Eagle’s Glory

Theresa sat on the chair, watching the back of His Highness's cousin leaving, until the other party disappeared and the door was closed again, the solemnity and majesty on her face suddenly disappeared, replaced by tiredness and dazedness.

Chanel, who had been standing in the corner without saying a word, silently watching the whole situation, finally couldn't hold back anymore, hurriedly walked to Teresa, and asked worriedly.

"Your Highness, are you alright?"

"I... I'm a little dizzy, probably because I've consumed too much energy. In order not to let him look down on me, I can't show any timidity in front of him." Teresa closed her eyes slightly and replied in a low voice.

Then she reluctantly raised her head and looked at Chanel, "Chanel, how did I behave just now? No shame?"

"You behaved very well..." Chanel replied sincerely, "No matter your wording and attitude, you are impeccable. I think that His Royal Highness will definitely remember this lesson."

"Probably just let him be honest for a while, but that's enough." Teresa replied with a wry smile. "Since His Royal Highness doesn't want to break up with my cousin, then we can only do this. Alas, a family is a family after all, what can we do?"

She blinked, finding herself still dizzy, and then staggered to her feet.

She tried to take a few steps forward, but found that her footsteps were light and fluttering, basically unable to grasp the balance, and took a few steps staggeringly.

Chanel panicked and quickly supported her shoulders.

"Your Highness, are you alright?" she asked again.

"I'm just too tired, I'll just take a rest." Teresa smiled bitterly, "Okay, help me to rest - Chanel. It looks like it's over."

Just then, the door suddenly reopened, and a young man strode in.

Of course, there is only one person here who is qualified to do so.

"Your Majesty!" After seeing the young man, Chanel felt relieved and stepped aside.

Agron stepped forward and supported Teresa himself.

"I just saw my cousin leave." Aegron said with great interest, "I've never seen him in a state of utter loss, which is very interesting."

"His Royal Highness, in order to establish majesty, I can only reprimand him severely and make him humiliated." Teresa replied, "I hope you will not blame me for destroying the harmony of the family in the future."

"Family harmony! Oh, I never knew the Bonaparte family had such a thing." Aigron shrugged nonchalantly, "Teresa, you are doing the right thing, and I asked you to reprimand him, You are just executing my will, how can I blame you for this? To tell you the truth, I have severely reprimanded his father before. All in all, there are many rebellious people in our family, and I have to take them out I can't be overwhelmed, if I can't be overwhelmed, I'd rather be exiled, and I'll never make the mistakes of my predecessors!"

Having said that, he looked at Teresa again, "However, Teresa, I didn't expect you to be so skilled. You can suppress him so easily without me teaching you."

"Actually... When I was in Austria, I had already thought about how I should treat him, so I had already prepared myself mentally." Teresa laughed a little embarrassedly, "At that time, for your future, I once thought about bringing your cousins ​​to Austria to help you, and then I thought, everyone in your family is rebellious and ambitious, and if you want to dominate them, it is absolutely impossible to just relocate. Yes, it is necessary to properly display authority, and even forcefully suppress it when necessary.”

Although Teresa's words were obviously meant to criticize the members of the Bonaparte family, but Aigron didn't take it seriously. It should be what he thought.

But... he remembered something else.

Teresa had already thought about the married life of the two of them so far away at the beginning. I'm so pitiful that she is so infatuated.

It's a pity that I am... ah, forget it, don't think about it, the things that have passed are gone, just find a way to make up for it.

"That's right." Aegron nodded in approval, "Teresa, since you've already figured it out, I have nothing to say."

It's not surprising to think about it, after all, he was born in a royal family, and he was fascinated by his father since childhood. With Teresa's intelligence, it is not uncommon to learn these things without a teacher.

"His Royal Highness, please don't think that I am obsessed with power... For me, establishing authority and instructing others are just 'things that need to be done' - I will do it when I need it, I don't do it for me I feel happy about it, and don't care about the luscious taste of power...because I'm so used to seeing it, it's not something I'm looking forward to."

As if feeling what Aegron was thinking, Teresa said seriously. "What I enjoy is the joy of being by my sweetheart's side and doing 'necessary things' for him, which can be anything - if you asked me to live in seclusion in the country, then I would clean up the study and I'll be equally happy when I'm writing the manuscript! Maybe I can't prove it, but I think you can feel my heart, because it's already overflowing..."

"Yes, I know... Teresa, you have proven this to me countless times, even if I am blind, I should see, so you don't need to say any more." Aegron replied moved, "rest well. Well... I have never doubted your motives for everything you did for me, and I will not in the future, I just hope that I can have the opportunity to repay you."

Teresa's current weakness can be seen with just a glance. She is already sick, and she has to work hard to cope with her cousin, which is really frustrating.

"You're repaying now." Teresa smiled slightly, then leaned gently on his shoulder, enjoying each other's tenderness. "Give me more in the future, more..."

Then, she leaned against him like this, squinting her eyes as if she was asleep.

"Your Highness, I have another proposal." After a while, Teresa said suddenly.

"What?" Agron asked.

"Since the expedition is imminent, I think it is best to give your subordinates a generous reward before the expedition, which can boost their morale and make them work harder." Teresa said softly, "However, now I also I know that your funds are tight, so, I think, let's just give out all the cash in my dowry, it's pointless for me to keep those anyway..."

