Eagle's Glory

"Hurry up! Here we come!"

Naturally, the midwives should not be negligent, they immediately rushed up and surrounded Teresa, while Chanel pushed the wheelchair from the side, ready to send Teresa back to the midwifery room.

Aigron looked at Teresa, whose face was pale, feeling distressed and frightened.

He has faced moments of life and death in his life, but even in the most dangerous moments, he has never been so disturbed-he can't imagine how it would feel to lose Teresa suddenly.

But he had to pretend to be calm and not give Teresa a negative mood.

"Teresa, it's going to be okay." He squeezed Theresa's hand tightly, and then cheered her up.

Tears welled up in Teresa's eyes, and a little blush suddenly appeared on her face, then she nodded lightly, and answered Eggron in a weak but firm tone.

"Yes, Your Highness, everything will be fine, wait until I come out with the child..."

After she finished speaking, she was helped into a wheelchair and pushed into the midwifery room.

Aigron could only stand outside the door, quietly waiting for fate to judge him.

Even though he told himself countless times that nothing would happen, he couldn't calm himself down and wait.

I was so anxious that I couldn't sit down at all, so I could only keep wandering outside the door, and none of the people next to me dared to touch His Majesty's bad luck at this time, and they all stood by the side without daring to vent their anger, and they were silently thinking about the two of them. Your Majesty prays.

=============================

After the door was closed, Teresa's originally calm face disappeared immediately. She no longer concealed her pain, but moaned softly, and her originally pretty face gradually became distorted.

The throbbing pain in her stomach made her feel as if she was being cut back and forth by a knife.

It's not that she is ignorant of this kind of pain. She has already asked her mother about her experience, and she has already prepared herself psychologically.

But when she really experienced this kind of pain, she realized that the so-called psychological preparation was so pale and ridiculous.

However, she has no regrets.

She fought against her fate and came to today, on the road to happiness. Mere pain cannot stop her. She firmly believes that she will be able to overcome difficulties this time, and God will definitely stand by her side.

The first child, whether it is for the couple, or for their supporters, is too important, and he will never tolerate his own mistakes.

"Poor child, you must come into this world smoothly and safely..." She groaned while silently shouting in her heart.

Soon, Teresa's consciousness began to be a little blurred, and the pain was like waves, hitting her wave after wave, without even giving her a moment to breathe, she could only grit her teeth and endure it, she couldn't bear it It moaned when it stayed.

She didn't understand why God arranged such suffering for women when God designed human beings. Maybe it was to let a mother experience the hardships of giving birth, so she cherished her children more?

In any case, she could only endure, her consciousness began to blur, and she almost lost her coherent thinking.

Time passed in the midst of raging waves of pain and moaning. She couldn't hear what the nearest person next to her was saying, but only watched their every move with the help of blurred vision.

Aegron stood outside the door, listening to the groans coming from inside, and his heart was also throbbing.

Suddenly he thought of another thing——

This is not his first child, so when Sophie gave birth to her daughter, what kind of pain should she face?

It must be more painful than Teresa now, right?

He suddenly had an urge to cry.

He is indeed guilty of the heinous.

Teresa kept moaning for an unknown amount of time, when suddenly, an unprecedented pain hit her, she could no longer speak, her eyes were closed tightly, and then she yelled out loudly.

"Ah!!!" Accompanied by this scream, her whole body twitched, and then she collapsed stiffly onto the bed, as if she had been possessed by a demon.

There was an exclamation from the side, and then a shout of joy, but Teresa's consciousness was almost blank at this time, and she just heard what seemed to be the cry of a baby in her ears.

"Your Majesty, I gave birth! I gave birth!" The voices of the midwives next to me seemed to be heard from thousands of miles away, and they were not real at all. "Congratulations, it's a boy! It's a boy!"

There was a lot of excitement in this voice, obviously, to them, the meaning of a boy was very different.

The same is true for Teresa.

She earnestly hoped that her first child would be a boy—this was a political need, and the Bonaparte family desperately needed an heir to show the world its continuation and inheritance.

And now she got her wish...

Thank God!She muttered silently in her heart.

Then, relieved, her whole body was soaked, she felt exhausted, she let out a long sigh of relief, and then fell into a lethargic sleep.　　

153. Anxiety and Baptism

The news that Aigron and Teresa gave birth to their first son and that the mother and child were safe quickly spread throughout the city of Ioannina, and then spread to the entire European continent at an alarming speed.

Princess Teresa lived up to expectations and gave birth to a son, which means that the Bonaparte family will have the next generation of heirs. There is no doubt that this troubled family will continue tenaciously. Strive for the emperor's dream.

However, as the center of this storm of public opinion, Aigron and Teresa were much calmer. They calmed down, enjoying the rare time away from worldly affairs, and enjoying the fun of being parents.

