Eagle’s Glory

Chapter 119: 7. The oath

After Aegron was settled, Queen Aotangsi returned to the Arennan Villa with her youngest son, Charlie.

Although her heart was numb, she maintained her composure on the surface.

"Mom, thank you for helping us." After returning to the living room, Charlie thanked her.

"You don't need to thank me, I'm just forced to be helpless." Queen Aotangsi replied, then pointed to the sofa next to her and motioned her son to sit down.

Charlie obeyed his mother's orders and sat down.

"My son, your audacity really makes my heart skip a beat. I don't know how it should end for you... But since things have come to this point, it's pointless for me to complain any more." Queen Aotangsi smiled bitterly, and then Ask your son again, "Tell me, what do you want out of it?"

"I want everything we've lost, Mom," Charlie answered.

"Then how much 'everything lost' must be recovered to be satisfied?" Queen Aotangsi asked back. "How much do you want to get out of it?"

"Mom, what do you mean?" Charlie seemed a little confused.

"I mean very clearly, are you fighting for the Bonaparte family, or for yourself?" Queen Autensee looked at her son seriously, "I watched you grow up since I was a child, don't try to deceive me, I can see it."

Charlie and his mother looked at each other for a moment, and after a moment of silence, he spoke again.

"It seems to me that the two are one, and without the name of the Bonaparte family I can't achieve anything, so I have to give everything I have to bring this family back to the throne. As for my personal What can be satisfied...Mom, at least I have to be the king of a country to be satisfied, of course, it doesn't have to be the Netherlands, other places are also fine."

"Then what is the most?" Queen Aotangsi still did not give up her questioning.

Louis hesitated for a while, then answered in a low voice to his mother.

"If anything goes wrong with Your Majesty, the head of the House of Bonaparte will be one of our brothers, and perhaps I will become Emperor of France because of this."

Queen Aotangsi's face suddenly turned pale, but she didn't seem surprised. She didn't speak for a while, just continued to stare at her son.

"Mom, what's the matter with you?" Charlie looked a little uncomfortable.

"You brought Aegron out. You packaged your ambitions as the honor of the family, and tricked him into abandoning everything to pursue a dangerous career, so...you have to be responsible." Queen Aotangsi finally broke Silent, he said to his son word by word, "He is the heir of the family. If the empire is restored, then he will be the emperor for granted. You must respect his status and obey his orders, and you must not take actions that endanger him. , and don't expect anything to happen to him!"

"I didn't mean that... Mom." Louie panicked, and quickly defended himself, "After all, this world is full of accidents, maybe Aigron will die before he can leave an heir, in that case I would Or Louis will have to take on the burden."

"If it is God who brings disaster, then I have nothing to say, but I will never allow you and your brother to fight against each other in the family for their own ambitions, we owe Napoleon enough, if it is not good for his son, That's even worse than a pig and a dog!"

Queen Aotangsi's tone suddenly increased, and she shouted to her son, "If you do this, I will never recognize your son again, and so will Louis!"

"Mom, you're thinking too much, I never thought about it." Charlie smiled, trying to ease the atmosphere.

"It's best if you don't, then you swear, in front of me, in front of him--" Queen Aotangsi raised her hand and pointed to the portrait of Napoleon on the wall, "Swear quickly and promise never to be disrespectful to him."

Seeing his mother with such a strict attitude, Charlie was obviously a little overwhelmed. He didn't understand what the mother saw and decided that he had something wrong.

"Answer me!" Queen Aotangsi urged again loudly.

After hesitating for a moment, in desperation, Charlie looked up at the portrait of Napoleon and left an oath.

"I swear, I will always respect His Majesty Napoleon II, obey His Majesty's orders, never disobey, and never do anything to harm His Majesty."

"Child, forgive your mother's harsh words to you, some terrible risks must be eliminated before they germinate." Queen Aotangsi smiled bitterly, stroked her son's hair, then tapped his forehead and shoulder with her finger, and stroked Signed a cross, "I will always remember your words, and if you still recognize me as a mother, you must also remember."

"Okay, Mom, take a rest too. You've been really tired these past two days." Seeing that he finally passed the test, Charlie was relieved and supported his mother's shoulder.

Aotangsi also really felt very tired. The changes and actions in the past two days had consumed her too much energy, and she just wanted to take a good rest.

"Help me back, I'm going to sleep."

===================================================== ====

When Queen Aotangsi woke up, it was the next morning. After she woke up, she sat up against the back of the bed and looked at the scenery outside the window.

