"Miss Agnes, have you really agreed to continue dancing with my husband?"
Teresa asked Agnes in a calm tone.
It was obvious to all three people that she was definitely not asking calmly.
Is this threatening me? Agnes asked in her mind.
As if a spell had been activated, in an instant, the pride that had been suppressed by Aiglon returned to her heart. The girl's eyes were no longer chaotic and confused as before, but a little sharper.
In her opinion, she did not make any mistakes. Instead, she was seeking perfection for her family. As a result, she sacrificed so much, but was insulted in front of Princess Teresa regardless of etiquette.
The girl's sensitive heart beat rapidly because of this stinging pain.
She was a little in awe of Aiglon, but she had never been in awe of Teresa, let alone wanted to please this "Her Majesty the Queen."
There is no doubt that she is willing to give Teresa the respect she deserves, but this does not mean that she is willing to let herself be treated as her servant by Her Highness the Princess - she owes Aigron a debt, but she does not owe her anything.
Theresa's.
Moreover, deep down in her heart, she still has a half-bright resentment that even she herself is not aware of - you have already got everything, why are you still so aggressive? Isn't it okay to just dance?
"Yes, Your Highness, I just agreed, so now we are preparing to go there." It was driven by pride and resentment that Agnes, who was watched by Teresa, regained her composure, and then answered calmly.
she.
This answer was so unexpected that Teresa was stunned. Even Agron didn't react. He didn't expect that Agnes, who was so coy just now, would actually respond to Teresa so firmly.
Sha.
Logically speaking, he should be happy, but for a moment he hesitated because he was worried that Agnes's decisive attitude would trigger further conflicts - Teresa was obviously angry today, and now Agnes refused to give an inch.
Maybe it will make the situation worse.
Just like that, the three people suddenly fell into a wordless silence, and the people nearby had also noticed the situation here (it would be strange if they didn't notice that the two His Majesties were present), and they all cast their eyes in astonishment.
His Majesty and Agnes are standing on one side, and Princess Theresa is standing opposite them - even if they don't hear what they are saying, this picture can already arouse their rich imagination, and this association may not be related to reality.
What a difference.
Aigron knew that he could not delay the matter any longer. If it were delayed any longer, the three of them might really become the subject of conversation or even the laughing stock.
Besides, today's incident was all caused by him. He miscalculated Teresa's reaction and led to this situation, so he should be the one to suppress the incident and bear all the responsibilities.
How should it be solved?
It is definitely not possible to leave Agnes behind. If you do that, you will go back on your word, which will make you appear to be evil, and you will never be able to win Agnes's favor again in the future.
"Thank you, Agnes." After making up his mind, Agron whispered to Agnes, "Wait for me here for a while, I will be back soon, and we will dance to the next song."
Then, he walked to Theresa's side.
At this time, Teresa also recovered from her surprise. She looked at Agnes with a complicated expression, and then spoke. "Then it seems that I have disturbed your enjoyment? Miss Agnes, I originally thought
As an expert, you are not interested in these worldly entertainments at all, but you didn’t expect that you also have things in common with ordinary girls like us."
"Teresa, let's talk." Before Agnes could answer, Agron had already walked up to Theresa, then whispered into her ear.
"Why do you do this? It embarrasses everyone."
"Your Highness, I should be the one to ask you this question - why did you do this?" Teresa did not flinch and asked Agron, "You have tried so hard to hide so many things from me, I think you also
Quite tiring.”
Aigron was slightly embarrassed.
In any case, he was at fault, and after the two of them had been together for so long, he knew that Theresa was completely able to see through his sweet words, so telling some obvious lies would not only fail to deceive her, but would make her even more angry.
"This is a trivial matter to begin with. I was afraid that you would be angry, so I didn't say anything." Aigron sighed, "And judging from the results, my worries were not wrong."
"So, you are accusing me of making trouble out of nothing?" Teresa was unhappy when she heard this. "Your Highness, you and I have been sleeping in the same bed for so long, do you really think that I am so angry because of such a trivial matter?
?Haven't I been trying to make you happy? What I'm angry about is not who you danced with, but that you kept hiding it from me until the last moment, watching Miss Agnes look new and watching you dance and I didn't know this
Everything - I don’t need to explain so much, you must know what I think!”
Alas, there is nothing to say.
Eggron indeed knew what Teresa meant.
But he just wasn't that upright, so he couldn't be completely honest with Teresa.
In his original expectation, Teresa would definitely get angry, but he didn't expect that she would change her usual reserve and explode it directly at the dance in advance - the reason for such unusual behavior between the two of them is probably
Maybe it's because he occupies too important a position in her heart.
It was even heavier than she thought, so she ignored her dignity as a princess and threw away her restraint and threw a fit on the spot.
For a moment, he regretted that he had gone too far, but now that he was riding a tiger, he could only go to the end no matter what - in terms of the balance of gains and losses, since Theresa was already angry, no matter what the loss,
It has already been done; then if I give in completely in order to make her happy, I will seriously hurt Agnes and suffer double losses.
Then the only choice is to continue.
"Teresa, I think I should explain to you why Miss Agnes has a completely new look tonight -" Agron hesitated for a moment and was about to speak.
"Chanel has already told me her reasons, so I don't want to blame her for anything. She has done a good job. If I were in her position, I would do the same." Teresa interrupted Agron.
, "But - if Miss Agnes just intends to repay the favor, then I have already given the steps just now. She can just walk down by herself. Why doesn't she go?"
Misunderstood, you really misunderstood... On Teresa's side, starting from Greece, she always thought that Agnes and Agron had an affair, and she struggled with it until it was exploded today. She didn't.
