Eagle's Glory

Maybe I can't say such eloquent and eloquent words as Her Majesty the Princess, but when it comes to loyalty and love for Her Majesty, how can I lose to her?

It's a pity that fate can only let him go this far after all.

If Princess Teresa can benefit His Majesty's cause, she can still feel a little bit of relief after all.

Having said that, there is always a bit of sadness in my heart.

"Shall I continue to comb your hair?" She sighed secretly in her heart, and then picked up the comb.

"Chanel, thank you for taking care of me." Theresa closed her eyes obediently, letting the comb stroke her wet hair, "I know that your relationship with Your Highness is extraordinary, but that is also You deserve the reward after you have paid so much. No matter whether Your Highness succeeds or fails in your future career, I will do my best to save your life. From now on, I am willing to respect and value you as Your Highness does, and let you share our glory... …So, I ask you to respect me in the future, and act according to my orders without violating His Highness’s will, is that okay? This is a request, not an order. Although I have the right to order you in theory, I think you should be respected Your will is more important, because you are someone we can really trust."

Chanel's hand stopped.

"I see, Your Highness." After a while, she nodded calmly again, and then continued to comb her hair. "No matter what happens, I will always respect you."　　

95. Make the best use of people

"No matter what happens, I will always respect you."

Chanel's answer made Teresa nodded in satisfaction.

"Maybe I am indeed intoxicated in a self-woven dream, but I am enjoying it, and I hope I don't wake up, I am willing to do my best to maintain my dream... Cough..." While speaking, she suddenly coughed, "After all, it is such a precious luxury to be able to persist in dreaming in this world, cough..."

"Your Highness, stop talking!" Chanel sensed something was wrong, and quickly stopped Teresa. "You caught a cold just now, you should take a good rest now."

Then, she hurried out of the door and called Aigron back.

Aigron had already changed his clothes, and hurried back to the room after hearing Chanel's report.

"How are you, Teresa?"

"I'm fine, Your Highness, I'm just happy..." Teresa replied in a low voice.

Having said that, Aigron was still a little worried.

"Then you should rest first."

He took Teresa back to his bedroom, and then helped Teresa lie down on the bed.

Then, he stroked Teresa's forehead and found that her body temperature was a little higher than normal.

Damn!

He was a little upset because Teresa had clearly caught a cold.

It's not surprising when you think about it. Teresa was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child. After she came to this deserted island, although she was still taken care of by someone, her living standard must have dropped a lot. In addition, her physique is average, so even if there is no accident today, It is estimated that it will be easy to get sick after a while.

Thinking of this, his heart was filled with guilt.

"Teresa, I'm sorry I didn't take good care of you."

"No, Your Highness, I'm the one who caused you trouble..." Teresa blinked, and then laughed, "I'm sorry that I haven't helped you, but I've dragged you down, but I It'll be all right soon..."

While speaking, she coughed softly, obviously she was already trying very hard to suppress herself.

Looking at her, Aigron felt a little distressed. "hope so."

"Don't worry, as long as you are by my side, nothing will happen to me." Teresa blushed even more, "I still want to do so many great things with you, and let our family reach the pinnacle of glory together ..."

"Stop talking, I will, I will." Eggron leaned over and hugged her, and comforted her softly, "Anyway, take a good rest now, and I'll be with you when I come back tonight."

"You'd better sleep somewhere else tonight, I'm afraid I'll infect you." Teresa shook her head lightly. "Your Highness, everyone wants you to stay healthy so that you can lead them."

"Fuck his infection, I just want to hug you to sleep, a mere cold can't frighten me." Aegron replied firmly, "Okay, you should rest first, and wait for me to come back."

Then, without any explanation, Aigron covered Teresa with the cup, then walked out of the bedroom and came to Chanel.

"Your Highness, do you have a cold?" Chanel asked in a low voice.

Aegron frowned, then nodded.

"In order to prevent the epidemic, some herbs and potions have been purchased on the island. Let me bring some to Your Highness." Chanel immediately suggested, "Your Highness needs to rest now."

"Okay, that's it." Aigron could only nod in agreement, "Please continue to take care of her, her health is also very important."

Aigron is upset now, he is really worried about Teresa, not out of other considerations - he didn't realize it himself, and unconsciously, he had already regarded Teresa as his heart. An extremely important person, I couldn't bear to see her in pain.

