Eagle's Glory

But of course she wouldn't speak her mind.

After all, it is Her Royal Highness, some words can only be said by others, and it is understandable.Sometimes even if everyone is tacitly aware of it, you have to put on a show—this is the so-called "decentness".

Chanel has stayed in the court for a while, and she knows how to act properly.

"Your Majesty may have to stay for a long time. If you are kept waiting outside, you will be too wronged." Now that she has said this, she can only find reasons for Teresa with a straight face, "And, I believe His Majesty is also very happy to have you by his side."

"But he said that no one should disturb him." Teresa asked hesitantly.

"You are not 'someone else'." Chanel replied. "You are the closest person to His Majesty, aren't you?"

"Since you have said so, then let's do it." Teresa covered her mouth to hide the smile on the corner of her mouth, "Chanel, you are so considerate, I am very glad to have you with us Beside..."

"You are too honored. It is my responsibility to serve His Majesty and you."

..............................

Aegron soaked in the hot water and steam, enjoying the comfort that seemed to come from the depths of his soul, and even his consciousness became a little blurred.

Just then, Aigron heard light footsteps.

The sound was slight and rapid, and seemed to reveal a subtle sense of tension.

He opened his eyes immediately, and in the mist, it seemed that a person was walking towards him, but it was vague and not very real.

His relaxed consciousness immediately became alert.

"Who is here? Chanel, didn't I tell you not to let people in?" Aigron asked loudly.

"It's me...Your Highness." At this time, Aigron heard a subtle answer.

With this familiar voice, Aigron immediately recognized who it was.

"Tree..."

As soon as he called out the name, he was immediately interrupted hastily. "Don't shout out, Your Highness! I can't stand it..."

Immediately afterwards, a slender figure appeared in front of the young man in the mist.

Aegron opened his eyes wide and looked at Teresa.

Now she was only wrapped in a bath towel, and her slender arms and calves had been exposed to the steam, and they were covered with a fine layer of water droplets.

Perhaps because of the water vapor, her already fair skin also appeared more translucent.

Through the thin veil, he could clearly see not only the porcelain-like skin, but also the red and tender buds.

"Don't look at me like that!" Teresa blushed and protested softly to the young man.

Then, she continued to explain in a low voice, "Weary from the journey, I couldn't hold back when I heard that there is a bath here. It's a pity that you are here now... I asked Chanel, and she said that I should come to take a bath together Forget about taking a shower, lest I have to wait for you and waste time."

Obviously you want to do this... Aigron immediately figured out what happened, but in order to save Teresa's face, he could only keep his words in his heart.

"Is it okay? Your Highness?" Teresa walked in front of Aigron, then lowered her head and looked down at the half-lying young man.

"Of course, who can refuse?" Aigron couldn't help laughing, and then nodded immediately in agreement, "But...you can't ask me not to look at you, because normal humans can't do this at this moment of."

Teresa closed her eyes in shame, but she was also very happy in her heart.

"Then just watch it, don't say such things anymore, otherwise I really can't stand it!"

After finishing speaking, he took off the towel and walked into the bathtub. He also leaned against the side wall of the bathtub and sat next to the young man.

When her whole body was soaked in hot water, her tense nerves finally relaxed. She squinted her eyes slightly, and couldn't help but let out a long breath.

She also has the same mood as Aigron at the moment.

At this moment, she just wanted to just quietly soak in the hot water and enjoy the comfort.

However, Eggron's originally calm mood was now like this pool of water, with ripples, and he could no longer calm down.

The two of them have been embracing and sleeping together for a while, and they are no strangers to Teresa's body, Egron, but at this moment, her charm seems to be a little more than usual.

Waves rippling on the surface of the water, as if a pair of hands were scratching his chest, made him feel excited.

He couldn't help being impulsive.

Under the trend of passion, he couldn't help stretching out his hand, wrapped his arms around Teresa's shoulders, and pulled her into his arms.

Although Teresa was a little surprised, she didn't struggle to resist, but leaned into his arms obediently.

"Your Highness, let's go here, don't pass any longer... Please." She just whispered.

The voice is very waxy and soft, and it seems to be a little seductive.

As the water surface continued to sway, her milky white body seemed to be constantly swaying in his sight, which attracted his attention even more.

It took him a lot of effort to restrain his impulse.

"Of course, Teresa... I remember what I promised you." He sighed deeply, then nodded regretfully. "Anyway, it's not too long, and it's not a big deal for me to wait a little longer. On the contrary, these waiting may increase the affection between us, so I am willing to wait."

Upon hearing him say that, Teresa laughed in relief.

Then Eggron suddenly changed the subject.

"However, this time is different. You cunning and selfish girl, you are making fun of yourself, getting comfortable and putting yourself in a safe place, and you don't take into account me! It's too much for you to test my endurance like this." Damn it. I used to enjoy a rare rest here alone, but you deliberately teased me to make me feel hot. How can I rest now? Just restraining myself and not going off the rails has consumed all my will You're making me so uncomfortable!"

