Seeing that Prosecutor Villefort made him so satisfied, Aigron decided to "treat" the prosecutor well, at least during this period of time, so that he would have sufficient motivation to work for him.
"Chanel!" he greeted loudly.
"Yes! Your Majesty." The maid Chanel, who was waiting outside the door, immediately responded and walked in.
As the Aiglons settled in Fontainebleau and became the masters of this place, Chanel naturally prospered and became an indispensable member of their court.
However, even though she has a special status, Chanel is not proud of it and does not want to engage in a more "authoritative" job. On the contrary, she insists on staying with Aiglon and taking on the work of personal maid - and Aiglon is
Over the past few years, I have become accustomed to Chanel's meticulous care by my side, so I am happy to have Chanel continue to stay by my side.
However, in the past few years, Aigron has been trying to improve Chanel's status among his subordinates, and even granted her the qualification of a member of the Knights for the first time. Therefore, even if Chanel acts low-key, no one here dares to look down upon her.
She may be disrespectful to her.
"Sir, she is my maid, Miss Chanel. When you live here, if you have any needs in life, just ask her." After Chanel came in, Agron introduced him to Prosecutor Villefort.
she.
Then, Aigron warned Chanel, "Chanel, Prosecutor Villefort is my distinguished guest. You must not neglect him."
"As you command, Your Majesty." Chanel responded, and then respectfully saluted Villefort.
Naturally, Villefort did not dare to neglect him. He would certainly not be so stupid as to treat the maid specially introduced by Aiglon as a small person.
Everyone has understood a truth since ancient times. Under an autocratic system, positions and titles are sometimes meaningless. The closer the person is to the king, the more authoritative he is.
If it were a prosecutor in the past, he might have been deliberately arrogant in order to show his integrity, but now that he no longer had any bargaining power in front of Agron, he could only grovel.
"Sir, I will take you to rest. Please follow me." After saluting, Chanel looked at Villefort gently, and then left the room with him.
And soon only Aigron and Agnes were left here.
Agnes seemed to have foreseen the danger, and she suddenly became nervous, and her face turned slightly red, but she did not dare to leave rudely, so she could only freeze in place, helplessly waiting for the young man's next sentence.
"Don't be so nervous, Agnes." To her surprise, the young man was not frivolous this time, but looked at her angrily, "Does being with me make you so uncomfortable?
"
"Of course that's not the case!" Agnes blurted out, "I just... just..."
"You're just afraid that I'll do something deviant again, right?" Aigron finished it for her with a smile.
Agnes blushed even more and lowered her head as if she was ashamed to speak.
"Sorry, I admit that I can't help myself when facing you, but if you hate me doing this, I will try to control myself..." Aigron deliberately pretended to be depressed.
As he expected, Agnes quickly put aside her uneasiness and took the initiative to excuse him, "Actually, I don't hate you, it's just that I'm not used to it. In fact, I am very grateful for everything you have done for me.
, it can even be said that apart from my close relatives, you are the person who has the greatest kindness to me. How could I hate you?"
It's not easy... Aigron sighed in his heart.
How much effort did he secretly waste in order to make this easily explosive kitten willing to be petted by him?
However, all the costs were worth it, and the joy of getting along with Agnes made him reluctant to leave.
"If that's the case, then I'm relieved." Aigron said, while holding Agnes's hand, "However, you don't have to be so serious about it, the help I gave is just for the sake of
To bring you and me closer, if you are respectful to me out of gratitude, it will disappoint me... What I like most is the sharp and cheerful you when we first met, although you were
You were chasing me with a sword, but you made me feel touched from the bottom of my heart. From that moment on, I will never forget you!"
Although Agnes has excellent swordsmanship, compared with other princesses, she is extremely lacking in social experience, not to mention what kind of person is Aigron? In just a few words, she was drunk by Aigron.
Almost.
Being favored by this young man naturally gave Agnes some instinctive pride, but along with this pride came an indescribable loss.
It's a pity that it's a little late... The young man when they first met was already engaged to Princess Teresa, and Her Royal Highness the Princess insisted on fulfilling the engagement even though she was ridiculed by the whole of Europe. This also made the two of them
A fairy tale ending is no longer possible from the beginning.
She will not get a good result after all, and Agnes knows this better than anyone else.
What she knew even more clearly was that she probably had no choice and no place to hide.
In this case, then leave everything to fate... Once you leave everything to fate and no longer worry or have any hope, you will gain a kind of detachment and calmness. This is Agni
The current status of silk.
In other words, since it is destined to not have any good results, wouldn't it be better to enjoy it in time?
She didn't want anything more than all the good and bad consequences that fate had given her.
"What's the matter, Agnes?" Aiglon noticed that Agnes was lost in thought, so he asked her in a low voice.
"It's nothing, Your Majesty." Agnes came back to her senses, and then smiled slightly, "Since you want to see me like that, I will show it well in the future."
Then, she looked at Aiglon steadily, and then continued in a low voice, "I like you too."
Aigron was stunned, and for a moment he suspected that he had heard wrong. He did not expect Agnes to say such straightforward words.
"Really...?" In shock, he asked something completely stupid.
"Why, with Your Majesty's proud character, would you be surprised by this? Or maybe you don't want to hear it?" Agnes asked Agron.
"No, of course I didn't mean that..." Aigron came back to his senses at this time, and then quickly shook his head, "I'm just... I'm just afraid that you are deliberately saying nice things to please me."
"If I want to please you, I don't need to say that." Agnes smiled and shook her head, "To be honest, it's not difficult to like you. You are better than me in almost every aspect, even if I am the most arrogant.
