Eagle’s Glory

“We’re sure to have better memories too!”

Seeing Eggron so excited, Princess Sophie couldn't help but smile.

"Are you happy like this? Now you're like a child again... Well, it's settled like this. After we get there, we will be Sophia Memmingen and Franz Memmingen, you can give me Remember it, lest you make a mistake and embarrass me!"

"Well, I remember." Aigron bent over excitedly, "At that time, you will be my own sister, and I will do whatever you ask me to do, and I will not recognize anyone except you!"

"It's not serious again!" Princess Sophie glared at him. "I really don't know who you learned to be so glib. Is this the national talent of the French?"

"Even if I have this national talent, I will only say it to those who love me." Aigron replied solemnly. "Your Highness, I am willing to do things to please you because you have always treated me so kindly. I say this from the bottom of my heart. I only hate that I didn't speak well enough to make you happy."

"Oh, I really can't help you." Seeing that she couldn't win the young man, Princess Sophie could only shrug her shoulders and gave up the idea of ​​correcting him.

However, she scolded, but what woman doesn't like to hear such sweet talk? Especially people who I already have a deep affection for speak out.

In this way, the two returned to Aigron's residence while chatting and laughing. He was going to move the easel back to his room.

As soon as the door was opened, the maid Chanel rushed to the door.

"Your Highness!"

Seeing that he was moving things, Chanel hurriedly greeted him, reaching out to take the easel and drawing board.

"It's okay, let me do it myself." Aigron shook his head, "The oil painting is not dry yet, it would be a pity if it is accidentally damaged."

"Understood." Chanel obeyed the order and withdrew her hand, but she was always worried and kept watching Aigron.

"Chanel, my body has recovered very well, such a little physical activity is not a hindrance at all." Aigron said with a smile, "You should help me tidy up the place, I will hang the drawing board."

"Okay!" Chanel nodded, then quickly cleaned up the corner of the wall, took down the hanging oil paintings and decorations, and then helped Egron place the easel and drawing board there.

Princess Sophie has been watching, until they packed up, she spoke to Chanel.

"Chanel, it seems that you take good care of His Highness."

Chanel stopped, looked at Her Royal Highness respectfully and replied, "Because of your order, I must take care of Your Highness with all my heart."

"Is it just because of my order?" The princess smiled slightly, "I see that you seem to be very happy, much happier than when you were by my side."

"..." Chanel paused for a moment, a little surprised and flustered, not knowing how to answer.

"Don't panic, I'm just praising you. Your Highness is able to recover so quickly. You are indeed credited. I will reward you in the future - thank you for fulfilling your duties as a maid." Her Royal Highness continued to look at her with a smile , "Go and get some drinks for me and His Highness, we have just stood outside for a long time, and we are all a little thirsty."

"Yes." Chanel hurriedly left the room as if she had been pardoned.

After Chanel left for a short while, Princess Sophie turned to look at Aigron with some teasing in her eyes.

"Your Highness, why did you say this to her just now?" Of course Aigron knew that the other party had deliberately called Chanel away just now, so he was a little puzzled.

"There's something wrong with the way she looks at you." Princess Sophie replied.

For a moment, the horror made Aigron almost lose his composure, and even his breathing almost stopped.

What did Princess Sophie discover just now? Did something go wrong in your plan before it really started?

"You...what do you mean?" He forced himself to maintain his composure, and then asked.

"Didn't you notice the way she looked at you?" Princess Sophie asked back, "That look is not the feeling that an ordinary servant should have for the master. I can detect it just by intuition. She has abnormal feelings towards you." Strong feelings——so, Eggron, you really have it, and you have been able to do this in just a dozen days..."

Her Royal Highness's tone was a bit strange, but Egron had difficulty feeling it for a while, instead he was worried about a more important question-how much did Her Highness notice?

"Is that really the case?" He sneered, as if he didn't quite believe it, "Then why did she do that?"

"Although she is a maid, she is a young girl after all, and she is probably still dreaming of a prince." Princess Sophie replied with a smile, "This kind of thing is actually quite common outside. If something happens, and then use it to turn around and decide, at worst, you can get a large sum of money as a reward and hush money... You just think it's strange because you have too little experience..."

Ah...false alarm. Aegron secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that although Her Royal Highness noticed that Chanel's attitude was a bit strange, she didn't think about the dangerous place, but instead thought about the most common situation in the world.

That's good...

Although he was relieved in his heart, he didn't show it on the surface. Instead, he seemed a little confused and embarrassed.

"Then what should I do?"

"So, you look like you've grown up, but you're still just a child..." Her Royal Highness impatiently raised her hand and pinched his ears, "Has she acted out of line with you recently? Have you ever seduced you?"

"No... I didn't feel it." Eggron shook his head hastily. "She's pretty disciplined."

