Eagle's Glory

"Okay, Your Majesty!" Andre agreed, and said a few words to the two people around him, so two or three guards immediately walked to the river beach where Aigron fought just now, and carried the dead wild boar up.

Andre himself stayed where he was, and secretly looked at Aigron and Agnes.

Both of them were covered with dust, what exactly did they do just now... He couldn't help thinking about it.

"Your Majesty, did you have a good time just now?" He whispered next to Aigron. "It must be fun to walk with Miss Agnes?"

"Forget it..." Aigron shook his head annoyedly, "It was fun at first, she taught me archery, but then I did something stupid and was punched by her so badly that I almost spit out bile, it's okay She didn't have a saber on her body, otherwise I'm afraid I'd have fallen here."

André Davout was stunned when he heard that, he didn't expect that Miss Agnes would not change her nature when she was with His Majesty, she would be so tricky and disrespectful to His Majesty.

"She's just too much..."

"Okay, let's let this matter go." Aigron waved his hand, indicating that this matter is over, "Today is generally quite pleasant."

Andre secretly glanced at the young man in admiration. He was obviously covered in mud and had been punched hard, but he was still calm and breezy in such a distressed situation, and he was really in a good mood.

"We all know Miss Agnes's personality. She has a strong nature, so she won't give in easily." Taking advantage of His Majesty's good mood, he interceded for Agnes again, "Your Majesty, please don't mind her fault. I believe that as long as you are there, she will definitely admire you..."

Aigron looked at his captain of the guard in surprise, never expecting him to speak like this.

"If possible, we are all happy to see you accept Miss Agnes...it will be of great help to enhance your prestige." Although Andre felt his scalp tingling at Aggron's sight, he still had the courage, I carefully said the words I had discussed with Edgar, "After all, she is widely respected in Paris and is deeply popular among the younger generation. If she is on your side, many people will feel your appeal... ..."

Aegron blinked, then turned to look at Agnes not far away.

At this time, she was standing quietly by herself, looking up at the stream in the distance, as if in a daze.

Is she reminiscing about what happened just now?

So how is she feeling?Is it anger, or regret?Or is there still a little bit of expectation?

Of course Aigron couldn't guess it, but he knew what he was thinking.

He... wanted to keep Agnes by his side, to taste the feeling just now - he liked Agnes's ease and tact.

He didn't know how much of his thoughts on Agnes were out of love and how much out of interests, but as he said just now - love and interests were never things that needed to be separated for him .

The words that Agnes angrily scolded him just now seemed to be still in her ears.

Yes, what she said is correct, but... I have already done so many unreasonable things in this world, so why should I be afraid of one or two more?

"I'll let Agnes stand by our side..." He looked away and whispered to Andre.

Then, he added as if to his captain of the guard, and also to himself, "I am the emperor, I can have whatever I want, and I don't care what is right or wrong? As long as I want, I will have it all." want!"

"You are right, Your Majesty." Andre naturally had no objection to this, and immediately bowed his head in agreement.　　

176, changing the situation

After explaining to Andre Davout, Egron also ended his hunting trip and returned to Nafpaktos with his guards and Agnes.

However, compared to the complacency he had when he left in the morning, he is now a little more preoccupied—as for Agnes, she is even more preoccupied.

It can be seen that Aigron's actions just now greatly shook the girl's heart and made her angry, but deep down in her heart, she didn't seem to be that angry.

The original longing and affection for the young man were entangled with loss and anger at this time, which made her at a loss, and finally solved the problem simply by escaping.

After returning to his residence, Aegron walked up to Agnes, saluted her and apologized again.

"Agnes, I apologize for my absurd behavior and hope you will forgive me."

As he just said to Andre, he has decided to keep Agnes by his side no matter what, and in order to achieve this goal, he must start by mending the relationship between the two.

"Since I have already said to forgive you, I will naturally keep my promise, and you don't have to continue to apologize." Agnes replied calmly, "Just, please be careful in the future, and there will be no next time."

No, I just want next time, next time, next time!Aegron answered in his heart.

"Okay, I'm very glad that you can forgive me and let today's turmoil end... We can also discuss how to get along in the future." He smiled.

However, his smile did not affect Agnes, she still looked at the young man indifferently.

"How do we get along?" Agnes laughed mockingly, "Did something happen between us that required a change in the way we get along? In my opinion, I should treat you more at a distance from now on."

"That's not okay." Aigron shook his head, "I want to continue to be friends with you—I want to continue to be able to watch your smile, because it makes me very happy."

"It's just your own idea, why should I obey?" Agnes asked angrily, and then she laughed ironically, "Yes, there are thousands of people here who bow their heads and listen to your orders, and what you say is what you say ...Naturally you think I have to obey orders, right?"

