She felt regretful as soon as she said the harsh words she just said, for fear of hurting the young man's heart. Fortunately, she finally recovered - although the young man put forward a condition, as long as everyone is happy, such a trivial thing
What request is unacceptable?
In addition, she was not really angry deep down in her heart. The fiery emotions displayed by the young man not only scared her, but also made her a little excited, and even made her heart beat a little warm.
After all, who wouldn't be happy to be so admired by such a handsome and adorable child?
Aigron just lacked friends since childhood, so he longed for family affection, and then mistakenly thought that his admiration for me was love... As long as he has a wife and a family of his own in the future, he will probably be ashamed when he thinks back to his words and deeds at this time.
Bar.
After all, it was the Austrians who treated him too badly, Sophie thought to herself.
After thinking of this, Sophie couldn't help but glance at the young man lovingly, and the small dispute between the two people disappeared.
Then, she calmly rearranged the palette and mixed the colors with paint. Aigron wanted a portrait of himself, so this was a double test - a test of both his painting skills and his
Appearance, on this issue, her self-esteem would not allow herself to make any mistakes.
"Aigron, what image do you want me to draw?" She asked Aiglon smoothly. "If there is no request, I can express myself freely."
"You are beautiful at any time, but I think you are the best at this moment." Aigron replied in a low voice.
…
"Okay, then I'll do as you say." After a moment of silence, Princess Sophie nodded lightly.
The two of them walked to the fountain and quietly looked at the reflection in the pool amidst the soft sound of the trickling water. Then Princess Sophie set up the easel again and began to paint.
Aigron stood quietly next to Her Royal Highness the Princess this time, watching her paint stroke by stroke. Gradually a blurry outline appeared on the canvas, and then as the brush continued to move, the colors became more and more vivid.
The scenes in the painting are becoming clearer and clearer.
I don't know how long it took, but the image of a young woman standing next to the fountain, wearing a royal blue dress, appeared in the painting.
Princess Sophie put down the brush, then looked at the painting carefully, and finally nodded with satisfaction.
"Aigron, the painting is done, what do you think?" Then, she turned her head and looked at Aiglon and asked expectantly.
There is always only one answer to this question.
"It's really beautiful." Aigron looked at it carefully, bent down, and looked at Princess Sophie with gratitude, "I will definitely treasure it, Your Highness... It's really beautiful, both in terms of paintings and people.
.”
To be fair, it's really beautiful.
"You really don't act like a child now!" Princess Sophie glanced at him sideways, seeming a little angry, "Who taught you this?"
"We have been together for so long, don't you still understand me? I will not tell lies against my will to please others." Aigron replied with a smile. "So if I say yes, then don't worry, yes.
Really good,”
"Okay, then I'll just believe it this time..." Princess Sophie nodded lightly.
There was silence between the two people again, and they looked at the newly completed painting together. They listened quietly to the sound of wind and running water, as if they were the only two people left in the huge palace.
"Your Highness, I have a new hobby recently." After a long silence, Aigron suddenly said.
"What's your hobby?" Princess Sophie asked curiously.
"I'm obsessed with reading drama scripts, such as those by Shakespeare and Molière... I suddenly had a strange idea a few days ago." Aiglon looked at Her Royal Highness, and then replied leisurely, "I think I can too
Try writing a script, I now have some scene ideas in my mind, I think I can give it a try."
"Really?" Princess Sophie immediately became interested, "Then you should work hard, I really want to see it!"
"Now my skills and writing style are immature, and those fragmentary thoughts have no coherence at all. I don't dare to make a fool of myself and make you laugh." Aigron lowered his head in shame, "But I really
I want to work hard in this area, so... I would like to ask you to take me to see the theater in Vienna if you have the opportunity, so that I can learn something important."
"What?" As Aiglon expected, Princess Sophie was very surprised when she heard this request. "You want to go to the theater?"
"To be precise, I will go with you." Aigron lowered his head slightly shyly, "If this request makes you feel embarrassed, then... then just think that I didn't say it, and that I just made a sudden request.
Just a whim."
Princess Sophie was silent.
Logically speaking, Aigron's request was a bit difficult to handle, but his clear and eager eyes made it difficult for her to refuse. What's more, the two of them had just had a dispute, and she really didn't want to cause any unpleasantness again.
