"Alright, it's not too early, you can go back. Good night. ”

Her Majesty didn't give Agron any chance to ask any more questions, and waved him away.

Although there were still too many things to ask in his heart, at this moment, Aiglon could only suppress the surprise in his heart and bow his head to say goodbye to Her Majesty the Queen.

After exiting the balcony, he walked back to the living room just now under the guidance of the female official, and at this time His Majesty the Emperor had already left to rest, so there were few people in the living room.

Standing in the living room, which had quieted down again, Aglon was in a trance for a moment.

He was still shocked by what Her Majesty had just said.

Especially the sentence "So, I think...... If you want to make any memories, it's best to do it as soon as possible...... While all the good things are still lingering. ”

What is Her Majesty the Queen hinting at?

There is a fact that is very obvious - that is, Her Majesty has always tolerated and even acquiesced in Sophie's dealings with herself, because she felt that Teresa and her marriage plan was inevitable, so she advised herself to leave good memories with Sophie while she was not officially engaged.

What do the so-called good memories mean, and where do they go?

Literally, this seems to imply something dangerous...... But he wasn't sure, and it was impossible to ask what it meant.

However, when he asked himself, he really didn't expect that things would develop to this point, almost beyond his original thoughts.

Originally, he just wanted to pretend to cooperate with the marriage plan, and then use the prestige of the Grand Duke Karl to realize his escape plan, but now, it seems that it has become an obligation that he cannot shirk.

One can imagine how Sophie would react if the matter was really settled.

He was absolutely unwilling to let things get to this point.

Sophie or Teresa, for him it wasn't a choice question.

In all fairness, Teresa is indeed very cute, and the two of them are very pleasant to chat, but they have only met a few times, how can they have a deep emotional bond?

Sophie is completely different, the two of them have been together for two years, almost every day is so pleasant, she is meticulous and warm to him, and he is not only grateful to her, but also full of love and admiration.

The only person he'd felt guilty about what he'd done so far was her.

Besides, he had promised Sophie before he came that he would not decide his life's affairs so hastily.

He was already destined to hurt her, so he didn't want to hurt her one more time in this kind of extraneous problem.

Now, if he bluntly refuses, I'm afraid the consequences will be unpredictable, His Majesty the Emperor has already made his position clear last night, if he changes his words again, God knows what kind of treatment he will receive next.

…… But at least find a way to slow down the plan for this marriage, at least not to make it a reality until you run away.

As soon as he thought of this, he finally made up his mind.

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

As the sun rose, it was a new morning at the farm, and the people around His Majesty the Emperor began to get busy again.

His Majesty the Emperor himself, on the other hand, was leisurely enjoying his vacation, getting up early in the morning for a walk and not returning until near noon.

Aiglon also got up early, and over the years he had developed a habit of getting up early, and although his teacher did not follow, he still took a sword from the guards and practiced wielding it next to the grove of the farmstead.

Because he knew the lessons of the Roman kings in history, he paid great attention to physical exercise, so as not to end up with a great cause and die young.

Normally, no one would disturb the Duke's practice, but today was slightly different - while Agron was practicing his sword in earnest, a girl in a skirt quietly walked up to him.

The girl didn't interrupt his practice without making a sound, just stood quietly and watched the boy's practice.

After a few moments, Agron finally came to his senses from his state of concentration, and then his attention began to distract from his surroundings, and he was shocked to find Teresa standing nearby.

"Good morning, Aiglon." Teresa greeted him with a smile.

"Good morning, Teresa." Aiglon nodded in greeting, then returned the sword to the guard.

"His Highness's swordsmanship must be very good, right?" Teresa smiled and asked, "Although I don't know much about swordsmanship, it should be quite powerful to see that your movements are so smooth and beautiful." ”

"It's just a set of fixed movements, purely for exercise." Aiglon shrugged, "If I played against the teacher, it wouldn't be so smooth. ”

"I see," Teresa nodded, "I ......heard from my father that your teacher was very proud of your swordsmanship, and he thought that you were rarely matched by his peers, even among adults. ”

"Let's hope he didn't mean to say nice things to make us happy." Although Aiglon tried to behave in a flattering manner, he still couldn't hide a little pride and pride in his heart.

“…… It's a pleasure to be friends with you, Aiglon. Theresa's smile was also a little proud that could not be concealed, "Your Highness, I am convinced that if you can get the opportunity, it will definitely be a great achievement." Your father's spirit in heaven will surely be proud of you now......"

