Eagle’s Glory

[69 has been deleted, and the revision still fails, sadly.

In fact, I have paid great attention to restraint, but it just doesn't work, so I can't do anything about it.

There is a boundary between art and yihui, I thought I could walk on the boundary, but now both are wiped out together, neither yihui nor art...meow...]

I don't know how long it took before everything was over.

The two finally came to their senses from their mind-bending joy.

Chanel's blushing face was still full of excitement, and she was looking at her master with tears and a smile at the same time.

"His Majesty…"

Having said that, she seemed to be speechless again, and just kept snuggling tightly beside the young man, enjoying the tenderness after her leisure time.

The two were lying on their sides, eyes facing each other, and Aigron looked at her carefully.

This usually docile and solemn girl, at this moment, seems to be exuding amazing beauty because of the sublimation of her soul and desire, especially her blue eyes, which are like rippling lake light.

So cute.

He has always been under her care and adored by her. Sometimes he really doubts, does he really deserve this kind of unreserved loyalty?

But no matter what, he must do his best to repay and respond, because he can no longer live up to her.

He has no confidence in his own ability, and he can't believe that he can really complete the great cause that fate entrusted to him, but even so, he still has to work hard with confidence, because... he can't let it be on himself. His expectations have failed, and he can't let everything he sacrificed become worthless.

Not only Chanel, but also the sacrifices and dedications made by others for him, these deep friendships are stacked together, so that he has no way out.

How can we live without fear and self-doubt?

But he has no right to do so.

So he would rather hypnotize himself, firmly believe that he will win, that history will open up a new path for him, that he will be immortal in this life, and let everything crawl under his feet.

Be the emperor or the lunatic - or both, that's the choice he made for himself.

With sleepwalking certainty, he gently raised his hand and stroked Chanel's hair lovingly.

"Chanel..." he called softly. "How are you?"

"I'm fine, it's never been better, Your Majesty... I love you!" Chanel endured the pain in his body, barely regaining his strength, "Thank you for giving me such honor... Now I can finally have no worries, Proud to say this..."

"At least you don't need to call me Your Majesty today, just call me Aigron." The young man laughed, "There is no Majesty on the bed."

Chanel's face turned redder.

"Iger... Iger... Long..." She mustered up her courage, tried to pronounce it several times, and finally called out the name, but she couldn't say it smoothly no matter what.

"That's right, it sounds good." Aegron nodded. "Then call me that too. I'm a little embarrassed to always call your majesty."

"No!" Chanel suddenly answered loudly, and then she lowered her head slightly, "Your Majesty, don't make me embarrassed, please, how can I call you that!"

"If only the two of us are present, what should we care about?" Aegron smiled.

"That won't work either. I'm your maid, your subject, and your closest servant. Because of this, I can't treat you with any contempt. I should set an example so that I can maintain the organization and peace of mind. In the future, the ruler of the imperial court will be able to make others treat you with the same respect." Chanel shook his head slowly, then answered seriously, "Even if there are only the two of us here, you are the one I must respect, I Don't let yourself go against your own creed. Your Majesty, I only ask you for this because I love you, and I never thought of using it to elevate my status in front of others, so you let me be loyal and loving to you , keep it in the purest way!"

This silly girl!

How blind and how amazingly loyal, she has reached this point, and she still voluntarily put herself in such a humble position... Aigron suddenly didn't know what to say.

The courage she forcibly asked for herself just now was already the limit she could do for herself.

Aegron was a little dumbfounded, but after a while, he felt a little pity for Chanel again.

So, in order not to make her more pitiful, I can't live up to her expectations even more...

He said to himself again in his heart.

A person is not only a body composed of a pile of flesh and blood, but also the sum of all social relations in the abstract sense. A person is not only shaped by himself through learning, imitation, and a series of life choices; he is also shaped by his own kinship and his own social relations. of.

At best, this is called entanglement, at worst, it is called bondage. It only depends on how you look at it.

"Okay, since you insist, then I'll take my words back." He could only nod helplessly.

Then, he leaned over again and kissed her smooth forehead gently.

"You have a good rest, I'll clean up."

Then, he forcibly endured the exhaustion after strenuous exercise, let himself sit up, and then picked up the scattered clothes and put them on again.

"Your Majesty! Let me come..." Chanel hurriedly wanted to sit up too, but because of the exhaustion and pain in her body, she just got up and lay back down again, "Ah... Your Majesty, I'm sorry..."

"Don't force yourself, Chanel." Aigron made a gesture to stop Chanel's actions. "Since you respect me, you must obey my orders. I order you to take a holiday today, and at the same time order you to rest well. I will do the rest by myself."

After speaking, Aigron began to clean up.

He opened the window first and let the sea breeze blow in to dispel the smell in the room.

No one in the passion would care about this situation just now, but after he woke up, he felt that the smell in the room was really strange.

Then he took out a new set of sheets from the cabinet next to him and began to replace the sheets that had been stained with filth and bloodstains.

Although he has been served since he was a child, he has never done housework, but such a simple task can be completed easily. Chanel, on the other hand, could only lie on the bed, looking at what the young man had done for himself with eyes full of happiness and guilt.

After finishing all this, Aigron stood at the head of the bed and nodded to Chanel.

"Okay, take a good rest. If you don't feel well tomorrow, it's okay to take a few more days of rest. I can take care of myself anyway."

"No, I can continue my work tomorrow." Chanel insisted, "Your Majesty, how can I let you suffer because of me? These little things... can't waste your time, I should do them all..."

Ugh... what else can I say?

Since she insisted so much, Aegron could only shrug.

