"This is our time - although it is destined to be short, but I will remember it in my heart..."

Teresa's tone is warm and soft, which can't help but make people's hearts flutter.

For a moment, the boy was in a trance.

what does she want

She wants to spend her whole life with herself in this place.

Although it sounds ridiculous to say "a lifetime" at this age, Eggron somehow believes that this is what Teresa hopes for.

If I obey her wish, then maybe I will successfully become the son-in-law of Grand Duke Karl, cut off the connection with France, and be an Austrian Highness with peace of mind, maybe one day I will become a pillar of the empire, maybe one day I will only become a reclusive scholar , but in any case, with Teresa by my side, life must be quite interesting.

It sounds attractive.

So, can my own story really end here?

He turned his gaze to the distant scenery.

It's beautiful...but that's all.

He rummaged in his heart, but couldn't find the attachment.

Yes, this place cannot satisfy me, there is no way to eliminate my resentment, let alone satisfy my ambition.

As a result, his heart became cold again.

He found the answer.

He grabbed Teresa's hand and pulled it away from his face.

"I will sit here with you if you ask, Teresa."

The light in the girl's eyes dimmed instantly, and she could clearly feel that His Highness hadn't been moved by her yet.

However, she quickly regained her composure. After all, the future is long. She believes that as long as she is always sincere, His Highness will eventually find out what is best for her.

"Well, so let's read together." She nodded. "If I'm thirsty, I can have some coffee delivered."

So, the two sat side by side and read a book like this, ending the afternoon.

At sunset they finally came downstairs, and it was time for dinner.

When Aigron came to the restaurant, Grand Duke Karl was already sitting there, and he looked good and had recovered.

Aigron hurried over and saluted him.

"Your Highness, are you alright?"

"Don't worry, I have a very good physique, so you won't be able to take a punch." Archduke Karl glanced at him angrily.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. Because of my lack of experience in fighting others, I have never known how to control it." Aigron smiled shyly, "I will be careful in the future."

"Since I started the fight, it's my own fault that I lost, and you don't have to bear any responsibility." Grand Duke Karl hooked his hands and signaled the young man to walk in front of him.

Then, he patted Aigron on the shoulder, and then showed an extremely imperceptible smile, "Well, if I have to say, I am very satisfied with your performance. But all this is over, and you don't want to So be complacent, knowing it's just a small step for you—"

"I would like to follow your teaching." Aigron nodded.

Then, he found that Albrecht, who was sitting next to Grand Duke Karl, was looking at him with panic and admiration, hesitant to speak.

"What's the matter, Albert?" Aigron asked casually.

"Your Highness, you...you are really powerful. I heard from my father that you defeated him in less than a minute." Albrecht's hostility just now has been swept away, and his attitude has completely changed at this time, " Even my swordsmanship teacher can't beat Dad, but you did it so easily...It seems that my sister is not bragging, and what she said about you is true. I'm sorry...I blamed her wrongly. "

Although I am indeed very powerful, your father's strength is not as high as that. It's just because your teachers never dared to fight the Grand Duke with real skills... Aigron secretly laughed in his heart.

Of course, there is no need to explain to him in detail the rights and wrongs of these adults.

"Then apologize to my sister if you have time." With a smile on his face, he patted the child on the head. "Also, I think you won't challenge me now?"

Abbott didn't have any resentment, he just looked up at the gentle and funny boy in front of him.

"I...Of course I can't beat you." He nodded a little lonely, "Your Highness, can I be as good as you in the future?"

"It's hard to say, but I believe that as long as you work hard, you will definitely have a chance." Aigron nodded.

"Okay, then I will work hard." Abbott still looked up at the young man, and said boldly, "I want to be as good as His Highness!"

Sure enough, they are children, their hatred is so simple, and their respect is also so simple, the transformation between each other only needs a little reason.

"Then go and work hard for it." Eggron patted his head again,

Perhaps in return for Aigron's encouragement, Abbott suddenly stood on tiptoe and leaned into Aigron's ear.

