Eagle's Glory

Although it seemed that he was giving her a choice, he knew in his heart that Agnes would actually choose only one thing, and he just wanted to use this method to show how much he valued her.

"Before you came here with me, and you once went to the castle with me to witness the battle between me and the enemy—but it was only a short-term battle after all, and this time the situation may be different. The enemy's defense is relatively strong. It may take longer for me to be strong, and I cannot guarantee the living conditions or even the safety of everyone around me. If it is my subordinates, I will not ask their opinions, because when each of them works for me, they will It has been acquiesced that they have to bear this risk, but you...you are different, you are not my subordinate, but my friend, I don't want to force you to suffer..."

Aegron continued to add a sentence, and then kept looking at Agnes, as if waiting for his answer.

Sure enough, Agnes was not intimidated by it.

"Is Edgar going?" she retorted.

"Since he came to follow me, of course he will go." Eggron replied directly.

"Of course I will go, I was entrusted by others, and I don't want to lose my promise because of it." Agnes gave her own answer, "As for the dangers and hardships...what am I afraid of now? "

"You are really admirable." Aigron nodded, "Then, I have a gracious request."

"What?" Agnes asked in surprise.

"You see, I bear the lives of so many people on my shoulders, and I will take Edgar with me, so I must remain calm at all times and cannot allow any mistakes—" He smiled slightly, and then turned to Edgar Nisi stretched out her hand, "So, I really don't have time to worry about the unhappiness before. Please show mercy and erase the shadow in my heart, can you?"　　

180, burning with worry

"... Please be merciful and remove the shadow in my heart, can you?"

Seeing that Aegron spoke so sincerely and politely, Agnes knew in her heart that he had given him the utmost courtesy as much as he could.

She is not a small-minded person, and she has always admired the young man in front of her for a while, so at this time, she is too embarrassed to dwell on Aigron's previous offense.

Furthermore, Aigron will start a new battle next time, and he really shouldn't affect everyone because of the things that have passed.

So, she stretched out her hand silently, and held the young man's hand, expressing her heart silently.

Aegron clenched her hand tightly, and Agnes wanted to pull it out after a while, but he kept holding it, and he didn't let go until a while later, then took a step back and bowed to Agnes Farewell, "Thank you for your magnanimity, allowing me to devote myself to the cause of justice... You will see, I will create achievements that others cannot match!"

"Then I wish you success." Agnes replied with a smile.

Although this smile is very reluctant, it is enough to show her mood at the moment.

Then Aegron turned and left.

The smile on his face was indeed from the bottom of his heart, because he had already noticed that the remaining affection for him in Agnes's heart had not disappeared.

This is enough.

===========================

While Egron was going to see Agnes, Teresa, who stayed behind at the port of Mesone, was also receiving another person.

This man was none other than his ally, Panos Kolokotronis.

He was originally by his father's side, but after receiving the invitation from Teresa, he hurried here to meet Teresa.

After arriving at the hotel that had been requisitioned before, under the guidance of Chanel, he went upstairs, and then in the reception room, he saw a girl who usually lived reclusively.

"Nice to meet you, beautiful lady." As soon as he saw Teresa, he saluted her in fluent French.

He knew that this young girl was the "favorite concubine" of the Duke of Reichstedt, and she was given full authority by him to be in charge of all affairs in the rear, so he did not dare to put on airs in front of her, but turned to her Showed enough respect.

As Aigron continued to win in the expedition, he valued the importance of this ally more and more, so he became more polite to Teresa.

"Nice to meet you, sir." Teresa also knelt and saluted him.

After the initial pleasantries, the two quickly got to the point.

"I invited you here because I received a letter from His Highness, and he wanted me to ask you for help." Teresa said very politely.

"If you need anything, please feel free to say it, as long as we can satisfy it." Panos is also a real person, he didn't hesitate at all, and he agreed directly, "We admire the hero the most, and now Mr. Leading his men to shed blood for Greece, we must all do our best to help him due to circumstances and reasons."

"It would be great to have your words." Teresa smiled with satisfaction.

Then, she directly stated Aigron's request, "First of all, he hopes that you will recruit a group of sergeants from your subordinates to supplement his military strength, because he will have a bigger military operation next—and he hopes , those born in and around Mesolongi are preferred."

Panos did not reply immediately, but raised his eyebrows slightly.

"In other words, he hopes to attack Messolonghi?"

"Yes." Teresa nodded directly.

Now that His Highness's actions are on the line, there is no need to hide it from his allies.

