Eagle’s Glory

Chapter 467: 88, face-to-face opportunity

"what?"

The news revealed by Aigron shocked Edmund Dantes even more.

He has always had a good impression of Miss Agnes, admiring her skills as well as her character and demeanor, so it is difficult for him to accept the reality of being an enemy of Miss Agnes.

However, for Edmund Dantes, now he is a member of a group, his honor and future are engraved in this group, and His Majesty is the leader of the team, so His Majesty is assassinated against him His greatest provocation and attack, he absolutely cannot tolerate.

Even Miss Agnes, if she is involved in this conspiracy, must pay her due price.

But in the bottom of his heart, he still didn't quite believe that Miss Agnes would do such a thing.

"Miss Agnes...Is she also involved in the assassination plot?" He asked the young man in a low voice with a bit of luck, "It shouldn't be, right? I think...she shouldn't be interested in politics at all."

"There is currently no actual evidence to prove whether she is involved." Agron shook his head, then replied, "But I think the same as you, Agnes is the kind of person who doesn't like to play tricks, if she wants to kill me, Will walk up to me and try to end my life with a sword, instead of going around in circles for her master to come and kill me, no...she's not the type to play tricks."

Seeing Aigron say this, Edmund Dantes also felt very agreeable and gratified in his heart. "I think so... But maybe her family was involved in this conspiracy."

He couldn't bear to be an enemy of Agnes, but Edmund Dantes had no feelings for Agnes' father and brother, so it didn't matter to speculate in his arms. "Duke Nordrien is the favorite of the false king. In order to please the king, he is very motivated to find Miss Agnes' teacher to assassinate you—"

Aigron thought for a while, and felt that this conjecture was reasonable, but he still had strong doubts in his heart.

"This is also possible, but... I still think that the mastermind behind her may be someone else. After all, if the pseudo-king wants to kill me, there are many other ways, and he may not think of assassination to solve the problem, and Other enemies with ulterior motives may also want to kill me and put the blame on the false king."

Edmund thought that was true.

"Anyway, Edmund, it's pointless for us to speculate here now, and we can't get any results. I entrust it to you. After you go to Paris, use Bianca as a breakthrough to investigate the truth of the assassination, for me Find the mastermind behind the scenes, no matter who it is, I will make him pay the price he deserves." Aigron said, his face became hideous, and his tone became extremely fierce, "Although I seek the throne, but I was fighting for my family in an open and honest way, but someone secretly murdered me and almost killed me! I have to wash the snow with my own hands!"

He has always been arrogant, and for more than a year, others have been submissive to him, which has contributed to that kind of arrogance. Because of this, he became more and more angry at the assassination plot, and he had to take revenge and go back.

"Okay, Your Majesty, I will definitely check it out for you." Edmund Dantès agreed.

After venting his anger, Aegron turned his words and became amiable again. "You've been to Paris once. Although you haven't stayed long, you must already know the most basic things. You don't need me to say more. I have only one thing to explain to you—"

Edmund Dantès immediately sat upright and listened to His Majesty's instructions.

"You went to Paris as an aristocrat, but I think your current title is Count of Monte Cristo, which is really inconvenient to use there. You need to change your identity." Aigron expressed his thoughts, "A follower The Bonaparte family, an identity that has absolutely nothing to do with the Duchy of Ioannina."

In the original book "The Count of Monte Cristo", when the Count of Monte Cristo came to Paris, he used this title all the time, and then used the rare lavish style at that time, which aroused the curiosity and envy of the Parisian social circles. He quickly gained the status that everyone looked up to.

However, this time, unlike the original, "Count of Monte Cristo" is no longer an obscure title. In previous Greek wars, especially after the founding of the Duchy of Ioannina, Edmund Dantesto After saddling Aigron, and now an important figure in the Principality, he inevitably appeared in the public eye.

His real name has never been used, so not many people may know it, but the title "Count of Monte Cristo" must have appeared in the archives of various governments.

In other governments, I am afraid not many people care about the nobles of such an ordinary small state, but in France, the government of the Kingdom of France must have been trying its best to pay attention to the situation of the Principality of Ioannina, so the Count of Monte Cristo must be Already known by many people.

In this case, if someone came to Paris under the name of "Count of Monte Cristo", he would be greeted not in the living room of high society, but in a prison cell.

Therefore, he cannot travel to Paris with this title.

This really destroyed the beauty in Aigron's heart, but the so-called "beauty" was definitely not as important as Edmund Dantes' safety, so Aigron could only regretfully destroy the original book and let Edmund Dantes change it. An other identity travels to Paris.

Edmund Dantès obviously understood Aegron's concerns, so he didn't have any resistance - to him, the Count of Monte Cristo was just an outsider, and it was no problem to temporarily seal it up.

"Then what identity do you think I should use?"

"You have to thank my mother for this—" Aigron smiled, and then explained to him, "My mother is the ruler of the Duchy of Parma, and she can legally create a series of documents to create a person who didn't exist before. , and there is no flaw in the document. Before, my mother created an identity for me in order to help me; and this time I stayed with her when I was recovering. After considering your situation, I went back to Ask her to help and issue a supporting document for you."

Then, he looked at Edmund again, "Edmund, in the next period of time, you will be called Earl of Bellevue, you are a collateral member of a famous local family, with a fortune, come to Paris to seek pleasure. Have fun, and see the world by the way—what do you think?"

Edmund Dantes was surprised and delighted to see the problem solved so easily.

"That's very nice, Your Majesty! I'll do what you've given me."

After a pause, he whispered again, "It's all thanks to Mrs. I'm very grateful for the help she provided me."

