After sending away the French ambassador Count Telewin, Aigron's life returned to its usual rhythm.
The ambassador's visit itself was approved by Prime Minister Metternich, so there is no doubt that the Prime Minister must have his own plans secretly.
Is he going to take this opportunity to build up relations with France, or is he going to betray his old colleague and friend Prince Talleyrand in private to save face? Aigron doesn't know, and he has no interest in knowing the old man's plans.
For him, the biggest gain from this visit was not getting to know a French politician and the big shot behind him, but helping Chanel identify her enemy.
He has no hatred towards the Count himself. Everyone is their own master. The Count was doing his part by bloody suppressing the supporters of the Bonaparte family. But since he is Chanel's mortal enemy, the situation is different.
It is absolutely impossible for him to coexist peacefully with the other party forever.
As long as he ascends the throne one day in the future, Count Telewin will be destined to become a sacrifice under the throne - as his original follower, Chanel is indeed qualified to receive this reward.
How to do this is another matter.
The ambassador's visit once again aroused the fire in his heart, but he knew that what he needed most was patience. Only by following the plan could he have a real future.
Now, he can't influence the outside world anyway, so he can only calm down first.
On this morning, under the warm autumn sunshine, Aigron stood by the window sill and dictated, while Chanel sat at his desk, silently recording the sentences he dictated.
Early October is the warmest and most comfortable time of the year. The sunshine is soft and warm, taking care of the grass and plants outside the Schönbrunn Palace. The woods begin to slowly turn orange or red, transforming the palace into a beautiful place.
The palace looks like it is in an oil painting.
"Tell me, who are you? Are you sent by God to give me happiness, or are you sent by the devil to tempt me to fall...well, maybe the two are the same thing..."
After reading a long paragraph eloquently, Aigron couldn't help but pause and look at the beautiful scenery outside the window for a while.
"Where did you write it?" After reading it, he looked back at Chanel.
However, he was stunned for a moment, because the person sitting on the seat taking notes was no longer Chanel, but clearly Princess Sophie.
Chanel, on the other hand, could only stand aside respectfully and helplessly.
"Your Highness, I'm sorry, Her Royal Highness the Princess just came in. She didn't allow me to disturb you..."
"You were so absorbed that you didn't even notice that I was here." Princess Sophie looked at the boy with a half-smile, "But this is a good thing."
Aigron didn't know what to say, so he could only smile.
"I have just recorded the last thing you said -" Her Royal Highness the Princess said as she stood up.
Then, she walked up to Aigron and handed the record book in her hand to Aigron. "See if there is any problem."
Eggron took it over and looked at the lines written in two different handwritings.
"No problem, thank you, Your Highness." He thanked Her Royal Highness the Princess.

"You don't need to thank me. On the contrary, I am very happy..." Princess Sophie shook her head with a smile, "I just listened to the lines you conceived and I felt moved."
"Really?" Aigron was surprised and surprised, "If I can even impress you, I think it should be fine."
"That's not necessarily true. After all, I have an unexpected empathy with the heroine in this script, so I might be easily offended by the scene." The smile on Her Royal Highness's face slowly faded, and then she asked the boy again,
"Aiglon, is this poor princess really going to have nothing but tragedy?"
"In my conception, the story structure is already like this. After all, her only hope is broken, so that the final theme can be sublimated." Aigron shrugged, "But if you ask, then I can consider changing it.
…”
"No, no need." Princess Sophie waved her hand gently, "I have said before that if I forcefully change your story according to my wishes, it will not be your story. There will always be some regrets in life.
, a tragedy is a tragedy, anyway, let’s think about how to make people happy for the next story.”
"Thank you for your understanding." Aigron smiled and nodded.
Her Royal Highness the Princess looked at his smile, and then laughed herself, "That's right, a story is just a story after all, there is no need for me to substitute it into reality..."
Then, she turned her eyes away and looked out the window. The two of them stood in front of the window and admired the scenery outside the window.
After a moment of silence, Her Royal Highness the Princess spoke again.
"It's beautiful here, isn't it?"
"It's beautiful." Aigron nodded.
"It's so strange that neither of us were born here, but we were affected by the thread of fate and finally had the honor to meet here. Is this God's will? It's really mysterious." Her Royal Highness the Princess looked out the window, and then seemed to
He said with emotion, "No matter what, I will thank God for everything he has done for me... Of course, maybe you will be different. After all, you lost an empire to come here."
"It is true that this is an unbearable loss, but it does not make me give up on myself, but gives me the motivation to fight for it." Aigron answered with his head held high, "Your Highness, I also thank God for allowing me to meet you.
"
Perhaps influenced by the story he just told, Her Royal Highness the Princess was in a somewhat melancholy and sad mood at this time, so Aigron deliberately acted uplifting, hoping to make her happy.
"You are right." Her Royal Highness the Princess was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly.
Then, she gently stretched out her hand and pointed to the huge fountain in the distance, then slowly paddled to the door further away, "It will eventually belong to us, it just takes a little time."
