"Next, you must help me perform well. We must make them not mind Edgar's absence, okay?"
Of course, Agnes had no reason to go against her sister's wish. She agreed without thinking. "Of course... I will always stand by your side."
However, although she agreed readily, she was still a little aggrieved in her heart. Obviously this was a matter that the couple shared, and they should work together as a couple. However, Edgar was so drunk that he drank to himself.
How irresponsible is it to delay such an important matter?
Agnes originally had a bad impression of her brother-in-law, but after this incident, her impression became even worse. If she didn't want to embarrass her sister, she would have scolded this guy in person.
But there is no point in thinking about it now. Agnes could only sigh helplessly, then leaned down and pinched her niece Xia Lu's face, "Oh, if men are so incompetent, then at least we three girls
Go and take on everything. Xia Lu, when you grow up, you must live up to your expectations and don’t let your mother down."
"Yeah!" Xia Lu responded to her aunt with a smile on her face, as if she really understood what her aunt said.
"Good boy, so cute!" Seeing Xia Lu looking so cute, Agnes's heart melted, and the original anger in her heart also disappeared.
She lowered her head and kissed her niece's cheek, "It's a good thing your dad doesn't come out, so we can have more fun!"
"If you like children so much, then you should work hard and stop teasing my daughter all day long. Agnes, you are not a child anymore, it's time to think about it..." Alice persuaded her sister again.
"Oh, it's such a wonderful day, please don't spoil it for me!" Agnes immediately covered her ears, "I have always been Xia Lu's old aunt and took care of her when she grew up, isn't it great?"
Seeing her sister's attitude, Alice could only sigh helplessly.
She didn't want her sister to live her whole life alone and become an old aunt. That would be really pitiful and a pity.
However, seeing that her sister was so unsophisticated, she could only slowly persuade her to change her mind in the future.
"It looks like you are in good condition today." She changed the topic, "Why, didn't you look reluctant when you first came here? Why did you adjust so quickly?"
"I am here as a guest. How can I have a guest who is always annoying and bitter? As your sister, I cannot lose my courtesy and embarrass you." Agnes replied with a smile, "Besides, I have already promised him.
You must fulfill your obligations as a guest and make the guest and host happy, but you must not break your promise."
"It looks like you guys were having a good time chatting..." Alice also laughed. "What exactly were you talking about?"
When Edgar was deliberately rambling in front of Teresa to delay time, Alice of course noticed it. As a wife, she calmly cooperated and delayed time together.
She guessed at that time that Edgar was delaying time just so that His Majesty could chat with his sister alone. Now that she had received confirmation from her sister, she was not surprised. On the contrary, she was a little curious.
But she didn't expect that that day was tantamount to Agnes's torture day. The things Agron told her made her worry and suffer, and she couldn't share this pain with her sister at all.
"It's nothing, I just rambled on about something." Agnes forced herself to remain normal, and then answered nonchalantly. "After all, we haven't seen each other for such a long time, and he was a little curious about my recent experiences. It's a pity that I didn't.
There’s nothing to say, isn’t everything the same as before?”
How she wished that everything was really the same as before, but that was already impossible.
Alice could have discovered Agnes's poor acting skills, but at this time she was also full of worries and uneasy, so she had no time to pay so much attention.
The two sisters took Xia Lu with them and went to meet the Aigrons.
At this time, Aigron and Teresa were naturally ready. When they saw three women, two older and one younger, running up to them, they naturally said hello enthusiastically.
"Good morning, Alice, Agnes." Aigron took the initiative to walk in front of them, and then picked up Xia Lu, swinging his arms back and forth like a swing, teasing the cute child, "And
Our cutest Miss Xia Lu!"
"Good morning, Your Majesty." Alice quickly saluted Aiglon. "I am honored that our couple can get the opportunity to travel with you, but I'm sorry, Your Majesty... No one expected that Edgar would suddenly have a high fever.
, now he can only stay in bed and cannot accompany you. Please forgive him for his mistake."
"It doesn't matter." Aigron's smile did not change, but he replied calmly, "I just listened to Andre's report. This is indeed a very regrettable thing, but now that it has happened, what can we do? Fate will always play against us.
It’s a joke, and we just have to learn to live with it.”
"Madam, you don't have to feel guilty or nervous. None of this is your fault, and you don't need to take any responsibility." Teresa also gently comforted Alice, "Since Edgar can't attend, he will be there."
Let him recover well in his room. All we can do to comfort him is to spend this time with the greatest joy."
In the most reasonable manner, the young couple forgave Edgar's absence because this was the result of his pursuit. Although Teresa also doubted the reason for 'sudden illness', she was also happy to see herself
Edgar, who didn't like it, was absent, so he had no intention of pursuing it.
Therefore, there is no need for Alice to speak out all the words she had thought up beforehand.
She should have been secretly happy to have settled the matter so smoothly, but a hint of uneasiness flashed through Alice's heart.
The young couple accepted this 'bad news' so easily, which shows that in their minds, their husbands are of no importance at all, and it does not matter whether they are in front of them or not.
This fact did not surprise her, because she had also seen her husband's performance all along, and there was really nothing worth boasting about.
Therefore, her mind was filled with anxiety. It was obvious that the reason why the couple were so polite to their family was because they relied on their father-in-law, General Treville.
With the father-in-law's ability and prestige, as long as the general is alive, this kind of favor will naturally not fade. However, the father-in-law is already old after all, so he will not have too much time to protect his family all the time.
If the father-in-law dies suddenly, can his husband inherit the favor of the two majesties? Obviously he can't.
That was obviously a huge disaster for Xia Lu.
