Eagle's Glory

Agnes's mood was like an overwhelming situation, and she managed to regain her composure.

"It's really hard, but what can I do? Some things may be predestined, and since they happen to me, I can only admit that I'm unlucky... In the raging sea, it's good to be able to survive, how dare you hope Perfect?" Finally, she replied with a little sadness. "At least I have some ability to help my family."

"Besides admitting to being unlucky, maybe there are some better ways." Aigron replied in a low voice.

"A better way?" Agnes was a little surprised. "any solution?"

"The best solution...is now, cut me off with a sword while I'm not prepared." Eggron replied with a smile.

Agnes' eyes widened suddenly, unable to believe what she heard.

"I'm not wrong... If you do this now, the supporters of the Bonaparte family will be leaderless. Although my cousin can inherit my name, it may take more time to win people's hearts again." It's been a long, long time, maybe even 30 or [-] years. Since it can't be done, then your sister doesn't have to work hard with her father... What do you have to worry about?" Aigron replied with a smile.

Agnes blinked her eyes, only then did she realize that the boy in front of her was just teasing her.

"You...don't be joking! I'm still waiting for a good solution from you...!" She glared at Aigron angrily as she spoke, "If you just want to amuse me, please don't say any more Already!"

"Okay, okay, sorry...I'm not joking." Aegron quickly waved his hand, "Then Agnes, I have another idea."

Agnes said nothing, just looked at him suspiciously.

Eggron became serious again, then turned around, looking at the endless ocean in front of him.

"Let's make a private pact - if I fail and achieve nothing, then I will not live, and I will write to my followers before then, asking them to abandon this hopeless cause and release them from their allegiance to Bo. I will write a letter to the Treville family specifically to ask them to pledge their loyalty to the royal family. In this way, your sister will no longer have to go into exile. On the other hand, if I win in the end, then you Keep your family and make them serve me too, and all the rifts between us can be wiped away-I think Alice will be very happy to take care of them."

Agnes was confused when she heard it, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

If it was anyone else, they would only think that asking their father to change his position was "overturning the clouds" and "having no political integrity", but Agnes, who grew up in exile since she was a child, had no loyalty to the royal family at all. From her point of view, if the royal family loses, it's okay to abandon the royal family.

Rather, Aigron is giving himself a chance to choose freely after the game is over.

"This is special preferential treatment for you and your sister, only for this family." While she was thinking, Aigron continued, "What do you think?"

"Okay... that's fine." Agnes nodded lightly, "That's it. But..."

"But what?" Agron asked.

"'Then I won't live in this world', why did you say it so decisively? In my opinion, even if your career fails, you can still live a good life, and you still have a lot of room for your talents..." Agnes asked in a low voice, "I admire you very much. You are able to clarify your life goals at a young age, and then go all the way with fearless courage... But you have to think about it, there must be many people who don't want to see you leave human."

"Including you?" Aegron asked back.

He was deliberately making her happy.

As expected, Agnes blushed instantly.

But to Eggron's surprise, she didn't lose her temper next, but nodded slightly.

"Including me. If you just disappear, this world will lose a very interesting and very dazzling person early. It's a pity to think about it."

Aegron was stunned for a moment.

He could see that this was what Agnes thought from the bottom of her heart. ,

It wasn't out of flattery or flattery, and absolutely didn't have any utilitarian thoughts, but just recognized his existence.

The feeling of being affirmed by others is indeed very comfortable...

He couldn't help laughing again, and answered loudly.

"Then you can pray for my victory, so everything will be perfect?"　　

142, old grudges and new grudges

"Then you can pray for my victory, so everything will be perfect?"

Aegron said loudly to Agnes with a smile on his face.

He really didn't expect that Agnes would reply to him like this.

Right now, the sun has almost completely sunk into the sea, and the hazy night begins to occupy the sky, leaving only the last few rays of light on the sea surface, still struggling tenaciously.

At the moment, Agnes is standing on the embankment and looking at the sea, her eyes are firm and deep, with awe-inspiring pride and heart-touching sincerity.

"As far as I am concerned, if I have to choose a side, then the friend's victory is better than the old man's victory. However, Aigron, no one can predict the arrangement of fate. God knows what will happen next? I think a person It's good to take risks for your own ideals, but human power is exhausted after all, don't force yourself too much... In my opinion, even if you can't become emperor in the end, you can still become an excellent poet, an excellent swordsman , Isn’t this already very, very admirable? Ordinary people may not be able to achieve one of these achievements in their entire lives... Besides, the people around you, especially Princess Teresa, cherish you so much—so You should cherish your precious life even more, it is easy for you to die, but the living will bear all the pain."

Agnes said such words with a dignified and serious attitude that was rarely seen in her own eyes.

Her voice, combined with the sound of the waves, even sounded like an aria to Eggron, soft and touching.