"No...Agnes, you misunderstood me. This is not an order, nor do I mean to threaten you with a knife or gun, because I know that a noble soul will not bow to a knife and a gun, and a friend does not rely on orders. I can get it." Aigron shook his head, then looked at the other person gently, "I'm just expressing my decision, I... admire you very much, and I can even feel the preciousness of your soul from the bottom of my heart , because of this, I approach you unconsciously, and I will try my best to keep you by my side, you can refuse, or even refuse all the time, but as long as we continue to get along, the final result may not be that I lose —I think I will get my wish, as I have done before."

Aigron's expression was very serious and dedicated, as if it came from the heart - of course, he actually said that on purpose.

Although Agnes has a strong personality, she is young and competitive. These are her weaknesses. Although Agnes is the same age as Agnes, she has already learned to be so insightful in the court, so he can grasp these weaknesses.

When you are young, you are romantic and willing to listen to passionate words; while you are competitive, you are willing to face challenges head-on.

Sure enough, as he expected, Agnes was speechless.

She didn't know which of the young man's words were true and which was false, but these words seemed to touch her heartstrings easily.

She could feel that when the two of them were talking today, whether it was hunting or now, this young man was unusually frank, and even a little confided.

"You underestimate me!" Distraught, she shouted back, "I won't worry about you... In fact, I wish your bloody Greek war would end soon so that I could take my worthless brother-in-law with me." Go home quickly, as far away from you as possible."

"However, even if you hide in Paris, you can't escape." Aigron still looked at the other party calmly, "My throne is there, and one day I will go back, and then I will make you the person admired by all French people." Idol...Of course, I believe that you don't really care about such a false name—but, I hope to embellish our friendship with the most gorgeous lace."

After all, he has experienced in the entertainment field, and Aigron can deal with little girls like Agnes with ease.

Agnes was annoyed and ashamed, she didn't want to meet Aggron's eyes, and finally she slapped the table casually.

"I can tell that your heart is as hard as a rock. Everything in your eyes is either a stumbling block or a stepping stone. No matter how emotional you are, you can control yourself to make a cold judgment. Calmly approaching and calmly fleeing..."

Then, she took a few deep breaths, tried to calm down her mood, and then sighed, "You are hateful, but you also have a charm that makes people worry about it. That's probably why Princess Teresa can't let go... But , Your Highness, can't you think about what you are doing? Since you have chosen Princess Teresa to be with you, why bother to torture other people's hearts? I...I really can't imagine why you are so dissatisfied! "

After finishing speaking, as if she had relieved the burden in her heart, she walked away in a huff.

Aegron quietly watched the back of Agnes leaving.

He had to admit that her last words hit his vitals, as if whipping his soul.

It seems that despite having little interest in politics or social life, she still has an innate intelligence and acumen.

It's a pity that this kind of soul torture can't shake him.

"Because, I like it, and I want to chase the most beautiful things in the world. I am insatiable and never satisfied. I have lost everything, so I don't want to lose anything. On the contrary, I have to get what I want. Stop it." Eggron replied to the void in a low voice, "I want to conquer and take everything I want, regardless of whether I deserve it or not... This is what I expect from myself."

This is exactly what he thinks deep in his heart.

That's enough for today. Agnes may have reached her limit now, and she can only wait until later to repair the relationship between the two.

And he believes that he has plenty of opportunities.

After a moment of silence, he put aside his quarrel with Agnes and refocused on his work.

He opened the letter that had just been sent from Mesonei at the rear today, and the first letter was a letter from Rome written by his great-uncle Joseph Fish Cardinal.

In the letter, the cardinal reported to him the good news he had been looking forward to for a long time-under the operation of Cardinal Fish, the Pope of Rome had publicly praised his righteous deeds in his sermons.

What's more, unexpectedly, His Majesty's words were so advanced that he was a little flattered by himself—you must know that not everyone is qualified to assume the role of "Christian example".

Obviously, the pope has his own purpose, but the objective fact is that he kept his promise, so Egron is very satisfied with the pope's performance.

In the agreement he had previously negotiated with the Pope’s representative, Cardinal Vittorio Esposito, both parties implemented it in stages. Now that the Pope is delivering a sermon, it means that a new stage can be entered.

In the letter, his great-uncle also told him that Cardinal Vittorio Esposito wanted to involve his illegitimate son in order to have a share of it.

Of course, Aigron readily accepted this request—the cardinal did this out of self-interest, but objectively speaking, it also showed that he was getting more and more optimistic about himself now.

In other words, this is an intuitive proof-the stock market of "Bonaparte" is bullish now, and some people are willing to invest.

As for Aigron, who was in the start-up stage, of course he chose not to reject anyone who came. After all, he was weak now, so he naturally would not reject anyone who came to all forces.

Therefore, he immediately drafted a reply letter, instructing his uncle and grandpa to continue to maintain a good relationship with the cardinal. As for the illegitimate child, he immediately prepared a generous gift and tried to win him over.

After processing this letter, he opened another file, and this time, he was even more excited than before.

