“We’ll definitely make better memories too!”
Seeing Aigron so excited, Princess Sophie couldn't help but smile.
"Are you happy with this? You feel like a child again now... Okay, it's settled. When we get there, we will be siblings Sophia Memmingen and Franz Memmingen. Can you give me Remember it, so you don’t make mistakes and embarrass me!”
"Yes, I remember." Aigron bent down excitedly, "By then, you will be my biological sister. I will do whatever you ask me to do. I will not recognize anyone but you!"
"He's being immoral again!" Princess Sophie glared at him. "I really don't know who you learned from to be so glib. Is this a national talent of the French?"
"Even if I have this national talent, I will only say it to those who love me." Aigron replied solemnly. "Your Highness, I am willing to do things to please you because you have always treated me so kindly. I say this from the bottom of my heart. I only hate that I didn't speak nicely enough to make you happy."
"Oh, I really can't do anything about you." Seeing that she couldn't win against the young man, Princess Sophie could only shrug her shoulders and gave up the idea of correcting him.
However, she scolded her, but what woman didn't like to hear sweet words like this? Especially when someone you already have a deep affection for says it.
In this way, the two people laughed and chatted while returning to Aigron's residence, and he was about to move the easel back to his room.
As soon as the door was opened, the maid Chanel hurried to the door.
"Your Highness!"
As soon as she saw him moving things, Chanel rushed over and reached out to take the easel and drawing board.
"It doesn't matter, let me do it myself." Aigron shook his head, "The oil painting is not dry yet. It would be a pity if it gets damaged accidentally."
"Understood." Shanel obeyed the order and retracted his hand, but he was always worried and kept looking at Aiglon.
"Chanel, my body has recovered very well. Such a little physical activity is not a problem at all." Aigron said with a smile, "You'd better help me tidy up the place. I want to hang the drawing board."
"Okay!" Chanel nodded, then quickly cleaned up the corner of the wall, took down the hanging paintings and decorations, and then helped Aigron place the easel and drawing board there.
Princess Sophie kept watching until they finished cleaning up, then she spoke to Chanel.
"Chanel, it seems that you take good care of His Highness."
Chanel stopped, looked at Her Royal Highness the Princess respectfully and replied, "Because of your order, I must take good care of Your Highness."
"Is it just because of my order?" The princess smiled slightly, "I see that you seem quite happy, much happier than when you were around me."
"..." Chanel paused for a moment, a little surprised and flustered, and didn't know how to answer.
"Don't panic, I'm just complimenting you. Your Highness is able to recover so quickly. You really deserve credit. I will reward you in the future - thank you for fulfilling your duties as a maid." Her Royal Highness continued to look at her with a smile. , "Go and get some drinks for His Highness and me. We have been standing outside for a long time and we are all a little thirsty."
"Yes." Chanel quickly exited the room as if she had been pardoned.
After Chanel left briefly, Princess Sophie turned to look at Aigron with a bit of teasing in her eyes.
"Your Highness, why did you just say this to her?" Of course Aigron understood that the other party had just called Chanel away on purpose, so he was a little confused.
"There's something wrong with the way she looks at you." Princess Sophie replied.
For a moment, Aigron almost lost his composure in fear, and even his breathing almost stopped.
What clue did Princess Sophie just discover? Did something go wrong before my plan actually started?
"What...what do you mean?" He forced himself to maintain his composure and asked.
"Didn't you notice the way she looked at you?" Princess Sophie asked back, "That look is not the emotion an ordinary servant should have for his master. I can tell just by intuition that she has an abnormal attitude towards you. Strong feelings - so, Aigron, I really have you, and you have been able to do this in just ten days..."
Her Highness the Princess's tone was a bit strange, but Aigron found it difficult to feel it for the moment. Instead, he was worried about a more important question - how many things did Her Highness the Princess notice?
"Is this really true?" He sneered, as if he didn't believe it, "Then why did she do this?"
"Although she is a maid, she is a young girl after all. She is probably still dreaming of a prince." Princess Sophie replied with a smile, "This kind of thing is actually quite common outside. The maid wants to have sex with the master's young master. If something happens, you can use it to make a comeback. At worst, you can get a large amount of money as a reward and hush money... You have too little experience, so you think it's weird..."
Ah...a false alarm. Aigron secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that although Her Royal Highness the Princess noticed that Chanel's attitude was a bit strange, she did not think about danger, but instead thought about the most common situation in the world.
That's good...
Although he was relieved in his heart, he did not show it on the surface. Instead, he seemed a little confused and embarrassed.
"Then what should I do?"
"So, you may seem to have grown up, but in fact you are still just a child..." Her Royal Highness the Princess raised her hand impatiently and pinched his ears, "Has she done anything unusual to you recently? Have I ever seduced you?"
"No...I didn't feel it." Aigron shook his head quickly. "She's pretty well-behaved."
"That's good, she still knows a little bit about herself." Princess Sophie nodded. "Seeing as how well she takes care of you, let's do this for now. If she does anything inappropriate to you, just tell me and I will give her the education she deserves."
