Eagle’s Glory

Chapter 196 83, Messenger and Oath

Time passed by minute by second, and the room was still immersed in a strange silence.

Aigron's expression was a little dazed, and this sudden news surprised him.

However, after the initial surprise, he couldn't help but feel a little joy and touch in his heart.

Chanel was right, the reason why Teresa came here in advance must be to share the troubles with her, so as to fulfill her promise of never giving up.

Teresa has always been so stubborn and infatuated, which makes people secretly respect her.

Looking back at yourself, what have you done? I don't miss her that much, and recently I was with Chanel...

Even though he was already very thick-skinned, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed at this moment.

As if she sensed something from his face, Chanel's eyes flashed with sadness.

Yes, your Majesty is still your Majesty after all, and only Her Royal Highness the Princess is worthy of it.

It is enough for me to spend these happy times.

"Your Majesty, am I going to stay away from you recently?" Chanel asked calmly while arranging her messy clothes just now, "You may need to appease Your Highness, if I am always by your side, Your Highness may be unhappy... …”

Although she tried hard to restrain herself, she could not hide the loss deep in her heart.

"No!" Aigron came back to his senses and immediately interrupted her loudly, "Chanel, there's no need for this, you just take care of me as usual. You didn't do anything wrong, so you shouldn't suffer for it Any punishment. I am your master, so I should bear all the responsibilities, and I will be responsible for everything. I will persuade Teresa. I think, with her reasonableness, she should be able to tolerate you."

Chanel was so moved by Aiglon's words that she almost cried.

She finally felt relieved.

Your Majesty still can't let go of me after all... She thought happily.

His Majesty protects his status and dignity so that he can always be by his side, so what else can he ask for?

"Your Majesty, thank you for granting me such an honor." Chanel bowed to thank the young man. "I will do my best to take good care of you and His Highness."

"Okay, it's time for me to meet the teacher." Aigron also nodded, regaining his usual calmness and calmness. "To be honest, I still feel a little guilty about him. I'm really glad he didn't die."

After speaking, he walked out of his room under the leadership of Chanel.

soon,

Aigron came to the room where the visitor was temporarily accommodated.

When the door was opened, the people sitting inside immediately focused their attention on the young man at the door, and Aigron also saw him at a glance.

The master and apprentice, who had known each other almost day and night, fell into silence at the same time after meeting again after a long separation, looking at each other without saying a word.

Captain Foresti's sitting posture was still the same as before, slightly bent, as if he were a bow that was fully charged.

However, it can still be seen from his face that he has not fully recovered from the injury and is still a little weak.

With such a serious injury, he might never be able to return to his prime... Aigron thought to himself.

And this was thanks to himself - when he thought of this, he felt a little sad.

If he had the choice, of course he wouldn't want to do such a thing, but sometimes everyone just can't help it.

"Long time no see, my teacher." After a long silence, Aigron finally spoke, "I'm very glad that we will meet again one day."

"I am equally glad that I escaped from your sword." Captain Foresti replied with a wry smile.

Then, he stood up and saluted the young man respectfully, "Nice to see you again, Your Highness."

"I'm sorry for what I did to you, but I can't apologize, because if I do it all over again, I'll do it again." Aigron replied solemnly, "I don't expect your forgiveness, sir, I only wish you Stay healthy in the future.”

"Then I also want to tell you that I have never complained about you, Your Highness. I am a swordsman, so I have my dignity. Since I lost, it is because I am inferior to others, and I can escape a life-and-death fight." My life is already my luck, how can I blame you? There is no need to forgive me." Speaking of this, the captain laughed again, "However, if I do it all over again, I think I will behave more better……"

It seems that the teacher has not changed at all. He is so upright and proud, worthy of the honor of a swordsman.

It's just that because of his own escape, he has lost his future.

When he was originally a teacher for himself, he must have been filled with all kinds of hopes for the future, but in the end, all hopes were dashed, and everything he already had was destroyed...

