31. Encouragement

Aiglon's explanation made Chanel, who had been a little foggy before, finally understand the whole train of thought of the master.

After thinking about it, she couldn't help but feel sincere admiration for his plan.

"Your Highness, you are amazing!"

"I just have time to think. Thanks to the care of the Habsburg royal family, I didn't have to fulfill the ceremonial obligations of the emperor, and I didn't have a large group of favored courtiers around me all the time to flatter, so I had time to think. "Again, I want to stress that even if we do everything, we still have to wait for luck to come and not do anything superfluous until it comes. ”

"Yes." Chanel immediately responded, and then comforted his master. "Your Highness, you were right before, God will definitely take care of you, He let you come to the world as a darling, how can he be willing to let you become an outcast? Luck will come, and those two Highnesses will surely become God's messengers and come to your rescue. ”

Aglon smiled wryly and looked at Chanel.

Her expression was fanatical and reverent, and she was clearly convinced of what she was saying, rather than comforting herself.

She was more convinced of victory than he was herself.

While it is a good thing to have a strong follower, it is ...... Some illusions should be broken as soon as possible.

"Even if my two cousins had come to my rescue, they would not have been called God's messengers, but rather the opposite." He explained in a low voice, "The people of the Bonaparte family are all ambitious, and my uncles, who do not have a fuel-efficient lamp, are all pretentious, and they use my father to enter the house, but once they become the weather, they will do everything they can to tear down my father!" So did my cousins."

What Aiglon said was the truth, in fact, Napoleon was so angry with these brothers that he tried his best to get his brothers one crown after another, and after becoming king, these brothers kept tearing him down.

His third brother, Lucien, fell out with him because of marital problems, and as a result, he ran away to Rome to live in seclusion; After the fourth brother Louis became the king of the Netherlands, he refused to obey Napoleon's continental blockade order according to the position of the Dutch, and finally Napoleon was so angry that Napoleon revoked his throne and directly let France annex the Netherlands.

Napoleon once said angrily, "They really seem to think that their crown is given by God", which means that the brothers do not know gratitude, and only regard the crown they have received as a matter of course, but Eugène, the righteous son who is not surnamed Bonaparte, is loyal and honest.

Of course, Chanel knew these allusions as a Bonaparte, but she just didn't expect that the next generation of the Bonaparte family would also continue the style of the older generation.

"Are these two Highnesses really like this? You...... Aren't you a little pessimistic? After all, you haven't seen them since you came to Austria. ”

"I don't need to see it to know that this is the continuation of the bloodline." Aglon replied firmly, after all, he certainly couldn't answer the real reason why he knew.

"The two Louis-Bonaparte brothers are not fundamentally different from their fathers. So Chanel, don't have any illusions about them, they're just the ones I need to work with. They will come to my rescue, not because they love me, but because they need me. After all, as long as I live, I am the only banner of the Bonaparte family, and the call I issue has the effect of Napoleon, without me they can do nothing, and they must borrow me if they want to do great things. ”

Aglon said, looking at the other party sincerely, "And you are different, you are my loyal subordinate, someone I can trust completely-"

"Your Highness......" was so praised by Aigron, Chanel was so excited and excited, and could hardly speak.

"The road must be taken step by step, and now that I am in prison, if I can regain my freedom, I can make a deal with the devil, let alone use the ambitions of my cousins." Aiglon smiled and nodded to her, "But as long as I run out, then I am my own master, and the only leader of Bonaparte's supporters, and no one can manipulate me!" If they don't obey me, I will subdue them, and I will not make the mistakes of my fathers again! ”

Chanel nodded convincingly.

Her heart admired her master even more.

"I see...... Your Highness. No matter what happens, no matter who you are against you, I will be on your side. ”

"I want to thank you, Chanel." Aiglon reached out and stroked the blonde hair beneath her turban. "Also, Chanel, I would like to advise you not to expect too much from me. Although you may have pinned your thirst for revenge on me, and deliberately imagined me as an angel who wields a sword on behalf of God, a sage who can do everything and knows, I'm sorry I'm just a mortal.

I will suffer from gains and losses, I will also be afraid and hesitant, I can't predict everything, the only thing I can be better than ordinary people is to adapt to the situation, and at the same time, after identifying one thing, I will continue with the conviction of sleepwalking, even if it costs a lot. Other than that, I don't see anything extraordinary about me. ”

"But Your Highness ......," Chanel closed her eyes, enjoying the warm touch on her forehead, "and the more you say that, the more I revere you. ”

"True reverence is not shouting greatness no matter what the other person does, and I can't afford this kind of blind worship." Aiglon shook his head, then withdrew his hand, "The reverence I want from me is to make my admirers sigh 'Alas, he's just a mortal, he's done something wrong', and then earnestly adds, 'But even so I revere him'." I wish I could do it. ”

"So...... What do you want me to do? Chanel asked curiously.

