Eagle’s Glory

"Your Majesty, please consider my request... I beg you."

Haidai is not only begging in words, her voice and tone are full of the kind of sadness that people can't bear to refuse, coupled with the small face that still has tears, who would not feel sad for this pitiful appearance Woolen cloth?

At least Aigron relented.

Anyway, there is nothing to lose if you promise her, so just promise.

"Hey... Since Teresa and Chanel have already agreed, what can I say? Well, it's all as you wish - if I go to France, I'll take you with me, now you Are you satisfied?" Aegron could only sigh and formally surrendered to Haidee.

"Your Majesty!" Haide finally got the promise she had been looking for, so she burst into laughter, "Thank you!"

Looking at her like this, Aigron couldn't help but laugh.

Objectively speaking, she has already pinned her fate on my career, so it can be regarded as a kind of trust, right?

"Okay, now that I have promised you, you should do your job well. In the future, you must remember to obey Chanel's words, and don't make her embarrassed-" Agron deliberately said to her with a stern face, "Now Go back, stop rubbing your shoulders, you are already the king of a country, how can you be so rude?"

"I'm the ruler of a country, but I'm also a slave you bought." Haidai replied confidently, "So isn't it natural for me to take care of you like this?"

Aigron laughed dumbly.

In his heart, he has never regarded Haidai as a slave. Although Haidai is his puppet, she has already entered the house and has been recognized as a member of the monarch. In theory, she is even higher than ordinary nobles. He never thought of humiliating Haidai, but instead tried to treat her as politely as possible.

However, since Hai De insisted like this, it seems that there is no problem in enjoying it?

Wouldn't it be more proof of my rank to have a monarch rub my shoulders?

Aigron suddenly felt a little complacent.

"Then... you should go back earlier." Aigron closed his eyes and began to rest.

After receiving His Majesty's permission, Heidi smiled and immediately resumed her "work".

Although her technique is actually very unfamiliar, it is completely incomparable to Chanel, but at this time Aigron was in a very good mood and was tired from the journey, so she fell asleep in a daze, not knowing when Haide left. of.

At the same time as Aigron and Heide arrived, the coronation ceremony was being prepared in an orderly manner. After a few days, the long-awaited day finally arrived.

On this day, almost everyone in Athens was crowded, and everyone crowded around the Celebration Square, trying their best to get closer, so as to be able to see the scene of the king's coronation clearly.

For the Greeks, they not only ushered in a king who came from afar from Germany, but also ushered in the glorious moment when Greece officially appeared on the European continent as an independent country.

Everyone was full of expectations, and some even burst into tears, because they were convinced that this ancient and young nation would make its first cry on this day of national celebration; What has come is a new and prosperous new era. This nation will no longer be trampled and slaughtered by the invaders, but will hold weapons to defend the land where it has grown from generation to generation.

Although the guards dutifully kept the crowd out of the square, they did not act rudely, because they, like the onlookers, were caught up in the passion for the rebirth of the country, many of whom had been independent for many years. I have fought in the army, so my feelings are particularly profound—

The people who survived are just the survivors after years of bloodbath. They have all witnessed the death of their robes and relatives in wars or various killings. So much—and the celebration they witnessed today put a stop to that dark memory from before.

At this moment, everything that has been paid before is worth it, and the people in heaven will rest in peace.

Over time, the crowds in and around the square looked nervously at the road in the distance, waiting for the most important group to arrive.

They were not disappointed. Soon, a group of cavalry escorted several beautifully decorated carriages and slowly appeared in front of the crowd.

This is the carriage of the most distinguished guests at the ceremony. Aigron and Haide are in it. They are naturally the brightest "stars" in this celebration except Prince Otto. Attention.

Among the crowd, many people had come to the place where Prince Otto stayed a few days ago and cheered to the two of them from the balcony, but even so, it did not affect their enthusiasm, they still cheered on both sides, Warmest regards to this pair of distinguished guests.

For these Greeks, they were not just thanking Aegron for his help in the Revolutionary War, they were cheering for the future that followed.

In their view, the Principality of Ioannina is also an Orthodox country and a natural ally of the newborn Greek king, especially when the Turks still rule most of the Balkans and Constantinople. Allies" are especially valuable.

Only when the two countries watch and help each other can they maintain their existence after independence and withstand the threat from the Turks. This is the consensus of almost everyone.

Because of this, Duke Leichstedt and Grand Duchess Heide are even more important. Without their friendship, the mutual help between the two countries would be impossible to talk about.

As if echoing their hearts, Aigron and Heide also frequently greeted the audience on both sides in the carriage to show their deep friendship for the Greek kingdom.

In the midst of the endless cheers, Aigron and Heide came to the center of the square together, and then got off the carriage. They came to the seat of the VIP, and then quietly waited for the arrival of the boy who was scheduled to be crowned.

It didn't take long for the cheers to be louder than before, and Aigron knew that he was here.

Then, as far as he could see, another carriage slowly drove in from outside the square.

This carriage was of a higher specification than the VIPs they were riding just now, and the decoration was more ornate. On the top of the carriage, there was a canopy that imitated the crown—it goes without saying that this was the car that Prince Otto rode.

The speed of the carriage was very slow. Prince Otto stood in the carriage, waving to the people on both sides, and the people respected with wild cheers and flowers. The guards maintained the scene nervously to prevent the people from rushing past. The cordon; on the other side, they also paid attention to the young man who was about to become their king.

