"It's a pleasure to see you again, Your Highness Teresa."

In full view, Aglon calmly saluted Princess Teresa.

Unlike the last time she saw her, Princess Teresa today is dressed in a rich white dress with embroidered patterns, a diamond brooch pinned to her chest, and delicate lace on the cuffs.

She wore a pearl necklace around her slender neck, her chestnut hair cascading down like a waterfall, and the glow of her jewels made her skin whiter and brighter.

With such a luxurious dress, it is naturally more "like" to Her Royal Highness a princess than at that time.

But for some reason, Aiglon felt that the other party was the same as last time, without any domineering arrogance.

As he watched, Teresa also lifted her skirt and bowed to him as well.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Highness."

Her voice was soft, and although her demeanor was as calm and graceful as the last time, she always seemed to feel a little nervous.

"Aren't you used to being watched?" Aiglon asked, lowering his voice.

"Yes...... It's a little. Her Royal Highness looked slightly embarrassed, "I'm not used to this. ”

"You'll get used to it eventually." Aglon laughed, "After all, in terms of your status, as long as you step into the social world, you are destined to become the center of attention in the future. ”

"I'm afraid you're revealing a ...... of a future that's not so pleasant," Teresa lowered her gaze with some frustration.

"You are not so scared at all, after all, everyone will only look up to you, and you have everything they envy, whether it is looks or status." Aiglon comforted her.

"That's even worse......" the girl sighed in a low voice. This is what scares me the most - I am just lucky enough to be born into this great family, it is like winning the lottery once, I have not personally contributed to it, I have no reason to be revered by everyone, the only honor is my surname. So people are just looking up at the noble but empty name of Teresa von Habsburg, and the more this happens, the more I feel that I am insignificant, and no matter who changes under this name, I will be looked up to...... Really, being reminded of my insignificance over and over again really makes me feel ashamed. ”

Teresa's remarks made Aglon slightly stunned, he didn't expect Teresa to say such a thing in his own exclusive night.

For most girls of this age, such a scene should be an unattainable dream for their entire lives.

"I admire your humility, Your Highness." After a moment of silence, he spoke again, "But you should think about it differently - it is impossible for one person to have everything at the same time, and since you already have so much, if you are still depressed and trembling, wouldn't it be cruel to those who don't have it?" So with all due respect, you might as well enjoy your present good time with peace of mind and treat it as if it were your well-deserved leisure, after all – according to your words, you were born to win the lottery. Maybe it's not fair, but the Habsburgs never ruled the empire for fairness, did they? ”

"Uh...... Hmm......" When Aglon said this, the princess didn't know how to speak for a while.

In fact, Agron is not completely reasonable, but after all, Her Royal Highness the princess has never been so bluntly "enlightened", so she has no experience in debating at all, so she will naturally be dominated by Agron.

"Sorry...... I might be thinking a little too much......" Theresa thought for a moment, then smiled apologetically, "Sometimes my father says I'm thinking too much. ”

"It's better to have more ideas than to have an empty head." Aglon smiled and replied, "At least you have awe, and if everyone like you had this awe, even if it was only a fraction of it, maybe there would be no great revolution." ”

"Then maybe you won't be able to stand in front of me, and maybe maybe you didn't exist in the first place~" Teresa replied with a smile.

Before Aiglon could reply, she suddenly felt that her words were inappropriate, and hurriedly apologized to the young man, "Ah! I'm sorry, I'm not disparaging you and your glorious name......"

"So sometimes you do overthink it." Aiglon smiled and shook his head, indicating that he didn't care, "I don't mind if someone tells me that I'm the son of a small Corsican landowner, it makes me feel more interesting, after all, I'm a member of the royal family in the most self-conscious place in the world - even if the royal status is a bit empty." ”

Aiglon didn't say this to force himself to save face, he didn't think the Habsburg family was so great, and the Habsburgs were also small landowners in Switzerland? It's just a few more hundred years of mixing, and finally he has become the leader of the aristocratic world.

