Princess Sophie's tone was very calm, but she seemed to be announcing something unconsciously.
Aigron looked at her face and suddenly noticed the reason why Princess Sophie's behavior was slightly different from usual today.
She is obviously trying to win over herself, and this kind of win over should come from a sense of crisis.
Yes, Teresa's marriage, although it has not yet been decided at all, has given her a sense of crisis and made her afraid of losing her intimate relationship with herself, so she deliberately treated herself more tolerantly and even flattered her a little -
- She emphasized this point unintentionally, because she subconsciously hoped that she would recognize this kind intention.
Once people have something they are afraid of losing, they will worry about gains and losses. This has always been the case.
Now that he has figured it out, he only has one sentence left to say.
"You are the best person to me." He replied in a low voice. "Thanks to your care, I have been able to find the joy of living here. I am forever grateful for your kindness."
After hearing this answer, Princess Sophie raised her forehead slightly, a little surprised, but more of a surprise.
"As long as you know."
Her smile bloomed like a flower, and it was obvious that this sentence satisfied her expectations more than any other words.
Aiglon knew he had guessed correctly.
Then, as if she was worried, she emphasized again, "Aigron, you must remember what you said."
"I will remember it." Aigron replied solemnly.
However, although he looked grateful on the surface, he also felt a little guilty in his heart.
Because he knew that while he was trying to please her, he was slowly using her at the same time.
Maybe he can think of ways to say all kinds of nice things to make His Highness happy now, but sooner or later, she will see what she has done, and at that time, what kind of impact should she receive?
If he was really heartless and didn't care about her feelings at all, then of course it wouldn't matter, but he was not that heartless, so when he thought about the scene that was destined to come, he suddenly couldn't help but feel a little frightened.
"What's the matter, Aigron?" Princess Sophie asked when she saw that he was suddenly silent.
"It's nothing, I just thought of how to make you happy-" Aigron covered up the past.
"Make me happy?" Princess Sophie was surprised and happy, "You still think about these things? You have grown up."
After a moment, she changed the subject, "Didn't I say that that day? It's very simple to make me happy. Just listen to me and stay with me. Leave the rest to me..."
But there was no way to do this... Aigron couldn't help but feel a little pain in his heart.
"I'll try hard." All he could do was smile and nod.
Princess Sophie was very happy to be coaxed by Aigron's words, so she continued to discuss the script with Aigron enthusiastically, and after a long time she stood up and left.
"Aigron, remember, tomorrow night." She emphasized again before leaving, "We will make a big splash."
"Well, I believe so too." Aigron nodded, then stood up and sent His Highness away.
After returning to the room, Aigron slumped down on the sofa with some exhaustion.
"Chanel, bring me some water, I'm a little thirsty..."
It's not so much the exhaustion of dry mouth, but rather the mental pressure. While affectionately making His Highness happy while planning to escape from her without hesitation, this kind of mental pressure is a bit too much even for him, but this kind of pressure
And I couldn't show even half of it in front of her, so it was extra hard.
"Okay, Your Highness." Chanel saw Aigron's tired look and agreed with heartache.
She immediately poured a glass of water and handed it to Aigron, who picked up the tea and drank it in one gulp.
The cool liquid finally drove away his mental fatigue, allowing him to squint his eyes comfortably.
"Your Highness, are you feeling uncomfortable?" Chanel asked cautiously, "Are you feeling sorry for His Highness?"
"It seems that you are indeed very good at observing people's emotions." Aiglon replied with a wry smile, "Yes, it is true... If I have ever cared about anyone in this palace, it would be her. When I think of me cheating on her,
And I was destined to run away from her when she was so reluctant to let me go, so I felt a little uncomfortable."
"Your Highness... I can understand how you feel." Chanel let out a distressed sigh, "I think anyone in your situation would feel sorry for Your Highness."
"Of course, even so, I still won't change my mind. No matter how uncomfortable it is, it is still the path I have chosen, and I will bear the result." Aigron seemed to be telling her, or warning himself, "But,
I still hope that I can make her suffer less. Sure enough, I am a bit ridiculous, right? I want to hurt people, but I also want to not hurt her deeply enough..."
Chanel hesitated for a moment. She knew that in her capacity she shouldn't say certain things, but when she saw her master looking so troubled, she couldn't pretend to turn a blind eye.
"Your Highness, if you are afraid that she will be too uncomfortable by then, I think... you can appropriately draw a clear line in our relationship with Your Highness." She suggested carefully, "If we can maintain the relationship as ordinary friends, I think Your Highness can
Even if it hurts, I can still withstand this kind of blow."