The weather is very sunny today, and the view of the garden and the mountains outside the window is unobstructed. The open scene makes her nervous and tired.

For a moment, she suddenly felt that she had experienced a fantasy in the past few days, but nothing had actually happened.

However, her thoughts were quickly shattered, and a commotion from the gate caught her attention.

She got out of bed, looked out the window, and saw a group of men in uniform file in.

It's finally here... She sighed secretly in her heart.

Everything has to be faced in the end.

She settled down, changed her clothes, and walked out of the bedroom.

Then she came to the first floor and met this group of people in the living room.

She soothed the panicked maid, then stared at the group of men in uniform.

"Gentlemen, why are you rudely breaking into my home? Disturbing my peace?"

"I'm sorry to disturb you, ma'am." The leading middle-aged man took off his hat and paid tribute to the former queen. "Allow me to introduce, I'm Thurgau State Police Chief Austin Miller."

"Mr. Miller, it's a pleasure to meet you." Queen Aotangsi nodded coldly to him, "Is there anything you've come to see me for? I don't remember what I did to disturb the local order."

Austin Miller took a closer look at Queen O'Donnell, but saw nothing in her expression.

Then, he looked up and looked around again, and saw the portraits hanging on the wall.

"You really don't know, ma'am?" he couldn't help asking.

Queen Aotangsi didn't answer, just looked at him.

"Well, let me tell you—" the police chief sneered, "there is news from Austria, the king of Rome—no, it should be said that His Royal Highness Duke Reichstedt fled Vienna and disappeared, there is news Said he may have absconded to our country."

"God!" Queen Aotangsi exclaimed. "Why does this happen?"

The police chief, who had been watching her reaction, didn't see anything unusual, but of course he wouldn't stop there.

"Please allow me to search your house, ma'am." Although he said "please" on the surface, he didn't mean to wait for Queen Aotangsi to agree, but waved his hand directly.

And the police next to him also acted one after another, walking into various rooms and starting to search.

At this time, Charlie also came out of the room.

"Mom, what happened?" He looked at his mother innocently.

"This is my son." Queen Aotangsi quickly explained to the police chief.

The police chief took a careful look at the young teenager, and then asked the local police officer who brought him next to him.

After getting a confirmed reply, he finally relaxed a little.

"It is said that your son left Switzerland and has come back recently?" he then asked.

"He went to visit his father," Queen Autensee replied calmly. "Sir, there is no law that says that a child is not allowed to go to his father?"

The police chief frowned, then spoke again.

"Ma'am, I don't know if you were involved in this shocking incident. I hope it's better not, otherwise you will have to be punished together and be expelled from Switzerland."

"My current life is very peaceful and peaceful. I like the life here, and I hope to continue living like this, so I have no interest in participating in any conspiracy activities." Queen Aotangsi was **** for tat.

"Really? Madam, I'm not happy with my current job, but there are some things I have to do, please forgive me."

"I can understand you, please sit down, sir." Queen Aotangsi replied solemnly, then pointed to the sofa.

The police chief sat down and continued to let his men search the entire villa.

The policemen searched every corner carefully, and after about an hour or two, they returned to the chief of police and still found nothing.

"Now you should believe it? We don't know anything about what happened," Queen O'Donnell said to Commissioner Austin Miller.

"I can't believe it," the police chief replied with a wry smile. "We will continue to monitor the situation. If Duke Reichstedt is found to be in our country, then we must send him out. And you, I hope you can face up to your current situation and make the right choice. ."

"Mr. Director, I don't quite understand what you are talking about." Queen Aotangsi still looked at the other party calmly, "I am as surprised as you are about this matter."

Being rushed into the living room by a large group of people in uniform is indeed a very uncomfortable thing. If most people are not mentally prepared, their faces will even turn pale with fright, but Queen Aotangsi maintained her composure. Lose proper manners.

After all... She is someone who has dealt with the highest-ranking dignitaries on the European stage, and has seen the most turbulent chapters in history, so how could she be afraid of such a small scene?

"I have never been willing to embarrass a woman, let alone a distinguished lady like you. After you came here to take refuge, we have not disturbed your life so that you can be a guest of the Swiss Confederation. Live here."

The police chief's tone softened, and then looked at Queen Autensee earnestly, "However, in return, we also have the right to ask you to be considerate of our country's situation - Madam, Switzerland is a small country that has been involved in After entering the terrifying flames of war, he finally got out of the pool of blood, ushered in a day of peace, and obtained the hard-won status of neutrality.

