Eagle's Glory

As far as Luisa's status is concerned, it is very disrespectful to say such words. The reason why she said so decisively is because she is angry on the one hand, but more importantly, she feels that she has no obligation to help The illegitimate daughter.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in the royal family. Among other things, her ex-husband Napoleon left several illegitimate children. The most famous one is still in Poland. Napoleon did not take care of that child when he was emperor. On the contrary Almost as if he didn't exist.

This is still the case between father and son, let alone grandmother and granddaughter.

Luisa's decisive attitude did not exceed Maria's expectations. She did not love and miss Christel that much at first, but just used it as an excuse. Now that Luisa was so angry, she was satisfied. .

"There are too many people who should go to God to repent. If the two of them want to get this honor, I'm afraid they have to wait in line for a long time." Maria still kept smiling, and then replied softly, "I don't expect you to stand up and help them. In fact, it is already very good for you to be able to stand on a neutral position, it does not matter, we will do the rest."

Luisa pondered for a moment, she was extremely disgusted with this princess Maria now, but she couldn't attack it, so she could only swallow this breath.

"My father is not such a person who changes his mind easily. Since he is so angry, it will take a long time to wait for him to calm down." She commented dryly, "Under the current situation, I I think Her Majesty Sophie's best is to keep to herself and use her sincerity to impress His Majesty's heart, so that one day His Majesty will be merciful, after all, he doesn't need to be serious with a little girl."

That's what she said, but she didn't believe that Sophie would "keep it safe". After all, not long ago, she secretly helped her son deliver letters to Sophie.

But what can she do?

Both her son and Sophie are stubborn and powerful people, and now there is another Maria who is fanning the flames. No matter who she is, she can't stop it—and, in the case of her son, she can't help it. Dare to tell my father

After much deliberation, she could only pretend that she didn't know. No matter what her son and Maria wanted to do, she would never participate, but she would never ask, and they could do whatever they wanted.

"Well, since you think so, then I have nothing to comment." Maria stopped arguing with her, "Don't worry, no matter what happens, you will never need to bear any responsibility. What you have done so far These things are enough for me and Sophie to thank you."

"I hope so." Luisa didn't dare to expect Maria to thank herself, but she didn't care, anyway, she didn't want to have anything to do with Maria.

It is said that words are not speculative, and now that this has been said, Luisa does not want to waste words with Maria, she salutes and then bids her farewell.

"Your Highness Maria, I am once again grateful for everything you have done for my son. Logically speaking, when he is seriously injured, I should take good care of him. But for the sake of confidentiality, I can only talk to him temporarily. Keep a certain distance... So I entrust him to you for the time being, I believe that since you are friends with him, you will definitely take good care of him, and, in our small principality, although you can't enjoy Public courtesy, but you are undoubtedly my most honored guest, and you are free to visit as long as you like, and I wish you the best of luck here."

After finishing speaking, she left quietly.

Logically speaking, she should go to her bastard son again, question him whether what Maria said is true, and angrily accuse him of discrediting the Habsburg royal family, but she just thought of it and gave up.

She knew that although her son had an extremely sweet mouth when he wanted to please others, he was more poisonous than anyone else when he wanted to hurt others. As a victim, she herself had experienced the feeling of being so angry many times.

A Maria had already made her so angry, and if she wanted to quarrel with her son again, she was afraid that she would be pissed off to death today, so she gave up her plan to scold her again.

In the final analysis, what's the point of scolding again, what's the point?She couldn't control her son, so she could only let him do whatever he wanted.

If God continues to bless him, then what he does is right; if God does not want to bless him any more, then whatever fate he suffers is his own fault.Grain

After watching Luisa leave with a smile, Maria's face suddenly became as cold as ice.

She has always been a person who is too stingy to get revenge, so naturally she will not forget Luisa's contempt for her just now, and the fact that she broke herself-although there is a reason for it.

