Eagle’s Glory

"Little guy, cherish your luck..."

After hearing Letizia's inner thoughts, Cardinal Joseph Fish finally understood her intentions.

Yes, Princess Teresa's father is Archduke Karl, who plays an important role in the Habsburg royal family. Judging from the current historical experience, if his nephew and grandson really fail, as long as Princess Teresa intercedes and uses her father's help. His prestige, it shouldn't be a problem to leave his life for her husband.

This is also the bottom line in the worst case.

Thinking of this, he nodded again and again.

"If you consider this aspect, Her Royal Highness Theresa is indeed the most suitable..."

Today's powerful countries on the European continent, the French royal family is the mortal enemy of the Bonaparte family, and the Russian royal family is also an enemy. The British royal family does not need to think about it, so looking around, the Austrian royal family is really the only one that can accommodate young people. .

In this way, although Letizia is simple and pious, after all, she has lived for so many years and has seen so many winds and waves, and she can judge the situation and make a decision in an instant.

After reaching a consensus, he no longer struggled with this issue.

"Aigron must have come to ask us for help." The cardinal changed the subject. "Since he wants to start the family business again, he must be in urgent need of help—help in every sense."

"Then how do you think we should respond?" Letizia didn't answer, but asked him instead.

"Of course I will do my best to help." The cardinal replied without thinking, "My Cardinal of Lyon was appointed by his father. According to the principle of allegiance, since he is the only heir of the empire, then I will naturally also pledge allegiance to he-"

"You are very principled!" Letizia was noncommittal, just smiled slightly, picked up the glass and took a sip of fruit wine.

The cardinal didn't speak any more, but raised his head to look at his sister, as if waiting for the old lady's statement.

When he said such a string of words, he was actually implying his sister, "Everything you have is also given by His Majesty the Emperor. If His Majesty's heir needs help, you should also help..."

Unlike his older sister, who was in a negative mood, the cardinal was full of expectations for his nephew. He also hopes that this nephew and grandson, who has never met before, can revive the reputation of the family and do a great job.

Although the future is difficult, and he doesn't know if he can succeed, but life can only be lived once, and leaving no regrets is more important than anything else.

"You look eager to try." Letizia saw his brother's excitement, "I thought that after living in seclusion with me for so many years, you were too old to forget the past."

"I personally have no ambitions, and there will be no place for me in the church." The cardinal shrugged, "But he is different. I baptized him when he was born. I once baptized him. Like hundreds of millions of other subjects shouting long live the king of Rome! How lucky is one person to have such a glorious birth?

Although the empire has fallen, I am very pleased to see that the flame ignited by God in his heart has not been extinguished. He will work hard for this family to come to Europe again, and even give up all the glory that Austria has bestowed upon him! I admire this ambition, and maybe the final result is futile, but as long as he has struggled and struggled, at least his life will not be in vain. "

The more the cardinal said, the more excited he became. Even his eyes seemed to be burning with flames. He hadn't been so turbulent for a long time.

For someone like him who has touched the pinnacle of world power, it doesn't feel good to be forgotten by the world.

"Your speech is really touching, Joseph, but... I'm still hesitating." Letizia frowned.

"What are you hesitating about? What is there to be hesitating about?" The cardinal grinned. "We are all at our age, so what is there to worry about? Can you still tie your gold, silver and jewels to heaven?" Or are you afraid that the disaster will involve you again?"

"Don't say such things!" Letizia glared at him when his brother was so provoked.

"I am not reluctant to give up money or afraid of things. In 1815, I followed Napoleon to land in France from Elba Island and then marched into Paris. What was I afraid of at that time? I was worried. child."

"What?" The cardinal didn't quite understand.

"Actually, you're right. The money in my hand is all a gift from my son. I'm 78 years old, and I can't take it to heaven if I keep it. It stands to reason that if my grandson comes to ask for it, I will It should really be generous." Letizia nodded first, then sighed, "If he and Teresa get engaged and become an Austrian prince with peace of mind in the future, and then come to see me in Rome, I'd be happy to give a big one. money to run their family, because I know it will only make my children and grandchildren more comfortable in the future;

But now, the situation is completely different. He is going to carry out the most dangerous adventure, which is not as easy as the young people imagined! We haven't seen each other for more than ten years. I don't know what kind of person he has grown into, and I don't know whether he is relying on a moment of blood or he really has any plans. Running out to take risks under the pressure of supporters, it's really not as good as nothing, at least we can live to continue the blood of our family! In this case, the more help I gave, the more harmed him. "

Speaking of this, Letizia's eyes suddenly turned red, obviously thinking of the sad past, "Who in the world doesn't love their grandson? I hope he can live in peace more than anyone in the world. , instead of being sent to a desert island again and then dying in a foreign land."

When Letizia said these words, she sighed with sincerity, and the cardinal who stayed beside her all the year round naturally understood that this was her sister's heart.

As a grandmother, the safety of her grandson is more important to her than the empire and the throne that did not belong to their family in the first place.

"Then what do you want us to do?" he asked involuntarily.

"For the sake of safety, Agron can't come to see me now. Under the current situation, it's not good for me to suddenly run out of Rome to see him... So you go with the maid to find him, and then watch it for me. Look, what kind of person my grandson has grown up to now." Letizia said his plan, "If he has the legacy of his father, if he has the courage and wisdom, and knows how to achieve great things, then we will do our best. Do your best to help him, no matter whether it is successful or not, you should at least try; if he is not that material, then tell him to hurry up and find a place to live in incognito. now..."

