Aiglon was even more shocked than when he saw Axeman. He didn't expect that things would unfold like this after he confessed.
Under his gaze, Princess Maria quietly walked out from behind the tassel and came to the side of Aigron and King Ludwig.
The face that looked exactly like Sophie's was now filled with ridicule and disdain, as if Sophie herself was about to get angry.
Egron felt so guilty that he didn't know how to explain it at this moment; and Ludwig didn't seem to get over the shock, staring at the young man in front of him with dumbfounded eyes.
"I didn't expect you to have such ability, to be able to bewitch that useless guy so much." In the silence, Maria spoke first, "Huh, now she knows the consequences, right? The old emperor gave her retribution.
."
Aigron lowered his gaze, not daring to look at her again.
"This is all my responsibility. I admit that I cheated her. She has paid too much for me..."
"And in return, you happily married and will add a younger brother or sister to you and her daughter. You are really a considerate lover." Maria seemed to have heard that Theresa was pregnant.
News, so he snatched him away mercilessly, "That's right, you are so filial to close relatives like my grandfather and mother, who can expect you to be more compassionate to other people?"
Aiglon bit his lip and regained his composure in the pain, "My hatred for my grandfather and mother is justifiable. They treated me so much, why can't I be resentful? As for Your Highness Sophie, I have never
I have never had any resentment. From the first time we met, she has been very gentle and considerate to me, and she has been the same since then. I regret that I have put her in this situation, so I want to find a way to make up for it - if I didn't think so
If so, why should I confess the truth in front of His Majesty the King?"
Then, he looked at King Ludwig and said, "Your Majesty the King, to tell you the truth, I only learned about this daughter in Greece through a letter from my parents-in-law and a message sent to me by Her Royal Highness Sophie.
Exist. She asked me not to forget this poor child, and I have not forgotten her request, so I have vowed to find a way to let this child enjoy the glory she deserves in the future, and I think I may be able to find it from you.
A little help... Maybe my request is a bit excessive, but I have no intention of leaving her alone."
Eggron's words were so candid that King Ludwig was somewhat moved after hearing them.
He was shocked when he heard the news just now, but he was not angry - after all, for him, this kind of romance in the royal family is too common, and he himself has even played the leading role many times, so his sister Su
What does Fei's personal relationship mean?
Of course, they went too far and had an illegitimate daughter, but this was nothing shocking - the king felt that, as the Duke just said, the reason why the old Austrian emperor was so angry was probably because he ran away, and
It's not this romantic affair...
Precisely because he didn't feel so terrible in his heart, after Aigron explained, he took the initiative to stand up and smooth things over for Aigron. "Okay, Maria, don't criticize the Duke too harshly. He also has his own difficulties. Do you want to
Now that Emperor Franz wants to punish Sophie, what can he do outside Austrian territory? It is no longer easy for him to take the initiative to take responsibility and take care of the child. "
"Of course you romantic princes and grandsons can understand and forgive each other easily. Who wants us women to suffer only? No matter how much suffering they suffer, they can't hinder your happiness." Princess Maria didn't seem to have much respect for the king's brother.
He refuted him directly.
The king looked embarrassed, but he could only shrug angrily. "That's not what I meant... But what problem can be solved by losing your temper now?"
Princess Maria no longer paid attention to Brother Wang, but turned to look at Aigron again.
"Your Highness, you say you are responsible, but it is easy to say so, but the actual actions are not so simple - so how do you plan to take care of it?"
Although her expression and tone were very rude, Aiglon was not angry, because her expression and expression were as if Sophie was questioning him.
This is indeed his own debt, and he cannot escape it no matter what.
Normally, his eloquence can be described as eloquent, but now under the gaze of Maria/Sophie, he found it difficult to dodge.
"I... can't do anything about it for the time being." He took a deep breath, and then simply told the truth, "It is my grandfather, Emperor Franz, who is punishing her now, and I can still try to force him to change his mind.
My strength is not strong enough yet...but one day I will be able to let him weigh my opinion, and when I step onto the throne, I will have many ways to force him to lift all punishments."
