Eagle's Glory

So he nodded slightly.

Maria smiled slightly as if she had received some comfort, and she spoke again with a little expectation, "Let's get back to the topic—we were talking about the Duke's poems just now, and to be honest, I was quite nervous before. Heartbroken, I still keep it until now. Although I guess the Duke must be busy with too many affairs and have no time to spare energy to create according to the situation, but if he can create again in the future, can you share it with me? I originally I don’t care so much about ordinary poets, but poets pretending to the throne are completely different, and maybe they can become historical collections—”

Speaking of this, she laughed again, "Of course, if you can really step up to the throne in the future, then I will be even more honored for my treasure."

She really wasn't going to expose me... Aegron felt relieved.

He suddenly thought that since Maria did this, it was obviously to leave room for the future relationship between the two of them.

That is to say...

"Is this request too much?" When he was silent, Maria asked softly while looking at Egron.

"No, it's not too much, Your Highness." Aigron finally broke his long silence, and then gave an affirmative answer, "Okay, since you are Her Highness Sophie's biological sister, and considering your help If you do me a favor, then I would be happy to perform for you—it’s a pity that I haven’t been in the mood to create for a long time now, so I can only try it later, and I hope you won’t laugh at me then.”

"If the level is really too bad or if you don't care at all, I will indeed laugh at it—" Maria replied with a smile, "but don't worry, I can understand your situation, and the standards will not be too strict."

Then, as if she thought of something, "I still have the creations of King Louis XVIII here. These are the poems he wrote in exile. I hope you are not worse than him."

The first king of the Bourbon Restoration Dynasty, Louis XVIII, the younger brother of the decapitated King Louis XVI, the Earl of Provence, was also a monarch who liked to write poetry very much. He often sang with his courtiers in exile during his exile. Even if he returned to the country with a foreign bayonet and ascended the long-coveted throne, he did not change this hobby.

Although he knew that Maria was deliberately playing the aggressive method, Aigron was still irritated when he heard it.

From his standpoint, he couldn't help but be angry—because the Bonaparte family is now a deadly enemy with the Bourbon family, how could he consider himself worse than the Bourbon king?

"Forgive me, comparing me with him really makes me angry." Aigron sneered, "This guy has never laid down a single piece of territory for France, nor has he won the battle with my father to regain the country by himself, from the beginning to the end. He is just a spectator, who won the throne by relying on the pity of foreigners... He was a dandy before the Great Revolution, and he was just a sinister useless person after the Great Revolution. He is Bourbon orthodox in name, but in my opinion It’s nothing more than a false king—he is completely incomparable to me, whether it’s governing or writing poetry, I can assure you!”

"Well, as expected of you, you are really kind." Princess Maria nodded with a smile, "In that case, I can rest assured, and I am full of expectations."

After she finished speaking, she made a tick gesture with her thumb and index finger to show her encouragement.

Teresa, who had always been acrimonious since she appeared in front of her, was witty and funny in this conversation, almost like a different person.

Teresa saw her husband having a good conversation with Princess Maria. Although she was upset, she couldn't say anything more - after all, this topic was too normal, and she had no position to disturb it.

However, she felt uncomfortable at the thought of what connection she might have with this annoying person in the future.

She is not a narrow-minded person, but she will also not tolerate others deliberately humiliating herself-so she will never forget Maria's sarcasm just now, nor will she forgive her.

Just because she was not angry, she didn't say a word, just ate in silence.

Fortunately, everything was calm and there was no further disturbance. This dinner, which was not happy for both guests and hosts, finally came to an end.

As a landowner, Princess Augusta naturally retained several guests. Aigron and Teresa both agreed, but Maria declined. She said that she came to visit her sister out of sheer interest, and now her interest has been exhausted, so It's time to go back.

Of course, Mrs. Augusta had nothing to do about her sister's maverick behavior. In fact, she still hoped that Maria would stop soon, so she pretended to be reluctant to part with her sister.

In this way, this unexpected storm ended quietly, but its seeds did not disappear. No one thought that it would quietly hide in the shadows, take root and germinate, and eventually turn into a stormy sea.　　

