Bathed in the early morning light, Aigron got up early as usual and started a day of morning exercises with his swordsmanship teacher, Captain Foresti.
When I was sparring with my teacher today, Aigron worked extremely hard, so when he stopped, he was already a little out of breath, but he was also very comfortable.
Under the Arc de Triomphe, facing the cool breeze, Aigron wiped the sweat from his face with a handkerchief, and then looked at the captain.
"Captain, there is something I want to ask you."
"Ask me, I'll answer everything you know." Captain Foresti was a little surprised at first, then put away his sword and answered.
"The city of Vienna holds a carnival every year. If Her Highness Sophie and I want to attend anonymously this year and experience the fun of citizen life, will you stop us?" Aigron asked.
"If there is no order from above to stop it, then of course I will not disturb the enjoyment of your two highnesses." The captain replied simply.
"Then..." Aigron stared at the captain closely, "What if we go to the hotel you booked to rest for a while at night? After all, you will definitely feel tired after walking so much."
The captain's eyes widened immediately. Of course he could hear the meaning behind this seemingly normal sentence.
However, although this question gave him a huge shock, Captain Foresti did not appear too surprised. Instead, he felt relieved that "he finally said it."
"Your Highness... do you really want to hear my opinion?" After a while, he frowned and asked in a strange attitude.
"I think I know what you will say." Aigron smiled bitterly.
"Yes, I want to say that you are too irrational." The captain sighed, "It seems that although you have an mature personality, you are still a young man after all."
"Thank you for reminding me, but you should also see that I have been rational almost every day since I was a child. Every day I remind myself that I have to be rational... Yes, I have no right to be irrational." Aigron stepped forward.
He looked at his teacher with disapproval, "But... screw your rationality! If everything is rational, what's the point of living in this world? I don't need you to remind me, I know what to do for me."
It's best, but I don't want any rationality in this matter. I want to do whatever I want for once. I want to find eternal memories with her to commemorate a stage of life that I may never be able to get back."
"I understand what you said. After all, everyone has been young, and we can all see how His Highness treats you - but you can't easily throw away everything we have planned for you -" the captain looked
Very complicated, "We talked about this issue last time, you should still remember what I said."
"Yes, Teresa, reason tells me that she is very beneficial to me, and I don't intend to give up." Aigron replied without hesitation, "But before that, I must have a closure, so that I can
Let it go willingly.”
"Do you mean to let go after that? And then do as we say?" The captain said with a little hesitation, "Can you guarantee it?"
"I promise, I know you are doing it for my own good." Aigron lied without blushing at all, "Captain, I also understand your difficulty, so I don't ask you to help me, but can you turn a blind eye?
That’s all I ask for.”
The captain did not hesitate this time, but raised his head and looked at the forest in the distance.
"Your Highness, as I said, I am only responsible for your safety... As for your other matters, they are the private lives of the highest-ranking nobles in the empire, and I have no right to question them."
After getting the answer he wanted most, Aigron smiled and nodded, "Okay, thank you."
At this moment, a palace attendant walked over quickly and saluted the young man.
"Your Highness, Princess Teresa has something to give you as a return gift."
Then, he carefully gave a bag to the young man.
"Gift in return?" Aigron was slightly surprised, but he still nodded politely and thanked him, and then took the bag.
He quickly opened it and found a letter, a few pages of manuscript paper, and a small crystal bottle inside.
"Aeglon, my friend:
I am very happy to receive your gift, and I have to admit that it is exactly the gift I wanted most. I spent the night reading through your creations last night, which is why I returned the gift so quickly.
Yes, I like your creations very much. Some people don't like tragedies because they are afraid to face the real world, but I am different. I think tragedies have a more soul-shaking beauty. Your description of the characters' lines and psychological changes,
They all make me feel very appetizing. I think you do have the ability to create outstanding works. Maybe not this time, but as long as you persist, there will definitely be in the future.
No one expected that someone like you would appear in our family without similar talents. Because of this, I am very sorry, and especially do not want to see your talents buried among the palace walls. I hope you
His talents and talents can be recognized by everyone in the future and conquer Europe in another way...and I am very, very willing to contribute to this.

Sorry... I may have exaggerated because of my excitement. What I want to say is that I deeply admire your talent and respect your efforts even more. I sincerely wish you all the best.
Those pages are the reviews and opinions I wrote last night and this morning. If you have time, you can read them. Of course, these are just my personal opinions and you can refer to them selectively.
Let me tell you something secretly - after my father took you home from the event, he was quite satisfied with your performance. You also know that he is a very strict person, so on the surface he will not say much praise in front of you, but he
You are quite recognized in front of us, and I think this is the praise you deserve.
Thanks to my father, my family has a very good impression of you now. Everyone is looking forward to your arrival. Please be sure not to break the appointment... To put it bluntly, I think our environment there is quite good, and it is definitely a good place to inspire creative inspiration.
You can stay here for a few more days. It won't be a problem if my father is here.
In addition, there is also a bottle of rose essential oil enclosed with the letter, which is refined in our garden. It can effectively relieve fatigue when used for incense or bathing - please help me forward it to the maid who serves you.
, tell her that I appreciate her labor and that she is engaged in a very meaningful job. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will reward her heavily.
Your loyal friend Theresa."