Precisely because we know how precious all this is, we will do everything in our power to preserve our peace and not allow anyone to break it - Duke Leichstedt is not our welcome guest, if you are proven next to him What's the matter, then you will also be disqualified from being our friend, please keep that in mind. "

"I will remember." Queen Aotangsi nodded solemnly. "But don't forget that he is Napoleon's son, and also my closest relative. I don't want him to be caught by you. If he does come to Switzerland, I hope he is well."

"Frank answer." The police chief nodded with a smile, then stood up and bowed to the former queen, "Madam, then I hope the whole incident will not end in a tragedy, I am very happy to have the opportunity to visit you."

"Thank you, sir." Queen Aotangsi nodded to him, "You are much more polite than I thought, I understand your embarrassment, and if you need my help in the future, just tell me directly, I'll try my best to cooperate."

"I just hope these troubles will pass soon, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to rest for a long time!" The police chief complained, then turned around and strode out of the living room.

And his subordinates followed him out of the mansion, and then disappeared in the snow.

Seeing the backs of them leaving, Queen Aotangsi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mom, fortunately we acted quickly." Charlie also said happily.

"I'm glad it's still early, he didn't believe me." Queen Aotangsi replied coldly, "We've been living in a secluded place recently, and try not to go out."

"Of course I understand." Charlie nodded. "However, his performance is as we expected. The Swiss have no hatred for His Majesty, they just want peace, so as long as His Majesty doesn't make public appearances to break their peace, they don't want to make a move."

"That's what I said, but Agron has to be careful." Aotangsi frowned slightly, then sighed, "Also, you must remember your oath, I swear to God, if you break your oath, I will never forgive you."

"I'll remember, Mom," Charlie replied casually.

=================================================

Under the urgent transmission of official documents between countries, the news that "Duke Reichstedt pulled out of Vienna" spread like wildfire and spread all over Europe.

Whether it was the court, the government, or the streets, people gathered to talk about this sensational event.

As we all know, this is definitely not a cessation of one thing, on the contrary it will be a new beginning of a series of events. They are either excited or worried, and no one can say for sure what will happen next.

Even Switzerland, a small country surrounded by the Alps, was once surrounded by this noise and was in a rare state of tension.

However, with the passage of time, everything has been declared calm again, the waves that the boulders have thrown into the pond have disappeared, and people's tense nerves have slowly loosened up and returned to their ordinary daily life.

From winter to spring, everything recovers. Green replaces white and covers the ground. Lake Constance has also ushered in its most beautiful day of the year, and more tourists come from all over the world.

A spacious four-carriage stopped by the lake, and then several young men and women came out of the carriage, and stood by the lake embankment and looked at the beautiful scenery in the distance.

They were all dressed very delicately, and a young man and a woman led by them walked hand in hand by the lake.

Are they chatting and looking at each other, their faces are full of sweet smiles, it is obvious that this is a young noble couple on their wedding trip.

Behind them, there was a young girl who was holding a small parasol with satin lace, and followed leisurely, looking around the scenery curiously.

Because of the cold in early spring, she was wearing a thick woolen skirt, but she didn't look bloated because of her slim figure.

She had long blond hair, braided in a ponytail behind her head, her face was fair and beautiful, and her brown eyes looked around smartly, as if full of exuberant curiosity about everything around her.

And if you put aside the beauty and youthful vitality of the girl, the perceptive spectators can find that her movements are light and fast, and her steps are very accurate. With her exquisite dress, it is like dancing.

After chatting for a while, the couple in front found a place to stop.

The young man stood on the spot and looked at the surrounding scenery. After all, he used his fingers to compare the distance. Then he took out his painting tools from the servant next to him, and opened his easel to paint here.

The young lady stepped aside, so as not to interfere with her husband's painting skills.

She stepped back beside the girl and quietly looked at her husband who was about to swipe on the canvas, her eyes full of deep attachment.

The girl, on the other hand, couldn't calm down, and kept pacing beside her, looking at the surrounding scenery.

"Agnes, can't you rest for a while?" The little woman couldn't help complaining about the girl because her vision was affected, "Don't interfere with Edgar's thoughts."

"I'm so far away, how could I interfere with him?" the girl complained, seemingly aggrieved, "Alice, do you blame me for influencing you?"

Being confronted by her like this, Alice was ashamed and angry, and couldn't help but glared at the girl.

Agnes smiled so much that her eyes narrowed, with a look of smugness on her face. "Why are you so shy now?"

"I'm not shy." Her sister replied, then she smiled helplessly and looked at her sister.

"You'll have a day like this too, Agnes."
