Eagle's Glory

"I follow His Majesty, and I am willing to dedicate everything to him. No matter when and where His Majesty asks me, I will fulfill it with joy, regardless of any gain or loss." She blushed, suppressing her embarrassment and retorting The other party said, "But I know what I should do. I never thought of destroying the relationship between Your Majesty and His Highness Teresa, and I never thought of getting anything from it. As long as Your Majesty is happy... So, What qualifications do you have to say that we are the same? You are just using Miss Agnes to flatter His Majesty and take the opportunity to win His Majesty's favor!"

Because she became angry from embarrassment, Chanel simply tore her face apart, and directly stated the words without any politeness.

However, although her words were very ugly, Edgar was not angry. On the contrary, he had already seen that the maid was short-hearted and confused in front of her words.

Hmph, although she is favored by His Majesty, she has never seen anything in the world after all, even if she puts on an arrogant posture in front of her, she is still just a little girl who is easy to play with.

Edgar, who has been tempered in the social arena in Paris and has won the favor of countless ladies and ladies, is quite relaxed when dealing with Chanel.

"Miss Chanel, I have never questioned your loyalty, but why did you question my loyalty with such vicious words?" He asked with a sneer, "You made a mistake—the reason why the situation has developed to such an extent It’s all because of His Majesty’s own wishes, so can I still force His Majesty to associate with Agnes? Your Majesty likes Agnes, do you think it’s wrong?”

Facing this interrogation, Chanel's momentum suddenly weakened again.

Although this is a fact, even if the facts are all there, she is unwilling to admit that His Majesty is wrong anyway.

"This is all the result of your deliberate deception..."

"What is deception? Do you think that you are qualified to deceive His Majesty who is so intelligent? Chanel, you think too highly of me." Edgar retorted the maid with a smile, "It is His Majesty's own pleasure." , I just try my best to help him in line with my obligation, if you think what you did is not wrong, then I don’t know what I did wrong at all! If you think it’s flattery, then I can only say , I am very honored to have this opportunity to flatter His Majesty!"

After being retorted by Edgar with a gun and a stick, Chanel suddenly lost his words again.

Although she knew that the other party was trying to make excuses, she suddenly didn't know how to refute the other party.

As the closest person to His Majesty, Chanel certainly knew that His Majesty was not the kind of person who would control his desires. In order to satisfy his desire to have fun in a timely manner, he even deliberately seduced His Highness Sophie.

And a girl like Miss Agnes is indeed very attractive, even Chanel herself is secretly heartbroken by it, even if His Majesty is moved, it is not surprising.

How about - of course?

So, what reason is there to blame Edgar?

"Your Majesty has His Majesty's own thoughts, and I really can't interfere, but His Majesty Teresa is very upset. As His Majesty's fiancée, she doesn't want to see these rumors cast a shadow between her and His Majesty—" After thinking for a while , Chanel finally found the reason.

"So, didn't I question you just now? Is your allegiance to Your Majesty, or Teresa?" Edgar immediately asked, "Does Your Majesty need Teresa every time it pleases you?" His Highness's consent? Does His Majesty want to follow her, and let another Austrian woman rule the future court of the empire?"

Chanel bit her lip lightly, then shook her head. "Of course not. Your Majesty's actions do not need the approval of Her Highness Teresa. But...the marriage between the two of them is of great importance, and at this time, absolutely no mistakes are allowed. If Her Highness Teresa is angry If so, how will it end? If you really have no selfish intentions and only want to be loyal to His Majesty, you should know this in a reasonable way."

"Well, I admit that this marriage is unstoppable now, and of course I will not destroy His Majesty's plan and become a sinner." Edgar shook his head with a smile, "But getting married doesn't mean that Your Majesty will do it for you." Abstinence, isn't it? Since you have served Your Majesty since he was at the Austrian court, you should know that people can find emotional comfort in other places besides marriage-if Your Majesty decides to marry Terry Sha's married life needs some other adjustments, so what's wrong with him wanting to get it from Agnes?"

Chanel's eyes widened, and she was stunned for a while.

She did not expect that the handsome young man in front of her would be so brazen as to openly say that her wife and sister could be a mistress.

It seems that Princess Teresa saw it right, the Treville family had made this idea from the beginning-she finally believed it completely.

