Eagle's Glory

"Of course, we are all civilized people and must abide by the agreement." Von Mayrhofen agreed without thinking.

This item was within his purview, so he naturally agreed easily—to put it bluntly, no matter whether it is Metternich or the leaders of other major European countries, who cares about the ownership of the silver mines.

"Second item, Your Highness does not claim the throne of Greece, but he does ask for the right to choose, and he decides who will become the king of Greece." Teresa continued immediately.

"This..." Von Mayrhofen immediately showed a embarrassed expression, "I'm afraid it's a bit difficult, after all, countries will discuss with each other..."

"What I'm telling you is not a request, but a reality, sir." Teresa looked at the other party calmly, and then continued in a polite but cold tone, "You can see that under the current situation , if my fiancé is not happy, he can make anyone who wants to be king in Greece un-king-"

Good guy!

For a moment, von Mayrhofen gasped in wonder.

Her Royal Highness changed her gentle face to a stern attitude towards him. Although she was still reserved, her aura was already compelling enough at the moment, and there was a murderous look in her reservation.

Seeing her eyes and imposing manner, von Mayrhofen couldn't help but immediately believe that if the result didn't satisfy her, she was really going to make everyone look ugly.

At this point in time, if there is a real fallout, it will be really troublesome. After all, no one cares who the Greek throne belongs to, but everyone is very afraid of the Russians entering Byzantium.

Damn it, why did His Majesty choose her to marry Bonaparte... He cursed in his heart.

Using the wit he had cultivated over the years, von Mayrhofen thought quickly in the silence, and a moment later he had a flash of inspiration.

"I understand you and the duke's feelings, but we also have our principles and difficulties... So, your highness, how about we adopt a compromise plan?" He asked in a low voice, "The duke can choose a king, but he must be among us Choose one of the several candidates proposed, not a member of the Bonaparte family or anyone else who is inappropriate."

He was playing a trick—if Metternich and the big powers were to decide, it would be to choose a collateral prince from the ancient royal families in Europe to be the king of Greece, and there were many people who met the requirements.

After delineating several candidates, asking the Duke to "pick one" is tantamount to letting his right to choose exist in name only, but it takes care of the face of both parties.

After finishing speaking, he looked at Princess Teresa nervously, for fear that Her Highness would act out of anger under the anger, and the conversation between the two parties would collapse again.

Fortunately, today's Princess Teresa seems to be a lot more self-controlled. Although she is obviously a little annoyed, she still doesn't have an attack in the end.

After contemplating for a while, she seemed to have compromised, and nodded slightly, "Okay...then let's do it this way."

"On behalf of the Empire, and all the Greek people, I thank you for your generosity!" von Mayrhofen complimented her immediately.

Because he was afraid that Teresa would spoil the matter with her own temper, he paid great attention to taking care of her mood. Anyway, this kind of compliment would not pay any price.

"Do you have any other requirements?" Then he asked again.

Teresa nodded slowly. "There is a third and final condition—"

Then, under von Mayrhofen's expectant eyes, she continued, "I hope Your Excellency Metternich will apologize in writing to my fiancé for his previous indifference and contempt for His Royal Highness. Moreover, he must ensure that His Highness's personal freedom will not be threatened in the future."

"This..." Von Mayrhofen frowned in embarrassment.

He did not expect that Her Highness Teresa would propose such an emotional condition on such an important occasion.

Does it matter?

It doesn't matter at all. For someone like Prime Minister Metternich, he doesn't care about cursing from all mankind at all, and he doesn't care about surrendering his status if necessary.

Back then he flattered Napoleon and offered to marry the princess to him, but now he doesn't care if he is asked to write ten letters of apology.

But this is not something I can promise.

In the end, von Mayrhofen could only shrug his shoulders.

"I will convey this request to you. As for what your Excellency the Prime Minister will do, I cannot guarantee—"

"Thank you, sir." Teresa nodded.

Everything has been done...

At this time, her heart was no longer here, but drifted to Aigron's side.

Wait a second... Eggron, I'm coming for you!　　

208, reunion and tenderness

At Teresa's insistence, although von Mayrhofen was reluctant, he basically made corresponding compromises according to the conditions she proposed.

After all, in his eyes, it was indeed a great loss for the duke and princess to give up the chance to take the throne in their hands, so it was only natural to make some compensation.

After reaching a consensus on the most basic issues, the negotiation ended quickly, and the two parties reached an initial tacit understanding of cooperation.

According to the scheduled arrangement, the special envoy will then go to visit the father and son of Theodoros and Panos-Kolokotronis in order to draw the current head of the independent army of Greece to his side. camp.

Teresa no longer needed to participate in their negotiations, she just sent a few envoys to escort von Mayrhofen to the predetermined location.

All that needs to be done of her has now been done, and her heart is already on her fiancé in Mesolonghi.

Soon, she arranged the rest of the affairs, and then took her adviser, Father Faria and others, and embarked on the journey to Messolonghi.