The content of the letter is actually very simple-Metternich decided to send his confidant secretary, Mr. Friedrich Genz, as the ambassador to Istanbul.

Although the news was brief, to Aigron, this was nothing more than a thunderstorm on the ground.

Of course he could see that there was only one reason for Metternich to do this—that is, the situation in Turkey was about to undergo an astonishing change, and he needed to respond with all his might.

Although he is very confident, he also has self-knowledge. He knows that the so-called "amazing change" is certainly not because of himself-so, there is only one answer.

The Tsar is about to send troops.

And that was all he had to wait for.

For him, all the turmoil in Greece is not for the Greeks themselves, but for him to get what he wants in the following international situation.

Of course, he has no way of leading the so-called international situation at present. He can only try his best to follow the trend, stir up the situation, and then pray that the situation will go in the direction he wants.

And now...he had indeed waited for the situation he wanted the most.

After all, the Tsar could not restrain his ambition, and decided to use the victory of the foreign war to wash away the stain of suppressing domestic progressives.

Although he has a foresight of history, but witnessing history in person at this moment feels completely different—he knows that he is already slightly affecting the trajectory of history.

In the future, he will definitely do more.

He and the Romanov royal family have a deep hatred that cannot be resolved, but at the moment he has nothing but gratitude to the young tsar.

Since the tsar wanted to act, he had to act faster on his own side—because the more brilliant his side was, the more reason he had to be watched. People who were frightened by the tsar's actions would eventually discover their own value.

Take action!He clenched his fists and said to himself.

His rest is enough, and it is time to continue marching. If he can win another brilliant victory before the tsar sends troops, then the world will know who did his best for the liberation of the Greeks.

Just like that, Eggron stood up and went to take a bath full of ambition to wash off the mud and dust from hunting.

----------------------------------------------

While Egron was excited about the new news, Teresa, who stayed in Mesone, was also excited about the news from Austria.

However, she is different from Aigron. After receiving her father's letter, she was happiest with another piece of news——

Metternich has implicitly expressed on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor that he is willing to admit her marriage to Aigron.

Although she was ready to break with Austria when she left home, but deep down in her heart, of course she still has an incomparable nostalgia for her motherland and the family she came from, and she hopes more than anyone else to be able to Get royal approval.

And now, what she dreamed of finally fell into her hands, what could make her happier than this?

Of course, she also knew that this belated blessing was definitely not without any conditions.

Metternich hoped that he and His Royal Highness could act according to his wishes.

However, she is not disgusted with this request. After all, they originally planned to obtain and objectively need the secret support of the great powers.

Therefore, it doesn't matter if you compromise with Metternich temporarily.

With this in mind, she summoned Captain Foresty who was with her.

"Your Highness, do you have any orders?" The captain saluted her as soon as he saw her, and then asked again.

"Yes, sir, I have a task for you—" Teresa didn't show politeness, but went straight to the topic, "I just received a letter from my father, Prime Minister Metternich has now sent a new I am the ambassador to Turkey, and I will take office immediately. I hope you can take my letter and my father's certificate to Istanbul, and then meet him as an Austrian, so that we can keep in touch afterwards."

The captain froze for a moment.

What he cared about was not the danger of this trip, but he didn't expect that he would have a relationship with the Austrian authorities again.

"You...you mean that Your Excellency the Prime Minister has forgiven His Highness?"

Teresa didn't answer, just nodded with a smile, but she couldn't hide her pride and excitement.

"That's great!" the captain blurted out.

As an Austrian, although he reluctantly served Aigron because of His Royal Highness Teresa, deep down in his heart he still hoped to serve his motherland.

"Next, I will rely on you. Please remember that your actions are very important to us." Teresa urged again, "In order to show due sincerity, I will present a gift to Mr. Ambassador, please Hand it over together."

"Okay, I understand..." The captain nodded again and again, and then hesitated, "However, I was entrusted with the important task of guarding the treasure by His Highness. If I leave, it doesn't matter to you, right?"

"Of course it doesn't matter." Teresa replied proudly and confidently, "Now we have our army here, and everything is under my control, so don't worry."

Then, she frowned slightly, "It's His Highness...I really miss it."

"He must be thinking of you too, Your Highness," replied the captain. "In my opinion, you will be able to get what you want, and I will do my best for it."

"Thank you." Teresa saluted him with a smile, and watched the captain turn and leave.　　

177, fortress and splendor

After making up his mind, Aigron summoned his main confidantes and conveyed his next combat order.

Undoubtedly, now that the international situation is developing in the direction he wants, he has to take advantage of it all the more—he knows that how much weight he can have on the stage next depends entirely on how much performance he has achieved.

Although he has won a brilliant victory now, it is not enough. He still needs to decorate himself with more and bigger victories.

He had captured Naphpaktos and held it, and he was about to march west, as he had said in his letter to Teresa, to try to take Mesolonghion.