"That...that's Miss Agnes..." she hissed, "would she be willing to do such a thing?"

"Dear Miss Chanel, sometimes people's decision-making is an accidental situation, which will change according to the objective environment." Edgar shrugged slightly, "Agnes's current thoughts and future thoughts are not necessarily the same. will agree."

Hearing the answer from the other party, Chanel was also secretly relieved.

She had a good impression of Agnes, so she was a little afraid that Agnes would also take the initiative to cooperate with Edgar's plan, otherwise her image in her mind would also collapse.

Now it seems that this is just Edgar's plan.

However, what position should I occupy in it?She suddenly hesitated again.

According to Princess Teresa's will, she should continue to severely reprimand Edgar, and then let him put away his thoughts, and restrain His Majesty not to deviate; but Edgar's question just now hit her vital point— —Since you yourself have taken the initiative to deviate from His Majesty, what reason do you have to accuse others of doing the same?

And in the final analysis, all these are His Majesty's own thoughts, so what reason does he have to forcefully change?

For a while, she became a little upset again, not knowing how to deal with the current situation.

Seeing that he had completely suppressed Chanel in terms of momentum, Edgar felt more comfortable, and he continued with a smile on his face, "Chanel, I don't deny what I did, but my own purpose , but for His Majesty, if Agnes stays with him, it will be of great benefit to us."

"Where did you start?" Chanel was a little puzzled.

"Isn't this obvious? Both Louis XVI and the first emperor married Austrian women, and as a result, one went to the guillotine and the other was forced to die in a foreign land. The French people are tired of the mother of the country from Austria. I think, Your Highness Teresa I'm afraid I won't be able to get their love from the heart, after all, she is a foreigner, and her growth, her joys and anger are difficult to empathize with the French." Edgar continued word by word, "But Agnes Silk is different, she is the most eye-catching flower after our own famous family, she will be loved by everyone, so she can also help His Majesty to win the hearts of the people - I am only thinking of His Majesty's cause , will make this decision!"

Although these words were groundless, Edgar spoke confidently, as if adding incomparable persuasion to himself.

Then, he looked at Chanel again, and continued, "And, if you think about it again, His Majesty himself grew up from abroad, so far his relationship with the Austrians is still inseparable, will the people think about it?" Are you indifferent? The French would like to see His Majesty surrounded by French people, and Agnes is the best candidate—have you forgotten? Those who married the queens of the Medici family or the Habsburg family Kings all have French women who are closer to them. This is a great historical tradition of our country and it is also necessary. How can foreigners dominate our court?! For kings, marriage is only for obtaining legal heirs Necessary means, but the affection of our king should remain on the land of France!"

Edgar did not say these words to fool Chanel alone.

In fact, this is also a situation he deliberately created.

He never cared about the difference between the French or the Austrians in his heart, and he never had any dislike for Princess Teresa, but for his own sake, he deliberately spread a kind of anti-foreigner among Aigron's clique. feeling of repulsion——

This sense of repulsion is actually deeply hidden in the heart of every Frenchman, so he can easily do this.

He used this rhetoric to create an image of a "true Frenchman" for Agnes, and then used the history of French kings marrying foreign princesses but getting close to their mistresses to increase his persuasion, advocating that only through this historical tradition , to win the hearts of the people.

Regardless of whether Agnes is willing or able to take on this responsibility, as long as the people around His Majesty and the French think she can, then she has actually done it.

If Agnes really becomes what everyone expects, then it doesn’t matter whether she is a legal wife or not, and the Treville family will also become the core of the court because of their relationship with Agnes——I can also fulfill my father’s mission. Mission gone.

And his remarks undoubtedly touched Chanel.

Chanel is also a Frenchman, and as a loyal supporter of the empire, she has a deep-rooted hostility towards all "foreigners" because of the seven anti-French alliances.

If there were no foreigners, then she would not have lost her family.

This kind of hostility was slightly suppressed because of Princess Teresa's deliberate favor and win over her, but deep down in her heart, she still didn't have much closeness to Princess Teresa.

And Miss Agnes, that's completely different, that's the real "one of my own".

Under his rhetoric, Chanel suddenly found himself completely shaken.

But...Princess Teresa's exhortation also reverberated in her mind, and she was unwilling to do anything that would disappoint Her Highness the Princess.

