After hearing Her Majesty Theresa's proposal, Chanel hesitated.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid I have nothing to teach her... After all, she is the future Grand Duke..."
"What Grand Duke? That's just a cover-up -" Theresa disagreed. "She was bought by His Highness, so she is destined to serve us. She is no different from you, and there is no difference in status. . It can even be said that as a member of my family and His Highness’s family, you are more important than her.”
Chanel was almost flattered by such thoughtful words.
"Your Highness..."
She was so happy not because she was concerned about her status, but because she was recognized by Princess Teresa as a member of the family, which meant that she could legitimately stay by His Majesty's side.
"If you say so, then I will teach her how to make coffee later. I think she will still need it even if she becomes a Grand Duchess in the future~" Chanel agreed no longer to refuse.
"I think she would be more willing to learn this than learn grammar." Teresa replied with a smile. "Maybe one day I can learn from you when I get interested. After all, my mother has always said that I don't drink well."
She is so friendly to Chanel, on the one hand, because she needs to maintain a good relationship with Chanel and let her continue to work for her; on the other hand, she also feels that Chanel has a simple personality and can be trusted.
In this way, the two of them temporarily put Haidee aside and chatted happily. Haidee was also very happy that she could take a break and hide quietly aside to eat snacks.
After setting the scene, Teresa calmly changed the topic.
"Chanel, I have a question for you——"
"You can just ask." Shanel nodded immediately.
"What do you think of Mr. Edgar de Treville?" Teresa asked calmly.
Although her tone was normal, Chanel's expression immediately changed slightly - after all, she had something in her mind about what happened last time.
Chanel...you are such a person who can't hide your thoughts, Teresa thought to herself.
But it is precisely because of this that His Highness trusts her so much.
Theresa didn't urge her, she just looked at Chanel calmly, as if waiting for her to reply.
Under her gaze, Chanel hesitated for a while, and finally lowered his head and answered her. "I found him to be a rather unpleasant person, a playboy with evil intentions."
"Why do you think so?" Teresa asked, "Mr. Edgar looks very handsome and has artistic talent. He should be very lovable, right?"
Although she was asking questions on the surface, Theresa had already confirmed her guess from Chanel's performance - indeed, this was Edgar's trick.
Although he did not appear in person that day, everything was secretly instigated and connected by him. It was also under his instigation that Prince Charlie and Chanel secretly supported Miss Agnes.
Humph, this oily-faced playboy is indeed a complete conspirator and despicable person!
For a moment, Theresa was filled with disgust and hatred for Edgar and even the Treville family.
It was obvious that this guy just wanted to use his sister-in-law to please His Highness in order to gain His Highness's favor.
She obviously has a distinguished family and a smart mind, but she is unwilling to make suggestions or charge into battle. She just wants to play such conspiracy tricks to flatter and invite favors. It is really the style of a famous noble - she has seen this kind of flattery a lot in the court. A snake-like heart beneath the face.
Theresa did not expect that she and His Highness were still in the entrepreneurial stage and were still far away from the throne, but they would encounter palace politics early, and their spearheads were actually pointed directly at her, which made her heartache. She was so arrogant that it was hard for her to swallow this breath.
There was nothing she could do against Edgar now, because a large group of people around His Highness were obviously on his side, but she secretly swore in her heart that when she got the chance in the future, they would be able to take a good look at him.
Chanel became even more confused when Teresa asked her this question. She hesitated for a while before stammering her answer. "It is true that he is quite charming on the surface, and... and it is said that he is also very famous in the social circles of Paris, but, I feel that on the inside, he is... a rather ruthless person, and he probably does not love anyone except himself. , nor care about any creed.
In the long time since I have seen him, I have never seen him truly express his feelings of missing his wife and daughter, not even once, although he has said countless scenes... You must know that his daughter has just been born, doesn't he Do you miss me? ! Also, Mrs. Alice was so respectable that he didn't even take it to heart. Your Highness, think about it, if a person doesn't even care about his own relatives, how can he be kind to others? So when I think about this, I really hate him. "
"That's right...it's true." Teresa nodded, "I also think this person is ridiculous and dissolute, has no principles, and is not worthy of trust."
From Chanel's answer, she also saw that Chanel hated Edgar from the bottom of her heart, so she believed that Chanel would not be able to participate in Edgar's conspiracy in the future.
She is now trapped in a vortex of malice and is bearing the brunt, so the most important thing now is to distinguish between friend and foe.
In order to save everyone from being embarrassed, she didn't want to ask about the previous things anymore, she just wanted to confirm this. If you want to avenge this humiliation, you will have a long time to come.
"Okay, since we don't like him, let's not talk about such a person anymore and make ourselves unhappy." Teresa changed the topic again, then picked up the cup and took another sip of coffee, "I'll start again Teach Haidee grammar, this child should have had enough rest!"
"Yes!" Chanel immediately agreed as if she had been pardoned. .
She was terrified just now, especially worried that Princess Teresa would ask her whether she had cooperated with Edgar's actions that night.
She was not worried that telling the truth would offend Her Royal Highness the Princess, but she was afraid that if Princess Teresa knew that His Majesty specifically ordered Edgar to alienate Agnes, it would add another shadow to the unmarried couple. It seemed that Her Majesty Teresa no longer wanted to pursue what happened last time, which finally gave her some breathing space.
