Eagle's Glory

Although His Majesty the King had no choice but to shelve the marriage proposal for the time being, he did not give up on this idea, but left it for a later discussion, but as long as he doesn't mention it now, Egron and Teresa don't care what he thinks.

Of course Teresa could hear that His Majesty's words were clearly mocking her disregarding the dignity of the royal family and forcing her parents to continue to fulfill the marriage contract. He nodded slightly, implying that he understood but didn't care about the irony at all.

Seeing that Her Royal Highness was so "disrespectful", the king had no choice but to shrug his shoulders with a wry smile.

"Duke, you have a wife who is good at making decisions." He said to Aigron with a pun, "In the future, people will doubt which decisions came from your wishes."

"You don't have to worry about this. My wife and I are one. Her thoughts are my thoughts, and her decision must come from my position." Of course Aigron knew that he must not be recruited at this time, but He must stand firmly with Teresa, so he immediately replied to the king, "For example, I planned to answer you with the same words just now, but Teresa preempted it—"

After he finished speaking, he took the initiative to hold Teresa's hand, and Teresa was also moved and leaned on his shoulder. The two of them looked at each other and smiled, showing their affection like this.

After all, the king is a king, he can afford it and let it go, he didn't become angry, but smiled and applauded.

"Hahahaha... What a touching scene! It seems that I was overthinking it!"

Then, he nodded to Aigron again, "Duke, I am very moved by the harmonious relationship between you and your wife. Your love story is beyond the imagination of our generation... You must understand. I didn't even meet my wife a few times before we got married, my father the king made the decision for me - and you, the royal family, made the decision for yourselves, which is far better than me.

Next, he changed the subject again, "However, you are still very young, love needs time to accumulate and test, and for members of the royal family like us, there are too many temptations within reach in the world , sensuality is enough to confuse people's hearts, but I hope that your love can stand the test of time——if that's the case, it would be a good story."

"Of course." Teresa replied proudly without any stage fright or hesitation, "I have chosen Your Highness, and of course I will spend my whole life loyal to my own choice."

And Aigron suddenly felt a lot guilty.

He wanted to pretend to be loyal in front of His Majesty the King—but His Majesty knew that he had met his sister in private just now...

Fortunately, His Majesty the King spared him the embarrassment, and he nodded with a smile, "Yes, I have already felt it, what a young, beautiful and cute couple! I can't help but want to help you Cheers, both of you, well... we don't need to engage in those heavy political topics, since the two have decided to recognize Otto as the throne owner of Greece, let's celebrate this grand event with a pleasant banquet!"

The king, who is naturally merry and flirtatious, naturally doesn’t want to quarrel with the young couple at this time, so it’s enough to stop at this point—for the sake of his son’s Greek throne, he still wants to maintain good relations with the two of them. Relationship.

Since His Majesty the King offered to propose, Aigron certainly followed suit and agreed to the request for the banquet.

There is still a little time before the banquet, so Aigron asked his secretary to go back to his residence and called Chanel over.

When meeting with the king just now, Egron proposed that Chanel, who grew up in Bavaria, should also enjoy a little glory. The king easily agreed, so now is the time to fulfill the promise.

When she was called over, Chanel still didn't understand what happened, and her face was ignorant.

After seeing Aigron, she finally settled down and immediately moved to Aigron's side.

"Your Majesty, do you have any orders for me to come here?" She asked respectfully.

"Chanel, coming to the beautiful Nymphenburg Palace, does it bring back memories of the past?" Aegron didn't answer directly, but asked her with a smile.

Chanel froze for a moment, then lowered her head and answered him, "Your Majesty, I did stay here for a while, but it's not a wonderful feeling to serve people other than you, and the servants are also divided into classes. Came here, clumsy, got a lot of reproach... So, I have memories, but not so pleasant."

Hearing Chanel's answer, Aigron was shocked.

Yes, no matter how beautiful the palace is, what does it have to do with the servants?She only worries about whether she has done a good job today, so as not to be scolded.

After I became the leader of an organization, I really felt less and less empathy with others.

"So that's why you've been stuck in your room since you came here? You're afraid of meeting someone you knew in the past." He asked back.

Chanel nodded slightly. "I really don't want to cause extra problems..."

Sure enough, for Chanel, her "past" here is nothing more than being summoned and reprimanded, not a memory worth cherishing. She is even more unwilling to let people who knew her in the past see herself, so as not to remind them of her past. The little girl who lives under the fence.

