Eagle’s Glory

[...Oh, I accidentally typed the chapter number wrong again...Sorry]

"Hopefully she's out of the shadows. I'll remember what I promised."

After Theresa heard these words, although her expression did not change, she couldn't help but feel a little sad in her heart.

Although Aigron didn't say it clearly, she certainly knew what "previous promise" meant.

Because he knew it so clearly, the delicious broth in his mouth seemed to have lost its taste for a while.

But Teresa soon swallowed the broth as if nothing happened, and then nodded calmly to her husband.

"Okay, if I have the chance, I will convey these words to Her Highness Sophie... I hope she can also get some comfort from them."

Theresa didn't want to quarrel with her husband over some old things, and she didn't want Sophie and Crystal to become a stumbling block in their marriage. Although Sophie left her with only bad memories, for her, showing some compassion to Sophie appropriately would make herself appear more generous. The past things are in the past, and there is no need to worry about it anymore. Minded.

Because of this idea, she suggested more gently, "Also, if you want to write a letter to her, I can also deliver it to you... Don't worry, Your Highness, I won't open it and read it."

"Thank you, Teresa -" Agron shook his head, "But no, I think with her current situation, if I show too much enthusiasm towards her, it will be detrimental to her. My grandfather I will hate her even more because of this... I have already caused her too much trouble, and the only thing I can do for her now is to consciously disappear from her life and bless her with infinite good intentions."

Teresa was moved and relieved to hear these words. She felt that His Highness had finally left behind the burden of the past. How had she ever thought that her husband gave up this precious opportunity just because he had other agendas?

Because of Aigron's statement, Theresa's mood became very happy, and the atmosphere between the two of them became more harmonious, and they ended the dinner talking and laughing.

After dinner, Chanel helped Theresa back to the bedroom to rest, while Aigron came to the study, preparing to complete the final paperwork for the day.

But just as he picked up the document, the door was gently knocked again.

"Your Majesty..." Chanel's voice rang out.

"Chanel? Come in!" Aigron heard that it was Chanel.

So she was let in immediately.

Chanel walked in slowly, her skirt swaying slightly but not making any sound. This girl who had been serving others had long been accustomed to erasing her own sense of existence.

However, she will always have a place in Aigron's heart and cannot be forgotten.

"Chanel, what's the matter?" Aigron asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I really belong to you." Chanel playfully winked her left eye, seeming to be praising Aiglon.

Chanel, who was serving the meal next to her, didn't show off, but she heard everything about the conversation between Agron and Theresa. Compared to Theresa, who knew nothing about it, she actually knew the inside story. , so I almost laughed out loud in my heart just now.

"What? Do you want to ridicule me?" Aigron asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, how dare I ridicule you? To me, everything you do is right." Chanel shook her head slyly, her eyebrows full of playfulness, "I was just thinking, although Your Highness Theresa is not What tasks will I get from you, but as your trusted maid, I may get some instructions from you, so I ran over here to save you from taking the trouble to summon me... After all, if Your Highness Theresa goes to Austria If so, it’s natural for me to accompany her, right?”

Aigron couldn't help but smile in his heart.

As expected of Chanel, she was almost completely in tune with his ideas.

He and Chanel have been together for so long, and have shared almost all secrets with each other. In theory, Chanel even knows every private part of his life better than Theresa and Sophie. This not only builds an incomparable trust between them and dependence, and even formed a spiritual tacit understanding unconsciously.

Before Aiglon gave the order, Chanel had already guessed what he wanted to do, so he took the initiative to run over and wait for his instructions.

"Chanel, you are really... overly enthusiastic!" He couldn't help but raise his hand and scratched Chanel's nose, laughing like two friends of the same age.

After laughing for a while, he nodded again, "Well, originally I planned to tell you after I was sure that Teresa could make the trip, but since you have come running over, let me tell you - I will Write a letter and ask someone to find a way to deliver it to Her Royal Highness Sophie. Please also tell her to be patient and wait for me. The opportunity for us to change our destiny will come soon... She'd better take care of her health now. Good, so I don’t have to worry.”

"Yeah, yeah!" Chanel nodded repeatedly, "Is there more?"

"If you have the chance, please help me meet with Crystal and see how she is doing now. However, this is not mandatory. You can do it at your own discretion." Aigron added.

"I understand, Your Majesty! I will definitely try my best!" Chanel immediately agreed, "According to my guess, although His Majesty the Emperor will not allow His Highness Sophie to take care of this child personally, he should not be so ruthless as to not allow her to take care of her. Visiting, so... there should be a chance, right?"

Aigron thought so too, but of course he couldn't say these words in front of Theresa.

"It's too early to think about this now, let's try to make this trip come true first!" He shrugged, "Anyway, it would be a good thing for Theresa if she could go home..."

"What Your Highness wants most is to stay by your side. It's good to return to your hometown, but without your company, she will definitely worry about you without your company. She will be restless and want to leave as soon as possible. I'll meet you at home..." Chanel replied. "No matter how warm my mother's home is, for Your Highness, your side is my real home."

Chanel said this in an understatement, but Egron couldn't help but feel a little ashamed after hearing this - because he knew that this would definitely be the case.

Doesn’t this make you look even more excessive? He looked away guiltily.

"Oh my, why is your majesty silent?" Chanel asked narrowly, "Do you feel that you have done something bad again and are you uneasy?"

Aigron was embarrassed again. He found that although Chanel took good care of him as always, he seemed to be a little more lively and joked more recently.

This is a good thing. It shows that after getting along with herself for a long time, Chanel, who was originally bitter and resentful and walking on thin ice, gradually opened her heart, relieved the pressure in her heart, and became more like a girl.

