Eagle’s Glory

"What?"

The news revealed by Agron shocked Edmond Dantès beyond measure.

He has always been very fond of Miss Agnes. He admires not only her skills, but also her character and demeanor. Therefore, it is difficult for him to accept the reality of being an enemy of Miss Agnes.

However, for Edmond Dantès, he is now a member of a group. His honor and future are engraved in this group, and His Majesty is the leader of the group, so His Majesty's assassination is an insult to him. He will never tolerate my greatest provocation and attack.

Even Miss Agnes, if she participates in this conspiracy, must pay the due price.

But deep down in his heart, he still didn't quite believe that Miss Agnes would do such a thing.

"Is Miss Agnes... also involved in the assassination plot?" He asked the young man in a low voice with a bit of luck, "Isn't it possible? I think... she is not interested in politics at all."

"There is currently no actual evidence to prove whether she was involved." Agron shook his head, and then replied, "But I think the same as you. Agnes is the kind of person who doesn't like to play tricks. If she wants to kill me, She would walk up to me and try to end my life with one sword, instead of going around in circles and letting her master come and kill me, no...she is not the kind of person who plays tricks."

Seeing what Aiglon said, Edmond Dantès also felt very satisfied and relieved. "I think so...but maybe her family is involved in this conspiracy."

He couldn't bear to be an enemy of Agnes, but he had no feelings for Agnes's father and brother, Edmond Dantès, so there was no need to speculate. "Duke Nordrian is a confidant of the false king. He has great motives to find Miss Agnes's teacher to assassinate you in order to please the king-"

Aigron thought about it and felt that this conjecture was reasonable, but deep down in his heart, he still had strong doubts.

"This is also possible, but... I still think that the mastermind behind her may be someone else. After all, if the false king wants to kill me, there are many other ways, and he may not think of assassination to solve the problem. And other enemies with ulterior motives may also want to kill me and frame the blame on the false king."

Edmund thought that was true.

"In short, Edmund, it is meaningless for us to speculate here now, and it will not lead to any results. I have entrusted it to you. After you go to Paris,

Use Bianca as a breakthrough point to investigate the truth of the assassination and find out the mastermind behind it. No matter who it is, I will make him pay the price he deserves. "As Aigron spoke, his expression began to become ferocious, and his tone became extremely fierce, "Although I seek the throne, I am fighting for my family openly, but in the end, someone secretly attacked me and almost killed me. Killed me! I must wash away this shame with my own hands! "

He has always been arrogant, and for more than a year, others have been submissive to him, which has further encouraged his arrogance. Because of this, he has become more and more angry about the assassination plot and must return for revenge.

"Okay, Your Majesty, I will definitely find out for you." Edmond Dantès accepted the order with enthusiasm.

After venting his anger, Aigron changed the topic and became pleasant again. "You have already been to Paris once. Although you didn't stay long, you must have understood the most basic things. I don't need to say anything more. There is only one thing I want to tell you -"

Edmond Dantès immediately sat upright and listened to His Majesty's instructions.

"You went to Paris as a noble, but I think your current title is Count of Monte Cristo, which is really inconvenient to use there. You need to change your identity." Aiglon expressed his thoughts, "A follow-up The Bonaparte family has absolutely nothing to do with the Principality of Ioannina."

In the original work "The Count of Monte Cristo", the Count of Monte Cristo used this title all the time when he came to Paris, and then used his rare spending money to arouse the curiosity and envy of the Parisian social circle. Among the high-class society He quickly gained a position that everyone looked up to.

However, this time is different from the original work. "Count of Monte Cristo" is no longer an obscure title. In the previous Greek wars, especially after the founding of the Principality of Ioannina, Edmund Dantes was After setting up a horse for Aigron, he is now also an important figure in the principality, and it is inevitable that he will also appear in the public eye.

His real name has never been used, so not many people may know it, but the title "Count of Monte Cristo" must have appeared in the files of various governments.

In other governments, I am afraid not many people care about the nobles of such an ordinary small country, but it is different in France. The government of the Kingdom of France must have been trying its best to pay attention to the situation of the Principality of Ioannina, so the Count of Monte Cristo must have It has been known to many people.

Under such circumstances, if a person came to Paris under the name "Count of Monte Cristo", I am afraid that what greeted him would not be the living room of an upper class society, but a prison cell.

Therefore, he cannot use this title to travel to Paris.

This indeed destroyed the sense of beauty in Aigron's heart, but the so-called "beauty" is certainly not as important as the safety of Edmond Dantès, so Aigron could only regretfully destroy the original work and let Edmond Dantès replace it. A different identity travels to Paris.

Edmond Dantès obviously understood Aiglon's concerns, so he didn't have any resistance - for him, the Count of Monte Cristo was just a foreign object, and there was no problem in keeping him in dust for the time being.

"So what identity do you think I should use?"

"You have to thank my mother for this -" Aigron smiled, and then explained to him, "My mother is the ruler of the Principality of Parma. She can legally create a series of documents and create a world that does not originally exist. People, and there are no flaws in the documents. My mother created an identity for me in order to help me before; but this time I stayed at her place while I was recovering from my injuries. After considering your situation, I asked her for help and issued certification documents for you.”

Then, he looked at Edmund again, "Edmund, from now on, you will be called Count Bellivet. You are a collateral member of a well-known local family, with a net worth of millions, and you came to Paris to have fun." Have fun and see the world - what do you think?"

Edmond Dantès was surprised and delighted to see the problem solved so easily.

"That's great, Your Majesty! I will act in accordance with the status you gave me."

After a pause, he whispered, "Thanks to Madam, I'm very grateful for the help she provided me."

