Eagle’s Glory

"I think from the bottom of my heart that with your help, His Majesty will achieve great things more easily."

Agnes listened to Chanel's words quietly, her expression gloomy and uncertain.

In fact, she has heard this kind of words from Edgar countless times before. Edgar's words are much more powerful than Chanel, but they can't impress her. cliche.

However, she could also feel that Chanel was extremely sincere to her, so she couldn't bear to speak too harshly.

"Chanel, I admire your loyalty to him, but... I'm not interested in domestic politics at all, and I don't want to cause trouble to my parents for no reason, so I can't consider joining your master's command for the time being. ." After a moment of silence, Agnes replied in a low voice, "However, I have remembered your words, and I will think about it in the future."

Given Agnes' usual temperament towards people, her willingness to reply like this was considered a very polite and euphemistic refusal.

Chanel knew this, but still couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

In addition to being disappointed, she is also a little curious - so, what is the face of the entanglement between His Majesty and Miss Agnes?

If it is a friend, it seems to be more than that; but if there is any intimacy, judging from her performance, it does not seem to be very similar.

No... it was His Majesty's wishful thinking, but it didn't work, right? A ridiculous idea suddenly flashed through her mind.

She couldn't believe it, because in her mind, the young man was so charismatic and charismatic, and he should have no disadvantage for girls - Sophie and Teresa were so fond of him, which clearly proved this. a little.

So how is it possible? Chanel immediately rejected the idea.

However, since the words have already been said, she can't continue.

"Okay...I sincerely hope to see you standing with us the day..." She held back her disappointment and nodded to Agnes.

Because of this little turmoil, the harmonious atmosphere between the two people suddenly dropped. Agnes didn't know what to say for a while, so she was ready to interrupt the conversation.

"Okay Chanel, I think you have a lot to do too...?"

Of course Chanel could hear that it was an expulsion order, so she stood up obediently and saluted Agnes to say goodbye.

But when he was about to leave, Chanel suddenly spoke again. "Miss Agnes, can you grant me another request?"

"Huh?" Agnes felt a little unhappy in her heart, but for Chanel's sake, she nodded, "Please tell me - but if it's the same as before, then let's not talk about it."

"It won't be difficult for you, it's just a little effort for you..." Chanel shook his head, "His Majesty has been upset recently because of the unhappiness of the war, so I invite you to meet him as a friend and solve it for him. If you just give him a few words of comfort, I think it can make him feel much better."

"No." Agnes shook her head subconsciously, "I didn't come here to relieve his boredom."

Chanel kept looking at Agnes, his eyes seemed to ask, "Why not?"

Agnes frowned slightly, as if hesitating for something.

In the depths of her heart, isn't it exactly what she once thought?

Finally, she let out a sigh, then nodded slightly, "Well, since you are like this, then I..."

Perhaps for her, this was also a reason to convince herself.

It was already night, and the cold moon mercilessly fell on this land, silently witnessing the never-ending confrontation and slaughter in the world.

In order to prevent riots caused by noise at night, strict control discipline was implemented in the military camp, so the entire camp has fallen into silence.

In this silence, Aegron, escorted by the guards, returned to his tent.

Throughout the day, while discussing the next strategy with his confidants, he personally inspected Edmund Dantès and the death squad he selected, which was extremely busy.

Therefore, after he returned to the camp, exhausted physically and mentally, he just wanted to lie down and get some sleep under the care of Chanel.

However, to Aegron's surprise, Chanel was not here at this time.

He was suddenly a little angry, because he told Chanel not to run around, so as not to cause a commotion, but he did not expect that she did not obey the order.

In addition to being angry, he is more wondering why Chanel, who has always been obedient, suddenly does not listen to his own words

His doubts were quickly resolved, because the tent's curtain was quickly lifted.

"Your Majesty~" Chanel saluted Aegron with a smile on his face.

Agron didn't answer, but looked at her suspiciously.

Because, with the help of the dim oil light, he clearly saw that it was not only Chanel who was standing outside, but also the girl in men's clothing.

"Agnes?" he exclaimed. "It's actually you!?"

"Is it so strange to see me?" Agnes asked angrily.

"That's not..." Agron responded, and then made an inviting gesture, "Please come in."

So the two girls walked in.

The area of ​​the tent is not large, so after they all came in, the distance between the three of them became quite close, and they were able to watch each other's eyes.

In particular, Agnes, with embarrassment, a little joy, and forced indifference in her expression, was really wonderful.