Of course, he is not so arrogant that he thinks that his charm has completely convinced Agnes. He is very clear that Agnes hopes that he can cherish her life purely because of the starting point of "cherishing talents".

According to common sense, talented people tend to be conceited and have no tolerance for others. They don't want others to be better than themselves, but Agnes doesn't.Although she has a proud and confident personality, she is never jealous of others' excellence, on the contrary, she will sincerely appreciate and cherish——

This is Agnes, so forthright and kind.

Because of this, he admired Agnes even more.

As for whether he will take the initiative to seek death after failure, he has never seriously considered this question at all.

Because...he couldn't give himself any room for hesitation, he could only have the obsession of success in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have done these things in the first place.

"I'm really sorry that I used such a harsh topic to affect your mood." He smiled slightly and changed the subject, "Okay, may I now consider that we have reached an agreement?"

Agnes nodded slightly. "Thank you, I think this is indeed the best solution."

"Well, very good." Aigron also nodded, then took two steps forward, and stood shoulder to shoulder with Agnes, looking at the sea in the distance.

"In Switzerland half a year ago, Alice and I went boating on Lake Constance, and we stood together like this, watching the sunset..." Aigron expressed his feelings, "At that time, the two of us had a good conversation, and I think Alice's She has a stronger mind than most men, and I really hope to see her again one day, I think we should have more pleasant things to talk about."

Agnes lowered her eyes slightly, and after being told by Aigron, she also missed her sister a little bit.

"I think that day should not be far away." She replied in a low voice. "I don't know how cute my nephew or niece will be... Now that we are here, we have completely lost contact with each other. I just hope that my sister and children are well. May God bless them."

"You and Alice have such a deep bond. It makes me envious, because you know that although my father had another illegitimate child, and my mother married another child after my father died, I have no real brothers and sisters. , so there is no way to experience this kind of brotherly love." Aigron expressed his feelings.

"Actually... not everyone is like this." Agnes suddenly smiled wryly, "I originally thought that the relationship between my sister and I was very common, but then I discovered that in those high-ranking and powerful families, It is normal for brothers and sisters to be indifferent to each other or even to hate each other... Maybe, people don’t always cherish everything they already have.”

"Yes, this is a very rare emotional bond, and it is worth cherishing forever." Aigron nodded, "You two are my friends, and I will try my best to help you. No matter what happens, I am full of love for you." pay homage."

He found that it was useless to coerce and lure a person with Agnes' temper. She was stubborn and stubborn, and would not easily listen to other people's opinions—but as long as Alice was mentioned, Agnes was particularly easy to subdue .

What an enviable sisterhood... But there is no doubt that this is also her character weakness.

Of course, having this "weakness" is by no means a misfortune.

After all, if a person abandons all the fetters of family and friendship and becomes free of "weaknesses", then what is the interest in his life?

"We sisters will try our best to help our friends." Agnes smiled at Aigron.

After opening her heart this time, she finally admitted that this young man was her friend.

Agnes has been in contact with peers since she was a child. Among them are admirable opponents, some ladies who are occasionally met in social situations but are not worth mentioning at all, and there are female companions and maids at home, but only Lack of friends alone.

On the one hand, it is because of her arrogance and arrogance, there are too few people who can fall into her eyes; but on the other hand, it is not because of her prestige that most of her peers dare not approach at all.

Looking at her usual words and deeds and her impressive achievements, others only think of her as an arrogant and violent young lady. How can she see the kind, sensitive, What about the soul that cherishes family members and does not envy wealth and honor?

Maybe being able to meet a peer who can touch the soul also gave Agnes some kind of catharsis.

Then, the two fell silent at the same time, quietly watching the last ray of setting sun being swallowed by the black ocean.

At this moment, on the steps of the breakwater, a black figure reappeared. Aigron turned his head to look over and found that his captain of the guard, Andre Davout, had returned.

"Andrei, what's the matter?" he asked then.

"The letter has been sent, Your Majesty." Andrei stood still a few steps away from them, and then replied loudly, "Did you have a good chat with Miss Agnes?"

"It was a very pleasant chat." Aigron replied without thinking. "Miss Agnes is a pleasant person."

easy-going?That's just for you... Andre cursed in his heart.

"Dinner is ready. Do you and Miss Agnes go now, or wait a little longer?" However, he did not show it, but continued to ask respectfully.

"Since it's already night, let's go have dinner." Aegron looked at Agnes.

"Okay, I happen to be a little hungry too." Of course Agnes had no objection, and agreed directly.

So they left the sea and came to have dinner in the fortress where Aegron lived temporarily.

Ever since he left Methoni and started marching all the way, Egron usually only ate dry food for the march, and at most he added a little dried salted fish as a condiment; but today is different, he conquered the fortress and port, as the victor , he naturally has the privilege of expropriation and plunder.

