Eagle's Glory

Aigron secretly marveled at his mother's imagination - did this imagination come from life, or is it the inevitable cranky thinking of people in middle age?

Anyway, he had to refute the rumors.

"No, no, she is Her Highness Sophie's twin sister, Her Highness Maria."

"What!?" Luisa was really stunned now, "What's going on? How did you kidnap a Bavarian princess? Is this crazy?"

"Your imagination doesn't need to be so rampant..." Egron smiled a little awkwardly, "She came here voluntarily to help me, and this is a very long story."

Then, he told his mother exactly why he and His Highness Maria had fallen into the current situation by accident. Of course, he deliberately blurred out some specific details.

Louisa listened quietly, and she didn't comment until after Eggron finished speaking, "That is to say, after being offended by you many times, she still forgave you, or chose to help you? Why?"

"Maybe it's for Sophie's sake," Aegron replied.

Luisa frowned slightly, as if she didn't believe it.

"What about you? My son, what are you going to do to her?"

"Of course I have nothing but gratitude to her—" Aggron replied.

"Everyone you've been thankful for so far has been bad luck, your grandfather, Archduke Karl, Sophie—" Louisa replied calmly, "As a new member of the list, how are you going to make her bad luck? "

Hello!How can you look at your son like this, can't you put a little trust in it? !Eggron was furious.

But sadly, it seems... to be true.

Seeing that her son was silent, Luisa shook her head and gave up asking.

"My son, you are already an adult, and you have always been used to doing your own way. In reality, you have also proved that you can do whatever you want. I shouldn't say anything-I just ask you to think, Some things are not as easy to manipulate as you think, once you play with fire, it will become a disaster..."　　

79. Thunder on the flat ground

"Some things are not as easy to manipulate as you think, and once played too far, it will become a disaster."

Of course Eggron could hear his mother's hidden warning, but he has always been a proud and stubborn person, so naturally it is impossible for him to change his mind just because of a few words from his mother.

"I'll think about it, thank you." He responded casually.

Although she didn't get along with her son for a long time, she was a mother after all. Seeing Aigron like this, Luisa also knew that her advice was useless.

But what can she do?This son is capable, has a gun and has territory, which is not something she can control at all, and she even asks for her son.

So she had no choice but to stop entangled in this question, but asked another important question.

"Is Teresa all right now? Has she returned to Ioannina now? I heard she is pregnant."

"Your news is really well-informed." Aigron nodded, "Yes, when we were in Bavaria, we found out that she was pregnant, and then I let her go back first—she is fine now, just in There, you can raise your baby with peace of mind, and take care of the principality there by the way.”

"It's really embarrassing for her. It's probably our fate to make so many sacrifices for the sake of the family..." Luisa said sarcastically, and then looked at Aigron again, "Anyway , This is also a great thing, I will have a grandson or a granddaughter. Yes, there are many conflicts and conflicts between us, which may not be resolved until the future, but I don’t have any ties with my grandchildren—— "

She intentionally paused, "Son, before the child is born, I probably won't be able to witness his or her birth with my own eyes, but it's unreasonable. As a grandmother, I have to give a gift."

Aigron has no objection to this matter either—the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren is a family relationship, so why should he say more?

"Then I will thank you for this unborn child." He immediately thanked his mother, "If you are willing, I will let the child see you when I have a chance in the future."

"Well, this is the best." Luisa looked a little melancholy, and then sighed again, "Time is really terrible... It's terrible, I still remember those carefree times when I was a girl, and the result In a blink of an eye, I will be a grandmother in a few months! I'm afraid I've already spent most of my life like this..."

The mother's emotion also resonated with Aigron.

Indeed, time is cruel to everyone. Although he is still a young man, it is inevitable that he will grow up and grow old day by day.

Therefore, in order to give meaning to these times, he must complete the predestined achievements, so that this life is not in vain.

"Actually, you don't have to be so pessimistic, Mom." He suppressed the sadness in his heart, and then comforted his mother, "You just gave birth to me when you were 20 years old, and I gave you grandchildren when I was 17 years old. Calculating your age carefully, you are still very young, and you are a lady in full bloom, but you are living in isolation and avoiding the world, if you intend to return to the social world, you will surely be highly sought after by people."