"How can I be compared to him." Agron shook his head gloomily. "Now I'm just a puppet who has been manipulated by others, but fortunately, there are still people who are very nice to me, so my life is not so bad."

"Don't be discouraged, there's a chance." Teresa leaned closer, and then comforted him in a low voice, "Didn't Your Majesty already say that I very much hope that you will serve the Empire in the future." Sooner or later, the older generation of our family will wither, and your position in the family will definitely rise by then...... I will also do my best to help you. ”

Teresa's words made sense, but they immediately reminded Aglon of what Sophie had said to herself.

Alas, who would pin their fate on the illusory "sooner or later"?

Seeing Agron's suddenly depressed appearance, Teresa was a little annoyed that she had said the wrong thing, and suddenly she didn't know how to pull back the atmosphere.

The two men were silent for a moment, and at the same time walked back to the villa.

"Aglon, you're probably short of friends your age." Teresa changed the subject again. "I can ask my father to find a few peers for you to meet, maybe that will relieve my boredom."

"Before you, I really didn't, but I'm not sure if I lacked it." "It's not a big pity for me not to have friends," replied Eglon calmly, "and besides, there may not be many people in Austria who want to be friends with me. ”

"You're too strong, Your Highness." Teresa shook her head, then sighed, "Well, I'm actually pretty much the same, so what's the right to talk about you...... I don't have any friends. ”

Then, as if to say to herself, "So, because like-minded friends are precious to us, we should cherish them even more, shouldn't we?" If you can only talk to yourself with your eyes closed for the rest of your life, what is the difference between it and sleepwalking......"

What strange metaphor is this? Aiglon was a little unpredictable.

He has seen his peers too rarely, and so far he has only one friend, Teresa, so I can't tell if he doesn't understand.

Since you can't think about it, there's no need to think about it.

In addition, now, it is time to take the opportunity to speak out.

Aglon paused, then looked at Teresa with a serious expression.

"Teresa, actually...... I was just about to tell you something. ”

"What's the matter? Please say it. Theresa was a little surprised.

…… When the words came to his mouth, Agron was a little embarrassed. He took his nerve before he spoke again.

"Teresa, I take the liberty of asking you a question...... Are you interested in ...... What do you think about marriage? Even Agron, who had never cared what other people thought, knew that it was a bit presumptuous to ask such a question in front of a girl, but he could only ask it head-on.

Sure enough, as he expected, Teresa's eyes widened suddenly, and then the glow was red, and then she forcibly turned her head away and looked in the direction of the side.

“…… Sorry, I may have asked the wrong question. Aglon hurriedly apologized, "If you're embarrassed, it doesn't matter if you don't need to say it." ”

"It's okay, it's okay...... You should have known, but in fact you cared about it...... Surprise me. Teresa's breathing was a little messy, so she was a little short of words, "I...... I don't really know how to answer, family members like me should listen to their elders when it comes to marriage, right? If both parents nod their heads, how can we disagree? So, let the mother decide when the time comes......"

For some reason, Aglon suddenly remembered what she had said last night.

"In other words, you're still hesitating, aren't you?" He put aside his distractions, and then spoke carefully, "Teresa, to be honest, I'm not sure if my current state can give people happiness. So I don't dare to promise anything, and I don't want to drag others down. I feel like I need to take stock of my future before I make a decision that doesn't hurt others. ”

As he spoke, Teresa's face turned pale.

"So, what do you mean...... Am I unworthy? After a moment, she asked.

"No, I'm worried that I'm not worthy of you, so I think ...... It should be carefully considered. Aiglon replied.

"Aiglon, I'...... Can I also take the liberty of asking you a question? Teresa spoke suddenly.

"No problem, just ask." Agron nodded.

"The reason why you think that is...... Is it because of His Highness? Teresa looked at Aglon and whispered, "Maybe I did think about it, but I feel ...... I feel like your words are almost exactly what she said that night, almost as if she taught you to say that. ”

"No...... No, it's my own thoughts. Aglon shook his head.

"Is that so?" Teresa looked at Aglon with an expression on her face.

Then, she nodded slightly, "Well, if that's your wish, that's okay, I'll take it." Perhaps we do need to think carefully and make a decision that is good for everyone. ”

Aglon breathed a sigh of relief.

"But...... I'm not a bully either. Your Highness. ”

Teresa suddenly said another word, then left him behind, turned and walked straight away.
