Eagle’s Glory

"May God bless you."

Aunt's comfort and hug made Aegron feel a warmth from the bottom of his heart.

Although he has been separated from each other for more than ten years, there is still a family relationship between them after all.

He went all the way over mountains and mountains, fearing hunger and freezing, and endured so many hardships, but in the warm embrace of Queen Aotangsi, the cold and tiredness seemed to be swept away in an instant.

"Thank you," he said emotionally. "You have given me great relief that at least my family is on my side at this time."

At this moment, the maid brought the hastily made cakes to feed the young people, and Aigron called Chanel, who was waiting in the room outside, in.

"Your Majesty, it's a pleasure to meet you." As soon as Chanel came in, she respectfully saluted Queen Aotangsi, and then stood beside the dining table, her attitude was obviously a little timid, and she didn't dare to sit down.

In front of her are all members of the "royal family", how can she dare to make a half-point?

"This is...?" Queen Aotangsi looked at Chanel.

"She was my maid in Austria and the most staunch follower of the empire." Aigron replied, and then revealed Chanel's life experience in front of Queen Aotangsi and two cousins.

After listening to it, the people present immediately sighed at her full of ups and downs.

"What a poor child... The affairs of the adults make a child suffer!" Queen Aotangsi sighed, "Fortunately, I was rescued by my brother, otherwise I really don't know what will happen!"

Yes, when her aunt took Chanel out of France, she took in Prince Eugene, who took care of them in Bavaria. He was Napoleon's stepson and the brother of Princess Autensee.

Therefore, Chanel's respect for Aotangsi is not only because of her title, but also because she is the only younger sister of the prince.

"If His Highness hadn't taken us in, we would have died in a corner..." Chanel looked at Queen Aotangsi with tears in his eyes, "I will always be grateful for His Highness's kindness, precisely because of my gratitude. , so I swore a long time ago that I will be loyal to the Bonaparte family all my life, and my descendants will be the same, only in this way can I repay this kindness!"

Seeing Chanel's frantic expression, Queen Aotangsi froze for a moment, then gave a wry smile.

"Don't be so serious, it's just a little effort. Thousands of people died for our family, and we should make some compensation. It's good for you to be loyal to the Bonaparte family, but you can do what you can. Now, don't put too much burden on yourself..."

Then, she beckoned, "Come, sit down and eat with us, you must be very hungry."

"But... how is this good?" Chanel hesitated, "Your Highness and Your Majesty..."

"What Your Majesty! Is any of us really a big man now?" Aotangsi shook her head and interrupted Chanel, "Don't make it look like we're acting in a farce, we're already in exile. Now, he still has the style of Wang Sun Guizhou!"

"Okay, Chanel, sit down, don't go against the Queen's opinion." Aigron nodded with a smile, motioning her to sit down, "I said, no matter where I am, there will be a place for you."

Chanel was so moved that she could barely speak, she could only nod her head heavily, and then sat down.

"Thank you for giving me such an honor..."

After she sat down, the four young men began to eat, and Queen O'Donnell just watched them silently because she had already eaten dinner.

The hungry Aegron ate several cakes in one go, and his tired body was recharged with energy.

"Is it convenient for me to answer a few questions, Agron?" Queen Aotangsi asked suddenly after seeing that he was full. "Although I have been living in seclusion all these years, I have heard a lot of news about you, and I don't know which ones are true and which ones are false, so I hope to confirm from you."

"Just ask, I know all the answers." Aegron nodded immediately.

"What on earth did the Austrians do to you? I heard someone say they abused you, but then it doesn't seem like that..." Queen Autensee asked first.

"It depends on how you define abuse." Aigron thought for a while, then replied, "They didn't treat me badly in terms of living conditions, and they also provided me with corresponding educators according to the standards of royal family members, but corresponding I also lost my freedom of movement and was ordered to never again appear in front of the world in the name of the heir to the empire... In general, they need me to be a treasured toy, sometimes thrown out to scare people."