"Haha..." Luisa laughed amused by him, "Okay, don't say such things, what can I expect at my age? I have experienced too many disasters, and now I would rather I live in seclusion, I only hope that my family will no longer be disturbed by human disasters."

In any case, Aigron's joke still worked, and the tense atmosphere between the two of them eased a lot.

"Okay, since you are still recovering from your injuries, I won't waste your time any longer, and you can take a good rest." Then, his mother said goodbye to him, "Take care of your body and don't take any more risks in the future. Much luck..."

After speaking, she walked out of the room.

However, she did not leave immediately, but came to the next room, and Maria was waiting here.

As soon as she saw Luisa, Maria quickly put on a very respectful look, and first saluted and said hello to her.

"It is an honor to meet you, Your Highness."

Maria was so arrogant and arrogant that she didn't even pay attention to Luisa's father, so naturally she wouldn't really fear Luisa.

It's just that, on the one hand, she can't be less polite, and on the other hand, Louisa is also Eggron's mother after all, so she still puts on her attitude on the surface.

"I am also very pleased to meet you, Your Highness." Luisa greeted the other party gently, and then also saluted, "Although we met in such an unexpected way, I think we can meet new faces Always a good thing—who makes life so dreary in our little principality? So I welcome you."

Maria was slightly embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

"Sorry, I've bothered you... But this is definitely not my intention, this is a trick of fate."

"It's not so much a trick of fate, it's better to say it's the result of my bastard son's mischief. I can understand your embarrassment. Hey, he always uses various methods to give us headaches... You are definitely not the first victim "Luisa comforted her kindly and relieved her of the embarrassment, "However, no matter how you came, since you are here, you are our guest, and you have rescued my son, and you are my benefactor Yes, I thank you very much... please rest assured, as long as you stay with us for a day, you will receive the highest standard of courtesy. You probably don't have much chance to visit around. Although our place is a dreary little place, it is not There’s no shortage of views, and you can take a tour to fill your mood.”

Although the two met for the first time, Luisa handled it almost impeccably, being humble and decent, and skillfully overshadowed the embarrassment between the two.

She was a queen after all, no matter how low-key she is, she still cannot be underestimated... Maria thought to herself.

She suddenly thought again, if her sister hadn't lost her mind at the time, maybe the two of them would be a real mother-in-law and daughter-in-law now, so why are they so embarrassing now?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help secretly hating Sophie and Teresa.

But she quickly put these thoughts aside, and then smiled and replied to the other party, "You are talking too much, I am just doing my duty, after all, part of the reason for his injury is also caused by me—— — I should take responsibility for that."

Louisa has just learned from Eggron's false narrative that Maria is helping her son and Sophie, so she went to Vienna to visit her father and her twin sister, and then agreed to meet in Milan , eventually came across the assailant's.

Although she understood the entire timeline, she still had lingering doubts in her heart.

She was also a princess herself, and she never believed in her heart that a princess would do this for others—even for her twin sister.

She felt that there must be other reasons and motives.

And this motivation seems to be quite obvious.

It stands to reason that she doesn't really want to take care of her son's affairs.

However, this pair of Bavarian princesses has a special status, and her son is not a fuel-efficient lamp. If they are allowed to mess around, not only will they cause trouble for themselves, but who knows how many black spots will be added to their Habsburg family?

She has been out of the world for many years, and she doesn't want to get involved in the affairs of the younger generation to cause trouble for herself, but as the eldest daughter of the emperor, she still wants to make one last effort to persuade Maria to let this Don't do your own thing with your sisters.

It's best to let the nasty stuff go so far and everyone pretend nothing happened.

"At the request of my son, I sent a letter to Her Majesty Sophie. Like you, I sympathize with Her Majesty Sophie's experience." She whispered.

"I know about it, she told me all about it." Maria nodded, "I thank you for your selfless help when she was in trouble."

"Hey... It's really a blow of fate that things have come to this point." Luisa sighed, "My father is indeed a bit harsh."

