Eagle's Glory

When he wrote his notes, he was meticulous and detail-oriented. He not only recorded his own experience and what he saw, but also mixed a lot of personal comments and opinions.

He intends to write a memoir like those great figures in his old age, and there is no doubt that what he is recording now will be the best material at that time.

Today, however, his work was inevitably interrupted by a soft knock on his door.

He subconsciously covered the notebook, then carefully put it away in the drawer, and then asked back.

"who is it?"

"It's me, Your Highness." There was a reply from the door.

He immediately recognized that it was the voice of the little maid beside His Majesty.

I don't know how His Majesty fooled her relationship with Teresa... He subconsciously showed an ambiguous smile on his face, but he soon calmed down.

Then he opened the door and found Chanel standing in front of him with a serious face.

"What's the matter, Chanel?" He tried to show his most humble smile, and said to the maid.

"Your Highness, Princess Teresa, please go over and have a talk." Chanel replied with her head lowered.

Although her tone was calm and respectful, Charlie's heart skipped a beat suddenly, and his expression changed slightly.

The reason why he reacted so violently was, of course, that he had always had ghosts in his heart.

Ever since he heard the news that Her Majesty Teresa was about to go to the island, he had always had a premonition that something bad was going to happen, but his cousin insisted on going his own way, and no one dared to dissuade him, so he didn't dare to speak out, and could only watch her helplessly. on the island.

Originally, it didn't matter if she came to the island, it was just that he had an extra mistress in name, but the thing he was most worried about happened to happen - his cousin trusted Teresa so much that he let her take care of it as soon as he came up. all your finances.

And this also means that Teresa will soon know what she has done, and she will not be so easily fooled.

Just because he felt something was wrong in his heart, he deliberately provoked the relationship between Chanel and Teresa after Teresa came to the island, hoping to confuse the water with this, and it would be best if the two of them could not cooperate. He can also get temporary security, and then find a way to solve the problem.

However, it seemed that his plan failed again. He didn't know what happened in the middle, but he could clearly see that Chanel and Teresa got along pretty well. At least on the surface, Chanel was respectful and obeyed Teresa. Everything is assigned.

So he has no other tricks at once.

"Is there something wrong?" he asked tentatively.

"It's just some common business issues, you don't need to care about it." Chanel replied.

broken.He immediately screamed in his heart that something was wrong.

From Chanel's performance, he knew that this matter had already been revealed, and Teresa had really discovered it.

His face instantly became very pale, and a little cold sweat appeared on his back.

He subconsciously looked behind Chanel and found that there were no guards behind her.

In other words, if he pushes Chanel away and runs now, it can be done.

It's not like he wasn't prepared for such an eventuality. As long as he ran now, he could immediately find a small sailboat on the island and escape.

But only a second later, he denied the idea.

get away?Where can I escape?What should I do after I escape?

If he escapes, he will inevitably bear His Majesty's extreme anger. Next, he will declare what he has done to all the supporters of the Bonaparte family, and then expel himself from the family. At that time, although he can rely on some Money lived a prosperous life, but it was politically dead, and it could not have any future at all.

With great ambitions, of course he could not accept political death and became a lonely ghost.

So he made up his mind in just a split second.

You must keep your position in the family—so no matter what you will face next, as long as you can barely pass the test.

"Okay, got it, let's go." He tried his best to smile as normal as possible, and then nodded.

"Please come with me." Of course, Chanel didn't know that His Royal Highness had so many thoughts in a short time, and turned around and took him to the reception room that Aigron usually used, but this time, sitting on a chair It's Teresa.

Seeing Teresa, Charlie didn't dare to show his anger, and immediately bowed to her respectfully.

"Do you have any orders, Your Highness?"

For Chanel, who is just a maid, although he is superficially respectful, he is quite disdainful in his heart; but it is completely different for Teresa-his "His Royal Highness" has long been just an empty shell, only the Bonaparte family Only some of her supporters recognized her, but Teresa was completely different, she was a real princess, so standing in front of her, Charlie subconsciously lost a bit of momentum.

"You are too unfamiliar, my brother." Teresa replied with a smile, "I said before that you are His Highness's brother, so I will respect you like my own brother. You don't have to be so reserved, so Instead, I'm embarrassed—"

Charlie laughed awkwardly, not knowing how to answer.

Of course it was impossible for him to take Teresa's words seriously, but since she had said so, he had to put on a show.

Fortunately, Teresa did not make things difficult for him, but immediately got into the topic, "I invite you to come here, actually I want to ask you some questions. Please come here—"

She beckoned, and Charlie obediently walked to the desk.

