Eagle's Glory

Under the attention of the whole army, Aegron in military uniform walked up to the queue of officers, then took off his hat and waved it to greet them.

"Warriors, I wish you all the best!"

Following his salute, the sound of salutes also rumbled, and the guard of honor also fired into the sky to cheer for the advance army.

Aigron walked past the officers, greeted them one by one, and finally came to the Count of Monte Cristo.

"Edmond...I'm really sorry, I called you everywhere, but I didn't let you rest for a few days." He smiled and said to Edmond Dantès, "I just let you finish running in Istanbul, and I'm going to send you to Ioannina has gone."

"Your Majesty, since this is my idea, then I should find a way to realize it." Edmund Dantès replied generously, "Besides, the tasks you have entrusted to me are based on your trust in me. Never let it down—”

"If everyone here was as loyal and resourceful as you are, would our cause have anything to worry about?" said Aigron, deeply moved.

Then, he beckoned, and took a knight order medal from the guard next to him, and hung it on Edmond Dantès' chest.

"This is in recognition of your previous achievements, and you deserve it." Aigron made a gesture to signal Edmund Dantès not to be humble or refuse, "I even think that it is really not enough to reward you with it alone ...So, when this task is completed, I will award you a higher honor, so that it is worthy of your outstanding contribution to us. Edmund...You have a share in my career, and I will Always remember that fact."

Egron is not just talking about it. In fact, he has already decided that after Ioannina is pacified, he will officially announce that the Count of Monte Cristo is the nominal guardian of the Grand Duchess Ioannina, and then he will be the guardian of the Grand Duchess in the name of Haidee. He awarded a small fiefdom in the future duchy, so that his title of knighthood would be worthy of the name.

In his hands, this once little sailor will become a real nobleman, a great man whose name will go down in history.

In terms of rewards, he has always been willing to spend money, because he knows that loyalty is the most precious and scarce commodity, and it must be rewarded as it should be.

Edmund Dantès was both joyful and ashamed, and was speechless all of a sudden.

For the young man in front of him, he has both the grace of saving his life and the grace of knowing him, so how can he not repay it wholeheartedly?

"Your Majesty, your reputation will definitely shock the whole of Ioannina. If anyone resists your will, we will eradicate him!" He replied tremblingly, "I am there, waiting for your presence!"

"It's not just Ioannina—" Aigron raised his hand and pointed to the sky, "My reputation will be spread everywhere the sky covers in the future."

Edmund Dantès couldn't help but nodded heavily. "It is inevitable, Your Majesty!"

Then, he changed the subject again, "Your Majesty, please treat Haidée kindly, she is already pitiful enough..."

"Why, have you already started to perform your duties before I officially appointed you as her guardian?" Aigron asked back with a smile, "Don't worry, she means a lot to us, and I don't want her to make any mistakes .As long as she is willing to obey and cooperate with us obediently, then she can have everything except power and live a happy and worry-free life."

Edmund Dantès was relieved, and said goodbye to Aigron.

In this way, under the watchful eye of Aigron, the advance team began to march towards Ioannina, and the Count of Monte Cristo also went on an expedition with the army to open up a new living space for His Majesty.

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

At this time, in the city of Messolonghi, Teresa has been watching the actions of the distant army.

As Egron's closest person, she certainly knows all the details of His Highness' plan.

She knew even more that the most important part of this plan was sitting next to her.

She turned her gaze back, and then looked at the young girl sitting beside her.

At this time, Haidee was looking at the French alphabet on the table in a daze, and beside her was a small plate, and the snacks in the plate had been eaten by her.

Teresa smiled, then picked up the alphabet again, and then again, read out to Haidee one by one, and then urged Haidee to read it after herself.

Haiidee obediently followed her to read, but some syllables were obviously out of alignment, and Teresa was not in a hurry, she still patiently corrected her and followed her tirelessly.

She is now going to teach Haide French so that she can have a free conversation with His Royal Highness and others in the future—although her mother tongue is German, Teresa has also learned French since she was a child, and she speaks it very proficiently, so for her, the professor Haidee had no difficulty.

In Teresa's capacity, this is really a bit wronged, it means that she took the initiative to do the tutor's work.

It stands to reason that she is not the only one who can do this. She can find another professional tutor for Haiidee, but Teresa has worked tirelessly to ask Eggron to marry Haiidee herself, turning her into her "" student".

On the one hand, this is out of pity for Haiidee, she wants to let Haiidee feel a little warmth in the world; on the other hand, it is also to let her pass the time by herself.

But the more important reason is... She hopes to use this to leave an indelible influence on Haidee's heart, and then turn Haiide into her own friend——

Or the same party.

That's right, she just wants to expand her power and prestige.

After the previous confrontation, she has already seen that the French people around His Highness, although on the surface they respect her very much because of Aigron's order, but in their hearts, they still regard themselves as "outsiders." ".

