Eagle's Glory

She had a lot of questions about this, but since the teacher refused to say more, she couldn't ask any more questions.

Deep down in her heart, she had a guess—when the teacher was in Italy, he had a close relationship with the Kingdom of Two Sicilies, and now the French royal family also has in-laws from the Kingdom of Two Sicilies—

The Duchess of Berry herself is the princess of this kingdom, and so is the Duchess of Orléans. They are still aunts and nieces in terms of seniority.

So from this level, it is possible for the teacher to get a little favor from them.

Of course, she couldn't get to the bottom of it, and she wasn't interested in getting to the bottom of it, so she could only change the topic to other aspects.

"Then what are you doing here today?"

"Let me watch the excitement and see how my apprentice became a social star sought after by everyone..." Bianka suddenly sneered.

Her words made Agnes blush instantly, "It's already like this, why do you still have to mock me? I'm already in a terrible mood tonight, just save me some face!"

Bianka looked at the disciple's frustrated look, and stopped laughing.

"Just this little blow, does it make you unable to hold on? I remember that your will is not that weak. Could it be that you have blunted yourself after being a lady for a long time in the past two years?" She asked back.

"It's not that serious, I'm just a little bit wronged...I obviously did nothing wrong, but I was treated coldly here and my wife reprimanded me. Can you tell me not to worry?" Agnes felt wronged He stared blankly at the teacher, and then told the teacher what happened to his wife just now.

Bianka listened with a frown, and slowly anger appeared in her eyes.

"How dare she mock you like this? It's ridiculous! What kind of lady is she? What does she know about a woman who has been pampered since she was a child? How dare she speak nonsense in front of you..." She cursed Madam unceremoniously, "I It can be seen that she is jealous of you, so she just finds an excuse to ridicule you and make fun of you."

"Teacher, be careful! What if someone overhears you?" Agnes was frightened, and quickly stopped the teacher from continuing.

She understood why the teacher was angry, because her hobbies and swordsmanship were cultivated by the teacher. Madam's denial of Agnes was naturally equivalent to denial of herself. How could the proud teacher stand this?

Suddenly, Agnes felt something was wrong. She keenly felt that the teacher was obviously lacking in life when speaking.And now the two of them are very close, with the help of bright candlelight, she can see that the teacher's complexion is not normal.

"You...are you injured?" She came to a conclusion that she couldn't believe.

Upon hearing this question, Bianka curled her lips, and a trace of anger flashed in her eyes. Of course, this was not aimed at the apprentice. "Did you see it? That's right, I did get hurt recently when I was fighting someone, but now I've recuperated, so it's okay."

"Who did it? How is he doing now?" Agnes was so surprised that she couldn't help but continue to ask, "The other party should be pretty powerful if he can hurt you."

In Agnes' mind, there are very few people who can catch up with the teacher's skills, so that opponent might be dead.

The anger in Bianka's eyes became more intense. She angrily picked up the wine glass, took a sip of the wine for herself, and then answered bitterly.

"It is indeed a very famous person, but he is also a despicable and shameless person. The guy was lucky and ran away for him."

"What?" Agnes was even more surprised. She didn't expect that the opponent who had severely injured the teacher could retreat completely. This was beyond her expectation.

Accompanied by surprise, she was inspired to fight high, and she suddenly felt a little itchy, "Teacher, who is he? Tell me, and I will avenge you!"

"This is my own business. It's not your turn. Who asked you to avenge me? I will do it myself." Bianka interrupted her impatiently, "Also, you don't care about my affairs , You shouldn’t get involved in these troublesome things, live your own carefree life.”

Although the teacher spoke very bluntly, Agnes could hear her secret love for herself, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

She vaguely felt that the teacher's purpose in returning to Paris this time might not be pure. Judging from the teacher's attitude, she should be involved in some major event.

What exactly is the big deal?Could it be that, like the Count of Monte Cristo, she was also involved in the political turmoil?

By the way... The Count of Monte Cristo!Agnes suddenly remembered the incident.

