Eagle’s Glory

After settling Agnes, Agron returned to his bedroom and lay down to rest.

It wasn't until close to noon the next day that he regained consciousness from his hangover - the captain of his guard deliberately did not let anyone disturb him, so that His Majesty could relax in this rare interval.

After waking up, Agron, who had re-dressed and dressed up, went to visit Agnes, and at this time, she had already woken up and returned to her usual restraint and sharpness, and she would never see that kind of drunkenness again. Lazy.

After the two said hello to each other, they smiled knowingly, and they both kept what happened last night in their hearts.

After another day, the day Aegron was scheduled to hunt finally came.

When the early morning just arrived, Agron had someone notify Agnes, and at this time she was already getting ready to go, so she quickly came to Agron.

Today's Agnes is still wearing men's clothes, and the whole person looks heroic, but the weapon in her hand surprised Agron.

"Agnes, you...you hunt with this?" Agron raised his hand and pointed to the bow hanging from Agnes' right shoulder.

The structure of this bow is simple, and there are some cracks on the wooden arms, and the bowstring is dull. In terms of volume, this bow does not seem to be very powerful, it should be used by ordinary farmers.

"What's wrong?" Agnes asked with a smile. "It shouldn't be a problem to hunt with this thing, right?"

"Of course it's fine..." Agron spread his hands, "but honestly, I'm surprised... Where did you get this thing?"

"I got it from a nearby hunter yesterday," Agnes replied. "I don't hunt a lot with people, but I think it's more fun that way."

Perhaps afraid of Aegron's ridicule, she continued to explain a little embarrassedly, "Please don't mind, I'm just a little interested in this... After all, in my opinion, hunting with a musket really loses the beauty of hunting. , just pure killing."

This reason makes Agron dumbfounded - it seems that Agnes really prefers cold weapons.

Since it was a personal hobby, he didn't need to say anything more.

"It doesn't matter, as I said, this is just a way to relax in leisure time. Having fun is more important than anything else." Aigron smiled magnanimously, then bowed and made an inviting gesture, " Originally, I wanted to see your hunting heroism, but now I look forward to it even more."

Agnes smiled and blinked, then waved to him, "Then I will try my best so that you won't be disappointed."

After all, she is also a girl with an active nature. Since she came to this difficult place, she has been holding back for so long, and she also wants to take the opportunity to relax.

After the two exchanged their greetings, they rode together, bid farewell to Nafpaktos harbor temporarily, and drove towards the hills in the suburbs.

There were already guards clearing the way along the way, so no one disturbed the young man's Yaxing.

After arriving in the wild, these members of the guards also spread out and patrolled around according to the previous arrangement - firstly, the cordon was opened to protect the safety of the young man; secondly, they would not get too close and interfere with his fun. .

Riding a horse and strolling among the ravines, looking around at the lush woods and listening to the incessant birdsong, Aegron suddenly felt a sense of complacency.

He came out on purpose, rather than enjoying the fun of hunting in the wild, he was enjoying the feeling of power and majesty.

Of course, this scene alone still can't satisfy him. In his heart, the crown is like a cloud and everyone looks up to it is his final destination.

Just relax a little now.

So, Agron turned his head and focused his attention on Agnes next to him.

Because it was already a land of no one at this time, Agnes also took off her hat directly, letting her bundled hair be released again and scattered behind her head.

Then, she rode on a horse, held a bow and arrow, and focused her eyes on the front.

In her hand is a small hunting bow, which is not powerful but is light, and it doesn't take too much effort to pull it, which is suitable for her body type.

Under Agron's gaze, Agnes's originally light gaze was now a bit more cold and cruel. She stretched the bowstring fully, and her whole body seemed to be tense, and the tip of the arrow, which was slightly trembling, soon became stable and aimed ahead.

Then, with a soft sound of "pop", the bow and arrow left the string and rushed forward rapidly. Then, in the midst of a scream, a flying bird fell to the ground, and soon stopped struggling.

Agnes lowered her bow slightly and looked at the killed prey with a calm gaze. Her entire movement was smooth and natural, full of sharp beauty.

"So you really know this?" Aigron was surprised and praised.

"Don't you think I'm holding it on purpose just to pose for you?" Agnes gave him a sullen look, then shook the bow demonstratively, "Would you like to try it too? ?"

Aegron quickly shook his head, "Forget it, I've never fiddled with bows and arrows!"

Indeed, the royal education he received in the Austrian court since he was a child can be said to be all-encompassing. Whether it is language, etiquette, military, etc., there are special teachers to teach him, but the use of bows and arrows touches his blind spots of knowledge.

Of course, he didn't feel sorry for it - this kind of medieval relic, if it won't, it won't.

However, this did not prevent him from admiring Agnes' heroic appearance-under his gaze, Agnes kept pulling the bow and slashing at the target.

Although she can't achieve the realm of the archer with no false hair, it is obvious that she has a high target and has accumulated a lot of prey.

And he just fired a few shots with a gun at random, and didn't care if he hit the target.

If both of them have guns, then he still has the heart to compete, but Agnes is obviously starting a different track, and he feels that he is a bit incompetent when comparing with guns.

It seems that Agnes' success in swordsmanship is not accidental - her physical coordination, anticipation and precision of movements, these indispensable talents can also be displayed when shooting arrows.

