Eagle’s Glory

"I think from the bottom of my heart that with your help, His Majesty will achieve great things more easily."

Agnes listened to Chanel's words quietly, with an uncertain expression.

In fact, she has heard this kind of words from Edgar countless times before. Edgar's words are much better than Chanel's, but they can't impress her. On the contrary, she is tired of listening, and even a little disgusted cliche.

However, she could also feel that Chanel was extremely sincere to her, so she couldn't bear to speak too harshly.

"Chanel, I admire your loyalty to him very much, but... I am not interested in domestic politics at all, and I don't want to cause trouble for my parents for no reason, so I can't consider joining your master for the time being After a moment of silence, Agnes replied in a low voice, "However, I will remember what you said, and I will think about it later."

In terms of Agnes's usual temper towards people, she was willing to reply like this, which was regarded as a very polite and tactful refusal.

Chanel knew this, but she still couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

In addition to being disappointed, she was also a little curious—so, what was the entanglement between His Majesty and Miss Agnes like?

If it's a friend, it seems to be more than that; but if it's an intimate relationship, judging from her performance, it doesn't seem like it.

No... It's your Majesty's wishful thinking but he didn't succeed, right? A ridiculous idea suddenly flashed in her mind.

She couldn't believe it, because in her mind, that young man was so extraordinary and charismatic that he should be able to do everything to the girls——His Royal Highnesses Sophie and Teresa were so enamored of him, which clearly proved this a little.

So how is it possible? Chanel immediately dismissed the idea.

However, since the conversation has reached this point, she has no way to continue.

"Well... I sincerely hope to see the day when you stand with us..." She held back her disappointment and nodded towards Agnes.

Because of this small disturbance, the originally harmonious atmosphere between the two of them immediately dropped. Agnes didn't know what to say for a while, so she decided to interrupt the conversation.

"Okay, Chanel, I think you should have a lot of things to do...?"

Of course, Chanel could tell that this was an order to evict guests.

So she stood up obediently, and saluted Agnes to say goodbye.

But when he was about to leave, Chanel suddenly spoke again. "Miss Agnes, will you grant me another request?"

"Huh?" Agnes was a little unhappy, but she nodded because of Chanel's respect, "Please tell me—but if it's still the same as before, then don't talk about it."

"It won't be difficult for you, it's just a matter of effort for you..." Chanel shook his head, "Your Majesty has been depressed recently because of the unfavorable war, so I invite you to meet him as a friend and explain to him ... Even if you just give him a few words of comfort, I think it will make him feel much better."

"No." Agnes shook her head subconsciously, "I didn't come here to amuse him."

Chanel kept looking at Agnes with eyes that seemed to be asking, "Why not?"

Agnes frowned slightly, as if hesitating for something.

In the depths of her heart, isn't that what she once thought?

In the end, she let out a sigh, and then nodded lightly, "Well, since you are like this, then I... just"

Maybe for her, this is also a reason to convince herself.

-------------------------------------------------- --

It was already night, and the cold moon fell mercilessly on this land, silently witnessing the endless confrontation and fighting in the world.

In order to prevent disturbances caused by noise at night, strict control and discipline were implemented in the military camp, so the entire camp has fallen into silence.

In the midst of this silence, Aigron returned to his camp under the escort of the guards.

Throughout the day, while discussing the next strategy with his confidantes, he personally inspected Edmond Dantès and the Death Squad he selected, which can be described as extremely busy.

So now that he was physically and mentally exhausted, after returning to the tent, he only wanted to lie down and sleep quickly under Chanel's service.

However, to Aigron's surprise, Chanel was not here at this time.

He was a little angry immediately, because he had ordered Chanel not to run around, so as not to cause a commotion, but he did not expect that she did not obey the order.

In addition to being angry, he was more puzzled, why Chanel, who had always been obedient, would suddenly not listen to his own words

His doubts were quickly resolved, because the curtain of the tent was quickly lifted.

"Your Majesty~" Chanel saluted Aigron with a smile on his face.

Aegron didn't reply, but looked at her suspiciously.

Because, with the help of the dim light from the oil lamp, he could clearly see that Chanel was not the only one standing outside, but also the girl in men's clothes.

"Agnes?" he exclaimed. "It's actually you!?"

"Is it that strange to see me?" Agnes asked angrily.

"That's not true..." Aigron reacted, and then made an inviting gesture, "Please come in."

So the two girls came in.

The area of ​​the tent was not large, so after they all came in, the distance between the three of them became quite close, and they could all look into each other's eyes.

