With the arrival of the New Year, the weather near the town gradually improved. The sun penetrated the obstruction of the clouds, dispersed the seemingly endless rain and snow, and compassionately presented the long-lost warmth to the world.
However, due to the high altitude, even if the sun shines brightly, the temperature here is still below zero, and thick snow is stubbornly spread on the slopes and ground, refusing to be visible.
For Agron and Teresa, the good weather means they can put on their long-awaited sideshow.
With the call of strong winds, red clouds appear slightly between the towering peaks, and the snow-capped Alps, covered in her holy gauze, welcome the arrival of the golden morning sun.
The sun was like a thin line, slowly moving forward, revealing the beautiful and rugged mountains. The peaks that had been subject to strong winds all night now shyly calmed down and watched helplessly.
The golden paintbrush dyed her coat even more dazzlingly.
Aigron, Teresa, and Queen Hortense were standing at the top of the ramp.
Looking around, the towering top of the mountain is looming in the clouds and mist. From the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain is a long slope. At this time, there is a thick layer of snow accumulated on the slope, like a white silk satin pouring down from the sky.
Connecting heaven and earth.
"It's so spectacular." Looking at this magnificent picture, Aigron couldn't help but sigh, "Teresa, we really should have come here earlier."
Teresa agreed too.
"Being able to see this scene is indeed a worthwhile trip. I'm really glad that we can have such an opportunity."
Theresa grew up in the plains and valleys around Vienna, and later only went to warm Greece with Aigron. How had she ever seen such a spectacular and harsh scenery? For her, this place is also touching.
.
"People often say that the closer you get to the top, the more you feel your own insignificance, but I don't think that's always the case." Aigron sighed again, then he raised his hand and pointed at the golden cane in the distance with the wooden crutch in his hand.
Sky, "I want to rush towards it and conquer it!"
Then, he looked at Theresa again, "Teresa, just keep an eye on it!"
As he spoke, he put on his snowshoes.
"Here?" Teresa was startled. She looked at the long hillside again, weighed the height difference in her mind, and then immediately shook her head, "No, Your Highness, it's better not here? It's too far here."
It’s so high that I feel dizzy just looking at it…”
"But, we are all here, it would be a pity if we don't slide down." Aigron still insisted on his opinion, "Theresa, I said I will show off my skills in front of you..."
"I'm not asking you to be brave!" Teresa became anxious upon hearing this, "Your Highness, please change a place, let's just look at the scenery here..."
This slope does have a huge height difference. Not only Teresa, who has very little experience, is trembling, but even Queen Ortense, who has practiced many times recently, is also a little scared. She can't help but persuade Aigron.
"Your Majesty, it's better to change places. Your safety is more important than any entertainment."
Although the two people around him were persuading, Aigron still did not intend to stop. He is inherently stubborn. At this time, in this spectacular scenery, his desire for adventure and conquest were aroused. If he was not ruthless,
How could he be willing to do it so hard?
"You guys wait for me here, I'll be back soon." After saying that, he stabbed his stick hard on the ground, and then suddenly jumped forward.
"Your Highness...!" Teresa shouted, instinctively reaching out to hold her husband, but her speed could not keep up with Aigron? She could only watch Aigron slide rapidly down the hillside.
Teresa's voice turned into a clear scream, breaking the silence between heaven and earth, and even echoing in the valley bottom. She stood on the edge of the ramp, her heart beating violently, and she almost fell down because she was exhausted.
On the ground, it was with great difficulty that Queen Hortense held her up from falling.
She was so frightened that she almost lost her mind. At that moment, she almost jumped down with her husband regardless, but the last remaining reason made her stop.
But even so, she still watched her husband nervously as he slid down, fearing that something might happen to him. She didn't dare to imagine what would happen if an accident happened. Maybe she would jump down desperately at that time...
And under her gaze, Aigron slid down the slope of the mountainside rapidly. The flat and sloping snow surface did not hinder his movement. Under the influence of gravity, his speed became faster and faster.
Because they were wearing black clothes, it seemed from a distance that they were like ink floating on white paper, paddling down quickly, and the skis under his feet also went down from the top of the slope, leaving traces on the slope.
Symmetrical scratches.
As he sprinted down faster and faster, the strong wind began to blow against Aigron's face, and finally whistled in his ears, stinging Aigron's face. However, this pain did not make him feel pain, but gave him
He felt a different kind of stimulation and excitement. He opened his mouth, but because it was filled with wind, he couldn't shout.
After an unknown amount of time, he finally slid down the slope to the bottom. Although the temperature was very cold, the boiling blood in his body made his whole body warm. The exciting feeling of falling from the sky made him intoxicated and unfinished.
He raised his head and looked at the top of the hillside, and found Theresa and Queen Hortense still on the hillside. Although they could not see their expressions at the moment, they must have been very nervous just now.
Aigron waved to them, indicating that he was fine, and asked them to stay where he was and wait for him.
Soon after, he climbed up the slope again and came to Theresa.
"Teresa..." Aigron tried to show off to her with a wave of his hand, "I said I would show off my skills, what do you think...?"
Before he finished speaking, he was shocked to find Teresa glaring at him, and she picked up the ski pole in her hand and hit him hard.
He dodged the first blow by instinct, but seeing the anger in Theresa's eyes, he wisely did not dodge anymore and allowed Theresa to hit him.
Because he was wearing thick clothes, he didn't feel much pain, but even so, he pretended to be in pain and begged Teresa for mercy.
"Teresa! Don't do this!"
Teresa still hit her a few more times with her cane regardless, but the force was subconsciously reduced a lot.
"Your Highness, how can you be so willful!" After a few blows, she was still angry and glared at her husband, "You just scared me! If something happened to you just now... I simply don't know what to do.
