Eagle’s Glory

Today's Prince Charles, as usual, stayed in his room and worked hard with his pen and ink.

He had always had the habit of writing, and of course, compared to his brilliant cousin, he didn't have the literary talent for writing poetry and articles, and he liked to write political treatises and personal diaries.

When he wrote his notes, he was meticulous and meticulous, not only recording his own experiences and seeing and hearing, but also mixing a lot of personal comments and opinions.

He intends to write a memoir after his old age, like those big men, and there is no doubt that what he is recording now is the best material at that time.

Today, however, his work was inevitably halted because there was a soft knock on the door of his room.

He covered the notebook subconsciously, then carefully stowed it in the drawer, then turned around and asked.

"who is it?"

"It's me, Your Highness." A response came from the door.

He immediately heard that it was the voice of the little maid beside His Majesty.

I don't know how His Majesty fooled her in front of Teresa... An ambiguous smile appeared on his face subconsciously, but he soon calmed down.

Then he opened the door and found Chanel standing in front of him with a serious face.

"Is there something wrong, Chanel?" He tried to show his most humble smile and said to the maid.

"His Royal Highness, Princess Teresa, please come over and talk." Chanel replied with her head lowered.

Although her tone was calm and respectful, Charlie's heart suddenly froze, and his face changed a little.

The reason why he reacted so violently was, of course, because he had always had a ghost in his heart.

Ever since he learned of the news that His Royal Highness Teresa was about to go to the island, he had always had a hunch that something bad was going on, but his cousin insisted on going his own way, and no one dared to dissuade him, so he did not dare to speak out, and could only watch her helplessly. on the island.

Originally, it didn't matter if she came to the island, it was just because he had a nominal mistress, but what he was most worried about happened - his cousin trusted Teresa so much that he actually put her in charge as soon as he came up. all your finances.

And this also means that Teresa will soon find out what she has done, and she is not so easy to fool.

It was because he felt that something was wrong, so after Teresa went to the island, he deliberately provoked the relationship between Chanel and Teresa, hoping to use this to confuse the water. It is best to prevent the two of them from cooperating. He can also get temporary safety, and then find a way to solve the problem.

However, it seems that his plot has failed again, and he doesn't know what happened in the middle, but he can clearly see that Chanel and Teresa get along pretty well, at least on the surface Chanel is respectful and obeys Teresa's All assigned.

So he didn't have any other tricks at once.

"Is something wrong?" he asked tentatively.

"It's just some ordinary business issues, you don't need to worry about it." Chanel replied.

broken. Immediately, he secretly cried out in his heart.

From Chanel's performance, he knew that this matter had already happened, and Teresa had really discovered it.

His face instantly became very pale, and there was a little cold sweat behind him.

He looked behind Chanel subconsciously and found that there was no guard behind her.

That is to say, if he pushes Chanel away now and runs, it can be done.

It's not that he didn't make such preparations. As long as he runs now, he can immediately find a small sailboat on the island and flee.

But only a second later, he rejected the idea.

get away? Where can you escape to? What do you do after you escape?

If he flees, he will inevitably suffer the wrath of His Majesty. Next, he will declare what he has done to all the supporters of the Bonaparte family, and then expel himself from the family. At that time, although he can rely on some Money lived a prosperous life, but was politically dead and could not have any future at all.

With great ambitions, he certainly cannot accept political death and become a lonely ghost.

So in just a split second he made up his mind.

You have to keep your position in the family - so no matter what you face next, as long as you can barely pass the test.

"Okay, I see, let's go." He tried his best to squeeze out a normal smile, and then nodded.

"Please come with me." Of course, Chanel didn't know that His Highness had flashed so many thoughts in a short period of time. He turned around and took him to Aegron's usual reception room. This time, he sat on a chair. It's Teresa.

As soon as he saw Teresa, Charlie didn't dare to come out, and immediately bowed respectfully to her.

"Do you have any orders, Your Highness?"

For Chanel, who is a mere maid, although he is respectful on the surface, he is quite disdainful; but for Teresa, it is completely different - his "His Royal Highness" has long been just an empty shell, only the Bonaparte family. Only someone from within the supporters of , but Teresa is completely different, she is a real princess, so standing in front of her, Charlie's subconscious momentum is a little short.

"You are too unfamiliar like this, my brother." Teresa replied with a smile, "I said before that you are His Royal Highness's brother, so I will respect you as my own brother, you don't have to be so restrained, so It made me feel embarrassed-"

Charlie laughed awkwardly, not knowing how to answer.

Of course he couldn't take Teresa's words seriously, but since she said so, he couldn't help but show it off.

Fortunately, Teresa did not embarrass him, but immediately entered the topic, "I asked you to come over, in fact, there are some questions I want to ask you. Please come over—"

She waved, and Charlie obediently walked to the desk.

Then, he saw an open account book on it.

It's over... He knew right away that the situation was over.

But he could only bite the bullet and pretend that nothing happened, waiting for the judgment to come.

"I wrote some of my personal comments on this account book. Please pick it up and take a look. If there are any mistakes, please give pointers..." Teresa pointed to the account book and continued to indicate.

Charlie could easily hear that His Highness Teresa was obviously out of breath, and her cheeks were still blushing, but he couldn't care less about it now.

He picked up the account book with an uneasy mood, and turned it page by page.

Soon, he could see sweat dripping from his forehead, because many of the problematic transactions above were specially marked by Teresa, and he also gave an estimated price difference. Charlie compared his memory one by one and found that almost all of them were written by her. Exactly.

So sharp!

