Eagle's Glory

At this moment, his stomach made a sound, which freed him from the awkward atmosphere.

At this time, Eggron realized that he was indeed quite hungry, after all, he couldn't eat even in a coma.

"Do you... have anything to eat here?" He carefully changed the subject.

Maria finally didn't pursue further, but nodded, and then answered coldly.

"Wait a moment."

Then she left Eggron and walked out of the room, apparently looking for something to eat in the hotel kitchen.

After she left, Eggron was bored and could only watch the patterns on the ceiling and the buildings outside the window to relieve his boredom. Fortunately, Maria did not leave for too long and came back soon, and at this time she was holding a plate in her hand. Put two large bowls and spoons.

When she brought the plate in front of her, Eggron found two bowls of steaming oatmeal and broth. He had been starved for so long, and when he smelled the aroma, he immediately moved his index finger, almost barely self-sufficient.

He struggled to sit up and raised his hand to pick up a spoon to eat, but Maria stopped him.

"The doctor said that your shoulder was punctured. In order to restore it to its original state as much as possible, it is best not to move around now, so let me help you—"

While speaking, she picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful of broth from the bowl, and handed it to Aegron.

Aigron was surprised at first, then moved, and almost shed tears.

"I'm probably the first person to enjoy this kind of treatment?" Aigron asked almost in disbelief before drinking it.

"If you spend more time talking, it won't be." Maria frowned. "If I didn't feel sorry for you, why would I do this? If you don't like it, then find someone else to replace me!"

Undoubtedly, this is also quite embarrassing for her, so she can only cover it up with a fierce look.

Now that he said that, Aigron didn't dare to talk too much, he immediately opened his mouth and drank it.

The cooking of these foods was mediocre, but at this time, he was already hungry, and everything he drank seemed delicious—besides, it was delivered to his mouth by His Royal Highness Maria himself, so naturally he could add a little more.

So, as a patient, Aigron enjoyed this set of services that he could not have imagined before.

In all fairness, Maria does not have any ability to serve people, which is nothing compared to Chanel's thoughtfulness. Aigron accidentally spilled hot soup on his clothes and sheets, but even so, he was still very moved.

No matter what the reason is, she has done her best.

So, the two continued the process of feeding and eating in silence, everything was so quiet, even a little warm.

However, this short-lived warmth is destined not to last too long. Not long after, there was a hasty knock on the door of the room.

Aegron, who was disturbed, felt a little impatient. "who?"

"... Sir, I heard that you are awake, that's great..." Andre Davout's voice came from the door of the room, almost crying with joy.

Aigron knew that he must have been restless during his coma, so he came to see him as soon as he got the news.

Even if it disturbs my "elegant spirit", this loyalty cannot be thrown cold water casually.

So, he suppressed his impatience and answered him gently. "Wait a minute, I'm eating—right away."　　

75 secret order

"Wait a minute, I'm eating—right away."

After finishing speaking, Aigron smiled at Maria with an apology.

Maria also calmed down from the initial panic, gave him another sideways glance, and then continued to silently help him finish the rest of the broth.

She put the dishes back on the plate, and Aggron, with his good right hand, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and then cried out. "come in!"

The door opened immediately, and André Davout rushed in straight away.

Then, he saw the young man lying on the bed and his miserable appearance in bandages.

"Your Majesty!" Tears of guilt immediately flowed from the corners of his eyes, and then he apologized to the young man with tears in his voice, "I'm sorry...it's my negligence of duty, I failed your trust and caused you to suffer so much, it's really my fault A sin that cannot be redeemed by death!"

Ever since Aigron entrusted him with the responsibility of "tracking down those traitors who stole the empire's property", André Davout devoted all his energy to this task, so much so that Aigron met Maria in Milan. At that time, he was not accompanied by protection.

Therefore, when he received the bad news that "His Majesty was attacked", he quickly put down what he was doing like a thunderbolt, and immediately rushed back to His Majesty's side.

He has always dreamed that the empire can be restored, and all his hopes are pinned on this young majesty, and there is not even a reliable substitute, so if this young man dies early due to an accident, then his dream will come true. Encountering a devastating blow, it can even be said to be the end of his entire life.

