Eagle’s Glory

【The Glory of the Young Eagle】 【】

"However, you can regard us as your protectors."

Aigron's warnings were earnest, but the young Prince Otto was not disappointed by this, nor did he have much fear of his possible future career as a king.

He is only twelve or thirteen years old now. Although he has received royal education, he doesn't really understand what "rule" means, let alone the actual logic of power operation. He is just for a crown that will accidentally fall on his head Just feeling excited.

He knew that as the second son, if he had no chance to be lucky enough to see his elder brother die early, then the best future would be to become a Bavarian prince in the future, and it would be impossible to truly command a country, but now he is There is hope of becoming the king of a new country - even if this country is far away, it is definitely a big leap in his life.

This piece of good news had already made him forget about it, so how could he worry about anything else?

Besides, in Prince Otto's view, his family is flourishing and deeply rooted, and he only needs to bring people from Bavaria to assist him, which is enough to manage the country of Greece well.

However, the smug little prince also had basic sense. He also knew that he must have a good relationship with the young man in front of him.

Although no one has publicly stated it, everyone knows that this crown was given to him by him, and even if he gave up the throne, he still has great influence in Greece. The Principality of Ioannina he created It is also next to his own kingdom - which means that as long as he has the intention, he can cause great trouble to his rule.

In other words, without the cooperation of this "king chooser", he would never be able to safely be the king of Greece.

Therefore, under the advice of his father and teachers, he had already made up his mind to have a good relationship with Duke Lechstadt.

Moreover, as a young man who has just acquired passion, what he admires the most is heroes. Duke Lechstadt happens to be the best among the nobles of the royal family of the same generation. He was filled with admiration.

Because of many considerations, Prince Otto respected Aigron in front of his father, "Your Highness, I have been paying attention to your heroic deeds. You saved a suffering country and a great civilization. Remnants, you have achieved what Christians want to do... I only hate that I was too young to join you as a volunteer and create great feats with you.

But God favored me very much, and gave me the opportunity to be a follower of your great deeds, to lead that nation out of the wounds of long-term wars. In this case, I am willing to follow God’s teachings and your expectations, and shoulder the due responsibilities of members of the royal family responsibility! I also assure you that I will work hard to learn the knowledge that a good king should have, abide by the principles, and use my whole life to seek the well-being of my future people! "

This passage was discussed by his father and teachers, and Prince Otto had already memorized it fluently, so the little prince spoke it very skillfully, and it was full of young people's lofty ambitions at the same time. The mediocre face also has a bit of immature kingly aura.

After listening to Prince Otto's speech, Teresa glanced at Eggron, then nodded slightly, expressing that she was more satisfied with the little prince's attitude.

Since his wife had no objections, Aigron had no objections either.

He did not feel sad about the loss of the Greek throne - after all, subsequent history had already proved that Greece was a chaotic place with a poor country and a weak people.

It's really not worth worrying about.

So as long as the future king does not infringe on his legitimate interests, it doesn't matter to him.

So, he walked up to the little prince, stretched out his hand, and patted him on the shoulder condescendingly.

"Very good, Otto." He deliberately called out the prince's name to narrow the psychological distance between the two, "I was very moved after hearing your words, it seems that you have fully understood As a king, I hope you can remember everything you said today, and then rule your future people with justice and mercy, and don’t disappoint their expectations.”

Aigron's shot was a little heavy, causing the little prince's body to shake slightly, but neither he nor his father minded this little offense. On the contrary, there was a flash in the eyes of both father and son, which could not be concealed. The joy of the young man - the young man's move is tantamount to saying that he has no objection to Prince Otto, and as long as he has no objection, this crown will definitely fall on Prince Otto's head.

As a thousand-year-old noble family in Germany, the Wittelsbach family has always been one of the most important princes. The various branches of the family have successively ruled Pfalz and Bavaria and other places, profoundly affecting the history of the Shenluo Empire.

However, in the past few hundred years, the family has slowly slipped into decline and been weakened in a series of wars.

The biggest blow came after 1740. In this year, Emperor Shinra and Charles VI of the Habsburg family died. However, he left no male heirs and was forced to let his eldest daughter Teresa inherit his Austria Ancestry.

At that time, the Bavarian elector Karl-Albrecht stood up as the leader of the princes and opposed Teresa's succession. In 1742, he was elected by these princes as Emperor Shenluo, named Charles VII.

However, Teresa did not give in to her men, won the victory in the Austrian Succession War, and sent troops into Bavaria, making the "His Majesty the Emperor" ashamed.

After falling into a desperate situation of internal and external troubles, Emperor Charles VII died of depression, and his successor, forced by the situation, also voluntarily withdrew from the election of the new emperor. In this way, the Wittelsbach family ended its three-year rule. Luo's throne returned to the Habsburg family - but, in order not to cause interference from other countries, Queen Teresa chose to let her husband-in-law Franz, Duke of Lorraine take over the throne, and she actually implemented imperial power.

After this catastrophe, Bavaria was in ruins, and the Wittelsbach family also encountered disasters such as the Succession War and the Napoleonic War. Although they barely maintained their ancestral business, they were in decline, let alone fighting for Germany. leadership, it is already exhausting to maintain one's own status without declining.

But now, this declining family has seen an unexpected surprise - the crown from Greece has inexplicably fallen on their head.

The crown means land, population, increased family prestige and strength, and the great contribution this generation of kings have made to the family's prosperity.

How could this wonderful prospect not excite King Ludwig?

He seemed to see a future in which he would be praised as a wise king by his descendants - even though he actually did not put in any effort or price for this crown.

The more he thought about this, the more pleasing he looked at Aigron.

