Eagle's Glory

Maria looked around at the flowers, then cleared her throat.

Then, she frowned, showing a sad look.

"My dear friend, do you know what you did? You stood in front of a woman who longed for warmth, you gave her hope, you made her smile again, in this case, how could you bear to be so cruel? Let her despair? If you do, then you have committed the greatest crime in the world!"

The voice was soft and melodious, like weeping and complaining, which made people feel desolate in their hearts.

"Ah..." Aigron felt severe pain in his heart as if he had been stabbed by a needle suddenly.

He barely raised his head, and saw Sophie's expression on the other side's face in a trance, almost lifelike.

Sophie had rehearsed with him the sentence that he had written back then, but he did not expect to reproduce it from another mouth with almost the same voice and expression.

And combined with the reality that has already happened, it is simply... a slap in the face.

He suddenly felt a burning pain on his face.

"Hahahaha..." Seeing his blushing face, Maria trembled with laughter. "How is it written? I think it's pretty good. So did I praise the wrong person? I think I deserve it?"

Aegron was ashamed and angry at the same time. He secretly glanced at Maria, thinking in his heart that if he had the chance, he must teach this girl who had been sneering at him a lesson.

But after a while, he came back to his senses.

Why did Sophie even tell her this?Why did she remember so clearly again?

He recalled some things, some fragments that had been buried deep in his memory.

He opened his eyes wide and looked at Maria, "Your Highness, she... Did she plan to match you and me?"

[Completely independent world line, everyone has fun~]

1837. 12, 29

As the New Year approaches, all parts of France are full of festive atmosphere, and in the Palace of Fontainebleau, where His Majesty the Emperor lives, this festive atmosphere is even more extraordinary.

Because today is the tenth anniversary celebration of the marriage between His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Empress.

Ten years ago today, the two His Majesties married in Athens, Greece.

Under the gaze and cheers of countless people, they got married and became an inseparable one, and it was from that time that a new era came.

On that day, they never held half of the authority in France, but ten years later, they have become the supreme authority of this country, and all citizens, regardless of class, have to kneel before this couple and obey their orders. rule.

And they did not abuse their hard-won authority, but kept their oath, ruled the country with incomparable energy and enthusiasm, and put the well-being of the people first. It is precisely because of their efforts that the French people finally Get rid of the long-term turmoil and anxiety, and enjoy the rare days of prosperity and peace

Of course, as far as governing the country is concerned, the two majesties are talented and knowledgeable people, so they sponsored a lot of art and industry, and used celebrations to decorate their rule more colorfully.

Today, the two majesties are in their prime, and the people cheer every advance they make in the country, and hope that their reign lasts as long as it does in peacetime.

As night fell, the Palace of Fontainebleau suddenly became a sea of ​​lights and flowers. Fireworks were continuously set off in the sky. Adults and children carried special lanterns and wandered among the gardens and buildings, laughing and celebrating. The tenth wedding anniversary of the two His Majesties.

The two majesties did not join the cheering crowd, but were alone in the emperor's bedroom.

After all, they are already tired of the hustle and bustle. On this day that belongs to them alone, they would rather just enjoy each other's tenderness.

They sat upright at the dining table, where all kinds of dishes and famous wines had already been placed, and the attendants had already retreated, and only the two of them enjoyed the moment.

His Majesty the Emperor poured a glass of wine from the bottle in front of him, and then looked out the window.

The fireworks in mid-air are gorgeous and colorful, constantly blooming and extinguishing, flashing and flashing, beautiful and beautiful.

"Beautiful things don't last long." Eggron sighed.

Then he looked back at Teresa, "But our marriage lasts forever, Teresa, I love you."

"I love you too, Your Highness~" Teresa smiled sweetly.

Then, she also poured out the wine from her own bottle, and took a small sip. "I didn't expect that ten years have passed... It's like a dream, it's too fast!"

"Yeah, time is so ruthless." Aigron also nodded, "But there is still a lot of time left for us."

"On this day, I can't help reminiscing about every bit of our relationship." Teresa took another sip of wine, and then looked at her husband.

There was a bright light in her eyes, full of love and tenderness. "Although there have been sorrows and pains, I still feel that I am very happy... I thank God for bringing you to my side, and allowing me to be with you at the closest distance."

