12. Training with gifts

Princess Sophie watched with a snarky look as Her Excellency the Prime Minister disappeared across the corridor, and then she walked back into her room. Of course, it was impossible for Agron to know about Sophie's quarrel with Metternich just now, but from her performance just now, he had already guessed a little.

"Your Highness, did you quarrel with him just now?" He asked.

"It's not a quarrel, it's just a discussion with him about what to do while you're recuperating." Princess Sophie replied lightly, and then sat back down at the head of the bed.

"Actually...... It doesn't have to be like this, he has his position, and his attitude towards me is not particularly bad. Aglon smiled wryly, "He's a politician who has no love or hate for people. ”

"What I'm not satisfied with is not his character, but his attitude, and his habit of not taking us seriously at that time!" Princess Sophie narrowed her eyes slightly, looking quite dissatisfied, "His Majesty the Emperor just trusts him too much, so he is used to his attitude...... No matter how powerful he is in front of others, but he is always subordinate, how dare he treat us with such an attitude? ”

When she said this, her tone couldn't help but be a little mean, "Hmph, my former surname was Wittelsbach, and now my surname is Habsburg, either of which is a hundred times more prominent than his shabby surname, who knows what the Metternich family was a few decades ago?" Now you dare to see no one in front of us...... I didn't reprimand him in front of the others, which was already very face-saving for him. ”

"But Bonaparte and de Beauarne weren't prominent surnames a few decades ago......" Aiglon whispered.

"I can't see that you're really a kid who likes to talk back." Princess Sophie twisted his face slightly, and then said, "Of course you are not the sameβ€”don't ask what is different, I say different is different." ”

"Well, that's different." Aglon could only smile smirked.

He could feel that after this accident, he and Princess Sophie, who were already quite harmonious, had become a little closer.

Although it is impossible to count on her to help him escape, at least he has one more protector in this court, and he is one of the most important members of the court, which means that he can live a lot more comfortably here.

And it's a very pleasant experience to be with her.

So, now there is only one thing that needs to be solved - how to keep Chanel by his side without a trace?

"There's one more thing I want to thank you for." With this purpose in mind, he spoke cautiously, "Your maid took care of me very carefully last night and made me feel very comfortable. ”

"Really?" Princess Sophie glanced back at Chanel, then nodded, "Well done, Chanel." ”

Chanel just bowed.

"In that case, let her stay and continue to take care of you during this time, you are surrounded by a bunch of old guys who are exhausted, so how can you recover quickly." Princess Sophie casually suggested, "Besides, if she is by your side, it will be much easier for you to convey anything to me......"

"Huh?" Aglon was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the request he wanted to make had already been fulfilled before it was actually made.

For a moment, his heart was full of happiness and emotion, "Thank you for thinking so much about me......"

"So you have to listen to me too." Sophie smiled and replied, "I just hope what I've done will convince you that not everyone here is against you......"

Then, after a few more conversations, the two men reluctantly left, and as Aglon had hoped, the maid Chanel stayed.

"Your Highness, that's great......" After the door closed again, Chanel breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's too early to rejoice." Aglon returned to his usual calm.

He tried to move his legs and move his body.

Then he struggled to sit up, the pain in his body causing him to moan quietly, but he sat up smoothly.

"Your Highness!" Chanel was startled and hurried to his side.

"It's okay." Aiglon raised his finger to stop him, "I seem to be recovering faster than I thought." ”

"Are you really okay?" Chanel was still a little worried, and kept looking at him, "Why don't you continue to lie down and rest......"

Aiglon glanced at her and told her to stop talking.

"I appreciate you worrying about my health, Chanel." After a moment of silence, he spoke, "But, since you believe that you owe me allegiance, you should understand that I am the one who gives the order, and you are only responsible for carrying it out...... So, if I didn't ask for your opinion, then you should not question it and do what I say, understand? ”

"Your Highness...... "Chanel's expression was full of grievances, "I just ...... Just worried about your ......"

"I know, but so what? I just need you to do what I want. Aglon replied coldly, "Unfortunately, I can't give you much forgiveness in the current circumstances, and I won't blame you for repenting now and acting as if nothing happened between us." ”

Even if he couldn't see his face, he knew that his expression was very unshutten, and he knew that he was very unkind, and even a little ignorant.

But he was convinced that he needed to do so in his own situation.

The maid Chanel's will for revenge is very obvious and determined, but she is obviously not trained in any way, and she does not look like an experienced military advisor, but she is full of loyalty and vengeance. Such a person is actually quite dangerous, because the slightest mistake will be seen by the rest of the court that something is wrong.

