Eagle’s Glory

"Who are you loyal to?"

Edgar's questioning made Chanel suddenly feel angry for no reason - how dare someone still question his loyalty?

"I am a Frenchman, and my allegiance will always be His Majesty, and I would give everything for His Majesty!" She replied hissingly, "Is there even a need to ask?"

"Isn't that very clear...?" Edgar suddenly smiled slightly, and then spread his hands smartly, "You are only loyal to His Majesty, so why do you come down to question or reprimand me instead of His Majesty Teresa? I'm obviously the same person as you, and I don't hesitate to do anything for His Majesty—"

"Where is it the same?" Chanel was so angry that she was about to laugh, and couldn't help but glared at the other party, "I didn't do anything like you."

Although being taught by Chanel in person, Edgar did not show any anger, but continued to talk, "Now that the matter has come to this, let me admit it to you, yes, I did plan to match His Majesty and Agnes, But so what? Doesn't having such an idea just show my loyalty to His Majesty? Not only me, but when we first met in Switzerland, Alice also considered asking Agnes to marry him... "

Hearing Edgar bring up Mrs. Alice, Chanel hesitated for a moment, "I can understand Mrs. Alice's thoughts, but... But after all, His Majesty has a fiancée, and His Majesty will definitely marry her, although I feel sorry for Miss Agnes, too, but maybe it's just a trick of fate."

"Even if His Majesty is married, so what? Is there anyone who stipulates that he can only love his wife? That's too demanding for a king..." When talking about this, Edgar went on He laughed meaningfully, "As subjects, we are obliged to try our best to cater to any wish of His Majesty, even if it is just a whim, right? Don't talk about others, if Your Majesty, um... needs you If so, would you firmly refuse it? I'm afraid this is not in line with your loyalty?"

He was serious on the surface, but in fact he was teasing, even close to teasing. Of course, Chanel could hear the hint in it, so that she was ashamed and angry at once, and almost had a seizure.

However, she also knew that what the other party said was correct, if His Majesty had "needs" for her, she would be very willing to cooperate, and even took the initiative to beg His Majesty for mercy.

So Edgar's rebuttal hits the nail on the head - you have recommended yourself to His Majesty, so what right do you have to accuse him of matching His Majesty and Agnes?

Because Edgar was logically irrefutable, Chanel was speechless for a moment.

If you follow the normal communication etiquette of the upper class,

Edgar's words were already a serious faux pas, and it would not be too much for Chanel to interrupt the conversation directly.

However, Chanel was unwilling to leave in a hurry. In her mind, the intimate relationship between herself and His Majesty was the most important honor in her life, and she did not allow anyone to make fun of it.

"I follow His Majesty, and I am willing to dedicate everything to him. No matter when and where His Majesty asks me, I will fulfill it with joy, regardless of any gain or loss." She blushed, suppressing her embarrassment and retorting The other party said, "But I know what I should do. I never thought of destroying the relationship between Your Majesty and His Highness Teresa, and I never thought of getting anything from it. As long as Your Majesty is happy... So, What qualifications do you have to say that we are the same? You are just using Miss Agnes to flatter His Majesty and take the opportunity to win His Majesty's favor!"

Because she became angry from embarrassment, Chanel simply tore her face apart, and directly stated the words without any politeness.

However, although her words were very ugly, Edgar was not angry. On the contrary, he had already seen that the maid was short-hearted and confused in front of her words.

Hmph, although she is favored by His Majesty, she has never seen anything in the world after all, even if she puts on an arrogant posture in front of her, she is still just a little girl who is easy to play with.

Edgar, who has been tempered in the social arena in Paris and has won the favor of countless ladies and ladies, is quite relaxed when dealing with Chanel.

"Miss Chanel, I have never questioned your loyalty, but why did you question my loyalty with such vicious words?" He asked with a sneer, "You made a mistake—the reason why the situation has developed to such an extent It’s all because of His Majesty’s own wishes, so can I still force His Majesty to associate with Agnes? Your Majesty likes Agnes, do you think it’s wrong?”

Facing this interrogation, Chanel's momentum suddenly weakened again.

Although this is a fact, even if the facts are all there, she is unwilling to admit that His Majesty is wrong anyway.

"This is all the result of your deliberate deception..."

"What is deception? Do you think that you are qualified to deceive His Majesty who is so intelligent? Chanel, you think too highly of me." Edgar retorted the maid with a smile, "It is His Majesty's own pleasure." , I just try my best to help him in line with my obligation, if you think what you did is not wrong, then I don't know what I did wrong at all! If you think it's flattery, then I can only say , I am very honored to have this opportunity to flatter His Majesty!"

After being retorted by Edgar with a gun and a stick, Chanel suddenly lost his words again.

Although she knew that the other party was trying to make excuses, she suddenly didn't know how to refute the other party.

As the closest person to His Majesty, Chanel certainly knew that His Majesty was not the kind of person who would control his desires. In order to satisfy his desire to have fun in a timely manner, he even deliberately seduced His Highness Sophie.

And a girl like Miss Agnes is indeed very attractive, even Chanel herself is secretly heartbroken by it, even if His Majesty is moved, it is not surprising.

How about - of course?

So, what reason is there to blame Edgar?

"Your Majesty has His Majesty's own thoughts, and I really can't interfere, but His Majesty Teresa is very upset. As His Majesty's fiancée, she doesn't want to see these rumors cast a shadow between her and His Majesty—" After thinking for a while , Chanel finally found the reason.

