Eagle’s Glory

Just as Teresa was meeting Letizia, Aigron, on the outskirts of Rome, was also thinking about how to meet her grandmother.

Unlike Teresa, of course he didn't dare to walk directly to his grandmother's house by himself, so he first found a hotel outside Rome and stayed under a pseudonym.

After staying, he began to inquire about the news and watched the wind. He soon found that the atmosphere in the city of Rome was not tense. Obviously, the administrators of the papal kingdom did not receive the news that the king of Rome had come to Rome.

The previous news that the "King of Rome escaped from Vienna" caused a stir in the city of Rome, but after a few months, it has quickly returned to peace.

But even so, Aegron still did not dare to take it lightly. He knew that her grandmother's identity was too special. After he was free, her grandmother would definitely attract the attention of the outside world.

In addition, the Bonaparte Palace where Empress Dowager Letizia lived was right next to Piazza Venezia in the center of Rome. It would be too dazzling for him to swagger over, so he gave up the idea of ​​visiting directly.

Therefore, he can only choose to pass the message to his grandmother first, and then choose an opportunity for the two grandparents to meet.

Of course, there is only one candidate for this person to deliver the news - Chanel.

Although Chanel ran out of Vienna with him, the details of his escape have not been announced by Austrian officials, so at least Chanel has not appeared in people's field of vision for now - which means that Chanel is even swaggering. Appear in the city of Rome, it will not attract attention.

Moreover, she is a young girl, and accordingly, she will not be particularly suspicious. Even if there is an accident, Aigron believes that she will keep her secret and will never reveal her secrets.

So, after settling in, Aigron assigned this task to Chanel.

As for himself, he lurked in the hotel with the other people who came with him, and waited for Chanel to come back before deciding what to do next.

For being able to see Her Majesty the Empress Dowager, Chanel was of course very honored and excited, and she took up this task out of sheer joy.

"Your Majesty, I'll go first. You take care here, I'll be back soon." Chanel said goodbye to Aegron.

"Well, I'm waiting for your good news." Aigron smiled and waved to Chanel, wishing her all the best, "By the way, when you see my grandmother, you don't have to be too respectful and reserved, just try to be as peaceful as possible. , otherwise I'm afraid she's a little uncomfortable, she's never been very fond of putting on airs."

Chanel did not agree with his opinion, "No matter how easy-going Her Majesty the Queen Mother is, she is your grandmother, the eldest member of the Bonaparte family, I should show her due respect... "

"Okay..." Aegron reluctantly spread his hands, "then do what you want, but remember to tell her that I need her and my uncle's help very much, and ask them to treat me for the sake of blood. This distressed grandson lends a helping hand."

This is not just casual talk, in fact, he really hopes to get the help of two old people.

Although Letizia doesn't put on airs, after all, she has really been the empress dowager and has received a lot of gifts from her son, so she has accumulated a lot of wealth - and, after the fall of the empire, although she came to Rome She has lived a reclusive life, but she is quite business-minded. She has made many shrewd investments with her accumulated wealth, and has added a lot of value to her wealth, so Letizia must have a huge amount of money now. wealth.

Although Aegron dug a treasure, but for him who is ready to do a big business, the more money the better, especially if he wants to build an army, the capital consumption is simply astronomical - this is also It means that his thirst for money is almost endless.

Now that he has received a sponsorship from Aunt Aotangsi, Aigron naturally wants to get a bigger investment from his grandmother.

Aigron is the heir to the Bonaparte royal family, the direct grandson of Letizia. Even though the empire has now perished, he believes that his position in his grandmother's heart is absolutely extraordinary.

Back then, Letizia got so many blessings from Napoleon, but now she is in trouble, isn't it justifiable to ask her grandma for some money to tide over the difficulties?

In addition to money, he has a more important goal that needs to be accomplished with the help of his grandmother-he came to Rome this time to open up the relationship within the Holy See, and the first step requires a trusted and well-connected middleman.

Letizia and her brother, Cardinal Joseph Fish, are just the right candidates.

Although Napoleon and the Pope had a falling out, Letizia was still recognized by the church because of her piety and kindness to the church. Otherwise, the church would not have taken her back to Rome. Among the high-level church leaders today, there are many People have also been favored by her back then; as for Cardinal Fish, he was even more well-connected in the church. With their help, it would of course be much easier for Aegron to contact the top of the church.

After contacting the person, Aigron took out Father Faria's letter, and then opened the way with jewelry and money. He believed that he would definitely open the door of the Vatican - although he has not yet been able to go in publicly.

All these plans now fall on Chanel, and Aegron can only count on her to live up to her mission and contact her grandmother as soon as possible.

At this time, Chanel, with the excitement of shouldering a heavy responsibility, set foot on the road to the city of Rome.

What kind of honor is this to be able to meet the former Queen Mother? If she can get a few words of praise from her, it will be an unforgettable honor in her life.

The beautiful or dilapidated buildings in the city of Rome swept past the car window, but she didn't realize it, and she just thought about the next audience.

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

At this moment, Letizia was talking to Teresa.

After her initial emotions were vented, Teresa had stopped crying, but she looked so pitiful with tears in her eyes, and the old woman's heart became more and more inclined towards her.

"Hey! It's already a blessing from God to be able to get your heart, but he's unwilling to be satisfied. He insists on causing trouble for everyone. This is really worrying!" She couldn't help but sighed again .

