Eagle’s Glory

"No, Your Majesty, I'd love to!"

Seeing that His Majesty became unpleasant, Edgar no longer hesitated, and immediately agreed to the drudgery.

However, although he was obedient on the surface, his heart was full of bitterness - how could he, a son-in-law who has been wandering in Paris for so many years, endure this hardship?

However, he had no room for rejection, he could only agree.

He could see that His Majesty despised him in his heart, and he did not intend to fight with life and death in exchange for His Majesty's attention, like Edmund Dantes.

Father would never be happy to see this result.

So...for myself, especially for the future of the Treville family, I have to sacrifice others.

Edgar thought for a while and made a decision.

"Your Majesty, can you take care of Agnes while I'm on a mission?" he whispered. "She's in the middle of our team, after all, it's not very convenient... If I'm not here, it's better for her to avoid contact with others."

Agron was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"Then let her come over, I'm happy to entertain her now."

After all, having just won the victory, although Agron pretended to be calm on the surface, he was naturally quite happy in his heart, and he was very happy to show it off to others—especially someone as proud as Agnes who was not his subordinate.

Seeing the young man nodding, Edgar immediately regained his spirits. He leaned closer, and then lowered his voice and said to the young man. "Your Majesty... I can tell along the way that Agnes has long been moved by your demeanor, and I think she admires you a bit."

"What?" Aegron was a little surprised and looked at him suspiciously.

For some unknown reason, he could see some malicious aura from Edgar's handsome appearance.

"Don't you mean to add fuel to it? I don't think Agnes will admire me so easily." After a while, Agron replied.

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered that just yesterday, Edgar made a serious offer to find him a woman "to relieve the fatigue of the journey".

Suddenly he understood something.

"Edgar, what the **** are you doing?!" he asked Edgar, frowning.

From Aegron's questioning, Edgar saw that His Majesty had already guessed his plan - but he didn't care about being seen, or it might be better to just point it out.

"Your Majesty, I really didn't lie. Agnes really admired you, but she was arrogant and unwilling to admit it since she was a child." He continued to lie seriously, "To tell you the truth, from my point of view, None of the nobles in Paris is worthy of Agnes, and of all her contemporaries, I think you alone can be considered outstanding enough to convince her."

Although he knew that Edgar was deliberately complimenting himself, Aigron couldn't help but feel a little proud after hearing it - in his opinion, this was the truth.

So he said nothing, watching Edgar let him go on.

"To tell you the truth, since our couple said goodbye to you in Switzerland and returned to France, Alice has told me several times that she thinks you and Agnes are a perfect match, and at first I kept refuting her—like you How could a wild girl like Agnes be worthy of such a noble man? But after a few more times, I kind of agree with this view..." Edgar said with a lotus in his mouth, putting himself His wife also pulled it out as a shield, "Later, my father also learned about Alice's idea, and he was quite supportive, so this time he and Alice asked Agnes to come with me, but also saved a little thought, In case you and Agnes have some wonderful sparks, they won't have to worry about Agnes' future - she'll be looked after by the best people in the world."

Edgar had already written these words many times in his heart, so when he said them, they were smooth and natural, without any flaws, and of course, without any shame.

It was because of his natural expression that Aegron immediately believed it.

Alice, do you think so?

He recalled his own experiences with Alice in Switzerland in his mind.

They chatted cordially, went boating on the lake together, and even wrote a poem improvised as much as he wanted, and even at Alice's request, he even gave Alice's child a name.

Alice did respect him very much. On the one hand, this respect must be due to the reason why the Treville family regarded him as the master; but on the other hand, he believed that his own talent was also recognized by Alice.

And he also admired Alice's personality and character very much - so no matter how despised Edgar was in his heart, he still had respect for the distant Mrs. Treville.

Therefore, when I heard that Alice actually planned to turn herself into a sister-in-law, Aigron was surprised, but there was a sense of indescribable feeling in his heart.

"Your Majesty, please understand, with your wisdom, can't you see the strangeness of Alice's actions?" After speaking, Edgar asked the young man, "Why did she deliberately let her sister come over? Is it just because she was worried about me for forcing her to stay by my side? In fact, she has high hopes for you and Agnes..."

Edgar's words were half-truths - Alice agreed with their father and son's proposal, but he deliberately described the plans of the Treville father and son as Alice's initiative.

Having been in the social arena for so many years, Edgar is also quite skilled at this kind of speaking skills.

Aigron also gradually believed his words.

Indeed, if interpreted in this way, everything makes sense.

However, Alice's plans were doomed from the start.

When she asked her sister to come, she must not have thought that Teresa had already come to her side?

It's a twist of fate.

What if Teresa didn't come to her at this time?

——He suddenly had an idea.

He couldn't think of the result for a second, but he asked himself that he really didn't hate Agnes.

Forget it, since it has come to this stage, it is meaningless to think about so many things.

"I see... I understand." He nodded, then smiled bitterly, "I'm very grateful to Alice for treating me so highly, but unfortunately, now that I have promised Teresa to marry her, I I will never break this promise, so I am destined to be unable to respond to Alice's kindness..."

"Yes, Your Majesty, as soon as I came here, I knew that Alice's wish was doomed to fail, so I didn't dare to tell you this at the time." Edgar sighed, "This is indeed regrettable! If Iger Nice to be with you directly in Switzerland! I believe that would be the happiest outcome."

Aigron suddenly didn't know how to reply to the other party.

After a pause, he returned to the subject.

