Agnes shouted angrily, but no matter what, she actually compromised and agreed to the young man's unreasonable request.
This kind of compromise would have been unimaginable if the series of shocks she suffered today had not softened her original stance.
But once the position is broken, once the concession is made, it is difficult to "stop there". Amidst the entanglement of grudges, can the girl stick to her true heart and not be swallowed up by the whirlpool of the world?
There is no doubt that she wants to hold on and live up to her family and her conscience, but the people around her are like evil banshees, making seductive calls from time to time, desperately trying to drag her into the whirlpool. In this
In this turbulent era, how many people can remain alone?
"Agnes, don't be angry, you promised me to be my guest happily." Agron maintained his smile and comforted the other party gently, "Besides, I don't like to act like a benefactor, and I don't like to be condescending to you.
, all I ask is this one thing, don’t act like you feel aggrieved, otherwise I will feel distressed."
Agnes did not curse at his teasing as before, she just glared at him and disdained to argue with him again.
Agron felt that after tossing Agnes to such an extent today, it was time for her to relax. He estimated the time in his mind and found that Teresa and Alice would be back soon, so he decided to arrive first.
So far.
"Agnes, you have been traveling all the way and you must be tired by now talking to me, right? How about I ask Chanel to take you to rest?"
Agnes nodded gently and felt relieved.
Agron asked Agnes to wait a moment, then walked out of the room and found Chanel in his bedroom.
Chanel had already heard about the arrival of the Edgars and Agnes, so she probably guessed Agron's intention of looking for her.
"Your Majesty, do you have any orders?"
"Chanel, please take Miss Agnes to have a rest." Aiglon ordered. "Has the room been tidied up?"
"It was already packed up just now." Chanel replied with a smile, "Do you have anything else to explain?"
Aigron hesitated for a moment, then added an order, "If you have time, spend more time with Agnes. Alice and his wife are always together, and Teresa and I are also together, but she is alone here."
, it should be better if you help me relieve my boredom..."
"I understand, Your Majesty." Chanel nodded immediately.
After staying with Agron for so long, Chanel can understand the implication often without the need for Agron to explain his words. Chanel not only wants to accompany Agnes to help her relieve her boredom, but also pays attention to Miss Agnes' every move.
Move so that you can report it to your master at any time.
It is enough for the master and the servant to understand these things tacitly.
Chanel also knew that although His Majesty had a very unpleasant quarrel with Miss Agnes when he was in Greece, he had never forgotten her in his heart. Now that Miss Agnes has come here on her own, it would be strange that he doesn't want to do something.
Since it is the master's wish, Chanel can only abide by it.
However, it is of course impossible to say that there is not a little bit of turmoil in my heart.
"What's the matter, Chanel? Do you have any other opinions?" Seeing Chanel's uncertain expression, Aigron asked curiously.
"Your Majesty, it is certainly a good thing that Miss Agnes can be together, and I am very happy, but aren't you afraid? Everything is under the eyes of Her Royal Highness the Princess. Do you expect that all this can be hidden from her?" After hesitating for a moment,
Chanel asked softly.
"Hahahaha..." What answered her was the young man's laughter.
"Why are you laughing...?" Chanel was a little confused.
"Of course I'm not afraid. How many people in this world can scare me? Of course, I don't want to over-stimulate her, so I have to pay attention to the methods, and this depends on you." Aigron nodded to Chanel,
"With your help, I believe we won't make it too ugly."
"You may think too highly of me, but I don't have the skills to sway Her Royal Highness and the Duchess around?" Chanel replied dryly, "Besides, every time you owe a romantic debt, I'm there.
When I clean up your accounts, your debts will naturally be considered my share. As your servant, I never dare to expect that my hands will be clean. I just hope that I will not be resented in the end."
Chanel's words sounded self-pitying, but Egron could hear the sarcasm in them.
He reached out his hand and pinched Chanel's face, "Why did you lose your temper suddenly?"