36. Fruit

After Princess Maria left, both the host Augusta and the guest Teresa secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They returned to the previous state of chatting and laughing, and tacitly avoided the topics just now. Waste your tongue on irrelevant anecdotes.

When it was late at night, Teresa felt that she could interrupt the conversation according to the etiquette, so she pretended to be extremely tired and proposed to take a rest.

And Princess Augusta was also waiting for the guests to do this, so she said good night immediately, and asked the servant to bring the Aigrons to the bedroom that had been arranged.

After closing the door, Teresa's original smile disappeared immediately, her face was tense and she didn't know what she was thinking.

And Aigron also knew that his wife was in a bad mood at the moment, so he didn't want to get into trouble, so he silently cleaned up and washed, ready to go to bed.

However, he couldn't escape after all.

"Your Highness—" Teresa stopped him just after he changed into his pajamas, "My conjecture just now has come true. Princess Maria obviously had a crush on you before, and maybe even Her Royal Highness Sophie wanted to match you up How do you feel after knowing this?"

Aegron shrugged, but did not answer.

"Do you feel happy?" Teresa asked persistently.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Aigron could only reply, "Teresa, you can't blame me for a mistake I didn't make. I didn't know anything about it until I came to Bavaria. So what can I do? What responsibility can I take? I don't think I need to apologize or explain!

As for you asking me how I feel - I don't feel much, since we are married and I have vowed at the wedding that my wife will always be you and only you, it is as simple as that. "

Teresa fell silent for a while after being answered by Aigron.

She has always been reserved, and especially doesn't like to lose her temper and vent her anger on others. Although she is very upset now, she really can't do it if she insists on losing her temper at her husband unreasonably. She knows that what her husband said is right.

She was silent for a moment, and then sighed, "Actually, I didn't blame you, I just think that Her Highness Sophie really controls you too much..."

Those past events that she herself wished to forget were still lingering around her like ghosts, which was really helpless.

The most uncomfortable thing for her was—she knew in her heart that if Luisa hadn't proposed the marriage at that time, and then His Majesty the Emperor had indicated the marriage, maybe Sophie's wish would have come true, because His Highness obviously would not reject Sophie request.

If that's the case, she wouldn't even have the chance to meet His Highness.

God bless, fortunately, everything happened according to her own wishes... Because of this, Teresa firmly believed that she and His Highness were a match made in heaven, a combination determined by fate, no matter how many people tried to challenge them, they would never succeed.

Until now, she still didn't know the truth about the entanglement between Aegron and Agnes. In her opinion, it was the most normal thing for those women to be fascinated by His Highness—because she herself was fascinated?

So she felt a little unspeakable pride, but also felt redoubled annoyance.

Of course, the perception of those people is still slightly different - if she still has some admiration for Agnes, then she only has disgust for this Princess Maria.

When this woman met her, she hid her knife in her smile from the very beginning, ridiculed herself mercilessly, and even exposed her most unbearable scars in person, how mean and hateful!Teresa is still furious when she thinks about it now.

She secretly swore that it would be fine if Maria hid far away wisely in the future. If she still dared to cause trouble, she must make her suffer a painful price, and let her confess the offense she had done to herself today while crying bitterly.

Of course, she buried all these thoughts in her heart and did not express them.

On the surface, she seemed to have calmed down. She breathed a sigh of relief, then washed up and changed into her pajamas, and then the couple lay side by side on the back of the bed.

Because now the two are guests at someone else's house, and they had a quarrel with someone just now, so they are not in the mood to "go further", but just leaning together like this, enjoying the tenderness before going to bed.

Ordinary people can be married for a night and a hundred days of love, not to mention the two of them are a couple who have gone through turmoil and supported each other from adversity. In the moment of tenderness, the anger that they had accumulated today gradually disappeared.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry... I lost my composure." Teresa smiled and looked at her husband, "Okay, everything is over now, we don't have to worry about irrelevant people, just let her get angry go~"

Then, she kissed her husband on the cheek, in a coquettish way to resolve the quarrel just now.

