Aiglon remained motionless, silently watching Teresa leave.

Before saying this, he had expected Teresa's various reactions, from casual to angry, and even mentally prepared to have nothing to do with Teresa from now on, but at this moment her reaction was greatly beyond his expectations.

She was obviously angry, but it didn't seem to be directed at herself, but she thought someone was directing her.

He could only secretly sigh that a girl of this age was really too difficult to understand, especially a delicate one like Teresa.

Either way, though, at least she agreed to her request, and that was enough.

With a little self-comfort, he also took another step and walked towards the villa.

When he returned to the living room, His Majesty the Emperor had also returned from his morning walks and hunting.

His Majesty the Emperor naturally had his attendants to deal with the prey, so he changed out of his hunting outfit and walked to the fireplace to sit down and rest.

It could be seen that His Majesty the Emperor was in a rather good mood, and after chatting with His Majesty the Empress for a while, he beckoned to Agron.

"Franz, can you pass the time with us?"

"Absolutely." Agron agreed, of course, right away.

"Then let's play cards for a while—" His Majesty the Emperor suggested after looking at the Empress.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Queen Caroline immediately agreed.

So, His Majesty the Emperor waved his hand, and the attendant immediately took a deck of cards and put them on the coffee table.

His Majesty looked at Teresa, who was sitting in the corner and had been silent, "Teresa, can you come and play with us?" ”

Whist's card game, which originated in England, has already swept the European continent by this time, whether it is a court nobleman or a country gentleman, they like to come to Whist a few rounds to pass the time. His Majesty the Emperor, who came out to experience the leisurely country life, will of course enjoy this kind of fun.

At the same time, Whist Solitaire is a four-player battle, and two pairs are paired to fight in groups, and the two Majesties are naturally a group, and he deliberately let Agron and Teresa accompany the game, and his intention is naturally self-evident.

Teresa was a little surprised, then hesitated a little and glanced at Agron.

"I ...... I wouldn't be too good at this. ”

"It's okay, we're not good at this, it's just to pass the time." His Majesty the Emperor replied with a smile, "Besides, you and Franz are both very smart, and coupled with the quick thinking of young people, if you are paired up, it will definitely open our eyes." ”

His words were a pun, which immediately made Teresa a little shy, and then His Majesty the Emperor looked at Aiglon again, "Franz, it is a man's duty to take care of the lady, you will definitely do your best to take care of Teresa, right?" ”

His Majesty the Emperor had already said this, and Agelon couldn't avoid it anymore, so he could only nod, "I'll do my best to help Teresa, but I don't think it matters if you win or lose." ”

"Yes, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, just be happy." His Majesty the Emperor waved his hand, and the four of them sat down at the table and began the pre-lunch card game.

Whist is the predecessor of bridge, and the basic rules are similar, with the focus on cooperation and thinking between two people.

Agron observed it and knew that Teresa's level was indeed quite average, and the cards were not played in the optimal way - of course, the same was true for His Majesty the Emperor and Empress, so in order not to ruin everyone's fun, he also deliberately played his cards casually, so that the card battle between the members of the royal family at the core of the empire was a mess, but there were some ups and downs of fun.

His Majesty the Emperor mainly passed the time, and he really didn't care much about winning or losing, he chatted with the other three while playing cards.

After chatting for a while, the conversation inadvertently fell back to Agron.

"Franz, after I went to rest, did you talk to Teresa last night?" His Majesty the Emperor asked.

"Nope. It was late and we were both a little tired, so we quickly said goodbye and went off to rest. Aglon replied as he played his cards.

"How can young people get tired so easily?" His Majesty the Emperor shook his head, as if he was a little dissatisfied. "Later, if you have time, let's go out together, and while we still have time here, we should settle down as soon as possible - you better cherish your young time, and when we are our age, it will be too late to reminisce......"

"Your Majesty, on this point, please allow me to disagree with this." At this time, Teresa suddenly interjected.

"Huh?" His Majesty the Emperor was a little puzzled, "What opinion?" ”

"I heard what you said last night. I am glad that you have such a high regard for His Highness Franz, but in another way I am not very happy...... I undoubtedly wish I could have a proud husband in the future, but it would be a bit too much of a self-pride to be used as a reins or a chain, and it would be a bit too devastating for me and his friendship. Teresa looked at His Majesty the Emperor calmly and said calmly, "So I think it's better for us to get to know each other first, and then decide our future, so don't interfere anymore, otherwise I'm afraid it will have the opposite effect......"

