"Some things are not as controllable as you think. Once you go too far, it will turn into a disaster."
Of course Aigron could hear his mother's implicit warning, but he had always been a proud and stubborn person, so naturally he couldn't change his mind just because of his mother's few words.
"I will consider it, thank you." He responded casually.
Although she didn't get along with her son for long, she was a mother after all. Seeing Aigron like this, Louisa knew that her advice was completely useless.
But, what can she do? This son is capable, has a gun and territory, and is beyond her control. She even asks for help from him.
So she had no choice but not to dwell on this issue, but asked another important question.
"How is Teresa now? Has she returned to Ioannina now? I heard she is pregnant."
"You are really well-informed." Aigron nodded, "Yes, when we were in Bavaria, we found out that she was pregnant, and then I asked her to go back first. She is fine now, and she feels at ease there.
Raise the fetus and take care of the principality there."
"It's really hard for her. We have to make so many sacrifices for our family. This is probably our fate..." Louisa sarcastically said, and then looked at Agron again, "Anyway
, this is also a great thing, I will have a grandson or a granddaughter. Yes, there are many conflicts between us, which may not be resolved until the future, but I have no problems with my grandchildren."
She paused intentionally and said, "Son, before the child is born, I probably won't be able to witness his or her birth, but it's reasonable. As a grandmother, I have to give a gift."
Aigron doesn't have any idea about this matter, as there is a family relationship between grandfather and grandson, so why does he need to say more?
"Then I would like to thank you on behalf of this unborn child." He immediately thanked his mother, "If you are willing, I will let the child see you if I have the opportunity in the future."
"Well, that's the best." Louisa looked a little melancholy, and then let out a long sigh, "The time is really terrible... It's so terrible, I still remember those carefree times when I was a girl. As a result,
In a blink of an eye, I will be a grandmother in a few months! I am afraid that most of my life has ended like this..."
His mother's sentiments also resonated with Aigron.
Indeed, time is cruel to everyone. Although he is still a young man now, it is inevitable that he will grow up and get older day by day.
Therefore, in order to give meaning to these times, he must complete his destined achievements so that his life will not be in vain.
"Actually, you don't have to be so pessimistic, mother." He suppressed the sadness in his heart, and then comforted his mother, "You just gave birth to me when you were twenty years old, and I gave you a grandchild when I was seventeen.
My dear, if you look carefully at your age, you are still very young, and you are absolutely a lady in her prime. It’s just that you are living in seclusion to avoid the world. If you intend to return to the social world, you will definitely be very popular among people.
"
"Haha..." Louisa was amused by him and laughed out loud, "Okay, don't say such things. What else can I hope for at my age? I have experienced too many disasters, and I would rather
Living in seclusion, I just hope that my family will no longer be disturbed by human disasters."
In any case, Aigron's joke worked, and the tense atmosphere between the two people relaxed a lot.
"Well, since you are still recuperating, I won't waste your time anymore. You can have a good rest." Then, his mother said goodbye to him, "Recuperate your body more and don't take risks again. You may not be like this next time."
So much luck..."
After saying that, she walked out of the room.
However, she did not leave immediately, but came to the next room again, where Maria was waiting.
As soon as she saw Louisa, Maria quickly put on a very respectful look and first saluted her and said hello.
"It's an honor to meet you, Your Highness."
Maria was so arrogant that even Louisa's father didn't take her seriously, so naturally she wouldn't really respect Louisa.
However, first of all, she couldn't be disrespectful of etiquette, and secondly, Louisa was also Aiglon's mother after all, so she still showed her attitude on the surface.
"I'm glad to see you too, Your Highness." Louisa greeted the other party gently, and then bowed in the same way, "Although we met in this unexpected way, I think we can meet new faces.
It's always a good thing Who makes life in our little principality so dull? So I welcome you."
Maria was slightly embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
"Sorry, I disturbed you...but this is definitely not my intention, this is a trick of fate."
"It's not so much a trick of fate, but rather the result of my bastard son's mischief. I can understand your embarrassment. Hey, he always uses various methods to give us headaches... You are by no means the first victim.
." Louisa comforted her kindly and relieved her embarrassment, "However, no matter how you came, since you are here, you are our guest, and you also rescued my son, and you are my benefactor.
Thank you very much...please rest assured that as long as you stay with us for a day, you will receive the highest standard of courtesy. You probably don't have much chance to travel around. Although we are a dull little place, it is not
There’s no shortage of beautiful scenery, so you can enjoy the sightseeing to keep you entertained.”
Although the two had just met for the first time, Luisa handled it almost impeccably, being humble and decent, and cleverly overshadowing the awkwardness between the two.
After all, she has been a queen. No matter how low-key she is, she still cannot be underestimated... Maria thought to herself.
She suddenly thought that if her sister hadn't lost her mind at that time, maybe the two of them would be a real mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, so why would they be so awkward now?
When she thought of this, she couldn't help but secretly hate Sophie and Theresa.
But she quickly put these thoughts aside, and then smiled and replied to the other party, "You are going too far. I was just doing my duty. After all, part of the reason why he was injured was also because of me."
We should take this responsibility.”
Louisa had just learned from Aigron's inaccurate account that Maria was trying to help her son and Sophie, so she went to Vienna to visit her father and her twin sister, and then made an appointment to meet in Milan.
, and finally encountered the attacker.
Although she understood the entire timeline, she still had lingering doubts in her heart.
She is also a princess herself, and she doesn't believe in her heart that a princess would do this for others, even for her twin sister.
She felt that there must be other reasons and motives.