"Have a good rest," he emphasized again, and walked out of the room.

As he walked out, he thought silently, and unknowingly walked out of the ruins of the monastery and came to the rock by the sea.

Along the way, someone had greeted the young man, but they could all see that he was not in the mood, so everyone consciously stepped aside to avoid disturbing His Majesty.

So Aigron stood alone by the sea, quietly overlooking the sea, listening to the sound of the waves hitting the reef.

Before I knew it, I had been here for months. Aegron thought.

After these days, he found that he had nostalgic for this desolate island.

This small island has witnessed the whole process of him starting from nothing to have a group loyal to him, until just now, it has witnessed everything that happened between him and Chanel.

He left many indelible memories here.

But it is not destined to be his home, there is a bigger stage waiting for him to play outside.

But no matter what, he didn't want to hand over the island to others.

If he really becomes the emperor of France, then even if he claims that this island is French territory, no one will stop it, anyway, it is originally a land without owners...

Then, give this place to Chanel as a trivial gift—of course, Chanel will always be by his side at that time, and there is very little chance to come to this island again.

Let everything here be dusted by time, and keep it here as an eternal witness of great achievements.

"Your Majesty... why are you here in a daze? Are you thinking of some poem?" At this moment, he heard a greeting from the side.

He turned his head and saw that his cousin Louis was looking at him with a smile, and walked towards him quickly.

On this island, only his two cousins ​​dared to speak to him with such a close and equal attitude.

To be honest, I don't hate this. After all, I was faced with respect every time. At first I felt majestic and comfortable, but after a long time, it was really annoying.

"You came just in time, Louis. I have something to call you." He nodded indifferently.

"Looking for me? What's the matter?" Louis was a little strange.

"I want you to go to Greece as my plenipotentiary." Aigron explained what he meant, "Edmond Dantes has been going well in Greece recently, so it's time to move on to the next step, I hope You go on my behalf to approach the current independent government of Greece to see if they are interested in accepting our aid - if they don't that's okay, you also go to their opposition, those who have been damaged in previous infighting, if The Greek government doesn't know how to praise them, so we will try to overthrow them and replace them with those who are willing to be our friends!"

Under Aigron's explanation, Louis probably understood.

He didn't have any hesitation or disgust for Aegron's conspiracy. On the contrary, the Bonaparte family's risk-taking genes were stirring in his body.

"Adventure! Good! I like it!" He nodded immediately and agreed, "I will do my best to complete your task."

"I like your courage, Louis." Seeing Louis' eagerness to try, Aigron laughed, "However, given that the Count of Monte Cristo has done a great job in Greece, in order not to have a situation where his powers and responsibilities are unclear, I decided to clarify the relationship between the two of you when the time comes - you are the prince of the royal family, and of course his status is higher than him. He must respect you and be responsible for your safety, but correspondingly, you cannot interfere with his specific actions, he The right to continue to carry out the tasks I have given him according to his own ideas. I will also elaborate in my letter to him."

"Okay, I understand." Louis nodded, but Aigron also found the hidden disappointment in his eyes.

Aegron was afraid that after he ran to Greece, he would blindly command Edmond in order to satisfy his desire for power, so he took precautions in advance.

"My cousin..." The young man stretched out his hand and patted the other's shoulder, "Among all people, I trust you the most and rely on your ability the most, but if an organization wants to survive, the most important thing is discipline. The price of failure, so please do as I say."

"I will." Louis hurriedly reassured, but soon, he asked hesitantly, "Did you listen to Father Faria's rumors about this arrangement?"

"I always make decisions based on my own considerations." Aegron replied with a stern face, "Father Faria only has the right to make suggestions, and how to do it in the end is my idea."

"Your Majesty, of course I do not doubt your wisdom," Louis replied quickly, "but Father Faria and the Count of Monte Cristo have been out of touch with the world for too long, and they are so close to each other, I am afraid they will put their own interests aside. above your interests."

Obviously, Louis is jealous that he trusts the adopted father and son too much, so he is sowing discord.

As a ruler, he likes to see his subordinates at odds with each other - that way they are more motivated to show themselves up to please the lord, and a monarch can easily turn a blind eye if his subordinates unite in private Even if it is directly overhead, the authority is gone.

However, this kind of internal struggle must be controlled within a certain range, and it cannot develop into a fierce confrontation with each other, otherwise the largest group will only be paralyzed.

Among them, only Aigron can grasp it, at least he can manage it now.

"I will judge what they have done." Aigron replied indifferently, "Don't worry, no matter how big the world is, it will eventually be surnamed Bonaparte, and outsiders are just outsiders anyway."

"Just remember!" Louis also sighed in relief.

The reason why he worked tirelessly for his cousin was to share a share of the country?

"I just made a decision." After a moment of silence, Aigron said suddenly.

"What decision?" Louis was a little puzzled.

"If it was yesterday, I might have thought differently, but after today, I have decided - I will never allow Chanel to marry anyone else, she must always be by my side, no one can Let me send her away, and no one can take her away from me." Aigron looked at Louis coldly and calmly, "If someone asks me why I am so selfish, then I can tell him, I am Your Majesty, I am You can do whatever you want, it's that simple. She's the one who made me the one who commands everything, so I'll be that person! I fulfill your wishes, and you have to fulfill mine."

"Your Majesty..." Looking at the young man's face, Louis gasped, "Why did you say that all of a sudden? I never said anything like asking you to drive away Chanel..."

"I said it to myself, my dear cousin." Aegron smiled suddenly, then shrugged. "So, please never offend Chanel, thank you."