"Every time I am discouraged, scared, or in pain, comfort me and tell me that I am doing the right thing and that what I am doing is not meaningless. I admit that moments of exposure of my weakness are a bit dangerous, and I only dare to entrust to those I trust. Besides......" Aglon said, yawning again, and added tiredly, "Rub my shoulders, I'm really tired now." ”

The abrupt turn in the young man's tone made Chanel stunned and couldn't help but laugh again.

"It is my pleasure, Your Highness."

With that, Aglon left his desk and sat down on the chaise longue next to the fireplace.

The chaise longue swayed up and down slightly, and Chanel gently kneaded his shoulders, and the long-lost comfort made Aglon squint in confusion.

"Your Highness, you are doing everything right." In a trance, he seemed to hear someone whispering in his ear, "And you're not alone anymore." ”

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

The next day, according to the instructions of Her Royal Highness the Princess, Aglon went to visit Princess Sophie with his preliminarily completed manuscript.

Because she hadn't gotten up for a long time, Her Royal Highness the princess only wore a lilac silk robe, which was much more homely than her usual appearance.

"I didn't expect you to be so concerned." Princess Sophie was a little surprised by the speed and efficiency of the young man.

"Of course, I never like to give up halfway." Aiglon replied with a little pride.

"Then let me see what kind of story our Aiglon is going to tell~" Princess Sophie laughed delightfully and mockingly.

She took the manuscript, and then lazily half lay on the sofa, flipping through it carelessly, her neckline slightly open and closed with the movement of her arms, and her fair skin loomed with it, like that of a lady in a literary salon.

However, as time passed, her expression became more serious, and her brow furrowed slightly.

After a while, she suddenly raised her head, and then glared at the boy.

"Are you not satisfied?" Aglon hurriedly asked.

"Your heroine is so weak!" Princess Sophie said with some dissatisfaction, "Suicide is a cowardly escape, what problem can it solve?" And even if you want to commit suicide, you should return to China first, and then find an opportunity to kill that bastard lover with one shot, and then it's not too late to die, right? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's just a story, and she silently committed suicide to add to the tragedy of the ending. Agron replied with some reluctance. Then he asked with some curiosity, "Why do you only kill your mistress?" The king and her husband were also very bad for her? ”

"Of course." Princess Sophie gave him a blank look, "If a man walks on the desert and dies of thirst, and then a man next to him gives him a kettle with pity, and he plucks up his last strength to open it, but it turns out to be empty, isn't this kind of joke more cruel than any despair?" Isn't it more vicious to give a woman hope first and then despair than to give her despair? ”

"It seems to make some sense." Aiglon thought for a moment, then nodded. "So...... Do you want me to change it? Any suggested changes? ”

"No...... No need. Princess Sophie thought for a moment, then shook her head and sighed, "If it is changed according to my opinion, it will not be your story, forget it...... So be it, but I reserve my opinion. It's a good story, Agron, and it's worth writing about, perfecting the details, and then putting it on stage, and I think someone will see it. ”

Then, she let out a long sigh of relief, "Aiglon, you really didn't disappoint me! Being able to write a story from the beginning shows that you have some talent. ”

Aiglon could see that she was genuinely happy in myself.

So he was happy, after all, who doesn't like to hear compliments.

"Okay, let's keep working hard, now that it's already started, let's finish it well." Princess Sophie sat up, then encouraged the young man. "I'll try to help you in other ways, too."

Then she asked, "By the way, why did you think of such a story?" ”

"Maybe it's because I'm prone to sentimentality in such a situation." Aiglon replied with a wry smile, "There's nothing else to do anyway. ”

"Then write a cheerful story next time, with me here, can't you still be happy?" Princess Sophie blinked.

"Alright......" Aiglon nodded. I can write a comedy for you. ”

"Then we'll settle it." Princess Sophie nodded, and then asked, "By the way, have you thought about the name of the heroine?" ”

"Haven't thought about it yet, do you have any suggestions?" Aglon replied.

"Why don't you call it Teresa?" Princess Sophie looked at him with a smile.

Aglon was stunned.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Why is it called that? Then he asked in a whisper.

"Of course I'm joking." Seeing his appearance, Her Royal Highness couldn't help but burst out laughing.
