"You know who's best for you."
Princess Sophie's tone was flat, but it seemed like she was unconsciously proclaiming something.
Aiglon looked at her face, and suddenly realized why Princess Sophie was acting a little differently today.
She is obviously entrapping herself, and this entrapment should come from a sense of crisis.
Yes, Teresa's marriage, although it has not yet been decided, has already given her a sense of crisis, making her afraid of losing her intimacy with herself, so she deliberately makes herself more accommodating, even a little flattering - she unintentionally emphasizes this, that is, subconsciously hopes that she will approve of this kindness.
Once people have something that they are afraid of losing, they will suffer from gains and losses, and this has always been the case.
Now that he has figured it out, he only has one thing to say now.
"You're the best guy for me." He replied in a whisper. "Thanks to your care, I have found joy in living here, and I am forever grateful for your kindness."
After hearing this answer, Princess Sophie raised her forehead slightly, a little surprised, but more surprised.
"If you know, it's good."
Her smile bloomed like a flower, and it was clear that this sentence met her expectations more than anything else.
Aiglon knew he had guessed right.
Then, as if she was not at ease, she emphasized again, "Aiglon, you must remember what you said." ”
"I'll remember." Aiglon replied solemnly.
However, although he was grateful on the surface, he also felt a little guilty in his heart.
Because he knew that while he was pleasing her, he was taking advantage of her without hesitation.
Maybe he can find a way to say all kinds of nice things to make His Highness happy now, but sooner or later, she will see what she has done, and at that time, how should she be affected?
Of course it didn't matter if he really had a heart like a stone and didn't care about her feelings at all, but he wasn't so ruthless that he couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the scene that was destined to come.
"What's wrong, Aiglon?" Seeing that he was suddenly silent in thought, Princess Sophie asked.
"Nothing, just thinking about how to make you happy—" Aglon disguised.
"Make me happy?" Princess Sophie was surprised and delighted, "Do you still think about this?" Sure enough, I grew up. ”
After a moment, she changed her words, "Didn't I say that day?" It's easy to make me happy, just listen to me, stay with me, and I'll take care of the rest......"
But there's no way to do that...... Aglon couldn't help but feel a little throbbing in his heart.
"I'll try." All he could do was smile and nodded.
Princess Sophie was so delighted by Eglon's words that she continued to discuss the script with Agron, and only after a long time did she get up to take her leave.
"Remember, Agron, tomorrow night." Before leaving, she emphasized, "We're going to be a blockbuster." ”
"Well, I believe so, too." Aiglon nodded, then stood up to see His Highness off.
Back in his room, Aglon slumped down on the couch, somewhat tired.
"Chanel, get me some water, I'm a little thirsty......"
It's not so much the tiredness of a dry mouth, but the mental pressure, while affectionately coaxing His Highness to be happy while not hesitating to escape from her, this kind of mental pressure is a little unbearable even for him, but this kind of pressure can't be revealed in front of her, so it is extremely hard.
"Yes, Your Highness." Chanel saw Agron's tired appearance and responded distressedly.
She immediately poured a glass of water and handed it to Aglon, who took the tea and drank it down.
The cool liquid finally drove away his mental exhaustion and made him squint comfortably.
"Your Highness, are you uncomfortable?" Chanel cautiously asked, "Are you sorry for Your Highness?" ”
"It seems that you do have a good ability to read words." Aglon smiled wryly and replied, "Yes, it does...... If there was anyone I cared about in this court, it was her, and I felt a little sick at the thought that I had deceived her, and that I was destined to run away from her when she was so reluctant to let me go. ”
"Your Highness...... I can understand your feelings. Chanel let out a distressed sigh, "I think anyone in your situation will feel sorry for Her Highness the Princess." ”
"Of course, even so, I still won't change my mind, no matter how uncomfortable it is, it's the path I choose, and I will bear the result." "But I still wish I could make her less painful, and sure enough, I'm a little ridiculous, right?" I want to hurt people again, and I want to hurt not deep enough......"
Chanel hesitated, she knew that there were some things that she shouldn't say in her capacity, but seeing her master's distressed look, she couldn't pretend to turn a blind eye.
"Your Highness, if you are afraid that she will be too uncomfortable at that time, I think ...... You can draw a line between you and Your Highness in moderation. She cautiously said, "If the relationship between ordinary friends is maintained, I think Your Highness will be able to withstand this kind of blow even if it is uncomfortable." ”
Agron, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly opened his eyes, and then raised his head slightly to look at Chanel who was standing in front of him.
