Eagle’s Glory

"It may take a little bit of twists and turns now, but when the time comes, I will come to Greece to find you, and then I will never leave!"

Teresa's tone was very firm, and it was obvious that she had made up her mind.

Although she was reluctant to leave His Highness, she also knew that for His Highness' sake, she couldn't just leave with him now. She needed to go back to China, finish what she should do, convince her parents, and then leave for her own happiness. ——If the stubborn father at that time could say a few words of blessing, it would be wonderful.

She knew that everything would not go as smoothly as her dream, but she had the confidence to work with His Royal Highness to remove all obstacles that stood in their way.

Originally, the pain and worrying about gains and losses in her heart did not come from sacrifice, but because she was afraid that sacrifice was meaningless; in other words, as long as she thought it was meaningful, the necessary sacrifice and patience would not matter.

Now she has swept away the haze before and saw her future star, she no longer needs to be confused or afraid.

Now is the time to say goodbye.

The people who protected her are still waiting for His Royal Highness to return at the periphery of the ruins. If she does not return overnight, God knows what will happen.

In order not to embarrass His Highness, Teresa took the initiative to bid farewell even though she was reluctant to part.

"Your Highness, I think it's time for me to go back."

"Yeah..." Aegron sighed, "It's time to say goodbye."

"I will stay in Rome for a while, and I will go with you to see your grandmother, and then I can leave in peace... I hope this day will come soon." Teresa looked at Agron expectantly, " Your Highness, you must remember to inform me, and don't make me wait in vain!"

"Don't worry, I will." Aegron couldn't help laughing, it seemed that Teresa had been turned into a bird by him.

Seeing her pitiful and lingering fear, the young man couldn't help but let the curtain fall in his heart.

"This time, I will definitely not break my promise, don't worry... My grandma must be happier when she sees you than when she sees me."

Then, the two discussed the next contact information.

"If you have any news during this time, just pass it on to the maid next to me! It's too troublesome to pretend to be my father every time, and others will definitely be suspicious."

"Is she credible?" Aegron was slightly surprised. After all, the maid's attitude towards him was definitely not friendly when we first met.

"If I don't tell her the truth, she can be trusted. I will tell her that although I miss you very much, I still can't let go of my father and Austria, so we said goodbye, and I decided to go back to Austria after the trip. Friends bless and communicate with each other..." Teresa smiled slyly, "She has always followed my mother and loved me very much since she was a child, so as long as I don't run away with you and ask her for mercy, she will agree. "

"Okay, then this is the best." Aegron also felt that this was the best.

Just as the two of them were discussing, it was already completely dark.

"I'll go first, Your Highness, take care..."

Teresa hugged the young man heavily, then turned around and left reluctantly, while Aigron stood there, watching the young girl leave with a loss.

Soon, in the dim light of the night, Teresa walked back to the place where the two met just now, and her maid was still standing there, looking at her anxiously.

"Your Highness, are you all right?" She walked over to Teresa.

Seeing that Teresa's clothes were still intact, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm fine..." Theresa couldn't see any trace of the ecstasy on her face, and her expression was calm and slightly melancholy.

She sighed slightly, "Let's go back, this is all over, no... It should be over long ago."

"Okay, then let's go quickly!" Seeing that the man didn't mean to stay, the maid also felt that it was best to leave quickly to avoid another accident.

So the two of them walked out of the ruins, returned to the carriage parked outside, and set foot on the road back to the hotel.

In the carriage, Teresa was still in a state of dismay.

"What's the matter with you?" the maid asked quickly. "Did he do anything rude to you?"

"That's not true, it's just... I found that there is still a distance between dreams and reality, and I recognize myself." Teresa shook her head and replied, "When we were talking, he asked me to think about it carefully. , if I follow him, then I will lose my title, my parents' love, and everything I have...and maybe get nothing, maybe even put my life in danger. He makes sense. , so that I considered it carefully after listening to it. In the end, I decided not to touch these dangers anymore... So I can only say goodbye to him, and we can only communicate as ordinary friends in the future. "

Teresa deliberately made her tone heavy and confused, showing a look of "heartedly determined but disappointed", "It is said that we are in contact, but we can probably only communicate with each other and greet each other, because in the future I will Lived in Austria, and he will probably never come again."

Although Teresa was so depressed, the maid was cheering in her heart, but she didn't dare to be ecstatic on the surface, so as not to make Her Royal Highness sad.

"At last, he still has a little conscience, and he didn't bother you to the end." She stretched out her hand and stroked Teresa's hair, "Your Highness, you finally figured it out, this is great! Your parents also You will be very pleased, don’t worry, you will have a better choice in the future…”

"Although we said goodbye to each other, we are still friends now. I hope you don't continue to slander him in front of me. This is not how I treat friends." Teresa suddenly raised her head and looked at each other seriously. Before returning to Austria, we will continue to communicate and say hello as friends. I hope you can do me a favor and let me settle my final knot."

"Your Highness...?" The maid was taken aback.

"This is my last wish. I hope that the passion I have devoted most to my life can end in a peaceful way." Teresa closed her eyes with emotion, "Please help me, wait for me to return. Austria, it's all over and I'm going to take a different path in my life."

"Okay...Okay." After hesitating for a moment, the maid finally made concessions to her beloved Highness, "Since you wish this, then I will do as you ordered."

"Thank you." Teresa finally showed a smile.

After Teresa and her party left, Aigron also returned to Chanel's side.

"Your Majesty, how are you and His Highness talking?" Chanel asked uneasily.

"How can I describe it..." Aigron looked up at the starry sky, and then replied, "She made me feel ashamed, and even made me thank Metternich; although this is just a candidate he randomly appointed, but meeting Teresa will definitely It's the luck of my life."