"It was your father's victory, and although he lost everything later, he deserved it." Teresa's voice was softer, as if she wanted to make up for her unintentional mistake just now, "No matter what the outside world thinks, no matter how many people curse him, anyway, I think he is a hero, although my father has been an enemy of him all his life, but he has never derogated him personally, at most...... At most, it was just a matter of dwelling at the fact that 1809 was not a great success. ”

"So we, the juniors, don't need to care about this kind of historical remnants." Aiglon continued to smile and held out his hand to Princess Teresa, "The history of that generation is in the past, and now let's create the history of our generation." ”

As if echoing his words, the music played by the band began to change tunes again at this moment, turning into elegant dance music. The feast had filled the guests, and now it was finally time to consume the food with dance.

"It may sound strange to start a new chapter in the history of the two families by holding hands and dancing, but ...... I would like to thank you, Your Highness, for giving me such an honor. Aglon placed his hand in front of Her Highness and made her a formal invitation.

Princess Teresa was a little shy, but she raised her hand and took the young man's hand.

Even though she wore thin silk gloves on her hands, the delicate and soft touch and the warmth that came through the gloves still made Aglon feel a little nervous.

The two of them were already very close to each other, because there was a slight difference in height, so Her Royal Highness needed to raise her head slightly to look up at the young man, and Aglon could also see the white and red skin that showed through the neckline of her dress, and the glow of the crystal chandelier that seemed to reflect in her eyes.

Is this what it feels like to be a "girl from the Ha family"?

Even if it is only evaluated from an objective point of view, although the current Princess Teresa is a little young, she can already reveal enough feminine charm. In time, I will definitely be able to become a bright lady.

However, even at this moment, he still remembered his calculations clearly.

"In fact, I've always had a bit of a fear that I'd mess up the night when you officially stepped into the social world." He spoke unhurriedly, "If that's the case, even if others don't punish me, I'll feel guilty for a long time." ”

"It's nothing to worry about." Her Royal Highness the Princess shook her head slightly, "Who can not make some mistakes in life?" Besides, I'm not good at dancing either, so I'm the one who should be worried......"

"Well, then, let me do the heavy lifting." Agron waved his hand in a dashing manner.

Although he did not deliberately study dance, dance was originally a compulsory course for aristocratic teenagers in these years, and of course he had to study it seriously; What's more, he has practiced swordsmanship for many years, and his skills are much more athletic than ordinary people, at least he has the confidence to guide newcomers like Teresa.

Aiglon took Her Royal Highness's hand, and the two of them walked together to the center of the hall.

In keeping with tradition, the guests had retreated to the corners of the hall, creating a large open space in the middle of the hall as a dance floor, while others were slowly entering.

Today's selection is the mazurka dance, which is common at the court, and there are eight pairs of men in various uniforms and women in various skirts pouring onto the dance floor.

Needless to say, most of them are foils, and the focus of everyone's attention is on the pair of teenagers and girls with special identities.

Most people want to figure out what's really going on, and a small number are looking forward to what the future holds.

And all these people's thoughts, the boy and the girl had no time to care, and the two of them looked at each other, waiting for the moment of dance.

The light mazurka music finally resounded throughout the hall, and as if the starting gun was heard, the dancers on the dance floor began their own dance.

The two men staggered their hands, spun each other in place, then re-caught them, slid forward together, and swapped positions before Aglon raised his hand, and Princess Teresa grabbed his hand and ran briskly around him.

In the eyes of everyone, Princess Teresa was led by Aiglon in a graceful posture, walking lightly on the dance floor like a butterfly wearing flowers, at first she was a little jerky and couldn't let go, but soon, she gradually indulged in the dance music, her body became more and more stretched, and her movements were accurate and fast.

"Looks like you're really humble, isn't that pretty impressive?" Aiglon grabbed Her Highness's hand and complimented her.

"I'm just in better shape tonight, didn't you just say I'm going to be honored tonight? I thought about it, and it really should be. Teresa smiled slightly, tilted her head and said to the boy, "And you are also very modest, I don't see anything to worry about, you are at ease." ”

As they spoke, the two of them gently touched their heels and saluted each other in this way.

The two of them danced in front of the eyes of everyone as if no one was around, according to their own education, doing all kinds of dance steps, occasionally mixed with a little conversation.

Before you know it, time is passing, and the sound of the music slowly stops, and the two of them finally stop.

The first dance is over.

Then, they looked at each other.

"Actually, you were my first official dance partner." Aiglon whispered. "Thank you, Your Highness, for giving me confidence."
