One Hundred and Eighty-One, Agreed

Under Aiglon's gaze, Sophie stood motionless, seemingly deep in thought.

Aiglon hesitated for a moment, but decided to walk over to comfort her.

Although he knew that if he went now, Sophie might get angry and vent his anger, but he also knew that he could only handle this matter by himself, and Chanel would not be able to help at all.

Sophie had already helped him so much, and it was okay for him to bear a little anger.

"Your Highness...it's already so late, let's go back." He walked to Sophie and whispered.

As if she had been awakened, Sophie's eyes regained focus, and then focused on the young man.

To Aigron's expectation, Sophie didn't get angry or even show anger. She just looked at him with mixed feelings, more like she felt guilty inside.

"What's wrong with you?" Aigron was a little surprised by Sophie's reaction.

"It's nothing, Aigron." Sophie shook her head gently, "Let's go."

Although he didn't know why Sophie held back her anger, since the matter ended so easily, Aigron was relieved.

So, he said no more, and the two walked out of the theater arm in arm and came to the carriage.

In the Mercedes-Benz carriage, Sophie still looked thoughtful, which made Agron a little worried - he even wondered if she was mad at Teresa.

"Your Highness, what exactly did you say to Teresa?" He couldn't help but ask, "Why do you look so depressed?"

"We talked about something about you, Aigron." Sophie glanced at him and then replied.

"...I'm sorry." Aigron didn't know what to say, so he had to apologize.

"This is not your fault, it was the fault of those old bastards. Who can I blame you for?" Sophie sighed, "I appreciate that you are willing to delay the matter until now for me."

I don’t know why, but she seemed more sad than angry at the moment, "Teresa said that I was selfish, and I don’t want to admit it, but isn’t that the case? I don’t allow you to accept this marriage, and I obviously treat you very badly. Unfortunately, you never complained to me and silently abided by my agreement... You made sacrifices for me, but I took it for granted! I have never been willing to face this fact, so I just doubled my compensation for you! , but what kind of compensation is this! Today, someone finally pointed it out to my face without mercy. I have nowhere to hide and can only face the reality. This really makes me feel painful and ashamed. "

"It doesn't have to be so serious. This is not a sacrifice." Aigron laughed. "The matter has already passed. There is nothing to mention."

Aiglon was so calm and relaxed, of course, because he had already decided to run away, so the marriage with Archduke Karl's family was already meaningless to him.

If he was in another situation and had other plans, would he really give the same answer when faced with the test of life? He wasn't sure.

Of course, there is no need to say these words.

"I look down on everyone, and I never felt that I owed them anything, but fate allowed me to meet you, and everything changed completely..." Sophie blinked her eyes, as if she was about to cry, " Aigron, have you never resented me?"

"It's okay." Aigron smiled handsomely and touched her cheek. "What you gave me is enough for me. I don't expect anything else. I'm not used to begging others." Give me something."

Sophie was so moved that she threw herself into his arms desperately, hugged him tightly, "Kiss me!"

Eggron did so.

After a long time, the two separated their lips.

"Your Highness, are you feeling better?" Aigron asked with a smile.

"Much better..." Sophie smiled again, and then replied with a blush, "I really wish I could stick to you like this."

After making a joke, she continued, "Aiglon, I have thought about it carefully. There is no need for you to keep a promise for me that will only harm yourself."

"You...what do you mean?" Aigron was suddenly surprised.

"If His Majesty makes a strong request, then there is no need for you to disobey his will. If you offend him, you will be in vain for your own misfortune." Sophie replied in a low voice, "I don't want to do it for my own selfish reasons. As a result, your future will be ruined.”

Aigron blinked and couldn't figure out why Sophie behaved like this instead of getting angry after being criticized once.

"You...have you forgiven Teresa?" he asked quietly.

"No, I will never forgive her in my life. This shameless bastard actually dared to steal my most precious treasure, and he dared to talk to me like that..." Sophie's eyes finally flashed with angry flames, "I Just for your sake, I am unable to protect you in the face of His Majesty’s anger, and I should not harm you.”

As she spoke, Sophie suddenly burst into tears, "If the price of my willfulness is to bring you misfortune, then I would rather swallow my anger."

Although her expression was as calm as possible, Aigron could still feel the pain in her heart at this moment - for an arrogant person like her, being able to say such words must be heartbreaking.

"Don't think too much..." She suddenly smiled reluctantly, "Fool, I haven't given up yet! I will try my best to hinder this marriage, and I will try my best to stay in Bavaria. While thinking of a way... By the way, my twin sister is not married yet, maybe everything is possible! I will not admit it until the last moment when there is no hope... I just want to tell you that you have sacrificed for me. That's enough, you shouldn't bear the pressure next, just let me work hard! Even if the worst result is just because of my incompetence, I won't blame you, Aigron..."

As she spoke, she sobbed softly, "Just do what your teachers tirelessly advise you to do. It's up to me to take responsibility for myself. I have been arbitrarily manipulating you for too long. I can't Let’s continue like this.”

Looking at the sobbing Sophie, Aigron felt mixed emotions in his heart.

So weak, yet so strong, what made her become like this?

This is love.

Even though he was used to being cold and distant, his heart couldn't help but melt when he encountered such hot tenderness.

It's ridiculous that he has always been full of calculations and use of her.

I am so humble and despicable... he thought to himself secretly.

But now that we have reached this point, what else is there to say?

He could only smile bitterly, take Sophie into his arms, and then gently stroke her hair, in this way to comfort her wounded heart.

