Eagle’s Glory

Chapter 85: 85. Loyalty

Chanel quietly looked at the young man in front of her. Although the surroundings were still so noisy, she didn't realize it.

This young man has a handsome face, and his demeanor is also quite unrestrained. His gestures are calm, and he is indeed quite charming.

But this is not important - what really matters is that his face is quite similar to her master.

It only took a moment for her to recall the master's explanation to her.

Finally... is it finally here...?

With unparalleled excitement, the blood rushed straight into Chanel's brain, making it almost difficult for her to breathe. She stared at the young man opposite, not knowing how to speak.

Really? What if something goes wrong?

All kinds of thoughts flooded in, leaving her mouth dry.

The young man stood motionless, and let the young **** the opposite side look at him. If someone unrelated to him came over, he would think they fell in love at first sight.

However, this kind of thing is very common in the masquerade **** of the carnival, and no one cares or finds it strange at all, and no one is bored to disturb the little things of young men and women.

After an unknown amount of time, Chanel finally regained consciousness.

She managed to calm herself down, then leaned her head slightly forward and asked in French, "Excuse me, who are you, Your Highness?"

When she asked this question, the young man couldn't help but smile, because it meant that his gamble had also been successful - the **** the opposite side was indeed a big deal.

"Louis," he whispered, as if chanting a spell, uttering several names, "Napoleon-Louis Bonaparte."

Sure enough!

Chanel managed to keep herself normal, jumping up without excitement.

Your Highness, you are waiting for your cousin!

As a true Bonapartist, she certainly knew what the name meant.

This is the son of Napoleon's third brother Louis, her master, Aigron's cousin, and one of His Royal Highness's closest relatives.

And his arrival means that the supporters of the empire, especially the former royal family of the empire, did not give up their past glory and titles, and finally came to look for His Highness.

And I... I am His Highness' guide...

Chanel knew that the brightest moment of her life was coming.

"Your Highness..." She calmed down a little, then bowed to the young man opposite.

"Don't do that." The young man opposite suddenly took a step forward, then took her hand and stopped her from salute.

Then, he put on the mask calmly, and said to Chanel with a smile, "Miss, shall we dance together? Otherwise, it will be too eye-catching."

"Okay." Chanel came back to his senses and nodded immediately.

So, the two walked hand in hand to the corner of the venue, and then started dancing as if no one else was there.

Chanel's dance steps are very unfamiliar because of the rare opportunity to dance, but the young man guides her steps patiently, making them as smooth and natural as possible, looking no different from young men and women enjoying a carnival masquerade.

But of course he knew what his main purpose was.

After making sure that the people around him didn't notice him, the young man continued dancing while looking at Chanel, "Miss, can I know your name now?"

"I'm not a lady, Your Highness." Chanel replied in a low voice, "My name is Chanel, I'm just a maid, but I'm fortunate enough to serve Your Highness."

The young man was a little surprised at first, but soon laughed again, "It's okay, I'm not your Highness, I'm just a commoner, no different from you."

Then, he asked again, "So, my guess is correct, the new drama shown here is indeed created by my poor cousin?"

"Yes." Chanel nodded, "And this was created on purpose by His Royal Highness, just to lead you here... He pinned his hopes on escaping from Austria on you."

The young man was really startled now, he stopped abruptly, and after a while he smiled wryly.

"It seems that my cousin is much smarter than I thought."

"You shouldn't call him that. He is now the head of the Bonaparte family, the emperor of the empire." Chanel corrected him seriously.

Chanel's position is extremely fanatical, so she believes that since she is a Bonapartist, she has an obligation to honor the orthodox heir of Emperor Napoleon, even members of the royal family.

"It seems that he has a loyal subordinate." The young man was stunned for a moment, then shrugged, "Well, I pay the highest respect to the future His Majesty Napoleon II!"

Although his tone was witty, Chanel could also hear that he really yearned for it.

That's right, if he doesn't want the restoration of the empire, why would he come here to find himself...

"His Royal Highness, I also pay tribute to you... Thank you for coming to help our leader and monarch when they were most distressed." She looked at the other party with excitement, "God will definitely reward you!"

"It's better not to trouble God, your master can repay me." The young man continued to answer with a smile. "Then tell me, where is our majesty now?"

"His Majesty is currently participating in an event and is not available for the time being. Besides, there are people watching him all the time, so it is impossible to meet strangers suddenly." Chanel hesitated and replied, "However, I will tell him later that he has been The relatives who are looking forward to have come to look for him, I think he will be very happy, and then we will find a way to facilitate your meeting with him."

Chanel replied this way, not only because Aigron was hanging out with Sophie and she couldn't get in touch, but also because she remembered the previous admonition from her master.

Aegron had told her that all his family members were ambitious, and even among his relatives, he could not entrust all the trust, but he had to cooperate because of the temporary alignment of interests. Although she did not understand the meaning of it, but But remember this.

As soon as he thought of this, Chanel decided not to rush to promise anything, but to tell His Royal Highness the news and let him decide how to deal with it.

Even if Aigron needs his cousin's help very much, or because he needs his cousin's help, he should control the rhythm and take the initiative.

Anyway, as long as people come, then everything will be fine.

"Is that so..." The young man was obviously a little disappointed, but quickly regained his composure. "Okay, it doesn't matter, you can tell him, and then we will contact again and find a more suitable time to meet again."

Then, he looked around again, and after confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he possessed himself and leaned into Chanel's ear.

"Chanel, our majesty, trying so hard to bring me here, what is it for? I guess it's not just for the connection between brothers, right?"

"You guessed it right." Chanel nodded slightly, and then leaned into his ear as well, "Your Majesty... needs your help, he wants to leave Austria."