After first expressing sympathy, she immediately changed the topic, "However, please understand his difficulties, he has always been a person who is devout to God and strictly self-disciplined, and thunder and wrath are inevitable when encountering such things. Now that things are like this, we might as well look forward and bury the past in the past, it will be better for everyone.”

Although she spoke tactfully, how could Maria not understand her subtext with her intelligence?

"This world is always more tolerant of men. If the same thing happens to her, she is heinous and deserves to suffer, but what happens to others—?" So she immediately pushed back, "Just look at you and me Stay with me, my father and brother are wanderers, and both have their own mistresses; and your father has been married four times, and there may be secret lovers during the period; as for Metternich, he has countless mistresses. Know how many wives have dewy marriages! They do it, no one is held accountable, and my sister just loves someone, which is a crime! I don't object to her being punished for breaking the commandments, but whoever punished her in the first place You have to prove that you have the qualifications first, right?"

Maria's retaliation made Luisa's face turn red and turn pale.

What a sharp-tongued woman!It was exactly the same as her sister.

Luisa had seen Sophie's style before, but she didn't expect to see it again in Maria. Not only was it exactly the same, it was even worse.

Although she was upset, it was difficult for her to fight back in front of these rhetoric.

After all, after you have taken a hundred steps, are you still not allowed to do only fifty or even thirty steps?It doesn't sound reasonable either.

After regaining her composure, Luisa changed her method again.

"Actually, I can understand this, so I didn't blame Her Majesty Sophie. I understand the difficulty of being a woman... Hey, it is indeed a lonely place there. It is only natural for her to like Franz. No disrespect to my brothers, but I also don't think they can compare to Franz at all."

After putting a high hat on her son and rationalizing what Sophie did, she changed the subject again, "But now that we have reached this point, no matter what, everyone should recognize the reality—the past It's just a thing of the past, the two of them will be separated from each other in the future, and they will have to go their separate ways, as will everyone else. Today, my son is married to Teresa, and last time they visited me together, they are very suitable, I I am also very pleased about this, not to mention that Teresa is pregnant and will soon bring me my first grandchild... I am even more happy from the bottom of my heart. Maybe this is God's will, God made me The House of Habsburg and the House of Bonaparte have reconciled through another marriage, and her child will surely be blessed and carry on the business—and she has her glorious life, and she will surely pick up again when my father dies. Wouldn't it be great to let go of the glory of the past and become the most dazzling pearl in the Austrian court?"

Then, she smiled slightly, "Presumably, this result is also the best for you, right? You don't need to worry about the two of them anymore, you can also seek your best life instead of To be entangled in these headaches..."

Although Luisa's words were actually very reasonable, but there was some sarcasm in them, which made Maria feel uncomfortable.

No, it's not so much that these sarcasm make her feel uncomfortable, it's better to say that her superior tone makes her feel uncomfortable——

You have already lost, and you have suffered a crushing defeat, don't worry about it, go live your own beautiful life...

These words do make sense, but are you worthy of saying them?What kind of person are you again?Obviously, I am just a follower of the crowd...

Luisa didn't notice Maria's expression, but because of her silence, she thought she had persuaded her.

"I was just talking to Franz that I would prepare a gift for my first grandchild. Presumably Teresa will be very happy to receive my blessing..." she continued.

"You really like to speculate, Your Highness." At this moment, Maria suddenly raised her head and interrupted Luisa's words. "Even the basic facts are wrong."

"What do you mean?" Louisa froze.

"You said Teresa is pregnant with your first grandchild? That's a big mistake. In fact, you already have your first grandchild, and it is said to be quite cute." Maria smiled gently , greeting Luisa, "Congratulations, Your Highness, your grandchildren will definitely be very healthy and lovely."

Luisa was still stunned for a moment, not understanding what she meant for a while.

Then, her eyes widened, as if struck by lightning.

"...you...you..." Her lips trembled, but she didn't know what to say.

She didn't expect that her son and Sophie would be so bold - no wonder the father was so angry!

"This kind of disaster is indeed not what we want to see, but as a younger sister, I can only find a way to remedy it. I can't leave that child alone, right?" Maria asked, "What do you think?"

