Agnes' answer made Agron a little disappointed. She knew that she had been seriously injured because of Bianca, but she still chose to protect her master after all.
But this is normal. Bianca is the teacher she has been with for more than ten years and the benefactor of the whole family. This status is simply not comparable to her now.
But even if he knew, he was still unhappy.
But he is not in a hurry. Everything is under his control now. He can take his time and figure it out. One day, he will be more important in Agnes's mind.
Just now, he deliberately tested Agnes with his injuries, and then her anxious expression, and even her immediate words of wanting to avenge herself, proved that he was still an extraordinary existence in her mind.
This has given Aigron enough confidence.
"Okay, I'll trouble you, Agnes." Aiglon nodded, "I lived in seclusion in the palace until two years ago and didn't know much about swordsmen from all over the world, and you follow your master to challenge
I have met a lot of people, so you must know more than me, so I am telling you about this, hoping to get your help."
Then, he seemed to suddenly think of something, "By the way, I remember you said before that your master is also a woman? How old is she? What does she look like?"
Just as Aigron expected, Agnes reacted very fiercely, "What do you mean by asking this? Are you doubting my master? My master is unconcerned and usually wanders around outside. How could he run away?"
Come to assassinate you?"
Agnes, you are really not good at lying...Such harsh words will only make you look guilty. Agron was secretly sarcastic in his heart.
But on the surface, he still looked innocent, "Agnes, don't be angry, I just asked casually. I didn't doubt that your master wanted to come. There has never been any conflict of interest between us in the past, and neither has she."
Why do you come here to kill me? Unless I heard your complaint and want to avenge you..."
"What, you still suspect that you are in love with me?" Agnes glared at Agron again, "My sword is never used by others. If I really want to kill you, I will do it myself. Why would I look for someone else?"
After she finished speaking, she stretched out her index finger in a demonstrative manner and simulated a sharp sword stroke in the void, "Hurry up and put your clothes back on! It's really inappropriate!"
Although she wanted to show a fierce look, Aiglon felt like a cat showing its teeth and claws at this moment. There was little danger, but it was full of fun.
"Don't be angry, I was just joking. Maybe you will draw your sword against me, but I don't believe you will play any tricks." Aigron couldn't help laughing, but in order not to further irritate her, he still didn't
He hurriedly put on his clothes again, "But to be honest, I am really curious about your master. After all, it must be amazing to be able to teach such a powerful apprentice like you. It would be great if I have the opportunity to meet or ask for advice in the future.
Already."
"My teacher doesn't admire the powerful. Otherwise, she would have stayed in Paris with our family to enjoy life, so she wouldn't come to support you." Agnes shook her head and rejected the idea, "Besides, you are
You are already a pretender to the throne. So many people are counting on you to change their destiny and become a successful person. How can you be allowed to fight bravely and risk your own life? Everyone still remembers that Henry II was stabbed in a contest.
He'll die if his head is pierced!"
"Agnes, these words are true, but they are more like what Theresa or your sister said. They would be so cautious, and you would happily encourage me to practice my skills." Agron shrugged.
She shrugged, "Why, after returning to Paris for more than half a year, Miss Agnes finally remembered that she should be a dignified young lady?"
This was just an ordinary joke, but it seemed to arouse many feelings in Agnes. For a moment, she didn't even refute because Agron just hit the pain point in her heart.
She is no longer the carefree girl. As she grows older, she will inevitably have to step out of the shelter of her parents and face the cruel and ruthless side of the world. However, these past few months have been turbulent.
Whether it was herself or her family, troubles came one after another, so that Agnes, who had always been open-minded and optimistic, felt upset at this time.
It is precisely because the situation is beyond our control that we feel at a loss and at a loss.
When Agron asked this question, Agnes suddenly woke up.
Yes, how could I do this? They asked themselves.
Regardless of the young man's teasing, what he said was very accurate. If it were his past self, he would never have said such a thing.
"People will always grow up, and they won't always stay in the same place, right?" After hesitating for a moment, she answered slightly sadly, "If I were always so childish, wouldn't it be a joke to everyone?"
"No, Agnes, it's not like this. It's not you, and you can't learn to be like this." Agron shook his head suddenly, interrupting Agnes, "Yes, people will grow, but people don't
They all don’t look the same, otherwise this world would be so boring! Do you know why I admire you so much? It’s not just because of your superb swordsmanship, but the kind of arrogance and confidence you gain from your swordsmanship, that kind of infection
Strength! Those things are the most attractive and shining thing about you. There are enough elegant and dignified ladies in the world, but you are unique! If you become like them, not only will you be
Just for your personal pearl to fall into dust, it is simply a great loss to this world."
These words touched Agnes' heartstrings.
When she was scolded by the Wang family and turned away, this was the first time someone stood up to her face and said, "You did the right thing, you should be like this." The belated encouragement actually came from here.
If an ordinary person said this, it might not be convincing, but Agnes knew that no matter how bad his character was, the young man in front of her was after all an heir to the throne and the most outstanding person of her generation.
He personally affirmed it, which was a great recognition.
Yes, I am not wrong... Maybe I can't do everything well, and maybe I can't get everyone's approval, but I am not wrong... I have lived proudly until now, and I should continue to live proudly.
As if she had received a revelation, Agnes suddenly felt a new courage surge in her heart.
I was recognized.