Aigron hugged Chanel gently, and then comforted her in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, Chanel...you are no longer the Chanel you used to be, and now you are an indispensable part of me, it is right One who shares my honor."

Originally, Aigron deliberately wanted to use his respect to let Chanel enjoy the joy of "returning home".

But now, he has more reasons.

He grabbed Chanel's hand, and under Chanel's puzzled eyes, he led her to King Ludwig.

"His Royal Highness..." Chanel blurted out the moment he saw King Ludwig, then reacted, and immediately bowed to His Majesty the King. "Your Majesty, I am honored to meet you!"

Chanel followed the married Princess Sophie to Austria in 1824, and she never returned to Bavaria since then; in 1825, Sophie's father, the late King Maximilian I, passed away.

That is to say, when Sophie was in Bavaria, King Ludwig was only the crown prince, and it is understandable for Chanel to make a mistake when she was in a confused mood.

His Majesty the King didn't care about Chanel's little mistakes, he was always extremely tolerant towards young women, and all his attention was instantly focused on Chanel's face and figure.

Although the blond girl did not wear any makeup, her pretty and dignified temperament, as well as her graceful figure wrapped in simple clothes, instantly dazzled King Ludwig.

What a beautiful little beauty!

The Merry King suddenly regretted why he hadn't discovered the budding flower buds in the court earlier, and let her go to Austria with his sister--it would be great if he discovered it earlier!

However, this is also very normal. With Chanel's status at the time, she was not qualified to show up in front of the crown prince... Even in Schönbrunn Palace, she waited anxiously for two years before taking advantage of Egron's fall from the horse and getting injured I found a chance to stay with him and take care of him.

"Are you Miss Noelle...?" After a moment of absence, His Majesty the King asked softly. "I used to serve in the court of our country, and then followed Sophie to Austria?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chanel quickly replied, "I was once favored by Prince Eugene and found a job in your court to make ends meet. I will always keep this kindness in my heart...your country and your The court is where I grew up and my heart is filled with the fondest memories."

The king took the courtesies seriously—and deplored them all the more.

"I have heard about your legendary experience from the Duke, and I deeply admire your courage and loyalty." He looked at Chanel's face, and then said word by word, "The Duke hopes that I will give you what you deserve. Rong Dian, I readily agree..."

"Thank you, Your Majesty! But I think my talents are weak, I'm afraid I'm not worthy..." Chanel thanked His Majesty the King, but she looked at the smiling young man next to her. Needless to say, her gratitude was all to her lord .

"How can you not be worthy? Your appearance and character, as well as your unwavering belief, are beyond ordinary people and are worthy of being remembered by the world." While complimenting habitually, the king gently raised Chanel's right hand and kissed She rubbed the back of her hand, "Bavaria has raised you, and is willing to welcome you back with the most magnanimous and generous gesture..."

Although it was a great fortune for ordinary maids to be treated so courteously by the king, Chanel felt very uncomfortable and even turned pale.

Aigron walked between the two of them calmly, and then protected Chanel behind him. "Your Majesty, you are so generous, I thank you for Chanel."

Chanel leaned behind Aigron, and her heart suddenly relaxed. She put her right hand behind her back in disgust, and wiped the back of her hand on her skirt.

The king sighed helplessly—judging from Aigron's performance, this "maid" was not just a maid.

This little guy definitely had an affair with this little maid—or rather, it would be strange if he didn't eat the meat that was in his mouth.

Hey, it's cheap for that kid...

Just now, she was still showing her affection in front of me, but in the end... Huh, everyone is really the same.

That proud Princess Teresa may be sad in the future.

But how many princes and grandsons are not like this these days?The same is true for the king himself. Thinking of Teresa's attitude towards her just now, the slight sympathy from His Majesty the King immediately dissipated.

"You are a person who is good at enjoying life, which is very suitable for us Bavarians." He cleared up his mood, and then smiled and winked at Aigron. "I really hit it off with you, hahahaha...!"　　

27. Homecoming

"I really hit it off with you, hahahaha...!"

His Majesty's compliment was very meaningful, but Aigron didn't feel honored at all when he heard it.

So he just smiled lightly, "Yeah, we all shoulder the expectations of many people, and we have to take responsibility and do everything we can to carry forward our family—maybe this sense of responsibility is what we have in common."

Although he was trying to dodge on purpose, His Majesty the King took it very seriously - although he likes to be romantic, he must also fulfill the responsibility of the king. If it wasn't for the sake of making his family proud, why would he invite the Duke and Duchess as distinguished guests? How about coming here by yourself?

