Eagle’s Glory

With Edgar's sworn assurances, Aegron agreed to his strange request.

In his opinion, this is a small privilege that the Treville family has exchanged for their loyalty and fame. As long as they can win over this family, even if they are open to them, it will be fine.

After saying goodbye to Edgar, Aigron returned to his bedroom, where Teresa and Chanel were already waiting.

At this time, the faces of both of them were not very good-looking, and there were even some tears on Chanel's face.

"What, did you just quarrel?" In order to ease the atmosphere, Aigron made a joke.

"Your Majesty..." Hearing his voice, Shanel couldn't help shedding tears, she walked to the young man's side, then grabbed his arm, crying and begging to him, "Take me with you. Go... I have been serving by your side since I saw you, and you are used to my care, how can you stand being left behind now? If you leave for a day, I will not be able to sleep, I beg you, Take me with you!"

"Chanel, listen to you as if I can't live without anyone to serve... This is too small for me." Aigron replied with a smile, "Thank you for your care all the time, wait for me to come back."

"Your Majesty..." Chanel still didn't give up, and continued to beg him while crying.

"Chanel, that's enough, shut up!" Teresa couldn't stand it any longer, and scolded Chanel directly, "Since you are the chief maid, you should set an example, don't propose willful actions, and make Aegron It's embarrassing. Fighting is not an autumn tour, how can there be a reason to go with a maid? Well, you go out first, I have something to tell him."

Under Teresa's rare severe reprimand, Chanel was both aggrieved and scared. In the end, she could only nod her head and accept the reality.

"Your Majesty, you must take care of yourself, I will wait for you to come back..."

She finished the sentence with a weeping voice, and walked out of the room with her head down.

Only Aigron and Theresa were left in the room.

Teresa stared at the young man with a fixed gaze, and there seemed to be a thousand words in her eyes.

She finally reunited with His Royal Highness and made an agreement for a lifetime. As a result, she hasn't enjoyed the sweet time together for a long time, and she has to separate temporarily. Her heart is also full of reluctance, but she also knows more that this is impossible.

This is His Highness moving forward for her own dream, so for the future of the two, she must do what she should do—at least the least, and not cause trouble to His Highness.

"Your Highness, I finally understand." After a moment of silence, she whispered.

"Understand what?" Agron asked.

"When I was a child, I always heard various older ladies talk about their previous experiences. After their respective husbands left the army, they stayed at home and reminded them of their fear, and some even became widows because of this. ..." Teresa leaned on the young man's shoulder and replied in a low voice, "I was still young at that time. Although I understood that this kind of thing was a tragedy, I couldn't fully appreciate the care and pain. Finally got it... God, if I had a choice, I wouldn't let this happen."

Theresa was talking, her voice was a little choked up, but she held back her tears.

After all, for the nobles who have just experienced the 30 years of war in the Great Revolution, this is really an ordinary thing.

Teresa's words infected Agron, and he reached out and stroked her cheek.

"Sorry, Teresa, I always make you sad and scared, but... there are some things I have to do. Since I chose this path, I can face whatever I choose."

"Yes, I can too." Teresa looked at him with wide eyes, then nodded heavily, "Those ladies endured all this with great courage, now it's my turn, and my performance will not be good either. inferior to them."

The "lady" mentioned by Teresa, their husbands are all Austrian noble officers, that is to say...the enemy they face face to face is actually Napoleon and his French Empire army.

However, neither of the two of them would care about such trivial matters right now.

The nationalities of human beings may be different, but human emotions are common after all.

When the two countries are at war, in this country and in that country, the mothers, wives and daughters of the soldiers prayed for their sons, husbands and fathers, looking forward to their safe return.

"Teresa, thank you." Agron was moved when he heard this, and hugged Teresa tightly in his arms. "I have already told them that all those who stay must obey your orders. If anyone dares to disrespect you, I will definitely impose the severest punishment."

"His Royal Highness, I will take care of everything here." Teresa put her head on the chest of the young man, "Although I am still too young, there may be too many things I don't understand, but I will do my best. All my intelligence and mental strength will solve the troubles here for you, you just let go and do what you want."

"Yes, I believe you." Aegron replied, "Don't worry about inexperience, everything starts from scratch, is there any experience that guides everything I do? No, I just believe in my calculations, Then take the courage and ten times the perseverance to persevere, and find a solution when you encounter a problem! I didn't blindly believe in you because you are my fiancée, but because you are a scheming Trey I believe in you, Her Royal Highness Sarah von Habsburg, I am confident in how I see people, so you must also believe in yourself—"

"That's really nice." Teresa replied with a small smile. "If only you thought so before."

"Okay... Didn't we agree not to mention old things?" Aegron laughed awkwardly. "Besides, if I told you everything at that time and let you participate in the conspiracy, God knows if your father would personally lead someone to hunt me down."

His joke made the two of them couldn't help laughing, and in the midst of their laughter, Teresa's original nervousness and worry disappeared a lot.

She broke free from Aegron's arms and looked at the young man face to face.

"Aigron, although... although this is not the life I planned for us, I still feel very happy because we are together, and we are doing things that ordinary people can't do and dare not do... I am for it. Pride, whatever happens next, at least in the future I can tell our future children that their fathers never disgrace the name they were born with."

After speaking, she changed the subject again.

"Will that Mr. Edgar be with you too?"

"Yes, he strongly requested to follow me." Aegron nodded, "In this case, if I insist on objecting, I will be humiliating the Treville family, so I can only agree. Hey, Trey The Vail family is very useful to me, so I want to give face."