From this point of view, I do owe him a debt of gratitude, and it would be best if I had a chance to make up for it.

Just as Aigron was feeling sad, Captain Foresty was also watching him.

When he was in Schönbrunn Palace, that young man was handsome, but there was always a gloomy look on his brows, maybe because his wings were broken, he was imprisoned, and he had to make false claims to those who didn't like him; but now His Highness , although he is still equally handsome, but he is stronger and looks a lot more heroic, and he is full of vigor and arrogance that is not afraid of anything.

Now when he saw this young man, he finally understood why His Highness was loyal to so many people.

He is an Austrian, and from the perspective of national interests, he certainly does not want to see things develop to such an extent; but from a personal perspective, he feels that this is a good thing for His Highness, who has finally found a way that he can Soaring in the sky, you no longer have to settle in a corner of Schönbrunn Palace and look down upon those who don't like it.

He regretted that His Highness could no longer stay in Austria, but he was also sincerely happy for what His Highness was like now.

After the master and disciple looked at each other for a while, Aigron spoke again.

"What's going on with you? Why did you suddenly become Teresa's messenger?"

"Actually, I was just as surprised as you when Her Royal Highness the Princess came to recruit me." The captain shrugged, "To tell you the truth, the army has removed me because they were angry about my lax supervision, and my life has also changed. She was in a difficult situation, and Her Royal Highness the Princess felt that I had no future, so she specially recruited me as the captain of the escort to escort her all the way abroad to you."

When he said this, his tone began to become more precise, as if he was afraid that Aigron couldn't hear clearly, "Her Royal Highness the Princess has liquidated all her dowry, and then set off with these assets and some of her personal belongings, We went first to Trieste, where we hired a ship, and then round the Italian peninsula to the port of Livorno. Her Royal Highness now stayed there with the ship, and then she sent me to inform you—— If there are no other opinions, we will set a time for her to come to you by boat."

"Of course I have no objection." Agron immediately replied, "I am grateful for everything Theresa has done."

"Then, Your Highness, I have something to plead with you." Captain Foresti's tone became more serious.

Then, he suddenly knelt on one knee and looked up at the young man. "Can you promise me?"

"What are you doing?" Aiglon was greatly surprised. "Please tell me if you have any requests."

"You are not in Austria, but with your wisdom and mind, I think you must have imagined what Your Highness did. Yes, she plucked up the courage for you to become an enemy of her parents. She forcibly used herself as a threat to force her parents to Give in, Archduke Karl was so angry with her that he almost went crazy, and even the relationship between father and daughter once broke down... You should see that there was no need for her to let herself fall into this situation. She could have gotten away in time, but she didn't... You Can you feel the meaning? Your Highness, please tell me, are you not touched in your heart?"

The captain's questioning made Aigron feel a little ashamed.

How could he not notice it?

"I...I can imagine it, so I am very grateful for everything Theresa has done for me." He lowered his head and answered unreasonably.

"Now that you have seen what Your Highness Theresa has done for you, I beg you to accept His Highness's kindness, be gentle to her, and don't do the same behavior that humiliated her before." The captain stood up, and then said earnestly to Aiglon, "Her Royal Highness the Princess is so affectionate to you, and she will never leave you even if you do these things. I can't help but be moved when I see you... Even if you Even if you have a deep personality since childhood, it is impossible for you to have no feelings, right? Undoubtedly, in your position, you must put interests first, but you are also a human being, and you must sometimes talk about emotions in addition to interests, otherwise you will What’s the point of all the effort?”

Looking at the captain's sincere expression, Aigron was stunned.

"You're right." After a moment, he nodded slightly.