All kinds of thoughts rushed into her mind, so that she was at a loss for a while.

"Okay, please come back today, I will go and talk to Miss Agnes in detail." Finally, she issued an order to evict the guest.　　

193, questioning

With uneasy feelings, Chanel finally sent Edgar away.

At first she called Edgar over to convey Princess Teresa's will and to reprimand this shameless bastard, but unexpectedly, in the short conversation, instead of completing her mission, she was rejected by Edgar's The rhetoric was shaken.

This cunning guy completely avoided his own dark intentions, but used the high-sounding reason of "to get closer to France for His Majesty" to smear his actions.

However, although Chanel knew that Edgar could not be so selfless, deep down in her heart, she agreed with the other's words.

Historically speaking, French kings have always married foreign princesses as queens, but at the same time they have their own mistresses-the only one who has not done so for hundreds of years is poor King Louis XVI.

So even if His Majesty marries Teresa, it doesn't mean that he must be loyal to her alone.

And she also had to admit that if His Majesty really had an affair with Miss Agnes, it would not be a shocking thing, and it might even have a bit of a legend... After all, someone like her who is looked up to by everyone Young girl, among her peers, only His Majesty is the only one who can gain insight.

So what was Miss Agnes herself thinking?She couldn't help being curious again.

Was she confused by vanity and actively cooperated with the Treville family's plan; or was she involved in it without knowing anything?

The answer is probably only Miss Agnes herself knows.

For some people, this makes no difference at all, but for Chanel, it has great significance, because she does not want the image of Miss Agnes in her heart to collapse.

So, Chanel decided to ask Agnes herself to find out.

At this time, Agnes, of course, did not know that so many things had happened around her, she still lived in seclusion as usual, quietly waiting for the end of this journey.

According to Aigron's previous request, she had put aside her previous feud with him and became friends again, and followed him all the way to the city of Mesolonghi, witnessing everything that happened here.

She has never been a small-hearted person, and since she has promised Aigron to let go of the past, she will not take the past matter to heart; besides, she can also see recently that Aigron's progress is not going well at this time, and she is even more concerned about this young man. People are a little more sympathetic.

Adhering to the position of a friend, she wanted to comfort and encourage the young man in her heart, not to mention that her sister's family now shared weal and woe with him, and their future depended entirely on him.

It's just that she saw that Aigron was busy with affairs, and she needed to avoid suspicion, so she couldn't disturb him directly, so she could only put this heart in her heart and silently pray for this hateful young man.

As long as he wins early, she can go home as soon as possible - after leaving home for so long, she will inevitably start to feel homesick.

She has no sense of belonging to Paris, but she is full of nostalgia for her family. Since she came to Greece, except for her sister, she has not received any letters from her family, and she does not know the situation at home.

She also knew in her heart that her father must have known what she had done in private and was angry with herself, and even if he didn't lose his temper, he couldn't write to herself in order to prevent outsiders from knowing the inside story.

Dad, Mom, I'm sorry, all this is because of my willful behavior... No matter how much you blame me, I can accept it, and I love you.She said in her heart again.

Just when she was still feeling sad for homesickness, she suddenly heard footsteps at the door of her tent, and they were obviously walking towards herself.

Agnes, who has learned swordsmanship since she was a child, has always been very sensitive to the movements around her.

At this time, someone will come to find me?Who is the one?

There will be no one else besides that person...

A little panic suddenly appeared in Agnes's heart - he wouldn't have the leisure to look for him at this critical moment, right?

And just as she was thinking wildly, the owner of the footsteps stopped in front of the tent.

"Miss Agnes...is it convenient for you?" Then, the other party asked softly.

After hearing this voice, Agnes' panic was replaced by surprise.

"Chanel? Is that you?" As she asked, she stood up and opened the tent.

Sure enough, Chanel was right in front of her, looking at herself respectfully, and then bowed to her. "Miss Agnes, good to see you again..."

Although she couldn't understand the current situation at all, Agnes couldn't help laughing when she saw Chanel—she had been with the army during this period of time, and all the men she saw around her were big and three rough men. It is natural to be instinctively happy to see a girl of the same age.

She immediately made a gesture to invite in, and then asked Chanel, "Why are you here suddenly?"

