47, Cinderella
Pretending to be a couple?
As the thought crossed his mind, Aglon suddenly lost his words.
It was a crazy idea that terrified him.
He hadn't made any plans for it, and it was impossible for him to make such a dangerous move on the spur of the moment.
The more critical question is, what will Princess Sophie think? If she doesn't like or even hate this idea, then I'm afraid it means that her previous efforts to get closer to the relationship between the two people have been wasted all of a sudden.
So, caution must be exercised.
But although he told himself in his heart that he couldn't mess around, he was excited by this sudden thought.
He blinked and looked at Princess Sophie, who was helplessly allowing himself to squeeze her hand and watch the performance on stage.
Looking at her annoyed and slightly embarrassed face, Aglon couldn't help but feel excited.
Would she really be unwilling? He asked himself.
Either way, he wanted to give it a try, even if it was at the risk.
If you want something but don't dare to do anything because of timidity, then you can't get anything.
Of course, it wasn't this moment that he wasn't mentally prepared, and neither did she......
"What's wrong with you? In a daze again? Seeing his strange behavior, Princess Sophie couldn't help but tilt her head and ask with concern.
"Your Highness, you are so beautiful that I forgot my words for a while." Aiglon blurted out, "I'm willing to pay any price in exchange for staying for this moment." ”
"Don't go crazy!" Princess Sophie immediately blushed and rebuked him angrily, but did not do anything, but turned her head away, as if she did not dare to look him in the eye again.
Unconsciously, although she was as kind to him as ever, it seemed that she was no longer the strong tolerance of the elders to the younger generations, but had a lot more girlish shyness.
Yes, she is also enjoying the youth she once lost.
"If admiring you is madness, then please let me lose all my mind." Aiglon replied in a whisper.
Then, without saying a word, he brushed away His Highness's fingers with his hand, and then reached directly into the gap between the tips of his fingers, and the two of them crossed their fingers and held it like this.
"Aiglon! You're ridiculous today! Princess Sophie glared at him again, "I'll be angry if I do this again!" ”
Okay, so let's stop there.
"Your Highness, please don't abandon me...... "I'm a bad boy for upsetting you, causing trouble for you, and maybe doing things that make you even more angry in the future, but even then...... I also want to brazenly ask you not to abandon me and not to forget the love between us...... May I? Because, I really don't want to lose you. ”
These words were not lines he had thought out in advance, and they had not been rehearsed in his head, which was a rare expression of his true feelings.
It was the heart that he prayed for that cared for him.
That heart was destined to be broken by him once, but even then he wanted to beg for forgiveness because he couldn't bear the cost of losing it.
"Hey...... Why are you scared like this? Seeing him so nervous, Princess Sophie thought that her tone was too heavy to scare the boy, so she quickly changed her tone, "I just told you not to be too much, what are you doing so scared?" Alas...... Well, hold it if you want. It's really overwhelming. ”
After a pause, she smiled again and reassured the young man, "Don't worry, I won't abandon my sweet and lovely ......."
"Really? That's great. Aiglon calmed down. I was relieved. ”
"Okay, don't make a fuss, I still have to watch the show." Princess Sophie, with a friendly smile, stroked his hair with her other hand, acquiescing to his rude and abrupt behavior, "Alas, what would you have done without me......"
With that, she turned her head back to look at the stage.
Although it seemed helpless, her expression at the moment was shy and excited, and her fair face revealed a reddish glow, inadvertently revealing her true mood at the moment.
Aiglon held her hand all the time, feeling the warm touch of her palm.
There is no doubt that he has received the indescribable grace of His Highness, and even such an out-of-the-ordinary act has been gently tolerated by her.
But how could he be satisfied with such a small gain?
The more gentle and amiable His Highness is to himself, the more the young man desires more, and his soul has become extremely dry after years of imprisonment, and when he finally meets someone who is willing to exert kindness and tenderness on him, his heart is like a sponge, eager to devour more, and he does not know where to be satisfied.
Time passed imperceptibly, and gradually, the drama on the stage came to an end, and then the curtain came to an end.
The audience burst into warm applause, apparently quite well for the show.
"It's a shame it's over so soon...... This drama is pretty good. Her Royal Highness sighed, as if reluctant to let the drama end.
She adjusted her mood, and finally returned to her usual bearing, if she ignored the hands held by the two people.
"yes, it's pretty good." Aiglon casually chimed in.
In fact, he didn't care about the performance on the stage at all, or rather, he was not in the mood to pay attention to the stage at all.
There was silence again.