"I understand." The cardinal nodded solemnly, "I will observe carefully, leave it to me."

"Besides, just tell him about Teresa's matter. He owes Teresa a debt of love. She is so deeply hurt that she is willing to stay with him. This is a rare opportunity for him. In any case, you shouldn’t just throw others aside with just a few pages of paper, it will be condemned!” Letizia added, “Tell him, I like Teresa very much, I am very Would love to see her become my granddaughter-in-law, and after me become the mistress of the family, if he still recognizes me as a grandma and wants my help, then the prerequisite is to reconcile with Teresa! I look forward to him and Tereza The days when Leza laughed together under my knees."

If it was before, the cardinal would be a little disapproving. After all, those who achieve great things always have to make some sacrifices. According to the standards of politicians, it is not too bad to abandon Teresa; but Letizia said herself After thinking about it in his heart, he agrees with his sister a little bit.

Letizia thought carefully and was not fascinated by the brilliant fantasy after success. Instead, she first considered how to seek a better end for her grandson if she failed.

That's not bad.

"Okay, I'll tell Aegron all these words." He nodded, "Then I'll go back to see Miss Noel."

Letizia nodded.

The cardinal walked to the door of the dining room, ready to go to the reception room.

"Tell Aigron that I love him and I miss him dearly."

At this moment, he heard the voice from behind and the suppressed whimper.

He didn't stop, just nodded silently.

At this time, Chanel was obediently waiting for the reception room, waiting for Her Majesty the Queen Mother and the Cardinal to meet him after breakfast.

After a while, the aged cardinal came over and looked at the girl kindly.

"Miss Noel, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

"This is what I should do." Chanel hurriedly saluted the cardinal.

"My sister's mental state is not good now, so I have entrusted me to handle this matter with full authority." The cardinal said gently to Chanel, "Now you can tell me what your Majesty wants to convey through you?"

Chanel looked around and made sure that no one else could hear it, and replied to the cardinal in a low voice.

"His Majesty has come to Rome in person, and is now living in a hotel outside the city. He very much hopes to see his grandmother, but under the current situation, he can't come here rashly, so he has to entrust me to come first. Tell Her Majesty the Queen Mother and you."

"I can understand Your Majesty's mood..." The cardinal sighed, "We are also very worried about his safety, and we are always praying for him. If my sister has anything to worry about in the world, it is mainly Iger. Long."

"I believe that the two Your Majesty will meet soon..." Chanel replied in a trembling voice.

The simplicity and kindness shown by Letizia just now made a deep impression on Chanel, and she was also deeply saddened that her grandparents and grandchildren could not see each other for the time being.

"What does he need us to do for him?" asked the cardinal again.

Since there are no unrelated people waiting now, Chanel will no longer hide it, but briefly state the current situation of Aegron.

"His Majesty has now occupied a small island with his supporters. He has recruited troops everywhere to expand his strength. For the next plan, he needs a lot of money, and he hopes to get some kind of contact with the highest level of the church. , if possible, it is best to find a direct way to His Majesty the Pope."

"Oh? Oh!" The cardinal listened to Chanel's introduction, both puzzled and amazed. "He's going to find His Majesty's way!? It's going to cost a lot of money."

"His Majesty thinks this is very beneficial, so there is no need to be stingy with money." Chanel replied, "He plans to form a volunteer army next to help Greece liberate and get rid of the Turks' rule. If the Pope can publicly praise this kind of Righteous deeds, then Christendom will applaud His Majesty as well... and His Majesty will be able to take the opportunity to fiddle with his wrists and get what he wants."

"Is that so?" The Cardinal was very excited.

"It does...it does work." After thinking about it, he made a conclusion. "It's a good plan, although it must have cost thousands of dollars."

"That's why your majesty is looking for you..." Chanel also laughed, looking at the cardinal, "Sir Bishop, I ask you to help your majesty, there are too few people he can rely on, as his close relative, please Be sure to help…”

The cardinal knew that he and Letizia could help his ambitious nephew, both financially and internally.

As close relatives, they also have every reason to help the younger generation in the family to restore the family's prestige.

And from the information I have now, it seems that the boy deserves help.

However, even now, the cardinal has not forgotten the painstaking effort his sister said just now.

"You are right, my sister and I will seriously consider it - but before that, can you let me meet with His Majesty for a while?" He made his own request, "After all, this matter is very important, and I and I My sister needs to use the most careful judgment to make a decision."

Chanel understood the other party's thoughts.

There is no basis for it, and now Aegron is asking the old sister and brother to sponsor his dangerous cause.

Even if he is a female liar, wouldn't he be defrauding a lot of money in vain?

"Of course!" Chanel nodded immediately, "I can take you to meet His Majesty. His Majesty told me before I left, and he is always waiting to see you and Her Majesty the Queen Mother."

"Very good, so be it." The cardinal smiled with relief, "I am looking forward to meeting with His Majesty, maybe you don't know, I presided over his baptism at the beginning, and I watched it with great honor. He applied holy water to his body - from that moment on, I expected him to stand on the shoulders of his father and achieve the most brilliant career... Although fate played a bad joke, but I am very happy to see him continue to be fight for it."

Next, he was in a good mood and nodded to Chanel again, "As soon as I saw you, I thought you were an assertive and clever girl. Having you by His Majesty's side will definitely help him a lot. "

"You have won the prize..." Chanel replied embarrassedly, "I still have too many shortcomings. I should be a little more powerful for His Majesty."

The cardinal was silent for a moment, then spoke again.

"Okay, it's not too late, let's go there as soon as possible."