"Your Highness has great ambitions, this is something you should be pleased with." Teresa replied softly, "I have never hated His Highness's choice until today. Maybe Austria really can't tolerate him, and he can't accept being the Emperor of Habsburg. After the courtier has finished his life, he would rather take risks and find his own glory... Although I am a victim, I must say that I am happy to see His Highness rebel against fate and fight for his ideals. Maybe the result may not be successful. But the brilliance that bloomed in the struggle against fate was enough to make me dazzled and fascinated, and I could never find this energy in other peers."

"It's such a blessing that you can speak for him like this..." Letizia was both relieved and moved, "Oh, I don't know what's going on with my children and grandchildren, why are they all uneasy? , desperately wanting to take risks and do things that I could not have done... Forget it, I've grown so old anyway, I couldn't control them before, and I can't control them now, and I don't bother to worry about it anymore, but it's you, Girl, what are you going to do in the future?"

"I have already said that I will fulfill the engagement..." Teresa lowered her head shyly, but answered resolutely, "God has made such an arrangement, I must stick to it, and if you are willing If you bless me, I will feel even more honored..."

"I bless you, I'm so happy, but this is not the way to do it now!" Letizia sighed, "Now he has no news, God knows what will happen next? Can you wait like this forever? This is hurt yourself."

There was one more thing she didn't say in her heart - if he ran off to marry someone else, wouldn't Teresa's youth be wasted? It's just that this question is too cruel, so she can't say it face to face, but she believes the hint in the words, and Teresa can hear it.

"You don't have to worry about me, I've made up my mind." Teresa raised her head and looked at the old man in front of her solemnly, "I told His Royal Highness before that I will connect my happiness with his future. Together, if he likes dancing and writing, I will accompany him to live in seclusion in the countryside; if he wants to do something big, then I can do the same! The current situation has not discouraged me, and I will not be discouraged. I am willing to wait!"

Speaking of this, she changed her words again, "Of course, it is not the way to do it. I hope to find His Highness as soon as possible and let him understand my intentions... So I urgently need your help."

"How can I help you?" Letizia asked quickly.

At this moment, her brother, Bishop Joseph Fish, ran in front of her again, and this time his expression became quite strange again, with a look of hesitating to speak.

"Joseph, what happened again?" Letizia asked impatiently.

Joseph Fish did not answer immediately, but glanced at Teresa subconsciously.

It was these subtle expressions and movements that made Teresa's heart skip a beat.

Did God really hear my prayers?

She couldn't believe that she was so lucky, but she hoped that her wish would come true.

Maybe after all the regrets and pains, God should drop the curtain on me... she thought uneasily.

"Okay, what happened?" Letizia asked impatiently while she was still thinking.

Teresa pricked up her ears, for fear of missing a word.

"There's a little girl outside, she says... She says she has something important to ask to see you." The Cardinal replied after hesitating for a moment. "She's not very old, but I don't think she's the kind of liar, so why don't you take time to meet?"

"Is that little girl a blond girl who calls herself a maid?" Teresa asked impatiently before Letizia could answer.

The cardinal spread his hands, indicating that he had nothing to say.

Yes, definitely yes! An old man who lives in seclusion here, how can anyone usually visit, let alone a young girl?

There is a high probability that the maid sent by His Highness to contact his grandmother.

His Highness is now wandering outside, and there are not many trusted people around him. He will definitely let the trusted people around him perform this task, so as not to expose his whereabouts.

must be so...

Great!

The instant ecstasy caused Teresa's face to suddenly turn red, and a sincere smile appeared on her face. Although this smile did not match the tears that hadn't disappeared from the corners of her eyes, it was enough to infect the two elderly people present.

"Please meet her, Your Majesty!" Teresa looked at Letizia with a look of excitement she tried to suppress but couldn't hide. "Maybe this is all I expected..."

The girl's prayer made Letizia smile.

"Looks like you know more than I do. Well, so be it."

The cardinal nodded and walked out of the room again.

Teresa could only feel her heart beating wildly.

Although she has only met the maid next to His Highness a few times, she now wishes to see her more than ever.

Must be her, right? God, it must be her!

However, despite the ecstasy, she still maintained a little composure, remembering her own proportions.

"I'll go to the next room to avoid it." She stood up and saluted Letizia, planning to leave temporarily.

Unexpectedly, the old woman suddenly stretched out her hand and grabbed her arm.

"No, Teresa, don't go, I have nothing to hide from you." She shook her head gently, "If God is really seeking justice for you, why should you resist this gift? Just stay with me. , and see if it's the luck you're most looking forward to. I don't know what happened, but I may God bless you."

"Thank you...Thank you!" Seeing the sincere and loving eyes of the old man, Teresa almost cried again, but this time she was moved and joyful.

So, she sat down again and looked at the door with great tension, waiting for fate to reveal the answer to her.

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

After arriving in the city of Rome, Chanel carefully approached the Bonaparte Palace where the Empress Dowager Letizia lived, and then requested an audience through the gatekeeper according to the code given to her by Agron.

Aged Cardinal Joseph Fish received her and asked her about her visit, but she insisted on seeing Letizia.

The old man had to go to pass the news. It didn't take long for the cardinal to come back, and then told her that the owner of the place agreed to see her, and then took her to the interview room.

Along the way, Chanel only felt nervous. She rehearsed the next interview in her mind countless times, for fear that she would be disgraceful and humiliated because of her nervousness.

In this suffocating tension, the door opened, and Chanel followed the cardinal and walked in.

Just as she was about to salute the old woman sitting in the middle of the room, her body suddenly froze.

Because she saw someone she could never believe would be here.

"Your Highness..." She called out this title subconsciously.

"Where is Your Highness?" The answer to her was an urgent question.
