Then his eyes fell on Agnes, who also bowed to him.

"Sir...goodbye."

"It's too troublesome to call me Mr. always?" Aigron asked with a smile.

"...If you want me to call you Your Majesty, it's hard for me to say it." Agnes replied distressedly.

"It's okay, I won't force you to call me that, anyway, I'm not the real emperor now." Aigron shook his head indifferently, "But you can call me Aigron in the future—this is what my friends call me."

Agnes thought for a moment, then nodded.

"That's not bad—" She happily waved to the young man again, "Well then, Eggron!"

Then, she suddenly blinked again, "In the past few days, I have also figured it out."

"What figured it out?" Aegron asked back in surprise.

"Empire, kingdom, Bonaparte, Bourbon, orthodoxy, restoration—it's too troublesome and complicated, and I don't understand it at all. If I don't understand it, then I don't need to understand it at all! Waste that time with Why are you playing this kind of game! There are so many interesting things in my life that I haven't experienced, so why bother?" Agnes put her hands on her chin, and then let out a long breath.

Then, she looked confidently at the distant sky, and said loudly to the young man, "No matter how the situation changes, I am who I am, my family, my cherished family and those people will not change. What's the difference? If my sister is in danger, I will take my sister to escape and escape from France; if my parents are in danger, then I will do the same thing! I know I am not omnipotent, but I will do my best to protect my family, If I really want to face the disaster of extinction, at least I will fall in front of my sister or them first, since then I have nothing to regret... I don’t know much about other things, but as long as I stick to this one, it’s enough , I believe that I can have a clear conscience when I see God!"

As she spoke, Agnes' eyes flickered, obviously she was speaking from her heart.

After hearing this, Aigron couldn't help admiring and sighing.

Seeing her family members standing on opposite sides, although she was unwilling to choose sides, she was determined to give everything.

The family division caused by party confrontation, is it not those who suffer the most who don't know how to be good?

Should she be said to be innocent and innocent?Or should it be said that she lived a transparent and pure life instead?

Maybe both, it just depends on how you look at it.

"Very touching words, I believe God will give you white wings after hearing it." He solemnly replied to the girl.

Then, he held out his hand to Agnes, "Agnes, goodbye."

Agnes hesitated, then reached out and took his hand anyway.

"Goodbye!" She shook the young man's hand vigorously, and looked at him aggressively, "Don't accidentally die before you see me, I'm still waiting to defeat you!"

"Agnes! How can you talk like that!" Hearing such impolite words, Alice quickly scolded her sister, but Agnes turned around and walked into the carriage.

"Sorry, Your Majesty, Agnes is still young, she has been used to being wild since she was a child, and she doesn't know how to be polite..." Alice quickly apologized to the young man for her sister.

"It's nothing. I put her in such a big risk. She just complained a few words, which is already very good for me." Aigron shook his head. "Alice, please don't blame me for putting you and your husband in danger - because there are things I have to do."

"I understand...I don't blame you, but I sympathize with you." Alice replied with a wry smile, "God put you on a burden that is too heavy, and I can only pray that you can carry it without being overwhelmed." .”

"I enjoy this heaviness." The young man looked at the sky and replied.

Mr. and Mrs. Treville looked at each other, then they saluted him again, then turned and walked into the carriage.

Aigron stood where he was, watched the carriage start slowly, and then left the farm.

When he was about to leave, the car window opened, and Agnes held out her hand and waved to him gently, while the young man waved goodbye at the same time.

Then, the speed of the carriage increased, until finally it disappeared on the horizon.

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

After bidding farewell to the Trevilles and their party, Aigron himself will leave Switzerland and start a new journey he planned.

Before parting, he purposely left the farm where he had been hiding for a long time, and came to visit and bid farewell to Queen Odance's villa.

Queen Aotangsi dressed up and received her foster brother and nephew grandly.

"Goodbye, Your Majesty the Queen." Aigron said goodbye to her respectfully, "Please take care of yourself."

"My dear child!" She pulled the young man into her arms, and hugged him tightly. "I live in seclusion here and have nothing to do with the world. What else do I need to take care of? But you... You must take care of yourself. I don't want to hear bad news about you again. I'm afraid I will be heartbroken. "

While speaking, the corners of her eyes were already filled with tears.

She is not playing on the occasion, but thinking from the bottom of her heart—after all, not only this long-lost nephew, but also her own two sons will bid farewell to her again, leave Switzerland, and follow their majesty to the new journey.