The long separation had been an unbearable torment for her, and now it was finally coming to an end.

Aigron, who had received the news before she set off, naturally made corresponding preparations immediately.

On this day, Aigron brought his guards and some high-level military officers to the beach outside the fortress, and waited for his fiancée's arrival by the temporary trestle bridge.

Considering the difficulty of sailing between the sandbars, he could only meet Teresa outside the city.

It was already afternoon at this time, so the setting sun was slowly sliding towards the sea, the place where the sky and the sea meet was so bright that it was almost impossible to distinguish the boundaries between each other, and Aigron had been watching the western glow, waiting With the arrival of his fiancée.

Gradually, a small black spot slowly appeared from the golden light, and then the black spot became bigger and bigger, and finally a graceful figure of a sailboat emerged.Under his gaze, the ship got closer and closer, and finally came close to the trestle.

Aigron made a gesture, and the honor guard of guards immediately fired salutes to welcome Princess Teresa.

Soon, Teresa appeared on the ship's side. Amidst the endless gunshots and cheers, the girl in a skirt and a flower crown blushed. wave.

Then, she couldn't wait to get down from the gangway, and then walked in front of Aigron.

"Your Highness~" She looked at the young man affectionately, as if everything she said was silent.

Aigron was also full of emotion at this time.

The last time he welcomed Teresa in this way was when she went to Monte Cristo Island. At that time, although he initially pulled up the team, he could only be regarded as a newborn calf. Will he be left with nothing again? But now, everything has changed. Although his power is still very weak, he has already established a firm foothold on the mainland, he already knows where he is, and he still looks at it. Get the way you should go in the future.

At this moment, his mentality is completely different from his previous anxiety. After the baptism of war and the tempering of victories, he has become more and more confident in himself. He knows that he will be able to fulfill his ambition, but he still needs a little more. It's just time.

The Teresa in front of her was obviously well-dressed. Not only was the girl's coquettishness fully revealed between her skirts, but she also specially wore a corolla symbolizing victory on her head. Then she thought that the land they were standing on at the moment was exactly him. The place he just conquered, how could he not be satisfied with this situation and the scene?

"Teresa..." He also called out, and then hugged her tightly in front of everyone.

Then, he lowered his head to Theresa's ear, and complimented her in a low voice, "You are so beautiful today, I almost doubt that the goddess of victory walked into the mortal world."

Teresa was overjoyed to hear his compliment—even though she knew he was flattering herself on purpose, how many girls don't like to hear this kind of compliment?

"I did come to announce the good news to you instead of her." She replied with a smile.

Then, she didn't care about being shy anymore, but hugged the young man directly.

The two embraced for a while amidst the gazes and cheers of the crowd, and then reluctantly separated from each other.But even though they no longer hugged each other, Teresa still hugged Aigron's right arm to vent the longing accumulated after being separated from her fiancé for a long time.

The two of them walked back to the guard of honor, and Teresa found that the leading officers were the Austrians sent by her father, Grand Duke Karl.

"Mr. Major." Teresa immediately saluted the leader, Major Hench, "Thank you for all the hard work you have done for Your Highness... I am very grateful to my father for sending you here. I will always remember you and your colleagues Gracious."

"Your Highness, you are too serious." Major Henchy just shook his head indifferently, "We are just a few idlers after retirement, even if we were not important people back then, we were neither high-ranking nor powerful, nor did we have great military exploits. Your father can appreciate it, so he just sent us over to help..."

Having said that, he looked at Aigron again, "Your Highness is talented and has a tenacious character. All the victories should be attributed to him first, and we didn't play a big role."

"You are so humble." Aigron said quickly, "Major, since you came, your outspoken character and tireless action have helped me a lot, and I have worked with you It has also benefited me a lot. Please continue to serve me with the same enthusiasm as before, which is a great favor to me.”

Seeing them being so polite and courteous to him, Major Henchy was very happy in his heart, even though he looked calm on the surface.

This young unmarried couple is not only noble, but also handsome and handsome, and the woman is beautiful and elegant. Just standing there and so on makes people feel pleasing to the eye.

"Of course, Your Highness, I was ordered to follow you, so before you and Your Highness enter the marriage hall, I must escort you all the way to the end." He made a joke.

Teresa couldn't help laughing when she heard this.

"Sir, even if we enter the marriage hall, you still have work to do—don't forget that you will be a member of the guard of honor at that time."

"Ah, don't worry, how could I forget this grace!" The major shrugged exaggeratedly.

Then, several people laughed together.

For Teresa, with Aigron's series of victories and her private compromise with the Austrian government, she has been able to see the dawn of Aigron's final victory.

Although at present, his idea has only realized an outline, but the situation is developing as he planned and hoped, so Teresa is convinced that in a short time, Aigron will complete his entire plan.

And that also means that they will walk into the palace of marriage with the blessings of everyone at that time——

That was the moment she had longed for and longed for.

