[...Oh, I accidentally typed the chapter number wrong again...Sorry]
"Hopefully she has come out of the shadows. I will remember what I promised before."
After Theresa heard these words, although her expression did not change, she couldn't help but feel a little sad in her heart.
Although Aigron didn't say it explicitly, she certainly knew what "previous promise" meant.
Because he knew it so clearly, the delicious broth in his mouth seemed to have lost its taste for a while.
But Teresa soon swallowed the broth as if nothing had happened, and then nodded to her husband calmly.
"Okay, if there is a chance, I will convey these words to Her Highness Sophie... I hope she can also get some comfort from them."
Theresa did not want to quarrel with her husband over some old things, nor did she want Sophie and Kristel to become a stumbling block in their marriage. Although Sophie left her with all bad memories, for her
, showing a little compassion to Sophie appropriately will make you appear more generous. The past has passed, and there is no need to worry about it anymore.
Because of this idea, she suggested more gently, "Also, if you want to write a letter to her, I can also hand it over on your behalf... Don't worry, Your Highness, I won't open it and read it."
"Thank you, Teresa." Agron shook his head, "But no, I think with her current situation, if I show too much enthusiasm towards her, it will be detrimental to her, and my grandfather will be affected by it.
I hate her even more... I have already caused her too much trouble, and the only thing I can do for her now is to consciously disappear from her life and bless her with infinite good intentions."
Teresa was moved and relieved to hear these words. She felt that His Highness had finally left behind the burden of the past. How had she ever thought that her husband gave up this precious opportunity just because he had other agendas?
Because of Aigron's statement, Teresa's mood became very happy, and then the atmosphere between the two became more harmonious, and they ended the dinner talking and laughing.
After dinner, Chanel helped Theresa back to the bedroom to rest, while Aigron came to the study, preparing to complete the final paperwork for the day.
But just as he picked up the document, the door was knocked softly again.
"Your Majesty..." Chanel's voice rang.
"Chanel? Come in!" When Aigron heard that it was Chanel, he immediately let her in.
Chanel walked in slowly, her skirt swaying slightly but not making any sound. This girl who had been serving others had long been accustomed to erasing her own sense of existence.
However, she will always have a place in Aigron's heart and cannot be forgotten.
"Chanel, what's the matter?" Aigron asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty, I really belong to you." Chanel winked her left eye playfully, as if praising Aigron.
The conversation between Agron and Theresa just now was heard by Chanel, who was serving the meal next to her, even though she was not a show-off. Compared to Theresa, who knew nothing about it, she actually knew the inside story, so
I almost laughed out loud in my heart just now.
"What? Do you want to ridicule me?" Aigron asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty, how dare I ridicule you? To me, everything you do is right." Chanel shook her head slyly, with a playful look on her face, "I was just thinking, although Your Highness Theresa is not
What tasks will I get from you, but as your trusted maid, I may get some instructions from you, so I ran over here to save you from taking the trouble to summon me... After all, if Your Highness Theresa goes to Austria
If so, it’s natural for me to accompany her, right?”
Aigron couldn't help but smile in his heart.
As expected of Chanel, I am almost completely in tune with his ideas.
He and Chanel have been together for so long, and have shared almost all secrets with each other. In theory, Chanel even knows every private part of his life better than Teresa and Sophie. This not only builds an incomparable trust between them
and dependence, and even formed a spiritual tacit understanding unconsciously.
Before Aiglon gave the order, Chanel had already guessed what he wanted to do, so he took the initiative to run over and wait for his instructions.
"Chanel, you are really... overly enthusiastic!" He couldn't help but raise his hand and scratched Chanel's nose, laughing like two friends of the same age.
After laughing for a while, he nodded again, "Well, originally I planned to tell you after I was sure that Teresa could make the trip, but since you have come over, I will tell you and I will write a
This letter was sent to Her Royal Highness Sophie. Please tell her to be patient and wait for me. The opportunity for us to change our destiny will come soon... She'd better take good care of her health now.
So that I don’t have to worry.”
"Yeah, yeah!" Chanel nodded repeatedly, "Is there anything else?"
"If you have the chance, please help me meet with Crystal and see how she is doing now. But this is not a requirement, you can do it as you see fit." Aigron added.
"I understand, Your Majesty! I will definitely try my best!" Chanel immediately agreed, "According to my guess, although His Majesty the Emperor will not allow His Highness Sophie to take care of this child personally, he should not be so ruthless as to not allow her to take care of her.
Visiting, so... there should be a chance, right?"
Aiglon thought so too, but of course he couldn't say these words in front of Theresa.
"It's too early to think about this now, let's try to make this trip come true first!" He shrugged, "Anyway, if Theresa can go home, it will be a good thing for her..."
"What Your Highness wants most is to stay by your side. It is good to return to your hometown, but without your company, she will definitely worry about you without your company. She will be restless and want to leave as soon as possible.
I'll meet you at home..." Chanel replied. "No matter how warm your parents' home is, for Your Highness, your side is the real home."
Chanel just said it lightly, but Aigron couldn't help but feel a little ashamed after hearing it because he knew that this would definitely be the case.
Doesn't this make it more obvious that he went too far? He looked away guiltily.
"Oh my, why is your majesty silent?" Chanel asked narrowly, "Do you feel that you have done something bad again, and you feel uneasy?"
Aiglon was embarrassed again. He found that although Chanel took good care of him as always, he seemed to be a little more lively and joked more recently.
This is a good thing. It shows that after getting along with herself for a long time, Chanel, who was originally bitter and resentful and walking on thin ice, gradually opened her heart, relieved the pressure in her heart, and became more like a girl.