This young man has already achieved great fame. Although he gave up the crown of Greece, he still holds a principality in his hands. Even if he does not become an emperor in the future, his current performance alone is enough to show off. Complacency.

It's a pity that he is already married, otherwise it would be appropriate to become his brother-in-law... Gu

His Majesty the King didn't know why his sister Maria suddenly asked him to see him alone - but according to her, it was because she was quite curious about this young man when she was corresponding with Sophie and wanted to see what he was like. Such people.

This request made King Ludwig a little confused, but he still complied with it, satisfying his sister's curiosity - he didn't know what Maria's real thoughts were, and he didn't bother to care so much.

His father, the forefather King Maximilian I, married twice. The first marriage was to Princess August Wilhelmine of Hesse-Darmstadt. They had 2 sons and 2 daughters who survived to adulthood. , including the king himself, and Princess Augusta, the wife of Prince Eugène; and the second marriage was after the death of his first wife, to Princess Frederick Caroline Wilhelmine of Baden, a total of five Two daughters lived to adulthood (two of them were twins).

So, Sophie and Maria are his half-sisters.

King Ludwig and his stepmother were not close, let alone such a half-sister. Apart from polite greetings, there was not much emotional communication.

He did not expect Maria to have such a request, but considering that her twin sister Sophie and the Duke of Lechstadt had been together, and it was said that Sophie took good care of the Duke, it was not enough for Maria to have some curiosity. No wonder.

Since Sophie married to Austria, King Ludwig had never cared about Sophie at all, but at this time he was full of gratitude to Sophie - after all, it was obvious that the reason why Duke Lechstadt accommodated himself in this way was Family, the biggest reason must be her care for the Duke back then.

A man who ignored his sister after getting married because of a political marriage did not expect to make great contributions to the family while he was silent!

Thinking about it, the king felt a little sad. How many generations of his family had worked hard and participated in so many wars. However, the territory did not increase much, but they were beaten to disgrace countless times. However, he did not expect that a married daughter would , but inadvertently, he more than doubled his family's territory... Even if Greece's national power is weak, the land is still there.

Should I be happy or smile bitterly?

Never mind it! No matter how bad a joke fate plays, the quality of the crown will not be devalued because of it.

When he thought of this, His Majesty the King's mood became unprecedentedly good, and the eyes he looked at Aigron were full of hospitality and joy.

"Your Highness, I will never forget the favor you bestowed on our family today. No matter what happens in the future, you will always be our family's friend. Moreover, I think my sister who is far away in Austria heard this. After this news, I will definitely feel very relieved, and she will definitely be grateful to you! After all, you have lived up to her love and care for you..."

As soon as he heard the king mention Sophie, Aigron suddenly became serious. "I said before that when I was in the most difficult time, it was His Highness Sophie who took care of me selflessly, gave me the courage to face life, and persisted. My heart was always full of gratitude. At that time, I was thinking, if If I can repay the Wittelsbach family in the future, I will definitely do it. After I escaped from Vienna, she was even more suspected by His Majesty the Emperor. I think I owe her too much. Thank fate... I finally Given this opportunity, I hope that after she learns about this, she can forgive me a little for the pain I have caused her."

Theresa lowered her gaze and looked at the table, not letting her unhappiness leak out to others.

She knew that Egglon's thoughts were very normal and inevitable; she also knew that choosing members of the Wittelsbach family to wear the Greek crown was the best choice for the current situation.

However, just because she knew this, she always felt a little unhappy in her heart.

She knew that although the lingering love after newly-married made the young man feel very happy, it still couldn't dispel the memories that had been lingering in her husband's heart.

Those touches from the past have been deeply ingrained in his heart, even if she feels upset in her heart, there is nothing she can do - who made that woman take care of him before they met? This is probably the helplessness of fate.

Fortunately, now that she has been permanently stayed in Vienna, she will be separated from her husband in the future, and I don't have to worry about her coming to hinder the happy life of myself and her husband.

In this case, of course I can be more generous.

I wish her a happier life in the future~ Giving her family a crown to compensate for her victory is enough to show her magnanimity.

Fortunately, the two people mentioned Sophie and changed the subject soon after. Teresa's inner torment did not last long.

"I'm very glad that Otto is not alone in Greece. He also has the Principality of Ioannina as an ally who always helps each other." King Ludwig offered a motion, "Your Highness, I have an idea—— "

From his tone and expression, Aigron felt a little ominous inexplicably.

"Just say it."

His Majesty the King smiled, and then pointed to his second son, Prince Otto, "Look, Otto and Grand Duchess Haidee are about the same age, it seems to be God's arrangement, what do you think about getting him engaged to Haidee? In this way, the two newly born countries will have a closer bond with each other and will be able to help each other in the future."

Aigron's shock only lasted for a moment, and he immediately understood the other party's intention.

Haiidee, as a ruler in name, has no real power, but a ruler is a ruler after all, and she has no siblings, so her children are the natural heirs.

If Prince Otto marries her and gives birth to an heir in the future, then this means that the Principality of Ioannina can be incorporated into the future Kingdom of Greece without bloodshed, further expanding the ruling territory of the Wittelsbach family.

The worst-case scenario can also be the Junhe model. Anyway, the family can further expand.

Huh, that's a pretty idea. But for Egron, although the Principality of Ioannina is not where he will stay forever, it is still his first real territory after all, and he is not willing to hand it over to others in the future—even if it is only in name.

Just as Aigron was about to politely refuse, Teresa suddenly spoke.

"Your Majesty, Haidee is still too young, it's too early to talk about this, and her previous experience has caused her to lack a lot of education, so it is really difficult for her to be qualified to talk about marriage with the oldest royal family in Europe, so … I think we can look at it and talk about it later.”