"So, it's time for you to let go, Aiglon." Princess Sophie gestured to the boy with her eyes, "The time is almost up, we can't just walk out like this, can we?" ”
"Yes, Your Highness." Agron nodded.
Although he was unwilling, he understood the embarrassment of Her Royal Highness the princess, so he obediently let go of his hand.
Princess Sophie, who had finally been relieved, breathed a sigh of relief and then gestured to Agron. "Alright, let's go, it's time to go home."
"It's not home, it's just where I live." But Aiglon did not immediately take a step, but replied coldly and dejectedly, "There, Miss Sophia Memmingen is going to change back into Her Royal Highness Princess Sophie...... Cinterella put on the crystal slipper and became a princess, but this princess of mine can only occasionally wear the crystal slipper to become Cantirela. ”
"Don't talk stupid, it's the same me everywhere." Princess Sophie shook her head, "Even there, I'm taking care of you." ”
"But the prince only wants Centirela, not the princess." Agron replied stubbornly.
Princess Sophie understood, and she smiled a little helplessly.
"But, don't worry, Centirela doesn't want to be an ignorant silly girl this time, she studied under the witch, and sooner or later she will hold the wand of power, and then she can be a princess and a Cinterella, and whatever His Royal Highness wants, Centirela can give to him with a flick of her wand...... Isn't it wonderful that the story ends like this, Aiglon? ”
Yes, if this is the end, everything seems so wonderful, as if in a fairyland.
However, it was this "sooner or later", damn it sooner or later, that decided everything!
An uncontrollable anger surged over Agron's heart.
Of course, this anger was not directed at his Cintilella, but the teasing and helplessness of history against the Roman king and himself.
You must know that the dying Emperor Franz lived for almost ten years, and after his death, the mentally retarded prince Ferdinand, who was sick and looked like he would die at any time, became the emperor for more than ten years, and after 22 years, Centirella forcibly forced the emperor to abdicate, and then ordered her husband not to succeed to the throne, and gave the throne of the Habsburgs to her son, and finally she really became the queen mother and mastered the magic wand of imperial power.
Historically, the Roman king and Princess Sophie were also extremely close, perhaps with the expectation of a fairytale ending for Seditilla together, and died unwillingly and painfully.
Fairy tales are just fairy tales after all, and reality can always shatter them.
Even if he can escape illness and accidents and live to a few decades later, he will not be able to pay the price of waiting 22 years for a fairy tale. If you don't know, you've been driven crazy a long time ago.
So, no matter how good it looks, he can't make this choice.
So...... Rather than waiting for the witch to slowly and leisurely give the wand to Ceditilla, he would have risen and snatched the wand from the witch's hand and used it as he pleased.
Yes, that's the only way to go.
Fate can only be in your own hands, and if it is taken away by others, then find a way to get it back. It's worth paying any price for it.
Only by regaining control of his own destiny can he find the Cinderella that awaits him with dignity.
In the rushing rhapsody, the guilt that had been faintly painful in the young man's heart gave way to passion, and he once again ignited a raging fire in his heart.
"Aiglon, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that the boy was still in a daze, Princess Sophie couldn't help but urge him, "Let's go, if it's too late, there really won't be enough time." ”
"Sister Sophia." The young man looked up suddenly, "I remember what you just said. ”
"What did I say?" Princess Sophie blinked, not understanding what was wrong with him.
"You said that this small world is our world, that it belongs to the world of Sophia Memmingen and Franz Memmingen – so you are still Sophia Memmingen until you take a step here." Aiglon looked at Her Royal Highness quietly with a serious expression.
"That's true." Princess Sophie nodded. "What's wrong......!"
As she spoke, she saw the young man moving towards her, and she instinctively felt the danger.
"I'm going to hug Sophia Memmingen, I'm going to hug Centiella." Aiglon replied indifferently. "Even if it's just here."
Although the tone is flat, it is extremely resolute.
Sophie panicked in front of his willpower.
Then she was shocked to see that the young man had moved.
"Hey!" She let out a small exclamation.
But in terms of skill, how could she be able to compete with the young man who studied swordsmanship since childhood?
In the midst of her small exclamation, she took it in her arms.
"What are you doing?!" She asked anxiously.
"Just hug for a while. The magic given by the fairy doesn't disappear until twelve o'clock, doesn't it? At least for now, it's working. "Don't worry, I'll never do anything rough to you, I just want to hug you." ”
"You...... You are really ......" Her Royal Highness was ashamed and annoyed, but after a moment, she sighed softly, "Hey...... It can only be a short while, and there is really no time. ”