"You know why!" Chanel closed her eyes, but she still didn't push the hand away after all. "You always call on me, but you don't want to wind up the clockwork. Even the machine will be worn out, right?"
"I understand..." Aiglon nodded quickly, "Okay, Chanel, I will remember to make it up to you..."
At this time, he finally understood that Chanel was jealous because of Agnes. After all, when he was getting along with her, he always paid attention to avoiding Teresa's sight and maintaining the tacit respect between everyone. But now he said to her face that it was because of Agnes.
It doesn't matter even if Theresa is unhappy. Comparing the two, of course Chanel feels that the 'treatment' is unfair.
Seeing her master's embarrassed look, Chanel finally felt a little better. The constant companionship and service made her unable to be angry with the young man, so she just sighed, "Forget it, Your Majesty has your own considerations.
I just need to bow my head and obey your orders. No matter how you treat me, it will not affect my loyalty and admiration for you. I am just too... too greedy. I have been illuminated by your light, but I still want more.
More, hey, maybe this is because I don’t know how to be content, right?”
After sighing with emotion, she looked at Aigron secretly, "Your Majesty, will there be more in the future? How many more will there be?"
"Huh?" Aigron didn't react for a moment.
Then he understood what Chanel meant.
To be honest, this question is not easy to answer.
Like the previous kings, like the King Ludwig he saw, when can their desires be satisfied? When did they know when enough is enough? It seems like they never did.
"My eyes are very picky." After hesitating for a moment, Aigron replied, "So there won't be many."
"Really?" Chanel blinked, still looking a little doubtful, but she curled her lips again. "But even so, your friendship boat is still a bit crowded. I'm afraid that if you are not careful, you may...
There is a danger of overturning... Don't you realize it, Your Majesty? Just because you have high vision, you have chosen unusual women. Although they have different personalities, they are not easy to bully. Even if they love each other,
You will be tolerant, but how can you really be willing to tolerate other women?"
This is a good question.
How can Teresa, Agnes, and Sophie stay together peacefully, live in harmony with each other, love each other as sisters, and accompany their common lover without regrets?
The question itself seemed like a joke. If Aigron could do it, he wouldn't play so many tricks, and he didn't believe anyone could do it.
Because he couldn't do it and was unwilling to give up, he could only avoid the question, "Chanel, you really know how to boast."
"Your Majesty, I am not boasting, because I am different. I was a gift given to you by fate, not chosen by you. If it weren't for the fact that I came to you by mistake and helped you, then I would be nothing.
I'm just an ordinary maid in the palace, you won't even look at me twice." Chanel retorted to him seriously, "Because I know this, I won't expect too much. I'm glad that fate has dealt with me.
I cherish all of this and am willing to do my best to protect it. But Your Majesty, you must cherish it too! I know that you are not dedicated and cannot be dedicated, and you cannot let go of the people you love, but even if
You must not forget the principle of enough is enough. All people’s patience and love for you will not be infinite like mine. I don’t know what will happen in the future, but I think I need to remind you. I admit that I have some
I'm jealous, but I hope you won't think that all my heartfelt words are purely out of jealousy... As long as you are happy, I am willing to do anything and can endure anything!"
After she finished speaking, without waiting for Aigron's reply, she hugged the young man tightly and kissed him on the face desperately.
Then, she left quickly, leaving Aigron alone in a daze, leaving only a little scent residue.
Aiglon quietly recalled Chanel's advice.
Enough is Enough?
Maybe I am indeed a little too proud?
Although Teresa was willing to pretend to turn a blind eye for her own sake, she was not stupid. Of course, she could guess what the intentions of these tricks were, but she just didn't want to say more out of dignity.
Therefore, it is better to be careful in front of Teresa.
Of course, even so, he never thought about the option of stepping back from the brink and giving up everything he had done before. It was never in his mind.

After leaving Aigron, Chanel quickly came to Miss Agnes.
"Miss Agnes, I'm so glad to finally see you again!" As soon as they met, she saluted solemnly.
