Eagle’s Glory

Today, Prince Charlie, as usual, stays in his room and diligently writes.

He has always had the habit of writing. Of course, compared with his talented cousin, he does not have the talent for writing poems and articles. What he likes to write are some political discourses and some personal diaries.

When he wrote his notes, he was meticulous and detailed. He not only recorded his experiences and what he saw and heard, but also mixed in a lot of personal comments and opinions.

He intends to write a memoir like those great figures in his old age, and there is no doubt that what he is recording now will be the best material at that time.

However, today his work was inevitably interrupted because there was a gentle knock at the door of his room.

He subconsciously covered the notebook, carefully put it away in the drawer, and then asked back.

"who is it?"

"It's me, Your Highness." A voice came in response from the door.

He immediately recognized that it was the voice of the little maid beside His Majesty.

I don't know how His Majesty fooled her relationship with Teresa... He subconsciously showed an ambiguous smile on his face, but he soon calmed down.

Then he opened the door and found Chanel standing in front of him with a serious face.

"What's the matter, Chanel?" He tried his best to show his most humble smile and said to the maid.

"Your Highness, Princess Teresa, please come over and talk." Chanel lowered her head and replied.

Although her tone was calm and respectful, Charlie suddenly felt a sudden change in his heart, and his expression also changed slightly.

The reason why he reacted so violently was, of course, because he had always had a ghost in his heart.

Ever since he heard the news that Her Majesty Teresa was about to go to the island, he had always had a premonition that something bad was going to happen, but his cousin insisted on going his own way, and no one dared to dissuade him, so he didn't dare to speak out, and could only watch her helplessly. Go to the island.

Originally, it didn't matter if she came to the island, it was just that he had an extra mistress in name, but the thing he was most worried about happened to happen - his cousin trusted Teresa so much that he let her take care of it as soon as he came up. All your own finances.

And this means,

Teresa will soon learn what she has done, and she won't be fooled so easily.

Just because he felt something was wrong in his heart, he deliberately provoked the relationship between Chanel and Teresa after Teresa came to the island, hoping to confuse the water with this, and it would be best if the two of them could not cooperate. He can also get temporary safety and then find a way to solve the problem.

However, it seemed that his plan failed again. He didn't know what happened in the middle, but he could clearly see that Chanel and Teresa got along pretty well. At least on the surface, Chanel was respectful and obeyed Teresa. All assignments.

So he suddenly had no other tricks.

"What's the matter?" he asked tentatively.

"It's just some ordinary business issues, you don't need to worry about it." Chanel replied.

broken. He immediately screamed in his heart that something was wrong.

From Chanel's behavior, he knew that this matter had come to light, and Theresa had really discovered it.

His face instantly turned very pale, and a little cold sweat appeared on his back.

He subconsciously looked behind Shanel and found that there were no guards behind her.

In other words, if he pushed Shanel away now and ran away, he could do it.

It's not that he didn't make preparations for such eventualities. As long as he ran now, he could immediately find a small sailboat on the island that was on standby and escape.

But only a second later, he rejected the idea.

get away? Where can I escape? What will happen after you escape?

If he escapes, he will inevitably bear His Majesty's extreme anger. Next, he will declare what he has done to all the supporters of the Bonaparte family, and then expel himself from the family. At that time, although he can rely on some Money leads a prosperous life, but politically it is dead and there is no future for it.

He was so ambitious that he could not accept political death and became a lonely ghost.

So he made up his mind in just a moment.

You have to maintain your position in the family - so no matter what you face next, as long as you can get through it.

"Okay, got it, let's go over there." He tried his best to smile as normal as possible, and then nodded.

"Please come with me." Of course, Chanel didn't know that His Royal Highness had so many thoughts in a short time, and turned around and took him to the reception room that Aigron usually used, but this time, sitting on a chair It's Teresa.

When he saw Theresa, Charlie didn't dare to express his anger, and immediately bowed to her respectfully.

"Do you have any orders, Your Highness?"

For Chanel, who is just a maid, although he is superficially respectful, he is quite disdainful in his heart; but it is completely different for Teresa-his "His Royal Highness" has long been just an empty shell, only the Bonaparte family Only some of her supporters recognized her, but Teresa was completely different, she was a real princess, so standing in front of her, Charlie subconsciously lost a bit of momentum.

"You are too unfamiliar, my brother." Teresa replied with a smile, "I said before that you are His Highness's brother, so I will respect you like my own brother. You don't have to be so reserved, so On the contrary, it makes me embarrassed——"

Charlie laughed awkwardly and didn't know how to answer.

Of course he couldn't take Teresa's words seriously, but since she said so, he couldn't help but show off.

Fortunately, Teresa did not make things difficult for him, but immediately got into the topic, "I invite you to come here, actually I want to ask you some questions. Please come here—"

She waved, and Charlie walked to the desk obediently.

Then, he saw an open account book on it.

It's over... He knew immediately that the situation was over.

But he could only bite the bullet and pretend that nothing happened, waiting for the judgment to come.

"I wrote some personal evaluations on this account book, please take it up and have a look, if there are any mistakes, please point out..." Teresa pointed to the account book and continued to signal.

Charlie could easily tell that Her Majesty Teresa's speech was obviously out of breath, and her cheeks were still morbidly red, but he couldn't care less about it now.

He picked up the account book with uneasiness, and then flipped through the pages.

Soon, his forehead was sweating, because Teresa had marked many problematic transactions above, and also gave the estimated price difference. Charlie compared them with the memory in his heart, and found that almost all of them were written by her. Right.

So sharp!