How to face it!"
"I'm sorry, Teresa." Aigron quickly apologized to her with a smile, "I just got into the mood and couldn't control myself...you see, the result is pretty good, right? Life always requires risks for me.
Yes, if I had backed down in that situation just now, I would not be able to forgive myself."
Seeing that he still looked unrepentant, Teresa was so angry that she wanted to beat him again, but fortunately Queen Ortense stood up at the right time to smooth things over. "Okay, don't be angry, Teresa, Aigron just said
He is indeed impulsive, but he is young and energetic and always likes to do adventurous things. What can we do? Putting aside these words, Aigron's heroic appearance just now is indeed eye-catching. I hope that the younger generation will
To have such surging energy.”
As an elder present, since Queen Hortense said this, Theresa could not get angry again, but she was still a little angry. She glared at Agron fiercely, then looked away, with a look.
I don't want to care about him anymore.
Aiglon was thankful that he had escaped death, and expressed his gratitude to Queen Hortense with his eyes, while Queen Hortense made a gesture to indicate that he would not do the same thing again.
Then, the three people left the hillside and prepared to return to the farm. Theresa deliberately ignored Aigron because she was still angry. Queen Ortense deliberately walked beside Theresa in order not to be left in the cold.
She chatted.
"Teresa, I understand your feelings, but in fact there is no need for you to be so angry... Hey, if you choose to be the husband of such a person, you have to make such a realization, right?"
"If he has to take risks, I accept it and am even willing to take risks with him, but I can't tolerate him putting himself in danger. These are completely different things..." Teresa shook her head, and then explained to the queen in a low voice, "It was clear just now
It is an avoidable danger, but he jumped in just for his own happiness without thinking about the consequences. Do you think this is tolerable? Don’t forget, he has a wife and son, and he also has responsibilities
With so many people's expectations, he shouldn't be so willful just for his own happiness! Didn't you see just now, I almost fainted..."
Queen Hortense was speechless for a moment.
Judging from Theresa's performance just now, she believed that Theresa truly loved Agron, otherwise she would not behave like this. However, as an aunt, she also knew Agron's personality. Although he usually seemed modest,
But he is stubborn and stubborn at heart, and will never change his thoughts and actions easily for others.
"You are indeed right, but he is our Majesty after all. If he is happy, what can we do?" Otis sighed helplessly, "In terms of the result, everything is fine. Since he is happy,
It proves that he does have the ability to control destiny, so we should trust and obey him. Otherwise, what else can we do? We can't trap his hands and feet and make him willing to obey just because he likes to do whatever he wants."
"If I have to choose between the two, I would rather choose this. After all, any outcome is better than losing." Teresa was silent for a moment, and then replied in a low voice, "You can't empathize with me, so you don't know that I
How did I feel just now? I watched him falling rapidly in the snow, thinking about what kind of terrible disaster fate would bring to me. My blood almost froze... I really don’t know what would happen if I lost my husband.
, how should I spend the rest of my life. The most annoying thing is that he still doesn't notice it. What should I do if there is a next time?"
Looking at Teresa's angry expression, the queen could not detect the passion and danger contained in it. She only felt that Teresa was uncharacteristically different from usual, no longer as dignified and reserved as before, but instead she was a little more cute, more like a girl of her age.
.
"Hahahaha, don't worry. I will persuade him to sincerely apologize to you. Moreover, as a wife, you are indeed different from us servants. I think you can restrain him. He was in front of you just now.
He didn't dare to resist at all... I've never seen him so timid."
Under the queen's deliberate comfort, Teresa finally calmed down, but she still treated Aigron without any pretentious words. Aiglon knew that he was in the wrong, so he could only entertain himself, pretending to be alone.
The three people did not return to the farm until noon.
Teresa abandoned Aiglon and went back to her room to change clothes, while Aigron called Chanel to her.
Ever since Chanel came back with Theresa, she had been silently accompanying the two of them as usual, and now Aiglon finally had time to talk to her in detail.
After all, she had been with Aigron for so long, so Chanel naturally knew her master very well. Before Aigron could ask, she took the initiative to speak.
"Your Majesty, I met Her Royal Highness Sophie and talked to her."
Then, she told Aigron exactly what she had seen Sophie and what she had talked to her about.
After listening to this, Aigron felt filled with emotions, feeling both guilty and grateful.
Sophie's current situation is better than he expected. Sure enough, she is still placing hope on herself...
"So it's great that she wasn't defeated by depression and despair after all."
"It's still manageable." Chanel also sighed, "However, it feels like she is about to reach her limit. You don't know, when you first met her, the look in her eyes when she mentioned Her Majesty Theresa was really shocking.
People are afraid.”
Aigron's heart suddenly hit rock bottom.
He could understand the resentment in Sophie's heart, especially since it was caused by him.
In any case, since she has not given up, then she cannot give up either, at least to free her from despair.
Sophie was willing to cooperate with his plan and even offered help, which meant that he had to move forward with his plan.
It's just that he himself also knows that it is not that easy to actually implement this plan. He may not be able to save Sophie from the desperate situation. But, how will he know if he doesn't do it?
He had no choice but to take the risk.
He put aside the thoughts in his heart, and then looked at Chanel again.
"You have met Crystal, how is she now?"
"She is a very cute and beautiful child." Chanel replied, "Your Highness Sophie, please find a way to bring her back to you no matter what."
"I know." Aigron nodded.
After hesitating for a moment, he added, "Chanel, what do you think Theresa would think if she knew about this plan? She seems very generous to Sophie... If Theresa is willing to help, that's not
More perfect?"
Chanel raised her head and looked at Aiglon with an expression like "How could a smart person like you ask such a stupid question?"
"Okay, pretend I didn't ask." Aigron shrugged. (To be continued.)