When I thought about it, everything was just His Highness's fault.
But naturally Aiglon would not expose this misunderstanding for her.
"That's because you are being too aggressive, my dear." Aigron shook his head, "Agnes is someone who takes the easy way but not the hard one. You think it's giving you a step, but she thinks she's being looked down upon by you.
That’s why there is a rebellious mentality.”
Aigron's explanation was reasonable, so Teresa paused for a moment.
"Is she the one who is being looked down upon, or is it me?" Then Teresa frowned, "It's me who's been kept hidden; it's me who's watching you dance together, but in the end I still need to be considerate of you.
Every thought, do I owe her anything? In this situation, she owes us money, right? I don’t ask her to treat me like a benefactor, but why is she so arrogant to me?
?”
"But what about dancing?" Aiglon sighed, "As a social etiquette, I will always dance with others."
"No...it's completely different. She only has those lights...!" Teresa glared at Agron, "I remember every moment we spent at that time, at the ball at Schönbrunn Palace, between the Emperor and
We danced together under the gaze of our father, and the stars in the sky and the earth seemed to be spinning for us. I felt that there seemed to be light in your and my eyes... That was the most vivid moment of my life. But when I looked at you just now, I seemed to be
When I saw those lights, I saw her eyes, which looked exactly like me back then... My most precious memory has been tarnished! How could I bear it?"
Perhaps because she had drunk some wine, Teresa was much more impulsive than usual. Her eye circles suddenly became red as she spoke, and she seemed almost about to cry.
Eggron didn't know exactly what Teresa was referring to, but he vaguely seemed to understand.
Is this romantic or stubborn? He couldn't tell, but he could only feel ashamed.
Because Aiglon and Sophie have danced together countless times before (and played many tricks). If it was said to be 'light' just now, then they could be called light bulbs at the beginning...
Of course, Aigron didn't dare to say it.
"Okay, Teresa, I understand. So what do you think I should do?" He sighed again.
"What I want is very simple, just do what I just said. Let's go dance, I want to hold you, and relive that moment that made my head spin..." Teresa replied stubbornly,
"Your Highness, I know this is very rude to Miss Agnes, but as your wife, I have the right to ask for compensation for being concealed by you, so I ask you to do as I say, just this time tonight."
Aigron had a headache. It was obvious that Teresa was so angry that she was being unreasonable, but the reason for her anger was something that Aigron couldn't argue with. After all, was she not doing it for herself?
Alas, I am really nothing. Aigron felt this fact again.
But now that self-pity can't solve the problem, Aigron thought hard and wanted to find a solution.
Now that Teresa refuses to give in, it stands to reason that it would be okay for her to give in, but Agnes's statement puts the two people directly in opposition. The matter is no longer about whether to dance or not, but about the dignity of the two people.
Well, especially a proud and arrogant person like Agnes, she would definitely be driven crazy with anger.
Damn it, so this is a knot that I have created for myself? It’s really a joy that brings sorrow...
After much deliberation, he could only persuade Theresa to stop making trouble and wait with her later - after all, getting along with Theresa day and night would bring many opportunities to heal, and if Agnes was injured this time
Heart, I'm afraid it will be even harder to get close to in the future.
Just when he was about to speak, a soft call suddenly came from beside him.
"His Majesty……"
Aigron and Teresa looked over subconsciously and found that it was Alice who was approaching.
Originally, the two of them were getting angry, and if someone came over without looking at them, they would definitely be angry. However, Alice was different. She gained the favor of both the couple at the same time, so even at this moment, no one was angry with her.
.
"Madam, what's the matter with you?" Aigron asked gently and quickly.
"Your Majesty, I didn't disturb your conversation, did I?" Alice apologized to the two people and continued to approach them.
"No, we are just discussing the next dance." Aigron replied with a wry smile.
"Well...actually, that's why I came here." Alice smiled sheepishly, "Your Majesty, with all due respect, I was playing the piano just now to entertain everyone, so I regretfully missed dancing with you.
opportunity, and now we are both free, so I dare... I dare to ask you to dance with me, can you grant me this honor?"
What?
Hearing this request suddenly, Aigron couldn't understand the situation.
But he soon understood - Alice must have just learned about the stalemate between her sister and Princess Teresa, so she ran over to smooth things over for the three of them.
Great... As expected of you, Mrs. Alice.
As if a door had been opened a crack in a dark room, Aigron suddenly saw the dawn of a solution to this troublesome situation.
This may indeed be the best solution to the current situation - Theresa will not be jealous of Alice and be angry with her; Agnes will not feel that her sister has compromised her dignity.
Aigron felt a sense of relief.
"Ah, madam, what are you talking about? It's obviously an honor for me... I will be very happy if I can dance with you."
Then, Aigron looked at Theresa and said, "Teresa, can you please wait for us for a moment? I guess you don't mind Mrs. Alice taking up my time - how about we dance together next?"
"
Teresa hesitated for a moment, then looked at Alice again, and Alice looked back at Theresa with a smile. This gentle attitude also made the anger accumulated in Theresa's heart disappear quietly.
Most of it.
Now that I have reached this point, there is no need for me to insist on it anymore.
So, she nodded and said to Aigron, "Okay, Your Highness, I'll go take a rest first and wait for you."
Aiglon breathed a sigh of relief, finally freed from this sudden predicament.
Then, he looked at Alice again.
Under the illumination of the fire, the lady's smile, her graceful figure, and her smooth and dazzling blond hair were all so pleasing to the eye and heart-warming.
Alas, it seems that a wife is still considerate, not as strong as a girl... He sighed.