Then, he saw an account book that had been opened on it.

It's over... He knew immediately that the situation was over.

But he could only bite the bullet and pretend nothing happened, waiting for the judgment to come.

"I wrote some personal evaluations on this account book, please take it up and have a look, if there are any mistakes, please point out..." Teresa pointed to the account book and continued to gesture.

Charlie could easily tell that Her Majesty Teresa's speech was obviously out of breath, and her cheeks were still morbidly red, but he couldn't care less about it now.

He picked up the ledger with trepidation, and flipped through the pages.

Soon, his forehead was sweating, because Teresa had marked many problematic transactions above, and also gave the estimated price difference. Charlie compared them with the memory in his heart, and found that almost all of them were written by her. Ready.

So sharp!

At this point, he knew that it was useless to say anything more, and everything was obviously under control, and she called herself over for a showdown today to ask for a crime.

Although he could insist that Teresa had no evidence, what's the point of that?

He put down the ledger, and then looked at Teresa with a little pleading.

"Your Highness, I am very satisfied with your vision, and I can't point out anything."

He was not afraid to beg for mercy from Teresa, and he was not afraid to beg for a woman as long as he could escape the crisis.

"That is to say, you admit that you have pocketed yourself, right?" Teresa looked at Charlie with a calm expression, and then asked, "Then how much did you take? Where did the money go?"

"The amount is about the same as what you guessed." Charlie sighed, "As for the usage... I squandered most of it, some for personal expenses, and some for my friends."

"I really didn't expect you to do such a thing!" Teresa frowned, and then began to scold the other party, "You keep saying that you only want to revive the family, but you act for your own self-interest whenever you have the opportunity, you Is this worthy of His Highness's trust? Is it worthy of your own identity? Don't you feel ashamed?"

Being reprimanded by a little girl face to face, Charlie was of course full of anger, but the current situation was stronger than others, so he could only bow his head and apologize to Teresa.

"Your Highness, please forgive me... I was confused and delusional for a while, and I made such an excessive move. I also regret it very much. I am ashamed of Your Majesty and failed his trust. I am sorry! I really don't know how to face it. To Your Majesty..."

"You don't have to worry about this, I haven't told His Highness yet." Teresa replied in a low voice, "Your Highness is so busy now, I don't want him to lose his temper over this kind of thing. Besides, I'm afraid that such a shameful thing will be spread. It's not very pretty either."

Your Majesty still doesn't know?

Charlie breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if he had been pardoned.

He has a nagging feeling for his cousin now, and if his cousin really arouses great anger, he doesn't know how to fight it.

As long as the cousin doesn't know, it's easy to handle.

At least judging from Teresa's tone, she hoped to solve the problem quietly without making a fuss.

——Of course, he didn't know that Teresa said that only because Eggron told her to.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" He immediately thanked Teresa, "I really can't express my gratitude to you in words."

"Words are always useless. If you really have the sincerity to solve the problem, you should take practical actions—" Teresa was not infected by his excitement, but narrowed her eyes slightly, expressing this imply their own meaning.

Of course, Charlie knew that now that he had reached this point, he had to take practical actions to make up for his mistakes, and it was impossible to muddle through.

"I will try my best to make up for the shortfall, but it will take some time." He gritted his teeth, and then made a promise, "Please give me a little grace."

Seeing that he had finally come up with an actual promise, Teresa's expression finally eased a little.

It is enough to reach this step, since His Highness does not want to completely break with this cousin, then there is no need to continue to force him.

"Anyway, you are His Highness's cousin after all, we are all one family, and I don't want to make you too ugly, so... let's solve the problem in another way."

"What do you mean?" Charlie asked immediately.

"I told Your Highness that our family is thin and we need everyone to work together to tide over the difficulties, but this does not mean that all family members must be selfless. You have your own objective needs just like everyone else—" Leisa replied in a low voice, "So, in my opinion, part of the previous shortfall is indeed your reasonable expenditure, and I don't want to force you to go bankrupt right away, but you must recognize this shortfall and make up for it later. "

After finishing speaking, Teresa picked up the pen and handed it to Charlie, motioning him to open the account book.

"Sign your own name on the back of every transaction I write, and write that this is what you owe."

Charlie's eyes widened suddenly.

In fact, there is no need to be so complicated. You only need to calculate the ledger and ask him to sign it. Teresa deliberately asked him to sign everywhere, which is almost humiliating.

He looked at Teresa pleadingly again, but he didn't get any response, obviously this was the last grace.

