"Let Your Highness have a taste of the skills you have learned recently."

"Okay, Mom." After hearing her mother's order, Teresa readily accepted the order and left for now.

So in this living room, only Aigron and the Grand Duke and his wife are left for the time being.

Aigron knew in his heart that Madam had deliberately pushed Teresa away, and he must have something to say to himself alone, so he politely remained silent, waiting for them to speak first.

After a moment of silence, Henrietta and Archduke Karl looked at each other, and then she finally spoke.

"Dear Franz, or rather, dear Francois, I think you can see that this is a critical moment, not only for you, but also for us, so a few words I want to ask you."

After a pause, she added, "I don't know what you think of me, but I think I've always been a straightforward person, and I've never been willing to play tricks with others, but that doesn't mean I'm a person who believes what others say, so... Based on everyone's trust and a responsible attitude towards yourself and Teresa, I hope you can also be honest with me, okay? ?”

"Of course, Your Highness, I am very happy." Aigron nodded slightly.

"Very good." Henrietta smiled and eased the tense atmosphere, "Actually, at this point in time, we don't need to go around in circles anymore. If you want to marry Teresa, then continue with the matter After leaving, we will go through all the necessary procedures and get married; if you don't want to, then you can tell us now, and I will treat you as the cutest guest, and then you can go home with peace of mind , we will never disturb your life again—so, child, we don’t have time to guess riddles anymore, give me a definite answer, yes or no?”

She looked at the young man expectantly, hoping to hear the most clear and unmistakable answer from him.

Aigron knew that although she spoke harshly, she had already affirmed herself in her heart—otherwise, she would just find a way to drive herself away, so why ask any more answers?

"Yes, Your Highness, I want to marry Teresa, please grant me this honor." Aegron made up his mind and said the answer he had thought of.

This was his most unmistakable answer so far, and this answer also made Henrietta laugh, and looked at the Grand Duke again.

Archduke Karl nodded slightly, and then Henrietta asked again.

"Very well, I got your answer, but—you have to listen to our conditions." She continued, "You can get a lot of things from us, whether it is wealth or power, we are happy to help Our son-in-law. But you also have to pay some price for this, whether you want to pay or not. For example, from now on, you have to draw a line with France and serve Austria wholeheartedly. Son, can you make such a resolution? ?”

"Although I was born in France, I have stayed in Austria several times longer than France, and I have almost forgotten everything there. It was Austria that protected my safety in the midst of the chaos, and it was the bread and water of Austria that nourished me growing up , anyway, this is the truth." Aigron replied in a low voice, "What is there for me now? There is only a crashing ruin, and a large group of traitors who betrayed me and gained wealth, they laughed My downfall, curse my surname... I don't miss it, I just want to bid farewell to these malice forever."

When he said this, the young man couldn't help but feel a little lost. This was not entirely due to his acting skills, but some of it was indeed his true feelings.

"Poor kid." Henrietta sighed, obviously lamenting what happened to him, "It's true that you haven't encountered many good things in the past ten years, but fortunately, you didn't give up on yourself, but worked hard and earnestly. Alive. Since you're trying,

Then fate will not play tricks on you all the time, and now you have reached the time of turning luck—maybe a bit boastful, but I think it is definitely your greatest luck to have Teresa so enamored. "

Before waiting for Eggron to compliment her, she continued, "I said just now that I can play the role of mother for you, because you are a lovely child, and I am willing to treat it as my own child—— However, I also ask you to love Teresa, love her like a best husband, and not just rely on utilitarian calculations to treat her as a ladder to success. Love is a luxury for people like us Many people leave the world without understanding it in their entire lives, but in the selfishness of being a parent, I still hope that my daughter has it, because I think Teresa deserves it."

In her words, the mother's pride in her daughter is evident. "Your Highness, I don't want to make things between us so businesslike, but I think it's better to explain things frankly at the beginning than to be confused. Son, for Teresa, I would like to ask you to treat her well, We use all our strength to cultivate her, and then give her pure and flawless to you, then you have the obligation to respect her and protect her, if you fail to do it or do a good job, then not only will we not be able to forgive you, but God will not will forgive your sins."

Under Madam's gaze, Aigron's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he managed to maintain his superficial calm.

God knows what crime he is committing now!

He used all his strength to look dignified and excited.

"Forgive me. I'm still young. I don't know what love is all about. However, I can assure you that if I am lucky enough to be with her in the future, I will stick to her through thick and thin, and she will Share all the honor I can bestow, share my fears my pains and my hopes... I will never hide from her and I will never insult her, I will give my life to repay the good fortune that God has given me .”

The couple didn't say a word, and watched him finish speaking. After a while, Henrietta smiled and nodded.

"I am satisfied to be able to say these words, Your Highness... Maybe it is our good luck to meet you. Teresa and you are very suitable, but I can't find any thorns, my husband and I will bless you Yours."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Grand Duke Karl again.

"The last time you came to our manor, Teresa hoped that I would find you a place to live there. Now I have divided it up, and I can give it to you as soon as the New Year comes." Grand Duke Karl looked at it calmly. Looking at the young man, "In addition, I will also give enough dowry to be worthy of her origin and name. But--I ask Teresa to be responsible for disposing of these, and you enjoy all the benefits generated by these properties, okay? ?”

"This is already an incomparably great favor to me, and I have no objection." Anyway, it was a blank check, and of course Aigron agreed casually.

"That's it." Archduke Karl gave a short answer.

Just then Teresa came back with a tray with four cups steaming hot.