Edmund felt that he should be grateful for the help provided by Queen Louisa, but he also knew that the relationship between His Majesty and his mother was relatively cold, and her current status was too embarrassing.

Queen Mother? Certainly not, she is just the Grand Duchess of Austria.

So he just vaguely used "Mrs." to take Louisa, and Aigron didn't care about his name.

Speaking of this, Edmund suddenly thought of a very serious problem, and his face suddenly became ugly again.

"Your Majesty, you have indeed solved the biggest problem by giving me a new identity, but another problem has arisen as a result-" Edmund Dantes frowned, looking very embarrassed, "The last time I came to Paris, , has used the pseudonym Count of Monte Cristo, and also met Miss Agnes' father and attended a banquet held by him. Many people attended the banquet at that time. I think many people already know it. The title Count of Monte Cristo—if they recognize me next time, they will probably think of something else."

Hearing Edmund's words, Aigron's brows could not help but wrinkle.

"Why is it her again! You have to give me extravagance!".

"Miss Agnes also had good intentions at the time. She wanted me to have a foothold in Paris. If I could get the help of the Duke at that time, it would have been a great benefit for me. No one thought that things would develop like this. ." Edmund defended Agnes in a low voice.

Aegron also knew that the other party was right, so he could only sigh helplessly.

No matter what, it was done, and he could only find a way to make up for it.

"Don't have anything to do with their family anymore, especially don't let the duke see you again. He may have noticed something at the moment. After all, he may have known something about the title of Count of Monte Cristo through the relationship in the government." After pondering for a while, Aigron expressed his opinion, "Also, you have to dress up a little and try not to make people recognize you. Fortunately, those guests only met you once, and time has passed. Years, they should have almost forgotten about it... As long as you stay out of the way and don't meet people easily, you shouldn't be recognized."

Edmund himself thought so.

He carefully recalled the scene of attending the Duke's banquet at that time. He could not remember the faces and voices of the guests, and everyone was just a vague shadow - so correspondingly, the other guests probably treated him the same way. of.

No, one of those guests was an exception.

Fernand, or the current Earl of Morcerf, his face was something Edmund could never forget.

A picture suddenly appeared in Edmund's mind - at that dance, the shameless man who stole his fiancée and put him in prison for twelve years, was wearing a new uniform that day. With the medal, Chunfeng proudly swaggered through the market at the Duke's banquet.

His face was full of happiness, and his flattering smile was full of pride, yes, how could he have no choice?

Relying on the fact that he escaped with General Bourmont before the Battle of Waterloo, he was favored by Bourmont, gained a backer in the army, and rose steadily; by virtue of his ability to speculate and flatter, he was also favored in the upper class. In order to gain favor, he could enter the duke’s living room as a distinguished guest, and also pretended to be a pedigree, and obtained a title of “Count” recognized by everyone; relying on deceit and rhetoric, he fabricated the lie that he was dead, and then married his own Fiancee and gave birth to a child...

The person who harmed you the most not only did not receive retribution, but lived a very nourishing life. There is nothing more hated in life than this.

Thinking of this, thinking of his face, the Count of Monte Cristo suddenly felt that his throat was blocked, and his breathing became rapid, as if he was about to have an epileptic seizure.

If it was someone else, seeing the always calm Edmund Dantès turned into this ghost, he would be terrified—however, Aigron, who was standing in front of him at the moment, was the person who knew him best in the world.

"Don't be nervous, Edmund." Aigron raised his hand and patted Edmund's shoulder lightly, "It's good to have hatred in our hearts, the anger of vengeance will give us endless motivation, but hatred dominates our minds It's not wise, it will only hinder your revenge."

In Aigron's calm words, Edmund Dantès gradually came to his senses.

"Sorry... Your Majesty, I'm too rude!" He apologized to Aegron in shame, "I just remembered that one of my biggest enemies met me at that banquet, but of course the two of us didn't. Greeted, and I'm sure he didn't recognize me, but if we meet next time, I think it's a hidden danger after all."

"If you behave like this next time you see him, then it's not a hidden danger. Everyone will notice your abnormality—" Aegron replied calmly.

Edmund lowered his head in shame, then gritted his teeth, "I will try to avoid him, if I really see him again, I will try my best to control myself, Your Majesty... It is not only hatred that supports me, but also For your loyalty, and your unparalleled enthusiasm for your cause, I will not let hatred affect my work for you, please believe me."

In fact, during that trip to Paris, Edmund Dantes met not only Fernand but also another of his enemies, the now-famous banker Donglars.

He can be sure that Danglars must be much more sensitive to the "Count of Monte Cristo", because the "Count of Monte Cristo" found him that time and specially sold him precious gems in exchange for a large sum of money.

For a banker, this kind of thing is never forgotten.

Therefore, Edmund felt that for his own safety, he must try to stay away from these two enemies first, and no matter how much hatred accumulated in his heart, he must first put it aside.

—Anyway, as long as His Majesty's career is successful, he will have the opportunity to clear up the hatred that has accumulated for more than ten years.

"Okay, now that you know what you're doing, then I'm relieved. Edmund, you've never let me down, and I think it will be the same this time." Seeing Edmund's reaction, Aegron was satisfied nodded.

Finally, he said his last request, "When you get to Paris, you can go to find a well-known banker named Jean-Antoine Poncena, who relied on my uncle Prince Lucien to get his money. Started, and according to my uncle he's always been grateful, so maybe he'll give us some help - Edmund, we need the help of this kind of people, the more the better. We need to take over the French upper classes, purge, Weaken some of it and make it work for us, not destroy it."
