84, carnival

"If you were so considerate all the time, I would never be troubled again."

Sophie's words seemed to have mixed feelings, including relief and joy, but also a little trouble and sadness. After all, she knew in her heart that God did not leave much future for them.

However, it is enough to at least enjoy the moment.

She quickly put back all her emotions, and then let go of the young man in her arms.

"Wait a moment, I'll go back and change my clothes."

After saying that, she quickly left, leaving Aiglon behind.

It seems like she really likes it... Aigron thought to himself with a little pride.

"Chanel!" he greeted loudly.

"Your Highness?" Chanel heard the greeting and walked over from the next room, waiting for his order.

After seeing Aigron's dress, she was obviously stunned. "You..."

Of course she remembered that she had found these clothes for the young man.

Needless to say, the purpose of wearing these clothes is to please Her Highness Sophie.

"Chanel, today is the day when we go to the carnival... I will take you there as I promised before, so that you can experience the fun of the Austrian people." Aigron said to her with a smile, "But

, His Highness and I will go out for a walk then, you can just stay in the theater."

"Yes, Your Highness." Chanel lowered his head expressionlessly, "I wish you a happy time."

"Thank you, I think I will." Aigron smiled and nodded.

Just after the two of them were ready, Sophie ran over again.

As soon as she came in, she ignored Chanel and directly held the young man's hand.

"Aigron, let's go!"

Aigron looked at Sophie and found that she also had a completely new look.

She was wearing a thick and fluffy winter dress with white and pink lace on the neckline. The sleeves were bulging puff sleeves. There were also many exquisite laces on the skirt of her lower body, and she wore a bow on her head.

Hair accessories - the whole look looks like she has returned to her girlhood.

Maybe this is what she longs for deep down.

"Your Highness, you are so beautiful." He couldn't help but compliment.

"You shouldn't call me that now, right?" Sophie asked pretending to be annoyed.

"Sofia, I...I'm so happy to enjoy this festival with you." Aigron quickly responded.

"Franz, as long as you are willing, I will always be by your side." Sophie finally smiled again, and then she stretched out her hand from behind, "I also prepared this for us!"

Aigron took a closer look and found that she was holding two exquisite masks in her hands.

"Here you go!" Sophie handed him one.

Aigron took it over and put it on himself.

This mask was specially used for masquerade parties, and could only cover the upper half of the face. Aigron looked at his current image in the mirror, and suddenly found it quite interesting.

This was an experience he had never had before.

"Okay, stop looking in the mirror!" After a while, Sophie urged him, "Aiglon, we should go."

Then, he looked at Chanel, who had been silent next to him.

"Your Highness...do you have any orders?" Chanel quickly lowered his head and asked.

"Chanel, Aigron requested that you also attend the carnival activities, and I agreed." Sophie asked casually, "So do you have a dance partner tonight? If you have someone you like among the palace attendants, I can make an exception and invite you.

Come with him, and you should have more fun this way."

"Your Highness, how could I have such a candidate?" Chanel gently clenched her fists out of sight of her, "Just completing the tasks assigned by you has made my life fulfilling enough, I don't want to

Do you need to bring a dance partner with you?"

"Okay... Since that's okay, you can find a dance partner there. After all, isn't that what people attend masquerades to enjoy...?" Sophie didn't bother to pay more attention to her, so it was okay to see that she didn't appreciate it.

"Once you get there, you are free. As long as you don't disturb our interest, you can do whatever you want. Enjoy it."

The more Sophie said this, the more uncomfortable Chanel felt, but she did not dare to show it in front of their two highnesses, so she lowered her head and remained silent.

After the explanation, Sophie and her group came into the night, and then came to the carriage.

"What a pity it's not a pumpkin carriage." After seeing that the carriage was still as inconspicuous as before, he was disappointed and couldn't help but complain softly.

"Fool, you don't really think you are in a fairy tale world..." Sophie couldn't help but snicker.

"The world with Cinderella must be a fairy tale world." Aigron turned around and said to Princess Sophie with a smile, "So this is probably just because midnight has not yet arrived."

Looking at the young man's smile, Sophie was stunned for a moment, then gently tapped his head, "Okay! You just know how to say such crazy things."

While talking and laughing, they got on the carriage, and then in the night, the carriage drove into the city of Vienna.

At this time, Vienna seemed to have changed into a different city, with bright lights everywhere and crowds of people. Some people were even wearing strange clothes and masks like the two people on the carriage.

Just looking at the street is full of carnival atmosphere.

The carriage moved through the crowded streets and finally arrived at the Ruby Theater where they often went.

Today's theater is equally crowded. The audience seats have been temporarily removed, clearing a large area of ​​​​empty space. The stage has been expanded into a huge dance floor, with people wearing various costumes in it, and all windows have been lit.

The stained glass lamps make the whole space colorful and dazzling, making you almost forget what world you are in.

When they arrived at the theater, their old acquaintance, the theater manager, also ran over immediately.

"Mr. Memmingen, Miss Memmingen, you are dressed very uniquely tonight." He said hello with a smile.

"Good evening, sir." Sophie also greeted him.

"It's a great honor for you two to take the time to attend our dance. Please enjoy it tonight." The manager said very politely, "If you like any dance partner, just mention it to us and I will find a way.

.”

Since Agron's script was released here and received an enthusiastic response, the status of the two of them here has been greatly improved. They are not only regarded as wealthy men, but also vaguely become objects that need to be courted.