She could also see that Her Majesty Theresa had not forgotten what happened last time, but Her Majesty's anger had already been focused on Edgar, Prince Charles and others, so she didn't care.
She even took pleasure in seeing the annoying Edgar suffer misfortune.
So, Teresa picked up the homemade alphabet again and continued to teach Haidee.
And not long after, Aigron, who had finished the expedition ceremony, also walked back to the mansion.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Theresa teaching Haidee, and he couldn't help but feel very interesting.
Seeing Aigron's return, Teresa also stopped her lecture, and then signaled to Haidee.
Haidee understood the situation and walked up to Aigron. Then she knelt down, lifted her skirt, and saluted him respectfully.
Then, she raised her head and greeted the young man in imperfect French.
"Good morning, Your Majesty!"
Aigron was stunned for a moment, and then he nodded immediately, "Good morning."
Then, he looked at Theresa excitedly.
"Teresa, I didn't expect you to have the talent to be a teacher. You've already become a decent teacher in just one day."
"This child is very talented and very smart." Teresa replied with a smile, "And she knows in her heart that you are the owner who bought her, so she is happy to study hard to please you. She regards it as her own. obligation."
"This kind of self-knowledge is what many people lack." Agron sighed, "If she can maintain this mentality in the future, it will save us a lot of trouble."
"I will continue to train her this way." Teresa replied.
Among those who had access to Haidee, both Teresa and Chanel deliberately cultivated Haidee's respect for Aiglon.
Haidee is the future Grand Duchess of Ioannina. If she disobeys, although it will not affect the overall situation, it will still be a trouble.
Fortunately, Haidee has been a slave of the Sudan since she was a child. Now she has completely accepted her identity as a slave girl psychologically, and regards obeying her master as a matter of course. Therefore, it is not difficult to instill a mentality of obedience to Aiglon. .
"With you here to educate her personally, I believe she will definitely remain loyal to me." Aigron looked at Teresa encouragingly, "However, we still have to strictly control who can get close to her, even when she grows up, Nor can anyone be allowed to instill in her the idea that she can act on her own."
"Of course." Teresa replied, "I have given her strict instructions not to allow her to interact with other people."
Speaking of this, she seemed a little regretful. "However, if you think about it this way, we owe her something... We should try our best to treat her better in terms of living conditions in the future."
"Teresa, your kindness is a good thing, but there is one fact that we have to distinguish clearly - we owe her nothing." Aigron sternly retorted to his fiancée, "You can see that what she originally lived was... What day? She is a slave girl in the sultan's harem, and she has been forgotten for a long time, has no relatives, and does not even know when she will starve to death. But I bought her, and no one can say that I deprived her from now on. She lost her freedom because she didn’t have it in the first place!
Taking a step back, even if she did not encounter a catastrophe or become a slave girl, but enjoyed her childhood as the pasha's granddaughter, then we did not make her life worse, because in the world of msl She is destined not to be in the public eye and not have any power. When she grows up, she will only be used as a trading object by her grandfather and father to marry into other pasha families, and she will become an accessory of her husband from then on - so compared to the current situation, she has more What has been lost? I think it's obvious that I brought her the light in the darkness, and I even planned to make her a Grand Duchess! After falling into my hands, she will have a much better fate than her original fate. Accordingly, in order to repay her kindness, she should also pay the due price. Isn't this fair? Maybe I have owed many people, but I never owed her..."
When Aigron said this, Teresa suddenly felt that it made sense, and her original bit of intolerance immediately disappeared.
"You're right..." She nodded, "However, we should be nice to her as much as we can."
"Of course we can be nice to her, but this is a gift, not a debt repayment. We have to make a clear distinction. I will never go into debt easily." After Aigron emphasized emphatically, in order to ease the atmosphere, he made another joke, " Teresa, in fact, you are only a few years older than Haidee, but now you are acting like a teacher, and even a bit like a mother..."
"What are you talking about? I'm just here for your career, so I'm more involved..." Teresa blushed suddenly and quickly defended herself.
Then, she added softly, "Besides, even if you learn how to be a mother in advance, what's wrong with that?"
Her answer made Aigron, who was just joking at first, suddenly feel embarrassed.
"No problem, of course no problem... I believe you can teach her well, just like you can teach our future children." In the end, he could only answer with a smile.
This girl, at this time, has put all her body and mind on her side, and she is also thinking about promoting her career.
He will form a family with her, and then spread the family's branches and branches... This is quite attractive when you think about it.
As he thought about it, he became a little fanciful, looking forward to the day when his wedding to Teresa would come, and then he would be legitimately married to her.
Teresa might also be a little embarrassed, so she kept silent, and the two of them suddenly fell into a strange silence. Only Haidee looked at them back and forth ignorantly, not understanding what the two of them were talking about.
"Theresa, let's hold a ceremony as soon as possible." After a moment of silence, Aigron suddenly said.
"Didn't we agree to wait until everything here is completed before holding it?" Teresa replied with some doubts, and then lowered her voice, "Of course, if Your Highness really can't wait, I won't refuse to move forward... "
"Hahahaha..." Aigron laughed, then shook his head, "Teresa, you may have made something up. The ceremony I am talking about refers to an Orthodox Christian conversion ceremony for Haidee. According to our The result of previous discussions with the ambassador was that Haidee should become an Orthodox ruler. I think this is a result acceptable to all parties... What do you think?"