Edmund felt that he should be grateful to Queen Louisa for her help, but he also knew that the relationship between His Majesty and his mother was relatively cold, and her current status was too embarrassing.

The Queen Mother? Definitely not, she is just the Archduchess of Austria.

So he just vaguely called Louisa "Mrs." and Aigron didn't pay attention to his title.

Having said this, Edmund suddenly thought of a very serious problem, and his face suddenly became ugly again.

"Your Majesty, you have indeed solved the biggest problem by giving me a new identity, but it has created another problem -" Edmond Dantès frowned, looking very embarrassed, "The last time I came to Paris, At that time, I had already used the pseudonym Count of Monte Cristo, and I had met Miss Agnes’s father and attended a banquet held by him. There were many people attending the banquet. I think many people already know I have taken the title Count of Monte Cristo—if they recognize me next time, they will probably think of something else.”

After hearing Edmund's words, Aigron couldn't help but frown.

"Why is it her again! She insists on causing trouble for me!".

"Miss Agnes also had good intentions at the time. She wanted me to have a foothold in Paris. If I could get the help of the Duke at that time, it would indeed be of great benefit to me. No one expected that things would develop like this. ." Edmund defended Agnes in a low voice.

Aigron also knew that the other party was right, so he could only sigh helplessly.

No matter what, the deal was done and he had no choice but to find a way to make up for it.

"Don't get involved with their family anymore, especially don't let the Duke see you again. He may have noticed something now. After all, with the name of Count of Monte Cristo, he may have known some inside information through his connections in the government." After thinking for a moment, Aigron expressed his opinion, "Also, you have to dress up a little and try not to let people recognize you. Fortunately, those guests only met you once, and time has passed. Years ago, they should have almost forgotten about it... As long as you live in seclusion and don't meet people easily, you probably won't be recognized."

Edmund himself thought so too.

He carefully recalled the scene at the Duke's banquet. He could no longer remember the faces and voices of the guests. Everyone was just a vague shadow. Correspondingly, the other guests probably felt the same way. his.

No, there was one exception among those guests.

The face of Fernand, or now Count Morcerf, was something Edmund could never forget.

A picture suddenly appeared in Edmund's mind - at that ball, the shameless man who stole his fiancée and framed him for twelve years in prison was wearing a brand-new uniform that day. With his medal pinned to his chest, he proudly walked through the Duke's banquet.

His face was filled with the happiness of rising rapidly, and his flattering smile was full of pride. Yes, how could he have no choice but to do it?

Relying on his escape from the battle with General Bourmont before the Battle of Waterloo, he gained Bourmont's favor, gained a backer in the army, and was steadily promoted; relying on his ability to speculate and flatter, he was also favored among the upper class. In order to gain favor, he could enter the Duke's living room as a distinguished guest, and he also pretended to be a pedigree, and obtained a title of "Earl" that was recognized by everyone; relying on deception and smooth talk, he made up the lie that he was dead, and then married his wife. Fiancée and gave birth to a child...

The person who harmed you the most not only did not receive retribution, but lived a very nourishing life. There is nothing more annoying in life than this.

When he thought of this and his face, the Count of Monte Cristo suddenly felt that his throat was blocked and his breathing became rapid, as if he was about to have an epileptic attack.

Anyone else would be frightened to see the usually calm Edmond Dantès turn into such a ghostly state. However, at this moment, Aiglon, who was standing in front of him, was almost the person who knew him best in the world.

"Don't be nervous, Edmund." Aigron raised his hand and patted Edmund's shoulder gently, "It's a good thing to have hatred in your heart. The anger of revenge will give us endless motivation, but hatred dominates the mind. That would be unwise, it would only hinder your revenge."

Amid Aigron's calm words, Edmond Dantès gradually came to his senses.

"Sorry... Your Majesty, I was so rude!" He apologized to Aiglon with some shame, "I just remembered that one of my biggest enemies met me at that banquet. Of course, the two of us I didn’t say hello, and I’m sure he didn’t recognize me, but if we meet next time, I think this will be a hidden danger after all.”

"If you still behave like this next time you see him, it won't be called a hidden danger, and everyone will notice your abnormality-" Aigron replied calmly.

Edmund lowered his head in shame, then gritted his teeth, "I will try to avoid him. If I really see him again, I will try to control myself, Your Majesty... It is not just hatred that supports me, but also hatred." With my loyalty to you and my unparalleled enthusiasm for your cause, I will not let hatred affect my service to you, please believe me.”

In fact, during that trip to Paris, Edmond Dantès not only met Fernand, but also met another of his enemies-Danglar, who has now become a well-known banker.

He was certain that Danglars must be much more sensitive to the "Count of Monte Cristo" because the "Count of Monte Cristo" found him that time and specifically sold him precious gems in exchange for a large sum of money.

For a banker, this kind of thing will never be forgotten.

Therefore, Edmund felt that for his own safety, he must try to stay away from these two enemies first, and no matter how much hatred accumulated in his heart, he must first put it aside.

——Anyway, as long as His Majesty's career is successful, he will have plenty of opportunities to settle the hatred that has accumulated for more than ten years.

"Okay, now that you know what you are doing, I can rest assured. Edmund, you have never let me down, and I think it will be the same this time." Seeing Edmund's reaction, Aigron was satisfied. He nodded.

Finally, he gave his last instruction, "After arriving in Paris, you can find a well-known banker named Jean-Antoine Ponceine. He relied on my uncle, Prince Lucien, to And according to my uncle, he has always been grateful, so maybe he will give us some help - Edmond, we need the help of people like this, the more the better. We need to take over the upper class of France and cleanse it. , weaken part of it, and make it work for us instead of destroying it.”