"May I know what happened?" Agron asked with a smile.

"You'll have to ask your good maid about this—" Agnes replied sullenly, "She kept telling me that you've been very troubled recently, and I hope I can do my best as a friend to solve it for you. "

Aegron looked at Chanel, but Chanel just smiled without saying a word, and bowed his knees to salute him.

Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Aegron probably understood.

——Chanel must have exaggerated how troubled she was in front of Agnes, and then asked Agnes to come over and say something nice to herself.

"Thank you." After understanding it, he nodded and thanked Agnes, "I appreciate this, don't worry, I'm not going to be decadent because of this, on the contrary, I'm full of fighting spirit now."

"Yeah, I know that with your willpower, a momentary setback will never knock you down." Agnes nodded lightly, "But even so, I still want to tell you that I sincerely hope Wishing you a victory and wishing you all the best in the future, leading Chanel, my brother-in-law, and so many others who have followed you to greatness. I have witnessed your victory, and all those who fought for victory And the price, which I believe has meaning, and you are the one who gave it meaning.”

Aegron was slightly moved.

He had heard a lot of similar flattery, but when it came out of Agnes' mouth, it seemed to have a special incentive, which lifted his originally gloomy spirit.

"I will... Agnes, I will never let you down, let everyone down," he answered loudly.

"That's good." Agnes nodded with a smile.

Then, the two fell into silence, and of course Chanel did not interrupt.

In the end, it was Aegron who broke the silence.

"Agnes, can you go out for a walk with me?" he suggested.

"Huh?" Agnes was obviously surprised, and then she shook her head subconsciously.

Aegron understood that at this time, she must have remembered the "unpleasant" memories of the last time we hunted together.

"I know, there are still some small grudges between us, but I don't think it will affect our friendship." In order not to shake her, he immediately continued. "Since you are here to comfort me, I also accept this kindness. I just want to walk with you under the moonlight to dispel the last dark cloud in my heart... Can you give me this honor again?"

Under his sincere gaze, Agnes finally smiled helplessly, "If you don't think it's time to go to bed, then I'll walk with you a few steps."

Agron gave Chanel a wink, and Chanel understood and nodded with a smile. Then she walked out of the tent first, letting the guards spread out a little, leaving enough space for Agron and Agnes to walk. .

Next, the two walked out of the camp and strolled into the open space outside.

Because the tent was set up on the high ground, when they strolled on this hillside, they could see the night view of the land.

Agron didn't speak, and Agnes just wanted to accompany him to relieve his boredom, so he didn't take the initiative to speak, so the two of them circled the small hill under the night sky.

After walking for a short distance, Aegron stopped, and then he stood on a slope, his eyes moved up and down, and he had a panoramic view of it all.

Looking up, it is the nearly round moon and the bright stars that fill the sky.

Looking down, there are star bonfires in the camp and the fortress in the distance.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" he seemed to be asking people, but also himself.

"It's more sad than beautiful." Agnes replied calmly, "We, and everything, are just those tiny dusts under the sky..."

"It's not like you would say something." Aegron was a little surprised.

"Then what do you think is what I should say?" Agnes asked rhetorically, "I do have a lot of confidence in myself, but I know...some things can't be shaken by personal ability alone, I have experienced fate The frenzy, I have seen my family up and down with my own eyes, and I can only admit its power."

"So, instead of waiting to be torn apart by the frenzy, or going with the flow, why not choose to ride the frenzy?" Aegron asked back, "Fate has not only been ruthless to you, but also to me, but so what? I'm not convinced, I I will never admit defeat! If I am doomed, at least I have to bet myself before I admit defeat. I will live happily, or I will perish happily. I will not regret either outcome. ."

Then, he stretched out his hand to the fortress of Methorongion shone with dense and dim lights in the distance.

"If there is something in my way, just smash it with one foot! I treat my friends and my enemies with the utmost seriousness. Believe it or not? Today I am stirring up trouble in Greece. Rain, after a while, all France will have to suffer because of me?"

Agnes did not answer for a while, because she knew in her heart that what the young man said might come true.

After saying these arrogant words from the bottom of his heart, Aegron did not speak for a while, but looked at the earth again.

The earth under the dark night is so small, yet so lonely, as if it was abandoned by the gods.

But the young man firmly believed in his heart that the gods never abandoned him, that his fate was in his own hands, and the whole world would be waiting to be shaped by him.

And at this moment, the girl who stays by his side will also become an indispensable part of this shaped world.