Of course Aigron was happy to cooperate with her, so he held her in his arms. "It's not your fault, Teresa, you've acted generously enough, I was secretly cheering for you just now."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and kissed his wife, and the two of them tacitly put the incident behind them in the center of tenderness.

After kissing for a while, Teresa blushed slightly, then narrowed her eyes.

"Your Highness, there is one thing I don't know if you have noticed."

For a moment, Eggron thought Teresa was still angry, but looking at her comfortable face at the moment, it didn't seem like it.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else?" He asked carefully.

"You really didn't notice..." Teresa gave him a blank look, but she wasn't really angry. She said the answer herself, "It seems like I haven't been here for a long time..."

For a moment, Aigron still didn't catch Teresa's train of thought, and he almost blurted out what didn't come.

However, he finally reacted.

Then he opened his mouth slightly and looked at Teresa with a strange expression.

"Why are you acting like this!?"

Teresa didn't expect her husband to behave like this at all, so she complained softly.

Then, she explained in a low voice, "I was always on time, but I haven't been here since last month. I was afraid that I guessed wrong, so I didn't say it, but now it seems that it should be almost true." .”

"I'm sorry... Teresa." Aigron coughed lightly as if he was choking to calm himself down, "I'm just too surprised, and not only surprised, but also a feeling of unreality, I really didn't think of it, no, actually I thought of it but I still can't get used to it... Hey, what the hell am I talking about?"

"Okay, stop talking incoherently, I understand what you mean." Theresa whitened him again, and then stretched out her hand to cover his mouth, so as not to spoil her mood with her husband's continuous nonsense, "I actually have a A little bit of the feeling you describe... Am I really going to become a mother? It always feels a little unreal."

Then, with a smile on her face, she gently stroked her belly, which was actually not abnormal, "However, there is nothing surprising, we have been like this...for several months, and the naughty little guy is a little bit It's late."

Aegron listened quietly, not knowing what to say for a while.

"Teresa, may we be parents soon?" After a long while, Aigron sorted out his thoughts and asked.

He asked knowingly, but just wanted to hear a definite answer.

"Yeah, Eggron, God forbid, we might actually be parents!" Teresa replied cheerfully, lying in her husband's arms.

Although they have been married for half a year, they are only 17 years old now. Even though their childhood experience and education have made their personalities restrained and reserved, they still have the air of a young girl after all.

Subconsciously, they have still more or less got rid of their identities as children—not to mention, at their current age, they can still be considered minors in the 21st century.

Therefore, even if they knew in their hearts that "if this continues, there will be children", they still find it hard to believe this fact.

However, no matter how young they are, the obligations they bear are still equally heavy.

Ever since he left Greece, Egron has seen every elder telling him to spread branches and leaves for the family and to continue the direct line of the Bonaparte family forever.

And both he and Teresa understood their obligation to let their lineage forever be the orthodox descendants of Emperor Napoleon to control everything in the family and the throne of the empire—this is what he deserved.

After he got married, he and his wife were like glue, not only enjoying the fun of cloud and rain, but also fulfilling this sacred mission.

Now, the hard work has finally yielded "great fruits", and Aigron feels very relieved.

He lowered his head and looked at his smiling wife, feeling grateful again.

Teresa has followed her unswervingly, and now she will become the mother of her child again. Isn't this an arrangement of fate?

That’s right, only the children born between the two of us are eligible to inherit everything from me—and I have to redouble my efforts to build a family business so that I can leave more things for future children.

Yes, children, because he and Teresa will definitely not have one child in the future-his grandmother, everyone around them, even Teresa herself, expect them to have more children, so that only one child is left. His only seedling's lineage can be passed down vigorously.

he will do it.

"I'll write to my grandmother after it's confirmed, and she will surely smile with joy." Aigron hugged his wife tightly, and then said with a smile, "Well... not only my grandmother, but your father Mothers should also receive a letter of good news, and they will bless us and our children too."

"Yeah!" Teresa just smiled and nodded.

"Everyone says that after having a child, the wife's attention will turn to the child." Aigron joked, "Teresa, my dear, you will not ignore me because of the child, will you? If If that's the case, I'd be sad."