However, the side effect is that he has become the target of her complaints from time to time. The worst thing is that every time her complaints hit the point, leaving him unable to dodge.
He didn't want to tell lies. It wasn't that he couldn't deceive Chanel. With Chanel's innocence and loyalty, he could fool her by lying just a little bit. He just didn't want to wear a mask of disguise even when facing Chanel.
, that would be too boring.
In front of everyone, he plays the role he wants to play, but when a person gets tired of acting, he needs a caring person. And Chanel is the most suitable person in his mind.
Someone who holds such an important responsibility.
In order to prevent Chanel from continuing to complain about him, he deliberately pretended to be angry.
"Chanel, you are speaking more and more inappropriately now! It seems that I indulge you too much! I should really teach you a lesson!"
Although he said it in a nasty way, he actually took Chanel into his arms and kissed her on the lips to prevent her from talking too much.
Chanel didn't resist at all, she smiled coquettishly and threw herself into the young man's arms, letting him control her.
The two of them were soon immersed in the whirlpool of confusion and infatuation, but Agron had no further plans. After all, he had just been moved by Teresa, and he really had no interest in doing anything more at this time.
After a moment, the lips and tongues of the two separated again. Aiglon's expression was normal, but Chanel's face was already covered with blush.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry... please forgive me for being disrespectful just now." She apologized pitifully to Aiglon, but she didn't seem to have much apology.
"Well, since you have served me well all this time, I will forgive you for now. I hope you will remember the lesson." Aigron also replied in a fake tone.
After the two of them finished talking, they smiled knowingly, and they both enjoyed this kind of game a little bit.
After laughing for a while, Chanel spoke again, "Your Majesty, I feel so uncomfortable when I think that I may have to be separated from you for a while... I hope this is the last time. I want to be by your side and take care of you forever.
You, until the day I die of old age."
Aigron did not answer because he did not know what would happen in the future and whether there would be any other differences.
But he knew that no matter what, he wanted Chanel to follow him, let the past, and let the fun of getting along with her today continue to be tasted, this has become an indispensable part of his life.
"Chanel, I thank fate for bringing you to me. Maybe it has given me too many devastations and blows before, but when I think that it gave me such a gift to compensate me, I feel calmer... We have all been there.
We have lost so many things, but we will create more things to remember each other."
"Your Majesty..." Chanel closed her eyes and seemed to be enjoying the romance at the moment, "No matter how many titles you give me in the future, I will never be able to get rid of the mark of my birth. No one will think that I am so noble. I
I don’t care whether I am noble or not. Because these words you said to me were once only said to the most noble princesses in the empire, but I am fortunate to be able to receive them, and you said them sincerely... I have this
Warmth, in my heart, I am already the most noble person. Your Majesty, I am noble because of you."
"Chanel, you are becoming more eloquent!" Aigron was slightly surprised by Chanel's words.
"After staying with you for a long time, I will always learn a lot. Don't forget how many manuscripts I have copied for you, Your Majesty..." Chanel blinked her watery eyes and looked deeply at the young man.
People, "If I continue, maybe I can become a poet in the future~!"
"Hahahaha..." Aigron laughed, "Then I would like to put a laurel crown on you with my own hands!"
The two were affectionate again, but they did not cross the line. Late at night, Chanel reluctantly left, leaving Aiglon to continue his previous work.
At this time, everything was completely silent, but Aigron was very excited because of his tenderness just now, and his attention became more focused.
He opened the letters sent from France, which were the latest ones, and included a new report from Edmond Dantès.
This was naturally what Aigron valued most at the moment, so he took it apart directly.
And next, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
In this letter, Edmond Dantès described in detail how he and the Marquis of Treville visited Marshal Soult. He wrote everything in great detail, especially what the Marshal said when he led the two of them to visit the coal mine.
I recorded it almost word for word and presented it to him for reading.
Aigron couldn't help but feel more and more excited.
After all, that is Marshal Soult! Now the soldier with the highest military exploits and the most seniority in the French army, he is his key recruitment target!
If he can persuade the marshal to stand on his side, there is no doubt that he will be more certain about major events. Although it cannot be said that he can sit back and relax, at least he will have important weight.
Of course, Aiglon also knew that the marshal was ambitious and would not automatically succumb to his side just because he was Bonaparte's heir. Instead, he would wait for a price and select the one with the highest bid from among the various forces.
, and the one with the greatest hope of success is something that has been proven by history.
Aigron carefully read Edmond Dantès's description in the letter, feeling both emotional and surprised in his heart.
I feel sad because the marshal would actually take coal mines as his pleasure, which is really a bit humiliating.
He was surprised because he did not expect that Marshal Soult was forced to devote himself to industry because he was idle at home. However, he unexpectedly learned to look at problems from the perspective of an industrialist instead of a soldier.
He kept saying that "the future era belongs to machines" and "if we cannot defeat the British in industry, no matter how many troops we have, we will still be defeated." This is almost something that has been proven by history.
At present, the Industrial Revolution is already in full swing on the British Isles, and has rapidly increased Britain's national power. In a few years, it will enter the so-called prosperous age of the British Empire.
The Empire on which the Sun Never Sets had an overwhelming advantage in national power over all other countries. Although this period of time was not long, it was enough to impress everyone.
He knew all this, so he not only wanted to take back the empire, but also wanted to let his empire ride on this trend and embrace the first industrial revolution as a leader, at least to keep pace with Britain.
And now he knew that this vision and sense of urgency were not unique to him. Although some people could not predict history, they had enough wisdom and vision to see the future trend. He was by no means alone!