"
Then, she quietly turned her head and looked at the young man, "Aigron, I have given you so many things. What you asked for, what you didn't ask for, as long as I have it, I gave it to you. I don't think I am
I am giving you kindness, because I am very happy when doing this... I just have a wish that I hope you can realize - that is, stay with me and accompany me through this period of time. Without you,
If so, the beautiful scenery here will eventually be eclipsed..."
Her Highness the Princess's words made Aigron feel a little twitching, so he nodded slightly and took the opportunity to avoid her sight.
"It is my greatest honor to be by your side, Your Highness."
"Very good." Princess Sophie nodded slightly, "At least I'm different from the person in your story, right?"
Before Aigron could answer, she suggested, "Okay, while the weather is so nice, let's review the lines... maybe this can trigger more inspiration."
"No problem." Aigron agreed immediately.
"Well, let's hurry up while there is still time." Princess Sophie smiled, and then took the notebook from his hand.
Then, she turned back and made a gesture to signal Chanel to go out.
Although Chanel was unwilling, she could only nod and bow, and exited the room.
Princess Sophie picked up the book and read it again, and recited a few lines silently.
This paragraph is written about the heroine's hesitation before the pursuit of her lover. She longs for comfort outside of her unfortunate and indifferent marriage, but she is also instinctively afraid of the cliff and abyss that are only one step away, so she questions and pursues herself.
The young nobleman questioned his sincerity and hoped that he would stop before the last step.
However, they did not stop in the end, and the speeding carriage broke through all obstacles until it finally fell off the cliff.
After pondering for a while, Her Royal Highness the Princess slowly spoke.
"My dear friend, do you know what you have done? You stood in front of a woman who longed for warmth, you gave her hope, and you made her smile again. In this case, how can you bear to do it again?
Make her despair? If you do that, then you have committed the greatest sin in the world?"
While speaking, Princess Sophie looked at Aiglon, "She was unfortunately at the mercy of fate, her soul had withered, and she was so disappointed that she didn't even dare to hope for anything anymore, and then you came. You had the power to make her heart tremble.
With a smile, you mercilessly drained away the remaining soul of her and used it for fun. You manipulated her with sweet words one after another, making her worried, jealous and angry all the time. Didn’t she have the most elegant demeanor? Why?
For whom did we end up in this situation? Do you know what you did?"
Hearing this question that seemed to come from the heart, Aigron hesitated for a moment. After a while, he put aside his distracting thoughts and began to read his lines.
"I know, Your Highness. I know everything you said. I have also hesitated and been afraid. I have also thought about letting everything disappear without a trace. But no matter how I make up my mind, when I see you again
, I will leave my fear and determination behind again, I just want to chase your smile." Aigron's tone was calm, but he could not suppress his passion, "I live in a magnificent but empty place.
, it wasn’t until I met you and saw your smile that I felt real warmth... I couldn’t let go of my fantasies and obsessions, and I was more afraid of seeing you leave me than of sin.”
Princess Sophie's eyes lit up, maybe she couldn't tell whether this was a line in the script or something else.
"Why are you using these words to deceive me? Don't you know how easy and willing she is to be fooled?" She raised her voice slightly, "You may not have imagined all the terrible consequences. I implore you, if
You are just acting out and using me as a prey to show off, so stop it immediately! If you even have a little pity for me, don't make me sad and desperate again..."
"No, I won't stop, because this is what I am pursuing." The young man shook his head stubbornly, "I don't know what the consequences will be, but even so I will go to the end, even if I end up being Queen Margot's lover.
Even if a sharp ax strikes me, I will die with a smile on my face, because I can happily tell myself that I am dying for you."
"What cruel words! How could I bring death to you!" Her Royal Highness the Princess took a few steps closer and looked at the person in front of her with panic and relief, "Okay... I believe your words and believe it with all my soul.
, because I am willing to take it seriously, but I don’t want you to die, I want you to be by my side forever..."
Tears rolled down from the corners of Her Royal Highness the Princess's eyes, and finally fell on the soft carpet, leaving two tear marks on the side of her face. "If there is sin, then we will bear it together; if we are destined to go to hell, then we will go together.
Bar."
"I don't believe it. Wherever you are, it is heaven." The young man gently took out a handkerchief and wiped the other person's tears.
When the touch of the silk handkerchief came to her face, Her Royal Highness the Princess looked at him as if she had been awakened, her eyes twinkling like stars.
"Aegron!" she called softly.
Then, she reached out her hand desperately, and the two hugged each other.
"Don't you regret it?" she asked softly.
"It's an honor." The young man smiled slightly, and then suddenly held his hands.
Her Royal Highness the Princess cried out in surprise, and then her waist subconsciously swung back, and the book in her hand fell to the ground with a dull sound.
The young man leaned down and saw that the distance between the two people was getting closer and closer.
It didn't take long for their lips to touch each other.
Her Highness the Princess's eyes were a little flustered at first, then she closed her eyes, and the corners of her mouth slid slightly, leaving a satisfied smile.
This seems like an uncontrollable accident, but it also seems like an inevitable event that both of them have been waiting for for a long time, but no matter what, this will be a memory they cannot forget.