Now that Aigron has made it clear that he regards Miss Chanel as a confinement, His Majesty the King will stop pestering Chanel in due course.

After all, he is also a seasoned veteran. When he first saw the youthful, beautiful and charming Chanel just now, his heart was touched. In addition, he regretted that he had let such a beauty in his own court, so he was slightly excited. It's a bit more polite, but since the Duke didn't mean to give in, he didn't care.

His expression became serious again.

"Duke, it's your luck that Miss Noelle is so loyal to you. I think she should also be deeply moved by your deep friendship to her."

After speaking, he winked at Aigron.

Of course Aigron understood what the king meant—because the king was a little abrupt with Chanel just now, and he was afraid that Chanel would not agree to his request, so he wanted Aigron to bring it up.

So he smiled and spoke to Chanel.

"Chanel, His Majesty the King has a very special preference. He wants to leave portraits of visiting beauties in Nymphenburg Palace, and after seeing you, he thinks you are quite suitable, so I hope you can waste a little Time leaves a portrait here... What do you think?"

Chanel froze for a moment, but didn't turn the corner all of a sudden.

After a while, she finally understood what was going on, and immediately blushed, "Your Majesty, how can I be worthy...All the people who can be portrayed are beauties, and I am just your maid..."

"What's not worthy?" Aegron interrupted her disapprovingly, "Beauty is something that others can tell with their own eyes, and it has nothing to do with class. What conflict does it have between you being a maid and being a beauty? , you are not inferior to anyone, for me you are my important assistant, even a relative."

Then, Aigron glanced at King Ludwig I, and whispered a joke to Chanel, "Look, His Majesty the King just saw you so out of his mind, this is the best certification of your appearance Now, as the master here, if even he thinks you are worthy, then who can make irresponsible remarks?"

Being ridiculed by Aigron, Chanel's face turned even redder. This was not only shyness, but also the excitement of being praised by the lord himself.

"Since you said so, then I will obey your order. I will try my best to cooperate with the artist and try to leave a painting that catches the eye." Chanel leaned close to Egron's ear, and whispered, "However, It's not that I want to boast about myself, nor is it to please His Majesty the King, it's just to make you happy."

"Well, I know." Aigron patted Chanel's cheek lightly, "Thank you, Chanel."

Then, Aigron turned his head to look at King Ludwig, and then nodded slightly, indicating that he was done, and he convinced Chanel.

On the one hand, King Ludwig was happy, but on the other hand, he also secretly regretted that the pearl he cultivated at home fell into the hands of others—he didn't know the inside story, so of course it was impossible to know that this stubborn girl was from the very beginning. Pinning her hopes in life on the successor of the Bonaparte family, she only felt that if she had discovered this "pearl" that no one cared about in the court a few years ago, she would be shining brightly on her side now.

But the matter has come to an end, it is useless to talk more, and the king is not interested in being a villain who attracts people's favor, so he suppresses this little regret and turns his attention back to the young man.

"That's great. I'll instruct the painter to use the same energy to leave a portrait for Miss Noelle, and ask her to cooperate a little bit." Then, he made another gesture, "That's for tomorrow. Alright, let’s have a good celebration today! Please rest for a while, and the banquet will start later.”

Then, he nodded to Eggron, and turned to leave.

Aigron took Chanel and left the room, and came to the long corridor. Looking at the familiar scenery around, perhaps because of the many memories brought back, Chanel's eyes became a little blurred.

She left here with Sophie at the end of 1824, and it has only been three and a half years now. Of course, such a short time will not wear out her memory. She is very familiar with everything here.

However, compared to the little girl who was wandering and cautious, who was deeply enmity and didn't know where to go in the future, after more than three years of ups and downs, her mentality was completely different. It can be described as appropriate.

"What are you thinking, Chanel?" Aegron saw that Chanel's expression was not normal, so he asked in a low voice.

"It's nothing, Your Majesty." Chanel came to her senses, and immediately shook her head, "I'm just sighing, I've only left here for such a short time, and my life has already undergone earth-shaking changes... Before I left, I saw the current I'm afraid I won't recognize that it's me."

"People will always grow, and change themselves little by little through their own choices, until one day they will find that they are completely different from the past, either displaying their talents, or degrading to the point where even they can't believe it." Aigron comforted She, "At least for you, these changes are positive."