Especially Agnes, with embarrassment, a little joy, and forced indifference in her expression, it is really wonderful.

"May I know what happened?" Eggron asked with a smile.

"I'm going to ask your good maid about this—" Agnes replied angrily, "She kept telling me that you have been extremely troubled recently, and hoped that I could explain it to you as a friend. "

Aigron looked at Chanel, but Chanel just smiled without saying a word, and bowed his knees to salute him.

Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Aigron probably understood.

——Chanel must have exaggerated how troubled she was in front of Agnes, and then asked Agnes to come and say something nice to herself.

"Thank you." After realizing it, he nodded to Agnes to thank Agnes, "I appreciate this kindness, don't worry, I won't be decadent because of this, on the contrary, I am full of fighting spirit now."

"Yes, I know that with your willpower, a temporary setback will never knock you down." Agnes nodded lightly, "But even so, I still want to tell you, I sincerely hope I hope you can win, and wish you all the best in the future, leading Chanel, my brother-in-law, and so many people who follow you to glory. I have witnessed your victory and all those who strive for victory. And the price paid, I believe those costs are meaningful, and you are the one who gave it meaning."

Aegron was slightly moved.

He had heard too much similar flattery, but when it was said from Agnes, it seemed to have a special incentive, which lifted his originally depressed spirit.

"I will...Agnes, I will never let you down, let everyone down," he replied loudly.

"That's good." Agnes nodded with a smile.

Then, the two fell into silence, and of course Chanel did not intervene knowingly.

In the end it was Eggron who broke the silence.

"Agnes, can you go for a walk with me?" he suggested.

"Huh?" Agnes was obviously surprised, and then subconsciously shook her head.

Aigron understood that at this time she must have recalled those "unpleasant" memories of the last time they hunted together.

"I know, we still have some small grievances between us, but I don't think it will affect our friendship." In order not to shake her, he immediately continued. "Since you are here to comfort me, I also accept this kindness. I just want to walk with you under the moonlight to dispel the last dark clouds in my heart...Can you give me this honor again?"

Under his sincere gaze, Agnes could only smile helplessly at last, "If you think it's not time to go to bed, then I'll walk with you for a few steps."

Aegron gave Chanel a wink, and Chanel understood, nodded with a smile, and then she walked out of the tent first, letting the guards spread out a little, leaving enough room for Aegron and Agnes to walk .

The next two people walked out of the camp, and then strolled in the open space outside.

Because the camp was set up on a high ground, they were able to see the night view of this land when they walked on the hillside.

Aegron didn't speak, and Agnes just wanted to entertain him, so she didn't take the initiative to speak, so the two of them circled the small hill under the night sky.

After walking for a short distance, Aigron stopped, and then he stood on a slope, his eyes moved up and down, taking a panoramic view of everything.

Looking up, there is a nearly round moon and the bright stars all over the sky.

Looking down, there are star bonfires among the camp and the distant fortress.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" He seemed to ask someone, but also asked himself.

"It's better to say sad than beautiful." Agnes replied calmly, "We, and everything else, are nothing but tiny dust in the sky..."

"That's not like something you would say." Aigron was a little surprised.

"Then what do you think is what I should say?" Agnes asked back, "I am indeed very confident in myself, but I know...some things cannot be shaken by personal ability alone. I have experienced the fate of fate. The frenzy, seeing my own family members displaced, I can only admit its great power."

"So, instead of waiting to be torn apart by the frenzy or drifting with the tide, why not choose to ride the frenzy?" Aegron asked back, "Fate has not only been ruthless to you, but also to me, but so what? I am not convinced, I I will never admit defeat! If I am doomed, at least I have to take a gamble myself before admitting failure. I will live happily or die happily. I will not regret either outcome .”

Then, he pointed to the Fortress of Mesolonghi, where dense and dim lights shone in the distance.

"On my way, if there is something in my way, just crush it! I will treat my friends and enemies with the most serious attitude. Do you believe it or not? Today I am stirring up trouble in Greece Rain, after a while, the whole of France will be stormed because of me?"

Agnes didn't answer for a while, because she knew in her heart that what the young man said would probably come true.

After speaking these arrogant heartfelt words, Aigron didn't speak again for a while, but looked at the earth again.

The land under the dark night is so empty, but so lonely, as if abandoned by the gods.

But this young man firmly believed in his heart that the gods would never abandon him, his destiny was in his own hands, and the whole world was waiting to be shaped by him.

And at this moment, the girl who stays by his side will also become an indispensable part of this shaped world.

