Eagle's Glory

If it was changed to later generations, she would still be a minor, but in this era, it is very common for women in the royal family to marry at the age of fifteen or sixteen.

This is my fiancée... oh god she's really pretty and cute, so what's wrong with thanking my mother for making it up for her?

Aigron looked at Teresa who was honest with him, and the more excited he looked, the more excited he was, and he almost lost control of himself.

Since coming to Greece, he has basically never tasted that aspect for more than half a year, except that under the city of Messolonghi, Chanel was sent by Teresa to "work the army".

——Compared with the princes and grandchildren of the same age, he is almost an ascetic.

After all, he is a young man with full blood and vigor, at the age when his desires are most intense, and he has tasted that thing many times before, so how can he not know the taste by eating the marrow?

And recently, he and Teresa, who can only watch but not eat, get along day and night, and sleep in each other's arms every night, which makes this desire even more tormented.

It was with great difficulty that he dispelled the growing desire in his heart.

It's still a little bit close, and it's only a little bit close. There's no need to relax your self-control, just wait patiently for the last bit of time... He said to himself again in his heart.

You tormenting little goblin... wait for me!Then you will feel better.

Of course, that doesn't mean he can't do anything—quite the contrary, he can do everything except the last step.

He interrupted his meaningless reverie, and then hugged Teresa tightly into his arms. He was so hard, as if he wanted to melt her into himself.

Teresa felt a little short of breath, but she didn't cry out for pain and didn't have any resistance—for her, it was just right for her to vent out the love and desire accumulated in her heart with more intense movements.

Eggron held her tightly in his arms, and then kissed her again, but this time his movements were much more intense, and Teresa also responded selflessly, and the two couldn't help but let out a violent gasp, almost like It's about to melt into one.

After a long time, they separated again, and Teresa was already flushed because of difficulty breathing-but her eyes were enough to reveal how happy and happy she was at the moment.

"Your Highness..." She called out the only title that only belonged to her at this time.

A word is worth a thousand words. Aigron took her hand and led her into the bathtub. The two sat down leaning against the wall of the bathtub, and Teresa also leaned against Aigron shoulders.

Soaking in a hot bath with a beautiful woman in his arms, this kind of all-round enjoyment from touch to vision made the young man exhale comfortably.

That's the little prize for his career success.

He fiddled with the surface of the water lightly with his hands, and then mischievously let the splash of water fall on Teresa's neck.

"Teresa, although I have said it many times, I want to say it again from the bottom of my heart at this time-it is really good to have you by my side. I am glad that I did not lose it because of my recklessness. You are also glad that you can forgive me, so from now on, please stay by my side, okay?"

"Of course, my dear." Teresa's voice was soft and charming, "I will always be by your side, and we will face everything in the future together."

"That's great..." Aigron laughed emotionally, "You have already endured a disaster for me, and I caused you to suffer misfortune, but I promise you, I will make up for my mistakes, and one day I will No one in the world would dare to laugh at you."

"Don't worry about the past. I don't blame you for it. It's hard to be treated as a laughingstock by the social world, but considering the suffering you have suffered, I don't think it's a big deal... Even if you use this If a small price can be exchanged for us to grow old together, I can happily pay it!"

When talking about this, Teresa changed the subject again, "As long as we are together, I don't care about any disasters, and it's okay to suffer a little bit. I'm mentally prepared...Your Highness, I love you and I am willing to bear loving you The only thing that can make me feel uncomfortable is that you changed your mind and forgot the promise you made to me—"

Such an affectionate confession moved Aigron even more.

But apart from being moved, he also felt a little guilty, because he did do something that was sorry for Teresa and planned to continue doing it in the future...

Because of his guilty conscience, he immediately avoided the question.

"Teresa, you're joking—" he replied with feigned seriousness, "with such a beautiful and lovely princess by my side, how could I change my mind? I love you forever and will always put our family first first place."

This is the truth, but the truth is always only half of the story—there is no doubt that he has Teresa in his heart, and his status is already extraordinary, but his heart is the heart of an emperor who is tolerant and greedy. For one person.