Yes... the company at this moment is destined to be short-lived, but he doesn't want to lose it, so he wants to turn this shortness into eternity.

If you miss the time with Agnes, why not keep her by your side?

I've lost too much, so I refuse to lose, hate to lose... yes, I can't lose any more.

He suddenly felt a little sore in his nose.

Then he slowly raised his head and looked at Agnes.

In the moonlight, his eyes flickered with an eye-popping light, like a lit torch.

"Thank you, Agnes..." he said leisurely.

"You... what's wrong with you?" Agnes suddenly felt uneasy for no reason.

"You just did something stupid, Agnes." Agron smiled and replied softly to her.

"What? Stupid?!" Agnes was instantly furious. "I came to comfort you with good intentions, but you said that to me?"

"No, that's not what I meant—" Aegron shook his head, "I mean, you showed me such kindness, but it made me... make me even more reluctant to part with you."

As soon as these words came out, Agnes' face changed suddenly.

She took a step back, then looked at the young man defensively. "What do you want to do?"

"Come on, Agnes...you know it's pointless." Agron shook his head.

Although he didn't want to do anything, he didn't know why, he wanted to tease Agnes on purpose.

So, he straightened his face and made a dangerous expression. "Don't forget, I can do whatever I want here."

"Are you crazy?" Agnes frowned.

"Am I wrong? I have thousands of subordinates here, and they obey all my orders, and they don't complain even if I let them die - so why can't I do whatever I want? My will is everything here, dear lady. Besides...even if we have a fair fight, can you win against me? So, stop making senseless resistance and face this starry sky with me..."

Under his smiling gaze, Agnes found a little fear in her heart.

Just like what he said just now, there are thousands of people here, and they are all obedient to him. If he really wants to do something to himself, it is almost impossible for him to resist.

Unless you knock him out now...

So she was already thinking about how to knock down this young man.

However, the last time she hit this young man hard was because she caught the other party off guard, but this time the other party must have been prepared, so of course she won't let her succeed again easily.

It would be much better if she had a sword in her hand, but now she doesn't have any weapons.

If she had to fight with all her strength, she would definitely not be able to beat the young man in front of her...

Under the moonlight, the young man's half-smiling face, with a little sneering, seemed to say, "It's useless to struggle, just listen to me."

This handsome face is so hateful.

Why am I stupid enough to follow Chanel's words and run over to provoke him by myself? For a moment, her heart was filled with regret and regret.

Just as Agnes was on guard and was secretly frightened, she found that the young man from a few years ago suddenly burst out laughing.

"Agnes, you look so cute now, just like a cat whose tail was pinched...hahahaha..."

Laughing, he stayed where he was, without making any movement.

Just as Agnes was afraid, Agron knew that if he used his own strength now, Agnes would definitely be powerless to resist himself, and he could really do whatever he wanted.

But he didn't want to do it, because he knew that if he did it, even if he succeeded this time, he would never die with Agnes, and there would never be any possibility of restoring the relationship in the future.

He has always been a long-sighted person, and certainly will not sacrifice future benefits for a moment's pleasure.

What he wanted was her, not a moment of pleasure.

"Why do you have to put on such a wary face to me? Do you think I will do something to you and use violence against you? No... Agnes, you underestimate me too much." Agron looked at her with a smile, " For a person like me, using my own violence is self-defeating, let alone doing this to a young girl, I will not let myself lose my due dignity. I... I will use a higher level of violence, Let everything work as I wish in the end.”

Without waiting for Agnes to ask, he continued, "Humans have created civilizations, and then nations, and assigning power to a small group of people is undoubtedly unfair, but it is the only viable option. Only in this way can the country continue to operate... The so-called power and authority are just means to maintain this mode of operation. Human beings are great and can create all unimaginable creations; but human beings are also small and sad Yes, because they can only shelter themselves under the country's wings. Even if they are oppressed or even killed, they can do nothing. They can only shiver and wait for the advent of peace and prosperity! Agnes, in the face of power, you chose to follow the crowd and wait for fate And I want to tell you that I chose to grab the power into my own hands, since someone is destined to be crushed into powder, then I choose myself to never be one of them!"

After saying this, he looked at Agnes proudly again, "You can hide now because my authority is not enough, but one day I will get all of France, and I will dominate everything in this country... ...then you won't be able to hide, I'll hold you in my arms, care for you and kiss you, do all the things I want to do now that I'm not doing, I'll do it, Agnes, Please give me some time! I'm sure it won't be long!"
