Eagle’s Glory

After watching Princess Maria leave, Aigron reluctantly followed the road he had chased, and returned the same way.

At this time, his secretary Leon, captain of the guard Andre Davout and others remained in place.

When seeing his figure reappear in the field of vision, these people were obviously relieved.

"Your Majesty!" Leon and Andre immediately greeted the young man, "Are you... all right?"

Aigron could see that while he was relieved, there were some surprises and doubts in the eyes of these people.

Indeed, what he just did was somewhat unexpected, and it was normal for them to feel frightened.

"I'm fine, I'd rather say I feel pretty good." Aigron replied with a smile.

Leon and Andre looked at each other, and then Andre boldly asked him again, "Is the lady just now someone you met before? What is her... identity?"

Aiglon's smile did not change, and then he gave an answer that confused them. "Yes and no. Anyway, don't ask any more questions. She won't cause us any trouble."

Aigron knew that they were still full of doubts, but as the master, he did not need to explain so much to others, he only needed to give orders for them to execute.

Sure enough, seeing Aigron's attitude, no one dared to ask any more questions. They were just secretly glad that no one came over just now and no chaos was caused. Of course, they couldn't know. Someone has already arranged everything, and the chaos they fear will never happen.

In the silence of everyone, Aigron took out his pocket watch and looked at the time.

Although he didn't feel the passage of time when he and Princess Maria were face to face, more than an hour had actually passed by now.

Fortunately, spending so much time is not enough to arouse others' suspicion - after all, it is normal to visit the palace as a guest.

"Okay, let's go back -" After putting away his pocket watch, he gave the order smoothly.

Then he added in a low voice, "You must remember what I just told you."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Leon and Andre replied in unison. Of course they knew what Aigron was referring to.

So, a group of them returned to the palace, and at this time, Teresa's affairs were almost over - the palace painter had completed the painting concept with her, and the next step was the painting stage, that is to say Theresa no longer needs to spend her energy and attention, and the rest is all the painter's own work.

Because of this, Teresa was in a very happy mood, and she smiled like a flower when she saw her husband appearing in front of her.

"Aigron!" She walked to the young man's side with cheerful steps, "You came just in time, we just finished our work here... Oh, you are exhausted."

"Hey, it's really hard on you, Teresa." Agron kissed her cheek, "But I think the hard work is worth it. After all, your beautiful face will be remembered here forever, decorating this beautiful palace. palace."

"It's not that exaggerated. I just hope that compared to other portraits, I won't be too disadvantaged." Teresa replied with a smile. "Besides, can't you also leave a painting as a treasure? I and I The painter has just agreed that he will add some Bonaparte family emblems to the painting given to you."

"That's great! This will be the best gift I can get in Bavaria..." Aigron also laughed. "I am a little grateful to His Majesty the King. If he had not ignored the formality and made a sudden suggestion, I would never have had the chance to receive such an unexpected surprise!"

In front of his wife, he dealt with it freely and calmly, without showing any abnormality. Just looking at this scene, who would have imagined that he was chatting and laughing with another woman just half an hour ago?

Of course Tereza didn't notice it at all.

She was overjoyed at this time and devoted herself wholeheartedly to the joy of married life.

After the couple had an intimate exchange, they returned to their residence to rest together, expressing endless affection and affection.

Although it seemed that the previous turmoil had been sealed in the past, Aigron knew that the next meeting between him and Princess Maria would not take long, and he was secretly looking forward to it.

The next day, King Ludwig I invited the young couple to him again.

As soon as he saw the two of them, the king smiled an extremely friendly smile.

"Originally, I was worried that the two of them would not have enough fun in this quiet and dull country of ours, but now it seems that both of them are having a great time, which really makes me feel relieved."

"Your Majesty, we are very grateful for your warm hospitality." Aigron quickly replied, "You don't have to worry about what opinions we will have. We are very happy."

"We will always remember the respect we receive from you -" Teresa also spoke at the right time, "Your Majesty, you are the first king to entertain us with such courtesy. This touches me very much. I sincerely I hope your country will prosper, and if one day we have the chance to repay your kindness, we will do it."

The couple's words made the king laugh again. "Of course! Others may still have a little prejudice against the Bonaparte family, but please believe that our family definitely does not - on the contrary, we are full of good impressions."

Although his words were obviously polite, Aigron vaguely felt that there seemed to be a little more teasing in His Majesty the King's eyes.

Obviously, the king was secretly teasing himself.

He was slightly embarrassed, but pretended nothing unusual on the surface.

He didn't know how much the king knew about him and Sophie. It depended on how much of the truth Princess Maria revealed to the king's brother - but in any case, judging from His Majesty the King's performance, he didn't care about it all. There is no intention of obstructing it.

He lived happily as a king and left behind countless romantic affairs, so he didn't care about the romantic affairs of a young man.

Seeing that the king was in a good mood, Aigron made his request at the right time.

"Your Majesty the King, I am flattered by your hospitality, but I still have a small wish. I wonder if you can grant it."

"Please feel free to say so, Duke." His Majesty the King nodded immediately. "With us you have as much freedom as you want."

"I have always been full of respect for my sworn brother Eugene. Although he unfortunately died young, his character and willpower are still a model for me and my subordinates even now-" Aigron calmly He made his request, "As my adopted brother, I request to visit his widow, your sister Princess August, and her family. Can you grant your permission?"

This request was completely reasonable, so His Majesty the King immediately nodded and agreed without any hesitation.

"Why do you need to ask me about this matter? Your Highness, I am a Catholic. If I don't let you see the survivors of your sworn brother, wouldn't it be contrary to the mercy taught by God? You can decide when Go and tell my courtiers when the time comes, and they will make arrangements for you."