In the face of such a blow, any plan or remedy is almost meaningless. I am afraid that they, Bonaparte supporters, will not be able to create any momentum for at least 20 years.

"Don't blame yourself, you are not responsible for all this." Aigron calmly comforted the other party, "The reason why I fell to this point is because of my own negligence, and you have no negligence in your duties. On the contrary, now I still Need you to fix it for me. So brace yourself, Andrei."

Hearing Eggron's comfort, especially after seeing that he is now sane and has no worries about his life,

Andre, who was originally worried, finally calmed down a little.

"Your Majesty, I will. Whatever you need me to do, I will do it right away." He quickly assured Aigron.

"Then, now, calm down with me first, please sit down." Aigron shifted his gaze and motioned Andre to sit down first.

Andre sat down obediently, and then he finally noticed Princess Maria who had been silent beside her and the plate she was holding in her hand.

Could it be that she was helping His Majesty to eat just now?Andre immediately understood why His Majesty had to wait outside the door for a while.

Your Majesty is really amazing, to make a princess willing to treat him like this...

He had just flashed this thought, and suddenly realized that His Royal Highness Maria was looking at him with indifferent and stern eyes, so he immediately sat up straight, and then stared straight ahead, not daring to have any other superfluous thoughts.

After being by Aegron's side for so long, he had learned to turn a blind eye, as any favored servant of a king had in history.

He had personally witnessed the scene when His Majesty and Princess Maria met. Although it was cloudy, he knew from that time that the relationship between the two was extraordinary.

He also knew that no matter what personal relationship between His Majesty and Princess Maria, he, a captain of the personal guard, could not comment on or interfere. If he got involved, it would only bring danger to himself.

"I'm going out first, you can talk about it yourself." After secretly warning Andre, Maria said goodbye to Egron indifferently, and then walked out of the room with a plate.

Andre, who was highly nervous, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then became worried about His Majesty's current situation. "Your Majesty...what happened? Can you tell me what happened to you that night?"

Naturally, Aigron would not hide anything from him, so he cheered up and told him a rough account of his fierce battle with Bianka that night.

When he heard that the assassin was actually Agnes' master, Andre was shocked at first, and then even a little dumbfounded—he didn't expect his hazy premonition to be so accurately fulfilled.

After Egron finished talking, he was filled with righteous indignation, "I was full of admiration for Miss Agnes's teacher before. Although I didn't know her, I thought she must be amazing to teach such an apprentice. I really didn't expect... ...she would do such a despicable thing! Shameless!"

"Moral condemnation can't solve practical problems." Aigron was much calmer. "Besides, she was also ordered by others. She has no enmity with me. My real enemy is her instigator behind the scenes..."

Then, there was a bit of gloom in his tone, "Without a doubt, this is the worst injury I have ever suffered since I was a child. It almost cost me my life! This is not only an injury to my body, but also The insult to my dignity, I absolutely cannot forgive them lightly, I must avenge my revenge! However, it is not enough to avenge Bianka, if this instigator is not found out, my shame will never be eliminated .”

Aigron didn't know if he could really avenge today's revenge, but he knew that the mark of this assassination would be permanently left on his body-even if his shoulder recovered, it would definitely leave a scar.

Thinking of this, he felt uncontrollable anger and shame.

The offense to his dignity must be repaid double.

"You are right, we must punish!" André Davout immediately echoed, "Then who do you think ordered her to do this?"

"Of course I don't know this yet, but I think the person who gave the order must be in France." Aigron frowned, and expressed his guess, "Although many people want my life, but Most of them are thousands of miles away, and there is no time to plan to assassinate me. Moreover, we have only arrived in Milan so shortly. If it was a sudden intention, she would not be able to find me and confirm my identity so quickly—— I must be following us all the way, and my recent activities in France should be an opportunity to stimulate them to decide to assassinate—"

"You make sense." Andre thought for a while, then nodded in agreement, "Then this is the trick of the false king?"