Just because he needed to avoid this guilty question, he became more and more intimate with Teresa.

He stretched out his hand and rubbed Teresa's skin carefully and gently, sometimes even tickling her deliberately.

The woman's skin is inherently sensitive, not to mention that the two of them are taking a bath at this time, and the skin is stretched. It is the most sensitive time. Under Aigron's teasing, Teresa giggled, although she seemed to be resisting constantly, but Seems to be enjoying it again.

Only when the two of them get along alone, can she show such an inappropriate look...

This blissful time lasted for a long time, until late at night, the two of them came out of the bathroom.

At this time, Aigron and Teresa did not put on the original heavy clothes, but wore bathrobes with them.

After relaxing physically and mentally for a while, Aigron at this time was indescribably chic and comfortable. The joy just now made him almost forget all the troubles in the world.

Moreover, today he intends to continue to get rid of the troubles of the world.

He and Teresa went back to the bedroom they lived in before, which had already been cleaned up by Chanel.

After a simple wash, he hugged Teresa and fell asleep on the bed as usual.

Although it was late, both of them were very excited because of the comfort just now, so Teresa took the initiative to stir up the topic again.

"Your Highness, the current date is approaching the end of the year. If our wedding is to be held within this year, there is not much time left... We should write to inform my parents."

"Yes, that's right." Aigron immediately agreed with Teresa's words. "They must know about this matter immediately, and it would be even better if they could come to bless us in person..."

"Will you really welcome it?" Teresa asked jokingly, "Or are you a little guilty?"

"It's a bit guilty to say... But, as long as they can attend, even if they are punched or whipped, I am willing to endure it-because this is the punishment I deserve." Eggron replied awkwardly , "I am very grateful for their attention and help to me. I will always remember this kindness."

"Finally you understand the truth!" Teresa nodded in satisfaction. "Unfortunately, because of his special status, my father probably won't be able to come here, but if Metternich is willing to accommodate, my mother should be able to come and witness her daughter's marriage—"

"That's great." Eggron laughed immediately, "I can't wait to see her again! She is as kind to me as a real mother."

Aigron's words were not entirely polite. When he was in Austria, he visited Teresa's house many times and stayed there for a while. During these times, Princess Henrietta took good care of her. He, and readily agreed to his marriage with Teresa.

His relationship with his mother was very bad, but from his future mother-in-law, he really felt the warmth of maternal love.

Although it's a pity that Grand Duke Karl couldn't come, it would be enough to make him happy if his mother-in-law could come to witness the wedding of the two and give her blessings.

Teresa had been watching the boy's reaction, and she was also very happy to see the respect he had for his mother.

"Your Highness, I have already written a letter to my mother before we set off from Ioannina to the south. The letter will soon fall into her hands..."

Then, she laughed again, "My mother won't punch you or give you a horsewhip, but there will be plenty of reprimands. I hope you won't be too proud to make her angry~ "

"Of course, of course! No matter what she says, I will just listen obediently." Eggron repeatedly assured, "Don't you know Teresa? I know how to measure. Your mother will be treated with the most respect from me." .”

The young man's guarantee made Teresa no longer have any worries. At this moment, all that remained in her heart was the yearning and expectation for the two of them to get married and form a family.

"On that day, come quickly..."

She whispered to herself, then hugged her fiancé tightly, and closed her eyes comfortably.

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

Just as the unmarried couple happily walked into the bath together, the Archduke Karl and his wife, who were far away in Vienna, finally received the letter sent by Teresa.

In the letter, Teresa disclosed the details of the founding of the Principality of Ioannina, and also revealed her and Aigron's plans for the Principality and Haiide's future. At the end of the letter, Teresa mentioned Arrived at her own marriage, and sincerely invited her parents to go to Greece to witness her lifelong event.

After reading the letter, Archduke Karl was still as serious as usual.

"It's actually the Parthenon!" He frowned and criticized, "It's just a joke! This is too capricious for children."

"They do have the capital to be willful, don't they?" Mrs. Henrietta replied slightly ostentatiously, "Why can't my daughter be more willful if she has the ability?"

Grand Duke Karl was at a loss for words.