"How much do you want?" the young man asked back.

"The sooner the better." Chanel answered decisively.

"Is this really what he meant?" The other party seemed to have some doubts. "The news I heard doesn't seem to be like this... It is said that he is planning to marry the daughter of Archduke Karl and then become a prince in Austria with peace of mind."

After hearing this sentence, Chanel's heart throbbed.

"That's not the case!" She gritted her teeth and denied, "It was just a hidden arrangement by His Majesty. He actually never thought about marriage, let alone staying in Austria to be someone else's courtier, he just wanted to leave, Then restore the empire. Otherwise, why would he do so many things and bring you here too?"

"I understand... It turns out..." The young man was not surprised, but seemed to verify what he was thinking, "I'll just say... How can members of our family spend their lives in obscurity with peace of mind... "

After a pause, he looked at Chanel again, "Then tell him, my obligation is to serve our great family, to serve Emperor Napoleon and his heirs, so His Majesty's wish is my task. , I am more than happy to fulfill the orders he has given me - even if it is fraught with risks."

"Your Majesty will be so moved by your loyalty!" Chanel was also excited, her eyes almost burst into tears, "This is what we've been waiting for!"

"Yes, loyal!" The young man nodded seriously again.

Only God knows whether his loyal object is the deceased uncle, the cousin he hasn't seen for more than ten years, or the empire he once hoped for.

Napoleon-Louis Bonaparte, the former King of the Netherlands, and in a more distant past, he was also seen as the Crown Prince of the Empire.

During the period of the Great Revolution, Napoleon rose to the top, from an obscure little officer to a hot man in the military, and finally seized the highest power in France through a coup d'état.

However, in such a dazzling life, there has always been a regret - after Napoleon and Josephine de Beauharne got married, they never gave birth to children.

At first Napoleon thought that he had a hidden disease and could not give birth to a son, so he planned to find a nephew from his brothers to be his heir.

Unfortunately, his eldest brother Joseph only gave birth to three daughters, and there was no way to provide him with an heir.

So Napoleon brokered a political marriage, allowing his third brother, King Louis Bonaparte of the Netherlands, to marry his stepdaughter, Princess Autensee.

The couple had a very bad relationship, and they just reluctantly got married for political gain, but Princess Aotangsi's belly was very good, and she gave birth to three sons to Louis in one breath.

The eldest son, Napoleon Charles Bonaparte, was born in 1802 and died early in 1807.

The second son, Napoleon-Louis Bonaparte, was born in 1804.

The third son, Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, was born in 1808.

It stands to reason that the emperor's career will be inherited by one of the three sons - however, man's calculation is not as good as God's calculation, and a joke from God has made things change again.

After giving birth to a son with his mistress, Napoleon was sure that his fertility was no problem, so he had the idea of ​​passing the throne to his son. To achieve this, he forcibly divorced Queen Josephine, and then married Louisa from Austria Princess, and gave birth to her own son in 1811.

That is to say, from 1802 to 1811, when Aiglon was born, the potential heirs to the throne have always been the sons of Louis.

But with the advent of the Roman king, Louis' sons seemed to have no hope of inheriting the empire.

Not only was there no hope of inheriting the empire, but the chance to inherit the kingdom was suddenly lost.

In 1810, when King Louis of the Netherlands refused to cooperate with the emperor's mainland blockade policy, the emperor was furious.

In desperation, Louis wanted to abdicate to preserve his own kingdom of the Netherlands. He announced that he would renounce the throne and passed the throne to his son Napoleon-Louis Bonaparte, who is also King Louis II in Dutch history.

However, His Majesty the Emperor did not accept his arrangement. He directly let France annex the Netherlands, so Louis II, who was only six years old at that time, was forced to lose the throne after only 9 days as the king.

His uncle, the great emperor, stripped him of his title of king himself, and brought him to Paris to raise him as a royal prince.

It stands to reason that when he grows up, he should be bitter and resentful about this, but the fickleness of fate makes the hatred within the Bonaparte family less important.

In 1815, with the tragic defeat of Emperor Napoleon on the battlefield of Waterloo, the Bonaparte family lost the empire and all the glory that they once had. The two Louis brothers lost their royal status.

The two young brothers, unable to do anything about it, can only watch themselves being expelled by the restored Bourbon dynasty, and when they grow up, they want to take back what they have lost so that they can regain their royal status. across the European continent.

The grievances of the past have evaporated, and it has become the overwhelming need in their eyes to let the family re-enter Europe.

To do this, they had to lift the banner of Emperor Napoleon—the dead man was far more dazzling and important than any living man.

However, the emperor is dead after all, and only by relying on his successor can he play that banner.

So, Napoleon-Louis Bonaparte, he came to Vienna and, following the message left by his cousin, found traces of his cousin.

He knew he was doing something dangerous, but he knew even more that he was now the closest since 1815 to the supreme glory he had ever had.

What is a little bit of risk when you think of all that glory and authority?

The younger generation of this family grew up from the myth of Napoleon. When they were young, they were all fascinated by the words and deeds of the great emperor. The ambition ignited in their hearts was enough to make the young people forget all dangers.

Yes, just take that step and things will make a big difference...it's worth the gamble.

Looking at the brilliant lights on the ceiling, the young man suddenly woke up from his madness.

Then, he looked at his beautiful dance partner.

Although he was calm and calm on the surface, his heart was full of excitement.

However, it looks like it can only go so far today.

"Chanel, let's talk about it today, I think I have to say goodbye." He stopped dancing, then looked at Chanel, "I'm very happy that I didn't waste my time."

"How can I find you?" Chanel asked quickly.

"When you come to the theater next time, I will naturally be in the audience." The young man smiled, then bowed gracefully, and disappeared into the crowd.
