Eagle’s Glory - Chapter 548

Under the reminder of her father, Teresa adjusted her mood, and then cheered up to celebrate the festival with her family. Christmas at the manor was spent in joy as in the past.

Before the event, in addition to the special gifts for their father, Aigron and Teresa also specially prepared some gifts for the wife and the children, which she distributed one by one on Christmas Eve, making the children cheer for it.

After Christmas, people quietly wait for the arrival of the New Year in a few days, but for Teresa, she has already started to prepare to leave.

She had discussed with her father before that she would leave once the New Year passed. As time passed, her thoughts of her husband had been tormenting her, making her more and more unbearable, so she decided to leave on the first day of the New Year. I left directly in the next day so that the couple could be reunited as soon as possible.

As for her son, she will stay here for a while – firstly, she is in a hurry, and it is not very convenient to bring a baby; secondly, it is also at the request of the old father, so that he can spend more time with his grandson.

At this time, other family members finally knew Teresa’s plan. Albrecht persuaded his sister to stay a little longer, but Teresa politely refused. Everyone knew what she was thinking, so they stopped persuading her, and only asked her Take the greetings from the past family members to His Royal Highness.

And just as the New Year was approaching, another unexpected guest came to the manor—His Royal Highness Sophie came to visit again.

Although it was a bit unexpected, the guests who came to visit on the first day of the new year should of course be well received according to the etiquette, so the Grand Duke and his wife warmly welcomed His Royal Highness Sophie in.

Just like the last visit, Sophie’s attitude was very humble and polite, but she just said that she was impatient with the desertedness of Schönbrunn Palace, so she wanted to visit Theresa’s family during this festival to experience the long-lost excitement.

Archduke Karl and Teresa were a little skeptical about these remarks, but they didn’t ask much, so they had to cheer up and entertain Sophie. After a while, Sophie hinted that she wanted to talk to Teresa alone.

So Teresa took Sophie out of the living room and into the study—the place where the two of them talked last time.

“His Royal Highness Teresa, are you leaving soon?” Seeing that no one was around, Sophie asked straight to the point.

“Why do you say that?” Teresa was taken aback, she managed to maintain her composure on the surface, and immediately denied it, “I finally got home this time, and of course I have to spend some time with my parents—”

Sophie didn’t answer, just smiled lightly and looked at Teresa, as if to say, “Oh, why did you lie to me like this”.

This look made Teresa even more nervous.

After all, when she returned home this time, her main purpose was to hide her whereabouts and make people unaware of her whereabouts—if all this was known to His Majesty in advance, what would be the point?

Could it be that the emperor already knew, so he sent Sophie to beat him?

“Don’t worry, this is all my guess, I haven’t told anyone else.” As if seeing what she was thinking, Sophie said with a smile, “Also, don’t worry, I won’t do it. Don’t worry about me getting in the way of things that embarrass your couple.”

“Why do you guess so?” Theresa secretly sighed in relief, but still had some doubts.

“Isn’t that obvious? Teresa, you love him, your eyes light up when you talk about him, you gave everything for him – so why did you want to leave him for so long? I’ve been there since the beginning. I never believed that you would stay here for a long time to accompany your parents, of course your parents are important to you, but your husband is more important.” Sophie stated what she saw with a calm as if it had nothing to do with herself, “The Emperor They don’t understand love, and Metternich doesn’t understand either, so they don’t think about this place, and you don’t have to worry about what they’ll do.”

Then, Sophie added, “I was just guessing, but after I came here today, I confirmed that your mother and brothers didn’t seem particularly happy, they obviously knew that you were leaving soon. “

This time Teresa felt that she could no longer resist, she no longer dodged, but nodded directly, “Your Highness, your insight is indeed sharp… Well, let me tell you the truth, I plan to leave here, and Just tomorrow, just to act like I’m still here to the outside world… I’ll tell you everything, so I beg you to be tight-lipped about it, not for me, but for him, because it’s true for him Very important.”

Teresa felt that in a way, Sophie did understand herself, and if it weren’t for the joke of fate, maybe the relationship between the two of them would have been better.

“I said, I won’t interfere with your actions.” Sophie emphasized again, “After all, I’m still waiting for you to be done, and then rescue my poor daughter by the way.”

“Don’t worry about this.” Teresa nodded heavily, then she took out a sketch from a corner of the study and placed it in front of Sophie.

Sophie took a closer look and found that this was the sketch portrait of Kristel.

Although it was drawn with pencil, it still outlines the general appearance of Corristel, and I can feel her cuteness even more.

“I plan to give the picture of Corristel to His Royal Highness when I go back – at least let him know what this child looks like, otherwise it would be too cruel for a father.” Teresa explained in a low voice.

Sophie was silent.

“Thank you,” she finally thanked Teresa after a long time, “I owe you a favor, and I will remember it.”

“It doesn’t need to be so serious, I just have sympathy for Kristel… After all, it is too cruel to let an ignorant child lose sight of the sun after birth.” Teresa replied, ” Our couple’s lives should not be left with such a stain.”

“It really made you arrange everything properly…” Sophie grinned again, with too much helplessness and self-deprecation.

Then, she bowed her knees slightly and said goodbye to Teresa, “I’m so glad I caught up and say goodbye to you before you leave. Teresa, have a good trip, and give me some scolding about that **** by the way, Then we settle the bill.”

“I will definitely scold him severely.” Teresa agreed involuntarily.

Then, she bowed her knees and said goodbye to Sophie, “Goodbye, Your Highness. I believe that after you put everything down, you will be able to play your current role well, and the future of the empire will prosper because of you.”

“Let everything be judged by God, anyway, what can I do now?” Sophie shook her head and replied dejectedly, “Okay, I have to go, don’t send me, leave me alone in the wind. Be quiet.”