"Do you remember the man I mentioned to you?" She asked cautiously, "That foreigner, he has a very good relationship with my sister and brother-in-law, so I taught him a few things, and he wants to meet you skill."

"I have an impression." Bianka nodded, and then replied indifferently, "Well, if he wants to meet, he can meet, and I will wait for you at the old place."

The old place she mentioned was the residence where Agnes took the Count to when the Count came to Paris last time. After receiving her assurance, Agnes felt a lot more relieved.

How could Agnes have imagined that she would put her beloved teacher in danger—the Count of Monte Cristo was the teacher's dangerous enemy hidden in the dark.

Bianka agreed to the apprentice's request, but still seemed a little absent-minded, drinking from a glass while watching around with the corner of her eye.

An ordinary person might not be able to feel this abnormality, but Agnes has developed a keen perception since she was a child, so she easily discovered that the teacher was observing the surrounding situation.

Why did the teacher observe the palace carefully?Why did she come here secretly?

As far as Agnes knew the teacher, she was definitely not a person who liked to join in the fun, let alone that she would dance with a certain man present, that would be absolutely appalling.

So the teacher's motivation for coming here is definitely unusual.

Could it be... Which royal family member is she going to disadvantage?

Agnes asked the teacher why she was here just now, but was scolded by the teacher. She knew that if she asked again, she might offend the teacher, but the terrible guess in her heart made her heart thump.

She has received the education of being loyal to the emperor from her father since she was a child, and it is because of the favor of the royal family that her family was able to get rid of the impoverished life in exile—even though she was reprimanded by the Duchess of Berry just now, she still Retained respect for the Wang family.

And if the teacher is really detrimental to the Wang family, how should she deal with herself?

Because of this worry, Agnes forcibly suppressed the fear of the teacher in her heart, and boldly continued to ask her.

"Teacher, when you returned to Paris this time, you went to the palace on purpose. Why? You... Are you trying to harm someone present?"

This question made Bianka's eyes sharpen instantly. She stared at Agnes, while Agnes straightened her back and looked back at the teacher.

"What if I say yes?" asked Bianca, "Will you stop me?"

"I..." Agnes just opened her mouth, but found that she didn't know how to answer.

She has no position to call herself a loyal minister of the royal family—because not long ago, she went to Greece to help her brother-in-law and the Duke of Reichstedt participate in the Greek War of Independence, even if the teacher is really bad for the royal family , What position does she have to accuse?

"I... I'm just worried about you. The security here is heavily guarded. If you act recklessly, the consequences will be disastrous." After hesitating for a while, Agnes chose a detour, "Besides, you were injured before, I'm afraid you will Something went wrong..."

Because her tone was very sincere, the sharpness in Bianka's eyes became much lighter.

"At last you still remember that I am your teacher."

Then she sighed again, "Agnes, don't worry, I won't do anything stupid tonight, I'm not a lunatic, charging at the palace guards."

"Is it just tonight?" Agnes keenly sensed a trace of abnormality in her tone, "You...are you observing the palace for future plans?"

Bianka didn't answer, just watched her apprentice silently - and this meant that her conjecture was true.

Agnes was at a loss. She suddenly found herself facing a situation of extraordinary importance, and she didn't know what to do.

informer?Find the guards and tell them the teacher is up to no good?She can't do it.

But just stay out of it and let the teacher take risks in the future?

Originally, she had always been relentless, but now she was in a state of disarray, not knowing what to do.

Her bewildered and flustered appearance fell into Bianka's eyes, and Bianka couldn't understand this apprentice whom she had grown up with since she was a child.

"Agnes, you are such a difficult brat, you have been since childhood." Bianka sighed, then reached out and stroked the hair on her forehead, "Don't worry about so many nosy things, just live your own life well. Alright—don't look at the splendor and jewels here, but it's nothing more than a castle on the beach, which may collapse at any time. The Duchess of Berry is arrogant and domineering to you today. Looking back, I think she will feel better! It might be a good thing for her to reject, so that you don't have to have anything to do with them, and you don't have to bear any obligations inexplicably."