"Besides, even from the most utilitarian point of view, taking good care of Princess Theresa is beneficial to you. This is the best and biggest opportunity for you and Austria to reconcile..." Captain Foresti continued to persuade, "Because of your escape, both His Majesty the Emperor and Metternich were very angry, and Archduke Karl now hates you so much that he gnashes his teeth; but Her Highness Theresa is still a member of the Habsburg family after all. If you want to repair the relationship in the future, she That's the best clue. As time goes by, Archduke Karl will eventually forgive you. You are his son-in-law after all, right? There will always be a way to repair everyone's relationship..."

Eggron knew that what the captain said was indeed true.

If he really wants to regain the throne, he really needs to consider the future attitudes of the great powers, and this means that he has to find ways to bridge the relationship between himself and the great powers.

Considering this aspect, Teresa is indeed an important weight for him.

"You are right, Captain." Aiglon sighed and admitted what the other party said.

"I have been preaching in front of you since I was a child, so I am afraid you will bother me in your heart, but Your Highness, this is my admonition from your standpoint, I beg you to listen to me, just one sentence." The captain continued to look sincerely Young man, "Your Highness Teresa has sacrificed too much for you. She has cut off her escape route. If she is betrayed by you again, she will have nowhere to go! I really can't bear her to fall to such a state."

Aigron nodded heavily.

Faced with the captain's sincere words, he couldn't help but be moved.

He didn't miss his old relationship, but the other party did, analyzing the pros and cons for him, and couldn't bear to see him let Theresa down.

"Stop talking, Captain." He raised his hand and patted the Captain on the shoulder. "I swear to you, Teresa will definitely be my wife, as long as she is willing. I owe her, and I like her... I think this is the happiness God has given me, and I should not throw it away anymore."

"That's great if you think so!" The captain finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I'll report back to His Highness."

"Well, yes." The young man nodded leisurely, "Tell her that I will do my best to receive her as grandly as possible, and then let everyone around me regard her as my mother-in-law and give her everything she deserves... By the way, tell her that I will rely on her to take care of me from now on."

——

After getting the promise he wanted, the captain left without stopping, and Aigron summoned all his cronies on the island-Charlie, Michel Ney, Andre Davout, and France, who had limited mobility. Father Leah gathered there.

They were called together and looked at each other. It was obvious that His Majesty was about to announce some important decision.

Just as they were making uneasy guesses, the young man came to them and got straight to the point.

"Gentlemen, I have good news for you - my fiancée is coming to the island."

"Fiancée?!" Although his words were not loud, they detonated the room like a bomb, and even the sophisticated Father Faria showed a shocked expression. "what happened?"

Charlie, who knew a little bit of the inside story, recovered from the shock the fastest.

"Is...is that Her Royal Highness the Princess?" He asked tremblingly, "The daughter of Archduke Karl?"

"That's right." Aigron nodded slightly.

The crowd suddenly fell into silence. Everyone looked at each other again, and no one knew what to say.

"Your Majesty, this is a big matter. Your marriage is related to the future of the empire and requires careful planning." After a long time, Father Faria said cautiously, "The French people can accept that their monarch once again has an affair with Austria." A court marriage? No one is sure... You are still very young now, so you can wait a little longer. It is not too late to decide after a while."

We have already reached this point, why wait? Should Teresa be packed and stuffed back? Even I really can't do it...Aigron thought to himself.

"If they don't accept it, I will let them accept it! Did they ask for their opinions when God was about to thunder?!" Aigron suddenly raised his voice and said in a tone that could not be questioned. "Gentlemen, this is my private matter, and I have the right to make decisions for me, so I say she is who she is! I am just informing you..."

He has always shown a gentle image in front of everyone, and almost no one present has seen him speak harshly. Therefore, after Aigron expressed his opinions so sternly, everyone turned pale and no one raised any opinions. Come.

After all, there seems to be nothing unacceptable about it. Your Majesty is currently alone, and your Royal Highness the Princess can stick to the engagement and never give up. What else is there to be dissatisfied about?

"It seems that no one has any objections." Aigron nodded, "Very good, then I hope you will treat Teresa with the proper attitude. Do you understand?"

"Yes!" His words received a neat and loud response.
