Eagle’s Glory

Chapter 252 139, having both sides

"No, Your Majesty, I would be happy to!"

Seeing that His Majesty became unhappy, Edgar no longer hesitated and immediately agreed to this chore.

However, although he was obedient on the surface, he was complaining in his heart - how could he, a young man who had been wandering around the Parisian scene for so many years, endure such hardship?

However, he had no room to refuse and could only agree.

He could see that His Majesty had some contempt for him in his heart, and he did not intend to fight to the death to gain His Majesty's favor like Edmond Dantès.

My father would never be happy to see this result.

So... for yourself, especially for the future of the Treville family, you have to sacrifice others.

Edgar thought for a moment and then made his decision.

"Your Majesty, can you take care of Agnes while I'm on my mission?" he whispered. "It's not convenient for her to be in the middle of our team after all... If I'm not here, it would be best for her to avoid contact with others."

Aigron was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"Then let her come over. I'm happy to entertain her now."

After all, he had just won the victory. Although Agron pretended to be calm on the surface, he was naturally very happy in his heart. He was also very happy to show off to others - especially someone as proud as Agnes who was not one of his subordinates.

Seeing the young man nodding, Edgar immediately became energetic. He moved closer, and then lowered his voice and spoke to the young man. "Your Majesty... I can see along the way that Agnes has been impressed by your charm for a long time. I think she admires you a little."

"What?" Aigron was a little surprised and looked at him suspiciously.

He didn't know what was going on, but he could see some malicious aura in Edgar's handsome and gentle appearance.

"Are you deliberately adding insult to injury? I don't think Agnes would admire me so easily." After a moment, Agron replied.

As he talked, he suddenly remembered that just yesterday, Edgar had seriously proposed to find him a woman "to relieve the fatigue of the journey."

He suddenly understood something in his heart.

"Edgar, what on earth are you planning?!" He frowned and asked Edgar.

From Aiglon's questioning, Edgar saw that His Majesty had guessed his plan - but he didn't care about being seen out, or it might be better to point it out directly.

"Your Majesty, I really didn't lie. Agnes does admire you quite a bit.

It's just that she has been proud since she was a child, so she doesn't want to admit it. " He continued to lie seriously, "To tell you the truth, in my opinion, none of the noble men in Paris is worthy of Agnes. Among all her peers, I think you are the only one. It was considered outstanding, enough to convince her. "

Although he knew that Edgar was deliberately complimenting him, Aigron couldn't help but feel a little proud after hearing this - in his opinion, this was the truth.

So he said nothing and looked at Edgar to let him continue.

"To tell you the truth, since our couple said goodbye to you in Switzerland and returned to France, Alice has told me several times that she thinks you and Agnes are very suitable, and I kept rebutting her at first—like you How could a wild girl like Agnes be worthy of such an aristocrat? But after a lot of times, I kind of agree with this view..." Edgar spoke with a lot of flowers, and put himself His wife also pulled it out as a shield, "Later, my father also learned about Alice's thoughts, and he was quite supportive, so this time he and Alice asked Agnes to come with me, and he had a little bit of thought. In the unlikely event that you and Agnes develop some wonderful sparks, they won't have to worry about Agnes' future—she'll be looked after by the best people in the world."

Edgar had already drafted these words in his heart many times, so when he said them, he said them smoothly and naturally, without any flaws, and of course, without any shame.

Because his expression was so natural, Aigron believed it for a moment.

Alice, do you think so?

In his mind he recalled his experience with Alice in Switzerland.

They talked cordially, went boating together on the lake, improvised a poem on their own whim, and even gave Alice's child a name at Alice's request.

Alice really respected him very much. On the one hand, this respect must be due to the fact that the Treville family regarded him as the master; but on the other hand, he believed in his own talent, which was also recognized by Alice.

And he also admires Alice's personality and character very much—so no matter how much he despises Edgar in his heart, he still has respect for Mrs. Treville in the distance.

Therefore, when he heard that Alice had planned to turn himself into a sister-in-law, Aigron was surprised, but also had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

"Your Majesty, please be clear. With your wisdom, can't you see the strangeness of Alice's behavior?" After finishing speaking, Edgar asked the young man, "Why did she deliberately let her sister come here? Why? Are you forcing her to stay by my side all the time because she is worried about me? In fact, she has high hopes for you and Agnes..."

Edgar's words were half true and half false - Alice agreed to their father and son's proposal, but he deliberately described the plans of the Treville father and son as Alice's initiative.

After being in the social scene for so many years, Edgar has become quite proficient in this kind of speaking skills.

Aigron also gradually believed his words.

Indeed, if explained in this way, everything makes sense.

However, Alice's plan was doomed to be a failure from the beginning.

When she asked her sister to come, she must not have thought that Teresa had already come to her, right?

This is a coincidence of fate.

What if Theresa didn't come to him at this time?

——An idea suddenly occurred to him.

He couldn't think of the result at once, but he asked himself, and he really didn't hate Agnes.

Forget it, now that we have reached this point, there is no point in thinking about so many things.

"I see...I understand." He nodded, and then smiled bitterly, "I am very grateful to Alice for thinking so highly of me, but unfortunately, now that I have promised Theresa to marry her, I I will never break this promise, so I am destined to be unable to respond to Alice’s kindness..."

"Yes, Your Majesty, as soon as I came here, I knew that Alice's wish was destined to fail, so I didn't dare to tell you this at the time." Edgar sighed, "This is indeed regrettable! If Iger Nice can just be with you in Switzerland! I believe that will be the happiest outcome."

Aigron didn't know how to reply to the other party.

After a pause, he changed the topic.

