Eagle's Glory

Then, he laughed again, and shouted at Agnes, "Then miss, I congratulate you on your victory! You won the bet, and I am convinced! Sorry, I underestimated you before..."

"Wow!"

The originally silent hall was detonated again at this moment. Deafening cheers and whistles resounded into the room again, and the atmosphere was even more enthusiastic than before.

Even those who were defeated by Agnes, most of them were smiling at this time - firstly, so many people lost, and it is not shameful to lose; secondly, this lady is so beautiful, even if she loses to She also seems like a privilege, not worth getting upset about.

Amidst the tide of cheers, Agnes's expression was very flat, as if she had just completed some trivial matter, but the light in her eyes inadvertently revealed that she was also a little proud at the moment.

Just as she was about to turn around and walk back to where she was just now, to end tonight's performance, she suddenly heard a greeting.

"Miss, please wait!"

She stopped in shock, because she recognized that it was Princess Teresa's voice.

Then, she turned her head and looked at where Princess Teresa was just now, and then she found that Her Highness the Princess was walking towards her quickly.

Agnes looked at each other in bewilderment, not knowing what Her Royal Highness was thinking, not only her, but other people were also very puzzled and looked at each other - but no one dared to stop Her Highness's actions, so they could only look at her walked up to Agnes.

"Your Highness, do you have any orders?" Agnes asked blankly.

"Nothing—" Teresa smiled, then shook her head.

Then she smiled and asked Agnes, "Miss, I congratulate you on your victory. Your performance today is exquisite and gorgeous, which I have never seen before! You deserve to be cheered and respected by everyone."

"You have won the prize." Agnes figured it out from the astonishment, and then felt a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I didn't want to make a fuss, but His Royal Highness has always invited you kindly, so I have no choice but to It's time to fight..."

"Then I should thank him. No matter what the reason is, at least he made me see the extraordinary. I like to see extraordinary things, and what you have shown is just like that." Teresa replied from the bottom of her heart.

Although Teresa was a little at a loss for Prince Charlie's sudden attack, and she was full of "wait and see" anger towards him, but one size fits all, for Agnes' performance tonight, Teresa Appreciate it from the heart and feel amazing.

This was exactly what she wanted to see more in this world—unfortunately, it appeared in a way she didn't want.

Then, Teresa smiled and blinked again, "However, I think it's a pity that you have worked so hard and won such an honor, but you didn't get any prizes in the end."

"Prize?" Agnes was a little stunned, but quickly shook her head, "That kind of thing doesn't matter, I didn't do it for any prize. And for me, defeating the opponent is a pleasure in itself, It doesn’t need to be decorated with anything else.”

"That's what you said, but I can't make us look too stingy." Teresa still insisted on her opinion.

Then, she unexpectedly raised her hand and took off the corolla symbolizing victory on her head.

Then, in the astonished gaze of Agnes and the others, she put the wreath on Agnes's head.

Although this does not seem to be an expensive thing, Teresa, as the hostess, is also a celebration banquet, and her corolla has a symbolic meaning.

Her actions were as if she had confirmed who was the heroine tonight.

"You..." Agnes reacted, and hurriedly wanted to decline, "This is not good..."

"There's no need to refuse. This is a well-deserved prize. You got it with your extraordinary performance—tonight, you deserve to wear it more than anyone else." Teresa replied seriously.

Aegron watched this scene and was suddenly moved.

Although he deliberately provoked the relationship between the two of them, and indeed succeeded in making Teresa angry, deep down, this girl still retained her previous innocence.

She wants to see the extraordinary, this persistent thought is exactly what she is striving for.

——It was precisely for this reason that she fell in love with herself before.

But now, this persistence allows her to temporarily put aside her fear of her rival in love and praise her in public.

This is also where Teresa shines... If she didn't have this persistence, how could she persist and run to her side?

No matter in the past or now, she has never been sorry for herself, but she has repeatedly failed her.

Secretly guilty, he couldn't help applauding.

Under his leadership, all the people present also applauded, praising the amazing performance of the unknown lady and Teresa's generosity.

Although Agnes was embarrassed, she could only accept this gift and honor. In the thunderous applause, Teresa withdrew her hand and looked at Agnes quietly.

"It really matches, Miss Agnes, you are really beautiful." She complimented again in a low voice.

"How can I compare with you?" Agnes replied from the bottom of her heart, "You are beautiful."

Although they praised each other, they really deserved the praise. At this time, the two girls stood together, one was dressed in gorgeous clothes, the other was simple and elegant; the other wore a jewelry ribbon, and the other wore a flower crown on her head. , but when they stand together, they look very appropriate.

And Aigron is the person who feels this charm most intuitively. He has bright eyes at the moment, staring at them all the time—this is the beauty he wants to touch and possess.

He is not only a careerist, but also a poet. He also has the poet's pursuit of beauty and the careerist's desire to devour everything.

These two girls, one is his fiancée, and the other is the girl he wants to take as his lover. He wants to continue to have what he already has, and he is not willing to give up what he has not yet obtained.

This may not be in line with morality. If life cannot be free to fulfill one's desires...then what is the point of pursuing becoming an emperor?The teenagers thought.