Although she had lost her temper in front of her master just now, Chanel's motive was just because she was unwilling to be left out and was worried about causing trouble and angering Teresa. She had no objection to Chanel. On the contrary, she had an open-minded personality.
I have a very good impression of Agnes, and of course I will be happy to see her again after such a long separation.
"Long time no see, Chanel." Agnes also greeted her with a smile.
"I didn't expect that you would actually come to visit. This is great! Don't worry, I will do my best to help you have a pleasant time here." After saying that, she stepped aside and got out of the way, "Please follow
Let me come, the room is ready for you."
So, Chanel took Agnes to the room prepared for her, and the luggage she had brought before had already been placed here.
Agnes also came here two years ago, and the memory is still fresh in her mind. Comparing the past memories with the present, she found that the facilities are indeed much more comfortable, and she can still see the beautiful scenery of early spring from the window. It is a pity that she now
But I no longer feel like appreciating the beautiful scenery around me.
"Miss Agnes, what's on your mind?" Chanel asked thoughtfully, as if sensing her absent-minded state.
"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired." Agnes shook her head.
Although she said this, the troubles in her heart still lingered, whether it was her father or her master, it was enough to make her worried and unable to extricate herself.
But what's the point of telling Chanel about these things? She doesn't like to do misfortune to gain sympathy from others.
"Miss Agnes, as a maid, I may not be able to help you. At most, I can only give you a few words of encouragement... However, I advise you to think of the bright side in everything. No matter how big the dilemma is, there will always be a solution.
The seeds of hope exist, and as long as you persevere, you will eventually be able to let the seeds germinate and get out of the predicament.”
Chanel looked at Agnes tenderly, and then continued softly, "As a guest, you should be the person I take care of on behalf of the host, but apart from that, from my personal point of view, you are also someone I admire very much.
Dear people, I have witnessed your style with my own eyes. It is beyond my reach. I can only be filled with envy and respect... So I firmly believe that you are different from me. People like you will never be affected by fate.
Knocked down, even if you are occasionally stuck, the light hidden deep in your heart will eventually burst out, making everyone dazzled and amazed."
Agnes was surprised and moved at the same time. She was almost moved to tears when she heard this kind of encouragement at this desperate time.
"Oh, I didn't expect you to be able to recite poetry!" She couldn't help but sigh.
"Isn't it strange? I have stayed with a poet for so long... Even if a mouse stays next to him for so long, he will swallow a lot of paper and ink, right? I think I don't have enough literary talent!
"Chanel replied with a smile.
"That's probably one of his few contributions to the world!" Agnes was amused, and then laughed. "Thank you, Chanel, I'm much better. Sure enough... I'm still better in a place like this.
Only when you have friends will you be happy!"
After she finished speaking, she hugged Chanel enthusiastically.
Friend... While hugging, Chanel chewed the word in her heart.
There is no doubt that it is an honor for her to be recognized as a friend by Agnes, but what she has done is still not comparable to her friends.
She wants to gain Agnes' trust and then turn this trust into closeness to His Majesty.
No matter how much she admires Agnes, His Majesty's orders are still her highest priority.
"Miss Agnes, since you call me your friend, I hope you and His Majesty can put aside the previous grudges and get along well, okay?" she asked softly.
"Okay, I've let it go. Don't worry, I will get along well with him and won't embarrass anyone." Agnes replied.
But your presence has already embarrassed Her Majesty Theresa... Chanel whispered in her heart.
Both Her Majesty Theresa and Miss Agnes are worthy of respect in her opinion. Why did it all come to this point? Of course she knows who should be responsible, and it is the person she never wants to accuse.
She hopes that person can get what he wants more than anyone else.
Somehow, she felt that she was burdened with an obligation to use her identity, which was accepted and recognized by everyone, to prevent all quarrels from turning into disasters. Even if this might be a heavy task that her weak shoulders could not bear, she would still try.
Take responsibility.
Maybe it's difficult, maybe it's immoral, but that's the principle she must practice.
Because, isn’t it the maid’s responsibility to solve the master’s problems?