"Okay, so what do you mean by what you just told me?"

"I have no other meaning. I just want to take good care of Agnes as much as possible, let her spend this period of time safely, and then return to China with me." Edgar looked at Agron with an innocent face, "Now I All I think about is how to explain to Alice, and I can’t expect anything else.”

Although Edgar's words were basically impeccable, Aigron still felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

He just looked at Edgar suspiciously, waiting for the other person's next words.

"Please rest assured, even if I can't marry you, Alice's respect for you will not be reduced by half." Edgar continued to Aigron sincerely, "Similarly, Agnes can also Become your friend, and she will be happy to witness your great achievements and praise your heroic deeds. Maybe this experience will become an unforgettable experience for her in her life - "

Although Edgar is still very careful with his words, Edgar's mention of "friends" is already full of explicit implications.

It's just that Aiglon didn't realize the meaning - on the one hand, he had not been in the French court or romantic court, and lacked the tacit understanding of knowing each other; on the other hand, he had never imagined that, like Treville, The descendants of famous nobles like the general and Edgar secretly wanted to give Agnes as a gift in order to flatter her.

"Although I cannot respond to Alice's expectations due to objective reality, if Alice entrusts me to take care of her sister, then of course I will take good care of her." Aigron agreed directly without any hesitation. "In addition, I actually admire Agnes quite a lot. It should be a joy to get along with her as a friend..."

alright! Just wait for your words!

Edgar was overjoyed.

But he didn't show any signs of it on the surface, because he knew it wasn't time to finish yet.

He was not in a hurry, he knew that he could push slowly and let his father's and his own ideas slowly come true.

Of course he knew nothing about leading troops to fight or planning and maneuvering on the map, but when he came to the wind and moon field that he was familiar with, he was able to do it with ease and had a bit of a commander's temperament.

After all, he knew in his heart that as long as he could stir up trouble and create opportunities for two such outstanding boys and girls to get along with each other, they would naturally be attracted to each other - not to mention that they had a relationship before!

Although the glory of the Treville family is destined not to be carried forward by him, can't it be realized through Agnes?

"Okay, Your Majesty, thank you for being so magnanimous and generous." Edgar bowed and said goodbye to him. "I won't disturb you anymore. Before executing your order, please allow me to see Agnie." Si, let me explain the situation to her."

"Okay, go ahead." Aigron waved his hand, indicating that he could leave.

Edgar passed through the still messy battlefield and returned to the place where he had stopped temporarily. At this time, the baggage carriage that had just been pulled off due to the urgent march was slowly moving with the arrival of the logistics troops. here we go.

Edgar followed the baggage train and came to a carriage, and then gently knocked on the door of the carriage.

The door was quickly opened.

Agnes, dressed in military uniform, was indeed sitting inside, looking at her brother-in-law expressionlessly.

"How's the battle going?" She asked in a low voice when she saw Edgar.

As she asked, she looked ahead from the car window.

"Everything seems to be going well?"

"Yeah, everything went well." Edgar nodded. "His Majesty is victorious and he is in a very good mood."

"What about you? How are you doing?" Agnes asked.

"Me? So-so." Edgar replied nonchalantly, "I charged with the army. Although I didn't kill a single enemy soldier, at least I completed my due obligations."

Agnes looked at Edgar suspiciously.

She already knew her brother-in-law quite well, so she didn't really believe that he would risk his life to charge into battle.

But since he said that, Agnes didn't intend to get to the bottom of it, and just accepted it as fact.

"That's great. I think Alice will be very happy too." She nodded slightly.

Then, she asked, "What tasks has your Majesty assigned to you now?"

Edgar didn't answer immediately, and he was obviously embarrassed.

"Did he ask you to help him paint to show off his achievements?" Seeing her brother-in-law's embarrassed expression, Agnes asked.

"It would be great if that was the case..." Edgar spread his hands helplessly, "Your Majesty ordered me to collect the remains of the war dead and bury them properly."

Agnes's face suddenly turned pale.

Although she was brave, she loved cleanliness after all. How could she remain unmoved when she thought of dead bodies covered with blood on the ground?

She would rather face ten enemies alone than deal with a lot of dead bodies.

"He really would arrange such a task for you... shouldn't I do it too?" She suppressed the unhappiness in her heart and asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry, how could I be willing to let our cutest girl in Paris do such a thing? Just leave it to me alone." Edgar puffed up his chest, looking confident, "But, in I can’t take care of you during this time.”

"I don't need your care in the first place." Agnes glanced sideways, "You just have to do your own thing."

Edgar's sister-in-law's contempt did not make Edgar feel any embarrassment. Instead, he laughed and said, "Even if you don't need my care, it would be too shameful for you to hang out with a group of big-headed soldiers..."

"Then what do you think we should do?" Agnes asked impatiently.

"I have asked Your Majesty, he will take good care of you." Edgar replied immediately.

Although his tone was calm, Agnes was shocked.

"What do you mean by proper care?" she asked sheepishly.

"That's the literal meaning." Edgar shrugged, "His Majesty understands your and my difficulties, and for Alice's sake, he is willing to help."

"This is simply ridiculous!" Agnes didn't appreciate it, "Why do I need his care?!"

Edgar's face sank and he suddenly became serious.

"Agnes, I know you have always been arrogant, but now, since Alice is asking you to help me, I hope you can put away your temper and follow the arrangements instead of causing trouble for us... Now each of us With all the heavy responsibilities on our shoulders, it is His Majesty’s greatest kindness that he still has time to be considerate to you under such circumstances. If you lose your temper again, think about how disappointed Alice will be?!”
