Eagle’s Glory

"So, as a friend, do you agree that even if each other has secrets, they should respect each other and leave room for it?"

After speaking, Princess Teresa looked at Agnes solemnly, waiting for her reply.

"That's natural!" Agnes replied without thinking. "As friends, we should respect each other."

After answering, Agnes' smile suddenly froze again.

Because she suddenly thought of it again at this time, the young man from before also used the rhetoric of "being a friend" to deliberately fool herself, and then coerced herself to forgive his frivolity and coerce herself to act according to his will.

These two are really a natural pair, and they even play the same words! Agnes thought.

It was because she recalled the "lessons" from the beginning that she, who had never had any scheming, couldn't help but feel vigilant at this moment.

After all, it was painful enough to experience the lesson once, and she didn't want to repeat the same mistake.

Teresa didn't know what Agnes was thinking, but judging from the expression on her face, it was obvious that she was not sincere, so her mood became even lower.

Maybe Agnes didn't respect herself - if it was normal, she wouldn't think so at all, but tonight, after seeing Agnes' performance, Teresa had a rare gaffe, and she felt ashamed in her heart. The shadow made her start to have some doubts about herself.

"When I was in Methoni before, I heard some rumors about you and His Royal Highness." Although she was a little depressed, Teresa forced herself up and continued, "I never believed it. One of the words, because in my mind, you are definitely not that kind of person."

Although she was deliberately euphemistic, Teresa still entered the theme. She hoped that in this way, everyone could end this turmoil with dignity, and Miss Agnes could not lose her dignity.

Although it seems that it is a bit ridiculous to talk about restraint and dignity at this time, this restraint has been engraved in Teresa's soul along with education since she was a child, and she instinctively only wanted to solve the headache in this way. .

However, Agnes' personality was quite different from hers. After hearing Teresa's carefully chosen euphemisms, her heart became a little anxious.

On the one hand, she feels that she has no guilt in her heart and does not need to be humble; on the other hand, her own character is also used to being straight and does not want to go around in circles.

Therefore, she did not pretend to be shy and euphemistically right like those ladies in the social world, but made it clear directly.

"His Royal Highness, I am very grateful for your trust in me, and I also solemnly inform you that I do not know who is spreading these rumors, but they are all malicious rumors, and I have absolutely nothing to do with your fiancé. , and never thought of destroying the relationship between you and him, in fact, I am an innocent victim in this matter, I just want to get out of this trouble!"

Agnes made her stand righteously. Originally, she wanted to say more, accusing herself of being kind but being treated frivolously, but at this moment, she thought of Chanel and herself crying and begging, so she He didn't say anything more, lest Chanel be in a dilemma at that time.

In her opinion, her attitude is enough to prove everything.

For Teresa, however, such words were not enough to prove everything.

She has seen too many insincere lies in the court and in the social arena, and even she herself has to follow social etiquette and lie on different occasions, so if she is decisive, she will instinctively Suspect.

Moreover, the person who informed her was Major Henchy, a soldier handpicked by her father, an upright and upright soldier, and she absolutely did not believe that the major would lie.

And no matter how Agnes denied it, her close relationship with His Royal Highness was a fact before others, how could nothing happen?

But Agnes's resolute attitude also made her difficult.

How should I continue? To refute her face to face and then continue arguing with her, or to call the major or other parties over to confront her and expose her lies?

No, either of these two methods will only make things worse and make everyone irrelevant.

Teresa suddenly became a little overwhelmed - although she had read all kinds of books since she was a child, she really lacked experience in dealing with this issue.

"You really have a direct personality..." After a while, Teresa could only laugh reluctantly, "Okay, since you can express your position like this, that's great, I think the rumors will be quelled as soon as possible, we will later You can also continue to get along as friends-"

Then, as if to lighten the mood, she asked another question, "What are your plans next?"

"I don't have any other plans, just continue to live the same way as before. After everything subsides on your side, I will take Edgar back to China with me." Agnes replied honestly, "As for this period, I will try my best to Keep it low profile so you don't get anyone into trouble."

"It's obvious that you're homesick," Teresa said thoughtfully.

"Yeah, who wouldn't miss their family after being so far away?" Agnes nodded, her eyes also showing a little sadness, "I can't write to my parents here. , they don't know my current situation, they are all old, they should be waiting for me to go home safely."

Perhaps being infected by Agnes, Teresa's eyes suddenly turned red.

"I miss my parents too, they're getting older... and unlike you, I tortured their spirits so badly that if they had any physical problems, I'd take the worst guilt , I don't even know when I can go back to see them."

Hearing her almost mournful confession, Agnes couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic to Teresa.

After all, on the standpoint of "being a daughter", they are completely the same.

"Then do you regret it?" As soon as she asked, she regretted it first.

Now that the boat is done, Princess Teresa is destined to have no chance of turning back. If she really regrets it in her heart, it won't help to ask her, it will only increase the scars in her heart.

Fortunately, at this time, Princess Teresa swept away the sadness in her heart, then raised her head and looked at Agnes with pride.