"It's very likely...but not necessarily the case." Aigron replied ponderingly, "In Paris, there are many other people who want to kill me. There were too many people who were dissatisfied with the emperor back then. Our Bonaparte family There is never a shortage of enemies—even the Duke of Orleans and his supporters are motivated to eliminate me, a contender for the throne, ahead of time." Gu Zhan

Andre also felt that it made sense, so he was a little confused, "Then... how should we confirm and identify the real culprit?"

"Of course I sent someone to take a look." Aigron replied decisively, "After I go back this time, I will ask Edmond Dantès to go to Paris to make a stop for us, and at the same time track down who attacked me before. I believe that with his ability, he will be able to uncover this sinister and shameless enemy for me."

André Davout froze for a moment, he heard Aigron's overtones.

"Your Majesty, do you mean to install your permanent representative in Paris?"

"Yes." Aegron nodded. "It is indeed time now. The puppet king's rule is crumbling. We have to start planning ahead of time. What happened today reminded me that we still have many enemies in France. The fall of the puppet king does not mean that France will automatically fall under our control." Underfoot... So we need to increase our presence in France, contact potential supporters from all sides, and prepare for our next takeover of this country. This is an arduous task, and I must let my most trusted person do it One thing—I think Edmund is the best fit."

Andre also agrees with this view.

In fact, he wanted himself to carry out this task more in his heart - but first, he felt that he should be responsible for the more important work of protecting His Majesty's safety; second, he was the nephew of Marshal Davout after all, and many people in Paris knew him Well, if you go to Paris by yourself, it will be easy to be found out, and it will spoil your Majesty's event.

"I believe the Count of Monte Cristo will live up to your great trust." Because he has a good relationship with the Count, he immediately said good things to Edmond Dantès, "I think that as long as you give him enough support and authority, He will surely flourish in Paris and lay the groundwork for you to retake that city."

"I also believe that he is destined to shine there." Aigron smiled and sent out a sentence that made the other party feel inexplicable. "I'm going to give him a lot of money to play the part he's supposed to play."

Only he himself knows that this is indeed the best use of real people.

However, unlike the original book, Edmund Dantès, the Earl of Monte Cristo, can be called the "Imperial Envoy" in a sense this time, and he is his plenipotentiary representative. There is no need to do so many exaggerated things to show off yourself.

After arriving there, he will first meet General Treville, and then the two will work together to serve him-and Edmond Dantès has already been to Paris once before, and has already laid the foundation for this.

Aigron believes that the two of them will be able to complete the tasks they have assigned, even better than they expected.

"Your Majesty, Miss Agnes... what are you going to do?" After hesitating for a moment, Andre asked cautiously, "I believe she will definitely not be involved, she has always respected you, And she hates evil, although the person who attacked you is her master, she will never participate in it—even I think, if she knew it in advance, she would definitely try to prevent her master from doing such a despicable act."

The reason why Andre took the risk to bring up Agnes was because he was afraid that Aigron would blame her for Bianca's assassination, which would affect the "emotion" between the two.

As far as personal feelings are concerned, he has always admired Miss Agnes, and he also believed in Edgar's deceit, privately thinking that Miss Agnes is the closest bond between His Majesty and the people of France, so he is very I am happy to see her and His Majesty form a good relationship.

Right now, the two are separated by thousands of miles, and there is no news at all. It would be a disaster if more shadows were cast over Bi Angka, so he made up his mind to avoid such a thing from happening.

Fortunately, his worries were groundless.

"Andre, of course I know that Agnes is not such a person—besides, what does the matter of the master have to do with the apprentice? She doesn't need to take any responsibility for it, and I'm not the kind who likes to blame others Incompetent people." Aigron shook his head with a smile, and then made a half-true joke, "However, if one day, I can catch that woman, and then I can see Agnes It would be a pleasure to come to me for mercy."

Andre didn't quite understand Aigron's bad taste in teasing Agnes, but he could also see that His Majesty's view of Miss Agnes had not changed, so he felt relieved.

So he changed the subject again, "You said before that you would stay here for ten days before leaving, but seeing your physical condition now, it should be difficult to move after the expiry date. You must readjust your itinerary and talk to Ioannina. Let me know over there..."