But it doesn't matter, she needs to be trained from time to time (or poured cold water like this now) to finally let her abandon her jerky excitement and learn how to obey in silence.

Since hatred will make people learn to be angry, then of course it will also make people learn to forbear.

Under his gaze, Chanel froze for a moment, and finally bowed his head heavily.

"I see, Your Highness. I'll do what you ask, so please don't drive me away......"

I'm sorry. Aiglon whispered to himself.

Does it make sense to make people pay such a price? He didn't know, but since she had chosen this path by herself, she had no choice but to keep going.

He retracted his thoughts, then moved his neck and hands a little, and then he moved his legs slightly, and got out of bed and stood up.

As soon as he stood on the floor, he felt a little dizzy and his legs trembled and disobeyed, but he still forcibly controlled his body and finally stood firmly.

Chanel's eyes were still full of worry and anxiety, but she didn't speak in the end, as if she had listened to him.

Agron continued to move his body, and found that he still couldn't walk steadily.

Yes, much better than expected, I was able to get out of bed so quickly, so it should not be long before I can return to normal body functions. But there's no need to push yourself anymore.

"Now give me a hand." Aiglon spoke.

Chanel, who had finally waited for the order, finally breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the young man's side, hugged his body, and held him steady.

Once she was steady, Agron took a step and walked to his usual desk with her support.

Next, he opened the drawer on the second floor.

"Chanel?"

"Do you have any orders, Your Highness?" Chanel asked.

Instead of answering immediately, Aglon took something out of his drawer and handed it to the other party.

In an instant, a burst of jewels suddenly added a few points to the already very bright room.

"Yikes!" The maid let out a scream.

She clearly noticed that Aiglon was holding a pocket watch, which was richly decorated, with a gold-encrusted enamel shell and a letter "N" made out of small diamonds.

The boy opened the case, because it had not been used for many years, and the scale of the pocket watch had long since stopped, and the inner wall was decorated with the emblem of bees.

Looking at this pocket watch, Chanel's eyes were suddenly confused - after all, how many girls can resist the charm of jewelry.

"It's so pretty......" she couldn't help but sigh.

"Of course it's beautiful, it's a custom-made royal item from the Imperial Family, a gift from my father when I was a child." Aiglon replied in a whisper, "The bee is the emblem of the Bonaparte family. ”

"That's so......" Chanel blinked, staring intently at the historic gift.

"I gave it to you."

"Hmm...... Well...... Well?! The sudden remark made Chanel feel as if he was hallucinating.

"I gave it to you." The boy repeated it again.

"You gave it to me? Why......? Chanel's eyes widened, "I...... I don't deserve this gift, I'm just a maid......"

"It's okay, I'll give it to you." "I won't need it anyway," Agron insisted. Since I came here, I've been forbidden to use anything that conjures up the name Napoleon, and even the handkerchief has been changed from N to F...... I managed to hide it, but if I keep it in my hand, I'll just hide it in it like I have now, so I might as well give it to you. ”

[Historical facts, but pocket watches are fictional]

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty...... "Chanel was both cherished and moved," you...... You've been so good to me...... I don't deserve your ......"

"Have you forgotten what I said again?" Aiglon looked at Chanel.

It was then that Chanel realized that he had violated the rules against challenging orders.

"Yes...... It's ......" She quickly took the valuable pocket watch from Aiglon with excitement, and her hands were shaking as she took it.

Then, solemnly tucked it away in her bosom, her expression solemn, and then she looked at the boy again, as if full of enthusiasm.

Aiglon watched the maid's reaction, and was quite satisfied.

The two people have just met now, and although the other party is extremely dependent on their trust, if they blindly suppress it, it will only backfire, and they should be rewarded appropriately.

Gold, silver, and jewelry didn't mean anything to him at all, and he didn't care at all.

In addition, this gift can also be used as a token, and when he needs to contact people outside the palace in the future, as long as others see this thing, they will believe that Chanel is the person next to him.

"Chanel, I'll remember promising you something." He repeated his promise again, making the other party feel his sincerity.

"I will reward you with everything I have......" Chanel bowed.

"Help me to the window." Aiglon shifted the subject.

"Yes." Chanel immediately complied, and helped him to the window.

"Is this palace beautiful?" Agron asked suddenly.

"Very beautiful, Your Highness." Chanel replied.

"It's beautiful, but ...... I don't love it. "It doesn't belong to me, but I like what belongs to me." ”

Chanel closed her eyes slightly.
