"Thank you".

"I don't need any thanks." Teresa looked at the young man expectantly. "As long as His Highness can grow up healthily, become a hero that people look up to, and get the honor he deserves, I will be satisfied."

"It's not as simple as it sounds, and there will always be a lot of price to pay." Aigron shook his head.

"That's why it's interesting, isn't it?" Teresa still insisted on her opinion, "In life, you always have to make a choice, as long as you recognize your goal and then go on unswervingly, then the sacrifice you have made for it All costs are meaningful and worthwhile."

"That's right." Aigron thought deeply, and then smiled inadvertently, "But why do these words sound a bit old-fashioned? You are only a teenager."

"Your Highness, aren't you the same way? If you want to talk about me, you are more serious than me." Teresa couldn't help laughing, and then sighed, "Being born in our family, it is also true that I lost the fun of childhood early. The inevitable price."

Then, she looked at Aigron again, "Then let's talk about things that belong to our age!"

"What do you mean?" Aegron was a little surprised.

"Come with me."

Teresa waved her hand lightly, then turned around and took Aigron along the stairs in the living room to the second floor.

After walking through the corridor, Teresa came to a door and opened it.

As soon as the door was opened, there was the smell of ink mixed with incense, and Egron immediately smelled it. This incense was the same kind as Teresa gave him.

This smell lifted him up suddenly, and then he followed Teresa into the room, and found that the room was very large, with rows of bookshelves inside, and all kinds of hardcover books were placed in different categories. bookshelf.

"This is our study room." Teresa explained in a low voice, and then she pointed to a closed door next to her, "That's my bedroom...I specifically asked for it so that I can sleep without waking my family. loitering here without the circumstances."

Aigron glanced around, "There are quite a lot of books here."

"Yeah, enough for me to watch for a long, long time, to pass the time." Teresa nodded. "If you are bored here, you can also take a look here."

Aigron casually took a thick hardcover book from the bookshelf, opened it, and found that it was actually the book "On the Pendulum Clock" written by the famous French scientist Huygens in the 17th century. In addition to the text, there are many exquisite illustrations in the mechanical components and mechanics of the pendulum clock. The whole book is worth a lot of money.

He looked at the bookshelves placed everywhere, and there were similar hardcover books everywhere. In terms of the value of the books alone, it must be a lot of money...

After all, Grand Duke Karl is the younger brother of the emperor, and he inherited the inheritance of the Duke of Cieszyn. Although their family doesn't like to show off, in many ways, their wealth can still be seen.

"What kind of books does Your Highness like to read?" Teresa asked suddenly when he was still thinking.

"Me... I read more mixed. As long as it is interesting, I can watch anything. Of course, it is not easy to meet the standard of 'interesting'." Aigron replied.

"Then you should have read the works of many writers, right? After all, you can write yourself." Theresa asked again.

"That's indeed a lot." Aigron nodded.

"Then whose work do you like the most?" Teresa asked curiously.

"Balzac." Eggron replied without thinking.

"Balzac? Who is that? I've never heard of this name." Teresa blinked curiously, "If even His Highness has heard of this name, it stands to reason that he should already be famous... ..."

That is natural. At this time, Balzac was still engaged in the publishing industry with the dream of making a fortune. In the next few years, he also set up a printing factory, a type foundry, etc.,

The results were unsuccessful and left him with debts which he did not finally pay off until the end of his life.

He wrote so many long stories in his life, and the debt pressure must be one of the main reasons...

At this moment, most of his works have not yet come out, and it is even more impossible for them to be known.

Aigron didn't intend to respond to Teresa's question directly, but just confused it vaguely.

"He is not a well-known writer. I don't even know how old he is or where he is. I have only seen his works by chance. I have to say that he is very talented and awe-inspiring."

Seeing what Aigron said, Teresa became even more curious, but she could also see that the boy didn't want to say more, so she stopped asking this question.

"Your Highness, I told you last time that I think your writing is very good." She walked to the desk and picked up the manuscript on it, "The characters are vivid and the lines are full of emotion. I like this romantic style."

"Thank you for the compliment, I think I got more motivation from it." Eggron replied with a smile.

Although this was not his goal originally, but when he is praised by others, his mood will always become a little better.

"Have you ever thought about sending it to the theater?" Teresa asked suddenly, "It would be a pity if it was left in the dust like this. It should be loved by more people."

Aegron hesitated for a moment, and then decided not to tell her about his private affairs with Sophie, so he shook his head slightly.

"I haven't decided what to do yet, so... let's just leave it at that. Anyway, in my current situation, I can't spread the word."

Sure enough, you still have to hide it from me.

Teresa was a little disappointed, but this was something she had expected a long time ago, so she didn't show any signs of it.

"Your Highness, can you tell me that you returned the script to someone other than me?" Her expression suddenly became serious.

"Why do you ask that?" Aigron was a little puzzled.

"Recently, I heard that a new play was released in a theater in Vienna, and the response was pretty good—" Teresa blinked and continued to look at the young man, "Although I haven't watched it myself, I heard that , the plot is almost exactly the same as your script, I thought your Highness, you have already figured out a way to get the script released, so you haven’t? Then this is too coincidental..."

Egron was speechless immediately, but looked at Teresa suspiciously.

Although Teresa didn't say it clearly, he could understand the implication - she had obviously guessed what she was doing.

Why did she know the news so quickly? Did someone leak it to her? Or is it really just that they are more informed about the news in the city?

The most critical question is, how much does she know and what is she going to do?

In any case, it's no fun playing guessing games now, and Aigron could only shrug his shoulders.