And this motive seems to be quite obvious.
Logically speaking, she doesn't really want to care about her son's affairs.
However, the status of this pair of Bavarian princesses is special, and her son is not a fuel-efficient lamp. If they are allowed to run wild, not only will they cause trouble for themselves, but God knows how many black spots will be added to the Habsburg family?
She has not been involved in world affairs for many years, and she does not want to get involved in the affairs of her juniors and cause trouble for herself. However, as the eldest daughter of her father, she still wants to make the last effort to persuade Maria to let this person go.
Stop insisting on having your own way with your sisters.
It's best to let these scandals end here and everyone pretend that nothing happened.
"I previously sent a letter to Her Highness Sophie at my son's request. Like you, I sympathize with Her Highness Sophie's experience," she said in a low voice.
"I know this, she told me all about it." Maria nodded, "I thank you for your selfless help when she was in trouble."
"Hey... it's really a blow of fate that things have come to this point." Louisa sighed, "My father is indeed a bit harsh."
After expressing sympathy at first, she immediately changed the subject, "However, please understand his difficulties. He has always been a man who is pious to God and strictly self-disciplined. When something like this happens, it is inevitable to get angry.
Now that things are like this, we all might as well look forward and bury the past in the past, it will be better for everyone."
Although she spoke tactfully, how could Maria not understand her subtext with her intelligence?
"The world is always more tolerant to men. If the same thing happens to her, it is heinous and she deserves to suffer. But what if it happens to others?" So she immediately pushed back, "Just look around you and me.
, my father and brother were romantic and had their own mistresses; and your father has been married four times, and there may have been secret lovers during the period; as for Metternich, he had countless lovers, and he didn’t know who he was.
How many ladies have had casual marriages! No one will hold them accountable for doing this, but my sister just fell in love with someone, which has become a crime! I don’t object to her being punished for breaking the precepts, but the person who punishes her first must first
Prove that you are qualified?"
Maria's reply made Louisa's face turn red and white.
What a sharp-tongued woman! She is exactly like her sister.
Louisa had seen Sophie's behavior before, but she didn't expect to see it again with Maria. Not only was it exactly the same, it was even worse.
Although she felt unhappy, she found it difficult to respond to these remarks.
After all, after you have taught a hundred steps, why don't you allow people to only do fifty or even thirty steps? It doesn't sound very reasonable.
After regaining her composure, Louisa changed her approach.
"I can actually understand this, so I don't blame Her Highness Sophie. I understand the difficulties of being a woman... Hey, it is indeed a lonely place. It is human for her to like Franz. I don't
No disrespect to my brothers, but I also feel that they are completely incomparable to Franz."
After putting a high hat on her son and rationalizing Sophie's actions, she changed the topic again, "But now that we have reached this point, no matter what, everyone should recognize the reality and the past is the past.
The two of them had no choice but to go their separate ways, and so did everyone else. Now, my son is married to Teresa, and they visited me together last time. They are a perfect match, and I feel that
I also feel very relieved, not to mention that Teresa is pregnant now and will soon bring me my first grandchild... I feel even more sincerely happy. Maybe this is God's will, and it was God who made Habu
The Fort family and the Bonaparte family have reconciled through another marriage. Her children will be blessed and inherit the business, and she will also have her glorious life. After my father calms down, she will definitely regain her past glory.
, wouldn’t it be nice to become the most dazzling jewel in the Austrian court?”
Then, she smiled slightly and said, "Presumably, this result is the best for you, right? You don't need to worry about the two of them anymore. You can also pursue your best life instead of
Being entangled in these headaches..."
Although Luisa's words actually made sense, the subtle sarcasm in them made Maria feel uncomfortable all over.
No, it was not so much the sarcasm that made her uncomfortable, but the condescending tone that made her uncomfortable.
You have already lost, and you have been completely defeated. Stop worrying about it and live your own wonderful life...
These words do make sense, but do you deserve to say them? What kind of great person are you? Obviously I am just a follower...
Luisa did not notice Maria's expression, but thought she had persuaded her because of her silence.
"I was just telling Franz that I was going to prepare a gift for my first grandchild. I believe Theresa will also be happy to receive my blessing..." she continued.
"You really like to speculate, Your Highness." At this time, Maria suddenly raised her head and interrupted Luisa. "You even got the basic facts wrong."
"What do you mean?" Louisa was stunned.
"You said Teresa is pregnant with your first grandchild? That's a big mistake. In fact, you already have your first grandchild, and it's said to be quite cute." Maria said with a gentle smile.
, greeting Louisa, "Congratulations, Your Highness, your grandchildren will definitely be very healthy and lovely."
Louisa was still stunned for a moment, not understanding what she meant.
Then, her eyes widened, as if she had been struck by lightning.
"...you...you..." Her lips trembled, but she didn't know what to say.
She didn't expect that her son and Sophie would be so bold. No wonder her father was so angry!
"This kind of disaster is indeed not what we want to see, but as a sister, I can only think of ways to remedy it. I can't leave the child alone, right?" Maria asked, "What do you think?"
Louisa was speechless.
"Oh God...how could this happen!" Finally, she let out a long sigh and suddenly felt a little guilty. "I set up Teresa with the emperor, but I brought her such a disaster!"
Maria showed no regrets.
What? So you were the one instigating it?
Okay, it turns out that besides Teresa, my second enemy is actually you!
She was almost furious for a moment, but she quickly calmed down and pretended that nothing happened.
Wait, it's best not to let me gain the upper hand in the future, otherwise I'll deal with you too.