"Well, it sounds very reasonable." Maria smiled seemingly understandingly, and then asked, "So when do you think you can ascend the throne? One year, two years, ten years? Or forever? She
Do I have to wait for you to become famous all the time?"
"I think it won't take as long as ten years." Aigron replied proudly. "Although you two may think it's ridiculous now, I think the time is close to ripe, and I will soon be able to pick the most dazzling fruit."
When other people said this, they would appear arrogant and even a little ridiculous, but when this young man said it, he had such an inexplicable persuasiveness that the king and princess couldn't help but be slightly moved.
"Okay, then pretend you can do it - but what should you do in the meantime? Just let the two of them endure such cruel treatment? What's the difference between your statement and doing nothing?" Princess Maria further said.
Pressing, "You'd better think about it, it's been more than a year since you left Austria, which means that Kristel is already one year old, and it's time to start her education. Can you bear to let her be ignorant?"
Start your own childhood away from the education that a royal princess should have? Then no matter how much glory and wealth you give her, she will not be recognized by the people around her."
Eggron suddenly realized that Maria was right, this was indeed a big problem.
Although the Austrian official would not kill his and Sophie's illegitimate daughter, it is obviously a fool's errand to expect His Majesty Emperor Franz to treat her as his granddaughter (or great-granddaughter?). If Austria keeps imprisoning her,
She missed the education during her formative years, which would be a very heavy blow to her future.
"Then what do you think we should do?" he asked humbly.
"The easiest way is obvious. I just don't know if you dare to do it." Maria sneered.
"You can teach me first. If it makes sense, I will do it." Aigron agreed.
"You must fulfill your filial piety and find a way to send someone to find an opportunity to send the old emperor to serve God in advance, and try to do it as beautifully as possible. This is the simplest and most direct decisive way." Maria said coldly.
Although she spoke in an understatement, both Aiglon and King Ludwig took a breath of cold air.
This is not about killing an ordinary person, it is about killing a Habsburg emperor. It's not that simple!
"Are you kidding?" Aigron asked with a grimace. "Now is not the time to joke."
"Why am I kidding?" Maria asked, "Look, the old emperor only has two sons. The eldest son is a dementia, and the younger son is also confused all day long. If the old emperor meets God, what will happen to the Habsburg royal family?
Didn't they have to ask Sophie to come forward to support them? Do they still dare to let the prince with ulterior motives come as regent? So wouldn't all the problems be solved directly?
I know it is not easy to kill an emperor, but the emperor does not live in seclusion in the palace every day. When you lived in Schönbrunn Palace for so many years, didn’t you know his daily habits and itinerary? As long as he goes out to patrol or hunt,
At that time, find a few die-hard subordinates to send him away. Wouldn't that solve the problem? His Majesty the Emperor is now an obstacle to everyone's peace, so you allowed him to be called by the Lord and rescued his subjects by the way.
Isn’t it very reasonable?”
Aigron's eyes widened when he heard it. He didn't expect that he could actually hear a princess say such words in Nymphenburg Palace, and in such a matter-of-fact and understated manner.
What a lawless and fearless woman!
"You can't say that -" he wanted to retort.
"Don't you want to be the king of France? It is a French tradition to be filial to your father. When Louis XI was the prince, didn't he rebel against his father, Charles VII, and sent assassins several times to try to send his father away in advance?
Serve the Lord?" Maria interrupted him again with a smile, "You are acting in the French way, which is reasonable."
Aigron was surprised to find that he actually felt something reasonable in his heart. Maria's words seemed to reveal the darkest corner of his heart.
Yes, if we could really send my grandfather to serve God in advance, wouldn’t that solve the problem?
No, no! The next moment, he regained his senses and hurriedly put away the idea.
It's not that his "filial piety" suddenly revived, but that assassinating the king and killing the king is no joke. Let's not say whether he can succeed or not. Even if he does succeed, once the matter is exposed, he will directly take the responsibility.
With the title of "The Second Generation of the Man-Eating Monster of Corsica", the reputation that he finally accumulated will disappear in an instant, and no European royal family will regard him as a negotiable person.
