Eagle's Glory

Well, he has already figured out what happened before, so what about after that?

Should the story end there?

He doesn't want to.

On the contrary, he feels that since a seed has been planted in Maria's heart, it is not impossible for the seed to germinate and blossom later.

"Compared to the pain you caused her, what is my slander here?" Just as Aigron was thinking, Maria retorted, "Now you are proud of yourself, but she can only Enjoying the bitter rain in Vienna."

"I will find a way to change all of this. Since the disaster is caused by me, I am also obliged to calm it down." Egron replied solemnly, "Princess Maria, are you willing to believe in my determination? If you do, Would you like to help me?"

This scorching sight made Maria subconsciously avoid it, but something in her heart seemed to be touched.

"What... what are you going to do?" she asked subconsciously.

"It depends on what you plan to do." Aegron replied.

"What are your plans?" Princess Maria was puzzled.

"Are you going to stand idly by Her Highness Sophie's current pain and just enjoy the joy of standing on the shore and mocking me; or are you going to give her a hand so that she can get a little respite from the dire straits? So that she can relieve the pain of her soul?" Iger Long stood up, and then continued to look at each other aggressively, "I don't think you would choose the former, right? You are twin sisters who grew up together, sharing and cherishing each other's preferences and interests, and even have the same mind. Pray for each other's fate, when she is in trouble, are you really willing to just watch like this?"

Aegron's implicit accusation made Maria frowned tightly.

"Of course I don't want to watch, but what can I do! That's the Emperor of Habsburg! What can I change about his decision?"

"Yes, you can't do anything now, but it doesn't mean you won't be able to do it in the future." Aigron nodded, and then replied with enthusiasm, "As long as you cooperate with me, there will be some way after all, although what I have now The resources are still limited, not enough for the Habsburg Emperor to make concessions for me, but I believe that one day I can do it... Do you believe that I can perform miracles?"

Facing the proud and scorching gaze of the young man, Princess Maria was a little lost.

If other kings and grandsons said such things, it would only make people feel ridiculous, but when he said it, there was an inexplicable appeal and persuasiveness-after all, he had already proved himself with practical actions.

If that's the case, you can believe it.

"Then... what can I do?" She asked tremblingly.

Seeing her being moved by what he said, Aigron couldn't help laughing in his heart.

okay.

Although he didn't immediately make Princess Maria forget what he had done, he created an opportunity—an opportunity for the two to continue to bond.

"First of all, can you please contact His Highness Sophie for me?" He made another request that seemed a little familiar, "I can't contact her directly, but no one will allow her to read my sister's letters."

He deliberately concealed the fact that he had written a letter to Sophie through his mother, so as to highlight his desire and make her feel "obliged."

Sure enough, Maria nodded and agreed with him after a little consideration. "Well, this favor can help, but it's hard for me to prepare in a hurry now. It's time for today after delaying for so long..."

"Then if I still want to see you, where should I go?" He asked forcefully.

Maria looked up suddenly.

Then, she suddenly picked up the folding fan to cover her face, and giggled.

"Yeah! You can do it! All of a sudden I see why you've made it."

Aigron was a little embarrassed, but he still looked at the other party with firm eyes.

"Okay." Maria nodded, "You must be visiting my eldest sister—the widow of Prince Eugene, right?"

"Naturally." Eggron nodded.

"Then let's meet at her place next time." Princess Maria seemed to have made a decision, and her tone became lighter, and she was no longer upset as before. "You can decide the specific time yourself, anyway, I must have known it before you got there."

Aigron's mood also became very good.

He got the chance to meet Princess Maria next time.

Moreover, no matter how he and the other party develop in the future, at least he has got a future helper, and she doesn't look like she will stand idly by for Sophie.

Today's unexpected joy made him very excited, but it was obvious that time had come to an end.

"Then come here today."

Princess Maria stood up again, then bowed her knees to bid farewell to Aigron, and Aigron also quickly saluted her.

Before leaving, Maria took another deep look at the young man, with slightly complicated eyes.

"Prince Reichstedt, you are a smart person and can guess many things, but I don't want you to speak so harshly in the future. After all, some things are past..."

Of course Aigron knew what she meant—no one likes someone who says to themselves "You were almost my wife" all the time.

"Okay, don't worry, I'm just talking nonsense today because I'm excited, please don't take it to heart and forget my offense..." Aigron quickly smiled and spread his hands, "His Royal Highness, I look forward to meeting with you." Your next meeting."

Next, Egron seemed to suddenly think of something.

"By the way, when you wrote the letter, could you mention Kristel—?"

"What Crystal?" Maria frowned, then asked back.

Aigron was deliberately probing.

He wanted to find out how deep Sophie had communicated with her.