So...for the sake of my daughter, I can only work harder. No matter how much it costs, I must give my daughter a bright future.
Seeing Xia Lu being teased by His Majesty, Alice secretly made up her mind that if her husband was unreliable, then there was no harm in relying on herself.
At this time, Aigron pretended to have discovered the violin case that Alice was carrying for the first time, and then asked with a very surprised look. "Alice, how did you get this thing?"
At this time, Teresa also noticed and looked at Alice with curiosity. "Madam, can you still play the violin?"
"I only know a little bit about it, and I usually play around with it as a hobby. It's just a rare opportunity today, so I wanted to use it to add some fun to your majesties." Alice quickly answered with a smile, "I hope I
This superficial level will not annoy your two majesties."
"Of course not!" Teresa quickly comforted Alice, "The fact that you have this kind of intention shows that you really want to let us have a good time as a friend. This kind of intention is more important than anything else.
It’s important. Besides, with your talent, I believe your level will never be bad, so I’m looking forward to it now.”
"Then I can only pray that I won't disappoint you." Alice replied with a wry smile.
Then she glanced at Agnes again.
Because the two sisters had secretly discussed it when they came over, Agnes understood it now. She walked up to Aigron who was still teasing Xia Lu.
"Good morning, King of Rome." She saluted Aigron with rare humility.
"Good morning, Agnes." Agnes was a little surprised, but thinking about it, this was probably because Agnes kept her promise to herself.
But what surprised him even more was that Agnes' performance didn't stop there.
"Do you still remember my performance at your banquet in Greece?"
"Of course I remember it!" Aigron nodded enthusiastically, "Your demeanor at that time amazed us all."
A blush suddenly appeared on Agnes's face, and her eyes drifted away, seeming a little embarrassed.
"Then...if you don't mind, when my sister plays on the boat later, can I perform a sword dance for everyone to entertain you?"
Is there such a good thing? Agnes would actually use her heart to please herself? Agron couldn't believe his ears.
But he soon figured out that the situation must be that Alice asked her sister to cheer for her in order to make up for Edgar's "fault".
I really didn't expect that he would do such a trick secretly. He just didn't want to look at Edgar and it would affect his mood, but it actually produced such an unexpected effect.
Aigron suddenly secretly rejoiced that he was too "wise".
He nodded immediately and happily accepted the unexpected proposal, "Is it true? That's great, I couldn't ask for it. I originally wanted to propose this to you, but I didn't dare because I was afraid that you would think I was forcing you to perform.
Tell me, since you are willing to take the initiative to propose, that would be great! I happily look forward to your performance."
Seeing Aiglon's overjoyed look, Teresa couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in her heart.
She immediately recalled that night and her subtle mood when watching Agnes's gorgeous performance.
It would definitely be a terrible experience to watch the past happen again, with her husband's admiration and admiration focusing on her alone.
But what could she do to stop it at this time? If she tried to stop it, she would only make herself a laughing stock, and she had no face to do so.
There is only one way to fight head-on.
In an instant, she also made up her mind.
Miss Agnes is indeed radiant, but I am not without merit. I also have my pride, right?
"Your Highness?" So, she broke the silence and took the initiative to speak to Aiglon, "It's rare that everyone is so interested today, so I'll join in the fun."
"Teresa, what do you mean?" Aigron asked doubtfully.
"Mr. Edgar, as our painter, is indeed good enough. His absence today is very regrettable for us, but we cannot stop commemorating this happy gathering for this reason, so let me reluctantly take on this
It’s our responsibility to record our happy gatherings with a paintbrush!”
After a pause, she added, "In addition, when Mrs. Alice plays, I can also sing two songs to accompany everyone."
Aigron didn't expect that surprises came one after another, which made him a little overwhelmed.
What was originally a casual move, he inadvertently created an environment where the three of them were "involved" in each other. First, Alice wanted to make up for her mistakes, then she dragged her sister along to please her, and then she felt a little jealous of Agnes.
Not to be outdone, Teresa wanted to perform at the same time to show that she was not inferior to anyone.
It is conceivable that no matter what the purpose is, they will work extremely hard out of their inherent self-esteem and are not willing to make themselves look overshadowed. They are not even trying to please anyone.
And who is the biggest beneficiary of this "involution"? Of course it is...him.
I am so wise! Hahahahaha!
Aiglon laughed wildly in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face just to maintain his grace. He lowered his head to prevent his ecstatic eyes from being exposed to others.
Then, he reached out and touched Xia Lu's smooth little face.
"Little guy, you are really the luckiest child! At this age, you are lucky enough to experience such a delightful performance. In the next century, no one may be as lucky as you!"
Under his teasing, Xia Lu stared at the young man with watery blue eyes, and then giggled.
"Your Majesty!" She said this noble word in a sweet voice to the only male present, "I want a hug..."
Alice, is this what you taught me? You are really good at it...Aiglon admired in his heart.
Such a cute child standing in front of him seemed to melt his heart.
He couldn't help but pick up Xia Lu and put her in his arms. Then he looked around at the women with different expressions but all seemed confident. This scene made him extremely high-spirited.
Power is indeed such an intoxicating thing... As long as you have it, everyone will involuntarily revolve around it. No matter how innocent a person is, as long as they want something, they will not be able to do it alone.
, and had to bow to the light of the scepter...
Therefore, you must hold it firmly and never stop for a moment until death.
"Look...look! What a smart and cute child." He hugged Xia Lu tightly, like holding a scepter, "Then I will be responsible for holding her and being your audience, ladies.
, I would like to remember my luck today forever!"
