Eagle’s Glory

"Miss Agnes..."

Prince Charlie's smile did not make Agnes feel so cordial, but made her a little puzzled.

Of course, she knew the identity of the other party, but she knew even more that she had never had any contact with His Royal Highness the Prince in her life and had no interaction, so she couldn't understand why the other party suddenly greeted her.

And in such cases.

However, doubt is doubt, and the education she received since childhood made her unable to respond.

"Is there any order, sir?" she asked friendly, but apparently keeping a cold distance.

Her indifference did not make the prince retreat, on the contrary, he smiled more kindly.

"Miss Agnes, I know that because of your status, you don't want to be too involved in us, and would rather be a bystander. But... at this festive moment, are you willing to show a little bit of your style? "

Agnes frowned slightly, not understanding what the other party meant.

So she just looked at each other and waited for the following. "What do you mean?"

"I've always heard that your swordsmanship is very good - it's just that ordinary people say that, and even His Majesty, who has always been easy to praise others, is full of praise for you, so I can't help but feel curious." Prince Explain quickly.

Although this was a compliment to herself, Agnes couldn't help but feel annoyed when she heard him mention 'Your Majesty'.

"So, are you trying to challenge me?" Agnes asked rhetorically.

"I don't dare to..." The prince laughed awkwardly, and waved his hand quickly, "I haven't studied swordsmanship, how could I be your opponent? I'm afraid it's not just that you can make me feel ashamed with a single sword. I just I hope to see you show off your skills..."

"Since you don't want to challenge yourself, how do you want to meet?" Agnes asked again.

"There are naturally some hot-blooded young people among us. They are not convinced by your prestige, so they want to experience your great strength." The prince still replied with a smile, "We are all in high spirits at the banquet now. It's a shame it ended like this, so I figured it would be nice if there were any impressive sideshows..."

Agnes was slightly stunned, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

She did not expect that she would receive a challenge at this time.

According to her character, if it was in Paris, she would definitely face the challenge, no matter how many challengers there are, just let the horses come over - but now she is in this place, is it appropriate to do so?

"This is not good..." After a moment of hesitation, Agnes shook her head. "I don't think it's appropriate to do this on such an occasion, so as not to spoil the interest of all of you."

"Aren't you willing?" The prince was obviously disappointed. "Miss Agnes, you must not know that among us, there have always been people full of admiration and admiration for you. If nothing else, the captain of your majesty's guard, Marquis André Davout, once challenged you, Then he failed. He has always been brooding about his failure, so even those of us who haven't seen your work with your own eyes are already full of curiosity and admiration for you..."

The prince's words made Agnes both happy and secretly laughing.

"Mr. Andre Davout once mentioned this to me, but... I really don't remember it anymore. I have experienced many challenges. Even if I win, I will not laugh at any loser. Failure is not a problem. It wears down their dignity. He really doesn't have to be bothered about it."

"That's what he said, but he has already made our curiosity peak, and we really want to see your style." The prince was still reluctant to give up, "You should satisfy our curiosity—"

His relentless pursuit made Agnes suspicious.

"Sir, why are you so insistent? Do you have any personal reason—?"

The Prince gave another embarrassed smirk, and then answered intermittently.

"Well... mainly because I made a bet with Edgar before."

"Edgar?!" Agnes was surprised again, "What did he do with you?"

"We were just chatting at first, and then the topic came to his wife for some reason." The prince looked embarrassed, but in fact, he read out the remarks he had prepared for a long time on purpose, "Edgar put her Madame boasted unparalleled in the world, saying that she was gentle, virtuous and able to run the family business, and that no lady in Paris could compare to her, which I fully agreed with - but later, he boasted that his wife's sister was also unparalleled in the world. , he has no rivals among his peers, and his appearance is also a first-class standout; well, we have no disputes in terms of appearance, but in other aspects I always feel that he may exaggerate a bit, so the two of us quarreled Get up... and finally we made a bet, and I want to see it with my own eyes."

I see! Agnes was instantly furious.

It's Edgar again, how much trouble this guy has caused himself!

However, the prince's remarks suddenly aroused her strong competitive spirit.

She was unwilling to back down under the contempt of others, and she was even more reluctant to back down when the other party mentioned her sister.

The elder sister is naturally unparalleled in the world, how can she be bad as her younger sister?

Well, since you are so ignorant, I will show you some color!

After some thought, she finally nodded.

"Okay... Since you invited me so kindly, I'm really embarrassed to decline. However, I think that since this is a festive time, we'd better pay attention to our sense of proportion, so as not to disappoint everyone."

"Of course, of course!" Seeing Agnes let go, the prince was instantly overjoyed.

Agnes couldn't see a glimmer of triumph in the corner of his eye.

That's right, that's what he and Edgar have crafted--

Before, he had wooed Edgar to deal with the "Austrian girl" together, but it was a pity that Edgar slipped and left without telling the truth, and he could only sigh helplessly; Thinking of it, just today, Edgar took the initiative to find him, and asked him to cooperate, to support Agnes, and to sing opposite Princess Teresa.

Hearing this proposal, the prince was overjoyed immediately.

He has always had a problem in his heart, that is, because of his negligence, he was caught by Princess Teresa. He could only endure for a while and bowed down to Her Royal Highness. A member of the dignified Bonaparte family, the cousin of His Majesty, should be restrained by a little girl, what a shame?

He was always looking for a way out, and Edgar's proposal was exactly what he wanted.

Although the marriage between His Majesty and Princess Teresa seems to be a certainty and cannot be changed, there is never any rule that the monarch of France can only love one person - even on the contrary, the monarchs of all dynasties are indulgent, they The queen is just a mascot in the court.