It seems that Sophie didn't tell Maria about this—but it's not surprising, Sophie didn't know she was pregnant until she escaped, and after she escaped, her external letters would definitely be strictly controlled, so she didn't Chance informed his twin sister of this incident.

Besides, based on what he knew about Sophie, even if she had the chance, she probably wouldn't tell Maria.

This is also just right, if Maria knows that she is not only sorry for Sophie, but also for her illegitimate daughter, God knows what she will think.

"A person who helped us." Of course, he would not tell Maria the truth, but chose to be vague.

"Let's talk later."

Princess Maria became serious again, she closed her folding fan, and then turned away, disappearing between the fountain and the flowerbed.

Aegron looked at her disappearing back in disappointment, and then sighed.

Seeing this woman exactly like Sophie, his heart was easily moved.

But in any case, he still retains basic sense, knowing where he is now and what else to do.

And where he couldn't see, Princess Maria also came to a corner of the garden.

Her expression changed from the dark cloud before, but she was obviously relieved, and her steps became lighter.

"Your Highness, what's the matter...?" A maid asked her tremblingly.

This maid was arranged by Maria to watch the wind here just now, and apparently performed the same task as Andre Davout and others.

"Hmph." Maria shrugged angrily, "This little guy is such a jerk!"

Then she changed the topic again, "But it's also as expected."

The maid didn't dare to agree, she just nodded lightly, ""

"Then have you made an appointment with him next?" She asked again.

Maria nodded, and then replied slightly mockingly, "We made an appointment to help my sister."

"His Royal Highness Sophie is indeed very difficult..." The maid nodded sympathetically.

"Who sympathizes with her! She was afraid that I would snatch her beloved little lover, and wanted to enjoy a few more days while there was still time, so she procrastinated, and kept procrastinating. Like a terminally ill patient with no tomorrow!" At this point, Maria's tone became harsh again, showing no respect for her sister at all.

"Because of her selfishness and greed, we all suffered enough in the end! She is so stupid!" Maria became more and more annoyed as she spoke, she exerted a little force on her fingers, and the folding fan kept half-opening, and immediately closed again, making a crisp sound "Hmph, I wish she would continue to suffer more in Vienna! Let her repent of the punishment she incurred for being stupid..."　　

24. Protector

After watching Princess Maria leave, Aigron reluctantly followed the road he had chased, and returned the same way.

At this time, his secretary Leon, captain of the guard Andre Davout and others remained in place.

When seeing his figure reappear in the field of vision, these people were obviously relieved.

"Your Majesty!" Leon and Andre immediately greeted the young man, "Are you... all right?"

Aigron could see that while he was relieved, there were some surprises and doubts in the eyes of these people.

Indeed, their actions just now were somewhat unexpected, and it is normal for them to feel horrified.

"I'm fine, it's better to say that I feel good." Eggron replied with a smile.

Leon and Andre looked at each other, and then Andre boldly asked him again, "Is the lady just now someone you knew before? What exactly is she... What is her identity?"

Aigron didn't change his smile, and then gave an answer that made them confused. "Yes, and no. In short, don't ask any more questions, she won't cause us any trouble."

Aigron knew that they were still full of doubts, but as the lord, he didn't need to explain so much to others, he just needed to give them orders to carry out.

Sure enough, seeing Aigron's attitude, everyone didn't dare to ask any more questions. They just secretly rejoiced in their hearts that no one came over just now, and it didn't cause unreasonable chaos—of course, they couldn't possibly know, Someone has already arranged everything, and the chaos they fear will never happen.

In the silence of everyone, Aigron took out his pocket watch and checked the time.

Although he didn't feel the passage of time when he was face to face with Princess Maria, more than an hour had passed by now.

Fortunately, such a small amount of time wasted is not enough to arouse others' suspicion - after all, it is normal to visit the palace as a guest.

"Okay, let's go back—" After putting away the pocket watch, he gave the order smoothly.

Then he added in a low voice, "You must remember what I just told you."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Leon and Andre replied in unison, of course they knew what Aigron was referring to.

So, the group of them returned to the palace again, and at this time, Teresa's affairs were almost coming to an end—the court painter had completed the conception of the painting with her, and the next step was the painting stage, that is to say Teresa no longer needs to spend energy and attention, and the rest is the painter's own work.

Because of this, Teresa was in a very happy mood, and when she saw her husband appearing in front of her, she immediately smiled like a flower.

"Aigron!" She walked up to the young man with cheerful steps, "You came just in time, we just finished our work here... Hey, I'm exhausted."

"Hey, it's really hard work for you, Teresa~" Aigron kissed her cheek, "But I think such hard work is worth it, after all, your beautiful face will be permanently remembered here, decorating this beautiful place. court."

"It's not that exaggerated, I just hope that compared to other portraits, I won't be left behind too much~" Teresa replied with a smile on her face, "Besides, can't you also keep a painting as a treasure? I I just discussed with the painter, and he will add some emblems of the Bonaparte family to the painting given to you."