"That's great." Aigron added, "Speaking of which, I have a maid here named Chanel Noel. She was originally the orphan of an imperial soldier, and later she defected to Prince Eugene. , and then through his arrangement, she served the Bavarian royal family. Later, as a dowry, she followed Her Royal Highness Sophie to Schönbrunn Palace... and then came to me. She was also full of gratitude to Bavaria, especially to Prince Eugene's family. Affection."

"Oh! Is there such a thing?" The king sounded very interested, "This little girl's experience is really legendary."

"It's quite legendary." Aigron smiled and then continued, "She served me well, was loyal and adventurous, and helped me a lot, so... Teresa and I are not just We only regard her as a simple maid, but we trust her and even regard her as half of our family. By the way, in recognition of her contribution, I also specially made her a member of my knighthood - if there is any If one day I can get my wish, I will give her a higher title."

"Haha... It seems that she is really loved by you!" His Majesty the King became more and more curious. "I kind of want to see her. Isn't she pretty?"

As expected of the romantic king, this question went straight to the point, which made Aiglon feel a little embarrassed.

"She is indeed very good-looking, but this is not the reason why we favor her so much. We are more grateful for her loyalty." Aigron reluctantly defended himself, "Your Majesty, I am not telling you this just to tell you. Just telling a story, I have a merciless request - Chanel grew up in Bavaria, where many people must have known her, and she must have humiliated many people. This is not a pleasant memory... Furthermore, if Chanel can receive higher courtesy when we visit Prince Eugène’s family, then it will surely be more able to comfort my adopted brother’s spirit in heaven.”

The king opened his eyes slightly, feeling very surprised.

He didn't expect that this young man would actually consider this step for a maid beside him.

This young man is a passionate seed!

For a moment, the romantic king suddenly felt a feeling of sympathy for the young man in front of him.

The king is always easy to talk to beautiful girls.

"That's absolutely no problem!" His Majesty the King laughed, and then nodded, "I can specially meet with this Ms. Noel, and considering that she is a member of your Knights, I can also give her an honorary title—— Presumably this is enough to make her forget the shadow of her being a servant here with us, right?"

Then, there was a bit more teasing in his smile, "If Ms. Noel is really as beautiful as imagined, I can also invite her to take a souvenir here - the painter is ready anyway, what do you think?"

Regarding the king's absurdity, Aigron only felt dumbfounded.

However, there was no harm anyway, and since the other party was so easy to talk to, he didn't care about making the king happy as well.

"Of course, if she has the opportunity to take a souvenir in your palace and be remembered by the world, that is her luck!" He agreed on behalf of Chanel.

"Well, we've settled it." His Majesty the King was also in a very happy mood, with a smile on his face, "My brother, in my opinion, beauty transcends everything. It has nothing to do with wealth, and it has nothing to do with class - I only hate My kingdom is too small to allow all the beauties in the world to stop and remember it. If you can achieve great things in the future, I would be happy to share with you the photos of those beautiful beauties in France who look like gods, so that there will be more in my court. Somewhat exotic scenery..."

The king's frivolous words aroused some interest in Eggron.

Agron suddenly thought that Edgar de Treville once boasted that he had painted many portraits of Parisian beauties. Maybe he could let Edgar communicate with the king in the future. In order to deepen the personal relationship with the king?

"cough."

Seeing that the two of them were talking more and more vigorously, Teresa couldn't help coughing, interrupting their conversation.

Of course Theresa didn't mind that Chanel enjoyed the dignity and glory of "Homecoming", but seeing her husband talking about beauties with a middle-aged man was really unbearable for her.

"Your Majesty the King, let's get back to the topic. The most important thing for us now is the choice of the King of Greece - I heard from my husband that you are interested in your second son Otto. Can you let us take a look? What about him?"

He was interrupted in the middle of his conversation. King Ludwig was not angry. He just smiled and gave Aigron a meaningful look, then stopped the topic and looked at Theresa again. .

"That's natural. My son Otto is also deeply interested in you two legends, and he also wants to meet you." His Majesty the King's tone was still brisk, "If he is really lucky enough to get that crown, With his immature shoulders, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to bear it by himself, so I ask you two to support him in the future."

He is naturally implying that as long as Otto can become the king of Greece, he will never forget his kindness and will remember to protect the interests of the Aiglons. After all, although Aiglon gave up the throne of Greece, he still has many interests in Greece. involve.

For example, in return for his funding of the rebel army, he can get the right to operate some silver mines, and the new king must also recognize these rights.

Eggron was not afraid that the king he had chosen would not admit it, but the more friendly the Bavarians were, the less trouble he would have.

While the two were talking, a court attendant brought a young man over.

He was not tall, he looked about twelve or thirteen years old, he was wearing a uniform, and his movements were brisk, but he always looked hesitant. His face is quite ordinary, only because of the extremely high standard of living since he was a child, he looks quite fair, but there is not much intelligence in his facial features.

In history, he was nothing more than a mediocre ruler - eventually overthrown by an internal coup.

That was just as well, for Eggron would have felt bad if he had been brilliant and young.

When he saw Aigron and Teresa, he seemed a little excited, but because he wanted to show his dignity, he just bowed stiffly to Aiglon.

"Your Highness, it is a pleasure to meet you."

"Nice to meet you, Otto." Aigron was much more calm. He nodded to the young man with a smile on his face, "I think you must know what we want you to do. But let me remind you in advance that this It's not an easy job, it's a responsibility fraught with tiresome conviction...however, you may consider us as protectors."