Then he whispered, "My sister likes heather, white and sky blue things, shortbread with cherry sauce, and she's still planning to learn a little needlework from the maid..."

Aigron looked at the half-grown child in astonishment.

Why does it seem that even he nodded?

"I can understand the former, but what does the latter mean?" He asked subconsciously.

"I heard that it seems that she is worried about living in poverty in the future, so she must learn to save money." The child replied, biting his ear, "But I think she is just worrying in vain. How can Dad be willing to see her suffer?"

Eggron was speechless for a moment.

While the two were talking, Teresa quietly walked beside her mother.

"Mother."

"What's the matter, my dear?" replied Henrietta, laughing.

"Just now, His Highness and I were reading and chatting on the balcony." Teresa said cautiously.

"Oh? That's good, congratulations, girl." Henrietta was still smiling, "And then?"

"When we were chatting, His Highness was very satisfied with the scenery here." Theresa deliberately emphasized her tone.

"This doesn't surprise me. It's really beautiful here, and visitors will like it very much." The princess nodded with a proud look on her face, "In addition, our hospitality may have given him a sense of belonging. Alright."

"But His Highness can't be a visitor all the time, right?" Teresa asked back.

The mother sensed that there was something in her daughter's words, so she went straight to the point.

"What on earth are you trying to say, my dear daughter? Come on, Mom doesn't have much time to play riddles with you right now."

"I think that when His Highness becomes an adult...may need a foothold other than the palace." Teresa twitched a bit, but said what was in her heart, "How about we set aside a place here and sell it to him? Right? In this way, he can be our neighbor in the future, and it will be very convenient for us to come and go, isn't it?"

After speaking boldly, she raised her head and looked at her mother cautiously, waiting for her answer.

"'It's also very convenient for us to come and go', what do we mean by this? Is it convenient for you and your highness to come and visit us?" Seeing her daughter's pitiful appearance, Henrietta was amused again, and couldn't help it. Don't make fun of her.

"That's not what I meant." Teresa shook her head hastily, "It's still uncertain now!"

"But your performance makes me think you've already thought it all out." Henrietta shook her head.

"Okay, let's stop arguing about this." Teresa avoided her mother's gaze, "What do you think of my proposal?"

Henrietta snickered in her heart, but on the surface she pretended to be pondering.

"Think about it carefully, what you said makes sense. He can't stay in the palace all the time, that's where the immediate members of the royal family live."

"Yes." Teresa nodded.

"After your Highness becomes an adult, he needs to start a family by himself, so he has to find a place." Henrietta said again.

"Yes." Teresa nodded.

"Especially, considering that His Highness will have a family in the future, the place can't be too small..." Henrietta dragged her voice on purpose.

"Yes!" Teresa nodded heavily.

"So, my daughter, how many children do you plan to have when you grow up?" Henrietta asked abruptly.

"It would be great to have five children like a mother." Teresa replied without thinking, and then thought about it for a while. "However, if there is a request, more are fine. After all, my great-grandmother, the great queen, gave birth to more than a dozen children, didn't she, and His Highness's grandmother Letizia also gave birth to many children. A family wants In the case of Xingsheng, the more children the better... But, if you think about it carefully, it's too much, and you won't have much free time... So... let's see when the time comes..."

Teresa felt something was wrong as she spoke, then she suddenly came back to her senses, and then saw her mother's playful eyes.

"Mom!" She gave her mother a sullen look. "Do not make jokes!"

"Am I joking?" Henrietta asked in mock confusion.

Then, she couldn't help but covered her mouth and laughed loudly, "Son, you're the one who made me laugh, okay?"

After laughing for a while, she finally stopped laughing under her daughter's exasperated eyes, "Okay, okay, I'm not joking. We can consider your proposal, but... daughter, you seem to have forgotten a question, Does Your Highness have enough money to buy it? You can't ask us to give it away for nothing, right?"

