Eagle's Glory

"God bless us, we won this victory. But this is only the first step. There are still many challenges waiting for us, and we are not happy yet." He replied calmly.

"Your humility is as awe-inspiring as your talent." Edgar immediately complimented the young man, and then volunteered, "Please allow me to use my insignificant talent to leave you a commemorative painting, Seeing your image at this moment, I can hardly restrain my desire to create."

"Really? Very good, then I am looking forward to your work, Edgar." Aigron nodded with a smile.

Just when Edgar was secretly happy, Aigron suddenly changed the topic, "However, I have other things for you to do right now."

"What's the matter?" Edgar groaned secretly, so he asked nervously.

"I just asked Edmund to be responsible for confining the dead and helping the wounded." Egron said while looking at Edmund Dantès, "It happens that he is short of manpower, so you should join him .”

Edgar suddenly fell to the bottom of his mood.

He had originally seized the opportunity, thinking that he could congratulate His Majesty at the happiest moment, but he did not expect to be self-defeating, but got such a task.

He turned his head to look at the bloody corpses lying on the ground in the distance, and suddenly felt a desire to vomit.

"What's the matter, Edgar?" Eggron asked in a low voice. "Aren't you happy? Then maybe I should arrange some tasks for you that are more like warriors..."

"No, Your Majesty, I am very happy!" Edgar shuddered, and then immediately replied loudly.

"No, Your Majesty, I'd love to!"

Seeing that His Majesty's expression became unfriendly, Edgar no longer hesitated, and immediately agreed to this drudgery.

However, although he was obedient on the surface, he was full of pain in his heart—how could he, a young man who had wandered around in Paris for so many years, suffer so much?

However, he had no room to refuse, he could only agree.

He could see that His Majesty looked down on him a little in his heart, and he did not intend to fight with life and death in exchange for His Majesty's attention like Edmond Dantès.

Father will never be happy to see this result.

So... For myself, especially for the future of the Treville family, I have to sacrifice other people.

After a little deliberation, Edgar made a decision.

"Your Majesty, can you take care of Agnes while I'm on a mission?" he whispered. "It's inconvenient for her to be in the middle of our team... If I'm not around, it's better for her to avoid contact with others."

Aegron froze for a moment, then nodded.

"Then let her come over, I am happy to entertain her now."

After all, having just won the victory, although Egron pretended to be calm on the surface, he was naturally very happy in his heart, and he was very happy to show it off to others—especially a proud person like Agnes who was not his subordinate.

Seeing the young man nodding, Edgar immediately regained his spirits, and he moved closer, then lowered his voice and said to the young man. "Your Majesty... I can tell along the way that Agnes has long been impressed by your demeanor. I think she admires you a little bit."

"What?" Aegron was a little surprised and looked at him suspiciously.

He didn't know what was going on, but from Edgar's handsome and gentle appearance, he saw some malicious aura.

"Couldn't you be adding oil and vinegar on purpose? I don't think Agnes will admire me so easily." After a while, Aegron replied.

As he was talking, he suddenly remembered that just yesterday, Edgar had proposed to find him a woman "to relieve the exhaustion of the journey".

He suddenly understood something in his heart.

"Edgar, what the hell are you planning?!" He frowned and questioned Edgar.

From Aigron's questioning, Edgar saw that His Majesty had already guessed his plan - but he didn't care about being seen out, or it might be better to just point it out.

"Your Majesty, I really didn't lie. Agnes did admire you a lot, but she was too proud to admit it since she was a child." He continued to lie solemnly, "To tell you the truth, from my point of view, None of the aristocrats in Paris is worthy of Agnes, and among all her peers, I think only you are outstanding enough to convince her."

Although he knew that Edgar was deliberately flattering himself, Egron still couldn't help but feel a little proud after hearing it-in his opinion, this was the truth.

So he didn't say a word, looking at Edgar let him continue.

"To tell you the truth, since our couple said goodbye to you in Switzerland and returned to France, Alice has told me several times that she thinks you and Agnes are very suitable, and I kept rebutting her at first—like you How could a wild girl like Agnes be worthy of such an aristocrat? But after a lot of times, I kind of agree with this view..." Edgar spoke with a lot of flowers, and put himself His wife also pulled it out as a shield, "Later, my father also learned about Alice's thoughts, and he was quite supportive, so this time he and Alice asked Agnes to come with me, and he had a little bit of thought. In the unlikely event that you and Agnes develop some wonderful sparks, they won't have to worry about Agnes' future—she'll be looked after by the best people in the world."

Edgar had already drafted these words in his heart many times, so when he said them, he said them smoothly and naturally, without any flaws, and of course, without any shame.

