Eagle's Glory

The emperor didn't trust him during his lifetime, and he never thought of reusing him, and he also lacked interest in "helping the royal family". Used in pen and ink text.

Today, although they are only in their twenties, they have been married for almost 10 years and formed a big family early. As members of the royal family, their children naturally participated in the funeral and were at the end of the queue.

Although he stands here, he seems to be isolated. Although he grew up here and formed a family here, he will always look like an outsider.

Aigron didn't feel bad about this alienation, he was used to it, and for him, it was much more interesting to live alone and devote himself to the spiritual world of literature than to participate in the political life of this country. He had Teresa by his side. The side is also satisfied.

He looked up again at his grandfather who was sleeping with his eyes closed in the coffin.

Even now, Aigron doesn't have much respect for this grandfather in his heart, but since everyone is dead, what's the point of worrying about the past with him?

I wish you the best of luck, Your Majesty.Aigron recited silently in his heart, which can be regarded as fulfilling the obligation of a grandson at the last moment.

At this moment, Aigron suddenly felt his heart beating faster. He instinctively felt that he was being watched. He quickly turned his eyes away and looked in the direction of the eyes.

Then, he was stunned.

Right next to the coffin, a lady was watching him.

This gaze is both cold and gentle, angry and tolerant, reproachful and comforting, as if lamenting and sighing, and as if weeping, Egron has never seen a person's eyes that can contain so many meanings at the same time.

He knew who she was and why she saw him the way she did.

Although there was a distance between the two of them, her sharp gaze seemed to have split time and space, penetrating directly into his soul.

Under her gaze, his soul was trembling because of being pierced, and the memories buried deep in his mind also spewed out crazily, making him dazzled and making his originally indifferent heart , suddenly beating rapidly, and even breathing became short of breath.

"Your Highness, are you alright?" Teresa asked her husband's condition in a low voice with concern, while pulling her husband's hand just right, turning his body to her side, avoiding the sight from afar.

"I'm fine, Teresa." Aigron woke up suddenly, knowing that he must not lose his composure in such an occasion, he quickly collected himself, and answered his wife with a wry smile, "I'm sorry, the grief in my heart makes me unable to control myself."

"Mmm, yes!" Teresa nodded, completely accepting her husband's words, "This is an unbearable blow for us, but we should muster up the courage to face the future, just like this country. Your Highness, No matter what happens in the future, with me by your side, you don't have to worry about anything..."

The intimate conversation between the couple fell into the eyes of the noble lady, and she also turned her eyes away, but a sneer of disdain leaked from the corner of her mouth.

The funeral was still going on, and during the lunch break, the participants had a rare time to breathe. In the afternoon, the emperor's coffin will be sent to the mausoleum for burial, and the empire will officially bid farewell to its previous owner.

Aigron didn't have much appetite today, but not because of grief, but because of his preoccupation.

He wasn't worried about what would happen to the political situation of the empire after the new emperor succeeded to the throne—it had nothing to do with him anyway, and with his father-in-law around, he wouldn't face any danger.

He just didn't know what would happen to her in the future?

After recovering from his preoccupation, he found that he was almost full from the meal.

"I'm going to the bathroom." Aegron said softly to Teresa.

"Your Highness, come back early." Although this was normal, Teresa seemed to be serious, and specially told her husband, "My children and I are waiting for you."

"Well, I know..." Eggron nodded.

Then he got up and left.

Under the guidance of his attendants, he walked out of the hall and walked between the halls.

He is too familiar with this place, because he grew up here, even if he moves out after getting married, he can still recognize every plant and tree here.

Everything that is familiar is still there, but the inside has already changed beyond recognition.

The person who was by his side at that time and helped him selflessly had already left him—or, to be more precise, he had already left her.

Looking at the familiar scenes and long memories rolling in his mind, Aigron found that his chest was getting tighter and tighter, and he was almost out of breath.

It seems that I still drank too much at noon...

The attendant did not lead him to the bathroom, but opened a door next to him as he passed a corridor, and then bowed to invite him in.

Aigron didn't take a step immediately, he took a deep breath, as if he was afraid or hesitating.

But in the end, he still took that step, and then walked into the dimly lit room.

The door was slowly closed, and the light became even darker. In the midst of the floating shadows, a figure quickly rushed towards Aigron.

She was wearing a skirt, and during this movement, the skirt of the skirt fluttered along with it, and the speed was enough to show how desperate she was and how impatient she was!

Aigron was caught off guard and was hit, almost fell, and managed to stabilize his balance by supporting the short cabinet next to him. Then, a scent of fragrance penetrated into the tip of his nose. This familiar yet unfamiliar breath , causing his chest to throb suddenly, and the corners of his eyes became sour, and he almost shed tears.

Then, he was hugged tightly.

She pressed against his body tightly, as if she wanted to melt the two of them together.

She buried her head in his arms, breathing greedily, making up for her lost time.

"It's finally over, ten years of torture!" Madam said, shedding tears, "The torture that I thought had no end in sight, turns out that there will be an end after all, Eggron... we will be free soon! "

Aigron knew in her heart that she was indeed qualified to say that.