"Your Highness will." Teresa replied firmly, "Metternich and the French want him to settle down, as long as he operates from it, he can easily get enough money. Besides, Your Highness is a very good Scholar, as long as he signs his real name in the future, some people will be willing to buy his works..."

Then, she took a few deep breaths to calm herself down from the shame just now, and looked at her mother as calmly as possible, "As long as you promise, everything will be fine, thank you, mother."

"I wish you all the best, son, we will do everything we can for you." The smile on Henrietta's face disappeared, and then she reached out and stroked her daughter's forehead, "If anyone actually misses you, it is He is blind, and there is no other girl as good as you in the world."

"But some people are born blind." Teresa suddenly became a little frustrated, and whispered in a volume that others could not hear clearly.

But she soon cheered up again, and then looked at her mother with a smile on her face, "Since God has sent so many miracles, it is no problem to restore sight to the blind, right?"

The conversation between the mother and daughter was over, and the family members took their places and started their own dinner.

The servants began to put the dishes on the table, and Aigron was about to start eating, but found that Teresa was missing from the table.

"Where's Teresa? Why hasn't she come yet?" He couldn't help asking.

Princess Henrietta did not answer, but raised her finger to her lips, smiled and made a silent gesture to Aigron.

Before Aigron could figure out the situation, suddenly, the sound of piano music echoed in the dining room.

Aegron seemed to understand something.

Then, he listened quietly, the sound of the piano was like mercury pouring down the ground, echoing softly in the restaurant.

It was the Moonlight Sonata in C Minor—he knew it right away.

This is probably one of the most famous piano pieces in later generations.

So, he quietly listened to Beethoven's masterpiece.

After a few minutes, the music finally stopped, and Teresa came in from the next room.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry I forgot to tell you, this is our family's habit." She smiled sheepishly, "I will play a piece of music for everyone before dinner."

"Well, I have to say, this gave me a big surprise." Aigron nodded happily. "You play very well."

"You're too much, I'm just average." Teresa was obviously very happy with Aigron's compliment.

"Teresa has practiced since she was a child." Henrietta explained with a smile, "But, does Your Highness also study music?"

"No research, but even if you haven't studied Beethoven's music, it's still very comfortable to listen to." Aigron replied casually.

"So His Highness likes him too?" Teresa looked surprised.

Then, she sighed depressingly, "This master is indeed worthy of admiration... It's a pity that we Austrians are so sorry for him. It's really sad to say that Austria has finally welcomed a master, but it despises him! We just Don't you have culture?"

The Grand Duke and his wife looked at each other secretly, feeling a little embarrassed by their daughter's outrageous remarks.

But it is also true.

Although Beethoven was known all over the world after his death, in his last days he was largely out of favor with the elite circles of Vienna.

On the one hand, the dignitaries he had befriended (such as Prince Lisnovsky, his protector for many years) have passed away, and no one will give him sponsorship; Published liberal speeches against Metternich's strict control of the country, so he greatly offended the government and made his situation even more difficult.

"It's hard to imagine that this great man is still alive." In the atmosphere of silence, Aigron suddenly sighed, "I always feel that he seems to be an ancient person."

"Soon he will become a person of the past." Grand Duke Karl replied casually, "He is seriously ill now, and he is about to leave the world."

This time, both Aigron and Teresa were a little surprised.

Although Aigron came from a later age, it is impossible for him to remember the dates of Beethoven's birth and death in detail, but he vaguely remembers that he did die at this time.

"This is really a loss for all mankind..." He couldn't help sighing.

"Your Highness, in order not to leave any regrets, how about we find a chance to visit him together?" Teresa hesitated, and then proposed. "Such a person should not die in obscurity."

Then, she looked at her father.

Grand Duke Karl was a little embarrassed, but under his daughter's constant gaze, he finally nodded helplessly. "Okay, okay! I'll try, but eat your supper first."