The essence of the younger generation in the family is about to leave her side and go to a distant place to face unknown risks. How can this make her not worry about it?

"Don't worry, I'll take care." Aegron patted her on the back, comforting her in this way.

After hugging for a long time, Queen Otangs finally regained her composure and let go of her embrace.

Then, she looked up at the portrait of Napoleon hanging on the wall, and then looked at Eggron and said solemnly.

"May God and He bless you. Your hard work and sacrifices will not be in vain."

Although she had too much fear and melancholy in her heart, she knew that since nothing could be changed, it would be useless for her to say discouraged words, it would only make everyone unhappy.

So she can only do her best to help these ambitious young people, and then - pray to God for them.

There's only so much she can do.

Then, Queen Otangs signaled Egron to wait for her, then turned and left, and walked into her bedroom.

Not long after, she came back again, and at this time there was an extra box in her hand.

"I promised to sponsor you, Your Majesty." She walked in front of Aigron, and then said to the young man, "During this time, I have been entrusting a reliable middleman to sell my property and raise cash as soon as possible. Although it took a lot of effort due to the rush of time, it was finally settled before you left."

After finishing speaking, she handed the box to the young man, and motioned for him to open it.

Aigron opened the box, and was immediately dazzled by the jewels inside.

In addition to jewelry, there are a bunch of bills inside.

"I have made up enough property equivalent to 30 francs, just as I promised you." Queen Otangs explained in a low voice next to him, "If it is exchanged for gold and silver coins, it will be too eye-catching first, and second, you It was not convenient to carry, so I had people change it into jewels and promissory notes and bonds. These promissory notes were issued by the most famous bankers in Rome, and could be cashed easily all over Europe without leaving a name. I I think it should be very convenient for you to use—”

Queen Otangs was really considerate. You must know that the gold content of one franc is 0.29 grams, so if you bring gold coins, 30 francs are about 87 kilograms, which is really inconvenient to carry and too easy to expose.

Eggron's breathing became heavy.

Obviously the weight of the box was not heavy, but at this moment he felt that his hands were shaking a little.

Is this a gift for yourself?

When he first asked for "sponsorship" from Queen Otance, it was actually with the consideration of a loyalty test, and wanted to see how much respect she had for Napoleon and how much she cared about the Bonaparte family.

Facts have proved that Queen Otangs passed the test, not only trying to ensure his safety, but also raising sponsorship funds for him with the most cooperative attitude.

This is the first sponsorship he has received. There is not only money in the box, but also more precious family affection and expectations.

This is really something that has to be given back.

"Thank you for your support, you will always be my beloved person." He was moved and thanked her.

"Your best thanks to me is to let you and my two unworthy sons survive in peace." Queen Odance replied with a smile.

Then, she raised her skirt again and solemnly saluted the young man.

"Your Majesty, I wish you all the best."

The young man held the box in his hand, straightened his waist, and stood in front of his wife, declaring his confidence and determination to her with a proud face.

Yes, it's time for me to start my new journey.

Nothing in the world can stop me anymore!  

20, the direction of the heart

The distance between the sun and the sea level is getting closer and closer, and the clouds all over the sky are also burning, turning bright red.

The sparkling sea was dyed red, and the waves became turbulent, as if it had been boiled to the point of boiling by the setting sun, and it seemed that the sun was not willing to be trapped by the sea god and was struggling hard.

It wasn't until the moment when the sun finally hid under the arc of the sea that all this calmed down, and the busy port of Genoa entered the night like this.

Although it was already night, the port was still busy, with cargo ships, passenger ships and fishing boats still in constant flow, wanting to dock on the European continent at the last moment.

And at this time, at a corner of the port, there was still a group of people clustered on the shore, as if they were waiting for something.

They anxiously watched every move on the sea, and took out their pocket watches to confirm the time from time to time.

At the center of the group was a young man in sailor clothes.

At this moment, he was looking at his cousin Louis beside him.

"Is there any problem with the customs?" When he asked, his eyes had already set on the fort of the port in the distance.

The dark muzzle above is facing the entire harbor, enough to see the actions of all ships at a glance.

Obviously, if the fort opened fire on the pedestrians, their fate would probably not be much better.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the smugglers here have a tacit understanding with the people at the customs. As long as they don't show off, the people at the customs won't meddle in their own business." Louis explained to him in a low voice, "The port officials also have to support their families. As long as the money is enough, they all know what to do."

"Then they won't have any doubts about our identity?" Aegron felt uneasy, and then asked again.