So today his dinner was very sumptuous, with grilled chicken and lamb chops on the table, and Agnes, as the only guest he invited, sat next to him to have dinner together.

Similarly, just because of today's victory, Aegron's appetite was very good. Even if Agnes was sitting aside, he had no scruples and devoured the food.

And Agnes did not express dissatisfaction with this, she just carefully cut the meat into small pieces, and then ate in silence.

Soon, the dinner ended in Aigron's turmoil. Aigron had the food taken away, and then motioned to André Davout.

"Andre, I think it's time for everyone to rest. Have you arranged a room for Agnes?" he asked.

"It has been arranged, Your Majesty." Andre replied immediately.

Then, he glanced at Agnes with some guilt, "It's right next to you."

Aegron looked up at him in astonishment. "Why such an arrangement?"

"Your Majesty, what Edgar is afraid of is exposing Agnes to everyone, which will cause her too much trouble, so in order to solve this worry, I think it is best to let her stay here, after all, you are surrounded by heavy security , so that no one will offend her."

Aegron thought about it and thought it was right, so he looked at Agnes again and asked for her opinion.

Agnes' expression was obviously awkward, but she didn't seem to know what to refute, so she hesitated for a moment and then nodded lightly.

Since Agnes has no objections, then Aegron will no longer be entangled.

"Okay, then take her to rest." Aigron nodded, "Remember, although Agnes is generous, you should also pay attention, she is a woman after all, so don't interfere with her normal daily life. "

"Yes, Your Majesty." Andre immediately responded, "I have been taught a lesson, but I will never forget how powerful Miss Agnes is. How dare you offend her?"

His words caused a chuckle from both of them.

"Good night, Agnes." After a smile, Agron said goodbye to Agnes.

"Good night, Eggron." Agnes also waved goodbye to Eggron gracefully.

Andre then takes Agnes away.

After they left, Aigron did not rest immediately, he picked up the pen and paper again, and continued to write today's notes under the oil lamp.Then, he picked up the map of the nearby area, studied it carefully, and prepared to meet the next challenge.

The pleasure just now has been pushed to the back of his mind at this moment, there are too many important things waiting for him to do, the communication with Agnes is just an occasional adjustment.

And not long after, Andre came back again.

"Your Majesty, I have already settled Miss Agnes."

"Very good." Eggron continued to write on the table without raising his head. "Anything else?"

"The Count of Monte Cristo begs you," answered Andrea. "He looks preoccupied."

"Oh?" Aigron was a little surprised, so he put down the pen in his hand, "Then let him come over."

Andre went out, and soon brought Edmond Dantès over.

"Good evening, Edmund." Eggron asked the other party gently, "I'm looking for you so late, do you have anything to report?"

"Your Majesty, I..." Edmund had a strange expression, as if he hesitated to speak.

"What?" Aegron was surprised, so he asked the other party. "Say it."

Edmund Dantès hesitated for a while, and finally made up his mind, "You gave me the work of collecting the dead and cleaning up the prisoners, and I did so, and then when the prisoners were being interrogated...someone told me that he knew Phil South."

Aigron frowned at first, but at any moment he remembered who that Fernand was.

"Fernand de Morcerf?" he asked.

Fernand de Morcerf was the one who deliberately denounced the sailor Edmund, imprisoned him for more than ten years, and robbed his fiancée, of course Aigron knew—he was even with him Met once in Schönbrunn Palace.

"Hey, that guy pretended to be a good surname for himself!" Edmund Dantès laughed with anger and hatred, "Yes, that's him."

"What happened to him?" Eggron asked again.

"You may not know it. According to my investigation, Fernan went to Greece to serve as the instructor of Ioannina Pasha, but he betrayed his benefactor and exchanged his benefactor's life for a reward... This vicious bastard doesn't do any good anywhere."

Although Aigron actually knew all this, he still made a surprised expression on purpose.

"Is there such a thing?"

"Yes... Your Majesty." Edmund Dantès suppressed the anger in his heart, and then told Aigron everything he had learned from his investigation.

"Okay, I probably understand..." Egron nodded slightly after listening, "I can understand why you despise and hate him so much, Edmund. But why did you mention him to me tonight? ?”

"After I interrogated the officers among the captives today, I found out that although Fernand has been reused and promoted after returning to France, he still hasn't completely cut off contact with this place, and he is also regarded as an expert on Near East affairs by the senior French army. He also visited the Egyptian army and served as an instructor for a while."

Edmond Dantès paused for a moment, then continued. "So, Your Majesty, I have reason to suspect that he may also be sent here by the French government this time to carry out some actions that are not conducive to you."

"In that case, it is indeed possible." Aigron remained calm. "But it's just speculation right now."

"Your Majesty, I implore you...if he really comes and falls into our hands..." Edmond Dantès looked at the young man with excited eyes, "then hand him over to me."
