Chanel stood there in a daze, watching her dance partner disappear into the crowd.

Everything that happened just now was like a dream, and now she almost doubted whether she just experienced a fantasy dream.

She took a deep breath, then pinched her hand hard.

The pain from her fingers told her that all of this was not a dream. Just now, a young man named Napoleon-Louis Bonaparte really found her and agreed to help His Highness escape.

It seems that in this world, I am not the only one who possesses the quality of loyalty, there are also people who remember His Highness, and others who remember the empire...

Chanel spent a lot of effort not to let herself lose her composure in the public.

She's in a tizzy right now, and although she doesn't actually have any real plans right now, she's already thinking about the future.

She looked around, everything was so brilliant, it made her whole body happy, her face was reddish and radiant, and she was completely different from the depressed and depressed look a quarter of an hour ago.

Now there is only one thing left - tell His Highness the good news as soon as possible, and let him judge how to deal with it next.

Your Highness... Come back quickly! We are saved! She urged again and again in her heart.

At this time, Egron, of course, couldn't hear the maid's voice. In fact, he was immersed in another kind of happiness.

He was accompanying Her Royal Highness Sophie, walking through the streets of Vienna.

Normally, Vienna at night is quite quiet and boring, but it is quite different during the Carnival period. The lights are bright everywhere, and the citizens in ordinary clothes and fancy clothes are bustling in the streets, enjoying the rare indulgence of the year. Chance.

Their main purpose is to take a look at the flowers, and they don't have any special travel plans, but it is said that there will be a fireworks show tonight, so they decided to go to the venue of the fireworks show.

The place where the fireworks show is held is the Prater area in the center of Vienna. It was originally a meadow that existed as a royal hunting ground, but since 1766, ordinary citizens have been allowed to enter there, and eventually it has become a city park. Of course, in During the carnival, it will also become the largest gathering place for citizens.

After coming out of the theater, the two of them held hands and headed towards their destination.

It was quite a distance, but they didn't mind it.

They walked along Hernals Street, and none of the citizens along the way noticed that these two people wearing Bavarian costumes and masks had such special identities.

Although it was a cold winter night outside, Sophie couldn't see much fatigue on her face. Instead, she was planning everywhere and admiring the novel things she found.

When they walked to the city center, a huge castle lay in their sight.

Sophie raised her head and glanced at the huge towering castle.

This is the old palace in the center of Vienna - the Hofburg Palace. Before the Schönbrunn Palace was built, the Habsburg royal family enjoyed the worship of the people in this palace. Even now, every major ceremony, His Majesty the Emperor will also bring members of the royal family here to show the majesty of the Habsburg family and the Austrian Empire.

When the Habsburg family first started to make a fortune in the 13th century, it was just an ordinary castle. However, with the expansion of the power of the Habsburg family and the expansion of the ruling area, the castle was expanded again and again, and finally became the castle. Luxurious palace. The palace is built according to the terrain, and is divided into two parts: the upper house and the lower house. There are more than 1,400 rooms with different decorations, forming a huge building complex.

Although the authority of the Habsburg family has been dimming day by day, this magnificent palace still stands here quietly, engraved with the passage of time. Even if this family no longer rules the country, it will be left to Austria as a historical legacy.

As the daughter-in-law of His Majesty the Emperor, Princess Sophie has of course been to this old palace many times, but it is quite a novel experience to stand at such a distance and look at it.

"You can imagine how much tax money it has spent." She suddenly felt emotional, "No wonder the common people think of revolution, but such a large palace is treated as a display, such a luxurious waste, it will make people unconvinced if you think about it Bar."

"It's not like what you would say." Aigron felt very strange about her exclamation.

"Aigron, what do you think of me? An idiot who only knows how to squander and enjoy?" Sophie gave him a sideways glance, "If it was decades ago, it would be understandable to be unaware of all this, but after France After decades of trouble, people without heart and mind will notice it... We are probably just sitting on the crater. No one knows when the rolling lava under our feet will erupt and burn us down. There is no ashes left. Fortunately, my parents managed to suppress this lava, so that I can enjoy the glory now, but God knows, what will happen to the next generation? Maybe one day outside the Hofburg It might also be a series of guillotines..."

Egron didn't expect that Sophie, who always seemed domineering, still had such pessimistic thoughts deep in her heart.

"You are too pessimistic, maybe things won't get so bad." He comforted the other party, "Even though the lava is scary, there is always a way to solve it."

"Pessimistic? I'm not pessimistic, I'm just being realistic. I can't be realistic in this age." Sophie smiled, and then answered with her head held high, "I know, everything I have enjoyed since I was a child is absolutely Most people don't dare to think about it, my annual expenses are the income of thousands of people... so I have to bear some risks for this, isn't it fair? I stepped on so many people's heads, Then they also have the right to take revenge, if something really happens, then I will try my best to resist and use all means to suppress it, if I can’t resist, it will be their ability to go to the guillotine, I will not pretend to be pitiful and complain to God.”

Aigron suddenly didn't know what to say.

Is this the extreme of free and easy, or is it born with no scruples?

"And what are you going to do about it?" he asked again.

"I plan to do a lot of things so that this empire will not be overthrown at least until I die, and then just leave the mess to future generations." Sophie still smiled, "But now... Anyway, His Majesty and May are responsible for major events." It's not my turn to worry about Tigne, so I have to enjoy myself in time, and let myself have no regrets before I go to the guillotine."

"Can't you stop guillotining at the carnival?" Eggron protested resignedly. "That's really not a word that cheers you up."