The eyes were so sharp that Chanel suddenly turned pale with fright and shivered.
"Your Highness...... I...... I'm just suggesting, you don't have to take it seriously......"
Agron quickly suppressed his anger and replied indifferently. "It's okay, I won't blame you, you're trying to figure it out for me. It's just that I'm sorry I can't accept this idea. ”
He knew that Chanel was the most normal and most fulfilling suggestion that would solve the problem to the greatest extent.
However, he was unwilling, he could not accept that he and His Highness Sophie had drawn a line.
Especially, after tasting that hug and kiss...... The young man's heart has already throbbed for this, how can he be willing to let go?
So it becomes a dead knot.
He didn't want to hurt Sophie too much, he didn't want to let go of her, and he didn't want to give up his plan.
It's almost an impossible triangle to achieve all three at the same time.
And which of the three to choose, he has actually already made a choice.
He couldn't whitewash what he had done, and he knew he had to recognize the price he had to pay.
"I'll make it up to her ......," as if hypnotizing himself, and in the silence, the boy suddenly muttered to himself, "No matter what, I'll make it up to her later...... As long as there is victory, everything is salvageable. ”
=================================================
Princess Sophie did what she said, and on the evening of the second day, someone came to summon him to meet His Highness.
Like last time, they changed their clothes and rode in a carriage to the Ruby Theater, where they had booked a box last time.
Of course, the theater still remembers these two generous patrons, and as soon as they arrived, someone took them upstairs to the box.
"Call your manager, I have something to explain to him." As soon as she went upstairs, Princess Sophie ordered the waiters.
Although he changed into a commoner's costume, of course, his daily habits are not so easy to change, and His Highness still has the habit of calling people.
But this set was unexpectedly eaten outside, and the waiter immediately obeyed the young woman's orders.
Soon, the manager of the theater also rushed to the box.
"Miss Memmingen!" As soon as he looked at him, the middle-aged man immediately saluted Princess Sophie with an exaggerated courtesy, "You are still as radiant as last time, and you are better looking than our actress." ”
He still remembers the last turmoil, and of course he can see that although the two sisters and brothers don't know the origin, they are definitely either rich or expensive, and they are so generous as soon as they make a move, so he will definitely want to slap them hard.
And he could see that the dominant member of the group was this Miss Sophia Memmingen, and judging by her commanding attitude, she must have been a good person at home, and as long as she pleased her, she was not afraid that money would not roll in.
"Good evening, sir." Princess Sophie, who has been accustomed to other people's flattery and praise since she was a child, of course she doesn't eat this set, "I delayed your time because I wanted to talk about what we said last time." ”
The manager paused for a moment before remembering.
Then, he looked at Aiglon who was silent. "Is it a matter of the young master's script?"
"Since you remember, then I'll save trouble." Princess Sophie nodded immediately, "How's it going?" ”
The manager smiled embarrassedly, "Actually...... Let me tell you, every year there are many young people who want to make a blockbuster, dream of being a playwright, and want to send us a play, but most of the works end up in the wastebasket, not because we look down on them, but because of the work...... It wasn't that easy. The young master is young, and he may have some strange dreams, but I think he has such a good life, but there is no point in asking for hardships......"
"Having said all this, isn't it just a matter of price?" Princess Sophie frowned, "I said, we are responsible for all the costs, if you don't like it, don't talk nonsense, let's go find another house!" ”
"Miss, don't do this!" The manager shook his head suddenly, "I just gave advice to your brother, and I didn't say no...... As long as you're willing to bear the cost, that's not a problem. But I still want to remind you that the cost is definitely more than you think, after all, the actors and props cost a lot of money......"
"I'll just handle these things myself, and I don't need you to worry about me." Princess Sophie smiled. "You just have to do your job."
Then, she didn't say much, but glanced at Chanel, who was standing next to her.
Chanel immediately handed the prepared script to the manager.
Alas, it's good to be rich, to play all sorts of tricks!
The manager took the script with a little helplessness and disdain.
It's so carefully bound that it looks like that.
The manager flipped through it casually and looked at Juanxiu's handwriting.
"Is this really written by the young master?" He was a little confused.
"Ah, my hands have been inconvenient lately, so I dictated and asked the maid to write it for me." Aglon replied, "That's out of the way. ”
"Out of the way, certainly not in the way......" the manager shook his head.
Then he looked through it.