After being touched by the master like this, Agnes finally found a sense of comfort that she had not seen for a long time. However, what the teacher said seemed to make her feel vaguely familiar again.

"They won't be jumping for long." It was as if the arrogant young man said in front of him.

right!That's what it feels like.

Could it be that the teacher, like the Count of Monte Cristo, participated in the conspiracy of the Bonaparte family, so she came to the palace to scout for future actions?

Agnes suddenly felt a flash of inspiration, as if she had discovered the truth.

It's terrible...it's abominable...this hateful bastard, why did he pull all the people closest to me into the whirlpool!I really want to stab this bastard in the chest with a sword.

"Agnes?" Seeing that her eyes were wrong, Bianca asked.

"Teacher, could it be that you...you..." Agnes looked around and made sure that no one was observing the two of them before she boldly leaned over to Bianka and asked her in a low voice, "Are you Duke Reichstedt recruited? Are you working for him? If so... I advise you not to be deceived by him!"

"Huh?" Agnes' words caused unexpected consequences.

"boom!"

There was only a soft sound, which was the creaking sound of the fingers clenched in the fist.

Then, Agnes found that the teacher was staring at her with a demon-like gaze.

"How could you have such a stupid idea?"　　

124, Whereabouts and Conclave

"How could you have such a stupid idea?"

Agnes was puzzled by the teacher's stern response, but at least it showed that what she was worried about did not happen—the teacher did not have any collusion with the Bonaparte family.

That's right, I really thought too much, the teacher has nothing to do with the Bonaparte family in his life, how could he suddenly join them... Agnes is also a little funny, thinking that she is thinking too much.

It seemed that because of what that young man did, she was a little psychologically disturbed.

"Don't mind, I'm just guessing..." Agnes quickly apologized to the teacher, "You also know that recently the heir of the Bonaparte family caused trouble on the border, and it was quite serious, so I I'm just worried that he will make some troubles."

"Of course he thinks so." Bianka sneered, "If he can't be the emperor in this life, what's the point of living? It's just... things in the world are not so satisfactory, I think he may not The previous generation was so lucky, maybe exile on a desert island is also his inevitable fate."

Although she had a bad impression of Duke Reichstedt in her heart, Agnes was still a little unconvinced when she heard what the teacher said.

It's just that she is not interested in arguing with the teacher about this issue, so she just nodded silently.

"How is Alice doing?" Just then, Bianka asked another question.

"Sister?" Agnes hesitated, then nodded, "She's doing well."

No, it's actually not good at all.

Agnes knew better than anyone else that her sister obviously didn't have much affection for the Bonaparte family, but because of her husband's family, she was forced to get involved in the political turmoil in France and would face danger at any time—even though she was born in She is a famous family, but at this time she is already rebellious. If the Wang family knows what she has done, they will definitely not show mercy.

If her marriage is happy and her life is happy, all these sacrifices may be worth it, but Agnes vaguely feels that although Edgar is handsome and talented, his personality is just average. And it's not that kind to my sister, so... my sister's sacrifice may not be so worth it.

But what's the point of thinking about it now?She could only grieve for her sister in her heart.

"I heard that she married the son of a Bonapartist general?" Bianka continued to ask, "I always thought she was very smart, why did she lose her head this time? Follow those people, What a good result. Isn't she afraid of being caught in prison suddenly one day?"

"This is my sister's own idea, and I can only respect it." Agnes replied helplessly, "In addition, no matter what danger my sister encounters, I will do my best to protect her. You have to step over my dead body first!"

"You do have some backbone." Bianka smiled gratifiedly, and seemed to appreciate Agnes' will very much, "Don't worry, Alice is my first apprentice after all, and I don't want to What disaster happened to her, how casual her husband is, I will try my best to help her."

"Thank you, teacher!" Agnes was overjoyed.

"I heard she gave birth to a daughter?" Bianka asked again.