Agron quickly read the letter. The tone and content were very consistent with Teresa's style. He could almost imagine her expression when she said these words to her face.
"Your Highness, this opportunity cannot be missed!" At this moment, Captain Foresty patted his shoulder gently and reminded his little master. "Although I don't know what she said, but from such a positive attitude
Judging from the attitude, everything is self-evident, and combined with Archduke Karl’s attitude... Your Highness, in this case, you must not miss the opportunity."
Judging from his expression, he has probably made some kind of decision.
He will tell Teresa that His Highness is preparing to show his play, and the Captain knows that she will be happy to support it. And by this time, she should really be closer to His Highness's life.
Maybe His Highness will blame himself or even scold him when he finds out in the future, but he must do it.
This is something that is in the interest of His Highness and everyone around him. If His Highness is emotional and cannot accurately judge for himself, then I have the obligation to do the right thing for him and get him on the right track.
Of course, His Highness Sophie's matter is a different matter. He will not tell anyone about it, nor will he hinder their romantic affairs. He just hopes that His Highness will wake up from his dream as soon as possible.
After making up his mind, the captain bowed to the young man and said, "Your Highness, if I were you, I would end all this as soon as possible and face tomorrow with a perfect attitude."
"Okay, thank you." Aigron didn't know what the captain was thinking. He just nodded very kindly, then gently refolded the letter and put it into the bag. "Maybe do it like you said.
better."
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness." The captain bowed again, and then took the sword from Aigron's hand, "Then that's the end of the day."
So, Aigron took the gift in return and returned to his room.
"Nothing." Aigron came back to his senses and smiled.
Then, he took out the small crystal bottle from the bag and handed it to Chanel. "Here, take this away."
"What is this?" Chanel asked with some confusion, looking at the pink-purple liquid swaying slightly in the crystal bottle.
"I just received a reply from Theresa. It seems that she is quite satisfied with my creation, so she is particularly generous." Aigron smiled, "She also specially sent you a gift, saying that she wanted to reward you.
For all your hard work in helping me create... Oh, by the way, she also said that she will reward you heavily if she has the opportunity in the future."
However, to his surprise, Chanel, who had calmed down, didn't seem very happy when he saw this expensive gift.
"How can a humble person like me deserve such an expensive gift? Your Highness, you'd better accept it yourself."
"What's the point of using something like this?" Aigron smiled and shook his head, "Since it has been sent to you, you can accept it reluctantly. I can't give it to others or throw it away."
"But..." Chanel still seemed hesitant, "Don't you think it's strange? You gave me such a gift out of nowhere. I always feel as if you are telling me something..."
"There's no need to think too badly of others, just treat her as a good-natured person." Aigron replied with a smile, "Besides, it doesn't make any sense for you to think so much now. Do you still want me to go to her to confront her about what's going on?"
Did you mean it? That would be too rude."
Chanel thought about it and felt that it was indeed the case.
Besides, as Teresa, giving herself such face, if she still has any opinions, then she is really ignorant.
"Well, I'll thank you, Your Highness." After saying that, she picked up a ceramic plate, poured water into the plate, opened the crystal bottle, and dropped a few drops of essential oil into the plate. "But...
I'm not qualified to use such a valuable thing, so I might as well use it for incense..."
Then, she took the plate and put it on a shelf with a lamp, and lit the candle under the lamp.
Soon, as the plate heated up, the water vapor began to dissipate rapidly, and the aroma of flowers instantly filled the room.
Aigron took a deep breath and then let it out.
"Well, it really smells good, and it smells refreshing. Theresa is really not exaggerating."
"How can something used by someone like her be bad?" Chanel replied with a smile.
Yes, Your Highness Teresa is also a noble person. Compared with her, an orphan, she is completely different. How can she dare to imagine the life she has experienced since she was a child?
I don't even dare to feel jealous, because there is no qualification to compare.
Moreover, it seems that Theresa is also very interested in His Highness.
She also had to admit that if His Highness stayed in Austria for a long time, then maybe this would be the best ending...
Fortunately, His Highness has different ambitions and must leave here.
She didn't dare to expect anything more, as long as she could stay with His Highness for a long time and take care of his life. But if she stayed with Theresa, this dream might not be realized at all.
So... we must help His Highness escape, no matter what the reason is, this is what must be done. She secretly said to herself.
Under Chanel's gaze, Aigron walked to the window sill again and looked out the window.
"After smelling this aroma, I feel energetic. Chanel, let's get started now."
"Okay, Your Highness." Chanel sat down at the desk obediently, picked up a pen and prepared to record His Highness's dictation.
When Aiglon was about to start dictating, he suddenly thought of an important question, so he turned to look at Chanel.
"By the way, Chanel, since you came to Austria, have you ever participated in the carnival in Vienna?"
Chanel was a little surprised by this question, but immediately answered it seriously.
"I have heard about it, but I have no chance to participate, and no one will invite me to play..."
"So, you have a chance this time. You can follow me and Her Highness Sophie to participate in the theater activities. Then you stay in the theater while I go out with Her Highness Sophie. You can just wait for us to come back.
." Aigron casually warned the other party. "We won't need so many people to follow us then."
Chanel seemed to understand something, her expression became slightly sad, but she quickly hid this subtle change.
"As you command, Your Highness." She lowered her head and replied respectfully. "I hope you will have fun then."