It's just that now is not the time to settle accounts, let's talk about it later.

With a tense face, she walked into the room Louisa had just walked out of.

As soon as she came in, Eggron noticed her, and then found that she looked strange.

"You don't seem to have a pleasant conversation with my mother?" he asked.

"It's more than unpleasant, it's a quarrel." Maria replied coldly.

Aegron was a little taken aback.

He knew that his mother was not a good-tempered person, but he also knew that his mother had always kept the etiquette and would not lose her temper at will. Even if she didn't like Maria in her heart, she would not show it.

"Why are you arguing?" He asked suspiciously.

"Of course it's due to you—" Maria glared at him, "She seems to think it's an eyesore for me to walk with you."

This Eggron can understand, he even has a guilty conscience-because he really has a ghost.

"As long as we have a clear conscience, it doesn't matter what she thinks—" He smirked, "Besides, you will be a guest after you come, and she will maintain her superficial etiquette even if she is unhappy, so as not to embarrass you. "

"But, I also told her about Crystal." Maria sneered. "She was shocked and angry at the time, and her face changed."

"What?" Even Eggron was shocked by Maria's boldness, "Why did you tell her?"

"As a grandmother, shouldn't she know the existence of her granddaughter?" Maria asked back. "Or, are you not sincere in letting Crystal live in the sun in the future?"

Aigron was speechless.

He couldn't deny this.

It was only natural for the grandmother to know that her granddaughter existed, even if Louisa didn't care about the child at all.

"What did she say?" Aegron asked cautiously.

"She said that this is the sin you committed, and you should bear it yourself. She doesn't want to care about it, and she doesn't want to offend His Majesty the Emperor." Maria replied.

This was not beyond Aigron's expectations, he had known for a long time that this would be the result.

He also knew that, in a sense, even Maria was deliberately forcing him to make it impossible for him to deny it in the future.

"It doesn't matter. Since I was a child, I have never relied on my mother. Her attitude has nothing to do with me. Even if she does not recognize Crystal in the future, I will do my duty as a father."

So Eggron reassured her.

At this time, he could already imagine the scene when the two met just now.

He had already seen how venomous Maria was. When she and Luisa got into a quarrel, Maria would easily irritate her mother if she showed a little skill, especially when such a scandal broke out. It would make her feel at a loss - so it is understandable that she lost her composure.

He didn't want to blame Maria either, since everything had already happened, what else was there to say?

Besides, everything was his own responsibility when he got to the bottom of it, and he didn't have the right to lose his temper.

So...don't care!

Anyway, mother won't do anything to him now, so she can be angry if she likes, as long as she heals her injuries here, she can leave quietly, and the sea and the sky will be bright again.

Just as he was still pondering, he suddenly felt a slight chill on his face, as if some raindrops had fallen.

He quickly took a closer look and found that it was Maria's tears.

"What are you crying for?" Eggron was startled and suspicious.

It stands to reason that it shouldn't be so. Maria has a lot of quarrel experience since she was a child. How could she cry because of a quarrel?Besides, she seemed to have the upper hand.

"It's nothing, sir." Maria looked a little emotionally broken, and she shook her head gently while crying, "It just occurred to me that if things had gone the other way, maybe I wouldn't have met her the first time. In such a situation, I... what am I angry about! What I am angry with is not her, but myself, and the fate that plays tricks on me... I shouldn't have fallen to this point!"

Aigron was still confused about this sentence, but he could see that it was obvious that Maria couldn't be stimulated now.

So, he reluctantly picked up the handkerchief from the side, then raised his hand carefully, and wiped her tears.

"Is it better?" He asked after a long time.

"It's all your fault!" Maria snatched the handkerchief, and then gave him a vicious look.

Then, she stood up and left the room, leaving behind the bewildered young man.　　

81, timing

Maria's sudden outburst made Aegron confused.

However, Maria has always given people the impression of being sharp and irritable, so Aigron did not delve too deeply into the reasons.

