61, cordial

"Yes, Your Highness. As long as you're there, there's hope......"

Chanel's crying sounded especially sad at the moment.

She knew that what her master said was true, so she was even more bitter about her powerlessness at the moment, and because of the pain, she had to put her hope in Agron, confident that he would avenge herself.

It is certainly an honor to be pinned on such great hopes, but it is also a burden.

Aglon knew that he was not just pinned on by Chanel alone, and that there were many others who were hoping that he would be able to take them to counterattack.

Their hatred may not be as deep as that of Chanel, but the mania for power and the resentment of losing everything will still drive them to follow them.

As long as you can get a chance, you can definitely arouse this kind of fanaticism and resentment.

He glanced at Chanel again, her eyes closed, tears still lingering in the corners of her eyes, and grief almost overflowing, and it was hard not to feel sympathy.

"Chanel, you should rest early tonight." He gave the order gently, "Mood swings that are too violent can easily bring physical fatigue, so it is better to rest." ”

Unexpectedly, Chanel suddenly opened his eyes, and then shook his head stubbornly, "No, Your Highness, you haven't rested yet, how can I slack off?" I want to continue to serve you. ”

Looking at her red and swollen eyes and pear blossoms with rain, Aglon shook his head, "I don't have anything for you to do right now. ”

"Your Highness, I thank you for taking care of me...... "Chanel smiled bitterly, "but how can I sleep at this moment?" I'd rather find something to distract myself and numb my nerves, it would make me feel a lot better. ”

"Well......" Since Chanel insisted, Agron agreed, "Then you can make me a cup of coffee, and come back and help me record the dictation—the theater says it's already going to rehearse my play, and I really need to step up." ”

"Is it already going to be rehearsed?" Chanel's spirits suddenly lifted, "Great......"

"You said last time that if you want to perform on stage as an actor, even if it's just to have a good time." Aiglon also smiled, "I heard from the theater that they won't arrange any well-known actors to perform for me this time - so, I think your wish is easy for me to help you come true, you can prepare for this in advance, it is best to participate in rehearsals early, after all, going on stage is not as simple as you imagined, even if it is just to play an inconspicuous small role, in front of so many people in the audience, I am afraid that inexperienced people will still be weak." ”

"I just made a casual wish at the time, thank you for remembering." Chanel laughed happily, "Don't worry, I will do my best to adapt, I will never allow myself to tarnish His Highness's creation......"

"Don't be so serious, I don't have any requirements for you, you just treat it as entertainment, don't put pressure on yourself for no reason." Aiglon shook his head, "Others don't know, don't you know?" The so-called script is just a façade, and I don't care if it can be performed perfectly, as long as it can achieve its goal. ”

"That being said, if you can perform it perfectly, it will definitely be easier to spread and achieve your goals...... So I have to give it my all as well. Chanel replied, and then she smiled slightly, "Your Highness, you are such a gracious person. ”

"Me? Cordial? "No, you misunderstood, soldiers defend their weapons and wipe them all the time, and I'm just doing the same thing." You are my follower and the only tool I can trust at the moment, of course I want to maintain your emotional stability and try my best to fulfill your wishes, this is a contract between us, I am a person who abides by the contract. ”

"Even if you say that, I still think you are very kind and kind to me...... Your Highness, the luckiest thing in my life is to meet you. Chanel smiled, looking like he had recovered from the blow, "Alright, I'll make you coffee, you wait!" ”

With that, she walked out of the room quickly.

Poor child, how many sins she has suffered since she was a child, and how many cold eyes she has suffered, that getting a little sunshine is like having the whole world...... Looking at her departing back, Aglon couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

But then again, aren't you the same? That's why I miss Princess Sophie so much.

Thinking of this, he could only sigh secretly in his heart.

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

In the warm autumn sunshine, a carriage carrying the insignia of irises entered the square of Schönbrunn Palace after being inspected by the guards.

Then, the French ambassador to Austria, Count Gabriel de Taylorwin, walked leisurely.

Although he was dressed in casual clothes, he was still quite sophisticated, with a black tuxedo and a velvet top hat, and a gold enamel pocket watch on his chest.

He wasn't very tall, probably in his forties, and because of his debauchery, he looked older than he really was.