Thinking of the coming of this happy moment, she couldn't help but feel a little sweeter in her smile.

Soon, after the greetings were over, Aigron took Teresa, and a group of people marched along the beach by the sea, and walked into the Fortress of Messolonghi.

Because of the previous war, the inside and outside of the fortress suffered huge damage. Even after the fall of the fortress, Egron ordered the captured Turkish soldiers to perform hard labor. Although they collected and cremated the corpses in a short period of time, the short Time is not enough to heal the wounds of war, and traces of destruction can still be seen everywhere.

Teresa looked at the stretching trenches and the pitted ground after being bombarded by artillery fire all the way outside the city, and then came to the fortress and saw the broken walls and ruins everywhere. Although she had not experienced this battle personally, But these traces of destruction were enough for her to imagine the tragic scene before.

Although she understood the truth that "people will definitely die in war", seeing these traces of destruction still made her feel compassionate.

Of course, she knew better that these were the necessary prices, as long as Aigron did not give up his ambition to return to the throne, it would be impossible not to shed blood—and blood would flow like a river.

As far as her heart is concerned, she is the same as before, hoping to live in seclusion with her fiancé and grow old together in a rural manor, but reality has proved that this beautiful dream of hers is impossible to realize.

Therefore, if Eggron wants the world to flow into rivers of blood, then she must accompany him to flow into rivers of blood. This is what she has already realized.

Under Aigron's leadership, the two of them came to a building in the center of the fortress together.

This is the city hall of the fortress, which has become one of the few well-preserved buildings during the siege of Messolonghi over the past few years.

So after Aigron occupied the fortress, he requisitioned it as his residence and made simple repairs.

When they came to this house, Chanel, who had already been waiting here, immediately greeted them.

"Your Highness...you have worked hard all the way." She greeted Teresa while saluting.

"Chanel, you are the one who worked hard." Teresa smiled and nodded to her, "Thank you for taking care of His Highness, allowing him to devote himself to the battle and bring us back our victory."

"This is my vocation." Chanel replied quickly.

"Where is our living room?" Teresa asked again.

She took the word "we" as a matter of course, but Chanel seemed to be stabbed in the heart, and her body appeared in a trance for a moment.

That's right, Her Majesty Teresa has come - which also means that everything has returned to the previous rhythm, and she can only helplessly watch His Majesty return to the embrace of the princess.

But what can be done?After all, she is His Majesty's fiancée, she deserves it naturally... I don't even have the qualifications to "return" Your Majesty.

However, although she was quite disappointed in her heart, in the corner of her heart, she was also a little relieved - no matter what, the good memories left in this short period of time would accompany her for a lifetime.

Moreover, His Majesty has personally promised that he will always be by his side to take care of him, isn't that enough?

Amidst the mixed feelings, she lowered her head.

"plz follow me."

Then, Chanel calmly took the boy and the girl up the stairs, and came to a spacious room on the second floor. It used to be a conference room, but now it has been converted into a bedroom. Although the furnishings are quite simple, but For Teresa, it doesn't matter at all - because, her fiancé is by her side, they can be together forever again.

She walked to the bed, and then looked out the window. Although the outside was still a scene of dilapidated walls and ruins, there was a sense of vitality and arrogance. People were cleaning up broken bricks and stones and reusing wood. Build houses.

Then, she sat down on the white sheets, and the fatigue along the way slowly subsided.

Then she made a gesture to Chanel, who immediately understood, quietly left the room and closed the door.

The room became quiet again, and the hustle and bustle of the outside world was also cut off by the door. At this moment, there were finally only the two of them left here.

Teresa looked at the young man affectionately, then slightly closed her eyes.

"Your Highness..." She murmured, as if implying something.

Aegron reached out and removed the wreath from her head, and sat down beside her, leaning against her.

Then, without waiting for Teresa to say anything else, he immediately hugged Theresa, and then kissed her happily, and Teresa immediately responded fiercely, entangled his tongue desperately with him, and then There is no longer the reserve of the past.

The two kissed passionately and selflessly, and it took a while for their lips to part again.

But at this time, seeing Teresa's blushing cheeks and disheveled temples, Eggron suddenly felt an impulse.

He stretched out his hand and pushed Teresa down on the bed sheet with a light push, and then pressed on top of her.

"Your Highness...!" Teresa yelled in a panic, as if she was tempting, but also refusing and blaming.

At this time, Aigron remembered the agreement between himself and Teresa-they will not really combine until they get married.

Logically speaking, he has told countless lies in his life, and even broke his oath at will, but the agreement with Teresa cannot be done like this.

——It’s fine if nothing happens, but if you accidentally win the bid and marry a bongzi, and Teresa attends the wedding with her belly out, it will simply be a disaster, and everyone will be ashamed.

Therefore, in order to prevent this disaster from happening, he can only endure it for the time being - anyway, judging from the current situation, the time he needs to endure will not be too long.

So he rolled off Teresa, and the two of them lay on the bed and looked sideways.