"Me too." Eggron replied with a smile, and then took a sip of his wine. "I wouldn't have done what I've done without you... We'll go down in the history books together, God bless, I can have a wife like you!"

"But there are too many people blessed by God—" Teresa suddenly smiled wryly.

Aegron probably understood what she meant, and he suddenly felt a little helpless.

"Cheers!" Fortunately, Teresa did not embarrass him on this day, but took the initiative to pick up the glass.

"Cheers!" Eggron was so happy, and quickly picked up the glass.

The two chatted and drank, and the atmosphere was happy and harmonious, which made this wedding anniversary more tender.

"boom!"

Just as they were recalling the past, an extra-large firework exploded in the air, and the colorful fireworks subsequently illuminated the room like a rainbow-like mirage, and Teresa's sight was also attracted there.

"Your Highness, I heard that making a wish when the fireworks are blooming will be very effective. Is it true?" Teresa asked.

Seeing his wife asking such a girlish question, Aigron laughed dumbfounded.

"Yes, of course, if God doesn't grant your wish, then I will—" Then he replied proudly, "There are very few things we can't do nowadays."

"That's good." Teresa smiled and nodded, then turned her head to look at her husband, "So at this time, can I have the courage to make a wish to God and you?"

"Please~" Of course Aigron would not spoil her interest, so he spread his hands.

"I wish that my husband will stay by my side forever, only rely on me and only care about me, and let our souls melt together until the end of our lives." So Teresa expressed her wish .

Aigron felt a sudden shock in his heart, and he looked at Teresa in surprise.

The fireworks are still being released, and the illusory and blurred light is swimming on Teresa's face, making her smile a little more mysterious.

"We are one..." He retorted softly.

"It should be like this, but there are always some unbearable impurities." Teresa replied softly, "It's still a little different from what I desire, my dear, am I too greedy?"

"Of course not..." Aegron's forehead was slightly sweaty, "That's how it should be, we are a couple..."

"Darling...are you uncomfortable?" Teresa asked in a low voice.

Aegron was a little baffled by this question.

"I'm fine." After a moment, he replied with a smile. "Teresa... I'm going to celebrate with you tonight. I love you."

They have been married for ten years, and Teresa naturally understands the meaning of this celebration. Normally, she would be happy or shy, but at this time she remained calm and even looked a little sad.

This look made Egron even more uncomfortable.

He suddenly really felt a little uncomfortable - his body seemed a little weak, and his head was a little dizzy.

Is it too strong to drink?

Impossible, although he has an average capacity for alcohol, but how much can he get drunk?

He reluctantly wanted to stand up and exercise his muscles and bones, but found that his legs were shaking, and he finally stood up.

Then, a terrible idea suddenly flashed in his mind, and he suddenly looked at Teresa who was still sitting.

"Honey, are you okay?" Teresa asked with concern.

This question horrified the young emperor because he sensed something was wrong.

His almost instinctive calmness prevented him from questioning his wife why she did this, and he walked towards the door with heavy steps—no matter what happened, as long as he made sure he returned to the crowd, everything could be done slowly. Slow to figure it out.

Teresa still didn't get up, she just sat by the window and looked at her husband quietly, her eyes were full of love and tenderness.

Aegron's pace was slow, but he still touched the door after all. With a little effort, he pulled open the door that was as heavy as a tombstone.

However, when the light from the outside entered the room, his feet were completely limp, his whole body was staggering, and he seemed to fall to the ground.

All he felt was a pang of despair.

With his last bit of strength, he stretched out his hand to cover his chest, and then let out a desolate and weak sigh.

"Agnes, there is still you!"

Seeing his painful expression, Agnes's originally sharp eyes showed a little more pity, she quietly turned her face away, as if she didn't dare to look any longer.

However, at the same time, she took a light step forward, supported His Majesty's body that was about to fall, and then dragged him back to Teresa.

Her hands were also trembling slightly, revealing the excitement and sadness in the master's heart, but even so, she still "supported" the young emperor tightly, preventing him from moving.

Looks like it's coming to an end.

Eggron's body was terribly weakened, but his mind was still very clear, so he knew that his situation was desperate at this time, and his wife had completely won-even though he had no idea why she did it.

She seized a good opportunity, and made a fatal blow in the fastest and most precise way. When she came back to her senses, everything was a foregone conclusion.