His words seemed to be accusations and jokes, which made Teresa feel ashamed for a while, and she lowered her head and dared not speak again.

"Why don't you talk? Do you think you can avoid punishment by being silent?" Aigron asked with a straight face.

"What punishment?" Teresa asked terrified.

"Close your eyes!" Aggron said to her gravely.

Teresa hesitated, but closed her eyes obediently.

Aigron took the opportunity to wrap her in his arms, and kissed her forehead.

Perhaps it was because of being soaked in the water vapor, Teresa's skin was smoother than usual, and this subtle touch made him ecstatic.

Then, his lips gradually moved down, from the smooth forehead to the eyes, and then to the lips.

After a few moments of skillful kissing, he continued his journey, from Teresa's chin, to the slender neck, and then slid all the way down the collarbone, and finally stopped at that place.

[The area in front, let’s explore later~]

At this moment, Teresa's whole body was already limp, she just hugged her sweetheart tightly, and couldn't speak anymore.

"Okay, let's call it a day." Seeing that she was so out of control, Aigron felt relieved for a while, and stopped there.

"Your Highness..." Teresa finally opened her eyes again, and then stared at him intently, "Thank you."

"Thank me for what?" Aigron asked back with a smile, "In my opinion, I should be the one thanking you. After all, it was you who forgave my mistakes."

"No, I just want to thank you." Teresa replied stubbornly, "Because of you, the world has become different. I...I enjoy every day with you, since we met again, although I I have experienced pain, experienced bumps, and experienced all kinds of inconveniences in life... But I assure you, I have endured all this with a very comfortable state of mind, and I have never regretted it for a second. On the contrary, I regard it as a Trials, as the price that must be paid in exchange for happiness... This price is so worth it, I have never seen such a good deal!

I enjoy every day with you...just let me be selfish for a little while. "

Then, she didn't say any more, but leaned against the young man again, and closed her eyes in enjoyment.

What more could Eggron say?

He found that his original impulsive passion slowly dissipated, replaced by a sense of comfort that seemed to permeate every pore.

The two leaned together like this, enjoying the short but eternal tenderness.　　

110, poet and relatives

Water vapor filled the small bathroom, isolating it from the outside world, and everything seemed to be trapped in a hazy mist, which was both real and illusory.

Aigron and Teresa sat side by side in the bathtub, letting the hot water and steam soak into every inch of their skin, enjoying the intoxicating comfort.

They didn't talk, they just enjoyed the space they had with each other.

Originally, Aigron just wanted to enjoy a moment of leisure that belonged only to him, but now he found that the feeling of having Teresa by his side was also very good, even more wonderful.

Although it seems absurd to talk about "a lifetime" at this age, he has already determined in his heart that this is the partner he will spend his life with in the future—he believes that Teresa has determined this point earlier than him.

Therefore, he not only has to create a better future for himself, but also for her and their future family members.

This gave him a whole new motivation.

"Your Highness...?" At this moment, Teresa suddenly opened her eyes and looked at him.

"Well, what's the matter?" Eggron asked.

"What are you going to do with those Greeks?" Teresa asked in a low voice. "As far as I can see today, the Kolokotronis family has not been able to fully control the situation. Although they launched a coup and temporarily controlled the government and parliament, they probably don't know how many people support them."

Teresa, too, was among the crowd watching as Aegron came ashore and talked with Panos-Kolokotronis.

She keenly discovered that although the scene of welcoming young people was grand, it did not involve the participation of the local people, and the surroundings were heavily guarded.In addition, she also inquired with Edmond Dantès and learned about the current status of the father and son of Colokotronis.

The more she understood the situation, the more worried she became.

Although they were invited to Greece as VIPs at this moment, no one knows how long this glory will last—if the Kolokotronis family suddenly loses power, wouldn't Aegron be in an embarrassing situation next?

"Teresa, don't worry, Greece has always been like this. There are many factions among them, fighting each other, and no one is convinced." After listening to Theresa's worries, Eggron laughed instead, "At least we don't It didn't make the situation any worse."

"Then how do you plan to prevent it?" Teresa asked, "You can't just ignore everything and just act by luck?"

Aegron hesitated.

In the end he decided that he would not hide anything from Teresa.

"Teresa, in fact, I have just ordered Edmond to continue to maintain contact with the opposition. I will not only bet on one place. If Kolokotronis and his son can keep their status, then we have a happy cooperation; if they are not worthy of continued cooperation, then I will find another person who is willing to support me. In short, since I have come here, it is not so easy to drive me away."

"It would be the best if this is the case." Teresa immediately felt relieved, "Your Highness, as long as you are not overwhelmed by the momentary success and can continue to act rationally, then I can rest assured. We are still In a harsh environment, there is no time to celebrate or relax, please continue to be as cautious as before."

Teresa's words touched Eggron's heart-now, Teresa is probably the only one around him who dares to say these words to him.