"Of course I won't, Your Highness." Teresa buried her head in her husband's arms, and then said in a muffled voice, "Yes, I have always wanted to be a mother and form a big family that is as happy as my parents." Family. But... for me, being a wife to someone I love is more important than being a mother - I would love our kids very, very much, but that's because they are my kids and yours , they follow our love, are born because of our love, and witness our happiness, but in my heart... the most important thing is always you. You don't have to believe it, but time will prove everything."

Aigron did not expect that his joke would attract such a passionate confession, and the emotions contained in it made Aigron recall for a moment the affectionate confessions made by Teresa when they were on Monte Cristo Island.

The past is vivid in my mind, and the girl's expression and language are as fierce and focused as at that time.He suddenly recalled everything, even her tone of voice and manner at that time.

"Sea God, I swear to you... I will always be by his side. We will share everything we have, whether it is glorious or filthy... Please bear witness that no matter what happens, we will always be together."

Every girl would say a lot of similar love words during the period of passionate love, but she took it seriously more than anyone else, and really practiced it with all her enthusiasm, regardless of everything.

In comparison, I... Hey, I'm really ashamed.

Even if he was always as fickle as him, he couldn't stand it now.

"Thank you, Teresa." Eggron hissed, almost crying, "I'm sorry for your many things."

"That's natural." Teresa smiled softly, "But what can I do? I can't bear to blame you, who made me happy to be bullied by you...Okay, be happy, my dear, this Obviously it’s great news, right?”

After she finished speaking, she struggled to get up from Eggron's arms, and then kissed her husband again.

The two kissed passionately, sharing their love and warmth with each other, until finally they were exhausted, they embraced and fell asleep.

The next morning, after Aigron and Teresa got up, they had breakfast with Princess Augusta, and then he bid farewell to his wife.

The wife was not surprised by this, so she said goodbye to the couple readily.

"Your Majesty the King of Rome," Princess Augusta solemnly said to Eggron before parting, "you are the glorious heir, and because you are too young to witness the true face of the empire—and I am different from you , I have witnessed all the violence, plunder and massacres that flooded like a flood, and even I am a half victim. Even after I married Prince Eugene, I still can't completely let go... You are I have no way to intervene in what you are doing, I wish you success, but I am more willing to see that you can show another Bonaparte in front of the world."

"That's what I'm trying to do." Eggron replied with a smile.

"I hope so." Princess Augusta nodded, and then she sighed again, "If he is still alive, he will definitely give you some pointers, it's a pity that all I can do is these gone."

"You have done enough, and I am forever grateful to you, ma'am." Aggron kissed the back of her hand graciously, and then waved goodbye.

In this way, Eggron quietly left the Leuchtenberg Palace with the gift he received from Mrs. Augusta.　　

37, General

After bidding farewell to the widow of his righteous brother, Prince Eugene, Egron returned to Nymphenburg Palace under the guidance of his servants, and continued to enjoy the courtesy he deserved as a guest.

It wasn't long before Teresa's pregnancies were confirmed, and Aigron and Teresa finally confirmed they were expecting their first child.

The couple were naturally overjoyed. After learning the news, King Ludwig also congratulated them.

As with the previous plan, Aigron wrote two letters to report the good news to his grandmother in Rome and his father-in-law in Austria respectively,

Like all women who are about to become mothers for the first time, Teresa is a little worried about gains and losses. Sometimes she is worried that she will not be able to give birth smoothly, and sometimes she is worried that she will not know how to raise the child after giving birth. Aigron smiled bitterly in his heart, but he could only comfort her. She, let her be optimistic about everything.

Of course, while celebrating that he was about to become a father, Aigron didn't stop other things.

Just in the evening at the turn of spring and summer, Eggron's captain of the guard André Davout quietly reported to him that an "important visitor" had arrived outside Nymphenburg Palace.

Aegron felt relieved for a while, and then quickly found the court servant who was appointed by King Ludwig to "take care" of them.

"Sir, I have a friend who came here from another place, and he came here specially to find me." Aigron made his request, "So I hope to meet him here."

After hearing this request, the attendant's face showed embarrassment. "Your Highness, may I ask where this guest is from?"