So you can't do this, even if it's really "simple and straightforward".
"Maria, that's enough!" King Ludwig on the other side also recovered from the shock. He couldn't listen anymore and scolded his sister loudly, "If you say such things again, I will kill you."
Kicked you out!"
He had no friendship or affection with Emperor Franz. It would not matter to him if the emperor was assassinated, but if word spread that the conspiracy was formed in his palace, how would he deal with it then? So he couldn't care less now.
What a demeanor.
After being scolded so sternly by Brother Wang, Maria finally stopped talking, but she still muttered in a low voice, "You keep saying that you are capable of doing great things, but in the end you are still timid? Just forget it if you don't dare."
"I really can't do this." Aigron also came to his senses and answered her forcefully, "If I only act for myself, then I am willing to pay tribute to the sufferings I have suffered and the sufferings Your Highness Sophie is suffering now.
His Majesty the Emperor wants to clear things up, but now I have the hopes and lives of too many people on my shoulders, and I cannot make fun of them... Please don't say such things again."
"Okay, I know you don't dare." Maria sighed, "Then I have a better idea."
"What's your idea?" Because of the shocking suggestion just now, Aigron has no expectations for Maria at all and is just asking casually.
"I took the letter from Brother Wang and the Queen Mother and went to Vienna to see her by myself." Maria's tone became much more relaxed this time. "They would definitely stop me if I wrote a letter, but if I went there by myself, they would
It can't be stopped, right? Who can not allow a younger sister to see her older sister? After I see her, I will go to Emperor Franz and negotiate with him. I know my interests, although I may not be able to persuade him.
It shouldn’t be a problem to release Crystal, but to visit her, right? I’ll try my best to get better treatment for them, mother and daughter... How about that?”
Aigron suddenly realized that this proposal was too normal.
"His Majesty the Emperor is not so easily convinced." He thought for a moment and then answered.
Not only is it not easy to persuade, but if Princess Maria follows her usual habit of making sarcastic remarks to the old emperor, she will probably be immediately thrown into a cell by the furious old emperor... Aigron secretly complained in his heart.
"No matter what, you have to try, right?" Maria asked. "Maybe I really succeeded?"
Aiglon thought to himself that even if this method failed, he would not lose much, so he might as well look forward to it.
etc!
Aigron suddenly reacted.
Princess Maria played a trick on herself and King Ludwig - she was teasing both of them by first proposing a condition that was impossible to agree to, and then jumping to an executable condition, so that neither of them could refuse.
...But even so, you can still try it.
Eggron made a decision.
"Okay, let's do it." He nodded, and then looked at Princess Maria with admiration, "Your Highness, you...your sisterly love is so deep that I am really moved and admired."
"The relationship is very good? You are completely wrong! Let me tell you the truth, we have a bad relationship. We have loved to quarrel since we were young, and we have to fight over anything trivial." Maria replied angrily,
"Since you are so familiar with her, you should know what kind of character she is. Can people like her, or in other words, people like me, get along well together?"
Aiglon imagined it for a moment - and then immediately stopped his imagination.
Chanel had said before that the two sisters often quarreled, and they would be all kinds of crazy when they get along with each other.
At this moment, Maria changed the subject again, "But that being said, she is my sister after all. We came into this world with one foot in front and the other in hindsight. If she was bullied, that means I was bullied. Am I really
Can I watch helplessly? I have to do something, right? Even if I ridicule what happened to her in the end, I have to let her survive first!"
After finishing speaking, she looked at King Ludwig with urging in her eyes.
The king seemed a little emotional too.
He also recalled the time when his two sisters were together - it was indeed a troublesome time, but it also made people feel a little nostalgic.
These two sisters were born to the second queen of his father, King Maximilian I. They were nearly 20 years older than him. It could be said that as the eldest brother, he was already half a father.
Now that my sister is in trouble, of course I can't do anything to assassinate the king, but a little help is considered a favor...
Besides, if I don't do it, God knows what this sister will do.
"Okay, I'll write a letter, but that's all, Maria." Finally, he sighed.