Now he needs more cannon fodder, as well as a guide who is familiar with the local conditions—it would be even better if it was someone who escaped from the Messolonghi Fortress when it fell.

After getting the confirmation, Panos first showed joy, and then hesitated a little.

"It is a good choice to march into Messolonghi, but...the fortifications there are strong, and it is not easy to chew."

"That's why he asked you for help." Teresa replied immediately, "It is impossible to quickly resolve this war without the help of someone familiar with the local situation. Sir, I hope you can add a little help to His Highness." force, "

"Okay." Now that we have talked about this, Panos Kolokotronis can't refuse anymore, "Not enough... As you know, we are currently confronting the Turkish army, and we really can't tell the difference. There are too many people, I can only select those who are familiar with the local conditions from the army and send them there, the number may be only a few hundred..."

"Too little." Teresa shook her head and did not agree with this statement, "Sir, I understand your difficulties, but you also have to admit that because of His Highness's assistance and containment, the difficulties you and your father are facing The pressure has been greatly reduced, and the more brilliant his victories are, the easier it will be on your side—so you should show more sincerity to your allies, both emotionally and practically."

Under Teresa's stubborn insistence, Panos could only make some concessions, "Well, since you said so, let's try our best to get more than 1000 people for him to command. This is already as much as we can. best effort..."

Seeing what Panos said, Teresa also understood that she could only go so far on this issue.

Therefore, in order not to affect the relationship between the two parties, she nodded and agreed to this condition.

"Then do it this way—"

Panos breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then is there anything else you want?" he asked.

"One more thing." Teresa replied immediately, "To tell you the truth, since we came here, we have been trying to contact the Austrian authorities, and during this time, our efforts have also paid off. It has achieved results... In the near future, the Istanbul embassy in Austria may send a commissioner secretly to understand the situation here, if you are interested, you can contact him together—"

Although her tone was flat, Panos was delighted to hear it.

In the situation where the Turks counterattacked and the independent army was in danger, the greatest hope of the Greeks was the intervention of the great powers. Now, although the situation has improved after the support of the Duke of Reichstedt, they want to shake Turkey's centuries-old rule. However, the attitude of the European powers is still indispensable.

At this time, the appearance of Austria is tantamount to the real gospel.

"Of course! I'm very happy!" He agreed immediately without thinking about it, "No matter when and where, as long as you call, I will gladly come."

"That would be the best." Teresa still smiled, "However, let me remind you that this matter must be kept strictly confidential at present, and it is best that only your father and son know about it, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to everyone -"

"Of course, I understand, I understand." Panos repeatedly agreed.

After a while, he recovered from his excitement, and suddenly looked at the girl in front of him suspiciously.

This "favorite concubine" is not only beautiful, but also has a calm and elegant temperament, and her conversation is also relaxed. She is not at all like the kind of girl who purely serves others with sex. It is more like she has received similar education since she was a child. people...

Then think of her being able to contact the Austrian authorities...

Panos' pupils dilated slightly. Obviously, he had already guessed Teresa's identity at this time.

Then, he was extremely shocked by his conjecture - if it was true, then how could she do such a deviant thing?

"You are... what's your name?" He asked almost incoherently.

But even at this moment, Teresa still didn't say anything, she just smiled lightly.

"Sir, why do you have to worry about who I am? As long as the person standing here is the plenipotentiary agent of His Highness, who is fully trusted by him and can sign any agreement with you, isn't that enough? Isn't everything else Insignificant minutiae?"

"Some things are trivial, but there are some things we can't ignore..." Panos shook his head, still wanting to get to the bottom of this matter, "If you are really the person I guessed, then we must treat you as we should. posture to deal with you..."

It seems that he has already guessed everything... Teresa thought to herself.

Suddenly she felt a little funny again—maybe they knew of her existence only because of the sensational incident of His Highness.

She was remembered by the world because of the disaster, and she believed that after a while, her name would be known to the world in a more brilliant way.

Now that this was mentioned, Teresa simply stopped hiding.

"Your guess should be right, I am indeed His Highness's fiancée." She looked at Panos calmly, "So you see, isn't it reasonable for me to do these things for him?"

"I see..." Panos suddenly realized, and then laughed, "Then I would like to ask, when will you hold the wedding?"

"It depends on your efforts..." Teresa smiled slyly, "I have agreed with Your Highness that once the overall situation in Greece is settled, we will get married and decorate our wedding with the glory of this ancient civilization. .”

"This is really... so admirable!" Panos bowed to her with deep admiration, "Your Highness, if you need to keep it secret now, I will keep it secret for you, but I hope that one day, all of Greece will The people in the world will cheer for your wedding, and I also wish you and that Highness a happy marriage forever."