"Okay, so what did you mean by telling me this?"

"Nothing else, I just want to take care of Agnes as much as possible, let her spend this time safely, and then go back to China with me." Edgar looked at Agron innocently, "Now I All I think about is how to explain to Alice, and I can't hope for anything else."

Although Edgar's words were basically impeccable, Aigron still felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong.

He just looked at Edgar suspiciously, waiting for the other side's next sentence.

"Please rest assured, even if I can't marry you, Alice's respect for you will not be reduced by half." Edgar continued to Aegron sincerely, "Similarly, Agnes can also Be your friend, she will be happy to witness your great deeds and praise your heroic deeds by your side. Maybe this period of experience will become an unforgettable experience in her life-"

Although Edgar's words are still very cautious, Edgar's reference to "friends" is already full of explicit insinuations.

It's just that Aigron didn't notice the meaning of it - on the one hand, he has not been in the French court and the court of the wind and the moon, and he lacks the tacit understanding of each other; The descendants of the generals and the famous nobles like Edgar would secretly give Agnes as a gift, in order to flatter and win favor.

"Although I can't respond to Alice's expectations because of the objective reality, if Alice entrusts her sister to me, then of course I will take good care of her." Aegron agreed without any hesitation. "In addition, I actually admire Agnes, and it should be a pleasure to get along with her as a friend..."

All right! Just waiting for your words!

Edgar was overjoyed.

But he didn't show any traces on the surface, because he knew it was not the time to be done.

He wasn't in a hurry, he knew he could push it slowly and let his father and his vision come to fruition slowly.

Of course, he didn't know anything about leading troops to fight and planning transfers on the map, but when he came to the Fengyue Field, which he was familiar with, he was able to do it with ease, with a bit of a commander-in-chief temperament.

After all, he knew in his heart that as long as he was able to fan the flames on the side and create opportunities for them to get along with each other, two such outstanding young girls would naturally be attracted to each other—not to mention that they had a leading edge before!

Although the glory of the Treville family is destined to not be carried forward by him, but through Agnes, can it not be realized in a curve?

"Okay, Your Majesty, thank you for your generosity and generosity." Edgar bowed and said goodbye to him, "I will not disturb you. Before I carry out your orders, please allow me a little to see Agnie. Si, I'll explain the situation to her."

"Well, you can go." Agron waved his hand, indicating that he could leave.

Edgar passed through the still messy battlefield and returned to the place where he had stopped temporarily. At this time, the carriage, which had just been pulled down due to the rapid march, was slowly coming along with the arrival of the logistics troops. got here.

Edgar followed the carriage train, came to the side of a carriage, and knocked gently on the door of the carriage.

The door was quickly opened.

Agnes, who was wearing a military uniform, really sat inside, looking at her brother-in-law with a blank expression.

"How's the battle going?" she whispered when she saw Edgar.

As she asked, she looked ahead from the car window.

"It looks like everything is going well?"

"Yeah, everything went well." Edgar nodded. "His Majesty is in a good mood."

"What about you? How are you doing?" Agnes asked.

"Me? So-so." Edgar replied indifferently. "I charged with the army. Although I didn't kill a single enemy, at least I fulfilled my due obligations."

Agnes looked at Edgar suspiciously.

She already knew her brother-in-law quite well, so she didn't quite believe that he would risk his life to charge into battle.

But since he said so, Agnes didn't intend to get to the bottom of it, just let it be the truth.

"That's great, and I think Alice will be very happy, too." She nodded slightly.

Then, she asked again, "So what task has your Majesty assigned you now?"

Edgar didn't answer right away, obviously embarrassed too.

"Did he ask you to help him paint and show off his achievements?" Agnes asked when she saw her brother-in-law's embarrassed expression.

"If that's the case..." Edgar spread his hands helplessly, "Your Majesty ordered me to collect the remains of the war dead and bury them properly."

Agnes' face immediately turned pale.

Although she is brave, she loves cleanliness after all. When she thinks of the dead corpses covered with blood, how can she be unmoved?

She would rather face ten enemies alone than deal with a large pile of corpses.

"He's really, to actually arrange such a task for you... Should I do it too?" She forcibly suppressed the unhappiness in her heart and asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry, why am I willing to let the cutest girl in Paris do this kind of thing? Just leave it to me." Edgar puffed out his chest and looked confident, "However, in During this time, I can't take care of you."

"I didn't need your care in the first place." Agnes glanced sideways, "You just have to do your own thing."

The contempt of his wife and sister did not make Edgar feel any embarrassment. Instead, he laughed, "Even if I don't need to take care of you, it would be too outrageous to let you hang out next to a group of big bosses..."

"Then what do you say?" Agnes asked impatiently.

"I have asked Your Majesty, he will take good care of you." Edgar replied immediately.

Although his tone was calm, Agnes was shocked.

"What does it mean to take good care of?" she asked sheepishly.

"It literally means." Edgar shrugged, "Your Majesty understands your difficulties, and for Alice's sake, he is willing to help."

"This is ridiculous!" Agnes didn't appreciate it, "Why do I need him to take care of me?!"

Edgar's face sank, and he suddenly became serious.

"Agnes, I know you've always been defiant, but now, since Alice asked you to do me a favor, I hope you can put away your temper and follow the arrangements instead of causing us trouble for no reason... Now each of us It is your Majesty’s greatest kindness to have time to understand you under such circumstances. If you lose your temper again, think how disappointed Alice will be?!”
