Eagle’s Glory

Forty-two, the truth

【The Glory of the Young Eagle】 【】

"Before I go back to France this time, I have to prepare a birthday gift for her."

Aiglon said it unintentionally, but it caught Teresa's attention.

Although she had never met Lady Alice in person, she had heard of her existence many times from her husband and others around her, and when these people mentioned Alice, they all spoke highly of her.

She is Agnes's biological sister, and she must be so respected by Agnes, so there must be something special about her.

Although Teresa was very disgusted with Edgar, this disgust did not extend to Mrs. Alice. On the contrary, she was a little curious and even sympathetic - such an outstanding girl was unfortunate enough to meet an unkind person. If you have such a husband, you will suffer a lot in the future...

It was precisely because of the sympathy in her heart that her attitude softened a lot.

"Yes, I think so too." She nodded slightly, "Since you once had a relationship with Mrs. Alice and accepted her request to give her daughter a name, then this also means that we You are destined to have this child, and maybe her birth will also bring you good luck."

"There seems to be no problem in saying that." Aigron immediately laughed, "Ever since I gave her a name and she was born, my fortune has been rising all the way, and finally reached where I am today. She is a good omen star, which indicates that Such good luck has come, and now I feel a little regretful that I didn't propose to be her godfather! In this case, I may have had more good luck."

Aigron's joke made the other two people laugh, especially the Marquis of Treville. He was not willing to let go of this opportunity to please his benefactor, "Your Majesty, you don't have this idea now." Chi, if you are willing, I will let you and Her Majesty the Queen be his godfather and godmother! This must be her lifetime honor."

"Then it's better not to use it." Before Aigron could speak, Teresa politely rejected the Marquis' proposal, "We are still very young now, and our own children have not even been born. It is not good to be someone else's godmother rashly. .”

Just kidding, Teresa holds a grudge against Edgar so much that she doesn’t want to be related to this guy.

Perhaps because she felt that her reason was untenable, Theresa immediately changed the subject, "The Treville family is a famous family in the past, and Mrs. Alice is also a famous lady. It is natural that Miss Xia Lu will be a concurrently married woman in the future. A girl with beauty and character will definitely become the most dazzling pearl in Paris."

"You're flattered." The Marquis of Treville knowingly did not continue his request, but expressed his modesty indifferently.

In his heart, he was a little angry. It didn't matter to him that others looked down on him and his son, but he couldn't bear to look down on his precious granddaughter in person.

But now that he was under the roof, he certainly couldn't fall out with Theresa in person. He just swore secretly in his heart that he would educate Xia Lu well in the future, let his granddaughter live up to her expectations, and make Queen Theresa look down upon her today. Return the number.

Teresa couldn't feel the anger in the general's heart at this moment, and she looked at Aigron again, "Dear, what gift do you think we should give better?"

This question was difficult for Aigron.

Theoretically speaking, he still has a lot of valuable jewelry in his hand. Giving away any piece will make others envious and it will never be rude; but he has to select one piece carefully, otherwise it will not reflect well if he picks one piece at random. Show his kindness and win over Alice and the entire Treville family.

"How about we give her a gem pendant?" After thinking for a moment,

Aigron suggested, "Put our two initials on it as our blessing to her and protect her healthy growth."

"Okay!" Of course Theresa had no need to object, so she agreed directly.

She was also responsible for the safekeeping of Aigron's jewelry and made a detailed list. Naturally, she knew every piece of jewelry very well, even better than Aigron himself. She immediately filtered it through her mind and selected her. The one that I think is most suitable.

"We have a very nice ruby ​​pendant. The color red means enthusiasm and hope, which is suitable for children. However, the chain of the pendant needs to be replaced with a new one and then engraved with our names and blessings... When I return to Ioannina I'll just tell people to make it quickly, and it should be delivered to Paris before Xia Lu's birthday."

Aiglon looked at the Marquis, as if asking his opinion.

For Marquis Treville, it was already an honor for Xia Lu to receive a gift from the Lord. He didn't have the courage to choose, so he just nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, let's give this gift to Xia Lu." Aigron finally made the decision.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Our family will always remember this kindness." The Marquis apologized to Aiglon with tears in his eyes - this time, his gratitude was somewhat sincere. "I will let Xia Lu wear this pendant all the time. With your blessing, she will grow up healthily and safely."

"It's just a small gift, don't take it so seriously." Aigron smiled and spread his hands, "Compared to what you have given to our Bonaparte family, this gift is really not worth mentioning. I hope you can continue to do so in the future. Serve us—"

Precisely because of Xia Lu's interlude, the atmosphere of this dinner became more harmonious, and it could be said that the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves. It was not until late at night that Aigron asked Andre Davout to take the Marquis of Treville and leave Ning. Finburg Palace, staying overnight in the surrounding hotels - after all, Marquis Treville has a special status and left the country under an assumed name. Aigron did not want to cause trouble for the Treville family.

In the next few days, Aiglon no longer summoned the Marquis, but secretly contacted the Marquis through Andre Davout, who was also handling the remaining affairs.

He wrote to the Greek side, informing him of his decision to let Prince Otto of the Wittelsbach family inherit the Greek throne, so that they could prepare to welcome the king and the ensuing enthronement ceremony; and, he also asked Pano in the letter The two brothers must establish a good relationship with King Otto and his Bavarian advisors in the future and help them manage the entire country - although he also knows that this kind of political contradiction cannot be solved with just one or two letters. But it's always good to get a vaccination.

After handling the affairs at hand, Aigron proposed to meet King Ludwig I and then bid him farewell.

The king was not surprised after hearing this, nor did he feel very sorry, but he followed etiquette and acted as if he was very surprised and reluctant to leave.