"Thank you!" Teresa also sincerely thanked the other party.

Soon, the secret meeting between the two people ended, and they reached a secret agreement on these important issues, continuing the friendly and cooperative relationship between the two parties.

For Teresa, she was once again in a good mood to get the job done that needed to be done, adding to both of their careers.

After finishing her lunch, she began to open and read the letters sent from various places as usual.

The top priority is of course the letter written by Aigron. After she read it carefully, she carefully stored it in the designated box and put it together with the previous letters.

Then she started reading other letters.

The first was a letter to her from Major Henchy, who was also at the front.

Although she didn't have close contact with the major, she was both from Austria and was sent by her father, so she also had a good impression of the major in her heart, so she chose to read his letters.

The major is not a person who is good at writing, his handwriting is very scribbled, Teresa struggled to read the content.

Then, she was stunned, and the good mood she had accumulated all day suddenly disappeared.

Although Major Henchy used euphemistic words on purpose and spoke vaguely, and the main text was devoted to describing what he had seen and heard, but with Teresa's mind, she certainly saw through what the major really wanted to say at a glance.

Almost at the same time as she finished reading, a wave of anger sprang up from her heart, and the anger was accompanied by a relief of "as expected".

"I knew it... I knew it!" She was annoyed and bitter at the same time, and then threw the letter back on the table heavily, "From the beginning, they have always had this idea, right?! Hmph... Otherwise, how could there be such a strange thing, to let a girl come here on purpose! How shameless!"

After venting in a low voice, she bit her lip lightly, and then vented her anger on another person.

"That's the kind of person he is! I've always known it! He's just so unrestrained, he didn't even let his aunt let go, how could he let go of such an opportunity... In vain I tried my best to help him, but he ended up using this way Pay me back... what a villain who doesn't know what to do! Scoundrel!"

After venting for a while, she finally suppressed her anger a little.

She raised her head and looked at the void in front of her. The handsome face of that young man seemed to appear in front of her.

How uninhibited is this hateful guy?Obviously he is on the front line with all kinds of affairs, and he has to lead troops to fight, but in the end he still has to find opportunities to have fun in the busy time.

What a lustful badass.

And sadly, the one she loves is such a villain.

Even knowing this, she still finds it difficult to let go of the love in her heart, and it is even more difficult to let go of the little things about the two of them getting along together and sleeping in each other's arms.

Those are the sweetness that she can remember all her life.

"Your Highness is too lonely, that's why you did this..." She defended herself in a low voice, as if giving herself an explanation.

Therefore, she was more eager than before to return to His Highness's side as soon as possible.

After all, the two of them only left for such a short period of time, and this kind of thing happened. If they let it go, what will happen next?

Moreover, Teresa has no confidence in the people around His Highness. Although Major Hench did not say it clearly, it is obvious that when His Highness did these things, the people around him did not stop him in the slightest.

From the standpoint of being French, the people around him may be happy to see the success, and deliberately help him conceal himself.

These bastards... sooner or later they will be dealt with.

Thinking of this, Teresa felt even more urgent.

However, no matter how urgent she was, she also knew that she couldn't leave everything here and rush over immediately, otherwise it would cause too much chaos.

You have to take the time to get this right.

This is the career of the two of them, and no mistakes are allowed.

She collected herself, calmed herself down from her anger and anxiety, and then walked to the door.

"Chanel!" she called flatly.　　

181, scheming and journey

"Chanel!"

Although Teresa's voice was not loud, Chanel, who was accompanying her outside, immediately dropped the work in her hand and ran all the way to her.

"Your Highness, do you have any orders?" She asked respectfully.

"I can't talk about orders. I have something to ask you." Teresa replied.

Then, she continued to ask, "If I leave here for a while, can you do things here for me?"

Chanel was a little puzzled, and didn't understand why she would ask such a question, but she still answered seriously, "I still have a lot of things I don't understand, but I have done my best to complete the tasks assigned to me by Your Majesty and you— —”

"Yeah... I have always seen your hard work." Teresa nodded, looked at Chanel approvingly, and then she changed the topic, "Chanel, if you are free, go for me Let's run over to His Highness—I think His Highness must be very worried about not seeing us all this time."

"What?!" Chanel was surprised and delighted, and looked up at Teresa.

Today's Chanel was bestowed the position of female officer by Teresa, and she received deliberate courtesy from Teresa, but even so, she was never happy in her heart, but was always worried about His Majesty.