But of course he could see that his mother had a very bad relationship with her, and it was almost impossible to fix it.

But so what?Anyway, there is no intersection at all, if you hate each other, just hate each other, it's not a problem at all.

In the next few days, Aigron continued to recover from his injuries, and Maria did not leave immediately, but chose to stay and continue to take care of him.

Gradually, Aigron's injury recovered. Although he was still weak after the serious injury, at least his actions were no longer a serious problem, and he could finally get out of bed and walk.

However, because of Bianka's attack, he had a few shocking scars on his body. Some scars will slowly heal over time, but some scars may remain on his body permanently as marks after the battle.

Thinking of this, Aigron was full of anger with Bianka, and he vowed to take revenge in the future.

Of course, I will talk about the future, and now he just wants to relax.

He has always been a person full of energy and full of action. He has been lying on the bed for so long during this period, and he has already been suffocated. Now that he can move on his own, of course he can't stay idle.

So he decided... to throw a small party to celebrate his recovery.

He summoned his confidants who came with him, as well as Her Royal Highness Princess Maria, and sat at the banquet together.

The conditions of the hotel are simple, the standard of the banquet is naturally not high, and the number of people is very small, but it is said that soldiers are expensive and elites are not expensive. Among the people present, there gathered an emperor (only self-proclaimed for the time being), a princess (this It is genuine), a Marquis (unrecognized by the outside world), and an illegitimate son of a cardinal (secret), the lineup is enough to make up a small "court".

Seeing Aigron's happy face after he recovered, the others also breathed a sigh of relief, and also became more relaxed.

At the opening of the banquet, Aigron stood up with a smile on his face, picked up the wine glass and toasted the people present.

"Everyone, I don't know what words to use to express my recognition and gratitude for your loyalty... In short, you have proved that my trust in you is worthwhile. I have fallen into danger and almost I lost my life, it was you who persevered, let me get my life back, and gave me a chance to escape the danger. I know what expectations you put on me, I can only say that my life not only belongs to me, It belongs to you too, and I will risk my life to fulfill these expectations-let us drink to glory and victory!"

"Cheers to His Majesty's health!" André Davout took the lead to pick up the glass and toasted Aigron.

"Cheers to His Majesty's health!" Others also congratulated together.

Even Maria, although she didn't speak, picked up the wine glass and toasted him.

After taking a sip of the white wine, Aigron felt relieved immediately.

Out of the bath due to a serious injury, Aigron also knew that he could not indulge, but of course there is no problem in drinking a small glass of wine or two.

These wines were specially sent by his mother from the small palace in Palma. They are high-quality cellars and wines produced by the best wineries in the Principality of Palma. Knowing the seriousness, he did not vent his anger on Aigron, but kept his promise and gave his son the material care he deserved.

It is made from a grape called "Malvaisa". After several processes, its taste is complex and exudes a unique delicate grassy aroma.

After all, Aigron also grew up in Schönbrunn Palace, and he was used to drinking all kinds of top wines since he was a child, so this kind of specialty wine is not enough to amaze him-it's just the joy of recovering from a serious injury, but it makes the wine in his mouth change. It's getting more and more luscious.

The others were similar, their joyful mood made them drink freely, and wished this young man not to encounter the same disaster again from the bottom of his heart.

However, in the midst of all the jubilation, Egron keenly noticed that Maria was a little depressed, and she was obviously a little distracted when she drank the wine, as if she had a serious mind.

"His Royal Highness Maria." In order to please Maria, Aigron hurriedly greeted her alone, "I thanked everyone just now, but now I must thank you one more time, because I am their benefactor and they follow me It is their duty to help me; but you are different, you just rescued me out of good intentions, not only rescued me, but also took good care of me during this time-I think this contribution is commendable And it's irreplaceable, my God, when I think that without you by my side, I can only enjoy the care of a few big men, I can't help but shudder, and I even wish that I couldn't wake up at all! "

Aigron's deliberate joke made everyone burst into laughter, and even Maria herself couldn't help grinning slightly.