The two of them hunted all the way, and rode their horses all the way forcibly. After a while, Agnes finally got a little tired. Out of breath, she put down her hand and put the bow on the horse's back, then shook her sore hand. .

"I'm a little tired, why don't we take a break?"

"Of course." Agron nodded immediately.

Under his gaze, Agnes' forehead was densely covered with beads of sweat, and the fine hair was sticking to the forehead. However, this appearance not only did not detract from her color, but made her even more. Lazy charm.

"How is my performance?" Agnes asked suddenly with a smile.

Of course Aigron knew how to answer at this time.

"It's amazing! It just breaks my heart - it's a pity that we are the only ones here, and we can't let everyone appreciate the grace of Artemis!" Agron exaggerated exaggerated admiration. "It seems that although it has been sinking for so many years, the land of Greece still has spiritual energy after all!"

"You're exaggerating..." Agnes blushed slightly, but judging from her smile, she obviously took Aegron's compliment very much, "I don't deserve to be juxtaposed with the goddess! When it arrives, it is estimated that I will die of laughter..."

"But you do give me this feeling." Aegron replied with a smile.

Although he deliberately complimented Agnes and made her happy, in his heart, he did secretly admire her performance.

Not even just admiration, but an admiration.

"Okay, let's rest for a while—" he suggested, rolling over and dismounting.

And Agnes naturally did the same, so the two of them led the horse and strolled along the path in the woods.

"Agnes, are you still enjoying yourself today?" Agron asked.

"That's natural...I haven't had such a good time in a long time." Agnes replied with a smile, "Not to mention that after I came to Greece, I rarely had this opportunity when I was in Paris...Well, if you think about it this way. , it's not a bad thing to come here!"

After speaking, she took out a handkerchief from her arms and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Then, she looked back at Aegron again, "You seem to be quite happy today too."

"Yeah." Aegron admitted without concealment, "Being able to get out of so many complicated things one day, I feel wholeheartedly at ease..."

"If you don't like to be bothered by everything, why do you have to let yourself take on so many things?" Agnes asked, a little puzzled, "As far as I can see, after you escaped from Austria, even if you don't pursue restoration , with your talent, you can also live very comfortably... go wherever you want, and do whatever you want."

"No, Agnes." Agron shook his head with a smile, "I can honestly admit to you that I really enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by people, being supported by people, and even being bothered by people, and being in the center of power. It's enough to make people addicted... To be honest, I occasionally relax just to make myself more powerful to chase the things I want."

After hearing Agron's blunt words, Agnes blinked and seemed slightly regretful.

"And yes... you are indeed a persistent person. If you feel that this kind of life is meaningful to you, of course you can do it as much as you want, and a person who has a purpose in life and is willing to work **** it is something to be admired. Only But...I personally have no interest in power."

Agron also knew that Agnes really had no desire for power.

Suddenly, a curiosity arose in his heart.

"What about you? Agnes? What's your goal?" Agron asked the other side.

"I...?" Agnes seemed a little embarrassed and didn't answer for a while.

After a while, she seemed to have an answer, and then answered, "What I want most is to protect the safety of my family, and the second thing... is probably to become the best swordsman in the world, even if I can't, at least I have to do this. effort."

"I believe the former one is true, but the latter one I doubt." Aigron replied suddenly.

"What?" Agnes was a little surprised.

Agron didn't answer right away, and took Agnes to a tree, then wrapped the horse's reins around the stump, and then he continued to answer.

"If you really have such a strong pursuit of being the strongest in the world, then I should feel that obsession with winning in you, that arrogance that must trample your opponent, just like me The same - but, I don't see such a strong desire to win in you. Although you are interested in fighting, it is more like a hobby. You like to win, but you are not so persistent, so I don't quite believe this is your purpose in life..."

"Who said that!" Agnes glared at Agron unconvinced. "Ever since we played against each other, I have been unconvinced. I want to find a chance to win you again!"

Aegron just looked at her gently, "I'm sorry now, it's a little inconvenient, but if there is a chance in the future, I will fulfill your wishes-but, even at this moment, I don't see your persistent victory or defeat. want."

Agnes was speechless for a moment.

She lowered her head and didn't speak for a while, and it wasn't until a moment later that she raised her head again and looked at Aegron.

"Okay... Maybe you're right. I'm not so obsessed with winning and losing, but I enjoy the competition itself more - even a lot of times when others challenge me, I have to fight." Agnes sighed. Tone, "However, my teacher thinks that I have this potential. She has told me many times that she hopes to see the day when I defeat her, so I think this is also one of my obligations."

After she finished speaking, she asked Aegron again, "Do you think there is a problem with this?"

"Of course not!" Agron smiled and shook his head again. "Everyone has the right to live according to their own ideas. Since you think it's OK, then you can naturally. What right do I have to interfere? I just think... ...a good and attractive girl like you should not be confined to such a small world, you deserve to be looked up by everyone, and if you have other goals in life, I can do my best to help."

"To be looked up by everyone..." Agnes muttered to herself, then shook her head again, "I don't have any similar thoughts."

"It doesn't have to be limited for a while, maybe you have similar interests in the future?" Aegron replied with a smile.

Then he held out his hand to Agnes, "Agnes, we're already friends, I don't want to brag about how proud it is to be my friend, but I do seldom think of being identified as My friend...so, if you need my help anywhere in the future, just speak up!"
