this secret until his death.
, and in his last breath, he recorded all this information and prepared to leave it to me, because he believed that those things were destined to belong to me."
Although he spoke calmly, Teresa was greatly shocked. "What?"
Theresa had believed the story that Aiglon had made up before. She believed that Aiglon was indeed in possession of the treasure that Emperor Napoleon discovered in Italy. Then, from Queen Louisa, she learned about the person directly responsible for this matter, so
She was even more convinced of this.
Like Prince Eugene, she also believed that the owner of these treasures could only be her husband and that they were the property of their family.
Although Aigron didn't say it explicitly, she guessed from her husband's previous reaction that some of the treasures had not been returned to their original owners. Now, important clues fell into her husband's hands.
Naturally, this is very welcome news.
After a while, she realized that she was a little out of sorts, so she took a deep breath to calm herself down.
"So we can dig out the treasure based on the information he provided?" Her voice was very low, but it was trembling a little unconsciously.
"It's not that simple. More than ten years have passed, and too many things will change." Aigron shook his head gently.
However, even though he made a negative statement, his eyes were sharper than usual, "However, I am indeed prepared to take them back."
"Yes, that's how it should be." Teresa fully agreed with her husband's opinion. "Instead of letting them continue to be forgotten in a forgotten corner, it is better to fall into our hands and play their due role..."
When she said this, she sighed again, "Hey... In this case, we should really thank Prince Eugene! He is so noble and upright, and has never thought of getting involved in such a huge wealth, but silently keeps it secret for you.
"
"Yes, I admire him very much." Aigron nodded, and then changed the subject. "But other people are different."
For so many years, no one has revealed a word to him. Even after he escaped from Austria, no one who had experienced it came to him and revealed these things, let alone offered the treasure.
If I hadn't received the news from my mother and Prince Eugene, I'm afraid I would still be kept in the dark and have no idea that I still have such a fortune.
It is conceivable that those who witnessed it may have secretly divided up the treasure.
When he thought of this, he was a little annoyed.
If these people fall into your hands, you must give them the punishment they deserve!
Seeing Aigron's face, Teresa guessed what he was thinking at the moment, so she grabbed the young man's hand and stroked it gently.
"Don't worry, dear, now that we know the existence of these treasures, we will get them sooner or later... No one can usurp our interests with impunity."
Under Theresa's comfort, Aigron slowly recovered his mood.
He knew that he still had a lot of work to do. Although it was important to recover those properties, it could not affect his pace.
He looked at the time and saw that dinner would start in a while.
"Okay, it's okay, Theresa." Aigron said to his wife in a normal tone.
Then, he handed the box to Teresa and said, "Please collect these documents for me. Also, you can chat with my wife later, and I will walk around and breathe some fresh air."
Teresa knew that her husband was in a complicated mood today, so she nodded, "Okay, leave this to me, you can take a rest~"
After she finished speaking, she reached out and took the box, and then Aigron walked up to Chanel next to her.
"Take me... um, can you take a walk here?" Aigron asked with a little hesitation. "You should be familiar with this place, right?"
Chanel was originally immersed in the sadness of remembering Prince Eugene, but when she heard her master's call, she was so surprised that her face turned red.
"Of course, I've been here for a long time... Just ask me around!" She agreed immediately.
She fully thought that her master was depressed because he remembered his adopted brother, so he hoped to relieve his mood, and she should shoulder this responsibility without hesitation.
The thought of being alone with His Majesty made her walk briskly. She took Aiglon out of the living room, and then Chanel took him around the mansion and explained to him that he was here.
The details of life.
Aigron listened patiently and asked some questions from time to time. Chanel patiently answered them, and while they were talking, they came to the garden together.
It was already the turn of spring and summer, so the garden was in full bloom, and Chanel was even more excited, pointing and pointing, enjoying the wonderful time.
"That's the stables. The carriages of His Royal Highness the Prince and his wife will be there. Usually when guests come to visit, the guests' carriages will also..." Deep in the garden, Chanel introduced various buildings and their uses to Aiglon.
Until finally, in front of an inconspicuous building, her story stopped.
Because she clearly saw a carriage being slowly pulled into the stable by a servant.
"Ah, it seems like there are guests coming now." She sighed unconsciously.
"Yes, it seems so." Aigron was not surprised, but agreed calmly.
"That's strange. Logically speaking, since Princess Auguste is entertaining distinguished guests like you, she shouldn't make any reservations for other guests, right?" After a moment, Chanel felt a little confused, "Mrs.
To do such a rude thing..."
"Maybe it's because the guest has a special status and she can't refuse at the moment...?" Aigron asked calmly.
"That's what I said, but how many people can make Madam give in..." Chanel became even more curious.
"How about we go and see who he is?" Aigron suggested with a smile.
Chanel had no personal opinions to begin with and relied entirely on Aigron's will, so she was about to nod in agreement. However, she froze just as she opened her mouth.
Then, she opened her eyes wide and looked ahead with dumbfounded eyes. Without them having to look for it, the guest came to them on his own initiative.