Therefore, if it can reduce Teresa's pain, he is very willing to do it.

"This is what I should do." Chanel responded, "I will take good care of her."

After explaining, Aigron walked out of the room, and then he found two people in the corridor outside—one was Andre Davout, who was in charge of defending himself, and the other was his fencing teacher, Captain Foresty.

After escorting Teresa to the island, the captain stayed at Teresa's request and continued to serve Teresa.

Just because everyone knew that he was Her Majesty Teresa's "personal" and a subordinate directly under Her Majesty the Princess, no one questioned his plans, and no one gave orders to him. Even Aigron did not try to include him to his own command.

So the captain was politely isolated by the people on the island, and everyone except Teresa ignored him. He seemed to be satisfied with this status, and kept away from other people to avoid suspicion.

"Your Highness!" The captain's eyes finally lit up when he saw Aigron.

"What's the matter with you?" Aigron walked up to them and asked.

"I heard that Her Royal Highness almost fell into the water in an accident, so I came here to see her." The captain replied briefly, and then looked at André Davout again, "But your captain of the guard is very conscientious, he stopped Get off me and declare that I cannot see you and Your Highness without permission."

"Your Majesty, I am preparing to inform you." André Davout replied, "It is not that I am deliberately embarrassing the captain, but it is my duty as your captain of the guard. I cannot let anyone close to you."

Aigron looked at the faces of the two, and probably understood what was going on in his heart.

"Captain, please forgive Andre, he is also doing his duty." He nodded approvingly at Andre, and then continued, "Besides, Teresa is sick now, I think you'd better Don't bother her, let her have a good rest, and it won't be too late to come back tomorrow if the situation improves."

Then, he briefly told the other party what happened when he and Teresa went fishing in the sea today and encountered wind and waves, and Teresa caught a cold and had a fever.

Captain Foresty was a little embarrassed after hearing this, because Her Royal Highness Teresa had clearly "self-inflicted blame" for the whole incident, and he couldn't say anything more.

In addition, now is indeed not a good time to visit her.

"If that's the case, then I'll see His Highness another day." He sighed and accepted Aigron's suggestion, "When I left Austria, Grand Duke Karl specifically told me to obey His Highness's orders and take good care of the princess. Your Highness, in the end... I failed my duty."

"It's not your responsibility. After all, who would have thought that it would become like this?" Aigron comforted the other party.

"Then I'll go back first." The captain bowed sadly, preparing to bid farewell to Aigron.

"Wait a minute!" Aigron suddenly thought of something, and then stopped the captain.

"Do you have anything else to say?" The captain stopped and looked at the young man suspiciously.

"It's a little thing, don't be nervous." Aigron smiled, and then pointed to Andre Davout who was silent beside him, "I want to tell you, my captain of the personal guard, there is one very annoying thing in my life... "

"Your Majesty..." As soon as he heard Aigron say this, André Davout immediately became anxious, and subconsciously opened his mouth to stop it.

However, Egron turned a deaf ear and continued, "He challenged a very powerful swordsman, and then lost so badly that he ran out of Paris that day and hid in the countryside for several months before returning."

"Oh?" Upon hearing about the swordsman, Captain Foresty immediately regained his spirits, and then looked at Andre Davout.

And this young man, having his scars exposed suddenly, didn't dare to lose his temper with His Majesty. He felt embarrassed and ashamed all of a sudden, so he turned his head away and looked at the ground, not daring to meet people's gaze.

After a moment of silence, the captain spoke kind words to Andre instead.

"It's not shameful to lose in a challenge. I also lost many times when I was young. As long as you can learn from your failures and find ways to make yourself stronger, then failure is beneficial."

He didn't deliberately please Andre, but he really thought so in his heart.

"Usually, this is indeed the case, but this time the object of failure has had too much impact on Andre, so he really can't hold back his face, and it has always been difficult to get out of the shadow of failure." Aigron replied with a smile, " To tell you the truth, he lost to a young girl who was younger than him and probably as old as me."

"What?" Captain Foresty's eyes widened in surprise as this was the first time he had heard of this. "A little girl?"

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Andre Davout could only nod sadly, "It's true... I know it's unbelievable, but I really lost, so it hit me very hard. Unforgettable."

"The lady's name is Agnes, and she is already well-known in Paris." Aigron continued to add, "I was also fortunate to have played against her, and she is indeed quite powerful. It is normal for Andre to lose."