And... going to the theater with Aiglon should also be a bit fun?
"If this is your hobby... I will support you." After a moment, she nodded slightly, "Let me tell the prince and the emperor that you are injured and are always bored in the palace.
It’s really boring.”
"But...if they don't agree..." Aigron hesitated again.
"If they don't agree, I will find a way to get them to agree, and I will solve this matter." Her Royal Highness the Princess replied without thinking, "When we were eating before, we mentioned that you love paper and pen more than love.
Swords and guns are a good thing, and His Majesty the Emperor also deeply agrees. In this case, it is also a good thing for you to develop interest in this area... I think there is no reason for Your Majesty not to agree."
"Great!" Aigron raised his head in surprise, "Then I'll leave it to you."
"Don't be happy so early, I have conditions." Princess Sophie shook her head, "First, you and I have special status, we can never go to the theater with our original identities, we can only keep a low profile; second, you come
Just stay in the box and don't interact too much with the outside world. If you have any problems, just let me and the guards who came with me handle it...Aiglon, I'm sorry, I don't want to restrict you like this, but if there are no these conditions,
I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to get the old man to agree."
Just what I wanted.
"It doesn't matter, no matter what the outcome is, I will never complain to you. You have helped me enough... I am really, really grateful to you." Aigron quickly expressed his feelings, "Your Highness... I really
There are no words to express my gratitude to you. If there is anything I can do to make you happy, please feel free to do it!"
"I have nothing to ask of you, as long as you don't make me angry again and be obedient..." Princess Sophie playfully winked her left eye, "Aigron, can you do it?"
"As you wish." Aigron stopped.
He spoke very sincerely, but at the same time, he felt a little guilty in his heart.
His so-called "interest in writing scripts" is of course just an excuse. The ultimate goal is to use Princess Sophie to get an opportunity to leave the palace and go to Vienna regularly - although this opportunity has not been used yet, and by the time
He will definitely still be under strict surveillance, but at least it will allow him to have further contact with the outside world.
As long as there is contact, opportunities will definitely be created. Before that, he doesn't need to be impatient. Everything can be done slowly. He still has plenty of time anyway.
However, doing so also meant that he took advantage of Princess Sophie's love and accommodation for him. Since coming to this world, he has only felt this kind of love and accommodation from her so far.
He didn't like to see himself doing this, but even though he didn't want to, he had to do it. This was an important step in his entire plan. If he couldn't establish contact with the outside world, then the so-called escape plan was doomed to be nothing more than a waste of time.
It's just a daydream.
But this crucial step was easily agreed to by Her Royal Highness the Princess - she agreed purely to make herself happy.
I'm sorry... Your Highness.
If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely compensate you and do my best. He swore secretly in his heart.
"Okay, let's go back and help me move it." After a long time, Princess Sophie suggested.
The oil painting dries very slowly, and it was impossible for Aigron to store it today, so he helped the princess put away the easel, and then walked back to the palace with the painting on the easel.
Along the way, Sophie noticed that Aigron was silent and seemed thoughtful.
"Aigron, what are you thinking about?" she asked.
"Actually, I'm thinking about a very strange question." Aigron smiled, hiding his uneasiness and shame.
"What's the problem?"
"If we pass incognito, then we definitely can't use our current names, right?" Aigron looked at each other with a smile, "So how about we pretend to be siblings? I am the younger brother Franz, and you are the older sister Sophia. The two of us.
If they go out and say they are siblings, no one will believe it, right?"
Princess Sophie stopped immediately. She blushed slightly, but it should be excitement rather than shyness. It seemed that she was also aroused.
"It sounds interesting." She nodded after a moment, "Then... what should our last name be?"
"Do you have any good suggestions?" Aigron asked.
"Well..." Her Royal Highness the Princess narrowed her eyes slightly, and then she seemed to have an idea, "What do you think of Memmingen? This is a small city in Bavaria. I went there when I was a child. The scenery is very nice.
, left me with very good memories.”
"Then let's take this!" Aigron nodded excitedly, "We will definitely be able to make better memories!"
At this moment, he decided that in the future when it was inconvenient to use his real name, he would always use Franz Memmingen as his pseudonym.