"That's great! This will be the best gift I can get in Bavaria..." Aigron also laughed out loud. "I'm a little grateful to His Majesty the King. If he hadn't ignored etiquette and made a sudden proposal, I wouldn't have had the chance to get such an unexpected surprise!"

In front of his wife, he responded freely and calmly, without showing any abnormalities. Just looking at this situation, who would have imagined that he was still talking and laughing with another woman just half an hour ago?

Teresa, of course, was completely unaware that she was overjoyed at the moment, and she was completely absorbed in the joy of married life.

After the couple had an intimate exchange, they returned to their residence to rest together, with endless affection and affection.

Although it seems that the turmoil just now has been sealed in the past, Aigron knows in his heart that the next meeting between him and Princess Maria will not take too long, and he is secretly looking forward to it.

On the second day, King Ludwig I invited the young couple to his presence again.

Seeing the two of them, the king smiled extremely friendly.

"I was worried that you two weren't having enough fun in our quiet and dreary country, but now it seems that you two are having a good time, which makes me so relieved."

"Your Majesty, we are very grateful for your warm hospitality." Aigron replied quickly, "You don't have to worry about our opinions at all, we are very happy."

"The respect we receive from you, we will always remember it in our hearts—" Teresa also spoke in a timely manner, "Your Majesty, you are the first king to entertain us with such courtesy, I am very moved, I sincerely May your country prosper, and if one day we have the opportunity to repay your kindness, we will do so."

What the couple said made the king burst into laughter again. "Of course! Others may still have a little prejudice against the Bonaparte family, but please believe that our family absolutely does not have it—on the contrary, we are full of goodwill."

Although this was an obvious polite remark, Egron felt in a daze that His Majesty the King looked at him with a slightly more playful look.

Obviously, the king was secretly teasing himself.

He was slightly embarrassed, but on the surface he pretended to be normal.

He doesn't know how much the king knows about himself and Sophie, it depends on how much Princess Maria reveals the truth to the prince-but anyway, judging from His Majesty's performance, he doesn't care about all this, There is no intention of obstructing it.

He was happy to be a king, and left countless affairs, so he didn't care about the affairs of a young man.

Seeing that the king was in a good mood, Aigron also made his request at the right time.

"Your Majesty, I am flattered by your hospitality, but I still have a small wish, I don't know if I can ask you to fulfill it."

"Please go ahead, Duke." His Majesty the King nodded immediately. "With us you have as much freedom as you want."

"I have always been full of respect for my righteous brother Eugene. Although he unfortunately died young, his character and willpower are still a role model for me and my subordinates even now—" Aigron calmly He put forward his request confidently, "As a brother-in-law, I request to visit his widow, your sister Princess Auguste, and her family members. Can you grant it?"

This request was completely reasonable, so His Majesty the King immediately nodded and agreed without any hesitation.

"Why do you ask me this matter? My lord, I am a Catholic. If I do not allow you to see the bereaved family of my brother-in-law, wouldn't that be contrary to the mercy taught by God? Although you can decide when Go, just tell my courtiers when the time comes, and they will arrange it for you."

"That's really great." Aigron added another sentence, "Speaking of which, there is a maid on my side named Chanel Noel. She was originally an orphan of a soldier of the empire, and later defected to Prince Eugene There, after his arrangement, she served the Bavarian royal family. Later, as a dowry, she followed His Royal Highness Sophie to Schönbrunn Palace... and then came to me. She is also full of gratitude to Bavaria, especially to Prince Eugene's family Feelings."

"Oh! Is there still such a thing?" The king sounded very interested. "This little girl's experience is really legendary."

"It's quite legendary." Eggron smiled, and then continued, "She served me well, she was loyal and adventurous, and helped me a lot, so... Teresa and I are not only We only regard her as a simple maid, we trust her, and even treat her as half of our family. By the way, in order to commend her contribution, I also made her a member of my Knights—if there is One day if I can get my wish, I will give her a higher title."

"Haha... It seems that she is really loved by you!" His Majesty the King became more and more curious when he heard it. "I want to see her a little bit. Isn't she pretty?"

As expected of the Merry King, this question hits the nail on the head, and it made Aegron a little embarrassed all of a sudden.

"She does look good, but that's not the reason why we love her so much, we are more grateful for her loyalty." Aigron reluctantly defended himself, "Your Majesty, I'm not just telling you this Just to tell a story, I have an unfeeling request - Chanel grew up in Bavaria, there must be many people who know her here, and she must have humbled many people, this is not a pleasant memory... Besides, when we visit Prince Eugene's family, if Chanel can receive a higher courtesy, then it will be more comforting to the spirit of my brother-in-law."

The king opened his eyes slightly, surprised.