"Oh, I'm sorry! I've spoiled your interest..." Sophie hugged the young man, and ended the slightly heavy topic, "If the French plague had any positive effect on me, it would be it What made your father made you, Aigron... and when I think about it, I don't care if lava rolls under my feet."

"No matter how terrible the lava is, I won't let it burn you." Eggron looked at Sophie and solemnly promised.

"Okay, I remember this sentence, Eggron, don't play tricks in the future!" Sophie immediately became happy.

While they were talking and laughing, their footsteps unconsciously approached the high wall outside the Hofburg Palace.

"Hey! Stay where you are, don't get close!" A guard came up and blocked them, "This is not a place you can approach!"

Then he looked up and down, looked at the clothes of the two of them, and probably understood in his heart. "Are you tourists? This is the palace, please leave quickly!"

"Who says I'm a tourist? This is my place!" Princess Sophie took off her mask suddenly, and then yelled at the guard seemingly angrily, "I am Your Royal Highness, how dare you speak to me like that?"

"Come on, if you're a princess, then I'm the crown prince of the empire." The guard waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, stop making trouble, let's go. I'm in a good mood today, otherwise you won't So easy."

Aigron was afraid that something would happen to Sophie, so he pulled Sophie away even after persuading her.

"Hahahaha..." After walking away, Sophie covered her mouth and giggled, "It seems that I'm not as famous as I thought."

"It's too difficult to expect an ordinary person to be able to see and remember your face at close range." Aigron replied with a wry smile, "Besides, no one will believe that you really came here like this. "

He could already see that Sophie was enjoying playing tricks on people.

"Yeah, at least tonight, I'm Sophia Memmingen, a foreigner who has nothing to do with the empire." Sophie narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked at the young man, "Who cares what these Austrians do?" Look!"

She had just drank wine after dancing, and her face was still a little flushed. With the help of the dim light, she could see that her eyes seemed to be shining brightly.

They walked along the street for a while, and came near Central Park.

But at this moment, a sharp sound came from mid-air.

Eggron and Sophie looked up to the sky subconsciously, and found that a large group of light spots quickly rose from the ground into the air, like a group of fireflies.

Soon, these light spots exploded in mid-air, making a huge roar.

Accompanied by the roaring sound, there are dazzling patterns one by one. The fireworks carefully crafted by Italian craftsmen, with colorful shapes, are a gift to the citizens of Vienna for the carnival.

Accompanied by the changing patterns in the air, the audience around the park let out cheers one after another, celebrating the arrival of the festival.

Fireworks exploded continuously in the air, and various colors and shapes formed a colorful skyline, and Aigron watched it carefully, enjoying the visual experience that he had never had the opportunity to get, and forgot the time for a while. So did Sophie standing next to him, immersed in the dazzling performance.

After an unknown amount of time, the speed and scale of the fireworks finally dropped, which meant that tonight's fireworks show had also come to an end.

With a little regret, Eggron sighed.

"Good times are always short, aren't they?" Sophie also sighed regretfully, "But at least, our trip was worthwhile."

"You're right." Aigron cheered up again. "I feel great."

"Don't be discouraged, Aegron." Sophie raised her hand and touched the young man's face, "We will have a chance to see it later."

"I hope so." Eggron nodded.

Although he agrees on the surface, he knows in his heart that this is the first time he has enjoyed such a dazzling show in Vienna, and it may also be the last time he will watch a fireworks display in Vienna for many years.

I don't know when the next time will be...

"Will you walk with me for a while?" Sophie suggested again. "Let's go and see the river, and then we'll go back."

"Okay." Aigron drove away the slight depression in his heart, and regained his energy.

They walked east along the road next to the park, and it didn't take long before they came to the Danube River passing through Vienna.

After a short walk along the embankment, they walked onto a bridge that spanned both banks.

They stood by the railing of the bridge, breathed the cold wind crossing the river, quietly looked at the river under their feet, and the lights of Wanjia on both sides of the river.

The wide and quiet Danube flows slowly under their feet, as if it has not changed since ancient times.

Generations of people have come and gone in Vienna, but the Danube will always stay here, nourishing and nourishing the city.

"What a beautiful river...it connects Bavaria and Austria." Sophie looked at the river flowing upstream, and sighed softly, "Bavaria..."

The winter wind in the middle of the night was harsher than in the daytime, not to mention it was by the river, Sophie shivered suddenly.

Aigron stretched out his hand and lifted her into his arms.

Sophie didn't struggle, but quietly enjoyed each other's tenderness.

"You can also take me for a Bavarian," Aigron whispered. "If it makes you feel better."

"You?" Sophie couldn't help laughing, "You don't deserve Bavaria at all!"

"Frantz Memmingen is the name you gave me, so I will always bear the brand of Bavaria in my spirit. I am willing to accept this result, because I want to stand with Sophia Memmingen forever. One side." Eggron replied solemnly.

Sophie's eyes widened.

"is that true?"

Aegron lowered his head and kissed him suddenly.

The two were on the bridge, kissing like no one else was there. The passers-by didn't care about the small episode of the carnival, and only the river under their feet was silently witnessing them.

It was a long time before they parted their lips.

"Aigron, it's time for us to go back..." Sophie said weakly.

Aegron hesitated.

He wanted to take that step, but he didn't dare to say it when the words came to his lips.

He didn't know the result of asking, but he knew that if he flinched today, he would never dare to ask again.

So, he boldly put forward new requirements.

"You should be very tired, why don't we go to the hotel to have a rest?"

Then, the young man looked at Sophie, waiting for her answer.