"Yes." Agnes nodded. "It was born last year, its name is Xia Lu, and it's only one year old now."

"is it beautiful?"

"Of course she is beautiful! She is Alice's daughter!" Agnes replied without thinking, "Not only is she beautiful, but she is also smart and cute. She learns everything quickly. I really like her—"

She really likes this little niece - it can be said that her sister's marriage is an unsatisfactory gray in her opinion, and Xia Lu is one of the few bright spots.

Suddenly she found that the teacher's gaze was a little strange.

She immediately understood what the teacher was thinking——

"No, no! Teacher, you already have such an excellent apprentice like me, so you don't need to have other apprentices. Xia Lu is my favorite child. When she grows up, I will teach her myself!" She immediately protested.

"You are too soft-hearted, how can you know how to teach apprentices." Bianka disagreed - she believed Agnes's words, Alice's daughter would definitely not be ugly, and she was definitely qualified to inherit her art.

She wandered around all her life, seldom communicated with others, and she was extremely conceited of her beauty, and she only wanted to pass on her swordsmanship to a woman who was equally beautiful, so as not to disgrace her reputation. At first she chose Alice, but in the end But because Alice was unwilling, she finally chose her sister Agnes—although Agnes is equally beautiful, she still has a little regret in her heart.

As she gets older, she feels that she has passed her peak period and is slowly declining, so she wants to end this regret—since she did not receive Alice, then let her daughter be a closed apprentice Seems pretty good too.

And hearing her words, Agnes remembered how the teacher "tortured" herself back then, and couldn't help shivering.

Although she admitted that it might be necessary, she didn't want her precious Xia Lu to suffer.

"Believe me, when have I ever let you down?" Agnes retorted boldly, "Besides, teacher, you are already old, and you should live in peace, why bother yourself? Now it's time It's time for the younger generation to work~"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" No matter how capable you are, age is always a taboo for women. Bianka suddenly raised her eyebrows and raised her fist as if to hit her apprentice on the head. "It seems that I can't do it without a lesson. It's getting more and more outrageous..."

However, although she looked aggressive, she hit Agnes on the head lightly, and Agnes didn't resist at all, just looked at the teacher with a smile.

"Okay, since you've said that, let Xia Lu be handed over to you, but I will pay attention to it in the future. If you teach too badly, don't blame me for not giving you face—"

"Yeah!" Agnes laughed so hard her eyes narrowed.

At this time, because of the reunion with the teacher, her heart was full of joy, and the depression and depression just now were completely swept away. She picked up the wine glass in front of her, and then looked at Bianka with high spirits.

"Teacher, let's toast!"

"Ghost girl." Bianka glanced at her disdainfully, but still picked up the wine glass and clinked glasses with Agnes.

In the center of the hall, people danced in pairs, and the band's performance resounded throughout the hall. The master and apprentice toasted and drank together in this resplendent world, but they also enjoyed themselves and were not moved by the outside world.

Agnes didn't drink well in the first place, and while drinking, her eyes began to blur. Although Bianka wasn't drunk, a blush inevitably appeared on her face.

For a long time, the teacher has always been a majestic, serious and arrogant image in Agnes's heart, but today she is dressed in fancy clothes, carefully put on make-up, and her hair is also carefully done, completely like a real lady So graceful and luxurious.

Although there are wrinkles at the corners of her eyes that cannot be concealed, they not only did not detract from her beauty, but added a bit of temperament to her after years of precipitation, and through the open neckline of her skirt, one can still see her white mountains and peaks Standing tall and strong, proudly resisting the wear and tear of time.

Agnes knew that although the teacher advocated swordsmanship, she was an Italian after all, and her cultural accomplishment was pretty good, but she didn't expect that after careful grooming, she looked pretty good.

She has always regarded her teacher as her role model, and now she admires her even more, and she only hopes that she can retain such charm when she gets old.

"Teacher..." After getting drunk, she immediately forgot to control herself, and said directly, "When I get old, I wish I could be like you..."