Unexpectedly, some old memories came back to his mind.

Very good!An Austrian woman climbed on top of us to show off her power again!

At that time, he was very young, and he hadn't felt that kind of anger and pain, but now, his whole heart was shaking because of this anger.

But now, he can only swallow his anger, because the situation is very unfavorable to him, Teresa has his criminal evidence, if she reports it to His Majesty, then he will lose everything.

So he could only bow his head and admit his fault.

He picked up a pen and tremblingly wrote his name behind every word written by Teresa in her account book, completing the punishment bestowed by Her Highness the Princess.

This name that he was usually proud of was so shocking to him at this moment, it made his eyes hurt.

There was a deathly silence in the room, only the soft sound of paper and pen rubbing against each other. After an unknown amount of time, he finally finished his work and signed his name wherever Teresa requested.

"Your Highness, I have fulfilled your request." With a sense of despair, he looked at Teresa again.

It should work now, right?he asked in his heart.

Teresa remained silent, took the account book, flipped through it, and put it aside.

"Very well, then I have no objection. As long as you know your mistakes and correct them, after all, you are still our beloved elder brother, and I will respect you as before." Then, she smiled slightly, but this smile could not be seen How kind, "Next, I hope you can learn from it and stop playing tricks. If there is another time, I won't be so easy to deal with. I think you will be able to think clearly about the consequences at that time?"

"I understand, Your Highness." Charlie couldn't say anything more at this time, he could only nod his head, "I will definitely change my past and try my best to serve Your Majesty and you from now on."

Teresa looked at him without saying a word.

Charlie froze for a moment, then suddenly understood something. "In the future, I will definitely obey your orders. If anyone dares to disrespect you, I will definitely not spare him!"

"Okay, then I don't have anything to say, I wish you all the best next--" Teresa waved her hand lightly, signaling the other party to leave.

Charlie, covered in cold sweat and close to collapse, finally left this sad place with anger, unwillingness and joy.　　

101, oath

Teresa sat on the chair, watching the back of His Highness's cousin leaving, until the other party disappeared and the door was closed again, the solemnity and majesty on her face suddenly disappeared, replaced by tiredness and bewilderment.

Chanel, who had been standing in the corner without saying a word and silently watching the whole situation, finally couldn't hold back anymore, hurriedly walked up to Teresa, and asked worriedly.

"Your Highness, are you alright?"

"I... I'm a little dizzy, probably because I've exhausted too much energy. In order not to let him underestimate me, I can't show any timidity in front of him." Teresa closed her eyes slightly and replied in a low voice.

Then she barely raised her head to look at Chanel again, "Chanel, how did I behave just now? Didn't I feel ashamed?"

"You performed very well..." Chanel replied sincerely, "No matter the wording and attitude are impeccable, I think His Highness will definitely remember this lesson."

"Probably just let him be honest for a while, but that's enough." Teresa replied with a wry smile. "Since Your Highness doesn't want to break up with my cousin, then we can only go to this point. Alas, a family is a family after all, so what can we do?"

She blinked, realizing she was still dizzy, and staggered to her feet.

She tried to take a few steps forward, but found that her footsteps were light and light, and she couldn't control her balance at all, so she took a few steps staggeringly.

Chanel panicked and quickly grabbed her shoulders.

"Your Highness, are you alright?" she asked again.

"I'm just too tired, just take a rest." Teresa smiled wryly, "Okay, help me to rest--Chanel. It seems that the matter is over."

At this moment, the door suddenly opened again, and then a young man walked in with great strides.

Of course, only one person here is qualified to do so.

"Your Majesty!" After seeing the young man, Chanel felt relieved, and stepped aside.

Aigron stepped forward, and then supported Teresa himself.

"I just saw my cousin leave." Aigron said with great interest, "I've never seen him lost his mind before, so interesting."

"Your Highness, in order to establish dignity, I can only reprimand him severely and let him suffer humiliation." Teresa replied, "I hope you will not blame me for destroying the harmony of the family."

"Family harmony! Oh, I never knew that the Bonaparte family had such a thing." Eggron shrugged nonchalantly, "Teresa, you did the right thing, and I told you to reprimand him, You are just carrying out my will, how can I blame you for this? To tell you the truth, I have severely reprimanded his father before. All in all, there are many rebellious people in our family. You can’t be persuaded, if you can’t persuade me, I’d rather be exiled, and I will definitely not make the mistakes of my predecessors!”

Having said that, he looked at Teresa again, "However, Teresa, I didn't expect you to be so proficient. You can suppress him so easily without me teaching you."