Chanel first walked in obediently, and then answered her question in a low voice, "His Royal Highness Teresa sent me here, she...she was a little worried that His Majesty would be too hard and tired to lead troops in the field for a long time, so let me Come and take care of him."

Chanel hid the real reason from Agnes, and she couldn't bear to say it.

"Princess Teresa is too much to bear..." Agnes believed it, and then shook her head disapprovingly, "It is only natural to lead soldiers to fight hard, so what can we say? Instead, let the maid It's a bit ridiculous to be around and take care of you."

"As a fiancée, Her Royal Highness, it is inevitable that care will cause confusion. Please don't mind." Chanel replied blankly, "After coming here, I will keep a low profile and just take good care of Your Majesty. , won’t cause any other discussion.”

"Forget it, this is your business anyway, and I don't have the right to care too much, and since you've come here, what else can you say?" Agnes shook her head easily, and then laughed again, " To be honest, for me, it would be better to have you here, at least I still have someone to talk to—you don’t know that I’m almost suffocated during this time.”

"It's my honor to be able to communicate with you." Chanel smiled slightly, "If you have any needs in the future, just ask me directly, and I will definitely do it."

"What can I tell you?" Agnes replied nonchalantly, "If you have time, just talk to me and pass the time for me."

"I can easily fulfill this request. No matter what topic you talk about, I can chat with you."

While chatting, Chanel watched Agnes's reaction carefully. She could feel that Agnes was a real surprise when meeting the two people, and when Teresa was mentioned next, She also showed no sign of guilt at all.

Chanel and Agnes have been together for a while in Switzerland before, and she knows that the other party is not the kind of person who is good at disguising herself.

In other words...Miss Agnes should be innocent, she was just used by the Treville family without knowing it, and used it as a tool to please His Majesty.

After making this judgment, Chanel was secretly relieved, because in this way, the image of Miss Agnes in her mind would not be damaged.

The most important problem is solved, but she still has another doubt that she wants to clarify——

Miss Agnes, how do you feel about His Majesty?To what extent are the "rumours" that have been heard by Her Royal Highness the truth?

But these questions are not questions that can be asked face to face, she can only insinuate.

"Actually, I admire you very much." Chanel looked at Agnes with sympathy, "You must have suffered a lot with His Majesty all the way, right?"

"It's actually not that hard, at least I don't have to go to the front line, and the treatment in life is good." Agnes shook her head, and didn't continue to complain, "Of course, there will be some inconvenience, but I can bear it. It's not here for happiness—"

"Just to complete Miss Alice's entrustment, you are able to endure all of this...it's really commendable." Chanel continued to praise her, "People like me are already used to wandering, so it may be okay; but you I really admire the princess for being so tenacious!"

"Don't talk about the princess, our family's life was not much better than yours more than ten years ago, and I have been wandering around, and now it's just a reliving of old dreams." Agnes replied with a smile, "Okay Oh, you've been praising me all the time, I'm almost a little embarrassed, don't talk about this!"

"Okay..." Chanel smiled embarrassedly, and then changed the question, "Then, during this time, has His Majesty still taken care of you?"

This question immediately embarrassed Agnes.

After thinking for a moment, she had to admit that, apart from his sudden involuntary behavior while hunting, the young man treated her with respect.

"Well, it's not bad." She replied with a straight face, "at least he has taken care of me as far as he can."

"Do you seem to have any opinion on him?" Chanel saw it keenly. "Yes... Did His Majesty do something out of etiquette?"

"No!" Agnes replied decisively, she didn't want to tell others about her embarrassment. "We got along very well."

That's it.Chanel immediately made a judgment in her heart.

Miss Agnes, you're really not good at deceiving people...

So what exactly did the two of them do?Chanel couldn't help being even more curious, but she couldn't get a clear answer to this question whether she asked His Majesty or Agnes.

However, it should not have reached the irreversible step, otherwise Miss Agnes would not be so magnanimous.

In other words, two people have a crush on each other, but they haven't really crossed the line yet.Chanel made her own judgment in her heart.

So this means that Princess Teresa's worst fears have not come true.

These judgments allowed her to deal with Teresa, but deep down in her heart, she still had some other thoughts.

If His Majesty really likes Miss Agnes, what should he do?