This sudden remark made His Majesty the Emperor suddenly change his face, he has been an emperor for more than 30 years, and he has never been refuted in the empire.

"Do you think his mother decided for herself after meeting Napoleon?" After a moment, he frowned and said, "I've actually been very lucky to have a few faces, Teresa." ”

"I admire the sacrifice of Archduke Louisa, but because of that I am even more afraid of repeating the mistakes of the past." Teresa, though a little nervous, was not intimidated by His Majesty's reaction, and continued, "Since my father has won the right for me, why can't I use it?" Of course, if you have to command me with a will beyond the law, that's fine, but in that case, you'll have to admit that what you've said before is just fooling me......"

As soon as such a foul was spoken, the people present were suddenly so frightened that they couldn't speak, and for a while, the whole living room could hear the needles falling, and everyone looked at each other, wondering why Princess Teresa dared to be so hard with His Majesty the Emperor.

It's just that Aglon probably understands why—Teresa doesn't want to take responsibility for ruining His Majesty's wishes.

He just didn't expect that Teresa, who was so angry before, not only did not embarrass herself at this time, but took the initiative to take the responsibility on her head.

The heart is really good.

But the guts are also too great.

If His Majesty the Emperor is really angry, what should she do? Aglon was worried.

"Your Majesty, I think Theresa's words also have some truth." Because he was worried, he also took the initiative to speak, "I think it may be better to go with the flow than to give a forced order, at least Archduke Karl must prefer his daughter to marry with a smile rather than a sad face." ”

After he deliberately moved out of Archduke Karl, His Majesty the Emperor finally managed to control his anger a little.

"What a wayward little girl!" His Majesty the Emperor frowned, then put all the cards on the table, and then stood up, "Let's get here today." ”

After finishing speaking, he strode directly upstairs, and Her Majesty the Queen also walked along, and the people next to him did not dare to come out, and they dispersed one after another, and soon only the two of them were left in the living room.

Teresa sat silently in her seat, not showing a look of fear.

Then, silently, she gathered the cards on the table and stacked them on top of each other.

"Teresa." Aiglon whispered to her, "Thank you, but you don't have to do this. ”

Teresa only raised her head slightly at this time and looked at the young man in front of her, "Your Highness, if I don't do this, then there is no hope at all." You don't need to thank me, but you should be afraid of me. ”

"What?" Aiglon was surprised, "Afraid of you? ”

"yes, of course." Teresa smiled slightly, "I've already given you a chance, Aiglon. Just now, with a little effort, you can get me to nod my head...... I'm afraid it won't be so easy in the future, if you want to propose to me in the future, you must kneel down and beg me before I nod. ”

Agron's expression became strange, and he looked like he wanted to laugh but couldn't.

I'm on my knees and proposing to you? How can it be.

Just imagining such a picture struck him as ridiculous.

But he wasn't angry, Teresa was obviously hurt by her own self-esteem, so she was angry.

The girl's self-esteem is really strong.

"Don't believe me?" Teresa seemed to see what he was thinking, and she still smiled, "I'll do it." I just hope that you don't regret your recklessness today. ”

"I wouldn't regret it if it ever happened," Agron couldn't help but laugh, "but I don't think it's going to happen." ”

Teresa glared at him angrily, as if to say and see.

"Our family's invitation to you remains the same."

"Of course I'm just as happy to visit." Agron nodded.

"Yes, Your Highness, I look forward to you." Teresa bent her knees slightly, then walked out of the living room.

Perhaps because of today's turmoil, His Majesty the Emperor has obviously lost his pleasure and his spirit has become much more tired.

Her Majesty the Queen took some time out the next day to summon Aglon once.

"I didn't expect this to happen." Her Majesty was a little puzzled and rejoiced, "However, this has saved you a little bit of difficulty when you are unexpected. ”

"I didn't expect that." Aglon replied.

"She's such a weird person, God knows what she's thinking." Her Majesty bit her lip, "I've never seen anyone Your Majesty like that." ”

"No, she's not an eccentric." Aiglon retorted to Her Majesty's words, "She's a good person. ”

"......," Her Majesty the Queen looked at him suspiciously.

Then, she changed the subject, "However, His Majesty the Emperor's will will not change, so you should do it yourself." Goodbye, sir. ”

At the end of the night, the Habsburg royal family's trip to the countryside came to an end.