"What education...?" Aigron couldn't help but ask.
"Well, you don't need to ask~" the princess smiled, "She is one of the maids I brought from Bavaria. No one in Bavaria will remember her, and no one in Austria will care about her existence. I think You can do whatever you want with her."
When mentioning Chanel, Her Royal Highness's tone was calm and slightly contemptuous, as if she was discussing another creature.
Although she was very kind to him and almost always responded to his requests, the princess was still a princess after all, and it was impossible for her to be so advanced-minded as to treat everyone as an equal. In her eyes, Chanel was, after all, just part of the dowry she brought from the Kingdom of Bavaria to the Austrian Empire, and she could dispose of it as she pleased.
When he thought of this, Aigron suddenly felt a little pity.
"Hey, what do you imagine me to be? The Blood Queen?" Seeing his complicated expression, Princess Sophie couldn't help but glared at him again, "If she really dares to mess around, I won't let anyone take her away. If she sinks to the bottom of the Danube, the most I can do is reprimand her and then fire her, leaving her to fend for herself..."
Her words were short and plain, but a flash of inspiration struck Aigron, and he remembered them.
Just as they were talking about this, Chanel came back in, holding a tray with two cups of coffee on it.
The steaming coffee was put on the table, and the two of them sat on the sofa, looking at the scenery outside the window, chatting, and drinking coffee. They spent the rest of the afternoon comfortably. It was not until the evening that Princess Sophie got up. leave.
After she left, Chanel bent down to clear away the things on the table, but Aiglon stopped her.
"Chanel, Her Royal Highness has just become suspicious of you."
Chanel was startled, but didn't look surprised.
"It seems so... no wonder she had that attitude towards me just now."
"However, the reason why she became suspicious was not about our plan, but..." Aigron felt a little embarrassed when he said it. "She suspected that you wanted to seduce me and seek benefits."
"Ah! Ah?" Shanel suddenly exclaimed and lost her voice. After a moment, she blushed again, "Your Highness...Princess, she...she..."
"It's okay for now, but you should pay attention in the future. If Her Royal Highness the Princess becomes suspicious, others may become suspicious in the future." Aigron interrupted her, "I ask you a very important question. Please be honest." Answer me - does she know your life experience?"
"I don't know." Chanel shook her head, "In order to prevent us from being bullied and discriminated against, His Highness Eugene would help hide our identities when he adopted us. Later, when we were sent to be His Royal Highness's maids, no one even cared about us. Where are my ancestors from..."
"That's good..." Aigron breathed a sigh of relief and then changed the subject. "You seem to be afraid of her?"
"It's better to say that you don't have to be afraid of her..." Chanel replied with a wry smile, "She is just so kind to you, but she is different to us...she has always been very strict."
"Ah?" Aigron was surprised. He didn't realize that Her Royal Highness the Princess looked like this to others.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying bad things about her. She's just strict with others and doesn't bully others. Moreover, her rewards for us are quite generous." Chanel whispered, "Besides, people like me usually There is no chance to offend His Highness..."
At this point, she seemed to remember something again, and continued, "Not only to those of us who followed her, but also to other people in the palace, she was also rude, even though she had only been here for more than two years. , but the female officials in the palace have become silent in front of her, and even her husband has been disciplined to be submissive. No one dares to speak more. Almost no one in the palace dares to disobey her. Occasionally, someone Anyone who does this will be severely punished immediately. Therefore, those who secretly hold grudges spread rumors..."
"What are the rumors about?" Aigron asked.
"She said she looks at you differently because she likes beautiful boys, just like the lady in "Don Juan"." Chanel blushed in embarrassment, "I haven't seen that thing, so I don't know, but I guess it’s not a nice thing to say…”
In this year, although the great British poet Byron died in 1824, his long poem "Don Juan" has already become popular on the mainland. When the book opens, the protagonist Don Juan, who is only 16 years old, and Gui The woman Donna-Julia's affair caused an uproar in the local upper class. For the safety of her son, Don Juan's mother had to send him to Europe to travel, and this is where the story of Don Juan begins.
Using this allusion, it goes without saying that you can understand what the intention is.
However, in the palace, similar rumors are always inevitable, and you can't stop them even if you want to.
"Then... what do you think?" Aigron suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and asked again.
"Of course we won't take such rumors seriously." Chanel shook her head first, but then lowered her head again, "But...seeing the normal interactions between Her Royal Highness the Princess and you, to be honest, I'm a little bit I believe your relationship is extraordinary..."
Pfft hahaha
Aiglon couldn't help but laugh.
Yes, everyone else is not blind. The two of them usually have such a close attitude, but Her Royal Highness the Princess treats her with an extremely contrasting attitude. It would be strange if there weren't any rumors.
"Then...does Her Highness the Princess know?"
"No one dares to ask this, but I think...she should know. She knows all the troubles in the palace." Chanel thought for a while and then answered.
So...even so, she didn't care, she still interacted with me nonchalantly, took care of me kindly, and never showed any negative emotions in front of herself.
Aiglon nodded slightly. "Okay, I understand, thank you."