"You can always find any words to excuse these naughty kids!" At last he could only sigh.

"Because they are really a good match, aren't they...?" Madam laughed, "I said before that Teresa might be a queen in the future, you still don't believe it, hasn't it been proven now?"

"It's too early to talk about queens now." The Grand Duke retorted, "It's far from it!"

"If you have a principality today, wouldn't it be normal to have an empire tomorrow?" Madam blinked her eyes expectantly, "Teresa and Franz, the two of them must be able to create miracles. Start by looking after them..."

Before waiting for her husband to reply, the wife asked again, "Can you find a chance to go there?"

"Of course not." The Grand Duke looked a little sad.

"It seems that I have to find a way to go..." Madam was not surprised, but sighed regretfully, "But that's okay, if you go and give him a whip, we won't I know how it ended..."

"Heh..." The Grand Duke laughed mockingly, "Could it be that he was the victim?"

"Okay, don't mention the past at this time, even Metternich doesn't care about it?" The lady replied with a smile, and then asked, "Is there anything you want me to take with you? "

"No." The Grand Duke replied firmly. "Let them do it for themselves."　　

242, Spartan Agreement

After returning to Methoni in a low-key manner, Aigron and Teresa enjoyed a short period of joy. During these few days, they no longer need to worry about the outside world, and can concentrate on savoring the fun of daily life and all the troubles in the world. , seems to have nothing to do with them.

However, this is only an occasional rest after all, there are too many things waiting for the young man to decide, and he cannot be left for too long.

Just as the agreed date was approaching, Aigron and Teresa reluctantly left Methone, and under the protection of the guards, they embarked on a journey to Sparta together.

The last time Aigron went along this road to meet with Theodoros Kolokotronis and reached a cooperation agreement between the two parties.

But this time, he met with the other party again in order to celebrate his success and to delineate the border between the future Kingdom of Greece and the Principality of Ioannina.

In terms of the current relationship between the two parties, it is not difficult to reach a tacit agreement on this issue.

Therefore, compared to the seriousness and depression last time, this time Egron felt much more relaxed. He and Teresa rode together and walked slowly through various villages and towns surrounded by guards. It's like traveling in mountains and rivers.

At this time, the news about him and Teresa had already spread in the Peloponnese Peninsula, so wherever they passed, the villagers gathered on both sides of the road, cheering for them, and some even Send bread and salt to this small caravan as a sign of welcome and respect-although it is winter now, it has not stopped people's enthusiasm in the slightest.

Such enthusiasm, of course, is not all out of love and gratitude to Aigron and Teresa. These villagers have lived in their own villages for generations, and most of them even live in the small Peloponnese Peninsula. I have never walked out, and I have never seen a few important people in my life, but I just have a vague idea of ​​the outside world.

So it's no surprise that when Napoleon's son and the Habsburg princess passed through the country together, they instinctively wanted to see it.

Perhaps—their demeanor when passing through these villages will become the biggest talking point in these villages in the next few decades.

Of course Aigron and Teresa can see the mentality of the villagers, but they are also very happy to satisfy their psychology of watching the excitement, so every time they pass a village, they will meet the village chief and accept the bread and salt they worship, As well as other gifts, although they did not understand the language, they all accepted these gifts with a very humble attitude, and made everyone who was received feel like a spring breeze.

For Aigron and Teresa, this is the basic skill they have practiced since they were young, and they all know that one day, they will also hold this kind of friendly show in France. It is a good thing to practice and preview in advance.

In this way, the two of them walked and stopped among the villages along the way with a playful attitude, and it took two days to arrive after a journey of tens of kilometers.

At this time, Theozolos and Panos, father and son, were already waiting here.

When they saw this mighty team, the father and son quickly asked the guards around them to fire their guns into the sky to show their welcome. As the distance between the two teams got closer, Aigron and Teresa also got off their horses , and then walked together in front of the father and son.

"I'm glad to have met you so soon." Theozolos Kolokotronis changed his usual seriousness and looked at Aigron with a smile on his face, while his son Panos translated beside him. "I have to say, you are doing better than I imagined."