Louisa was silent.

"Oh my god... how could this happen!" Finally, she sighed deeply, feeling a little guilty all of a sudden. "I matched Teresa with the emperor, but brought her such a disaster!"

Maria felt no apology.

What?So you were the one who instigated it?

Well, it turns out that besides Teresa, my second enemy is actually you!

She was almost angry for a moment, but she quickly calmed down and pretended nothing happened.

Wait, it's best not to let me gain power in the future, or you will be punished by then.　　

80, rattling

Wait, it's best not to let me gain power in the future, or you will be punished by then.

After hearing that the other party had spoiled her own good deeds, Maria couldn't help feeling a sudden hatred in her heart.

However, she herself knew that this wish would be difficult to realize—Luisa was the eldest daughter of the Austrian emperor, so even if she became powerful in the future, what could she do to her?

The only hope is that Sophie will be in charge of the Austrian court in the future, presumably her twin sister will be happy to settle accounts with Louisa at that time.

But she buried all these thoughts in her heart, and kept calm on the surface.

Of course, the harmonious atmosphere between the two people at the beginning has disappeared at this time.

Luisa felt a little tingly, and she didn't know how to deal with the current situation.

She didn't expect that her son not only played with fire, but also played with a big one.

The inexplicable addition of a granddaughter does not make her feel excited, on the contrary, it is just an illegitimate daughter who brings shame to her family.

The more I think about it, the more annoyed I become, but I don't know how to vent it, let alone how to solve it.

Because there was nothing she could do, she naturally poured her anger on Maria—if your sister hadn't acted recklessly, how could things have come to this point?It deserves to be so miserable now, and it is absolutely not worthy of sympathy.

Maria could sense the anger in Luisa's heart now, but she wasn't afraid or cared at all, and just faced the other party with a smile.

"As far as I know, Her Highness Teresa took the initiative to welcome this disaster—when your son left without saying goodbye before the engagement, if she wanted to escape, she had every chance to escape, even if none of this happened. But the truth is on the contrary, she insisted on making this precarious marriage come true more than anyone else, and I didn't see any reluctance or regret - so, rather than saying that she is pitiful, it is better to say that she is determined enough , you have to be loyal to your choice even when you know these things. You don’t owe her anything, she should thank you for your matchmaking at that time."

Although Maria said it as if she was praising Teresa, in her heart she only felt annoyed. If Teresa hadn't insisted on going her own way, the matter would have had room for improvement, but now it has become a deadlock.

Maria's comfort did not make Luisa happy.

"It's acceptable if everything before becomes a forgotten past, but if those sins still linger, then I think it's a huge disaster." She replied coldly, "It seems that you don't The meaning of forgetting, on the contrary, is willing to provoke everyone's scars again."

"Oh, really? You call all of this a sin?" Maria asked with a smile, "Maybe it is, but what about that child? Is she a sin too?"

"This child is indeed miserable. She was recklessly brought into this world by two people without anyone's blessing, and she was burdened with sins that should not belong to her." Just because he was very upset, Louis Sha was also completely blunt when she spoke, "I'm sorry, but her fate can only be decided by my royal father...I personally can't intervene, and I can only obey all the will of His Majesty."

"So, you regard your own granddaughter, the emperor's great-granddaughter as dispensable, or even no better burden, right?" Maria asked again, "Since Sophie has fallen to this end, although I don't Convinced but unable to do anything, but don't you think that we should all make this child a better destiny for the sake of reason and reason? I think I should make a little contribution, so I did."

Luisa narrowed her eyes slightly, hiding her disdain.

She didn't believe that Maria had such kindness and was willing to do her best to help this newly born niece, but she didn't want to point out the other party's "sinister intentions" because of etiquette.

"It's your freedom to do whatever you want. I'm just saying that I can't help it. All of this should be decided by fate." She replied indifferently. "Don't blame me. I never expected her to be born. She is the product of two noble but irresponsible people who indulged in lust and lust. It is not I who made her born so miserable, but she. Her parents—if there is a need to repent, it is not me, but her parents! By the way, I hope that the two of them will repent in the future, so as not to repeat the same mistakes."
