Although he has experienced many dangers in his life and grew up under surveillance and imprisonment, he has not suffered any physical harm - after all, he is also nominally the grandson of the Austrian Emperor.
He is a true prince and grandson, and most people would not dare to do anything wrong to him without orders.
Therefore, Bianca caused him physical harm for the first time in his life.
He still remembers the pain of the sword piercing his shoulder, and also remembers the luck of escaping from death after being in a coma for several days. And all of this was given by Bianca.
This kind of pain naturally brought about incomparable anger. If Bianca had been caught when he was just injured, he would first use various cruel ways to retaliate against this hateful woman, and then kill her.
To kill her, she would shed all the hatred in her heart.
But time has passed, and his current hatred has disappeared a lot. It's not that he doesn't mind this assassination, but now that he has a throne in front of him, compared with it, the hatred in the past seems so small.
What's more, now that Bianca is in his hand, it means he has a trump card against Agnes, and he is not afraid that this little girl will not give in.
It was precisely because of the change in his mentality that Aigron quickly regained his composure.
"Go and bring her over."
Edmund took the order and left, and soon after, he brought Bianca over who was hiding in the carriage.
Looking at Bianca who was tightly bound and with a towel gagged in her mouth, Agron could not connect her with the arrogant, cruel and ruthless female killer in her memory.
It seems that she has really suffered a lot during this time - Aigron thought to himself without any sympathy.
At this time, Bianca also raised her head and looked at Agron. Facing this young man who could decide her life or death with just a casual word, her eyes were still full of audacity and unyieldingness. At this time, only this look could
Let people find a little shadow of the past in her.
After looking at each other for a moment, Aigron waved his hand to signal Edmund.
"Let her loose. Let a lady face me in this state. This is not the way I treat guests."
Of course Aigron knew that Bianca was very skilled, but when the two first met, Bianca, who was in excellent condition, was not able to kill Aigron. Instead, Aigron took advantage of the night and the environment to injure him.
Angkar was already in this state, with no weapons in his hands. Of course he had no fear, but had to show an attitude of "everything is under control".
Edmund immediately carried out Aigron's order and removed all the chains tied to Bianca's body one by one.
The heavy restraints that had been tied to her body for several months finally left. Bianca felt the comfort that she had not seen for a long time. She noticed that her strength was recovering from her body bit by bit.
Of course, she had no intention of doing anything stupid - after all, in front of this young man, she was no different from a lamb waiting to be slaughtered without a weapon.
Therefore, she just kept looking at Aigron with her head raised, waiting for the young man's fate.
"Madam, it's a pity that we meet again in this way, but I think that the responsibility is not on me. It's all your own fault." Aigron showed no expression, and then continued, "As a person under your sword,
Victim, I have the right to take any revenge."
Bianca didn't have much objection to this point, but her focus was different.
"You are right, King of Rome. I raised my sword to kill you, but I failed. This is because I am not good at studying. Since I am not good at studying, I deserve to be punished. Just like a life-and-death duel, if I lose, then
My life is naturally at your disposal. You can tie me up with iron chains if you like. You can also directly kill me if you want to. I have no complaints and accept it calmly."
Even now she doesn't feel the slightest regret about the assassination, only regret that she failed.
Aigron had already expected her attitude towards her, so he was not angry. To be honest, if Bianca had knelt down and begged for mercy as soon as he met her, he would have been disappointed.
Although he was a despicable assassin, Aigron quite admired Bianca's swordsmanship, so deep down in his heart, he also hoped that Bianca could have the backbone of a swordsman instead of being a puddle of mud.
"Logically speaking, based on what you have done, I should really put you on trial and let everyone know the consequences of playing dirty tricks on me... However, I don't plan to do that now." Aigron looked at Bi.
Angka calmly stated his decision, "I know you won't appreciate my lenient approach, because I have conditions. I hope you will confess to me and prove the instigator behind the scenes."
If Edmund hadn't warned her before, Bianca would have rejected Agron's proposal face to face and made him give up. But now, in order not to implicate Agnes, she could only choose to remain silent.
A cold approach implicitly expresses a refusal to cooperate.
Aigron was silent, Bianca was silent, and for a moment the room fell into a strange silence.
Edmund, who stayed nearby, was on pins and needles. He didn't want to offend his benefactor.
"You are unwilling to betray the person behind you? What an admirable character." After a long silence, Aigron sneered.
This didn't surprise him.
"To be honest, I don't really care who your instigator is behind the scenes."
You don't care who the instigator is, so why did you torture me like this just to get me to confess?
Bianca was slightly surprised that Aigron's preface did not match the follow-up.
However, Aigron quickly explained, "For me, it doesn't matter who the instigator is, my enemy, my friend, or my relative, I just need him to be the Duke of Orleans! Now
He is my number one rival, so he must be the scoundrel who plotted my assassination, and no one else would do it! And you - you are the witness, you got the order from the Duke of Orleans,
Then he tracked and assassinated me. This despicable act proved how deliberate the Duke of Orleans was in order to usurp the throne, and how vicious and despicable he was..."
Bianca was secretly shocked by Aiglon's words.
Obviously, he intended to use himself as a cannonball to attack his political opponents regardless of the facts; however, objectively, this accusation was false and completely consistent with the facts.
But of course she couldn't admit it now, so she could only put on an angry posture, "Are you asking me to frame your political opponents out of thin air in exchange for my own survival?"