Yes... the company at this moment is destined to be short, but he doesn't want to lose it, so he wants to make this short time into eternity.

If you miss the time spent with Agnes, wouldn't it be good to keep her by your side?

I've lost so much that I refuse to lose, hate to lose...yes, I can't lose anything more.

He suddenly felt a little sour in his nose.

Then, slowly, he raised his head and looked at Agnes.

Under the moonlight, his eyes flickered with eye-catching light, as if they were lit torches.

"Thank you, Agnes..." he said leisurely.

"You...what's the matter with you?" Agnes suddenly felt uneasy for no reason.

"You just did something stupid, Agnes." Aggron smiled, and answered her softly.

"What? Stupid thing?!" Agnes was furious immediately, "I came to comfort you with good intentions, but you said that about me?"

"No, that's not what I meant—" Aigron shook his head, "I mean, you showed such kindness to me, but it made me... make me miss you even more."

As soon as these words came out, Agnes' expression changed immediately.

She took a step back and looked at the young man warily. "What do you want to do?"

"Come on, Agnes...you know it's pointless." Agron shook his head.

Although he didn't want to do anything, but for some reason, he deliberately wanted to tease Agnes.

So, he straightened his face and made a dangerous expression. "Don't forget, I can do whatever I want here."

"Are you crazy?" Agnes frowned.

"Am I wrong? Here I have thousands of subordinates, and they obey all my orders, and they don't complain even if I let them die - so why can't I do whatever I want? Dear lady, my will is everything here ! Besides... Even if we fight fairly, can you win me? So, stop doing unnecessary resistance, and face this starry sky with me..."

Under his smiling gaze, Agnes found herself feeling a little scared.

As he said just now, there are thousands of people here, and they all obey him. If he really wants to do something to him, it is almost impossible for him to resist.

Unless you knock him down now...

So she was already thinking about how to knock down this young man in her mind.

However, last time she severely injured this young man, it was because she caught him off guard, but this time the other party must have been prepared, so of course she will not let her easily succeed again.

It would be much better if she had a sword in her hand, but now she didn't carry any weapon.

If she had to fight hard, she would definitely not be able to beat the young man in front of her...

Under the moonlight, the young man's half-smile face, with a little sarcasm, seemed to say, "It's useless to struggle, just listen to me."

This handsome face is so hateful.

Why would I be so stupid as to obey Chanel's words and run over to provoke him by myself? For a moment, her heart was filled with remorse and regret.

Just when Agnes was guarding and secretly frightened, she found that the young man from years ago suddenly burst out laughing.

"Agnes, you look so cute now, just like a cat whose tail has been pinched... Hahahaha..."

Laughing, he kept standing where he was, without making any movements.

Just as Agnes was terrified, Egron knew that if he used his own strength now, Agnes would definitely be powerless to resist himself, and he could really do whatever he wanted.

But he didn't want to do this, because he knew that if he did this, even if he succeeded this time, he would never end up with Agnes in the future, and there was absolutely no possibility of re-establishing the relationship in the future.

He has always been a person with a long-term vision, and of course he will not lose future benefits for the sake of momentary pleasure.

What he wanted was her, not a moment of pleasure.

"Why do you have to put on such a wary expression towards me? Do you think I will fight with you and be violent to you? No...Agnes, you underestimate me." Egron looked at her with a smile, "Like For a person like me, using individual violence is self-degrading, let alone doing this to a girl, I will not let myself lose my due dignity. I will use higher levels of violence to make everything It all worked out as I wanted it to.”

Without waiting for Agnes to ask, he continued, "Humans have created civilizations, and then created countries. It is undoubtedly unfair to attribute power to a small group of people, but it is the only feasible way. method, because only in this way can the country continue to operate... The so-called power and authority are just means to maintain this mode of operation. Human beings are great and can create all unimaginable creations; but human beings are small and pathetic Yes, because they can only shelter themselves under the protection of the country, even if they are oppressed or even killed, there is nothing they can do. They can only tremble and wait for the coming of peace and prosperity. In the face of power, you choose to follow the crowd and wait for the verdict of fate, but I want to tell you that what I choose is to grab the power into my own hands, since some people are destined to be crushed, then I choose not to be one of them!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Agnes proudly, "You can hide now because my authority is not enough, but one day I will get the whole of France, and I will dominate everything in this country... …then you won’t be able to hide, I’ll hold you in my arms, I’ll love you and I’ll kiss you, and I’ll do all the things I want to do now but haven’t done, I’ll do it, Agnes, Please give me some time! I believe it will not be too long!"