So even if he feels guilty, he will continue until he achieves his goal.

Teresa and Agnes certainly couldn't feel what the young man was thinking at this time—if they knew, they might have come together to settle the score with him...but that seemed quite interesting.

"Miss Agnes, what are your plans next?" Amid the applause, Teresa asked with a smile.

"I... I don't have any plans." Agnes shook her head in embarrassment. "I just wanted to go back to the original position, spend the rest of the time, and then go back to rest."

"I didn't invite you here just to make you stand in the middle of the night..." Teresa shook her head lightly, "It's been a long time since I've seen you, I do miss you a bit, so I want to talk to you about something, Is it convenient for you?"

Because Teresa had praised her so much, Agnes would naturally not refuse her request, "Of course that's fine, anyway, I have nothing else to do right now. But...does your fiancé have anything to do?"

When Agnes mentioned the young man, Teresa's complexion sank slightly, "It doesn't matter if I leave him for a while, haven't we been separated for a long time?"

"I think it's better for you to watch him more." Agnes replied angrily. "Who knows what he would do without you."

Although at Chanel's request, Agnes promised never to mention the young man who offended her several times, but she was still angry, and she couldn't help but get angry a few times.

However, her words changed greatly in Teresa's ears.

Is this a demonstration against yourself?

However, today she has made up her mind not to lose her temper, so she just asked silently in her heart and pretended she didn't hear it.

"Please follow me." She pulled Agnes, then walked out of the hall and walked to the next room.

Aigron, who had been watching, knew in his heart that this was the decisive moment, so he winked at Chanel behind him.

Chanel nodded helplessly, and followed the two girls calmly, observing the final result in the name of serving Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Teresa led Agnes into the room, then found a chair and sat down.

Then, she seemed a little tired and closed her eyes.

"What's wrong with you?" Agnes was a little surprised.

"I had a drink during the celebration just now, so I may be a little overwhelmed right now, but it's okay." Teresa opened her eyes again, and explained to her with a smile.

Then, she stopped talking for a while, and Agnes didn't know what to say, so the two fell silent for a while.

After a while, Teresa broke the silence. "Miss Agnes, since I met you, I have always admired you very much. After seeing you make a move today, I have an unspeakable admiration for you... I don't know if we are friends now, but No matter what happened before or after, this admiration will always remain in my heart."

"If you are willing to invite me as a friend, of course I will not refuse the honor." Agnes replied hastily.

"Okay, with your words, then we will be friends from now on—" Teresa seemed very happy, and then continued, "So, as friends, do you agree that even if each other has secrets, We should respect each other and leave room for it?"　　

219, the confession of the heart

"So, as friends, do you agree that even if each other has secrets, they should respect each other and leave room for each other?"

After finishing speaking, Princess Teresa looked at Agnes solemnly, waiting for her reply.

"Naturally!" Agnes replied without thinking. "As friends, we should respect each other."

After answering, Agnes's smile suddenly froze again.

Because at this moment, she suddenly remembered that the young man before was also deliberately fooling herself by saying "as a friend", and then threatened herself to forgive his frivolity, and coerced herself to act according to his will.

These two people are really a match made in heaven, they even have the same tricks when they play tricks!thought Agnes.

Just because she recalled the "lessons" she had learned back then, she, who had never had any intentions before, couldn't help feeling vigilant at this moment.

After all, it was painful enough to learn a lesson once, and she didn't want to repeat the same mistakes.

Teresa didn't know what Agnes was thinking, but judging from her expression, it was obvious that she was insincere, so her mood became even more depressed.

Maybe Agnes doesn't respect herself—ordinarily, she wouldn't think so at all, but tonight, after seeing Agnes's performance, Teresa lost her composure in a rare way, feeling ashamed The shadow of her made her start to have some doubts about herself.

"When I was in Methoni, I heard some rumors about you and Your Highness." Although she was a little depressed, Teresa pulled herself together and continued, "I never believed that One of the words, because in my mind, you are definitely not that kind of person."

Although it was deliberately tactful, Teresa still got into the topic. She hoped that in this way, everyone could end the turmoil decently, and also allow Miss Agnes to maintain her dignity.

Although it seems a bit ridiculous to be reserved and decent at this time, this kind of reserve has been engraved in Teresa's soul along with her education since she was a child, and she instinctively only thought of solving her headaches in this way .

However, Agnes's personality was quite different from hers. After hearing Teresa's euphemism, she felt a little anxious.

On the one hand, she feels that she has no guilt in her heart and does not need to be humble; on the other hand, her own character is also used to being straightforward and doesn't want to go around in circles.

Therefore, she did not pretend to be shy and tactful on such issues like those ladies and ladies in the social world, but made it clear directly.

"Your Highness, I am very grateful for your trust in me. I also solemnly inform you that I don't know who is spreading these rumors, but they are all vicious slanderous rumors. I have absolutely nothing to do with your fiancé , and never thought of destroying the relationship between you and him, in fact, I am an innocent victim in this matter, I just want to get out of these troubles!"