At this point, he knew that it was useless to say any more, and it was obvious that everything had been mastered. Today, she called herself over for a showdown to ask her for guilt.

Although he could insist that Teresa had no evidence, what was the point of that?

He put down the ledger and looked at Teresa with a pleading look.

"His Royal Highness, I am very satisfied with your vision, and I can't give any pointers."

He is not afraid to beg Theresa for mercy, as long as he can get rid of the crisis, he is not afraid to beg a woman.

"In other words, you admit that you are really getting rich, right?" Teresa looked at Charlie with a calm expression, and then asked, "So how much did you take? Where did it go?"

"The amount is about the same as what you guessed." Charlie sighed, "As for the use... I squandered most of it, some for personal expenses, and some for my friends."

"I really didn't expect you to do such a thing!" Teresa frowned, and then began to scold the other party, "You keep saying that you want to revive the family, but you act for your own selfishness whenever you have the opportunity, you Is this worthy of His Highness’s trust? Is it worthy of your own identity? Don’t you feel ashamed?”

Being reprimanded by a little girl face to face, Charlie was of course full of anger, but the situation was better than others, so he could only bow his head and apologize to Teresa.

"His Royal Highness, please forgive me... I was confused and obsessed for a while, and I made such an excessive move, and I myself regret it very much. I am ashamed of Your Majesty and betrayed his trust, I am sorry! I really don't know how to face it. To Your Majesty..."

"You don't have to worry about this, I haven't told Your Highness yet." Teresa replied in a low voice, "Your Highness is so busy right now, I don't want him to lose his temper over this kind of thing. Besides, I'm afraid that such a shameful thing will spread out. It doesn't look good either."

Your Majesty doesn't know yet?

Charlie breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like he was being forgiven.

He has a feeling that his cousin is on his back now, and if his cousin really arouses anger, he doesn't know how to fight it.

As long as the cousin doesn't know about it, that's fine.

At least judging from Teresa's tone, she hopes to keep quiet and solve the problem quietly.

- Of course, he didn't know that Teresa said that only because Aegron had instructed her.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" He immediately thanked Teresa, "I really cannot express my gratitude to you in words."

"Language is inherently weak. If you really have the sincerity to solve the problem, take action." Teresa was not affected by his excitement, but narrowed her eyes slightly. imply your own meaning.

Of course Charlie knew that since he had reached this point, he had to take practical actions to make up for his mistakes, and it was impossible to get away with it.

"I will try my best to fill the gap, but it will take a while." He gritted his teeth, and then made a promise, "Please be a little more lenient."

Seeing that he finally made a real commitment, Teresa's expression finally eased a little.

This step is enough. Since His Royal Highness does not want to completely break with this cousin, then there is no need to continue to persecute.

"Anyway, you are His Highness's cousin after all. We are all a family. I don't want you to be too ugly, so... let's solve the problem in another way."

"What do you mean?" Charlie asked immediately.

"I told His Royal Highness that our family is thin and we need everyone's concerted efforts to overcome difficulties together, but this does not mean that all family members must be selfless. You, like everyone else, have your own objective needs--" Lisa replied in a low voice, "So, in my opinion, part of the previous shortfall was indeed your reasonable expense, and I don't want to force you to go bankrupt immediately, but you must recognize this shortfall and make up for it later. "

After speaking, Teresa picked up the pen and handed it to Charlie, motioning him to open the account book.

"Make every transaction I write with your own name on the back, and write this is what you owe."

Charlie's eyes widened immediately.

In fact, there is no need to be so complicated at all. It only needs to calculate the general ledger and let him sign it. Teresa is deliberately asking him to sign everywhere, which is almost humiliating.

He looked at Teresa pleadingly again, but got no response, apparently this was the last grace.

Suddenly, he recalled some old memories in his heart.

Very good! An Austrian woman has climbed on top of us again to show off her power!

At that time he was very young and had not yet felt that anger and pain, and now, his whole heart was shaking with this anger.

But now, he can only swallow his anger, because the situation is not conducive to him, Teresa has the evidence of his crime, if she is reported to His Majesty, then she will lose everything.

So he could only bow his head and admit his fault.

He picked up the pen and wrote his name tremblingly behind every handwriting on Teresa's account book, completing the punishment given by Her Royal Highness the Princess.

This name, which he was usually proud of, was so shocking to him at the moment, it made his eyes hurt.

There was a dead silence in the room, only the light rubbing of the pen and paper. After an unknown amount of time, he finally completed his work and signed his own name wherever Teresa asked.

"His Royal Highness, I did as you asked." With a sense of exhaustion, he looked at Teresa again.

It should work now, right? he asked in his heart.

Teresa was silent, took the ledger, flipped through it, and put it aside.

"Very good, so I have no opinion. As long as you know your mistakes and can correct them, you are still our beloved brother after all, and I will respect you as before." Then, she smiled slightly, but this smile could not be seen. How kind, "I hope you can take a lesson from this next time and stop playing tricks. If there is another time, I won't be so easy to kill. I think you will be able to think clearly about the consequences then?"

"I understand, Your Highness." Charlie couldn't say anything more at this time, he could only nod his head, "I will definitely make a change and do my best to serve Your Majesty and you from now on."

Theresa looked at him without speaking.

Charlie froze for a moment, then suddenly understood. "I will definitely obey your orders in the future. If anyone dares to disrespect you, I will not spare him!"

"Okay, then I don't have anything to say, I wish you all the best--" Teresa waved her hand gently, signaling the other party to leave.

Charlie, who was covered in cold sweat and was close to collapse, finally left this sad place with anger, unwillingness and joy.