Since Sophie said so, Teresa naturally had to do as she was, she stayed where she was and watched Sophie walk out of the study, then walked down the stairs along the corridor.

Just when Sophie walked to the corner of the stairs, the blind spot of common vision upstairs and downstairs, Chanel, who had already prepared, passed by quietly, and the two passed by very reasonably.

At this moment, they exchanged glances and said goodbye to each other.

Sophie was in front of Teresa just now and said so much analysis about her next departure—but in fact, more importantly, Chanel had already tipped her off before, letting her know about Teresa long ago. I plan to leave as soon as possible, so I will hurry up to visit on the first day of the new year, so as not to miss this group of people.

And the information they exchanged was obviously more than that.

At the same time as the two of them went wrong, Sophie took out a few pages of rolled up paper from the cuff without hesitation and handed it to Chanel, who also took these pages at a fast speed, And then put it inside his sleeve.

In this way, the warm paper was quickly passed between the two people, and it was only exposed to the light for a brief moment, as if it had never existed.

“It’s over to you, Chanel.” Then, Sophie whispered at a volume that only two people could hear, “Tell him, I can live, and I can live a long time, I will wait for that day.”

After she finished speaking, she didn’t wait for Chanel to react, and immediately stepped down the stairs.

Then, respectfully, she bid a friendly farewell to the archduke and his wife, and then stepped into the carriage again and left the manor.

She didn’t breathe a sigh of relief until she got into the empty carriage.

The long-lost excitement made her heart beat wildly, she looked out the car window with nostalgia, and greedily breathed the air outside the palace.

She succeeded, at least at this stage. She wrote down all the points she thought about during this period of time to make it easier for her future sister to play her role.

Next, is another long wait.

Of course she knows that even if this step is successful, there are still too many difficulties ahead, and the hope of success is quite slim.

But she still felt a long-lost excitement.

Because she saw hope.

She felt hope of living.

Since the young man left her ruthlessly and left, she seemed to have entered an endless nightmare, and the mental pain could hardly be eliminated. For her, the night was long, and the night of despair that was so dark that she couldn’t reach her fingers made her gasp for breath. But get angry.

But now, she knows that the young man has never forgotten himself, he is trying to rescue himself and relive his old dreams, even if his efforts may not work, this is enough to give her a glimmer of hope.

This glimmer of hope, like a thunderclap, cut through the night of despair and made her feel the joy of survival again.

It turned out that he was not abandoned by the whole world, it turned out that all these disasters may stop…

That hope is enough.

She must live well and live until the day her dream comes true.

No doubt this means that she cheated on Teresa, and even “cheating” is not enough to describe the nature of it.

However, I’m sorry, she has never been a person with overflowing sympathy, not to mention that she has been tortured by despair and anger for so long now, she is lucky not to collapse, she can’t control that much anymore.

She must overcome the torment and disaster that fate has bestowed on her, and retrieve what she has lost.

With this long-lost hope, Sophie closed her eyes slightly, and the carriage was slowly starting at this time, taking her on the road back to the palace.

Inadvertently, tears rolled down her cheeks – only God knows, how many tears of grievance, sadness and hope were mixed in!

=====================

The day after Sophie said goodbye, Teresa also said goodbye to her family.

This time, in order to keep the secret, Duke Karl made careful arrangements early on.

He called two inconspicuous carriages, and then sent some of his most trusted men to **** Teresa and Chanel away-after they left, he would act as usual, pretending that his daughter was still there. Stay by your side to match your daughter and son-in-law’s plan.

Obviously, this won’t deceive the world for long, but he can help every day.

In the early morning, because it was winter, the visibility was still quite low. There was light snow outside, and the snow dyed the surrounding white. Only the road leading to the outside world was exposed, like the warp and weft woven on a white blanket.

Everything was ready, and Teresa watched as the servants loaded her simple salute into the carriage, and then she said goodbye to her parents.

Teresa looked at her parents with mixed feelings.

On the one hand, she is indeed very reluctant to part with her relatives, and regrets that the short reunion ended so quickly. She also knows her parting, and she doesn’t know when she will come again next time; but on the other hand, But she longed to be able to return to her husband’s side as soon as possible to reunite.

Two diametrically opposed emotions made her feel guilty and depressed, and her mother even cried directly.

“Teresa…” Madam hugged her daughter, reluctantly, “Would you like to stay for a few more days? Mom really reluctant to let you go.”

“I’m sorry, Mom…” Teresa whispered to her mother, “I have to do this.”

“Teresa, the journey is smooth.” Compared with the mother and daughter, the Grand Duke was much calmer, and he solemnly bid farewell to his daughter.

As a father, of course he didn’t want to see his daughter endure hardships and take risks, but on the other hand, he was faintly proud of her daughter.

Teresa has tenderness, but no weakness; she is decisive, but not cruel to others. She loves her family and life, and has the courage and ability to go all out to protect her.

Being able to raise such a daughter at least shows that her education is considered a success.

Maybe he really gave birth to a queen? At least Teresa deserves it, thought the Archduke.

“Dad, take care of François for me during this time.” Teresa waved to her father, “I will miss you all the time!”

“I will too.” The Grand Duke nodded, and showed a rare reluctance, “I can help you only here, I hope you can take your next path!”

“Well, I will!” Teresa solemnly assured her father, then before she could cry, she dodged into the carriage.

She also didn’t know the exact location of Aegron, so the destination she chose could only be the mountain villa of Queen Aotangsi. After she got there, the queen would naturally help her arrange everything and send her back to her husband. beside.

Yes, His Royal Highness is waiting for him…

The carriage started slowly, gradually disappeared under the reluctant gaze of his parents, and finally melted into the blank world.