The three of them stopped the conversation, and watched Teresa come and put the cup on the coffee table.

"Please try it, Your Highness." Teresa made a gesture.

Eggron obediently picked up the cup, and took a sip.

"Your Highness, how are you?" Teresa looked at the young man expectantly.

"It's delicious." Eggron nodded, and then acted like he was still savoring it.

To be honest, it’s not as good as Chanel’s brew, but Chanel is a professional maid who has served people for many years. It’s normal for Teresa to be behind.

"It seems that there is still a lot to improve..." Perhaps it was because Aigron's praise was not as good as expected, Teresa looked a little frustrated.

"Okay, Teresa, don't embarrass Your Highness anymore, you have to think about how he grew up in the palace, how could he be fascinated by your childish tricks." Henrietta couldn't help laughing , "You better not waste this energy."

"No, I think Teresa has such a heart, I am very moved." Aigron said, and took another sip, "There are countless people in the world who can make coffee, but they can often drink Teresa I am the only person in the world who makes the coffee handmade by Your Highness. This is indescribable luck... It's like the rum in the port for the weather-beaten sailors. Maybe it's not the best taste, but it doesn't It's important, it's what suits them best—they'll live and die in the midst of the storm, and the only way to rest their souls is to drink it."

"Hahahaha... It seems that you are still a Frenchman in your bones." Henrietta couldn't help laughing out loud, "I'm touched. I must say this to Teresa more often in the future. You guarantee that there is no woman who is unwilling to listen."

After saying this, the mother blinked at her daughter comfortably.

This hidden look also hinted at Teresa, the two sides had a very pleasant conversation just now, and basically reached a consensus.

Very good!

Although she was very confident at the beginning, Teresa was still filled with ecstasy when she actually heard the news.

She blushed suddenly, and secretly glanced at the young man next to her. At the same time, Aigron also felt her gaze, so he turned to look at her, and nodded to her with a smile.

Is this an expectation that "we will create the future together in the future"?

The girl's heart suddenly became blank.

It took a while for her to react, and hastily nodded slightly to the young man, using this method to express her heart to him.

In this way, the four of them chatted ramblingly while drinking coffee, and when the coffee was finished, Henrietta stood up.

"Okay, it's time for us to give you back the time...you must be very impatient after chatting with us old guys for so long?" She greeted her husband and left together, then looked at the young man again And his daughter, "Teresa, take a stroll here with His Highness, and we will have dinner together later."

"Okay, Mom!" Teresa nodded shyly in agreement.

Then, she looked at the young man again, "His Royal Highness, can I disturb you for a while?"

"Very happy." Eggron smiled, and then stood up.

So, the two of them walked side by side again, wandering in this palace that collected a large number of works of art.

Because Teresa has lived here since she was a child, she is very familiar with these collections. She took him to see and introduce them along the way, especially focusing on introducing to him the most famous painter in German history, Albrecht Diu. Famous paintings by Le.

Aigron also cooperated with Teresa, walking around with her, and asking a few questions from time to time to satisfy Teresa's desire for performance. With a happy look.

In her opinion, since His Highness has made a decision and her parents have nodded, then she has already got her wish, and the next happy life is almost just around the corner.

What else is there to be afraid of?

Under her gaze, Aigron walked up to a painting and looked at it with interest.

The painting was a murky taupe, and it was a battle scene, but it looked very chaotic and distorted.

"This painting is called "The Struggle of Diomedes" and it was created in 1776." Teresa explained beside him in a low voice, "The creator is a Frenchman—Jacques-Louis David."

Hearing this name, Aigron was impressed.

The life experience of this famous painter is very legendary. He actively participated in the torrent of the times during the Great Revolution, once served as the chairman of the National Assembly, and once painted "The Death of Marat", a famous painting in later history.

But after the Jacobins were overthrown by the Thermidorians, he was almost killed and thrown into prison until Napoleon came to power in a coup, released him, and finally made him the chief painter of the empire.

The famous "Napoleon I and the Empress's Coronation Ceremony" was drawn by him.

Aigron did not expect that even the paintings of this revolutionary painter were collected here.

It's really eclectic...

"This is really a treasure trove of art. Your father has put a lot of effort into it." He couldn't help but said to Teresa.

"Yes, this is the painstaking effort of the previous duke and my father. It is a collection collected from all over Europe... and as our family grows, the scale will definitely expand in the future. It will become a well-known treasure house in Europe. , has attracted the attention and love of the world." Teresa nodded.

While they were talking, they came to a hall.

The entire hall is magnificently decorated with tall wall columns, gorgeous wall decorations, exquisite sculptures and brilliant crystal chandeliers. Mirrors are also placed between the sculptures, making them even more beautiful.

Aigron looked around. Although he didn't like the artwork very much, he couldn't help being touched when he was in it.

"Your Highness, do you like this place?" Teresa asked in a low voice.

"Well, it's pretty good." Aigron nodded.

Teresa thought for a while, then moved to his side, and whispered to him.

"Your Highness, you also know that this palace, these works of art, and even most of my father's wealth belong to my younger brother, because I am a daughter and have no right to inherit it. But...it didn't just fall from the sky , but was built bit by bit. So as long as we have the heart, we can also spend more time, copy the original one or even build a better one, and turn our residence into a temple admired by the world... Yes, as long as If you like it, we will have it, and it belongs only to us..."

Looking at her shining eyes and face full of anticipation and joy, Eggron was in a trance for a while.

She means it.

Yeah... maybe that's also very happy, isn't it?

By chance, he lowered his head slightly and let his lips touch her bright red soft lips.