"It's such a high rating!" Chanel was taken aback.

She had been with Aegron for so long, and could be said to have witnessed everything in his dealings with Teresa.

It was because she was witnessing from the beginning that she knew what the young man's attitude towards Teresa was in the past - both admiring, but alienating, just regarded as a cute and interesting friend, and in the end she chose to deceive the other party and regarded it as a fool. The pretense of the world.

However, after meeting today, he was clearly fascinated by His Royal Highness.

Although she knew that Her Royal Highness Teresa was really cute, Chanel still didn't expect her to be so attractive...

Therefore, it seems that in the near future, Her Royal Highness Teresa will become the mistress she has to respect and swear allegiance to.

She knew from the beginning that she could never have any official status with His Majesty, and even she did not expect this, she knew that for the interests of the Empire and the Bonaparte family, His Majesty should marry the royal family—— Just like his father.

But that doesn't mean she doesn't have ideas of her own.

She hopes to stay by His Majesty's side for a long time and take care of him as always - His Majesty has already agreed to this request, and then she hopes that her future mistress will also accept this request.

Judging from her relationship with Teresa, His Highness has a good temper and treats others politely. He may be able to allow her to continue to serve His Majesty with magnanimity, but who can tell what will happen in the future?

Thinking about it is really annoying.

But she also knew that she would face this kind of problem one day - relatively speaking, Her Royal Highness Teresa is already a very tolerant person, at least much easier to get along with than Sophie who is always bossy.

No matter how difficult the road ahead is, she will continue to stick to her own path, follow His Majesty's side, and dedicate her loyalty.

"Okay, we should leave too." Agron didn't know what was in Chanel's mind at the moment, he waved and made a gesture, "Let's go."

Chanel hesitated.

In any case, since this is His Majesty's decision, she can only follow it without questioning it, and what can she say? This is where she is qualified to intervene.

It seems that I can only find a way to have a good relationship with Her Royal Highness Teresa in the future, and then I pray for her tolerance...

With an uneasy mood, Chanel did not speak in the end, and followed Aegron silently away.

For the next few days, Aigron stayed in the hotel where he stayed, while reading popular novels to pass the time, while silently watching the movement in Rome, waiting for the result of his plan.

And now the person who implements his plan is his uncle, Cardinal Joseph Fish.

The cardinal, who has been in contact with the highest power, has not extinguished the flame in his heart.

Inspired by Aegron, Cardinal Fish, who had bid farewell to the secular world in silence, was full of vigorous fighting spirit as if he had received a booster.

His old body had regained its former energy, and he was ready to devote himself fully to the service of the new head of the family of Bonaparte.

He assessed the situation, contacted his old friends, and then worked hard to carry out the tasks assigned by His Majesty the Emperor through his network of relationships within the Roman Church.

Just one morning, the cardinal sneaked out of the city of Rome again, came to the hotel to meet his master, and was ready to report the results of his efforts.

After confirming that there was no abnormality, Aigron quickly met the old man.

As soon as they met, Aegron paid attention to the expression of the other party, and found that he was calm and had an irresistible look of joy.

"Looks like you've brought me good news." Aigron said with a smile.

"That's right, Your Majesty!" The Cardinal replied while salute. "I have completed your task."

Without waiting for Aigron's questioning, he continued to explain, "I contacted Cardinal Vittorio Esposito through a good friend and forwarded Father Faria's handwritten letter to He, and then gave a generous gift, he accepted it, and promised to listen to my appeal."

"Did you mention my name and intent?" Agron asked.

"Of course not, I don't think now is the time." The cardinal shook his head quickly, "The attitude of the cardinal is still unclear, I am not sure what his attitude is, so I dare not directly call you All of your intentions have been made clear. But... your escape from Austria is a major event that has caused a sensation in the whole of Europe, and he must have a hunch in his heart when I suddenly move to him."

Aigron knew what the cardinal was implying.

To be able to climb to the top of the church, the cardinal is definitely not an ordinary person. He does not need to spend a lot of brain cells to think of why Cardinal Fish suddenly became active - naturally, he can also guess a little. the intention of the other party.

However, sometimes it is so subtle, even if the mutual tacit understanding, as long as the two sides do not say it in person, they can forcibly deny it afterwards, and there is still room for it.

He trusted Cardinal Fish, because his great-uncle, Fish, did this job specifically for Emperor Napoleon back then, running around the church for Napoleon, dredging relations, and reaching various deals.

Since he is professional and there is no problem with loyalty, Aigron is of course happy to let him do it all.

Now that he and the Cardinal Vittorio Esposito have established a preliminary connection, they will test each other. If nothing else, take Father Faria as an opportunity and use money as the key. Will open up his own way in the church.

And he believes that in the future, he and the Church of Rome will never cooperate only once.

The two continued to discuss for a while and determined the timing of the next action. At the end, Aigron changed the conversation and mentioned another matter.

"Tell my grandmother when you go back, I've seen Theresa, and we...well, we had a good time."

"Oh? Great!" The Cardinal was surprised and delighted. "Are you and her reconciled?"

"It's almost, at least now, there is no difference between us. The support that Teresa has given me, whether it is mentally or otherwise, has made me overjoyed." Aegron smiled shallowly, as if recalling The two met not long ago.

Then, he glanced at the old man a little embarrassedly, and then said in a low voice, "We have made an agreement, and we will find a time to visit her together..."

"I will repay her immediately. I think she will be very happy. We will find an opportunity to reunite you with her." The cardinal agreed immediately, "Your Majesty, I believe that your grandmother must be Will be proud of you. She will do everything in her power to help you achieve your dreams."

"I hope so," Aegron replied.
