Eagle’s Glory

After explaining to Andre Davout, Aiglon also ended his hunting trip and returned to Nafpaktos with his guards and Agnes.

However, compared to the complacency he felt when he left in the morning, he now has a few more worries - and as for Agnes, she is even more worried.

It can be seen that Aigron's actions just now greatly shook the girl's heart and made her angry. However, deep down in her heart, she didn't seem that angry.

Her original admiration and affection for the young man were now entangled with loss and anger, leaving her at a loss. In the end, she simply solved the problem by escaping.

After returning to his residence, Agron walked up to Agnes, saluted her and apologized again.

"Agnes, I apologize to you for my ridiculous behavior, and I hope you will forgive me."

As he just said to Andre, he has decided to keep Agnes on his side no matter what, and in order to achieve this goal, he must also start by repairing the relationship between the two.

"Since I have already said I forgive you, I will naturally keep my promise. You don't have to apologize any more." Agnes replied calmly, "But please be careful in the future and don't let it happen again."

No, I just want next time, next time, next time! Aigron answered in his heart.

"Okay, I'm glad you can forgive me and let today's storm end here... We can also discuss how to get along in the future." He smiled.

However, his smile did not affect Agnes, and she still looked at the young man coldly.

"How to get along?" Agnes laughed sarcastically, "Did something happen between us that required us to change the way we get along? It seems to me that I should stay away from you even more from now on."

"That's not okay." Aigron shook his head, "I want to continue to be friends with you - I want to continue to be able to watch your smile, because it will make me happy too."

"This is just your own idea, why should I follow it?" Agnes asked angrily, and then she smiled and sarcastically said, "Yes, there are thousands of people here who are obediently listening to your orders. Whatever you say is what it is. ...Of course you think I have to obey orders, right?"

"No...Agnes, you understand wrong. This is not an order, and I have no intention of threatening you with swords and guns, because I know that noble souls will not succumb to swords and guns, and friends do not rely on orders. can be obtained.

"Aigron shook his head, and then looked at the other person gently, "I'm just expressing a decision of mine. I... admire you very much, and I can even feel the value of your soul from the bottom of my heart. Because of this I get close to you unconsciously, and I will try my best to keep you by my side. You can refuse, or even keep refusing, but as long as we continue to get along, the final result may not be that I lose - I think I will achieve my wish, just as I have done before. "

Aigron's expression was serious and devoted, as if he was speaking from the heart - of course, he actually said this on purpose.

Although Agnes has a strong personality, she is young and competitive. These are her weaknesses. Although Agnes is the same age as Agnes, he has already learned to understand people's hearts in the court, so he can grasp these weaknesses.

If you are young, you are romantic and willing to listen to passionate words; while if you are competitive, you are willing to face challenges head-on.

Sure enough, just as he expected, Agnes was suddenly speechless.

She didn't know which of this young man's words were true and which were false, but these words seemed to easily touch her heartstrings.

She could feel that when the two of them were talking today, whether it was during hunting or now, the young man was unusually candid and even somewhat sincere.

"You underestimate me!" Distraught, she yelled back, "I won't worry about you... In fact, I hope your damn war in Greece ends soon so that I can take my incompetent brother-in-law with me. Go home quickly, as far away from you as possible.”

"But even if you hide in Paris, you can't escape." Aiglon still looked at the other party calmly, "My throne is there. One day I will go back and make you a person respected by all the French people. Idol... Of course, I believe you don't care about this false reputation at all - but, I hope to embellish our friendship with the most gorgeous lace."

After all, he had experienced it in the entertainment field, and Aigron was very easy to deal with a girl like Agnes.

Agnes was angry and ashamed at the same time. She didn't want to face Agron's eyes, and finally she slapped the table with her hand.

"I can see that your heart is really as hard as stone. Everything is either a stumbling block or a stepping stone for you. Even when you are emotional, you can control yourself to make cold judgments. Approach calmly and escape calmly..."

Then, she took a few deep breaths, tried to calm down her mood, and then sighed, "You are hateful, but you also have the charm that makes people worry about it. This is probably why Princess Teresa can't let go... But , Your Highness, can't you think about what you are doing? Since you have chosen Princess Teresa to be with you, why bother to torture other people's hearts? I... I really can't imagine why you are so dissatisfied! "

After saying that, she walked away as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her heart.

Aigron watched Agnes's leaving figure quietly.

He had to admit that her last words struck a vital chord in him, as if they were whipping his soul.

It seems that although she has little interest in politics or social interaction, she is still inherently smart and keen.

Unfortunately, this kind of soul torture cannot shake him.

"Because, I like it, and I want to chase the most beautiful things in the world. I am insatiable and never satisfied. I have lost everything, so I don't want to lose anything. On the contrary, I have to get what I want. Stop it." Eggron replied to the void in a low voice, "I want to conquer and take everything I want, regardless of whether I deserve it or not... This is what I expect from myself."

This was exactly what he was thinking deep down.

That's enough for today. Agnes may have reached her limit now and can only wait until later to repair the relationship between the two.

And he believes that he has plenty of opportunities.

After a moment of silence, he put aside his quarrel with Agnes and returned his attention to his work.

He opened the letter that had just been sent from Mesonei at the rear today, and the first letter was a letter from Rome written by his great-uncle Joseph Fish Cardinal.

In the letter, the cardinal reported to him the good news he had been looking forward to for a long time-under the operation of Cardinal Fish, the Pope of Rome had publicly praised his righteous deeds in his sermons.