This is a well-dressed woman, wearing a floral skirt, a lace wide-brimmed hat on her head, sapphire earrings on her fair face, and her golden brown hair swaying gently under the hat.
Her beautiful face and figure complemented the flowers around her, but her beauty was not the key point. She was exactly the same as Princess Sophie, as if the beauty in Schonbrunn Palace had been brought here by a rift in time and space.
Aigron was not surprised at all, he just quietly moved forward.
In this small garden, the distance between them became closer and closer. The dress of the woman opposite, her pretending to be serious, and the charming expression hidden under the serious face were all revealed in every detail.
In Aigron's eyes, everything seemed to have gone back in time to a few days ago.
Chanel regained her consciousness slightly, she hurriedly followed Aiglon's footsteps, and then rushed in front of the woman.
Like Aiglon last time, at the first moment, she thought her eyes were dazzled and she actually saw Her Highness Sophie, but now she has come to her senses and guessed the true identity of the other party.
"Your Highness Maria?" She asked cautiously with respect and a little instinctive fear.
Unlike Aigron, Chanel had known about Maria's existence for a long time, and had come into contact with Princess Sophie's twin sister many times before leaving Bavaria, so she reacted faster than Aigron.
However, when she reacted, she finally realized something else and figured out another thing: His Majesty had probably made an appointment with Princess Maria to meet here before, and her happiness just now was actually just an illusion.
She looked at the young man next to her with a sad and aggrieved expression, which seemed to be both questioning and complaining, but in the end she said nothing.
"Long time no see, Chanel." While she was feeling sad, Princess Maria also recognized her and called her by name, "But you didn't seem too happy after seeing me?"
Of course she won't be happy... Chanel said in her heart.
"No, I'm very happy." She smiled reluctantly, and then asked the other party in a low voice, "You...why are you interested in coming to visit today?"
"Is there any problem with me visiting my sister?" Princess Maria asked. "Or do I have to choose a date?"
"Of course not." Faced with this slightly pointed rhetorical question, Chanel's face froze, and then she quickly shook her head, "You...you can visit her as much as you want."
She didn't have much contact with Princess Maria at first, but she could feel that she was more sharp-tongued than Princess Sophie, and her words were sharper, making her almost unstoppable.
But when we saw her today, that familiar feeling came back. She didn't dare to disobey Her Highness the Princess because of her low status. Now, although her status is no longer what it used to be, she still hasn't had time to abandon the inferiority complex in her bones.
Therefore, just by being questioned, she instantly lost all confidence.
But she still had some doubts in her heart about why the two of them actually met and made an appointment to meet here?
Could it be that the two of them had met before at Nymphenburg Palace?
If that's the case, what exactly did they talk about in the first place?
In other words, what is Princess Maria thinking about?
All kinds of thoughts suddenly flooded into Chanel's mind, causing her to almost lose the ability to think. Her eyes fell on Princess Maria's face unconsciously, but she could not see anything in Her Royal Highness's vague smile.
Come.
"Chanel, please take a rest next to me while I chat with Her Highness Maria for a while." At this time, Aiglon spoke.
Chanel nodded silently, and then stepped aside. Although she felt a lot disappointed in her heart, since this was the master's will, she could only obey it.
There will always be enough time to satisfy her curiosity in the future, so there is no need to rush it.
After Chanel withdrew, Aigron showed a cheerful smile, and then bowed to the dressed-up princess.
"You have indeed not broken your promise, Your Highness."
"That's natural." Princess Maria replied calmly, "I always keep my promises. Since I promised you to come, I will come no matter how reluctant I am."
"But judging from your attitude, I don't see much reluctance." Aigron said with a smile, "Although I don't know much about women, I believe that no woman would dress up carefully to meet someone she hates.
Man, that is as incredible as a rich man giving away his most precious possessions to his enemies."
"You take it for granted! Everyone has his own way of life, and I am the kind of person who likes to dress up and watch gladiatorial performances." Princess Maria's smile deepened.
"If that's the case, then I'm so lucky. If I can make you smile, it's worth it even if I have to face a life-and-death struggle." Although he was blocked by her again, Aigron didn't feel dissatisfied.
"Children, don't talk too much. It won't be fun if it comes true one day~" Maria picked up the folding fan, opened it in front of her lips, and then chuckled.
Aiglon just smiled.
When they met before, Princess Maria made sarcastic remarks to him, which made him speechless several times and made him furious.
But when we met today, although she was still not polite at all, the acrimony that made people tingle had disappeared a lot, and instead there was some fun in targeting each other.
At least he was having fun.
He looked steadily at the other person's face, looking at that subtle smile, and seemed to be back to the past in a daze.
"Don't act like this in front of me again." Princess Maria frowned slightly, seeming a little displeased, "No one wants to be treated as someone else all the time, even my twin sister."
"I'm sorry..." Aigron came back to his senses, "Your beauty makes me a little distracted, please forgive me."
"Okay, are you ready?" Princess Maria seemed not to want to beat around the bush and asked him directly.
"Ready." Aigron nodded, then took out a letter from his arms and handed it to the other party.
He wrote this just now in his sworn brother's study.