"Regret? Of course not." She shook her head heavily. "Although I can do stupid things, I'm not a fool without common sense. Before I left Austria, all the pains and sorrows I was destined to have, I had already It was expected, and I know I can bear it, because it is the price I am willing to pay for my pursuit. His Royal Highness has left the road my father prepared for us, which means that I have to take a road that is too dangerous, But that's okay, I'm willing to accept fate's mercy, as long as His Royal Highness goes with me."

Seeing the light in Teresa's eyes, Agnes knew in her heart that her words were all from the heart.

I don't know how that guy is worthy of your affection... she thought to herself.

"Well, I respect other people's choices. Since you are willing to take this road and enjoy it, then I wish you all the best." Agnes can only answer this way.

"Actually, you don't have to sympathize with me so much. I think I am lucky enough compared to most people in the world. Many people work hard and don't even know if they can see the sun tomorrow, but I can. Planning for the next few years and decades... Even if I choose the hardest path myself, at least I still have the title of princess, and I still have close family members to rely on." Princess Teresa suddenly laughed, "But Your Highness It's not the same...

In the past, although he was from an honorable background, he was like a prisoner; although he had a mother and a blood relative like his grandfather, and he was the most honorable person in the world, he never enjoyed family affection! After careful calculation, he is now surrounded by followers and servants, but he still has no relatives. I am the only relative by his side... So I can't leave my Aegron, I want to accompany him all the time, Regardless of whether our family will be on the throne in the future, or will be forced to wander the world, at least His Highness will never experience the despair of being without relatives..."

Teresa's monologue is gentle yet deeply affectionate, so much so that Agnes couldn't help but be deeply moved.

Isn't such tenderness and love a rare treasure in the world?

With such a treasure, you don't know how to be content, what a shameless villain!

In an instant, she was full of anger at the young man again. If it wasn't for her promise to Chanel and her own face, she would definitely have scolded him.

After a moment of hesitation, she took the initiative to speak to Teresa.

"His Royal Highness, I believe that anyone will be moved by what you just said, and I also believe that you will be happy in the future."

"Thank you for your blessing." Teresa nodded with a smile, "Now that I have come here, and get along with my fiancé, I can feel his breath every day, and his every sweet words, So I believe he, like me, sincerely hopes that we will have a happy and perfect family in the future, and a little rumor will never shake the result."

These words are indeed a bit nauseous. Under normal circumstances, Teresa would never be able to easily say this to a third person other than His Highness. It took her a lot of courage to say this in front of Agnes.

And these words of hers are not only the longing in her heart, but also the last warning to Agnes. In her opinion, she has been tolerant everywhere, trying to take care of everyone's face, and Agnes should also know the interest.

In addition, through these heartfelt confessions, she has planted the seeds of guilt in Agnes' heart. She hopes that Agnes can feel the love in her heart and then withdraw with dignity. In this way, this storm has Calm down, and everyone no longer has to worry about it.

Given the effects she's seeing so far, that seems to be the case.

Agnes felt a little embarrassed when she heard this nasty remark, and her face was a little hot.

But deep down, she also had some admiration for Princess Teresa—a girl like her could actually say such words for her love! How affectionate is this...

You can never have such deep affection.

After calming down, she nodded, "I understand."

"Okay, I'm really embarrassed to bother you for so much time. But... being able to say so much in one breath also makes me feel a lot better." Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Teresa didn't want to talk more , so she stood up and said goodbye to Agnes, "Today, please don't tell me what I said...?"

"That's natural, and I'm too embarrassed to tell others~" Agnes blushed slightly.

And Teresa blushed.

"Thank you, see you then... Your Highness is still waiting for me."

After a pause, he seemed to remember something. She added another sentence, "Miss Agnes, I can be a bad person, but I can't be a narrow-minded person, I admit that you are very powerful, very very powerful...even you are part of the world I want to see , but, I also have my persistence, thank you for listening."

===================

In another corner, Aigron quietly listened to Chanel's remarks.

Tears flashed faintly in Chanel's eyes. Obviously, after overhearing Princess Teresa's words just now, her heart was also touched.

"Your Majesty, I feel that I have become a bad person..." After speaking, Chanel gathered up his courage and said.

"Really? Then you're a little late!" Aigron replied with a smile, "Chanel, we've done a lot of bad things so far... I lied, stole, murdered and set fire, and you followed me in committing crimes. Having committed these sins, if so, why should we be afraid of doing more bad things?

There's no need to have a sore conscience now, Chanel, we have to get rid of all the boring mediocrity if we want to be successful. I know you still have a soft heart, it doesn't matter, that's what makes you cute - so just close your eyes and follow my orders, I'll take all the blame and all the sins, and I'll make it too A future that will satisfy you. "

Although Aigron's words sounded quite dangerous, his tone became more and more gentle. To Chanel, it was like a murmur between lovers.

Yes, I am doing bad things, but I am doing bad things with Your Majesty!

There was a strange joy in the girl's heart, and the feeling of guilt that was aching, also disappeared in this gentle whisper.

For her, loyalty to the Empire and His Majesty is higher than the so-called moral principles. As long as His Majesty is willing to work for the restoration of the Empire, then everything he does is right.

"I know, Your Majesty..." Chanel closed his eyes slightly. "Please kiss me."

Aigron didn't speak, just touched her forehead with his lips to reward her for her hard work this time.