His face was a little pale and bloodless, and because of the fact that he had shaved his beard so cleanly, he looked like he was wearing a mask. However, his eyes have not yet been destroyed by the color of wine, and his gray-brown pupils often reveal a clever and cunning light, which can weigh people at any time and place.

Guided by his attendants, he walked into the palace chambers, then through the corridors and finally to his destination.

The squire knocked on the door, it was opened, and he strode in.

Soon, he spotted the young man sitting on the couch.

He looked at the young man as fast as he could, assessing the other's demeanor and bearing, and then quickly took off his hat and bowed respectfully to Agron.

"It is a great honour to meet you, Your Highness."

"It is also a great honour for me to be remembered by the French ambassador." Aglon smiled gently, then gestured to the couch next to him, "Mr. Ambassador, please be seated." ”

Earl Taylor Wyn sat down obediently.

Then, the maid next to Aiglon walked over and poured two cups of coffee on the coffee table in front of the two men.

In between the maid's movements, the Count opened his mouth again, and at the same time looked at the young man earnestly, "Your Highness, I am glad that you really have the same demeanor as the outside world says. ”

"You're so polite." Aiglon just smiled, "I don't know what the outside world thinks of me, but I've always been dissatisfied with myself. ”

"Only ambitious people will always want to improve themselves." The ambassador complimented again, then picked up the cup, sighed, and took a sip of his coffee.

"Speaking of which, sir, you may have been a little careless." "You inadvertently gave me the evidence of your guilt, and that's a negligent mistake. ”

The ambassador's face suddenly became very strange, and he almost squirted out a sip of coffee.

It was not easy for him to stabilize himself, "You...... What do you mean? ”

"You called my father emperor in your letter, which is absolutely against the taboo of the court where you work, and they have always called him a usurper." Aiglon smiled and replied, "Of course, I personally appreciate you. ”

After hearing Aglon's words, the ambassador's face suddenly returned to normal.

"So you're kidding...... Hahaha......" he disguised his gaffe with a smile, "It is undeniable that your father has absolutely ruled France for so many years in his own name. And nowadays, it is not taboo to call him Emperor in private, as long as it is not in public—and besides, I don't think you will be so bored as to spread my personal letters to you everywhere. ”

"Well, sir, I apologize for my joke." Aiglon looked at him with a smile, "Please forgive me, after all, I am thrilled and excited to see a French official come to visit me. ”

"It's not in the way, Your Highness, it's good to liven up the atmosphere." The ambassador shook his head and said he didn't mind. Then, he nodded again, "The coffee tastes good, Your Highness, you have a good servant." ”

Hearing his compliment, the maid bowed respectfully to him and stepped aside.

I don't know why, Earl Taylor Wyn always felt that the maid's eyes wandered over him, but he didn't pay attention to it, after all, since the other party usually served this down-and-out prince, he probably didn't have the opportunity to meet outsiders usually, and now it was normal to meet a person who couldn't suppress his curiosity.

Just as he was thinking this, he subconsciously raised his eyes and looked at the maid.

When the eyes of the two men met, the maid was visibly flustered, and she tried to dodge, but when she realized that it was too late, she could only barely make up an ugly smile.

The smile was ugly, but it was good-looking, the ambassador thought.

"Sir?" Aiglon's words quickly drew the ambassador's attention back, "Now that we've exchanged pleasantries, you should satisfy my curiosity now—why did you go out of your way to meet me, and you deliberately acted so politely?" ”

"As you, we need to care about you no matter what." The ambassador smiled and replied, "Especially, as you are about to come of age and step into the European arena, I am even more eager to get to know you." ”

He had been in Austria for some time, and at first he didn't pay much attention to the dead prince who had been left behind in Austria, but after attending a grand banquet in the palace that day, he had a completely different idea.

Although the banquet was nominally celebrated on the birthday of his brother, Archduke Karl, it was clear that Emperor O's efforts were keen to facilitate the marriage of his grandson to Princess Teresa.

It is foreseeable that if this marriage is really realized, then this young man's adulthood will be just around the corner.

In order to adapt to the new situation and find out what kind of person he really is, it has become an urgent need for the embassy and for himself.

Of course, in addition to all this, the ambassador has another reason, which can only be told to His Royal Highness.

"In addition, my mentor, my respected elder, Prince Talleyrand, would like to know you a little bit......"