If His Majesty also abides by this "law of history", then he can find a chance to escape.

After all, in his capacity, what if he was greedy for some money? This was originally their family's money. The money and land that Emperor Napoleon gave his brothers back then was much richer than this.

Now Teresa is holding him, but if His Majesty loves anything else, what can this little Austrian girl do to herself? As long as His Majesty's "beloved" is willing to intercede for him, then His Majesty will just laugh at such "little things", and he doesn't have to be afraid of anything at all.

After thinking about it, this strategy of drawing wages from the bottom of the pot is the most once and for all.

Moreover, recently, while busy with the war, the prince has never relaxed to inquire about the news around His Majesty. He can naturally know that His Majesty was very close to this Miss Agnes before, and he was very close to the fire. Princess Teresa was furious and called Chanel over.

Because of this information, the prince immediately hit it off with Edgar after Edgar joined the door, and the two immediately reached a consensus to "resolutely support Miss Agnes".

Although the remaining time is limited, it is enough for the two of them to arrange.

After the banquet was held, the prince kept watching, and when he judged that the fire was right, he went to Agnes and started their plan.

Sure enough, everything went well. According to Edgar's prepared remarks, he easily incited Agnes.

Although he talked with Agnes for the first time today, he immediately discovered that this girl has a bad temper, aloofness and indifference, but she does not have so many hearts and is easy to be guided by others, especially the relationship with her family.

This is great! He needs to have such a person by His Majesty's side.

If the plan comes true, then as long as he flatters her in the future, then he will have a strong backer in the future, and His Majesty will never be so strict with himself.

"Miss Agnes, please wait a moment, I will arrange it right away." Because he was in a particularly good mood, the prince said goodbye to Agnes graciously and returned to where he was standing.

As he walked, he made a secret gesture to Edgar, who had been observing the situation not far away.

Seeing the Prince's gesture, Edgar also smiled slightly.

Although His Majesty has set strict conditions for him, he is just a small test, and the situation can easily develop in the direction he needs.

Now, everything is ready, just watch the final performance...

For a moment, Edgar suddenly enjoyed the feeling of "everything under control".

However, after a moment of joy, he soon fell into sorrow again.

Looking at the officers dressed up at the moment, he suddenly misses Paris very much, misses those gorgeous **** and those ladies and ladies dressed up, that is the stage he is really happy to ride on.

This is also nostalgia... He picked up a glass of wine depressedly, and drank it in one breath.

While everyone was talking, Prince Charles quietly approached Aigron's side.

"Your Majesty!" he whispered.

"Is something wrong, my cousin?" Agron asked in surprise.

"Today's banquet was very grand and very successful. I think everyone was very happy." The prince said in a complimenting tone, "Because of this, I think it's a pity to end here, I think it's better to arrange some sideshows. "

"A sideshow?" Aegron was a little surprised, but soon became interested again, "Since you said that, then you must have an idea - come on, I'd like to hear it."

"I'm not very creative myself, but I heard a suggestion from Edgar," replied the Prince.

When he answered like this, he could clearly feel that a look was swept over him—no doubt, that look was naturally cast from time to time by Princess Teresa who was standing next to Aegron.

He was a little uneasy in his heart, but since this time has come, it is pointless for him to hesitate any more, so it is better to do it all the way.

"Oh? Edgar's proposal?" When Aigron heard this, he vaguely felt something in his heart, but he was still a little curious, "What is it?"

"Edgar has been complimenting his wife and sister's skills here before, and it seems like no one can match it except you... So I didn't quite believe it, so we made a bet and let Agnes today Show your skills and see if he blows so hard." The prince explained first, and then encouraged Aegron, "Your Majesty, you see, everyone is in high spirits today, and everyone is in high spirits. If that's the case, why do we Why not make it a little more interesting and make everyone happy? I believe that as long as Miss Agnes makes a move, everyone will be very happy, no matter who wins or loses."

The more he talked about it, the more the prince felt the chills on his body, but he still bit the bullet and finished.

After the prince finished speaking, Aigron suddenly realized.

It turned out that Edgar used this method to prevent them from communicating——

Fun, fun.

He couldn't help but smile, then nodded heavily.

"It sounds very good. I haven't seen Agnes take action for a long time. If there is a chance to see you again, it can indeed be regarded as a sideshow. I believe that the same is true for others - just, is Miss Agnes willing? ?"

"She is willing, even eager to try, after all, she is willing to prove herself, and she is also happy to make you and everyone present happy." The prince replied pointedly.

"That's good—" Agron nodded again.

And this also means that the prince has the authorization he wants.

So, he immediately walked to the middle of the crowd and shouted loudly.

"Everyone!"

After everyone stopped talking and focused their attention on himself, the prince immediately continued, "Today is a moment of celebration, a moment that we will always remember. It would be a pity if there were only wine and music. So... ...I propose to Your Majesty that a side activity should be held. This side activity is..."

He deliberately lengthened his voice, and after everyone had had enough of their appetites, he spoke again. "Let a beautiful lady who is proficient in swordsmanship compete with her challenger! Since our soldiers live by swords, today, let's use swords to witness our glory!"

Everyone first looked at each other in dismay, and then they were immediately infected by the prince's passion.

They have already drank a lot of wine, and their blood is surging at this time.

"Okay!"

"Great!"

The cheers came one after another, and people all agreed to move out of the way, crowding into the surrounding corners, leaving an open space in the middle.

This is the stage for girls.