"My friend, have you grown tired of our country so quickly? We would like to entertain you some more."

King Ludwig has always been worried that because of Aigron's identity, staying in Bavaria for a long time will cause the relationship between Bavaria and the Kingdom of France to become sharply antagonistic. However, Aigron secretly met anonymous supporters who came from France, which made it even more difficult. This aggravated his worries, and now that he saw Aigron leaving on his own initiative, he was naturally relieved.

"Your Majesty, I like your country and your palace very much. Living here, I received courtesy that I had never expected before, which made me want to leave..." Aiglon also followed the etiquette and said some polite words, " If I had a choice, I would of course be willing to continue to be your guest. Unfortunately, as you know, I am a busy person and there are too many things to do. Reality does not allow me to delay too much in my comfort. time."

"Hey, we are all unlucky ones who can't help ourselves." The king sighed half-truthfully, and then put his arm around Aiglon's shoulders in a friendly way, "I can understand your difficulties, after all, we all shoulder too many responsibilities. and expectations, cannot allow us to escape! In this case, I will no longer force you to stay, I wish you a good journey - if you have free time in the future, you can also visit us again, King Wittelsbach Our door will always be open to you..."

"Thank you - I will always remember your generosity and enthusiasm." Aigron thanked him again.

Originally, Aigron thought that the polite words between the two people would end at this point, and they would wave goodbye. However, what he didn't expect was that His Majesty the King seemed to have something else on his mind, and looked like he was hesitant to speak.

"Your Majesty, do you have anything else to tell me?" Out of curiosity, Aigron couldn't help but ask.

"It's not a big deal -" His Majesty the King shook his head, and then looked at Aigron curiously, "Duke, there is something I have been holding on to for a long time, just because of etiquette and Princess Theresa's face. So I haven’t asked. Since we are about to say goodbye today, and I don’t know when we will see each other again in the future, I think it’s better to just ask, so as not to leave any doubts in my heart..."

After hearing these words, Aigron roughly guessed what question the king was going to ask.

Sure enough, the king no longer hesitated and asked the question, "What is your relationship with my sister, Princess Sophie? I have heard some rumors, and judging from the harsh attitude of the Austrian royal family towards her after you escaped, , it should be something..."

Next, he looked at Aiglon with an inquiring, even teasing look, waiting for his answer.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Aigron's face, and only then did he realize that although King Ludwig I in front of him looked enthusiastic and even a little funny, he was a king after all, and he had a national intelligence network.

More importantly, he was Sophie's brother, and it was too easy for him to want to know something.

Now that he was asked face to face, Aigron felt that there was no need to dodge anymore.

"I...I do have an affair with her." He pondered for a moment and then answered.

"Oh, it's true." The king was not surprised, but nodded understandingly, and then he patted Aigron on the shoulder, "It's not easy for you two."

The king himself was a romantic, and of course he would not be offended by such a romantic affair. Aiglon also knew this - precisely because he knew it, he dared to admit it to his face.

However, a strange and dangerous idea suddenly flashed in Aigron's mind - why not tell him a more important and secret part of the plot?

Logically speaking, no one else should know about this matter. It is a secret between him and the Austrian royal family, but if the Bavarian royal family knows about it, there seems to be no problem - at worst, for the sake of the face of their own family. , the king will not publicize it everywhere; and in the best case scenario, he may be able to find some help for Sophie and Crystal.

Since you can definitely make money without losing money, why not give it a try?

Anyway, he had already made up his mind to make Crystal his illegitimate daughter in the future. In this case, there would be no problem in finding a kinship for Crystal from her mother's family - sooner or later they would be together anyway. It’s something to know.

"As of now, our affair has ended, but our love for each other has become an eternal witness." Aigron told the king in a low voice, "I only learned about it afterwards. Her name is Ke." Listel.”

Aiglon's tone was calm, but it sounded like thunder to the king.

What shocked him was not their affair, but the fact that they had gone to this point despite everything.

"You... you are so careless!" After a moment, he came out of the shock, and then asked loudly, "It's just for fun, how can you save everyone's face by causing such a thing? No wonder... No wonder old Emperor Franz is so angry."

"I don't think he's that angry. He's just angry that I dared to reject his favor and run away from him." Aiglon replied with a hint of acrimony.

Then, he sighed again, "In short, what happened has already happened, and it's too late to regret it. When I learned that everything was irreversible, I could only watch the mother and daughter suffer... I felt very uncomfortable, but I can't find anyone to talk to, I can only keep it in my heart. Your Majesty, today I can finally tell others, and I feel a lot better."

However, His Majesty the King did not show much sign of "feeling well". He looked at Aigron with a strange expression, not showing much joy or anger.

Although Aigron knew this was impossible, he suddenly subconsciously worried that King Ludwig Long Yan would be furious, and then waved his hand to order the axemen lying in wait to cut the little thief who had "ruined his own family" into pieces.

To his surprise, the king actually raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

And just a moment later, the tassel on his back was slowly lifting.

Hey, did you really ambush the Axeman? What's going on? It's just a romantic affair. Why are you reacting so violently? Haven't you done it many times yourself?

For a moment, Aigron was shocked at first, and then his blood flow accelerated immediately. His muscles suddenly tightened, ready to attack on the spot and hold the king hostage. This was not his boast, this romantic king was already middle-aged and bloated. It seems that he has not been trained. Aigron can hit several of them at his own discretion, and he can hold them hostage as long as he uses his hands easily.

As long as the king is in hand, he believes that no one will dare to greet him with knives or guns. In this case, he can think about how to take Teresa and her men away.

But while he was thinking wildly, he keenly sensed that there was only one person behind the tassel.

"Your Highness Maria?" He saw the person clearly and then asked in shock.