Because his expression was so natural, Aegron believed it for a moment.

Alice, do you think so?

He recalled his experience with Alice in Switzerland in his mind.

They talked cordially, went boating together on the lake, improvised a poem on their own whim, and even gave Alice's child a name at Alice's request.

Alice really respected him very much. On the one hand, this kind of respect must be due to the fact that the Treville family regarded him as the master; but on the other hand, he believed in his own talent, which was also recognized by Alice.

And he also admires Alice's personality and character very much—so no matter how much he despises Edgar in his heart, he still has respect for Mrs. Treville in the distance.

Therefore, when he heard that Alice had planned to turn himself into a sister-in-law, Aigron was surprised, but also had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

"Your Majesty, please be clear. With your wisdom, can't you see the strangeness of Alice's behavior?" After finishing speaking, Edgar asked the young man, "Why did she deliberately let her sister come here? Why? Are you forcing her to stay by my side all the time because she is worried about me? In fact, she has high hopes for you and Agnes..."

Edgar's words were half true and half false—Alice agreed to their father and son's proposal, but he deliberately described the calculations of Treville and his son as Alice's initiative.

After so many years of being in the social arena, Edgar is quite proficient in this kind of speaking skills.

Eggron gradually believed his words.

Indeed, everything makes sense when interpreted in this way.

However, Alice's plan was doomed to be a vain from the very beginning.

When she asked her sister to come, she must have never thought that Teresa had already come by her side, right?

This is a blunder of fate.

What if Teresa didn't come to her at this time?

—He suddenly had an idea.

He couldn't think of a result at once, but he asked himself that he really didn't hate Agnes.

Forget it, now that we've reached this point, it's pointless to think about so many things.

"I see...I understand." He nodded, and then smiled wryly, "I am very grateful to Alice for treating me so highly, but unfortunately, now that I have promised Teresa to marry her, I I will never break this promise, so I am destined to be unable to respond to Alice's kindness..."

"Yes, Your Majesty, as soon as I came here, I knew that Alice's wish was doomed to fail, so I didn't dare to tell you this at the time." Edgar sighed, "It is indeed regrettable! If Iger Nice just stay with you in Switzerland! I believe that will be the happiest result."

Aigron didn't know how to reply to the other party.

After a pause, he turned back to the topic.

"Okay, so what did you mean by telling me all this?"

"There is no other meaning, I just want to take good care of Agnes as much as possible, let her pass this time safely, and then go back to the country with me." Edgar looked at Aigron innocently, "Now I All I think about is how to explain to Alice, and I can't expect anything else."

Although Edgar's words were basically impeccable, Egron still felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

He just looked at Edgar suspiciously, waiting for the other party's next words.

"Please rest assured, even if there is no way to marry you, Alice's respect for you will not be reduced by half." Edgar continued to speak to Aigron sincerely, "Similarly, Agnes can also Becoming your friend, she will be happy to witness your great achievements and praise your heroic deeds. Perhaps this period of experience will also become an unforgettable experience in her life—"

Although Edgar's words are still very careful, Edgar's mention of "friends" is already full of explicit hints.

It's just that Aigron didn't realize the meaning of it-on the one hand, he hadn't stayed in the French court and the court of love, and lacked the tacit understanding of mutual understanding; on the other hand, he couldn't think of it at all, like Treville The general and the descendants of such famous nobles as Edgar would secretly give Agnes as a gift in order to flatter and please.

"Although I cannot meet Alice's expectations due to objective reality, if Alice entrusts her sister to my care, then of course I will take good care of her." Egron agreed without any hesitation. "Besides, I actually admire Agnes quite a bit, and getting along with her as a friend should also be a joyful thing..."

alright!Just wait for your words!

Edgar was overjoyed.

But he didn't show any trace on the surface, because he knew that it was not the time to be done.

He wasn't in a hurry, he knew he could push slowly and let his father's and his vision come true.

Of course, he knew nothing about leading troops to fight and planning and mobilizing on the map, but when he came to the Fengyue field he was familiar with, he was able to do it with ease, and he had a bit of a commanding temperament.

After all, he knew in his heart that as long as he could stir up the flames and create opportunities for them to get along with two such outstanding young girls, they would naturally be attracted to each other—not to mention that they had a relationship before!

Although the glory of the Treville family is destined not to be carried forward by him, can't it be achieved through Agnes?

"Okay, Your Majesty, thank you for being so magnanimous and generous." Edgar bowed and bid farewell to him by the way, "I will not disturb you, please allow me to see Agnes for a while before carrying out your order Si, let me explain the situation to her."

"Well, you go." Aigron waved his hand, indicating that he could leave.