"It's a very vivid description..." Queen Aotangsi nodded, "Then... I read in the newspaper that you were going to propose to the daughter of Archduke Karl, and even said that the marriage was a foregone conclusion, no It will be officially announced today, is it true? To be honest, when I first saw this news, I was really happy for you for a long time."

This question suddenly made Aegron's expression unbearable, and the sweet cake in his mouth seemed to lose its taste immediately.

"It's true on the surface." After a moment of silence, he nodded, "But, I'm just using this to hide people's eyes and ears, and I don't really intend to propose. I admit it's too much, but sometimes I can only do some A matter of last resort."

After a pause, as if to excuse himself, he added, "Before fleeing, I left a letter, assuming all the responsibilities, and guaranteeing Teresa with my life as a guarantee. The purity of the princess herself. I expect this letter to be published soon as news of my escape spreads, as Archduke Karl desperately needs to clear his daughter's name."

"If that's the case, it might save face a bit, but this girl is still too pitiful." Queen Aotangsi said with some sympathy, "It seems that you really sacrificed a lot."

"...Yes, I sacrificed too many things." Aigron's expression became serious, he recalled his last night in Vienna, and his heart suddenly throbbed quietly, and he managed to maintain it. Superficial calm. "So I have to win big, and only then will I live up to all the sacrifices."

"Your Majesty, you must be able to do it." Chanel interjected excitedly, "Princess Teresa will also understand what you have done... You can't sacrifice the empire for her. Besides, you have left enough. There is room for her, and she will soon be able to find her own happiness again."

"Yeah, what is this? As long as His Majesty takes the throne again, wouldn't it be easy to find a princess to be the queen." Louis said nonchalantly. "The crown only needs to be worn on a princess' head. It doesn't matter who it is."

Listening to their words, Queen Aotangsi couldn't help sighing in her heart.

These young people really don't know how high the sky is! They regard what they are doing as a spectacular expedition and a fairy tale, but they don't know what the price will be, let alone what terrifying things stand in their way.

She saw with her own eyes hundreds of thousands of foreign troops stormed into Paris, and even Napoleon himself felt desperate at that scene. What could these children do?

She suppressed the annoyance in her heart, and then looked at the young man again.

"Then Aigron, what are you going to do with Austria next? After you escape, they will definitely go crazy and hunt you everywhere."

"I will make a statement, certainly not in Switzerland, but secretly sent to some newspapers in France and Germany, who will be ecstatic when they see my letter and take the risk of publishing it. When it comes out, it will be a big news that will shock the whole of Europe."

Under the watchful eyes of Aotangsi, Aigron stated his plans, "In the statement, I will state that I will take a long-term trip in Europe recently and bid farewell to Austria temporarily. And I am grateful to my grandfather for taking care of me all the time, I will also promise that I have a lot of love for Austria, where I have the best memories and best wishes, and will definitely go back to the place where I grew up after my trip...I will always respect the Austrian Emperor and him heirs, and gladly repay them."

His answer surprised Queen Aotangsi.

"You keep your stature very low."

"I only have so little resources now, what can I do if I don't judge the situation and lower my figure?" Aigron smiled and shrugged, "I don't think there is any point in being arrogant and arrogant, after all, even Napoleon used to be against the Republic. The special commissioner nodded and bowed..."

"Will the Austrians accept your statement?" Queen Autensee thought for a while before asking.

"I have been with Metternich and His Majesty the Emperor for eleven years. I have been observing them all the time, so I know them." Aigron laughed, "Please believe me, after they read the statement, the first At one point they would go into a rage and yell at me for being an ungrateful brat, but after a few minutes they would hesitate, and eventually they would stay silent, neither accepting nor disapproving."

"Why do you judge this way?" Aotangsi was a little puzzled.

