"Yes, Your Highness. As long as you are here, everything is hopeful..."
Chanel's cry sounded particularly sad at this moment.
She knew that what her master said was correct, so she felt even more painful about her powerlessness at the moment. Because of her pain, she had to put her hope in Aiglon, convinced that he would avenge her.
It is indeed an honor to be entrusted with such huge hopes, but it is also a burden.
Aigron knew that he was not just the one who had Chanel's hopes placed on him, but there were many others who were hoping that he could lead them to counterattack.
Their hatred may not be as deep as Chanel's, but their fanaticism for power and resentment for losing everything will still drive them to follow them.
As long as you can get the opportunity, you will definitely be able to arouse this kind of fanaticism and resentment.
He glanced at Chanel again. At this time, her eyes were closed tightly, with tears still remaining in the corners of her eyes. Her grief was almost overflowing, and it was difficult not to feel sympathy.
"Chanel, you should go to bed early tonight." He gave the order gently. "Excessive emotional fluctuations can easily cause physical fatigue, so it is better to take a rest."
Unexpectedly, Chanel suddenly opened her eyes, and then stubbornly shook her head, "No, Your Highness, you haven't rested yet, how can I slack off? I want to continue to serve you."
Seeing her eyes red and swollen, with rainy eyes, Aigron shook his head, "I don't have anything you need to do now."
"Your Highness, I thank you for taking care of me..." Chanel smiled bitterly, "But how can I sleep at this moment? I would rather find something to distract myself and numb my nerves.
It will make me feel a lot better.”
"Okay..." Since Chanel was so insistent, Agron had no choice but to agree, "Then you can make me a cup of coffee and help me record the dictation later - the theater said that my script has already been rehearsed, and I did.
Need to step up."
"Are we ready to rehearse?" Chanel suddenly became energetic, "That's great..."
"You said last time that you wanted to perform on stage as an actor, even just to join in the fun." Aigron also smiled, "I heard from the theater that they won't arrange any famous actors to perform for me this time.
——So, I think it’s easy for me to help you realize your wish. You can prepare for it in advance. It’s best to participate in rehearsals early. After all, going on stage is not as easy as imagined, even if it’s just an inconspicuous role.
Character, in the face of so many people in the audience, inexperienced people may still feel guilty."
"I just made my wish casually, thank you for remembering it." Chanel smiled happily, "Don't worry, I will try my best to adapt. I will never allow myself to tarnish His Highness's creation..."
"Don't be so serious. I don't have any requirements for you. Just treat it as a piece of entertainment. Don't put pressure on yourself for no reason." Aigron shook his head, "Others don't know, don't you still know? So-called
The script is just a cover, I don’t care if it can be performed perfectly, as long as it can achieve the goal.”
"Having said that, if you can perform it perfectly, it will be easier to spread the word and achieve your goal...so I must go all out." Chanel replied, and then she smiled slightly,
"Your Highness, you are such a kind person."
"Me? Friendly?" Aigron was dumbfounded for a moment, "No, you misunderstood. Soldiers will maintain their weapons and wipe them clean from time to time. I am just doing the same thing. You are my follower and the only one I have at the moment.
A tool that can be trusted, of course I will maintain your emotional stability and try my best to realize your wishes. This is the contract between us, and I am a person who abides by the contract."
"Even if you say so, I still think you are very kind and very kind to me... Your Highness, the luckiest thing in my life is meeting you." Chanel was smiling all over her face and seemed to have recovered from the shock.
"Okay, I'll make you some coffee, please wait a moment!"
After saying that, she quickly walked out of the room.
Poor child, she has suffered so much since she was a child, and received so many cold looks, that when she gets a little sunshine, it feels like she owns the whole world... Looking at her leaving back, Aigron couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
But then again, isn’t it the same for me? That’s why I miss Princess Sophie so much.
When he thought of this, he could only sigh secretly in his heart.
=============================================
In the warm sunshine of the autumn morning, a carriage carrying the iris emblem drove into the square of Schönbrunn Palace after being inspected by the guards.
Then, Count Gabriel de Telewin, the French ambassador to Austria, walked down leisurely.
Although he was wearing casual clothes, he was still quite elegant. He wore a black tuxedo with a velvet hat, and a gold and enamel pocket watch on his chest.
He is not very tall, probably in his forties. Because of his dissolute life, he looks older than his actual age.