"You don't have to say it so harshly. You can understand that you are exchanging silence for freedom." Aigron replied with a sneer, "I don't need you to do anything more. As long as you remain silent, we will do the rest."
Of course it can be done."
After a pause, Aigron added, "Then again, although I don't have many friends, I also don't have many real enemies. There are not many people who hate me enough to be in the mood to send assassins to kill me.
The Czar? The Austrian Emperor? None of them would do this. There are only a few people who are really suspected, and the Duke of Orleans is one of them. In politics, one-third of the suspects can no longer be called unjust. Some people
You would rather kill three thousand by mistake than let one go, right?"
Aigron's nonsense made Bianca almost speechless.
Bianca has always been a person who believes in strength. She never talks when she can take action, and naturally has no talent for debating. But now that she is in jail, she has no ability to take action, and she is no match for using her mouth.
Being forced to this point and unable to make any effective resistance, Bianca felt that she was extremely aggrieved.
"Even if you catch me, you can't do whatever you want. The Duke of Orleans is not someone you can convict just by testifying... You can't produce actual evidence." In the end, she could only retort like this.
"You are right." Aigron nodded, "But who dares to say that I will not be able to produce evidence?"
Bianca looked at Aigron in confusion.
It seems that this master is not much smarter than Agnes... Agron just sneered in his heart.
He didn't come to court to file charges and then go through the plea process. All he needed was to discredit his political opponents. Evidence? Does that make sense?
Once he formally filed a complaint, identified the Duke of Orleans, and showed the fact that he had captured the assassin in a serious manner, he would have poured mud on the Duke of Orleans.
Evidence? Is there any court qualified to review this case? It doesn't matter at all. Those who are willing to believe will believe it, and those who are unwilling to believe will never believe it. The facts are not important in it.
Whether it's Bianca or Agnes, they may have devoted their wisdom to swordsmanship, but they both seem so naive in an industry they don't understand at all.
Aiglon didn't intend to explain so many things to Bianca. For him, as long as he controlled Bianca, a sharp weapon was already in his hands.
Now that everyone has fallen into my hands, it is no problem to manipulate them in any way I want. He is so confident at this time.
Next, it's time to use this "weapon" to another effect.
He called Edmund over, and then whispered to him, "Go and get Agnes."
Edmund understood and immediately withdrew again.
He actually didn't know where Agnes was currently housed, but it didn't bother him. After he came out, he randomly found a guard he knew and immediately learned where Miss Agnes currently lived.
Then, he quickly ran to find Agnes.
Agnes was quite happy to see Edmund, her old friend, but soon she stopped laughing.
"Master has been brought here by you?!" Her expression became panicked.
"Yes, Ms. Bianca is in front of His Majesty now." Edmund nodded, "His Majesty asked you to hurry over."
"Then take me there quickly!" Agnes did not dare to waste any more time, and hurriedly flew towards Aiglon under the leadership of Edmund.
She was indeed very anxious, fearing that Bianca would lose her temper in front of Aiglon again, and then offend Aiglon and be killed directly.
Although she had begged Aigron to promise to spare her master's life, Aigron's status was no longer what it used to be, and this kind of light promise no longer had any binding force on him. If she wanted to save her master's life, she still had to pay.
More effort.
Soon, she was taken to Aiglon's reception room.
Because she was running fast and excited, she was breathing heavily and her face was red. When she saw her master's miserable state, she almost shed tears because of her heartache.
"Master..." She ran directly to Bianca's side, and then hugged Bianca tightly.
Although he is very embarrassed, he is at least alive... and he should continue to live in the future.
After seeing Agnes, Bianca also had mixed feelings. She also hugged her apprentice, and then gently stroked her hair.
Aigron watched indifferently and did not disturb the touching scene of the reunion between master and apprentice - for him, the deeper the bond between master and apprentice, the more opportunities he could take advantage of.
After a while, Agnes finally regained some composure. She raised her head and looked at Agron with tear-stained eyes. "Your Majesty... how were you guys talking just now?"
Maybe it’s because she’s been with Aiglon for a long time, or maybe it’s because of the advice from her father and sister. In short, Agnes has become more and more accustomed to Aiglon calling “Your Majesty”, and her expression has gradually become more respectful.
The once proud girl gradually became accustomed to bowing her head to the young man she once resented under the pressure of reality, and she even accepted it as a matter of course in her heart.
"Unfortunately, our talks were very unsmooth." Aigron shook his head, "Ms. Bianca was very unwilling to accept the conditions I offered, and she also spoke rudely to me, which made me a little angry..."
Agnes was even more distraught at Agron's threat. "I ask you not to be angry, master... Master, she has always had such a temper."
"Even if she has a temper, she should be the one to accommodate me, because I am the master here!" Agron interrupted Agnes.
But immediately, his tone softened a little, "However, although I was angry, considering you, I still swallowed my anger. Agnes, I remember what I promised you."
"Thank you for your generosity..." Agnes finally breathed a sigh of relief and almost cried again.
After a series of blows, her nerves are now much weaker, and her mood swings are getting more and more intense, so Aigron doesn't want to over-pressure her now, lest she suffer a mental breakdown.
"Magnificent?" Aigron sneered, "I never remember that I am a magnanimous person. On the contrary, I will retaliate. Anyone who offends me will be resented by me and I will retaliate one by one. I am just for you and can tolerate her.
It's an offense, but...she also knows that repaying kindness is the only way to repay a favor, and I won't allow anyone to trample on my goodwill!"