"You should never forget that the two of them are the kind of people who are not influenced by emotions, and are very good at reconciling with the enemy - they and my father fought so hard that they even captured the capital twice, In the end, it was reconciled, and it was Metternich who took the initiative to please Napoleon and recommended him to marry his own princess." Aigron replied in a low voice, "They don't care about their faces, they know how to judge the situation, so even though they will be angry with me. It was furious, but they will weigh it after I take the initiative to signal a reconciliation."

After a pause, he continued, "Although they may not necessarily look down on me now, as long as I am not caught, they can only find a way to compromise with reality. As long as I can make achievements in the future, then Austria will need it sooner or later. One step down, so I leave a leeway now, it may be a lot easier for everyone to mend the relationship in the future."

This was indeed his plan.

For Aigron, his biggest opponent now is the Bourbon royal family in France. The positions of the two sides are close to incompatible, and there is basically no room for compromise; and in this case, the last thing he needs is to have a relationship with some other big country. A complete fallout, this is the basic driving force behind his quest for "understanding" from Austria.

He grew up with Metternich, and he had already seen clearly that the other party was an old connoisseur who turned his hands for the clouds and covered his hands for the rain. Lose your mind about this?

Therefore, in the end, the two sides will compromise, as long as he can come up with enough trade goods.

Now that he is softening his body, he is preparing for the future compromise between the two sides, and Metternich will definitely not let this signal go.

Of course, they can't pull their faces down and say they're doing the right thing, they're really just traveling alone, so Aegron decides that they'll just keep a graceful silence, not make any judgments on the facts, and wait for the situation to develop before reacting .

Aegron told his plans to the people present.

Not only Chanel, Louis, Charlie and the other young people listened with great interest, but even Queen Autons was fascinated by it.

After he finished speaking, Queen Aotangsi's eyes changed a bit when she looked at the young man.

She originally thought that he was just blindly following her son to escape with a **** arrogance and impulse, but she didn't expect that on the first night of escaping to Switzerland, he had already planned what to do next.

And from her point of view, the whole way of handling it is also decent and appropriate.

"Agron, I didn't expect you to think about so many things," she said involuntarily. "Looks like you're growing faster than everyone else."

"I had to spend my childhood learning these things." Aegron replied with a wry smile.

"Alright then... Since you already have a plan, I won't ask any further questions, I can only wish you all the best..." Aotangsi nodded lightly, "Are you almost full? Rest early. "

It was late and she was exhausted. "We will see you tomorrow, I will find a way to arrange a safe hiding place for you, don't be afraid, at least for a short time, you can be safe in Switzerland..."

"This has helped me a lot." Aegron stood up and extended his hand to Queen Aotangsi to express his gratitude.

Looking at the handsome young man in front of him, feeling the vitality surging in him, Aotangsi's eyes suddenly became a little dazed.

Yes, time already belongs to their younger generation.

As for my generation, I can only wait silently to leave the stage, and all I can do is to try my best to help these children before leaving the stage.

In 1814, her mother passed away; in 1821, her stepfather passed away; in 1824, her own brother also passed away... The once familiar relatives bid farewell to the world one by one, and she did not know when it would take another turn. to herself, but she was not afraid of that day.

She reached out and took the young man's hand.

"Do you need financial support?" Then, she asked the young man tiredly.

Aegron was shocked for a while. He didn't expect that he hadn't mentioned the word money, and Queen Aotangsi took the initiative to say it.

"Of course I need it." But he didn't miss the opportunity, and nodded immediately, "If you're willing to sponsor..."

"Of course I am happy to sponsor the cause of my son and our great monarch." Queen O'Donnell smiled slightly. "Besides, I'm old anyway, so what's the use of saving money? Anyway, I have to give it to my children, and it's the same if I give it earlier."

Although she said so, from her eyes, Aigron could see that she did not believe that she could succeed.

She was just there to help her son and nephew.

But because of this, it seems more valuable.

"One-tenth, I want one-tenth, okay?" After a moment of silence, he blurted out.