Agnes stated her position in a righteous way. Originally, she wanted to say more, accusing herself of being frivolously treated with good intentions, but at this moment she thought of Chanel and her crying and pleading, so she I didn't say anything more, so as not to make Chanel a dilemma at that time.

In her opinion, her attitude is enough to prove everything.

However, for Teresa, such words are not enough to prove everything.

She has seen too many insincere lies in the court and in the social arena, and even she herself has to lie in accordance with social etiquette on different occasions, so she will instinctively produce such categorical words. Suspect.

Besides, the person who informed her was Major Henchy, a soldier selected by her father himself. He was an upright and aboveboard soldier, and she absolutely did not believe that the major would lie.

And no matter how Agnes denies it, the intimate relationship between her and His Highness is a fact before everyone, so how could nothing happen?

But Agnes's decisive attitude also made her face difficulties.

How should I continue?Should I refute her face to face and continue arguing with her, or should I call the major or other parties over to confront her and expose her lies?

No, no matter which of these two methods, it will only make things worse and make everyone lose face.

Teresa suddenly became a little at a loss—even though she had read all kinds of books since she was a child, she really lacked experience in dealing with this issue.

"You really have a direct personality..." After a while, Teresa could only smile reluctantly, "Okay, since you can express your opinion like this, that would be great, I think the rumors will calm down as soon as possible, and we will You can also continue to get along as friends—"

Then, as if to ease the atmosphere, she asked another question, "What are your plans for the future?"

"Do I have any other plans, just continue to live the same way as before, and I will bring Edgar back to China when everything on your side subsides." Agnes replied honestly, "As for this period, I will try my best to Keep a low profile so you don't trouble anyone."

"It can be seen that you are homesick." Teresa said quite intimately.

"Yeah, who wouldn't miss his family after staying so far away?" Agnes nodded, with a little sadness in her eyes, "I can't write to my parents here , They don't know my recent situation, they are all old, they should be waiting for me to return home safely."

Perhaps infected by Agnes, Tereza's eyes suddenly turned red.

"I miss my parents too, they're getting older... and unlike you, I've tortured them mentally, so if anything goes wrong with their bodies, I'm going to be responsible for the worst , I don’t even know when I’ll be able to go back and visit them.”

Hearing her almost pathetic confession, Agnes couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic to Teresa.

After all, their standpoint of "being a daughter" is exactly the same.

"So have you ever regretted it?" As soon as she asked, she regretted it herself first.

Now that the deal is done, Princess Teresa is doomed to never turn back. If she really regrets it in her heart, it will not help her to ask such a question, it will only increase the scars in her heart.

Fortunately, at this time Princess Teresa swept away the sadness in her heart, then raised her head and looked at Agnes with proud eyes.

"Regret? Of course not." She shook her head heavily, "Although I may do stupid things, I am not a fool without common sense. Before I left Austria, I had already experienced all the pain and sorrow that was destined to happen. I expected it, and I know I can bear it, because this is the price I am willing to pay for my own pursuit. Your Highness has abandoned the path my father prepared for us, which means that I have to take a path that is too dangerous, But that's okay, I'm willing to accept fate's mercy on me, as long as His Highness walks with me."

Seeing the light in Teresa's eyes, Agnes knew in her heart that her words came from the heart.

I don't know how that guy is worthy of your love... She thought to herself.

"Well, I respect other people's choices. Since you are willing to take this path and enjoy it, then I wish you all the best." Agnes could only reply in this way.

"Actually, you don't have to sympathize with me so much. I think I'm lucky enough compared to the vast majority of people in the world. Many people work hard and don't even know if they can see the sun tomorrow, but I can Planning for years and decades...Even if I choose the most difficult path, at least I still have the title of princess, and I have close family members to rely on." Princess Teresa suddenly laughed, "But Your Highness different...

Although he had a noble background before, he was like a prisoner; although he had blood relatives like his mother and grandfather, and they were all the most honorable people in the world, he had never enjoyed family affection!Calculating carefully, now he is surrounded by followers and servants, but he is still unaccompanied. I am the only relative around him... so I can't leave my Aegron, I want to be with him all the time, Regardless of whether our family ascends to the throne in the future or is forced to wander around the world, at least His Highness will never experience the despair of being alone..."

Teresa's monologue is both gentle and deeply affectionate, so that Agnes can't help but be deeply moved when she listens to it.

Isn't such tenderness and love a rare treasure in the world?

Having such a treasure and still not being content, what a shameless villain!

For a moment, she was full of anger at that young man again. If it wasn't for her promise to Chanel and her own face, she would have cursed at him.

After a moment of hesitation, she took the initiative to speak to Teresa.

"Your Highness, I believe that anyone will be moved by your words just now, and I also believe that you will be able to obtain happiness in the future."

"Thank you for your blessing." Teresa nodded with a smile, "Now that I have come here and get along with my fiancé, I can feel his breath every day, and every sweet word he says, So I believe that he, like me, sincerely hopes that we will have a happy and perfect family in the future, and some rumors will definitely not shake this result."

These words are indeed a bit nasty. Under normal circumstances, Teresa would never be able to easily say this to a third person other than His Highness. It took her a lot of courage to say these things in front of Agnes.
