Eagle’s Glory

Chapter 175: 62, sacrifice

"No matter who it is, as long as it is disrespectful to us and damages my happiness, I will never forgive him."

Seeing her daughter's high-spirited words, Henrietta finally felt relieved.

"Well said, Teresa, that's all you need to do. You need to be courteous, but there's no need to kowtow to others to please others. You've sacrificed enough for Franz, and you won't have to. I have to lose my remaining dignity..."

As she spoke, she lovingly stroked her daughter's hair.

"Alas, I really hope that one day all this will be calm, I've been really annoying us lately... Alas, it would be nice if he didn't have so much senseless ambition! We never expected him to be an emperor."

Teresa was also touched, she lowered her head and couldn't speak, and the mother and son enjoyed the peace in silence.

After a while, Henrietta changed the subject again, "By the way, I have heard some rumors about Her Royal Highness Sophie recently."

"Um?"

The speaker was indifferent, but Teresa's face suddenly turned pale. "What... what rumors."

"It is said that she fell ill not because the palace said she contracted pneumonia, but because she was angry with Your Majesty for helping Franz escape, so she was temporarily detained." Henrietta lowered her voice, "This is just a rumor, you Let's just take it as news, don't take it seriously. But I think there is some basis for this... After all, the two of them are said to be very good friends..."

Teresa could only laugh awkwardly. "Perhaps so."

During this period of time, although the court has been trying to block the news about Sophie, she, who is a prince and concubine, has not appeared in public for a long time, which will definitely attract rumors.

From the mother's reaction, Teresa immediately guessed that the father did not tell the mother about it.

That's just right, save her tongue.

"His Royal Highness shoulders the heavy responsibility of the continuation of our country, I hope she is all right." She could only deal with this.

"Who said it wasn't!" Henrietta smiled bitterly, "His Royal Highness has been ill for so long, and although no one has publicly talked about it in the social world recently, many people are worried about the continuation of the imperial emperor. In case... if she doesn't make it through, maybe we have to find another princess from abroad, God knows how much trouble it will take."

What's there to worry about... She's working on it now. Teresa answered in her heart.

Just when she was upset, her mother's voice continued to ring in her ears.

"It is precisely because of these speculations that the palace has been reassuring people recently, saying that His Royal Highness is now in good health, but just needs to rest for a while, and she will reappear before the public after a while..."

That's right, count the time, and she will really be able to see people again soon after.

And the crystallization of that evil fate will also be hidden in the shady world.

Teresa's breathing became heavier involuntarily.

She was angry and envious at the same time, and a little unconvinced.

Why...why are you doing this? ! What did your willful sacrifice make me do?

She unconsciously clenched her fist and wanted to hammer it **** the table, but the last remaining sanity stopped her.

"Teresa? What's wrong with you? Why is your face so ugly?" Seeing that something was wrong with her daughter, Henrietta quickly stopped the conversation.

"It's nothing, Mom." Teresa finally came to her senses, then shook her head slightly. "I'm just a little fortunate. It's great that she's okay."

Before waiting for her mother to ask again, she suddenly asked again, "Mom, can you do me one more favor?"

"Look at what you say! Just mention it," replied Henrietta with a smile.

"If... If Her Royal Highness Sophie recovers and reappears, can you help me arrange an interview?" Teresa asked.

"Huh? Yes, yes, but why?" Henrietta blinked in confusion. "I remember that you usually don't have much friendship with her."

"I have to face what I have to face," Theresa whispered.

Then, she smiled, "I mean, before I leave, I have to thank her for everything she has done for His Royal Highness."

"I don't understand what you are thinking..." Henrietta sighed, "But since this is your wish, then I will try it. I think in my capacity, the court should not refuse."

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

After saying goodbye to the King of Holland, Aegron returned to his room angrily.

While he was carrying out his plans with high spirits, it was a little disappointing that the uncle's incident suddenly came in.

And this fact, like a basin of cold water, made Aegron, who was a little overwhelmed, face reality again.

Yes, although he is now the king and hegemon on a small island, and he has initially established his own internal power structure, in the final analysis, he is nothing more than the leader of a few hundred people, not to mention that he cannot influence external forces, even a waste within the family. Uncle Wang can also disobey his orders.

I still have a long way to go before I can achieve my goals.

Although he very much hoped to punish the uncle heavily as an example, he also knew rationally that now he had no spare time, and he also needed the two Louis brothers to continue to work, so he could not make a big mistake because of a momentary anger.

Now this kind of treatment is the best solution he can do.

But this definitely does not mean that he will forget this offense, he has written down this account in his heart, and he will reckon it well when he has a chance.

Thinking of this, his anger also calmed down again.

"Your Majesty..." At this moment, a timid greeting came from beside him. "Are you alright..."

Aigron turned his head and found that Chanel was looking at him with worry.

"It's okay, it's just a little unpleasant." Aegron shrugged.

"Is His Royal Highness unwilling to give allegiance and sponsorship?" Chanel probably guessed something.

Aigron didn't answer.

"How can this be!" Chanel shouted, "How could he betray his obligations?!"

Chanel's expression was full of anger and sadness.

Although she knew of the grievances and grievances between the Dutch king and the former emperor, she still couldn't imagine that Louis, as the emperor's younger brother and uncle, would actually abandon the family's interests and refuse to help his nephew's career.

This was a huge blow to a diehard follower like her.

"It's unforgivable!" she said through gritted teeth.

Seeing Chanel's battered look, Aegron reconfirmed his judgment.