, so they also enjoyed the rare VIP treatment.

"No, sir, you can go about your business, we will be our respective dance partners." Sophie shook her head and rejected the manager's proposal.

After saying that, she was no longer polite, took the hand of the young man next to her, and led him into the spacious venue.

Are they really siblings? Looking at their backs, the manager had another question in his mind - he had done this many times.

However, just like before, he quickly gave up this idea. This was not an issue that he needed to delve into.

Sophie took Aigron and walked into the center of the venue together. The place was already full of people, leaving only small gaps between them.

She stopped and looked around at the people in strange clothes and the strange lights, experiencing this noisy, messy, weird and novel feeling.

"So this is the atmosphere of a carnival..." It was Sophie's first time to participate in such an event, so she was a little dazzled, "It's really interesting."

"Do you regret not participating earlier?" Aigron asked with a smile.

"No, this place only makes sense when you are here..." Sophie suddenly turned her head and looked at Aigron affectionately, "So, let's dance here together."

It can be seen that Princess Sophie is in a very happy mood now, which is why she said such direct words.

Of course Aigron would have no other opinions.

"I'm very happy." He stretched out his hand and took the hand of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Amidst the melodious and slightly frivolous waltz music, the two people just held hands and danced under the lights.

Although they were among a large group of people, they were not affected at all and danced as if no one else was around.

Because they wore masks on their faces, they couldn't see each other's faces clearly and could only express their feelings to each other with their eyes. But strangely enough, this only added a bit more fun to them.

Their eyes never left each other, they shuttled among the crowd like butterflies in flowers, dancing tirelessly, enjoying the fun of being undisturbed and unnoticed, and they also had some dangerous feelings for each other.

brewing in it.

After an unknown amount of time, the two people finally stopped.

Sophie was obviously exhausted. At the same time, due to the exhaustion of her physical strength, she began to feel that the air here was a little turbid and unbearable, and she began to feel uncomfortable.

"Are you okay?" Aigron asked concernedly.

"No... I'm fine." Sophie's face turned a little pale, but she still shook her head, "Just let me rest."

"I'll take you over to rest." Aigron grabbed her waist, then helped her walk out of the dancing crowd and came to the edge of the dance floor.

He asked for a glass of wine from the waiter and handed it to Sophie. Sophie drank it in one breath, and then her face became rosy again.

"Okay... I feel much more comfortable." She adjusted her breathing again, and then smiled at Aigron, "Franz, I am very happy, I am really happy... You let me enjoy a very

lovely night."

"The night is not over yet." Aigron replied with a smile.

"Yes, it's not over yet, I even hope it never ends." Sophie looked at him with a smile on her face, "Okay, let me rest for a while, and then we go out and take a look, the air here is starting to feel a bit...

It’s uncomfortable.”

She sat and rested for a while, then cheered up again, "Okay, let's go!"

"Okay, Sophia." Aigron stretched out his hand again and let Sophie hold his hand.

Then, he took Sophie and quietly walked out of the still noisy theater.

Seeing the two His Highnesses walking out, the people who came with them immediately followed them.

Only one person is left here.

It wasn't that Chanel didn't want to leave with the two Highnesses, it was just that she had been ordered before, so she could only stay here and enjoy the "free" night that she had never expected.

Although she was dressed in fancy clothes, she was not happy at all.

She stood at the railing on the second floor and looked down at the crowd of dancers below, but she felt as if she was in a desert.

Her heart was filled with frustration. No one came to order her anymore, so no one needed her, and no one seemed to care about what she wanted to do.

What she fears most is returning to her past life of despair.

Your Highness...will you abandon yourself one day?

This terrible thought lingered in her mind.

Breathing the stuffy air, she felt a little dizzy.

"Miss, do you want to dance with me?" A greeting suddenly came from the side.

"No, no, I don't want to dance." Chanel refused without thinking, without even looking at the other party.

She just wanted to rest, get through this uncomfortable moment quickly, and then return to His Highness' side to get rid of the suffocating fear of losing everything again.

"Miss, you don't look happy? Why don't you dance with me?" The voice next to her rang again, as if she was still stubbornly trying to invite her, "I think I can make you feel better."

Get up."

"Didn't I say I don't want to dance?!" Chanel couldn't bear it anymore. She raised her head angrily and scolded the other party, "Stop pestering me! Go find someone else!"

While scolding, she looked at the other person.

He is about the same height as His Highness, and like most people here, he is wearing retro clothing, a tricorn hat on his head, and a mask on his face, so he can't see his face clearly - of course, she can't

Don't care what the other person looks like.

But from the sound of his voice, he was definitely not that old, probably around twenty years old.

"It's really strange that you come to this place but don't want to dance." The other party was not irritated by Chanel's attitude, but still looked at Chanel calmly, "In that case, what's the point of you coming here?

"

"Do I still need you to take care of what I'm doing here? Just mind your own business!" Chanel frowned, "Okay, sir, use this clumsy trick of yours instead.

Darling, don’t waste your time here, you’ll have plenty of prey here tonight.”

The young man opposite did not reply this time, but just looked at her quietly, as if waiting for something.

Chanel's mind cleared up a little, and then she seemed to feel that something was wrong.

Next, she quickly realized that something was wrong——

The other party has been speaking French to me.

She opened her eyes slightly.

"Good evening, miss." The young man opposite bowed to her, "Am I honored to know your name?"

Before Chanel could answer, he gently took off his mask.