"She is so powerful that even His Majesty can't subdue her." André Davout echoed in a low voice.

"I don't believe it. Your Highness is my best student and the one I am most proud of. He is talented and hardworking at the same time, so his progress is very fast. He even caught up with me before he was an adult...I don't believe there will be a peer Will approach him, let alone a girl." Captain Foresty looked skeptical, "Is that Miss Agnes really able to do this? Could it be you because the opponent is a girl? So I subconsciously kept my hand."

As soon as he saw the captain's expression, Aigron knew that his goal had been achieved.

"I admit that I do have reservations, but even so, she is still strong enough-at least I think it is difficult for Andre to get back. But even so, the fire in his heart has not been extinguished. Before going to the island, he was bitter After practicing for several months, I planned to continue to challenge Miss Agnes, but I had to temporarily give up this idea after hearing my news, but I think one day, he will fulfill his wish."

"That's quite a backbone." The captain nodded to show his admiration, "Regardless of his level, as long as he has this backbone, he can live up to the sword in his hand. I wish him success."

After hearing the captain's words, André Davout's eyes changed when he looked at him. It was obvious that these words were very useful to him.

After the captain came to the island, André Davout also heard about some deeds about Captain Foresty. To be honest, he was also full of curiosity about the captain, just because the other party belonged to Princess Teresa , and he is an Austrian, so it is not easy for him to actively contact the other party.

Seeing that the atmosphere is already in place, Egron certainly does not intend to give up this opportunity.

"Captain, good wishes are not enough." He smiled, "I hope you can help him in a more practical way, such as giving pointers."

"..." The captain hesitated for a moment. "is this okay?"

"What's wrong?" Aigron asked back, "You have nothing to do on the island anyway, so what's the problem with practicing with them? I don't think your talent should be buried, and neither should you." It should go down completely."

"I'm not what I used to be." The captain smiled wryly and shook his head.

"Even if it's not the same as before, I think you are still good enough, at least enough to guide my knights." Aigron replied with a smile, "To tell you the truth, I actually thought about doing this myself , but it was put on hold because of lack of time, I think it would be very suitable for you to take charge of this work, and you can also use this to pass the time, it is better than being trapped in a shabby room all day by yourself?"

Aigron's persuasion moved the captain's heart.

In his opinion, His Highness's intentions are also reasonable. Since he has already come to the island, it is only natural that he should play a role.

But he was still a little hesitant.

"Swordsmanship is just entertainment after all. In fact, it is not very helpful to them. Now is the era of guns. Besides, they are already old, and it is too late to start serious study now."

"I know what you said, but I hope this can give them a sense of belonging to the team. Anyway, it's not mandatory. As long as you are interested, you can learn it." Aigron replied with a smile.

In fact, he hopes to use this to allow the captain to integrate into his own group and become an existence that is not under his control in name but actually works for him.

Teresa, he believed, would be more than happy to see it happen, too.

Then he winked at André Davout.

"Captain, I very much hope to listen to your advice." At this time Andre also reacted, and immediately made a sincere request to the captain. "Even if I lose again, I hope I can lose more decently, and I will stick to my honor."

Perhaps infected by Andre's eager gaze, the captain hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "Well, since His Highness is so persistent, I can only obey... But I am a harsh teacher, I believe you have learned it, I don't force others to learn from me, but if you still complain to you after learning from me, I hope you don't bother."

"I believe they will appreciate your teaching." Aigron laughed. "Whoever complains to me, I will deprive him of his title."

Amidst the laughter, the haze accumulated in his heart because of Teresa's illness finally dissipated again.

"Don't worry about Teresa, I will take care of Your Highness." He assured the captain.　　

96, Huangcun

25 kilometers south of St. Petersburg, there is a residence that has been opened up as the largest palace for the Tsars of the Russian Empire.

Although it is called Huangcun, it is not shabby at all.Under the management of successive Russian monarchs for many years, the ostentation of the Russian Empire has been fully reflected in these palaces.

In 1717, Peter I the Great built a summer villa for his wife, Empress Ekaterina.Seven years later, in 1824, the mansion and garden were completed and put into use together. In 1741, after Empress Elizabeth Petrovna, the daughter of Peter the Great, came to the throne, she also took a fancy to this quiet place, and then appropriated funds for the emperor. The village is expanded.