He stopped here, but Aigron naturally understood his subtext.

"You don't need to tell Teresa. She is pregnant now, and she can't help there. What's the point of knowing all these fears? I'll just find an excuse to delay it for a few days... This is the only way to go now .”

Andre thought so too, but he didn't dare to say it out loud. Now that he had Aigron's order, he had no scruples.

"Okay, Your Majesty."

Aigron himself doesn't know when he will be able to fully recover, but he knows that although he is temporarily safe now, the previous incidents have sounded the alarm for himself-danger has always been with him.

Although he repelled Bianka this time, he also paid a heavy price, and it is obvious that the report of the Milan authorities has been passed on to the Vienna government, which made him feel that he could not stay here for long.

Obviously, his current safety depends largely on Maria.

"If His Royal Highness Maria takes us away, continuing to lie here will only make her and I be observed." After thinking for a while, Aigron came to a conclusion, and then asked, "Andre, do you have any questions?" Are you sure to disarm the servants and maids around her?"

Andre was so shocked that he could hardly believe his ears.

"Your Majesty...you...what do you mean? Are you going to kidnap her?"

"Of course, this is not kidnapping." Aigron shook his head, "I just asked her to take us for a ride. She is my benefactor, and I have only respect and gratitude for her. But the people around her may not be reliable. , so we have to control it temporarily, is there anything wrong with that?"

Andre stared, but couldn't think of anything to refute.

"What if Her Highness Maria is unhappy and unwilling to cooperate?"

"Then find a way to get her to cooperate—" Aigron smiled.　　

76. Kidnapping

"Then find a way to get her to cooperate—"

Aigron's smile was meaningful, and he didn't explain his thoughts too much.

Although André Davout was a bit lost, he was convinced that His Majesty could achieve what he wished—after all, this young man has proved all along that he does have the ability to turn the impossible into possible.

Moreover, judging from the intimate behavior between him and Her Highness Maria just now, it is really not too difficult to make Her Highness Princess acquiesce in a fait accompli...

Since he came to the island of Monte Cristo and defected to His Majesty, he has been with His Majesty for a long time. During this time, he has been observing the young man's words and deeds at the closest distance, and witnessed his walking. At this point.

If it is said that his respect for the young man was due to his identity before, then now, his admiration for His Majesty is already due to His Majesty himself.

Not to mention those astonishing actions before, even though the young man is seriously injured and in danger now, he still has a calm and unhurried demeanor, which makes him even more admired.

Being able to follow such a person made him believe in the success of the restoration of the empire.

As for those little moral blemishes such as repaying kindness and revenge, and wandering around, it doesn't matter to him at all-it can even be said that this is how he looks like a king!

He abides by principles in his private affairs, is enthusiastic and frank, but for the sake of His Majesty, he is happy to implement things that clearly violate personal principles-after all, that is also his duty.

"Okay, Your Majesty, I understand." Because of this mentality, he didn't ask any more, but immediately nodded and agreed, "When I just came here, I paid attention to the surrounding terrain on purpose. There are only a few people on the first floor, and the positions are scattered and the guards are not heavy. If I have the heart, I can take a few other guards and catch them all in a few minutes."

"Very well, Andre, you never let me down." Aigron smiled with satisfaction, "Then don't delay any longer, let's do it—by the way, you have to be careful not to cause casualties, The relationship between me and the royal family of Bavaria is pretty good now, so don’t easily cause too much conflict between us.”

Isn't kidnapping Her Royal Highness a conflict... Andre wanted to complain, but he didn't say it in the end.

His mission is to carry out orders to the letter, and His Majesty has other things to consider.

"Call Her Majesty Maria back for me—" Aegron pouted.

Andre immediately led the order and walked out of the room, and then found Maria in another suite. At this time, she was writing a letter and looked quite devoted.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty, please go there again."

"Huh? Does he regard himself as the master? Summon me if he wants to?" Maria was a little unhappy when she heard that, "Don't forget that this is my place!"

It doesn't matter, in a few minutes, he will have the final say here.Andre answered in his heart.