Even if he didn't translate, Aigron could guess what he meant, so he also smiled and replied to the other party, "Without you holding a large group of Turks, I wouldn't be able to win easily, so... the victory now belongs to us. Yes, we also need to cherish together.”

After listening to Panos' translation, Theozolos nodded solemnly, "Yes, that's right, we must cherish the hard-won victory and the peace that will follow. Your Highness, I can't express it in words. I am grateful to you, but please rest assured that my son and I will always be your friends, and as long as we can speak, Greece will always be your friend—”

After speaking, he warmly opened his arms to the young man, and then hugged Aigron to express his kindness and gratitude.

Then, his eyes fell on Teresa next to him.

"Your Highness, you are so beautiful and graceful, worthy of your family's reputation." He complimented Teresa, "I can't help feeling that after so many centuries of devastation, our country, which has suffered a lot, When will a woman like you be born who can lead the country?"

After listening to the translation, Teresa still smiled happily even though she knew that the other party was speaking politely.

"You are really flattered!" She quickly and humbly replied, "Your motherland is a great civilized country, and all European countries have bathed in the blessings from here...Although it has experienced catastrophe, it is destined to be reborn from the ashes. Those outstanding women will emerge sooner or later, like the goddesses in mythology, to inherit the culture and elegance of this civilization."

After she finished speaking, she took the initiative to hug Theodoros with the courtesy of a junior to an elder.

Seeing Princess Teresa being so humble, Theozoros was also extremely happy.

After hearing the news from his son that Princess Teresa came with her fiancé, he already found it very interesting. Now that he saw the real person, he felt that it was really extraordinary.

Therefore, when Panos reported that Her Royal Highness wanted to use the Parthenon as the venue for the wedding, he agreed without any hesitation.

Of course, he didn't just consider this matter from the perspective of personal feelings - the wedding of the Duke of Lechstedt and Princess Teresa must also be the first international event facing the newborn Greece, at least in the news The effect is already full, and when this sensational event spreads to the whole of Europe, Greece itself will inevitably benefit from it.

Of course he was happy to see it happen.

Looking at this soon-to-be young couple, he suddenly had a feeling in his heart that "the era does not belong to me anymore"-they have already done so many amazing things when they were still so young, and after that they will be even more amazing. Unlimited, and an older generation like myself can only watch quietly from the sidelines.

However, it is also a historical necessity that a new generation wins over the old, and there is nothing to be sad about.

Theozolos put aside some emotion in his heart, and then made another joke to Egron.

"Your Highness, I think we should settle the matter as soon as possible. With your fiancée by your side, you definitely don't want to waste time on a bad old man like me."

"I'm also embarrassed to waste your precious time." Aigron also replied with a smile.

So just like last time, Aegron and Theozolos left a large group of guards on the left and right, and strolled on the only remaining ruins of Sparta City. Just like last time, Panos followed them as an interpreter, The difference is that Edmond Dantès was replaced by Teresa.

The four of them chatted and laughed as they walked, and slowly came to the ruins of the Spartan City Theater.

Teresa came here for the first time, and she was very interested in these things, so her eyes were always looking around curiously, only regretting that she didn't bring a sketchbook to draw everything here.

For Aigron, "now" is much more important than "past".

What he was going to talk to Theozolos now was about the two nascent countries.

And Theozolos obviously also attached great importance to this issue. After making sure that no one else could eavesdrop, he looked at Egron again with a serious expression.

"Your Highness, how do you plan to deal with the border between the Principality of Ioannina and Greece?"

Because Aigron is his ally, although he was not notified in advance, he still acquiesced in the establishment of this principality, and is willing to maintain a good-neighborly and friendly relationship with it-after all, most of the Balkans are still in the Turks. It is also a good thing to have multiple Orthodox neighbors who support each other under the rule of China.

However, part of the Ioannina region is within the territory of Greece. He cannot sit back and watch too much land being ceded, otherwise it will not only damage his own patriotism, but his opponents in the country will also take the opportunity to attack him for traitorous glory.

So he was also a little afraid in his heart that the young man would be too young and arrogant, which would make him unable to step down from the stage.