She knew that this was a fact, and every foreign queen who was married to France in history would be treated this way, but she still felt aggrieved by it.

For His Highness, she has paid so much, it can be said to be sincere, but in the end, this group of people didn't appreciate it at all, and kept her out intentionally or unintentionally.

It's just that they don't appreciate it, and they deliberately promoted Agnes to embarrass themselves!

At the celebration banquet that night, she had already noticed that some people were deliberately carrying Agnes to fight against her, and even deliberately watched her jokes.

How shameless and rebellious this is... That is to say, Teresa has cultivated herself well, so she didn't get angry enough to lose her composure.

Although she had seen clearly in her heart, she didn't make a big scene on the spot, because it was not only disgraceful, but also meaningless, and would only increase everyone's antipathy towards her.

Besides, she didn't want to spoil the fun when everyone was happy.

So she could only choose to pretend not to notice, and treat Agnes with courtesy, minimized the impact of the incident, and did not make any jokes.

Fortunately, Miss Agnes didn't seem to know about this conspiracy, and she chose to back down very friendly, so that what Teresa was most worried about did not happen, but Teresa's anger did not dissipate.

In her opinion, whoever tries to alienate her relationship with His Highness is an unforgivable sinner.

She has already made up her mind, and she must give this group of people a little color in the future.

And - if he still turns a deaf ear to such an obvious threat, wouldn't he be at the mercy of others in the future?

She loves His Highness and is willing to sacrifice for His Highness, but this does not mean that she is willing to be manipulated by a group of villains because she is proud in her heart, she absolutely cannot bear this.

Since you can't get their respect and love no matter what, let them be speechless.

If you want to achieve your goal, it is not enough to just say harsh words, you need to take practical actions.

She buried everything in her heart, and then quietly began to act.

If it was an ordinary girl, she might still be at a loss and be at a loss now, but after all, she is a princess of the royal family. She has been influenced by her ears and eyes all the year round, and her clever mind makes her almost self-teaching without a teacher.

Moreover, she has always been a stubborn and executive person. Once she makes up her mind, this seemingly innocent girl can burst out with energy that even her parents are amazed by that seemingly petite body.

To expand their influence, they first need someone to help them, and Haiidee happened to be such a gift from heaven.

The future Grand Duchess of Ioannina respected her now, and she was happy to make Haidee her friend.

In this way, Teresa taught Haiide tirelessly with a gentle smile, and Haiide also studied seriously, and the two of them completely forgot the passage of time.

Unknowingly, Chanel came in with a plate and coffee.

"Your Highness, you have been talking for a long time. You should be tired now, right? Let's take a rest first?" She suggested to Teresa with a smile.

"Thank you, Chanel." Teresa stopped her lecture, took a sip of coffee, and moistened her thirsty throat.

She didn't know how deeply Chanel was involved in that matter, and she didn't know how much she had deceived herself, but judging from her performance that night, she was obviously more inclined to Agnes between herself and Agnes Silk.

However, the time they spend together is not short, and she also has some feelings for Chanel.

And she also believed that Chanel would never intentionally try to run on her, and that the other party's thoughts were only loyal to His Highness.

From this standpoint, the two are standing together.

So she didn't have much hidden hostility towards Chanel.

"You should also take a break, Chanel, how about we drink coffee together and give her a lecture later?" She suggested with a smile.　　

230,Education

After hearing Her Highness Teresa's proposal, Chanel hesitated.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid I have nothing to teach her... After all, she is the future Grand Duke..."

"What kind of grand duke, that's just a deception—" Theresa disapproved, "She was bought by His Highness, so she is destined to serve us as well. She is no different from you, and there is no distinction in status. It can even be said that you, as a member of my Highness's family, are more important than her."

Chanel was flattered by such thoughtful words.

"Your Highness..."

She was so happy, not because she was concerned about her high status, but because she was recognized by Princess Teresa as a member of the family, which meant that she could justifiably stay by His Majesty's side all the time.

"Since you said so, then I'll teach her how to make coffee later. Even if I become a Grand Duchess in the future, I should still need it~" Chanel no longer refused, and agreed.

"I think she would be more interested in learning this than learning grammar." Teresa replied with a smile. "Maybe I can learn from you someday when I'm interested. After all, my mother has always said that I don't drink well."

She is so friendly to Chanel, on the one hand, because she needs to maintain a good relationship with Chanel so that she can continue to work for herself; on the other hand, she also feels that Chanel has a simple personality and can be trusted.

In this way, the two of them put Haiide aside for a while and chatted happily, and Haiide was very glad that she could steal a little time and eat snacks quietly.

After preparing the atmosphere, Teresa changed the subject calmly.

"Chanel, I have a question for you—"

"Just ask." Chanel nodded immediately.

"What do you think of M. Edgar de Treville?" Teresa asked unhurriedly.

Although her tone was very ordinary, Chanel immediately changed her color slightly - after all, she had a ghost in her heart about what happened last time.