"Will Miss Agnes come with him too?" Teresa asked again. "She seems to be here to protect her brother-in-law, so she shouldn't be willing to stay here."

"Hey, it was said that Agnes insisted on protecting her brother-in-law, so I had to agree to it, but I agreed to dress her up as an orderly and try not to attract attention." Agron shrugged, " I know this is a bit absurd, but for the time being it can only be like this, I hope it doesn't cause any trouble..."

Teresa was a little surprised at first, but after thinking about it, she accepted it.

"Since Miss Agnes is so good, letting her follow you will at least make your safety more secure." Teresa blinked slightly, sighing with a little envy, " Being able to possess superb swordsmanship at a young age, and the courage to not fear death, Miss Agnes is truly admirable. If only I were as good as her..."

"She can't match your strengths." Aegron replied half-complimently, "You are smart and sharp, you can read poetry and play the piano, and you are humble, and she can't match it at all, and... your skin is more than She's more white and tender, I like it!"

"His Royal Highness!" At first, Teresa was listening happily, but when she heard the teasing behind her, she couldn't help blushing and glared at Agron.

"Hahahahaha! This is my truth!" Agron laughed, then suddenly hugged Teresa again, and kissed him heavily.

Both of them threw themselves into it, savoring each other's taste, as if to put down each other's imprints before this short parting.

After a long time, their lips and tongues were separated again.

"Goodbye, Teresa." Agron solemnly bid farewell to his fiancee.

"Goodbye, Your Highness." Teresa lowered her gaze, concealing her sorrow and reluctance just right.

Aigron no longer nostalgic, nodded, then turned around and walked out of the room.

At this time, he was already full of passion, as if there was endless power in his body.

Teresa stood at the window, her eyes kept staring at the back of Aegron leaving, and she saw him leave the hotel door surrounded by guards.

He's doing his part, and I'm doing my part. Teresa thought.

The two are one, sharing weal and woe, she likes this feeling very much, and this is what she has achieved with her extremely stubborn persistence.

Instead of resting, she walked out of the bedroom and into the room off the corridor, where Captain Foresti was waiting respectfully.

Because the captain was brought by Teresa, he was considered her confidant, so Aigron kept him in order to assist Teresa.

As soon as he saw the girl come in, the captain immediately stood up to salute her.

"Captain, I'm sorry to keep you waiting. I was just saying goodbye to Aegron." Teresa briefly explained what happened. "Now that he has left, most of the people followed him. Before leaving, he entrusted everything to me... Now I am in charge of everything here."

"I understand, Your Highness." The captain nodded to show his recognition and loyalty to Teresa.

"It's all up to you, Captain, show me first," Teresa ordered briefly.

The captain didn't ask more, but nodded silently, then took Teresa to a corner deep in the room, and then opened the box here.

In an instant, the whole room was filled with the glitter of jewels, but Teresa was unmoved, and carefully counted the jewels.

Everything was as in the accounts, nothing was missing, and she was relieved.

These treasures, Aegron, are inconvenient to carry, and they are all left here. These are also the items that he needs to realize his plan, and they must not be lost.

Since Aegron had entrusted the treasures to Teresa, Teresa knew she had to protect them.

Of course, it is not enough to protect these treasures. There are still too many things to do by yourself - to maintain order here, to communicate with mother and Louisa, and to entertain Bonaparte supporters who came to defect one after another. …… The piles and piles are full of thousands of threads, and it is definitely not a job that can be easily dealt with.

But Teresa believed that she would never live up to Aegron's expectations.

She resealed the jewels, then turned to look at the captain, who seemed to have something to say to her.

"What do you want to ask, Captain?"

"Has that Miss Agnes gone?" asked the captain.

Theresa nodded slightly. "Have you seen her?"

"Yes, I saw it, but I didn't talk," the captain replied. "Although it's hard to believe that she is as good as those people say, but it can be seen that she is a master."

"Captain, are you asking yourself if you can beat her?" Teresa asked casually.

"Well..." The captain hesitated.

As a swordsman, of course he likes to learn swordsmanship with others, and he doesn't even care about winning or losing, as long as he can experience the joy of fighting against a strong enemy, he is very satisfied.

So since he heard about Agnes' deeds, his heart has been eager to try,

If it was his heyday, of course, Captain Foresti would have absolute confidence in defeating this girl, but since he was stabbed by his disciple in that snowy night, he was seriously injured and his physical function also declined greatly. , can no longer be compared with the past.

The captain decided to challenge Agnes in this situation, just to add another piece to her glorious record, and it would only make himself humiliated.

Besides, now is not the time to be brave and to cause trouble for others for no reason.

"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult." Under Teresa's gaze, the captain finally decided to tell the truth, "Now I'm no longer as strong as I used to be..."

"I understand." Teresa nodded without showing any expression, "Even you are so afraid... She is indeed something to be proud of, and I admire it very much."

After leaving the hotel, Aigron rode the horses brought by the guards to the campsite on the seashore, where his deployment team was ready to go.

He rode past the phalanxes one by one, and the officers and soldiers stood up straight, saluting their Majesty.

As far as the eye can see, the seaside is already crowded with people, and the scale is much larger than when others left Monte Cristo Island.

This was the army he paid for, his wager, and now, he needed to throw the dice.

He didn't know how it would turn out, but he knew he had to do it.

Under everyone's attention, he pulled out the sword on his waist, then pointed to the northeast, and swung it heavily.

"Go! For Nafpaktos!"