"Hi! For them, they are customers who have given money, and they don't care who we are. Even if it is Judas himself, they will happily send it away." Louis smiled disdainfully.

Aigron smiled lightly at this nondescript metaphor.

He knew what the other party said was true, but it was always right to be careful in everything.

The group of them set out from Switzerland, after a long journey and overcoming various difficulties, they finally crossed the border between Switzerland and the Kingdom of Piedmont, and then came all the way to the port of Genoa.

Louis grew up with the former Dutch King Louis Bonaparte in Italy since he was a child. For the great cause of the restoration of the empire that he was thinking about, he had contacts with people of all kinds and religions. It was through his own network that Louis caught up with smugglers in Genoa. line, and then bought a smuggling boat through a middleman as a tool for them to sneak into the Mediterranean Sea.

Today the ship will come to the port to pick them up, and the sailors on the ship will continue to be employed by them to lead them to the intended destination.

This is indeed a huge expenditure. Fortunately, Aigron has just received a sponsorship of 30 francs from Queen Otangs, which is enough to cope with it.

Because of this, he was very grateful to Queen Otance for her valuable help in his difficult start.

But it's still too early to talk about rewards, he can only finish what he should do step by step.

While he was still thinking about it, a dim light suddenly appeared on the distant dark sea. The light flickered three times shortly, and then flickered three times for a long time.

"Here we come!" Louis shouted excitedly in Eggron's ear.

With the flickering of the fire and the closeness of the distance, Aigron was able to roughly see the outline of the ship in the night—this is a multi-masted sailing ship. Although the hull itself does not look large, it carries their group People are certainly more than enough.

From such a distance, you can see the graceful figure of the mast covered with sails. Italians like to compare sailboats to beauties, and Aigron can probably understand the reason.

Eggron was also overjoyed, but he maintained his superficial composure, and then he looked at Charlie next to him.

His cousin also understood, and quickly lit the oil lamp that had been prepared a long time ago, then covered it with a cloth, and rhythmically used the light to signal to the opposite ship.

Not long after, there was movement on the other side of the boat, and several small boats were released from the boat, and then they approached the shore in the dark, and finally stopped at the beach.

Aigron didn't waste any more time, but beckoned to Chanel, motioning for her to get on a small boat with him, and then a dozen other people boarded the remaining small boats together.

After everyone boarded the small boat, the sailors on it started to row. In the slight shaking, Aigron sat on the small boat and saw the lights on the shore gradually moving away from him.

This also means that the European continent is gradually moving away from him.

But he knows that he will come back eventually, because this is his stage.

The sound of the sea was still there, covering up all other sounds. In this silence, the boat carrying Aegron and Chanel approached the side of the ship, and then the rope was lowered on the boat, and Aigron and Chanel climbed up together. up the boat.

Aigron stood at the bow, took a deep breath of the salty sea breeze, and then turned his head to take a last look at the European continent.

"Let's go!" Then, he ordered decisively.

"Let's go!" Louis also loudly gave orders to the sailors on board in Italian.

Under the control of the sailors, the sailboat turned slowly, and then sailed away from the port of Genoa under the blowing of the sea wind, carrying the young people towards a new future.

The sails are full, the night is bleak, what is the direction of the heart, how can we be hesitant?

Under the cover of night, the sailboat sailed quickly through the sea, and after a simple dinner, Aigron summoned his two cousins ​​and Chanel to the captain's cabin.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Louis asked with concern as soon as he saw that his face was not looking well.

"I'm fine..." Aegron reluctantly shook his head.

He forgot a very important question—whether in his previous life or this life, he had never been on a boat, let alone sailing in the sea.

So, it's no surprise that he was a little seasick just a few hours after setting sail.

After eating dinner, he felt even more uncomfortable and almost vomited out, but he still pulled himself together, and with the help of his tenacious willpower, he didn't let himself lose his composure and maintained his due dignity.

It's just seasickness, and you'll get used to it sooner or later.

"I want to talk to you about my specific plans for the future." He suppressed his physical discomfort and looked at his cousins.

"Then what are your plans?" Louis asked after looking at his pale face.

Aigron gestured for them to come closer to his table, on which was a chart he had bought in Genoa.

This nautical chart is expensive, but it is worth the money. It shows the locations of various ports and routes in the Mediterranean Sea, as well as the islands in the sea.

"As I said before, we can't be floating on the sea all the time, we have to find a place to settle down. Considering that no country will welcome us, we'd better find an island in the Mediterranean Sea to stay temporarily." Aigron said.