As time slowly passed, under Aigron's gaze, the carriage finally came to the center of the square, and then stopped.

Then, Prince Otto walked down from the carriage and stood on the stage.

Because of his young age, he is not very tall, but because he is wearing a formal dress today, coupled with a serious expression and serious demeanor, he looks quite good, with a bit of the majesty of a king.

After all, he is a member of the Wittelsbach family. Let alone his ability, it is not a big problem to rely on his childhood education to play a king.

With the arrival of the king, the celebration officially began.

Aegron is not inexperienced with this kind of celebration - he had already played a coronation ceremony when Heide was canonized as Grand Duchess of Ioannina, but today's scene is undoubtedly much grander than that at the time. .

And these two monarchs have a very deep relationship with him, and it can even be said that he created them. Their glory, of course, inevitably has his share.

Then, when it is his turn to be officially crowned as the emperor of the empire, what will the scene be like? Aegron couldn't help but fall into his imagination.

On December 2, 1804, Emperor Napoleon was crowned emperor in Notre Dame. If he is lucky enough to return to Paris and restore the empire, then he must be crowned there too, repeating what happened more than 20 years ago. grand scene.

History will not be simply repeated, but there will be subtle repetitions, and this so-called "repetition" is a deliberate result.

Just as he was daydreaming, the loud bugle sound interrupted his imagination. He looked up and saw a group of uniformed soldiers patrolling around the square under the command of an officer, when they approached the place where Prince Otto was standing. When they were offstage, they raised their guns to salute the prince, and loudly reported to him the army unit they belonged to.

Although the prince could not understand what they were talking about, he kept nodding slightly, indicating that he had remembered these soldiers who had fought **** battles for the independence of the country in his heart.

The ceremony was proceeding step by step. Unlike those Greeks who were fully engaged, Aigron was completely a spectator, so he just watched all this, and his mind had long since drifted to other places.

In the crowd beside the king, he saw Panos' father, the hero of the Revolutionary War, Theodoros Korokotelonis, who stood beside the prince with the same solemnity in his military uniform, watching him review army.

According to the agreement between Aigron and the Wittelsbach royal family, after Otto becomes king, he will be appointed prime minister and continue to hold power in a legal form, and he has previously caused a series of **** conflicts caused by factional disputes within Greece and The coup d'état will be forgotten by the king and completely sealed in history.

After Panos asked Aegron for help, he got the support of Aegron. The position of Prime Minister was difficult to shake, and he could display his authority to the fullest.

Now that the prince is thirteen years old, he only wants five years of undisturbed time, that is to say, when the king is eighteen years old, the proposal is not greedy and harsh, and the Bavarians have nothing to say. .

That is to say, before the kingdom was born, his initial power structure had already been formed in the operation of the secret room, at least for the foreseeable future, this structure is quite stable, and can give the nascent Greek kingdom its much-needed respite. .

As for the distant future, that is something that no one can guess, let's talk about it later.

While Aigron was thinking about it, Haide felt a little bored. When she was crowned herself, she felt very excited and fun, and she was proud of her grandfather's career with all her heart, and now this coronation ceremony she She wasn't interested at all, and she didn't have a crush on Prince Otto, so she just lowered her eyes and hoped that this would end soon.

Although the time away from Ioannina was short, she was already homesick—to be precise, she was missing her family, but as a monarch, she could only stay here involuntarily, witnessing this Field ceremony.

As if responding to Heide's inner call, as the bishop of the Orthodox Church sent blessings to Prince Otto, Prince Otto slowly knelt on the ground.

Next, the bishop took up a crown, ready to put it on his head.

Although Prince Otto maintained a solemn calm on the surface, his heart was full of emotions. He knew that once he wore this crown, it meant that he would become a real king.

As the second son, he knew from a young age that as long as his eldest brother did not have an accident, the throne would never be with him. Can he really get a crown?

And the territory of this country is even bigger than his homeland.

This is truly a gift from God!

Not just to God, but to another person.

Prince Otto glanced to the side and saw another young man standing there who was a few years older than him.

At this moment, the young man was staring blankly at him, his eyes were blurred, he seemed to be distracted at first glance, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Prince Otto could only smile bitterly in his heart. The crucial moment in his life, which is extremely important to himself, is so ordinary to others, it may even be a little boring.

Just as he smiled wryly, he suddenly felt his head sink.

A crown was placed on his head.

No, not just a crown, but a devastated, ruined country, and a tormented people, all weighed on his head.

He remembered his father's reminder before he left, and he also remembered the young man's tireless advice several times. He knew how heavy the pressure was on his head. .

But it doesn't matter, he has servants serving him, and such subjects are loyal to him. He believes that in the future, he can grow up and shoulder this heavy mission.

Even if he can't become a hero that shocks the world, at least he can become a wise man who is respected by others, bringing this small country on the side of the mainland to the prosperity it has longed for for a long time.

There was a thunderous cheer in the ears, which was the high expectations the people had placed on themselves.

We must impress everyone, especially those who have underestimated themselves, just wait and see!

With this sudden arrogance, the young man stood with the crown on his head, stood up amid the cheers of the crowd, and solemnly faced the people and the distinguished guests.

At this very moment, a king was born, and with it an old and new nation was born.