All of these are opportunities to repay.

"At least for a while, we can enjoy a good time." Sophie was in his arms, murmuring in a crying voice, "Aigron, I want..."

The sense of crisis radiating from the bottom of her heart made her desperate.

In an instant, the hem of her skirt fluttered gently, and her long hair was scattered in the air, and then gently fell down. Everything was lost in the sound of horse hooves.

==================================================

The next morning, after finishing practice, Aigron suddenly received an order to be summoned by Prime Minister Metternich.

He hurried over to meet with the powerful Prime Minister.

As soon as the two met each other, the old prime minister did not speak, but looked the young man up and down, as if assessing how much the young man had grown during the time when the two did not meet.

After a long time, Prime Minister Metternich nodded, "Good performance, Your Highness. It seems that you really took what I said to heart."

Aigron didn't quite understand what the other party meant, so he didn't speak for a while, waiting for his next words.

"But I didn't expect that you would suddenly become interested in music?"

Aiglon was a little confused at first, but soon an idea flashed in his mind, and he suddenly thought of something——

"Did Archduke Karl propose it to you?" he then asked.

He recalled that when he visited Archduke Karl's estate, Theresa had played a piano piece for the family at dinner - Beethoven's "Moonlight". Theresa then became somewhat indignant at the treatment of Beethoven, and was deeply saddened when she heard that he was about to die.

Then, she proposed to her father that she and Aiglon go to visit the musician who was about to leave this world. After hesitating for a while, Archduke Karl couldn't resist his daughter's wish and finally agreed.

Therefore, it is understandable why Prime Minister Metternich suddenly asked this confusing question - Archduke Karl formally greeted Metternich and asked for permission for Eggron to visit the famous musician.

After figuring out the cause and effect, Aigron relaxed. He didn't care whether the other party agreed or not. He wouldn't lose anything anyway.

"Yes, Archduke Karl is really considerate of children." Metternich smiled sarcastically, "I readily agreed to such a willful request."

"Then what's your opinion?" Aigron looked at him inquiringly.

"I admit that that guy is a talented musician, but he is too unruly and his temper is very unbearable -" Metternich shrugged, "But even so, he is not a prisoner, since you want to go Look, then go ahead and see it, but..."

Metternich raised a finger, "I have a request - I hope you will not make any remarks that will damage the prestige of this government, nor are you allowed to repeat any outrageous remarks of that guy. Just look at what he said before The way it was before death, that’s all.”

"I have no interest in evaluating the government, Your Excellency." Eggron immediately assured him, "I have never cared at all about the political stance of musicians."

"I know, I have confidence in your indifference. My dear Your Highness, I have watched you grow up. I don't believe you will believe in the nonsense of liberalism and romanticism." Metternich Continuing to smile sarcastically, "I mean, you want Teresa not to make such deviant remarks - if a person of her status says something that criticizes the government and me, then someone will take it out." If it were published publicly, it would embarrass everyone, and Archduke Karl himself would definitely not be happy with it.”

Eggron believed Metternich's words this time.

At this time, although Beethoven was living in Vienna and was very famous, he had a very serious quarrel with the Metternich government. Even in his later years, when he was poor and ill, he continued to criticize the Metternich government's harsh remarks and Publishing controls, so the Metternich government also hated this disobedient artist very much, almost insulating him from the public.

As a member of the royal family, Archduke Karl naturally favors Metternich's side politically, so it is normal for him to be a little embarrassed when hearing his daughter's request - it is conceivable that the archduke would often be concerned about his daughter's deviant remarks. And it gives me a very big headache...

"I will try to restrain His Highness's remarks." Thinking of this, Aigron nodded. "But I'm afraid there's a limit to what I can do."

"No, Your Highness, I never believe in other people's empty guarantees, because I have made countless such guarantees and I have never kept them." Metternich sneered, "Let me put it bluntly, during this period you have to Take responsibility for her actions. If something happens, it's your responsibility. I don't want to see you sitting idly by."

"She is the daughter of Archduke Karl, how can I control her?" Aigron asked.

"She is indeed the daughter of Archduke Karl, but she is also your future wife. Of course you are responsible for this." Prime Minister Metternich frowned impatiently, "In short, I hope you will ensure that she does not do anything. Let everyone embarrass this visit safely and let Her Highness Teresa’s willfulness end in a dignified way.”

If you can't defeat Archduke Karl, why don't you use me as a safety catch...Aigron couldn't help complaining in his heart.

Obviously, if Theresa really did something extraordinary, the most embarrassing person would be Prime Minister Metternich himself. He had always been hated by the citizens of Vienna because of his high-handed control. If an important person came out, When members of the royal family publicly rebelled, he was the one who was most embarrassed - but due to the prestige of Archduke Karl, it was difficult for him to stop Theresa's willfulness.

So he could only rely on Aiglon to solve this problem.

It doesn't matter, Aigron is willing to cooperate with Metternich this time - now that his plan has seen the light of day, he doesn't want to cause any complications.

"Since you have mentioned this, I can only fulfill your wish." Aigron nodded, indicating that he agreed to this request, "I will find a way to restrain Her Majesty Theresa's remarks, but ——Does Archduke Karl agree?”

"Of course you have... It seems to me that Archduke Karl has already agreed, but he hasn't said it publicly yet. Otherwise, why would he bother so much for you?" Metternich looked at the young man, He smiled darkly, "Your Highness, I am very happy that since we last met, you have indeed cooperated with my wishes. I am very satisfied with your progress. So - please continue to obey our will. You will find that, It's all worth it."