For Aigron, this is not his first child, but it is the first child born under his witness, crying beside him, and even his first legal heir. Of course, the feeling is completely different.As for Teresa, needless to say, as a first-time mother, she almost regarded her son as her lifeblood. Even if she was weak and recuperated in bed, she was reluctant to let her son out of her sight.

From time to time, she asked the servant to bring her infant son in front of her, and then looked at him with a smile on her face. Even though she was only a 17-year-old girl until now, seeing her smile and when she faced her son With the radiance on her face, no one would doubt that she would become the best mother.

Because of the birth of the heir, the civil and military officials of the Principality were also beaming. Letters of congratulations poured over to Aigron, but of course Aigron didn't have the interest and time to read such nonsense. These letters were all handed over to him. Secretary Leon then wrote back to them formulaically one by one, thanking them for their loyalty and encouraging them to continue to serve the Bonaparte family in the future.

After the child was born safely, Aigron also personally wrote letters to his grandmother in Rome and his father-in-law in Vienna to announce the good news. On the one hand, he shared the joy of his couple with them; preparation for the itinerary.

According to their original plan, Teresa will leave Ioannina with the child for her father's estate about a month after the birth.

Seeing his wife's postpartum weakness, Egron couldn't bear it, so he proposed to delay for a while, but Teresa insisted on the original plan. She thought that she should not delay His Highness's trip—and she also had a little baby For my own selfishness, if I leave in December, I will be able to catch up with returning to my hometown on Christmas Eve.

Since Teresa insisted so much, Aigron had no choice but to obey her opinion.

During this period of time, he has always been by Teresa's side, helping her to recuperate her body and enjoy the warmth of the family.

At his current age, he is still a young man, but he has already shouldered too many expectations and responsibilities at this time, the reality will not allow him to treat himself as a young child anymore.

Teresa enjoys the sweet days when her husband is by her side and takes care of her meticulously, and she is extremely satisfied with her current life. She only feels that she has no regrets in this life and has obtained all the happiness she wanted.

She was already in an extremely happy mood, and there were maids around to take care of and take care of her at any time, so her recovery speed was naturally very fast.

After resting for a period of time, Teresa was gradually able to get out of bed and walk around, but Aigron did not dare to neglect, and stayed by her side all the time, just taking her for a walk in the small garden outside the house every day to breathe fresh air.

It's winter, and most flowers don't bloom at this time, but it's not a problem for Teresa - her favorite flower is heather, and to please her, there are natural flowers in the garden here. Also planted a lot of heather.

This kind of flower that blooms in autumn and winter happens to be the most blooming time of the year. When Aigron accompanied Teresa strolling in the garden, the surrounding pink flowers bloomed brilliantly, and the thin air floated in the air. Teresa couldn't help being intoxicated by the fragrance of flowers.

"Your Highness, how beautiful this place is!" Teresa couldn't help saying to Aigron.

"Indeed." Eggron agreed. "Such a scene can make people forget the bleakness of winter."

"It's a pity that we will bid farewell to this place." Teresa sighed with a little regret, "After living here for a while, I have a little affection for this place."

"It's a bit of a pity, but the land we will have will definitely make you linger even more." Aigron replied with a smile, "And, no matter where we are, our garden will be full of flowers you like."

"Hmm!" Teresa was both ashamed and happy, feeling extremely sweet in her heart.

At this moment, she already has everything she wants, and the door to the future is slowly opening to the couple. What else does she need to be dissatisfied with?

There is only one thing left to say about dissatisfaction.

She looked at the slender flower branches swaying gently in the breeze, then lowered her eyes, looked at her waist, which was obviously thicker than before, and sighed secretly.

During her pregnancy, what she was most afraid of was that her original slim figure would be ruined by childbirth, but after her son came to the world with peace of mind, she no longer worried about the child, so she naturally focused on this point.

The more she paid attention, the more anxious she naturally became.

"Your Highness, I...have I become ugly?" She asked her husband in a low voice, "I feel much fatter than before."

"Teresa, I assure you, you look great now." Aigron naturally shook his head repeatedly, "Your charm is far more than those noble ladies now, being a mother not only does not detract from your charm, but makes you Bright and radiant."

Then, he pretended to look lewdly at Teresa's neck, "Besides, the place where you gain weight is not mainly in the waist, but in a more exciting place... Teresa, By the way, the two of us have been abstinent for a long time, do you want to find a time..."

His words were quickly interrupted by the shy Teresa with her small fist, but she couldn't help showing a grin. Obviously, Aigron's words were very useful to her.

Seeing that she was still so attractive in her husband's heart, Teresa was also secretly relieved, but she still made up her mind that she must exercise more when she returned home and lose weight as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, the scenes of her life at home in the past suddenly appeared in her mind. At that time, she often rode horses, fished, rowed boats, and tidied the garden. People are nostalgic!

She knew that as her identity and status continued to change, she might have fewer and fewer opportunities to do these things in the future, and this time when she went home, she could just take the opportunity to relive the fun of the past.

She was secretly glad that she got a chance to go home to visit relatives - if His Highness could make the trip with her, it would be perfect.