If everyone knew what Louis did now, it would definitely have a huge psychological impact on these followers.

Fortunately, there is no doubt about Chanel's loyalty. Even if there is such a mental shock, she will not shake her beliefs. As for other people, it is hard to say.

"Some people are not destined to do big things. They will only talk about the bad things they encounter all their lives, but they don't dare to change anything, and they don't have the ability." Aegron said mercilessly, "That's fine, I don't need to Leave him another place, the empire does not need those who are not loyal to the emperor, even if he is a close relative!"

Then, he looked at Chanel again, and then softened his tone, "Chanel, I have known for a long time, relying on my relatives and elders, I can't do anything, only to promote my cronies and talented people, I can achieve something. As long as you are by my side and follow me without abandoning, what uncles and uncles should I care about? They should run away consciously, the times have already abandoned them.

"I will always follow you." Chanel lowered his head deeply moved.

Then, she regained her spirits, and then took some clothes from the side and handed them to the young man.

"Your Majesty, will you try it?"

"What is this?" Aegron asked in confusion.

Before waiting for an answer, he already saw it.

This is a military uniform, mainly black, with golden tassel epaulets and a red ribbon.

The fabric is good, but there are obvious traces of rush production.

On top of the military uniform, there is also a double-horned hat with an eagle emblem.

"What did you do?" He probably understood.

"Yes... Your Majesty." Chanel blushed slightly and nodded lightly, "I heard you say you want to use a uniform uniform before, and you like black clothes, so I tried to use the island's cloth, It has been remodeled to imitate the military uniforms of those gentlemen, you… can you try it?”

"Of course, thank you, Chanel!" Agron's original anger was swept away at the moment, he couldn't help laughing, "You really bothered."

"You don't have to thank me, it's my duty to serve you." Chanel also breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she whispered again, "I'll put it on for you."

Then, she unbuttoned the jacket and trousers for the young man, and carefully put on the military uniform she had made.

Although the cut is average, the dress fits perfectly.

But this is not surprising, after all, after getting along for so long, Chanel is naturally aware of the master's figure.

Soon, Aigron put on this military uniform, and also put on Napoleon's iconic double-horned hat on his head.

Then, Chanel raised his head and stared blankly at the young man.

In her sight, his fair face became more handsome against the black military uniform and hat, with a little more solemnity and arrogance unique to a soldier, and his blond hair seemed to be in the sunlight outside the window. Brilliant.

"How is it, Chanel?" Agron asked.

Although he didn't look in the mirror, from the admiration and admiration in Chanel's gaze, he guessed that he must be very good-looking.

"It's so beautiful, Your Majesty!" Chanel blurted out, "You are the incarnation of Apollo!"

"It's not so outrageous!" Aegron said with a smile.

Although he is modest on the surface, he is still quite happy inside.

In the imperial era, gorgeous military uniforms have always been the favorite of imperial soldiers. Whether it is ordinary infantry, artillery, hussars, cuirass, and cavalry, they all have their own uniforms and iconic attire. Spend a fortune.

The same goes for the armies of other countries.

Soldiers are creatures of honor and vanity, and of course they love the attire that makes them stand out.

Although under the current conditions, it is impossible and unnecessary for him to design so many kinds of military uniforms, but in order to satisfy the vanity of his subordinates, he is also very happy to make everyone dress up as much as possible with his own characteristics—

In addition, in the age of empires, soldiers had to pay for their equipment, but Aegron was ready to pay for the expenses himself. Anyway, there are not many people now, so it doesn't cost him much money, which makes his subordinates happy. more able to boost their morale.

"I'm telling the truth, Your Majesty..." Chanel kept looking at the young man, and then replied in a low voice, "You are so suitable for this outfit!"

"It's all your credit, Chanel." Aigron laughed, "It seems that the effect is good, very good, then let's use this suit as a template for our military uniform, you have made a great contribution. "

As he said that, he walked to his desk, picked up his saber, and then put on a stance, skillfully throwing a sword flower.

"How is it? Chanel?" He turned his head and waited for the other's compliment.

He is already imagining that in the future, his army will wear such a uniform and go to the battlefield majestic.

However, Chanel didn't speak this time. She suddenly stepped forward and hugged her master from behind desperately.

"Your Majesty... that's great..." she said in a very excited tone, "this is all I want to see!"

As she said that, she moved her nose and sniffed the smell of the new fabric from behind the young man.

"You are the embodiment of the Empire, everything we need to reproduce."

Although Aigron was a little surprised by Chanel's actions at first, he soon understood the other party's joy.

"Thank you, Chanel." He didn't break free from Chanel's embrace, but put down his sword and stroked her cheek, "I'm glad we are working towards the same goal, we still have a lot of things to do next, Please continue to share your wisdom and courage with me, and I will not forget your exploits."

"I will, I will always do it. As long as you achieve a great cause, I am willing to do it with all your patience and sacrifice, because you are the monarch who shines on me, and the one who has always been loyal to me." Chanel closed his eyes slightly. , "Maybe after Your Highness Teresa comes down, I can only watch you and His Highness revive the empire, but I am willing to make such a sacrifice, as long as I can silently guard you and your empire, it will be forever for me. An unforgettable honor. What more can I ask for?"

"Whether you ask for it or not, and whether I give it to you are two different things, Chanel." Aigron shook his head with a smile, "I am by no means a person who treats my friends harshly, you are already my knight, and the future will be even brighter. Honor - wait."