However, the side effect was that he became the target of her complaints from time to time - the worst part was that every time her complaints hit the point, leaving him unable to dodge.

He didn't want to tell lies either - it wasn't that he couldn't deceive Chanel. With Chanel's innocence and loyalty, he could fool her with just a few lies; he just didn't want to wear a disguise when facing Chanel. Mask, that's so boring.

In front of everyone, he plays the role he wants to play, but when a person is tired of acting, he needs a caring person. And Chanel is the most suitable person in his mind. Someone who holds such an important responsibility.

In order to prevent Chanel from continuing to complain about him, he deliberately pretended to be angry.

"Chanel, you are speaking more and more inappropriately now! It seems that I usually indulge you too much! I should really teach you a lesson!"

Although he said it in a nasty way, he actually took Chanel into his arms and kissed her on the lips to prevent her from talking too much.

Chanel didn't resist at all, she smiled coquettishly and threw herself into the young man's arms, letting him control her.

Both of them were soon immersed in the whirlpool of confusion and infatuation, but Aigron had no further plans. After all, he had just been moved by Teresa, and he really had no interest in doing anything more at this time.

After a moment, the two people's lips and tongues separated again. Aigron's expression was normal, but Chanel's face was already covered with blush.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry...please forgive me for being disrespectful just now." She apologized to Aigron pitifully, but she didn't seem to be very sorry.

"Well, since you have served me well all this time, I will forgive you for now. I hope you will remember the lesson." Aigron also replied in a fake tone.

After the two people finished speaking, they smiled knowingly, and they both enjoyed this kind of game.

After laughing for a while, Chanel spoke again, "Your Majesty, I feel so uncomfortable when I think of being separated from you for another period of time... I hope this is the last time. I want to be by your side and take care of you forever. You, until the day I die of old age.”

Aigron didn't answer because he didn't know what would happen in the future and whether there would be any other differences.

But he knew that no matter what, he wanted Chanel to follow him, so that the past and the joy of getting along with her today could always be tasted. This had become an indispensable part of his life.

"Chanel, I thank fate for bringing you to me. Maybe it has given me too many devastations and blows before, but when I think that it has given me such a gift to compensate me, I feel calmer... We have all been there. We have lost so much, but we will create more to remember each other.”

"Your Majesty..." Chanel closed her eyes, seeming to enjoy the romance at the moment, "No matter how many titles you give me in the future, I will never be able to get rid of the mark of my birth. No one will think that I am so noble. I don’t care whether I am noble or not. Because these words you said to me were once only said to the most noble princesses in the empire, but I am fortunate to be able to receive them, and you said them sincerely... I have this Warmth, in my heart, I am already the noblest person. Your Majesty, I am noble because of you."

"Chanel, you are becoming more eloquent!" Aiglon was slightly surprised by Chanel's words.

"After staying with you for a long time, I will always learn a lot. Don't forget how many manuscripts I have copied for you, Your Majesty..." Chanel blinked her watery eyes and looked deeply at the young man. People, "If I continue, maybe I can become a poet in the future~!"

"Hahahaha..." Aigron laughed, "Then I am willing to put a laurel crown on you with my own hands!"

The two were affectionate again, but they did not cross the line. Late at night, Chanel reluctantly left, leaving Aiglon to continue his previous work.

At this time, everything was silent, but Aigron was very excited because of the tenderness just now, and his attention became more concentrated.

He opened the letters sent from France, which were the latest ones, including a new report written by Edmond Dantès.

This was naturally what Aigron valued most at the moment, so he took it apart directly.

And next, he couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

In this letter, Edmond Dantès described in detail how he and the Marquis of Treville visited Marshal Soult. He wrote everything in great detail, especially what the Marshal said when he led the two of them to visit the coal mine. What he said was recorded almost word for word and presented to him for reading.

Aigron couldn't help but feel more and more excited.

After all, that was Marshal Sirte! Now the soldier with the highest military exploits and the most seniority in the French army is his main target of recruitment!

If he could persuade the marshal to stand on his side, there would be no doubt that he would be more certain about major events. Although he could not say that he could sit back and relax, at least he would have important weight.

Of course, Aiglon also knew that the marshal was ambitious and would not automatically succumb to his side just because he was Bonaparte's heir. Instead, he would wait for a price and select the one with the highest bid from among the various forces. , and the one with the greatest hope of success - this is also something proven by history.

Aigron carefully read Edmond Dantès's description in the letter, feeling emotional and surprised at the same time.

I feel sad because the marshal actually takes coal mines as his pleasure, which is really a bit humiliating.

He said he was surprised because he did not expect that Marshal Soult was forced to join the industry because he was unemployed at home. However, he unexpectedly learned to look at problems from the perspective of an industrialist instead of a soldier.

He kept saying that "the future era belongs to machines" and "if we cannot defeat the British in industry, no matter how many troops we have, we will still be defeated." This is almost something that has been proven by history.

At present, the Industrial Revolution is already in full swing on the British Isles, and has rapidly increased Britain's national power. In a few years, it will enter the so-called prosperous age of the British Empire.

The Empire on which the Sun Never Sets had an overwhelming advantage in national power over all other countries. Although this period of time was not long, it was enough to impress everyone.

He knew all this, so he not only wanted to take back the empire, but also wanted his empire to ride on this trend and embrace the first industrial revolution as a leader, at least to keep pace with Britain.

And now he knew that this vision and sense of urgency were not unique to him. Although there were people who could not predict history, they had enough wisdom and vision to see the future trend. He was by no means alone!

So, Marshal Sirte, let’s join hands!