Unfortunately, the reality is not so perfect after all.

But who knows what the future holds?Perhaps one day, His Royal Highness will come there with him, to the place where the two of them are related, to relive the beauty of the past.

Maybe the two of them will never be able to turn back into a boy and girl again, but those memories will always remain in my heart and last forever.

She buried her small thoughts in her heart, and then hugged her husband tightly, greedily absorbing the warmth of winter from his body, enjoying the leisure that only belonged to the two of them.

==================================

As time passed, Teresa's body became healthier, and her son survived the initial crisis and survived in good health.

After receiving the report from Aigron, the grandmother Letizia, who was far away in Rome, sent her own brother, Cardinal Fish, to the Principality of Ioannina by boat.

On the one hand, he was asked to congratulate the great-grandson on the birth and give the great-grandmother a gift; on the other hand, he was also in charge of the little baby's christening.

After the Cardinal came to Ioannina, Egron and Teresa naturally received the arrival of the uncle with the greatest courtesy.

Seeing his nephew, the elderly cardinal, of course, was filled with emotion.

When Aigron was born, he also presided over the baptism ceremony. At that time, the empire was at the peak of flowers and flames. Paris fired a salute for his birth, and the whole empire was also celebrating it. What a magnificent scene ? !

No one expected that in just three years, the child would turn from a Roman king to a prisoner in prison, and the empire he was destined to inherit had also been wiped out.

Then, no one expected that more than ten years later, this child would get rid of the cage again, and fight against fate unremittingly. Although he no longer rules a vast empire, he already owns a piece of land after all, and he is no longer that Poor wretch who can only be at the mercy of fate.

Fate is impermanent, indeed fate is impermanent.

The cardinal knew that he could not do much to help his nephew. He could only give the child his best wishes and best wishes, wishing him all the best in the future and his dreams come true.

I also wish my great-nephew to have the best destiny and not to experience the desperate situation that my grandfather and father once fell into.

After the cardinal brought him, Egron summoned all his important servants who were still in Ioannina to the cathedral in the city to hold a grand baptism ceremony for his son.

The guards surrounded the church tightly, and in the church, everyone sat on their seats with solemn expressions. Their eyes were all on the altar of the church, and Cardinal Fish was also wearing his own cassock. Standing in front of everyone, waiting for that moment.

Accompanied by the roar of the salute, the baptism ceremony just started. Teresa walked up to the cardinal with the baby in her arms, and then handed the baby to the cardinal.

The cardinal took the baby carefully and unwaddled him.

Although he was already very attentive, his wrinkled hands still made the baby cry. Teresa felt distressed when he heard it, but she could only watch helplessly.

The old cardinal stared at the baby. In a trance, he seemed to have returned to Notre Dame de Paris 17 years ago—at that time, he was holding the baby in the same posture in the same ceremony. father's.

Everything is as it was 17 years ago, as if history is repeating itself, but the audience has changed, and the location has come thousands of miles away.

Can I still see the splendor of Notre Dame?

He couldn't help but glanced at Aigron who was sitting on the seat.

At this time, the young man was full of energy and vigor, as if he was full of confidence in his career, and there was boundless energy and ambition in his body.

Maybe he really can.

May you succeed, my children!

He meditated in his heart.

Then, he put the crying baby into a golden basin filled with holy water.

Although the water was warm, the baby cried louder when it was placed in the water, and the old man couldn't help but feel distressed when he heard it.

It's just that the ceremony is a ceremony after all, and it must be completed meticulously, so he hardened his heart, holding a gold cup with trembling hands, continuously scooped up holy water from the basin, and then poured it on the baby's head and body , to symbolize that the baby is bathed in the grace of God and becomes the Lord's devout people.

Everyone didn't make a sound, just watched the ceremony quietly, the atmosphere was solemn and solemn, only the loud cry of the baby and the sound of water flowing reverberated in the church.

After about ten minutes, the cardinal stopped, which also meant that the ceremony came to an end.

The cardinal spoke his last words in the clear but dull tone of an old man.

"Almighty Lord, by the power of the Holy Spirit, through the baptism of water, the Holy Spirit, and fire, give new life to your people; guide your believers, and serve you with faith and love forever ,Amen!"

"Amen!" There was also a tidy shout from the audience.

At this time, the salute outside the church sounded again in due course, and amidst the continuous roar, the baptism ceremony was also announced to be completed.

The baby was quickly removed from the holy font, wrapped in warm swaddling clothes, and returned to its mother's arms.

Teresa looked at her crying son distressedly, hugged him tightly, and kissed his wet forehead.

And Aigron also stood beside her, looking at his son.

"Maybe I'll win it all for him, and he won't have to go through what I went through..." he murmured, "but must it be good for him?"

He has no answer to this question. As the saying goes, born in sorrow and die in peace, but how many parents are willing to let their sons take the initiative to experience "sorrow"?At least Aigron has no such interest.