At this point, he knew that it was useless to say anything more, and everything was obviously under control, and she called herself over for a showdown today to ask for a crime.

Although he could insist that Theresa had no evidence, what was the point?

He put down the account book and looked at Teresa with a slight pleading.

"Your Highness, I am very satisfied with your vision and I can't give you any more advice."

He was not afraid to beg Teresa for mercy, and he was not afraid to beg a woman as long as he could escape the crisis.

"That is to say, you admit that you have pocketed yourself, right?" Teresa looked at Charlie with a calm expression, and then asked, "Then how much did you take? Where did the money go?"

"The amount is about the same as what you guessed." Charlie sighed, "As for the usage... I squandered most of it, some for personal expenses, and some for my friends."

"I really didn't expect you to do such a thing!" Teresa frowned, and then began to scold the other party, "You keep saying that you only want to revive the family, but you act for your own self-interest whenever you have the opportunity, you Is this worthy of His Highness’s trust? And is it worthy of my own status? Don’t you feel ashamed?”

Being reprimanded by a little girl face to face, Charlie was of course full of anger, but the current situation was stronger than others, so he could only bow his head and apologize to Teresa.

"Your Highness, please forgive me... I was confused and delusional for a while, and I made such an excessive move. I also regret it very much. I am ashamed of Your Majesty and failed his trust. I am sorry! I really don't know how to face it. To Your Majesty..."

"You don't have to worry about this, I haven't told His Highness yet." Teresa replied in a low voice, "Your Highness is so busy now, I don't want him to lose his temper over this kind of thing. Besides, I'm afraid that such a shameful thing will be spread. It doesn’t look good either.”

Your Majesty doesn’t know yet?

Charlie felt relieved and felt as if he had been granted amnesty.

He now felt a thorn in his side about his cousin. If his cousin really aroused great anger, he didn't know how to resist it.

As long as the cousin doesn't know about it, it will be easy to handle.

At least judging from Teresa's tone, she hoped to solve the problem quietly without making any noise.

——Of course, he didn’t know that Theresa said this just because Aigron told her.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" He thanked Theresa immediately. "I really can't express my gratitude to you in words."

"Words are always useless. If you really have the sincerity to solve the problem, you should take practical actions—" Teresa was not infected by his excitement, but narrowed her eyes slightly, expressing this Hint what you mean.

Of course Charlie knows that now that he has reached this point, he must take practical actions to make up for his mistakes. It is impossible to muddle through.

"I will try my best to make up for the shortfall, but it will take some time." He gritted his teeth and then made a promise, "Please be a little more lenient."

Seeing that he finally made a practical promise, Theresa's expression finally relaxed a little.

This step is enough. Since His Highness does not want to completely break with this cousin, there is no need to continue to force him.

"Anyway, you are His Highness's cousin after all, we are all one family, and I don't want to make you too ugly, so... let's solve the problem in another way."

"What do you mean?" Charlie asked immediately.

"I told Your Highness that our family is thin and we need everyone to work together to tide over the difficulties, but this does not mean that all family members must be selfless. You have your own objective needs just like everyone else—" Leisa replied in a low voice, "So, in my opinion, part of the previous shortfall is indeed your reasonable expenditure, and I don't want to force you to go bankrupt right away, but you must recognize this shortfall and make up for it later. "

After finishing speaking, Theresa picked up the pen, handed it to Charlie, and motioned for him to open the account book.

"Sign your name on the back of every transaction I write, and write that this is what you owe."

Charlie's eyes suddenly opened wide.

In fact, there is no need to be so complicated. You only need to calculate the ledger and ask him to sign it. Teresa deliberately asked him to sign everywhere, which is almost humiliating.

He looked at Teresa pleadingly, but received no response. Obviously this was the last grace.

Unexpectedly, some old memories came back to him.

Very good! An Austrian woman climbed on top of us again to show off her power!

At that time, he was very young and had not yet felt that kind of anger and pain, but now, his whole soul was trembling with this anger.

But now, he can only swallow his anger, because the situation is very unfavorable to him, Teresa has his criminal evidence, if she reports it to His Majesty, then he will lose everything.

So he could only lower his head and admit his fault.

He picked up a pen and tremblingly wrote his name behind every word written by Teresa in her account book, completing the punishment bestowed by Her Highness the Princess.

This name that he was usually proud of seemed so shocking to him at the moment, making his eyes hurt.

There was a deathly silence in the room, only the soft sound of paper and pen rubbing against each other. After an unknown amount of time, he finally finished his work and signed his name wherever Teresa requested.

"Your Highness, I have completed what you asked for." With a sense of despair and exhaustion, he looked at Teresa again.

It should be OK now, right? he asked in his mind.

Teresa remained silent, took the account book, flipped through it, and then put it aside.

"Very well, then I have no objection. As long as you know your mistakes and correct them, after all, you are still our beloved elder brother, and I will respect you as before." Then, she smiled slightly, but this smile could not be seen How kind, "Next, I hope you can learn from it and stop playing tricks. If there is another time, I won't be so easy to deal with. I think you will be able to think clearly about the consequences at that time?"

"I understand, Your Highness." Charlie couldn't say anything more at this time, he could only nod his head, "I will definitely change my past and try my best to serve Your Majesty and you from now on."

Theresa looked at him without speaking.

Charlie was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly understood something. "I will definitely obey your orders from now on. If anyone dares to be disrespectful to you, I will never spare him!"

"Okay, then I have nothing more to say. I wish you all the best -" Teresa waved her hand gently, signaling the other party to leave.

Charlie, who was covered in cold sweat and close to collapse, finally left this sad place with anger, unwillingness and joy.