It's ridiculous, there are hundreds of thousands of troops waiting for his dispatch at any time, but he is held hostage by two women, and he has no ability to resist.

He was inexplicably reminded of the Honnoji incident. The man who was about to unify Japan was also at the peak of his life. He was suddenly fatally shot by a trusted subordinate, and disappeared from the long river of history together with his eldest son.

And now I seem to be even more embarrassed than that guy - I don't even have a chance to set myself on fire!

Annoyance and pain made his scalp numb, and he wanted to shout for help, but his weak physical strength had already prevented him from shouting, and he could only utter a small cry, just like the wail of dying.

And the fireworks constantly going off outside the window are bringing the atmosphere to its climax, and there are so many voices everywhere that it is impossible for anyone to hear their shouts.

Teresa, is this part of the plan too?

Hey, she has calculated to this point, what else can I say, she won.Eggron was suddenly devastated.

He wanted to stand upright, to face his end with the dignity of an Emperor.

But his physical weakness made it difficult for him to even do this, and finally Agnes brought him back to the seat he had just been sitting in.

And at this time, Teresa finally got up, she sat on the seat where her husband was just now, and then gently put her husband's head on her lap,

The warm touch cheered up Aigron's weakened spirit, but he could only raise his head and stare at his wife's face.

begged her?

Impossible and unnecessary.

She asked after she had finished drinking—that is to say, no matter what answer she gave, the matter would only have one result; in other words, she knew exactly what answer she would give, so she asked Didn't hold out hope.

Couples are couples.

Since begging is useless, he doesn't want to lose face in front of Teresa——

Even at the last moment, he wanted to play his wife her favorite hero.

"Okay... Teresa... you... you won! You won beautifully..." He lamented in despair, "This country belongs to you, you can do whatever you want, the power is in your hands In your hands, you still love it more than me after all. I congratulate you, this is your skill, I am glad, anyway, you will give it to our son in the end, after all, this country is still named Bonaparte. "

His body was getting weaker and weaker,

"What I cherished was never this country, nor any power on the throne, but you... Although you broke my heart, I still love you, and I appreciate all the good things about you, even you I can find beauty in all the evil and betrayal, and sometimes I even think, what a genius His Highness is who is not restrained by the world!"

After saying this, Teresa suddenly shed tears, because she was looking down at the emperor, so these tears dripped from her face to Eggron's face—however, Eggron's consciousness at this time was already slowly Withered, he couldn't feel the coldness of the teardrops.

"Maybe you won't believe me, but I will prove it to you - I will raise François, and when he comes of age, I will put him on the throne as Napoleon III, and then I can't wait to take you away Paris, get away from all the hustle and bustle of the world, and let you enjoy the peace and company I've dreamed of giving you since I was a teenager."

Teresa's words were so sincere that Aigron didn't know how to refute her for a moment.

He even forgot about anger for a moment.

Hey, when it comes to why Teresa did what she did, he's the one in the world who knows why—or rather, he himself is the reason.

He took Teresa's word for it.

And this also means that Teresa has already planned everything.

As expected of you, my wife... He wanted to smile wryly, but the muscles on his face were already stiff, so it could only become an embarrassing expression.

The fate Teresa arranged for him is not what he wants to accept, but now that it is in the hands of others, what can we say?

He can still beg for mercy now, and even try to play emotional cards to persuade Teresa to rein in the precipice, but it would be too ridiculous to do that. Napoleon II can't act like a clown even if he goes to the end.

The nightmarish darkness made Aigron almost lose all his vision, and Aigron sighed softly, blowing away the last strength he had gathered.

"I... do love you," he said, closing his eyes.

"I know, so I hate you even more—but no amount of hatred can erase my love for you, Your Highness." Teresa hugged her husband tenderly and kept looking at his face, "Until today I Still so excited for that night, we hugged each other, twirled... twirled, brilliant lights surrounded us like stars, blessed us...God, how favored I am!"

Aigron was resting on her lap, and the posture of the two of them was as if they were telling a bedtime story, full of warmth and love, but this was a shocking coup after all.

And it has, fittingly enough, succeeded.

Agnes stood quietly by the side, watching the couple's last conversation, feeling extremely uncomfortable in her heart, but pretending to be calm on the surface.

"Is it over here?" she hissed.