"Your Highness, you saved my life, and you convinced me with your sincere heart that you have good intentions for me. When facing the critical moment of death, you did not choose to run away immediately and hesitated to face the danger with me, Imagine how many people can do it? From that moment on, you were one of my best friends, and I will never forget that scene - I grew up in the court and listened to the false polite words Countless, but only few times have I seen the sincerity, but this time, I saw the sincerity that social rhetoric can never match.

After speaking, he gratefully raised his glass to Maria and gestured.

After Maria finished listening, she also felt a little emotional, and finally gave him a look of "at least you still have some conscience", and then picked up the wine glass and took another sip of wine.

When the people around saw the interaction between the two, there was a hint of ambiguity in their eyes. Not only were they not stupid, but they were also quite shrewd, so they could clearly see that His Majesty was deliberately trying to please His Majesty Maria.

As for the purpose...it should be very obvious, His Majesty definitely wants to have something happen with His Highness the Princess.

Came to the same conclusion, but André Davout and Leon Esposito had different thoughts.

André Davout is only loyal to His Majesty, and he will not care about any actions of the young man at all. In his opinion, as long as His Majesty is carrying out his great cause, it doesn't matter if he is romantic during this period, and it can even highlight His Majesty's integrity. Charm is a great thing.

And Leon Esposito joined Aigron halfway. Although he was quickly recruited as a private secretary by Aigron's discerning eyes, he was an "outsider" after all. They couldn't get along, but his position happened to be very close to that of Princess Teresa, who was also an outsider.

And Princess Teresa did win over him vaguely before—according to this logic, he should be on Princess Teresa's side.

Leon naturally knew the purpose of Princess Teresa's win over him. She hoped that she could be a sounding board to let her know what she wanted to know.

And the scene that happened now must belong to the "things she wants to know".

Then the next question is - should I tell her this?

Leon was a little conflicted. After all, he would take the risk of telling the truth, but at the same time, he would definitely be able to gain the absolute trust of Princess Teresa, thus gaining a solid backer.

The coexistence of risks and benefits is really a bit tangled.

However, having received strict theological education since he was a child, he didn't show any flaws on the surface, and he still dealt with the people around him normally, and made a few jokes from time to time to enliven the atmosphere of the meeting.

Of course, neither Andre nor Leon, either of them, has considered any moral burden—Your Majesty is Your Majesty, even if you want to try to have something with His Highness Maria, is there any problem? ?

In the midst of everyone's chatting and laughing, this celebration banquet was carried out cheerfully and harmoniously. Everyone chatted happily and joked from time to time. It can be said that the host and guest had a good time.

Of course, because everyone was concerned about Aigron's body, they didn't toast him a lot. Aigron just coped with the scene a little bit, and was not intoxicated by it.

As the time came to the evening, the banquet gradually came to an end, and the people present began to feel a little drunk.

At this time, Aigron stood up again and announced the end of the banquet to the people present.

People got up to salute him one after another, and then left, while Aigron watched Maria's movements.Gu Yu

At this time, Maria drank a lot of wine, her face was flushed, but she was obviously staying sober.

She walked up the stairs, looking like she wanted to go to the balcony to blow some air, and Aigron naturally followed.

Sure enough, as he expected, Maria came to the balcony, then sat on the seat, picked up a folding fan and began to fan the wind.

Although it's only spring now, it's quite normal for her to feel hot all over because of the alcohol...

Aegron walked up to her while observing her.

At this time, the blush on her face has not dissipated, her eyes are half-closed, and the lace on her cuffs is placed on her chest, lazy and magnificent.

Looking at her luxurious appearance, who would have imagined her usual harsh words?

However, considering her kindness to him, Aigron didn't care about any bitterness.