"Well, I'm sorry Teresa, I'll tell you the truth - I did manage to get the screenplay into the theatres. You know it's not the right time to do this in my situation, So I did it anonymously... please keep it secret for me."

"I see! It seems that I was worrying for nothing." Teresa suddenly realized and nodded, and then smiled again, "Your Highness seems to be unwilling to be unknown, this is really touching... It's a pity I wasn't of much help."

After a pause, she asked again, "Are you planning to keep performing your own work in that theater?"

"Yes, if conditions permit." Eggron nodded.

"Then, do you mind if I become a regular audience there?" Teresa asked cautiously, "I'd like to see how your play will look on the stage, I can book a box there, every time I have you Check out the program preview."

"Can I still restrict your freedom?" Aigron was a little frustrated in his heart, but on the surface he could only cheer up. "If you want to go there, you can go there anytime, but I hope you will pack lightly and not disturb other people."

It's not that he dislikes Teresa, but as far as his plan is concerned, the fewer relevant factors the better, and the fewer people in the way, the better. If Teresa suddenly gets involved, he doesn't know what will happen Influence.

Although he didn't think Teresa had any hostility toward him, would Teresa help him, or at least acquiesce to him, if she knew his real plan?

He can't count on it.

Teresa saw the boy's frustration, so she remained silent for a while.

She didn't ask how he did it all, in fact she avoided the name Sophie altogether so as not to provoke him.

She just needs to achieve her goal—as long as His Highness accepts that she appears in the most important part of his life, then everything will be easy to handle, and everything needs a beginning.

But this does not mean that she is not angry in her heart. In fact, she is very angry. This is the treatment she should have enjoyed, but it was stolen by Sophie somehow. In the end, she had to work hard to get a beginning .

And the young man's depression also proved how unwilling he was to let go of the time with Sophie.

Thinking of this, she felt a little pain in her heart.

The inexplicable frustration made her lower her head in frustration, and she managed to pull herself together again.

"Your Highness, is it possible that in your heart, I am still a person who likes to show off?" She replied jokingly, "Don't worry, I will come and go like a ghost, and I will not cause trouble to anyone. I just ...just wanted to witness something that you might not have been able to see, and write to tell you."

After finishing speaking, she invited Aigron to continue walking inside, then bypassed a screen, opened the door, and led him to the balcony.

There are several seats on the balcony, and the view is very good, you can see the scenery in the distance.

It was the afternoon at this time, the light was very good and sufficient, looking around, the green of the grass mixed with the leaves of various colors, it was as colorful as an oil painting.

"When I have free time, I will read a book here. If I am tired, I will rest while looking at the distant scenery." Teresa smiled and introduced to him, "Especially when the weather is suitable. Your Highness, please sit down." -"

After speaking, she sat down with Aigron, and the two sat side by side, watching the scenery while blowing the wind.

"It's really comfortable, isn't it?" Teresa asked with a smile after a while.

"This is indeed a rare enjoyment of life." Aigron replied, "Sometimes I also envy you."

"If you are envious, you can do it too." Teresa closed her eyes slightly, "The door here is always open for you, and Mom will be very happy to receive you."

Egron didn't doubt Teresa's words. Without a doubt, he had become a distinguished guest of Grand Duke Karl's family.

The life here is indeed very comfortable and warm.

However, this is not what he really wants.

He reminded himself once again that getting close to this family was just to use the help of Grand Duke Karl to improve his treatment - in fact, he had already received these.

"Teresa, I am very grateful for your warm hospitality to me. It's a pity that I have no way to repay it now. After all, I live in the palace, and it is not under my control." He couldn't help expressing his feelings, "If I have a If it’s a real home, then I will entertain you even more.”

But what I want is to be in that real home. Teresa thought.

"This wish can be easily realized - if you like, you can also buy a piece of land near here in the future, and be a neighbor with your parents, isn't it good?" She replied with a smile, "Or, directly with They said they'd be happy to carve a piece of land out of here and give it to you—"

Teresa's words were almost expressive, and Aigron didn't know how to interface.

"Why, are you moved?" Teresa asked with a smile.

"Metternich would not be happy to see that." Aigron found an excuse.

"Metternich can't control our family's affairs." Teresa replied nonchalantly, "No matter how bossy he is, he can't do anything to us, can he? Besides, Eggron, you are not a prisoner, can he still You are not allowed to set up a family business for yourself? He can't keep you in the palace forever, can he?"

"It's not that simple..." Aigron could only smile wryly, and continued to decline, "I'm a very useful pawn to him, and I won't be willing to let go easily."

"Of course I know this. Everyone can't help themselves, especially Your Highness." Teresa also smiled wryly, "But chess pieces have different uses, don't they? I think for someone like Your Highness, instead of Toughness is worse than probation, and Dad will agree."

"Your father didn't act like that. Although we only met a few times, he scolded me louder than Metternich." Aigron shrugged.

"Father is used to treating his family like the army, especially boys... But don't get me wrong, he already loves you very much." Teresa replied with a smile, "It's you, you didn't show mercy just now. "

"You shouldn't hold grudges, it's your father who asked me to do it! I have no other choice." Aigron protested.

"It's okay, I'm just joking, don't be nervous." Teresa stretched out her hand, stroked Aigron's face, and then replied with a wink, "Your Highness, I have been looking at you just now...you are so handsome , if it wasn't because your opponent was my father, I would have cheered for you a long time ago."

When she swept her fingers across his face, Aigron's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

And Teresa's eyes have undoubtedly revealed her heart.

"Your Highness, I will tell my father later that since the empire wants to win over you, it is only right to give you a place." Teresa's eyes were a little foggy, "Now, sit with me for a while, Aegron, this is our time..."