She was the daughter-in-law of the late Emperor Franz, and mother of the emperor's only grandson.

After the emperor's death, the crazy crown prince Ferdinand succeeded to the throne, and he was destined to be sterile, so this grandson was bound to become the heir to the Habsburg family and the throne.

Because of this, at the moment of the emperor's death, the wife's status will also rise, and now no one can suppress her in the court.

With her character, she will do whatever she wants.

[Settings, in this world line, Christel was born as a boy (so she is not called by this name anymore), and became the only grandson of Emperor Franz I. After the crown prince succeeded The only nephew, that is to say, the future destined heir of the empire. 】

Obviously, as long as you please her, you will have great influence in the court, and then you may gain power or get a lot of wealth.

However, for Aigron, it doesn't matter anymore, he already has something more important than these - the most happy family.

Aigron couldn't hold back the familiar aura, but he managed to pull himself together.

"Madam, although it is not appropriate to congratulate you on this sad day. But... I am really happy for you from the bottom of my heart to see that you have finally come to terms with your hardships, and I wish you all the best in the future."

This sentence was sincere, but Madam did not feel any joy when she heard it. She raised her head and looked at Aigron in disbelief, as if she saw some ghost.

"Grief? When has there ever been grief? This old thing should have died a long time ago, so he died too late! He entrapped us to what we are now, I wish he would go to hell as soon as possible!"

After she finished speaking, she raised her hand again and held Aegron's face, "My darling...no one can hinder us anymore...we are free!"

As if to prove her words, she grabbed his head with both hands and pressed it down, actively bringing him closer to her towering peaks.

The familiar white peaks occupy a larger and larger area in the realization, and Aigron's heart beat wildly.

Even after all these years, her body still held a great attraction for him.

But, right outside, Teresa is waiting for you, and the children...

A voice suddenly came to mind, making him freeze.

"Madam, we can't do this..." he said in a weak voice, then he raised his head forcefully, away from the pair of snow-white peaks, then he looked at Madam and reminded her seriously, "Don't forget, today is the day of the Empire National mourning, if there is any accident, it will be a disaster for both of us."

Madam froze all of a sudden, she never thought that when she hugged him again many years later, she would get such an answer.

The huge blow made her body tremble.

"How can you talk to me like that? You...!" She raised her brows, and then glared at Aigron angrily, "Have you forgotten everything about us?"

"I have not forgotten, and I will never forget." Aigron shook his head, and then answered her helplessly, "But now, time has passed, and you have a bright future, which will definitely determine the fate of this country ; and I have my family..."

"Family! Damn family! Your family is just something that old bastard fooled you. It's a chain that binds you, and it's just a disguise of silk!" Madam interrupted him angrily, "Your own Don't you know? What they did to you, and what they did to me? Aegron, your real family is here... in front of you, she longs to be with you, her dry heart needs Your moisture...can't you feel it?"

Every word the lady said made Aigron feel a throbbing pain in his heart.

He knew that over the years, the two of them had paid very little.

But... On the other hand, what he got was enough, at least for now.

"Maybe, it is indeed a chain, but Teresa loves me very much, and my children are also very cute. They are enough to make up for the shortcomings in my heart, and I am not dissatisfied with the current peaceful life." Aigron replied, "Madam , for me, what this country has given me is enough."

"Is it enough? What about me?" The lady sneered, and then asked him loudly, "What about me?! Where does the future in your mind put me? You plan to take me as a price with peace of mind, and then Go enjoy your leisurely life in seclusion, Mr. Great Writer?"

"No! I never thought about it that way." Aigron quickly denied. "I just think... now it's good for us, we shouldn't add more danger to each other."

"Yes, or not, it's up to me to decide now, and I will have the final say on this empire in the future!" Madam replied firmly. "And my decision is...you have to be by my side!"

With this announcement, the tenderness, helplessness, and pleading that were applied to her skin at the beginning have all faded away, the frowning brows, the eyes that are glaring, and the realization that the anger in the eyes can almost burn everything, They all revealed in detail the arrogance and arrogance in the princess's bones.

Then, she stretched out her hand again, grabbed Aigron's tie, and pulled it down stubbornly, "Listen...Aigron, we have paid enough, and we finally got today, don't you think Have you ever had resentment, have you ever had regrets? I know you must have, I know you so well, I am the person who understands you best in the world! And now, it is time for us to make up for our regrets, no matter how we make up for it... we Don't waste any more time..."

While speaking, she took a slight panting sound, and a blush slowly appeared on her face, obviously she had begun to be emotional.

And with her performance, another person slowly fell into it.

Hearing this familiar voice, smelling this familiar breath, and looking at her face, all of this made Aigron suddenly bewildered, and the pressure on his neck made his brain suddenly go blank. After he came to his senses, he had already kissed his wife.

The madam greedily asked for it, and almost stopped breathing. Although he felt helpless because he was "confused for a while" again, he was soon dazzled and invested in it.

After a long time, the lips of the two separated again.

"Hmph, you said it so coldly, but I knew that you would never forget it." The madam had messy sideburns, but she still looked at him triumphantly, as if she was showing off her charm and conquered this bastard again.

