Eagle’s Glory

Thirty-four, tit for tat

With the intervention of Lady Augusta, the conflict that broke out when Teresa and Maria first met came to an abrupt end - after all, although they hated each other when they met, they both respected their identities, especially They are all guests now, so we can't make the host look ugly.

Maria was the first to break the silence. She bent her knees softly, then glanced at Eggron and Teresa with a half-smile, "See you later."

Then, she followed her sister and left first, leaving the young couple looking at each other in dismay.

Teresa's expression was extremely serious, and the previous relaxation and leisure had been completely wiped out - this was not only because of Maria's deliberate ridicule just now, but also because of her husband.

His reaction just now was not quite right, and until now he is still speechless.

Do you think you can escape this way? Teresa decided she had to ask.

"Your Highness, do you have anything to tell me about what happened today?" Teresa looked at her husband and asked.

"What... can I tell you?" Aegron asked back.

"Can you at least tell me whether Her Royal Highness Maria's visit today is a coincidence or a deliberate offense?" Teresa asked seriously, "Do you really know nothing?"

This question was so acute that Eggron was a little overwhelmed.

He also understood at this time that Teresa must have noticed something abnormal about him - but this was not a misunderstanding. She was vaguely close to the truth, a truth that he could not admit.

Seeing Aigron's silence, Teresa lowered her eyes slightly, obviously already understood the real answer.

"If you tell me that you know nothing at all, and that you were as surprised as I was just now, then I will believe it, Aiglon." Then she whispered, her tone softening.

But of course Aigron knew he couldn't say that - it was asking for death.

"No, Teresa." Aiglon sighed, "I admit that this is not the first time I have seen her. I have met her before in the palace. Of course, I only met her once, and the time was very short -"

After a pause, he added, "Besides, she took the initiative to find me. I was as surprised as you were just now."

"Really?" Teresa asked calmly, but judging from her expression, her attitude seemed to have softened slightly - because she believed that what Aigron was telling the truth now. "Then why is she looking for you?"

"What else could it be for?" Aigron smiled bitterly, "Of course it's because of her unlucky sister... She is very worried about her sister's current situation. They used to communicate frequently, but since I escaped, the communication between them has completely stopped. There was a break, she received no news about her sister, and the letters she sent were lost—which she quite reasonably considered to be my responsibility."

"In other words, did she start a fight with you?" Teresa's brows widened, because this reason is indeed very logical - and when it comes to Sophie's issue, both she and her husband are on the same side. It was the party that owed her, so on this issue, she didn't even have the position to accuse Maria of anything.

She was even thinking that maybe it made sense for Princess Maria to be so resentful towards her husband and wife as soon as they met, and to constantly cynicize them.

"It's not that I'm asking for guilt, I'm just blaming me for putting Her Royal Highness Sophie in trouble because of my willfulness." Aigron replied with a wry smile, "This is a fact, I can't deny it, and I don't want to deny it, so I apologized to her, by the way. I hope that when she contacts Sophie in the future, she can send me a greeting."

Eggron deliberately downplayed and deliberately avoided what he had done to Maria when they first met, so Theresa sounded reasonable.

Of course, she was not happy that her husband still wanted to contact Sophie, but in this situation, she did not allow the guilty Aigron to say hello.

She herself felt it was too mean and inhumane.

Agron deliberately obscured the message. His greetings to Teresa were naturally interpreted as oral messages, so Teresa would not ask him what kind of letter he had written and the wording in it.

She didn't expect her husband to write another letter - or even two letters.

"I see... Then why did she come here again today?" She no longer dwelled on this matter, but asked another question.

"I don't know, maybe it's a coincidence. Maybe she feels she's not satisfied with just seeing me and wants to see you, right?" Aigron immediately avoided the question, "Of course, it may not be with good intentions."

"Isn't this something obvious? She is very hostile to me. Her smile just now was really mean, and her eyes were as uncomfortable as bee stings..." Teresa complained softly, and then she couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Well, considering her twin sister's current situation, I can't say anything else. Although I am absolutely innocent on this issue, but since she wants to hate me, there is nothing I can say."

"Yes, I think so too." Aigron echoed his wife, "You are not responsible for what happened at the beginning. I caused it myself, and I admit it was my fault. So, just now Even if she was rude to both of us, I couldn't lose my temper. Teresa, please forgive me for not explaining it to you at the time. I think saying this will only make us both unhappy, and I don't want to. Let us no longer be burdened by the past.”

Agron's words made Teresa finally relax, and she believed his description - of course, mainly because she wanted to believe so.

"Forget it, it's not a big deal in the first place. Let's hate her if we like. Anyway, there are so many people who hate us, so we're not afraid of having one more of her." Teresa said as she took the initiative to hold her husband's hand. " Since her resentment towards us is well-founded, then I can pretend to turn a blind eye to her offense like you. Anyway, we won’t have any friendship with her in the future. We just need to endure today - Hey, who let me and you Are we married? I have benefited from your glory, and I can only bear your hatred."

Teresa's intimate tone and actions meant that she accepted Aigron's explanation and no longer struggled with the matter.

"Okay, dinner time is coming soon - let's go there like this and let her see our happiness now." Then, Teresa suggested.

Eggron knew in his heart that Teresa was talking about tolerance, but was actually demonstrating deliberately, using his "natural victory" to retaliate against Maria's offense just now. However, at the moment, he could not pour cold water on her, so he could only hold on to her in the same way. Hand, follow her to the restaurant.

As they were about to enter the restaurant, Teresa suddenly thought of a question.