What's more, unexpectedly, His Majesty's words were so advanced that he was a little flattered by himself—you must know that not everyone is qualified to assume the role of "Christian example".

Obviously, the Pope had his own purpose, but the objective fact was that he kept his promise, so Aigron was very satisfied with the Pope's performance.

In the agreement he had previously negotiated with the Pope’s representative, Cardinal Vittorio Esposito, both parties implemented it in stages. Now that the Pope is delivering a sermon, it means that a new stage can be entered.

In the letter, his great-uncle also told him that Cardinal Vittorio Esposito wanted his illegitimate son to participate and get a share of the pie.

Of course, Aigron readily accepted this request - the cardinal did this out of his own interests, but objectively speaking, it also showed that he was now more and more optimistic about himself.

In other words, this is a visual proof that the stock "Bonaparte" is now bullish and some people are willing to invest.

As for Aigron, who is in the initial stage, of course he chooses to accept all comers. After all, he is currently weak and naturally accepts all comers.

So, he immediately drafted a reply letter, instructing his great-uncle to continue to build a good relationship with the cardinal. As for the illegitimate child, he immediately prepared a generous gift and tried to win over him.

After processing this letter, he opened another document, and this time, he was a little more excited than before.

The content of the letter is actually very simple - Metternich decided to send his confidant, Mr. Friedrich Genz, to serve as ambassador to Istanbul.

Although the news was brief, to Aiglon, it was nothing less than thunder on the ground.

Of course he could see that there was only one reason for Metternich to do this - that is, the situation in Turkey was about to undergo surprising changes, and he needed to respond with all his strength.

Although he is very confident, he is also self-aware. He knows that the so-called "amazing change" is certainly not because of himself - so there is only one answer.

The Tsar is about to send out troops.

And that was all he had to wait for.

For him, all the fuss in Greece is not for the Greeks themselves, but for him to get what he wants in the upcoming international turmoil.

Of course, at present, he cannot control the so-called international situation at all. He can only try his best to follow the trend, stir up the situation, and then pray that the situation will move in the direction he hopes.

And now... he has indeed waited for the moment he wanted most.

After all, the Tsar could not restrain his ambition and decided to use victory in foreign wars to wash away the stain of suppressing domestic progressives.

Although he had a foresight about history, the feeling of witnessing history in person at this moment was completely different - he knew that he had already affected the trajectory of history in a small way.

In the future, he will definitely do more.

He had a deep hatred that could not be resolved with the Romanov royal family, but at this moment, he only felt grateful to the young tsar.

Since the Tsar wants to take action, he must act even more quickly - because the more glorious his side is, the more reason he has to be watched. People who are frightened by the Tsar's actions will eventually discover their own value.

Take action! He clenched his fists and said to himself.

He had rested enough, and it was time to continue marching. If he could win another glorious victory before the Tsar sent troops, then the world would know who had done his best for the liberation of the Greeks.

Just like that, Eggron stood up and went to take a bath full of ambition to wash off the mud and dust from hunting.

--------------------------------------------------

While Egron was excited about the new news, Teresa, who stayed in Mesone, was also excited about the news from Austria.

However, she is different from Aigron. After receiving her father's letter, she was happiest with another piece of news——

Metternich has implicitly expressed on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor that he is willing to admit her marriage to Aigron.

Although when she left home, she was already prepared to break with Austria, but deep down in her heart, of course she still held an incomparable attachment to her motherland and her family, and she hoped more than anyone else to be able to Royal approval.

And now, what she dreamed of finally fell into her hands, what could make her happier than this?

Of course, she also knew that this belated blessing was definitely not without any conditions.

Metternich hoped that he and His Royal Highness could act according to his wishes.

However, she is not disgusted with this request. After all, they originally planned to obtain and objectively need the secret support of the great powers.

Therefore, it doesn't matter if you compromise with Metternich temporarily.

With this in mind, she summoned Captain Foresty who was with her.

"Your Highness, do you have any orders?" The captain saluted her as soon as he saw her, and then asked again.

"Yes, sir, I have a task for you -" Theresa was not polite, but went directly to the topic, "I just received my father's heart, and Prime Minister Metternich has now sent a new Ambassador to Turkey, he will take office immediately. I hope you can go to Istanbul with my letter and my father’s certificate, and then meet him as an Austrian, so that we can keep in touch in the future.”

The captain was stunned for a moment.

What he cared about was not the danger of this trip, but he didn't expect that he would have a relationship with the Austrian authorities again.

"You...you mean that Your Excellency the Prime Minister has forgiven His Highness?"

Teresa didn't answer, just smiled and nodded, but she couldn't hide her pride and excitement.

"That's great!" blurted the captain.

As an Austrian, although he reluctantly served Aiglon because of His Highness Theresa, deep down in his heart he still hoped to serve his motherland.

"Next, I am relying on you. Please remember that your actions are very important to us." Teresa warned again, "In order to show due sincerity, I will give a gift to Mr. Ambassador. Please Please pass them along."

"Okay, I understand..." The captain nodded repeatedly, and then hesitated, "However, His Highness has given me the important task of guarding the treasure. If I leave, will it be okay with you?"

"Of course it doesn't matter." Teresa replied proudly and confidently, "Now we have our army here, and everything is under my control, so don't worry."

Then, she frowned slightly, "It's His Highness's side... I really miss it."

"He must be thinking of you too, Your Highness," replied the captain. "In my opinion, you will be able to get what you want, and I will do my best for it."

"Thank you." Teresa smiled and saluted him, watching the captain turn and leave.