However, she did not show that joy, but glared at Aigron angrily, "Of course you can say such beautiful words, you live in a world where stars are worshiping you, and everyone around you flatters you.
To please you, even my sister has to kowtow to you. Of course you will think that a person can be indulgent and do as much as he wants, but how many people have the luxury like you? If you can't empathize with others
, then at least you should show due respect and not make sarcastic remarks to others!"
"Then may I ask, did I have all this from the beginning?" Aigron asked coldly, "When I was in prison, who of everyone around me, including your sister, ran up to me?
Are you groveling and worshiping me as a god?"
Agnes was immediately speechless. Of course she knew what this young man had experienced, or rather, it was already a legend.
"You know what I've been through, and I don't need to complain or show off to you." Seeing that Agnes's momentum weakened, Agron continued, "In the most painful situation, I didn't despair, let alone
Admitting defeat, I told myself over and over again that the malice the world has poured out on me will not overwhelm me. The greatest joy in my life is to face the bad luck that has been imposed on me and defeat them! I have not fully achieved this now.
, but I have come to this road, and I have fought for all this by myself. Undoubtedly, people around me have given me more or less help, but if it were not for me not admitting defeat, then I would have nothing.
There will be!
In my opinion, the world is so simple. If you kneel down to fate, you will have nothing. If you stick to your own path, you may have nothing in the end, so why not give it a try? Could it be possible to lose more miserably?
?"
While talking, Aigron took advantage of the situation and approached Agnes. Unknowingly, the two of them were directly face to face.
If he had done this from the beginning, Agnes would definitely not be able to bear it and would take action. But now, in the subtle atmosphere, Agnes had even forgotten this and was completely focused on the young man's momentum and words.
"You said I don't know how to empathize with others. You are right. It is indeed difficult for me to empathize. But why should I empathize with everyone's thoughts and understand their difficulties? I have fought, so I won.
, if others do the same, I will respect them, if they don't, then all their whines are just the whines of cowards, worthless and meaningless... So Agnes, tell me you are willing to be theirs
Are you a member? Or do you want to find a way to become a winner? As long as you win, all your uniqueness will be regarded as your merits that will last forever. Only mediocre people will be criticized. This has been the case since ancient times, no
?"
Agron looked at Agnes with aggressive eyes, and Agnes subconsciously took a step back.
"What can't be won? You think about this all day long, you are really an arrogant man." Agnes looked away to avoid facing his stunning light again. "We just said "Master"
There’s no need to go so far into this matter!”
"Then, let's talk about something more realistic." Agron smiled, and the aggressiveness that was overflowing from his body just now also subsided a lot, "Agnes, have you encountered any problems recently?
Or did your family encounter some difficulty?"
"How do you know?" Agnes asked.
Of course I know, because it was my men who did it... Of course Aigron would not say this.
"You are not a person who is good at hiding things. From your expression and behavior after you arrived, I felt that you were worried." Aigron replied unhurriedly, "And from the conversation between the two of us just now, I am even more sure.
Yes, you are definitely in big trouble, tell me, what happened?"
He was so pretentious, naturally to create an impression in Agnes's mind that 'everything is under my control', but even without Edgar's report, he could still get a rough idea. After all, Agnes did not
What city?
Why should I tell you?
Seeing the proud look on the young man's face, Agnes originally wanted to choke him, but when the words came to her lips, she held back.
After all, this girl is indeed growing up, and she clearly knows that her own face is definitely not as important as her family.
At present, the family is experiencing a disaster. Not only should we ask this young man for help, but at least we should not make enemies. If he really gets angry and angry, it will only make the family worse.
So Agnes also controlled her emotions, and then answered calmly to the young man, "It's nothing, it's just something happened at home recently. My father can control the situation, I'm just a little worried."
Can he control the situation? Don't worry, I will let Aigron, who absolutely cannot control the situation, laugh secretly in his heart.
But on the surface, he also looked relieved.
"Really? That's good... I can actually guess a little bit. Isn't there some turmoil in the financial sector in Paris recently? My subordinates have written reports to me. Your father should also have suffered some losses because of this. Yes.
Bar?"
Agnes nodded helplessly, but still added unwillingly, "Father told me it's okay, he will definitely be able to get through the difficulty."
"I hope so too." Aiglon nodded with concern, "According to the report I received recently, Tanglar Bank collapsed. The banker fled with the money before the bank run and went bankrupt, taking away all that was left of the bank.
Capital……"
"What?!" Agnes exclaimed in shock.
Without her father's explanation, she would definitely not have cared about the name at all, but at this moment, hearing the news was like a thunderbolt to her.
"How could this happen...?" Agnes was suddenly confused and anxious, not knowing what to do. She knew very well that her father had invested a large amount of money in Tanglar Bank. If the banker really ran away,
That means losing everything, and this will be an unbearable loss for the family.
For a moment, she hoped that the young man was deliberately deceiving her, but she also knew rationally that he would not lie about something that would be exposed immediately.
So...what to do?
For a moment, she even thought about leaving here immediately, going to various places to follow the traces of bankers and recover the lost money for her family.
Aiglon looked at Agnes with pity, who seemed to be in a state of confusion at this time. He had to say that he did have to bear the main responsibility for her falling into this situation.
Well, so I'll take the responsibility.
"It seems that the problem is not small, Agnes. But don't worry, all troubles will eventually be solved." He extended his hand to Agnes gracefully and gently, "Please sit down first, we