"That's good, she still knows a little bit." Princess Sophie nodded. "Seeing how well she takes care of you, let's do this first. If she does anything out of line to you, just tell me, and I will let her receive the education she deserves. "

"What education...?" Aigron couldn't help asking.

"Well, I don't need you to ask me~" The princess smiled, "She is one of the maids I brought from Bavaria, no one in Bavaria will remember her, and no one in Austria will care about her existence, I think She can do whatever she wants."

When referring to Chanel, Her Royal Highness's tone was flat and slightly contemptuous, as if she was discussing another creature.

Although she treated him very kindly and almost responded to every request, the princess was a princess after all, and it was impossible for her to think advanced enough to treat everyone as an equal. In her eyes, Chanel is only part of the dowry she brought from the Kingdom of Bavaria to the Austrian Empire after all, and she can dispose of it at will.

Thinking of this, Aigron felt a little sad.

"Hey, what do you think of me as? The Bloody Queen?" Seeing his complicated expression, Princess Sophie couldn't help but glared at him again, "If she really dares to mess around, I won't let others She sank to the bottom of the Danube, at most she would be reprimanded and fired, and let her die on her own..."

Her words were short and plain, but Eggron heard a flash of inspiration, and he remembered the words.

As they talked here, Chanel re-entered, holding a tray with two cups of coffee on it.

Steaming coffee was placed on the table, and the two of them sat on the sofa and chatted while watching the scenery outside the window. They also drank coffee and spent some time in the afternoon comfortably. Princess Sophie didn't get up until the evening leave.

After she left, Chanel bent down to clean up the table, but Aigron stopped her.

"Chanel, just now Her Royal Highness became suspicious of you."

Chanel was startled, but not surprised.

"It seems so... No wonder she treated me that way just now."

"However, her suspicion is not about our plan, but..." Aigron said that he was a little embarrassed, "She suspects that you want to seduce me for profit."

"Ah! Ah?" Chanel suddenly exclaimed, and after a while she blushed again, "Your Highness...the princess...she..."

"It's all right now, but you have to pay attention in the future. If Her Royal Highness becomes suspicious, maybe others will become suspicious in the future." Aigron interrupted her, "I'm asking you a very important question, be honest Answer me—does she know your life experience?"

"I don't know." Chanel shook her head, "In order to prevent us from being bullied and discriminated against, His Royal Highness Eugene would help hide our identities when he adopted us, and later when he was sent to be the maid of His Royal Highness, no one cared. Where did my ancestors come from..."

"That's good..." Eggron breathed a sigh of relief, and then changed the subject. "You seem to be afraid of her?"

"It's better to say that you don't have to be afraid of her..." Chanel replied with a wry smile, "She is just so kind to you, but she is different from us... she has always been strict."

"Ah?" Eggron was very surprised, but he didn't realize that Her Highness the Princess actually looked like this in the eyes of others.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying bad things about her, she just treats people strictly, she doesn't deliberately bully others, and rewards us quite generously." Chanel whispered, "Besides, people like me usually There is no chance to offend His Highness..."

Speaking of this, she seemed to think of something again, and continued, "Not only to those of us who came with her, but also to other people in the palace, she is also unceremonious, even though she has only been here for more than two years , but the female officials in the palace have been silent in front of her, even her husband has been punished to be submissive, no one dares to speak more, almost no one in the palace dares to go against her will Those who do this will be severely punished immediately. Therefore, those who secretly hold grudges are rumored to say..."

"What do the rumors say?" Aigron asked.

"She said she treats you differently because she likes beautiful boys, just like the lady in "Don Juan"." Chanel blushed in embarrassment, "I haven't seen that thing so I don't know, but I don't think it should be a nice word..."

In this year, although the great British poet Byron died in 1824, his long poem "Don Juan" has already become popular in the mainland. The woman Donna Julia had an affair, causing an uproar in the local high society. For the safety of her son, Don Juan's mother had to send him to travel in Europe, and the story of Don Juan began.

With this allusion, needless to say, you can understand what the intention is.

However, in the court, similar gossip and gossip will always be indispensable, and you can't stop it if you want to.

"Then you... what do you think?" Eggron suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and then asked.

"Of course we won't take this kind of rumors seriously." Chanel shook her head first, but quickly lowered her head again, "However...seeing the usual interactions between Her Royal Highness and you, to be honest, I'm also a little I believe that your relationship is extraordinary..."

puff ha ha ha

Aegron couldn't help laughing.

Yes, the others are not all blind. The two people usually have such a close attitude, but Her Royal Highness still treats her with a very contrasting attitude. It would be strange if there was no gossip.

"Then... does Her Royal Highness know?"

"No one dares to ask this, but I think...she should know, she knows all the troubles in the palace." Chanel thought for a while, and then replied.

So... Even so, she didn't care, she still interacted with me nonchalantly, cared for me lovingly, and never showed any negative emotions in front of her.

Aegron nodded slightly. "Okay, I see, thank you."