"So, didn't I question you just now? Is your allegiance to Your Majesty, or Teresa?" Edgar immediately asked, "Does Your Majesty need Teresa every time it pleases you?" His Highness's consent? Does His Majesty want to follow her, and let another Austrian woman rule the future court of the empire?"

Chanel bit her lip lightly, then shook her head. "Of course not. Your Majesty's actions do not need the approval of Her Highness Teresa. But...the marriage between the two of them is of great importance, and at this time, absolutely no mistakes are allowed. If Her Highness Teresa is angry If so, how will it end? If you really have no selfish intentions and only want to be loyal to His Majesty, you should know this in a reasonable way."

"Well, I admit that this marriage is unstoppable now, and of course I will not destroy His Majesty's plan and become a sinner." Edgar shook his head with a smile, "But getting married doesn't mean that Your Majesty will do it for you." Abstinence, isn't it? Since you have served Your Majesty since he was at the Austrian court, you should know that people can find emotional comfort in other places besides marriage-if Your Majesty decides to marry Terry Sha's married life needs some other adjustments, so what's wrong with him wanting to get it from Agnes?"

Chanel's eyes widened, and she was stunned for a while.

She did not expect that the handsome young man in front of her would be so brazen as to openly say that her wife and sister could be a mistress.

It seems that Princess Teresa saw it right, the Treville family had made this idea from the beginning-she finally believed it completely.

"That...that's Miss Agnes..." she hissed, "would she be willing to do such a thing?"

"Dear Miss Chanel, sometimes people's decision-making is an accidental situation, which will change according to the objective environment." Edgar shrugged slightly, "Agnes's current thoughts and future thoughts are not necessarily the same. will agree."

Hearing the answer from the other party, Chanel was also secretly relieved.

She had a good impression of Agnes, so she was a little afraid that Agnes would also take the initiative to cooperate with Edgar's plan, otherwise her image in her mind would also collapse.

Now it seems that this is just Edgar's plan.

However, what position should I occupy in it? She suddenly hesitated again.

According to Princess Teresa's will, she should continue to severely reprimand Edgar, and then let him put away his thoughts, and restrain His Majesty not to deviate; but Edgar's question just now hit her vital point— —Since you yourself have taken the initiative to deviate from His Majesty, what reason do you have to accuse others of doing the same?

And in the final analysis, all these are His Majesty's own thoughts, so what reason does he have to forcefully change?

For a while, she became a little upset again, not knowing how to deal with the current situation.

Seeing that he had completely suppressed Chanel in terms of momentum, Edgar felt more comfortable, and he continued with a smile on his face, "Chanel, I don't deny what I did, but my own purpose , but for His Majesty, if Agnes stays with him, it will be of great benefit to us."

"Where did you start?" Chanel was a little puzzled.

"Isn't this obvious? Both Louis XVI and the first emperor married Austrian women, and as a result, one went to the guillotine and the other was forced to die in a foreign land. The French people are tired of the mother of the country from Austria. I think, Your Highness Teresa I'm afraid I won't be able to get their love from the heart, after all, she is a foreigner, and her growth, her joys and anger are difficult to empathize with the French." Edgar continued word by word, "But Agnes Silk is different, she is the most eye-catching flower after our own famous family, she will be loved by everyone, so she can also help His Majesty to win the hearts of the people - I am only thinking of His Majesty's cause , will make this decision!"

Although these words were groundless, Edgar spoke confidently, as if adding incomparable persuasion to himself.

Then, he looked at Chanel again, and continued, "And, if you think about it again, His Majesty himself grew up from abroad, so far his relationship with the Austrians is still inseparable, will the people think about it?" Are you indifferent? The French would like to see His Majesty surrounded by French people, and Agnes is the best candidate—have you forgotten? Those who married the queens of the Medici family or the Habsburg family Kings all have French women who are closer to them. This is a great historical tradition of our country and it is also necessary. How can foreigners dominate our court?! For kings, marriage is only for obtaining legal heirs Necessary means, but the affection of our king should remain on the land of France!"

Edgar did not say these words to fool Chanel alone.

In fact, this is also a situation he deliberately created.

He never cared about the difference between the French or the Austrians in his heart, and he never had any dislike for Princess Teresa, but for his own sake, he deliberately spread a kind of anti-foreigner among Aigron's clique. feeling of repulsion——

This sense of repulsion is actually deeply hidden in the hearts of every Frenchman, so he can easily do this.

He used this rhetoric to create an image of a "true Frenchman" for Agnes, and then used the history of French kings marrying foreign princesses but getting close to their mistresses to increase his persuasion, advocating that only through this historical tradition , to win the hearts of the people.

Regardless of whether Agnes is willing or able to take on this responsibility, as long as the people around His Majesty and the French think she can, then she has actually done it.

And his remarks undoubtedly touched Chanel.

Chanel is also a Frenchman, and as a loyal supporter of the empire, she has a deep-rooted hostility towards all "foreigners" because of the seven anti-French alliances.

This kind of hostility was slightly suppressed because of Princess Teresa's deliberate favor and win over her, but deep down in her heart, she still didn't have much closeness to Princess Teresa.

And Miss Agnes, that's completely different, that's the real "one of my own".

Under his rhetoric, Chanel suddenly found himself completely shaken.

But...Princess Teresa's exhortation also reverberated in her mind, and she was unwilling to do anything that would disappoint Her Highness the Princess.

All kinds of thoughts rushed into her mind, so that she was at a loss for a while.

"Okay, please come back today, I will go and talk to Miss Agnes in detail." Finally, she issued an order to evict the guest.