Since gaining freedom and starting to expand his power, he has used both soft and hard tactics to subdue all his subordinates and cousins. They have all pledged their allegiance to him and recognized his authority, but this also means that they will deliberately avoid those who Listen to topics that you may not be happy with yourself.

If a person is in such an environment for too long, it is possible to lose prudent judgment over time, become vain and conceited, only believe in his own judgment, and dismiss the opinions of others.

Therefore, in order to avoid this situation, he needs someone around him who dares to speak up to him at any time - Teresa is just right.

At least he doesn't have to worry about the motives of Teresa's actions.

"I will, Teresa." He nodded.

Then, he took another deep breath and stood up from the pool.

"Your Highness, are you leaving?" Teresa asked reluctantly.

"Yes, I've had enough of soaking for so long, and time is running out, and Panos Kolokotronis will throw a banquet for me next--it must be a very boring event, but I have to be there."

"I understand." Teresa nodded, "Those Greeks will definitely flatter you."

"It would be fine if it's just flattery." Aigron laughed disdainfully, "They will also spy on my reality in every possible way, and try to gain benefits from me. If I don't pay attention, I will fall into the trap. End like Byron."

"What's Byron's situation?" Teresa immediately became interested and asked quickly.

"Yes, Teresa." Eggron shrugged, "You read and read poems in your study in Vienna, so you may have a lot of romantic imaginations about Mr. Byron's experience in Greece, but I regret that the real world Much uglier than a romantic dream world..."

Then he briefly explained Byron's experience to Teresa.

To put it simply, Byron's experience really illustrates the poet's confusion after touching the real world.

He went to live in Genoa, Italy at that time, and then the Greek War of Independence just started, a congenial friend persuaded him to participate in this great cause.

After hesitating for a while, he finally decided to join the battle.

Then he threw himself into it with all the enthusiasm of a poet, chartered a ship to Greece, and paid out of his own pocket to sponsor the fleet of the Greek Rebels, desperately trying to help the independent cause of the Greeks.

However, with the passage of time, he gradually discovered that the Greek independence movement was not as wonderful as he had imagined, and there was no such thing as a united and fervent revolution of the Greek nation to regain freedom from the invaders.

The revolutionary army was divided into many factions, fighting each other openly and secretly, and sometimes even fighting with knives and guns. Byron had to spend a large part of his energy on persuading the rebels of these different factions to unite.

And these different factions didn't respect the poet very much. They saw a naive British rich man throwing money everywhere, and they completely took him for a ride, and they also wanted to use the poet's reputation as their own signboard to get the European powers. support.

As a result, various factions scrambled to win him over, and the leaders of all factions wrote to Byron, hoping that Byron would join their factions, saying that only they were the real revolutionaries, and the other factions were fakes or bandits. You can only cooperate with him, and then seek financial sponsorship from him by the way.

Receiving such wrangling letters every day made Byron feel dizzy.He doesn't know which faction is right, but he correctly judges that the Greeks are scattered and spend more time fighting among themselves than against the Ottoman enemies, and he believes that neither of them can win Greece's independence , Later, Byron even witnessed the fight between the two factions of the revolutionary army, and then sighed helplessly in his own documents.

Since the "revolutionaries" can't afford his ideals, and he is unwilling to retreat, he has to bite the bullet and bear various responsibilities by himself, form an army and maintain the expenses of the army, and even find a way to solve the problem. supply of military supplies.

The revolutionary leaders had no money to pay the soldiers, so many soldiers came to Byron for money.He spent most of his property on military pay alone.But later the revolutionary cause did not go well, and Byron was almost running out of money.In order to raise funds for the revolution, he sold his ancestral estate in Scotland and planned to use all the money for the Greek independence movement.

However, in a poor place like Greece, a British rich man suddenly fell from the sky, and people naturally wanted to get benefits from him, so people often flocked inexplicably, asking Byron for money under various pretexts, In the end, he could only complain helplessly in letters to his friends and business agents, admitting that he was overwhelmed.

Finally, after dissipating all his wealth and going through untold hardships, he finally formed an army that had begun to take shape. He planned to use this army to attack the Turks and add luster to the cause of Greek independence-however, in this Before the military operation began, he unfortunately contracted pneumonia due to exposure to rain, and eventually died.

Therefore, in order to realize his ideals, the poet Byron actually paid a heavy price until he paid his own life, and his independent career could only end anticlimactically.

It took a while for Aggron to briefly describe Byron's experience to Teresa, and then he made a rather harsh summary——

"So Teresa, I would learn from Byron that I would never take their flattery seriously, and I would never open my purse for them easily. No doubt I am happy to support my friends, but if I If I agree to the demands of these people, I will fall into the same predicament as Byron in a short time." Aigron said with a sneer, "No amount of money can make up for the greed of human nature. This is a bottomless pit. These Greeks People are never worthy of my all-out support, I just want to get something from them."