"By the way, Aiglon, has Princess Maria ever told you about the communication between her and her sister?" Teresa narrowed her eyes slightly and asked, "I guess Sophie will share about you with her sister. Things? After all, in that environment, she doesn’t have many happy things to share, right? "

Aigron didn't expect Teresa to suddenly jump to the door of the truth at the last step.

He has always been thankful that his wife is so sharp, but at this moment he would rather she not be so sharp.

"I don't know, we broke up unhappy, how could she tell me about the correspondence between her and my sister?" He could only answer reluctantly.

"I don't know if my guess is true, but if it is true, then she may have even more reason to hate me..." Teresa suddenly covered her mouth, and then smiled lightly, "Hey, Your Highness, can you It really makes me feel tired...but it doesn’t matter, the outcome is destined anyway, we are husband and wife and will always be, a little noise will not affect our concerto."

After she said this inexplicable sentence, the servant opened the door of the dining room, and the young couple walked in.

The moment he opened the door, Aigron clearly felt a sharp gaze sweeping across his face, but he could only pretend as if nothing had happened; Teresa naturally noticed it, but she smiled in response. I didn't take it to heart at all.

Of course she knew that the more she did this, the more Maria would be irritated, but she didn't care at all, instead she felt a little comfortable - after all, no matter what her motives were for resenting herself, she was the one who had the last laugh anyway. If the other party didn't mess with her, she wouldn't mind showing humility and generosity, but since she was so offended by her, Theresa had no interest in being humble.

Soon the couple sat down side by side, and the servants also served the meals, and the dinner officially began.

Out of respect for Madame Auguste's presence, everyone chatted quietly and maintained at least a semblance of rapport over the appetizers and soups.

Aigron, on the other hand, adhered to the principle of talking less and focused all his energy on the meal. He only occasionally echoed his wife's words so that their chat could go on smoothly.

However, although he was very calm on the surface, Aigron was naturally a little guilty in his heart - because just now, he had fallen out with Princess Maria, and Maria threatened him to act according to his own will, otherwise he would expose it in front of Teresa. What you do.

He did not accept the threat, which means that Maria may explode at any time now and implement the threat he just made - and he has no countermeasures against her, so he can only find a way to clean up the mess.

Of course, since they had a falling out, he was mentally prepared. No matter how bad things got, he could bear it. Anyway, when the water came out, the worst he could do was apologize to Teresa and never have anything to do with Maria again. Relationships—however, he naturally hoped that it would be best if none of this happened.

Youdao is afraid of what comes. In this seemingly lively but actually unenthusiastic chat, as the dinner reached the middle, Princess Maria suddenly looked at Teresa with a gentle smile.

"Your Highness Teresa, I have heard before that you like to read poems and stories. Is this the reason why you became associated with Duke Leichstadt?"

"Yes, you know me quite well." Theresa nodded lightly, waiting for the other person's next words, "I didn't know I was already so famous..."

"Of course you are more famous than you think. After all, there has been so much news about you, and you have been talked about everywhere for a while. It is difficult for me not to listen, so I can only pay a little attention." Maria looked at it. Answered honestly.

Although her tone was normal, Teresa bit her lips lightly, so that she didn't throw the tableware in her hand on the table.

What the other party said, "everyone is talking about you", needless to ask, is to insinuate the "big news" that he was thrown away by his fiancé a year ago on the eve of engagement.

This incident brought great trauma to her and her parents. Although she has now taken practical actions to save everything, the nightmare of the past is still vivid in her mind, and she also regards this as a major regret in her life.

Of course, no one had the courage or interest to expose her wounds in front of her, but she didn't expect that today there would be someone who didn't care about her identity at all and dared to say it to her face.

How wonderful it would have been if you had just taken me away! Why was she brought up for humiliation today... Teresa glanced at Aigron angrily, then she put away her anger, and then looked at Maria with eyes that were so clear that they contained no emotion. "That's a thank you for your trouble, Your Highness. I don't know how the news you heard at that time described me, but no matter how the outside world evaluates me or makes fun of me, I don't care, because I don't have time to pay attention to others anymore. I No matter in the past or now, I will only work hard for my dear family members."

Teresa's response was polite and showed no timidity at all. Looking at her eyes, Maria hesitated for a moment.

Such a tough person... How many people were deceived by her delicate appearance. My incompetent sister was probably speechless because of her support.

"Actually, you don't have to worry. Some people are making fun of you, but I admire you because you have the courage to do what you want to do..." After a moment's pause, Maria spoke again, "In addition, because we share the same hobbies , so I am even more willing to support you."

"A common hobby?" Teresa asked, "Do you also like reading?"

"Yeah, I'm much more refined than my domineering older sister who likes dancing and hunting." Maria replied conceitedly.

"Exactly, there is something I want to tell you, although I'm not sure if you'd like to hear it..." Then, Maria intentionally hesitated.

Teresa didn't look doubtful or timid at all, she just shook her head gently and said, "Don't worry, no matter what you tell me, I will listen patiently. After all, the upbringing I received since I was a child will not allow me to treat others." Discourteous."

Feel free to come over here.

The air suddenly stopped.

come yet? Aigron's heart twitched suddenly, but he remained calm on the surface.

"To tell you the truth, just because I have this hobby, my sister also shared with me many of the poems she collected at Schönbrunn Palace -" she said while quietly glancing at Aigron, "Well, Maybe it’s because of her lack of taste, but she picked out a lot of your husband’s writings, so I’ve read a lot of them! Hey, if those unfortunate events hadn’t happened, I think our meeting would have been very different. Bar……"