"It's more than positive, it's my dream!" Chanel replied with a little excitement, "I realized my wish, even better than my dream... I came to your side, take care of you and do my best for you. My career has been through fire and water, and my loyalty to you is as natural as my father's death for the late emperor. I have found the anchor of my life with you, and I no longer need to have any doubts and confusions."

"I didn't expect you to be so talented." Aigron replied with a smile.

"If I stay with you, I will always learn something~" Chanel replied softly, "Don't forget how many verses I have hand-copied for you."

"That's right, it seems that I am a good teacher." Aigron couldn't help but laugh.

The two walked while talking, but Chanel was leading the way.

Deliberately wanting to spend more time with His Majesty, Chanel took Egron to wander beside the bronze statue on the grass, and when they passed by, the gardener and servants cast surprised glances at Chanel from time to time— —It seems that someone has recognized Chanel.

At this time, Chanel just followed Aigron, smiling shyly, and didn't say hello to anyone, as if she was just a new visitor.

She really doesn't belong here now—or rather, she never belonged here.

For her, it is best to keep this desperate time in the corner of her memory forever.

Aigron looked at Chanel's smile and suddenly found himself full of love and compassion for her.

"Chanel, I'm sorry." Aegron reached out and stroked the bronze statue in front of him, then whispered.

"Is there anything you need to apologize to me?" Chanel was a little surprised.

"Compared to what you have paid, what I can give you now is still too little... But we will have everything, and then everyone will forget your downfall, just like they forgot my past downfall."

"Please don't say that! You...you have given me enough." Chanel sullenly replied, "You have given me the honor of being by your side forever, and you don't care about me." My ability is limited, trusting me and reusing me is enough. If there is any pursuit, maybe I still have a little greed..."

"What? Just say it." Aigron asked immediately.

"I... I haven't been favored by you for a long, long time..." Although Chanel tried her best to look calm, Chanel still unconsciously carried a little resentment, "If I have any regrets, that's all I have. gone."

After saying this, Chanel inevitably blushed, but she just lowered her head and dared not speak, while Egron's face suddenly became embarrassed.

Since the official marriage, Aigron can only spend sex with Teresa, which is helpless-after all, the two are newlyweds, and they want to stick together all day long, and there is also a grandma who "hugs her great-grandson early" He had no choice but to devote himself wholeheartedly to Teresa's side.

That is to say, during the past few months, Chanel could only stand quietly and watch himself and Teresa enjoy the love, and he could only bear it.

——Although she knew it was necessary and should be, if she didn't feel a little sour in her heart, it would be impossible.

Seeing her shy and expectant look, Aigron couldn't help feeling a little flustered.

"Chanel, I praise you for nothing. You are such a bad maid. You actually seduced your master and betrayed your wife who has always taken good care of you." He said with a smile.

Although this is literally scolding, but Chanel has been with Aigron for so long, of course she could hear that the master was just joking, so she blushed and replied, "I am a servant of you and the princess, you are just using It’s just my own artifact, how can it be called a betrayal..."

This kind of nonsense may sound ridiculous, but in many upper-class families in this era, it is common for maids and governesses to provide special services to their masters, and it is even commonplace for ordinary people.

"Besides, you are His Majesty...what His Majesty does is reasonable! Who can restrain you with any rules?" Seeing that Aigron was still laughing, Chanel was a little anxious, and hurriedly continued, "You know, That's all I have to ask for... Besides, Her Royal Highness actually knows what happened to us before, but as long as we don't intentionally provoke her, she won't care!"

"Okay, okay, stop talking, Chanel." Aegron reached out and stroked her cheek. "I know, and I'd love to—but we'll have to wait."

"Well..." Chanel nodded with a blushing face, and then acted coquettishly to the young man in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the flowers that even a king would be dazzled by will always bloom only for you. Don't waste the flowers blooming The most splendid time in the end, when the flowering period is over and the flowers wither, that would be... a pity."

"Hahahaha..." Aigron couldn't help but laughed out loud. "Don't worry, we are still young and we have a lot of time."

After the teasing was over, it was almost time for the banquet, and the two returned to the palace together. At this time, Teresa finally found her husband.

"Aigron, why are you here at this time?" She walked to her husband's side and complained in a low voice.

Seeing Teresa appearing, Chanel also moved aside knowingly, making way for the mistress.

"It's nothing, I just visited the surroundings accompanied by Chanel." Aigron replied calmly, "She has stayed here for a long time, so I feel quite touched after returning here."