Subsequent generations of tsars settled here. Around the huge palace complex, after the careful design of successive generations of designers, the gardens and trees are luxuriant, the clusters of trees and the lush and open grassland hide everything in this greenery. , the previous white snow has gradually turned into a trickle due to the arrival of early spring. This beautiful scenery can almost make all visitors unable to help but immerse themselves in it.

However, no matter how beautiful it is, it will always welcome some visitors who have no intention of admiring it.These visitors, together with the court guards who kept patrolling everywhere, made it clear to everyone that this was, after all, the residence of His Majesty the Tsar and one of the nerve centers of the largest empire in human history.

Under the development of several generations of tsars, this place has become one of the main gathering places of the upper class of the empire, and it has become the Versailles of the Russian Empire. In addition to the royal family, many noble families also lived and communicated here. And left their mark on this place.

For example, Pushkin, the founder of Russian literature and the best poet in the empire, spent his unforgettable youth here, grew up in aristocratic schools here, and often lived with the court in Huangcun as an adult.

Later, after the October Revolution, the rule of the Romanov family in Russia came to an end, and Huangcun naturally could no longer be Huangcun. The revolutionary government renamed it "Pushkin City" in memory of this great poet.

The royal family and the court have been reduced to dust, but the poet's name shines brightly and has become the eternal memory of the Russian nation.

Of course, at this moment, no one would have imagined that history would take such a wonderful and amazing direction. In the eyes of everyone, the Russian Empire is now in the sky, and the Tsar and his courtiers ruled absolutely with a ruthless iron fist. This great empire with a territory of thousands of miles, and the hundreds of large and small ethnic groups on the territory of the empire.

Where the bayonets of the imperial army are directed, the imperial power of the empire will also spread to both ends of the Eurasian continent. No one can resist such a huge force.

Under the leadership of the court attendants, several middle-aged people in formal dresses walked forward with a respectful attitude along the garden path built during the reign of Catherine II.And as far as they could see from the corner of their eyes, the five onion-shaped spiers of the Palace Church were shining golden under the blue sky, as if they were the light of power itself.

The two leaders are Mr. Victor Kochubey, Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Empire, and Mr. Karl Nesselrode, Minister of Foreign Affairs.

[Viktor Kochubey, viktorkochubey (1768-1834), diplomat and politician, born in Ukraine, is the great-grandson of the Cossack leader Vasily Kochubey, who became the favorite of the Tsar in the era of Alexander I. Served as Minister of the Interior and Minister of Foreign Affairs. After Alexander died in 1825 and Nicholas I ascended the throne, he was still reused by the new emperor and was appointed chairman of the Council of Ministers. 】

[Karl-Robert-Nesselrode, karl-robert-nesselrode (1780-1862), diplomat.He was of Germanic origin, and later served Russia. He was appointed as Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs (1822-1856) during the period of Tsarist Nicholas I of Russia, and was later named an earl. 】

These two people are currently the most important ministers of the empire, and they are also the chief assistants to assist His Majesty the Tsar in formulating various domestic and foreign policies. Now their faces are quite dignified, and it is obvious that they have their own thoughts at the moment.

Tsar Nicholas I urgently summoned his Chairman of the Council of Ministers, Victor Kochubey, and Foreign Minister Karl Nesselrode to the Imperial Village. In the eyes of the people in the court, this was by no means an unusual move. It soon caused whispers from all sides - of course, there are no secrets in Huangcun, and they will soon find out why.

Led by the attendants, the two ministers came to the famous Amber Hall to meet His Majesty the Tsar.

The room itself is a rare treasure-reflected by more than six tons of amber and precious jewels inlaid on the walls, the entire room shines with precious light from lemon yellow to golden red, so brilliant that it is almost impossible Suffocating, which is what His Majesties loved to show.

In order to form an alliance with the mighty Russia, King William I of Prussia, who was so successful and extravagant, groveled and paid tribute to Peter the Great, which he spent countless efforts to build, and he won the favor of the Russians. .It also opened a precedent for the Kingdom of Prussia to befriend Russia desperately.

In this resplendent place, the current ruler of the Russian Empire.His Majesty Tsar Nicholas I was sitting in his seat, looking indifferently at the people who came in.

His Majesty the Tsar is very young now, only in his early thirties. He is tall, with an oval face and brown eyes that look aggressive. He exudes boundless energy and ruthless courage in him. The courage to start his own rule.