His face was a little pale and bloodless, and because he was extremely clean shaven, he looked like he was wearing a mask. However, his eyes had not been damaged by the color of wine, and his gray-brown pupils were often transparent.
With his clever and cunning light, he can measure people up anytime and anywhere.
Under the guidance of his attendants, he walked into the palace, then passed through the corridor and finally reached his destination.
After the attendant knocked on the door, the door was opened, and then he strode in.
Soon, he spotted the young man sitting on the sofa.
He looked at the young man as quickly as possible, assessed the other's demeanor and demeanor, then quickly took off his hat, bowed and saluted Aigron respectfully.
"It is a great honor to meet you, Your Highness."
"I am also very honored to be remembered by the French Ambassador." Aiglon smiled gently, then pointed to the sofa next to him, "Mr. Ambassador, please sit down."
Lord Telewyn sat down obediently.
Then, the maid next to Aigron came over and poured two cups of coffee on the coffee table in front of the two of them.
During the interval between the maid's movements, the earl spoke again, and at the same time looked at the young man diligently, "Your Highness, I am very happy. You really have the charm that the outside world said."
"You are too polite." Aigron just smiled, "I don't know how the outside world evaluates me, but I have always been very dissatisfied with myself."
"Only those who are ambitious will always hope to improve themselves." The ambassador complimented again, then picked up the cup, took a breath, and drank a sip of coffee.
"Speaking of which, sir, you may have been a little careless." Aigron said calmly, "You inadvertently gave me your evidence of guilt. This is a big mistake due to negligence."
The ambassador's expression suddenly became very strange, and he almost spit out a mouthful of coffee.
With great difficulty, he managed to steady himself, "You...what do you mean?"
"You called my father emperor in your letter, which definitely violated the taboos of the court you worked for. They have always said that he is a usurper." Aigron replied with a smile, "Of course, I am personally very grateful to you.
"
After hearing Aigron's words, the ambassador's expression immediately returned to normal.
"So you are joking... Hahaha..." He covered up his gaffe with a smile, "After all, your father has absolutely ruled France in his own name for so many years. This cannot be denied. And things
Nowadays, as long as it is not in public, it is not taboo to call him emperor in private - besides, I don’t think you are so bored as to publicize the private letter I wrote to you everywhere.”
"Okay, sir, I apologize for my joke." Aigron looked at him with a smile, "Please forgive me, after all, I feel excited and excited to see a French official coming to visit me."
"It's okay, Your Highness, it's nice to just liven up the atmosphere." The ambassador shook his head to show that he didn't mind. Then, he nodded again, "The coffee tastes very good, Your Highness, you have a good one."
servant."
After hearing his compliment, the maid bowed respectfully to him and then stepped aside.
For some reason, Earl Telewin always felt that the maid's eyes were wandering on him, but he didn't take it to heart. After all, since the other party usually served this poor prince, he probably didn't have the chance to meet outsiders. Now he met someone.
It’s normal to not be able to suppress your curiosity.
Just when he was thinking this, he subconsciously raised his eyes and looked at the maid.
When the two people's eyes met, the maid was obviously panicked. She tried to dodge, but when she realized that it was too late, she could only forcefully put on an ugly smile.
Although his smile is ugly, he looks pretty good, the ambassador thought.
"Sir?" Aiglon's words quickly drew the ambassador's attention back. "Now that we have exchanged greetings, you should satisfy my curiosity next - you deliberately found a way to see me, and deliberately
What is the purpose of being so polite?"
"With your status, we need to care about you no matter what." The ambassador smiled and replied, "Especially when you are about to become an adult and step onto the European stage, I am even more eager to get to know you."
It had been some time since he came to Austria to take up his post. At first, he didn't pay much attention to the subjugated prince who was left behind in Austria. However, after attending the grand banquet in the palace that day, his thoughts were completely different.
Although the banquet that day was nominally to celebrate the birthday of the emperor's younger brother, Archduke Charles, it was obvious that the Austrian emperor wanted to promote the marriage between his grandson and Princess Theresa.
It is foreseeable that if this marriage really comes to fruition, then this young man's success as an adult will be just around the corner.
In order to adapt to the new situation and find out who he really is, it has become an urgent need for the embassy and himself.
Of course, in addition to all of these, the Ambassador had another reason, a reason that he could only tell His Highness the Prince.
"In addition, my mentor, my respected elder Prince Talleyrand, also hopes to get to know you..."