Aiglon, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly opened his eyes, then raised his head slightly to look at Chanel standing in front of him.
This look was so sharp that Shanel suddenly turned pale with fright and started to tremble.
"Your Highness...I...I'm just a suggestion, you don't need to take it seriously..."
Aigron quickly suppressed his anger and replied calmly. "It doesn't matter. I won't blame you. You are also thinking of a way for me. It's just that I'm sorry that I can't accept this idea."
He knew that Chanel's suggestion was the most normal and the one that best fulfilled his wish and could solve the problem to the greatest extent.
However, he was unwilling and could not accept that he should draw a clear line between himself and His Highness Sophie.
Especially, after experiencing that hug and kiss... the young man's heart was already throbbing, so how could he be willing to let go?
So this became a dead end.
He was unwilling to hurt Sophie too much, nor was he willing to let go and draw a clear line with her, nor was he willing to give up his plan.
This is almost an impossible triangle, and it is impossible to achieve all three at the same time.
As for which one of the three to choose, he had actually already made his choice.
He couldn't whitewash what he did, he knew he had to recognize the price he had to pay.
"I will make it up to her..." As if hypnotizing himself, the young man suddenly muttered to himself in the silence, "No matter what, I will make it up to her in the future... As long as we win, everything can be undone.
.”
=================================================
Princess Sophie did what she said, and on the next night, someone summoned her to meet with His Highness.
Just like last time, they changed their clothes and took a carriage to the Ruby Theater where they reserved a box last time.
Of course, the theater still remembered these two generous patrons. As soon as they arrived, someone took them upstairs to the box.
"Call your manager over. I have something to explain to him." Princess Sophie ordered the waiter as soon as she went upstairs.
Although he has changed into civilian clothes, his daily habits are of course not that easy to change. His Highness still has the habit of ordering people around.
But this trick was unexpectedly popular outside, and the waiter immediately obeyed the young woman's order.
Soon, the manager of the theater rushed to the box.
"Miss Memmingen!" As soon as they met, the middle-aged man immediately saluted Princess Sophie with an exaggerated courtesy, "You are still as radiant as last time, and you are more beautiful than our actress."
He still remembers the last incident in his mind. He is experienced in the world and can certainly see that although the siblings do not know their origins, they must be rich or noble, and they are so generous when they make a move, so he will definitely want to work hard.
Flatter them.
And he could also see that the dominant person in this group was Miss Sophia Memmingen. Judging from her bossy attitude, she must be the one who speaks her mind at home. As long as you please her, then
Don’t worry about money not rolling in.
"Good evening, sir." Princess Sophie, who has been accustomed to flattery and compliments from others since she was a child, certainly does not accept this trick. "I wasted your time because I wanted to talk about what we talked about last time."
The manager paused for a moment before thinking back.
Then, he looked at Aiglon, who was silent next to him. "Is it about the young master's script?"
"Since you still remember, it saves me the trouble." Princess Sophie nodded immediately, "How about it?"
The manager smiled awkwardly, "Actually...let me tell you, every year there are many young people who want to make a splash, dreaming of being playwrights, and want to send us scripts, but most of the works
In the end, they can only end up in the wastebasket. It's not that we look down on them, but this job... is not that easy in the first place. The young master may have some strange dreams, but I think he has such a good life.
There is no point in asking for trouble..."
"Having said all that, isn't it just a matter of price?" Princess Sophie frowned, "I said, we are responsible for all the expenses ourselves. If you are not happy, don't talk nonsense. We will find another one.
alright!"
"Miss, don't be like this!" The manager immediately shook his head, "I'm just advising your brother, I didn't say no... As long as you are willing to bear the corresponding expenses, it will not be a problem. However, I still have to remind you that the expenses will definitely
More than you think, after all, actors and props cost a lot of money..."
"I can handle these things myself. You don't need to worry about me." Princess Sophie smiled. "Just do your job well."
Then, she stopped talking and winked at Chanel who was standing next to her.
Chanel immediately handed the prepared script to the manager.
Oh, it’s great to have money, you can play all kinds of tricks!
The manager took over the script with a little helplessness and disdain.
It was carefully bound into a volume and looked exactly like that.
The manager opened it casually and read Juanxiu's handwriting.
"Is this really written by the young master?" He was a little confused.
"Ah, my hands have been inconvenient recently, so I dictated it and asked the maid to write it for me." Aigron replied, "This won't be a problem."
"It doesn't matter, of course it doesn't matter..." The manager shook his head.