Chanel... You are such a person who can't hide what's on your mind, Teresa thought.

But it is also because of this that His Highness trusts her so much.

Teresa didn't urge her either, she just looked at Chanel calmly, as if she was waiting for her to reply.

Under her gaze, Chanel hesitated for a while, and finally lowered his head to answer her. "I found him to be a rather unpleasant person, a devious playboy."

"Why do you think so?" Teresa asked, "Mr. Edgar looks very handsome and has artistic talent, so he should be very likable, right?"

Although she was asking questions on the surface, Teresa had already confirmed her guess from Chanel's performance-as expected, it was all Edgar's tricks.

Although he didn't appear on the stage that day, he was secretly instigating and collating everything. It was also under his instigation that Prince Charles was in the open and Chanel was in the dark, and they all supported Miss Agnes.

Hmph, this greasy-faced playboy is indeed a complete conspirator, a despicable person!

For a moment, Teresa was filled with disgust and hatred for Edgar, and even for the Treville family.

Obviously, this guy just wanted to use his sister-in-law to curry favor with His Highness in order to gain His Highness's favor.

Mingming has a prominent family background and a clever mind, but in the end he is neither willing to make suggestions nor to charge forward, but only wants to play this kind of conspiracy to flatter him. It can be described as the demeanor of a famous nobleman - she has seen this kind of flattery in the court. The femme fatale under the face.

Teresa did not expect that she and His Royal Highness were still in the stage of starting a business and were still far away from the throne, but they would encounter court politics early on, and their spearheads were actually directed at her, which made her heart ache. She was so arrogant that she couldn't swallow this breath.

She has nothing to do with Edgar now, because a large group of people around His Highness are obviously on his side, but she secretly swears in her heart that when she gets a chance in the future, they will be good to look at.

Being questioned by Teresa, Chanel became even more entangled, and she hesitated for a while before stammering her answer. "It is true that he is indeed quite charming on the surface, and ... and is said to be well-known in Parisian society, but, I think, he is ... a rather heartless person, and he probably does not love anyone but himself. , nor care about any creed.

I have seen him for so long, I have never seen him really show his feelings of missing his wife and daughter, not once, although he said countless scenes... You know his daughter was just born, isn't he Miss you? !Also, Mrs. Alice was so respectable that he didn't care about it.Your Highness, think about it, if a person doesn't even care about his own relatives, how can he be kind to others?So when I think about it, I kind of hate him. "

"That's right...that's true." Teresa nodded, "I also think this person is absurd, unprincipled, and untrustworthy."

From Chanel's answer, she also saw that Chanel hated Edgar from the bottom of her heart, so she believed that Chanel would not be able to participate in Edgar's conspiracy in the future.

She is now caught in a vortex built by malice, and bears the brunt of it, so the most important thing now is to distinguish friend from foe.

In order to save everyone from embarrassment, she doesn't want to ask about the previous things, she just needs to confirm this point.Wanting to avenge this humiliation, the days to come will be long.

"Okay, since we don't like him, let's stop talking about such a person and make ourselves unhappy." Teresa changed the subject again, then picked up the cup and took another sip of coffee, "I'll start over Teach Haidee grammar, the child must have had enough rest!"

"Yes!" Chanel immediately agreed as if she had been pardoned. .

Just now she was terrified, especially worried that Princess Teresa would ask whether she had cooperated with Edgar's actions that night.

She wasn't worried that telling the truth would offend Her Majesty the Princess, but she was afraid that if Princess Teresa knew that Her Majesty had specially ordered Edgar to divorce Agnes, it would add another shadow to the unmarried couple. Her Highness Teresa didn't seem to want to continue to pursue the matter of the last time, and finally gave her some breathing room.

She could also see that His Highness Teresa hadn't forgotten what happened last time, but His Highness's anger had already focused on Edgar and Prince Charles, so she didn't care.

Even she was glad to see the bad luck of the annoying Edgar.

So Teresa picked up the self-made alphabet again and continued to teach Haidee.

Not long after, Aigron, who had finished the expedition ceremony, also walked back to the mansion.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Teresa teaching Haidee, and he couldn't help feeling very amused.

Seeing Eggron's return, Teresa also stopped the lecture, and then signaled to Haidee.

Haidee understood, and walked in front of Egron, then bent her knees and raised her skirt, and saluted him respectfully.

Then she raised her head and greeted the young man in her imperfect French.

"Good morning, Your Majesty!"

Aigron froze for a moment, then he nodded immediately, "Good morning."

Then, he looked at Teresa excitedly.

"Teresa, I didn't expect you to have the talent to be a teacher. You've already looked decent in just one day."

"This child is very talented and very smart." Teresa replied with a smile, "And she knows in her heart that you are the master who bought her, so she is willing to study hard to please you, and she regards it as her own. obligation."

"This kind of self-knowledge is what many people lack." Aigron sighed, "If she can maintain this mentality in the future, then we will save a lot of trouble."