There is no place better than you, but you still miss me. How many girls will not be moved by this? Even Princess Theresa, whose status and knowledge are much higher than mine, is obsessed with it, so why am I not...
"
When she said this, her smile turned gloomy again, "However, in the end, we can only stop at liking each other. Fate has not blessed us, and I will not ask for more."
"No, besides marriage, I can give you countless things, everything!" Aigron blurted out in joy and panic.
After he said it, he realized that he had been stupid again and actually told the cold truth between the two of them - no matter what he said, he could never give Agnes a family, at least not legally.
If his plan comes true, Agnes will indeed be trapped in a relationship with no end in sight.
Oh, what have I done? He even had the urge to cover his face for a moment, and the original excitement was gone.
Even now, he did not regret what he had done, let alone feel guilty, but when he thought about giving Agnes such a fate, he suddenly felt that the price was too high.
In this short moment, the calm and insidious aura that usually surrounded him disappeared, leaving only a confused and at a loss of what to do, terrified of his "masterpiece".
"It turns out that His Majesty also acts like a fool sometimes..." Just when he was still struggling, Agnes took the initiative to move her face towards him, her gray eyes looking at his handsome face affectionately, "If he has always been like this
It would be even cuter."
"I'm sorry, Agnes." Agron smiled bitterly.
However, his smile immediately froze, because at this moment, Agnes suddenly kissed his cheek gently.
Although this was just a touch of contact, this was the first time Agnes took the initiative to kiss herself.
Aigron believes that this is definitely the first time in the girl's life.
"There's no need to say sorry, because there are so many things we're sorry for, and the accounts can't be settled anymore." Although Agnes's face was red, she looked at Agron with a cheerful look, "Okay.
Don't worry. Although you did make me extremely unlucky, you also gave me too much happiness, so... I will forgive you and continue to like you. Of course, maybe one day in the future I will suddenly not like you.
Maybe, because we have no obligation to like each other forever."
In front of the girl's provocative eyes, Aigron's fighting spirit and competitive spirit were suddenly awakened.
"There won't be such a day. I won't allow you to dislike me!" Aigron answered her proudly, "As for happiness... I still have a way to make you happier. Do you dare to try it?"
"Bah!" Agnes spat, and then she glanced at the young man, "If you can do it, it's your ability!"
After saying that, she turned around and ran out - for her, she still had too much to learn in the lesson of coquettishness, and today's performance had exceeded her acceptance limit.
And Aigron didn't chase him out, he just recalled the conversation between the two of them just now, and the cool kiss on the cheek.
Yes, she knows what will happen, but she doesn't care, and I... will bear the price of my desire, no matter what it is.
"You may run, but you can't escape!" He shouted loudly at Agnes's back with arrogance and joy.
============================
While Agnes and Agnes were flirting, Chanel also silently performed his task and took Prosecutor Villefort to the residence arranged for him.
There are many rooms in this huge palace that can accommodate people. Since Aigron just emphasized that the prosecutor is a distinguished guest, Chanel specially brought him to a quiet and luxuriously decorated suite to show respect for this distinguished guest.
Of course, the prosecutor has no objection to Chanel's arrangements - in fact, in order to maintain his personality for many years, he has been living a very simple life, so he has basically no requirements for the quality of life. No matter how Chanel arranges for him, he will
They won't care.
After being taken to his residence, Villefort proposed to take a walk around to relax his mind.
The main reason why he brought it up to Chanel was that the palace was too complicated. If he ran around and accidentally stumbled into some confidential incident that he shouldn't know about, the consequences would be disastrous.
Since he is a distinguished guest, Chanel will of course fully accommodate Villefort's reasonable requests.
"Okay, come with me. There is a corridor next to the garden. The scenery is very good. You can rest there."
Then, she took Villefort out of the room again, and together they came to the place she said.
Villefort came to the corridor, then leaned on the marble railing next to the flower bed, breathing in the fresh air.
After the panic and tension just now, he really needed to relax.
There were still so many difficulties and obstacles that faced him next, and he had to cheer up and muster up the courage to overcome them.
Although this place is a palace, because it has just begun to expand again, it still seems a bit empty at this time. Only a few people appear in Villefort's sight.
At this time, there was a lady wandering on the grass in the sun. She was quite beautiful, wearing a fluffy skirt, and holding a small parasol in her hand. She looked pleasing to the eye from a distance.
However, what caught Villefort's attention was not the lady's beauty, but... he recognized who the other party was.
"Emily?"
He exclaimed in surprise.
"Do you know Mrs. Danglars?" Chanel, who was standing next to him, immediately noticed the prosecutor's anomaly.
The prosecutor finally reacted and immediately answered with an apologetic smile.
"Yes... I met Madame Danglars when I attended social gatherings. But later I heard that the banker Danglars went bankrupt and fled, and Madam Danglars also disappeared. I didn't expect that.
She actually appears here..."
The prosecutor's words were reasonable, so Chanel had no doubts.
She did not further explain the reason for Emily's appearance here. After all, this lady's experience was relatively "complex" and her identity was quite "sensitive." She didn't know how to explain it.
At this time, Mrs. Danglars's gaze shifted to this side, and she immediately recognized Villefort.
Like Villefort, she was a little pale at first, but she soon calmed down, and then nodded gently in greeting under the gaze of the two people.
"It seems that you two do know each other, so you might as well catch up on old times..." Chanel suggested, after all, this would save him the pain of explanation.