Eggron looked away guiltily, and he admitted that he really couldn't forget it.

How many exciting and intimate memories they had left back then!

Moreover, although this charming time has come to an end, it is far from over.

Madam looked at him intently, then pointed to a bed next to him.

"Aigron... come on, let's enjoy our time alone."

Aigron shook his head quickly, "We don't have much time... His funeral is about to begin!"

"We still have half an hour." Sophie replied stubbornly, "Enough!"

Then, she curled her lips again, showing a smile full of resentment and cruelty, "Aigron, we will use this to see off the old man's ascension to heaven, and thank him for taking care of us for so many years, wouldn't it be great ?"

Aigron knew that she was not only out of physical needs, but also to vent her anger and desire for revenge. She just wanted to trample on the dignity of the Habsburg family in this way, so as to vent the anger accumulated in her heart for many years .

What an arrogant and unrepentant woman...

The ten years of suffering did not wear down her will, on the contrary, it only made her accumulate more resentment in the repression, and after the day she was vented, this resentment would turn into an even more terrifying desire for revenge.

She has never repented, and never will.

Of course, neither did Aigron—even today, he has never had any regrets about his affair with her back then.

But the remaining rationality let him know the consequences in case of being exposed, so he tried to persuade his wife.

"Your Highness... don't be willful, it's too dangerous now."

The madam didn't answer him, but just watched him silently, her smile was a little playful and full of charm.

"My darling, it's because of the danger that it's exciting, isn't it? Didn't you know the danger when you seduced your aunt? Or, these years have worn away your will and courage? No... no, my Eggron will not change, he will die as a young man full of resentment and courage, he will admit defeat, but he will take revenge! Maybe he will use a lot of gentle manners and Sanctified words to pretend and deceive myself, but I know that Eggron is Eggron, and it will not change...Come on, my dear, don't you know that time is running out? Let me love you... My heart..."

These calls, like a heavy hammer, struck Aigron's heart, and seemed to be slowly breaking the shell of his heart.

Yeah, I'm me...and she's still her.

His heart slowly ignited a flame, and that flame was also burning in her eyes.

Since time is running out, what are you waiting for?

He picked her up suddenly, and then threw her heavily on the bed amidst her coquettish laughter.

When he thought that this was the imperial concubine, the future empress dowager, he could only feel the blood flow in his whole body speeding up.

Amidst the heavy sounds, the past and the present seem to overlap, as if nothing has changed. The emotional barrier caused by their ten-year separation was shattered almost instantly, and the two souls blended together again.　　

151, farewell and guilt

After meeting with King Otto, Eggron told the other party that he only intended to create a crisis but not actually go to war, which made the young king secretly relieved.

Of course, Aigron would not reveal his real purpose of playing tricks, but only said that he wanted to show toughness to the people, establish his image as a protector, and gain prestige.

And King Otto happened to have the same need for this. After knowing that he didn't have to face the real risk of war, he was immediately moved. I hope to be loved by the people as soon as possible, and there is no better way to get the love of the people than to provoke hatred.

Why not get the support of the people without paying the consequences of the war?

Therefore, under Aigron's deliberate guidance, King Otto was soon tempted. He sent messengers to frequently discuss plans with the staff he brought over and those who stayed in the capital, hoping to obtain Get a little benefit from the Duke's actions.

Time is slowly passing by, but Eggron is not in a hurry. Anyway, his original intention is to put on a posture and waste time. King Otto's delay gave him more room for insight, and he is more leisurely. .

To pass the time, he and King Otto started hunting together outside of official business. It was autumn, the sun was shining, the temperature was warm and comfortable, and the animals had fattened up for half a year. It was the best hunting of the year. season.

The two people who were very excited gathered together from time to time, and then rushed into the nearby mountains with a large group of followers, the birds were startled and scattered, and the gunshots continued-the harvested game was naturally a lot .

Not only Eggron was in high spirits, but King Otto was also very happy about it. This 13-year-old boy was already at the age of fun. When he stayed in Athens, he could only live with a straight face every day because of too many scruples. Now that I have come to the border, there are no idlers around me, so I am naturally happy to let myself go and enjoy the rare leisure time.

In this way, the two kings spent their days happily hunting and celebrating, and the followers around them also enjoyed the fresh air in the countryside, and for a while they all felt reluctant to leave.

However, business matters cannot be delayed after all. As time passed, King Otto and his cronies gradually communicated a unified opinion, and decided to take this opportunity to hitch a ride and "join the grand event" with Aigron. Make a big splash in order to win the hearts of the people.

On the one hand, after the long war of independence and the previous hundreds of years of bloody rule, the Greeks have hated Turkey to the extreme. As long as he can put on a posture to challenge the Turks, King Otto will definitely win the cheers of the people;

On the other hand, if King Otto took the risk of being a picky eater himself, he would definitely not dare, and he did not know what the consequences would be. But now that the Duke of Reichstedt is taking the lead, with the prestige and ability of the other party, he can naturally Keep the situation under control so that nothing unexpected happens.