Edgar passed through the still messy battlefield and returned to the place where he stopped temporarily. At this time, the baggage carriage that had just been pulled down because of the hasty march was slowly coming along with the arrival of the logistics troops. here we go.

Edgar followed the baggage convoy to the side of a carriage, and then lightly knocked on the door of the carriage.

The door was quickly opened.

As expected, Agnes in military uniform was sitting inside, looking at her brother-in-law expressionlessly.

"How's the battle going?" She asked in a low voice when she saw Edgar.

As she asked, she looked ahead from the car window.

"It looks like everything is going well?"

"Yes, everything is going well." Edgar nodded. "His Majesty has won the flag, and he is in a very good mood."

"What about you? How are you doing?" Agnes asked.

"Me? So-so." Edgar replied indifferently, "I charged with the army. Although I didn't kill a single enemy, at least I fulfilled my duty."

Agnes looked at Edgar suspiciously.

She already knew her brother-in-law quite well, so she didn't really believe that he would risk his life to charge forward.

But since he said that, Agnes didn't intend to get to the bottom of it, so let's just take it as the truth.

"That's really great. I think Alice will be very happy too." She nodded slightly.

Then, she asked again, "Then your Majesty has arranged any tasks for you now?"

Edgar didn't answer right away, obviously he was also quite embarrassed.

"Did he ask you to paint for him to show off your achievements?" Seeing her brother-in-law's embarrassed expression, Agnes asked.

"If that's the case..." Edgar spread his hands helplessly, "Your Majesty ordered me to collect the remains of the war dead and bury them properly."

Agnes' face turned pale immediately.

Although she is brave, she loves cleanliness after all. When she thinks of the bloody corpses, how can she remain unmoved?

She would rather face ten enemies alone than deal with a lot of dead bodies.

"Really, he would arrange such a task for you... Maybe I should do it too?" She forcefully suppressed the unhappiness in her heart, and then asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry, why am I willing to let the cutest girl in Paris do this kind of thing? Just leave it to me alone." Edgar puffed up his chest with a confident look, "However, in During this time, I can't take care of you."

"I don't need you to take care of me." Agnes glanced sideways, "You just have to do your own thing."

The contempt of his wife and sister did not make Edgar feel any embarrassment. Instead, he laughed, "Even if I don't need to take care of you, it would be too outrageous for you to hang out with a group of big soldiers..."

"Then what do you say?" Agnes asked impatiently.

"I have asked His Majesty, he will take good care of you." Edgar replied immediately.

Although his tone was calm, Agnes was greatly astonished.

"What does it mean to take good care of?" she asked shyly.

"It's literally." Edgar shrugged, "Your Majesty understands our difficulties, and for Alice's sake, he is willing to help."

"This is ridiculous!" Agnes didn't appreciate it, "Why do I need his care?!"

Edgar's face sank, and he suddenly became serious.

"Agnes, I know you have always been arrogant, but now, since Alice asked you to help me, I hope you can put away your temper and obey the arrangement instead of making trouble for us for no reason... Now each of us There are heavy responsibilities on your shoulders, and it is His Majesty’s greatest kindness to have the time to be considerate of you under such circumstances. If you lose your temper again, think how disappointed Alice will be?!”　　

140 revered

"Think how disappointed Alice should be?!"

Edgar's stern words made Agnes a little speechless.

Although she was still not convinced, she couldn't refute it.

She has always been fearless, but she is absolutely unwilling to do things that "let her sister down"——Edgar is right, and now, including Alice, the Treville family has enshrined the boy People are the main ones, so from the perspective of "vassals" and "kings", they really need to be respectful to each other.

But in this case, it is even more necessary to obey his orders.

Feeling guilty, she could only soften her tone.

"Of course I don't want to disobey his orders, I just think that I can take good care of myself, and there is no need to bother him."

"Oh, of course! Agnes, you are amazing, I have always admired you." Seeing that Agnes succumbed, Edgar took advantage of the victory to pursue, "It's just...you have to think about it, what we are doing now Not only did we cause trouble for ourselves, but also caused a lot of trouble for His Majesty. If everyone knew that there was a girl marching with us, what would they think of you? So we can only try our best to control ourselves and not cause His Majesty any trouble. Trouble. I don’t care. Since I’ve come here, of course I have to follow His Majesty’s lead. I have to do whatever he wants me to do. Let alone moving corpses, I have to eat corpses! Similarly, You should also obey assignments and orders, only in this way can you be worthy of my surname and yours, and not embarrass Alice, are you right?"

Agnes listened in silence, momentarily at a loss for words to refute, until at last she answered wearily.