"Teresa..." Agron didn't know what to say for a while.

"Not satisfied, Your Highness?" Teresa raised her head and asked with a smile.

Before leaving Austria, she remembered that her mother had taught her two lessons, one is that you must master financial power;

She obeyed the first half, but she did not intend to obey the second half.

She knows what her mother thinks - her mother is worried that she has made the wrong choice. She keeps the money, at least it can give her a buffer, and if she regrets it, she will have time to retreat; It is considered to be of no use value and will no longer be valued.

However, based on her understanding of His Highness and her experience with His Highness after going to the island, she let her aside these concerns.

She knew that His Highness was someone who knew how to appreciate kindness, and the more loyal and selfless she was, the more moved His Highness in her heart.

In the same way, she set an example with great selflessness, and this selflessness can also become a weapon that she advertises, and no one can accuse her of being an Austrian since then.

Mom wants her to leave room, but she doesn't want to leave room for herself, because she just wants to go all the way.

If the road is clear, she can see the scenery she wants to see the most; if the road is dead, she will also clench her teeth and jump down to be buried for her decision.

At least from the current point of view, she is very satisfied with the results she has obtained. His Highness acknowledged her status and only accompanied her by her side, and that was enough.

From the beginning of the confrontation with her father, she used her own hands very calmly to erase her own leeway and retreat one by one, just so that she could follow a path to the end.

What kind of determination this is, and whether it is right or wrong, can only be witnessed by future history and the gods in the sky.

And she will never regret it.

"I'm satisfied, Teresa..." Aigron's voice trembled with emotion, "but I don't think I should do it, because it's yours..."

"I believe you will repay, don't you?" Teresa interrupted him with a smile, "Okay, let's do it this way, we will have enough time to settle the account slowly."

"Yeah, there's always enough time, and there's still a long, long time." Aegron sighed, then nodded lightly, and gratefully agreed to Teresa's proposal.

He couldn't help lowering his head and kissed his fiancée.

"I'm still cold, Your Highness..." Teresa was afraid of infectious diseases, so she hesitated, but her little struggle was quickly relieved, and she had to close her eyes and enjoy the warmth of the two.

Although they are only sixteen years old, the identities and education they have carried since birth made them much older in spirit than their actual age, and they also had many more ingenuity and thoughts that their peers did not have.

But even so, in the depths of their hearts, there are still some traces of young girls and dreams.

There are also some poetic and magnificent imagination.

After the kiss, Aegron pondered with joy.

He also wanted to cheer up Teresa, who was still ill.

So, how to make this literary girl happy?

Aigron used his ever-wise brain to search for every possible inspiration.

After a while, a flash of light flashed in his mind - there it is!

"Teresa... have you heard of the Parthenon?" he whispered.

"Yes, of course I've heard of it." Teresa nodded.

Then, she sighed again, "Unfortunately, I heard that it has been badly destroyed, and only a ruin is left."

Yeah, how could she have never heard of it?

The temple on the limestone hill, the highest point of the Acropolis, Greece, was built for Athena, the goddess of wisdom, art and military affairs. It is an unparalleled architectural and artistic treasure of ancient Greek civilization. I know, and I'm fascinated by it.

However, she also knew that after two thousand years of time and the baptism of war, there was only a fragment of ruins left, only the pillars and sculptures remained, and she couldn't help but sigh.

"When we get there, how about we go for a walk together?" Aegron suggested.

"Of course." Teresa nodded immediately, "I'm looking forward to it."

"So..." Aigron smiled, then asked casually, "Do you expect us to simply renovate it and then hold the wedding there?"

The atmosphere suddenly froze, Teresa froze for a moment, and then looked at the young man beside her.

"Why, are you not satisfied with my proposal?" Agron asked.

"No... I'm very satisfied with this proposal, Your Highness." Teresa responded immediately, and then nodded heavily, "I couldn't be more satisfied... Thank you for taking the trouble to satisfy my preferences..."

If it was an ordinary girl, when she heard that her fiancé actually proposed to hold a wedding in a ruined ruins, she would be angry, but for Teresa, who likes romance, this is an unparalleled booster. , so that her eyes, which had been blurred by the fever, suddenly glowed.

Seeing Teresa's reaction, Aegron was also secretly delighted. It seemed that his inspiration was not in vain, and Teresa really liked it.

For him, since he had decided to marry Teresa, it didn’t matter where the wedding was, after all, it was just a ceremony—but Teresa was definitely different, the girl’s heart was full of dreams, She must have imagined all this countless times.

In this case, it is better to make her happy, after all, this is the treatment she deserves.

It stands to reason that Athena's priesthood does not have the term "in charge of marriage", and the word Parthenon also means "virgin", so the Parthenon does not seem like a suitable place for weddings. , even a bit deviant.

But who cares?

The goddess Athena couldn't protect the overthrow of Athens' hegemony in the hegemony between Athens and Sparta, nor could she prevent Greece from being conquered by foreign races. What could she stop Aegron and Teresa?

So Lady Goddess, for the sake of saving her people, why don't you just obediently witness your marriage to Teresa.

"Okay, then it's settled." Aigron waved his hand proudly. "When everything is over, let's use this to commemorate our union and let everyone cheer for us!"

"And on that day, Your Highness... I will swear to the gods in the dark that I will accompany you and spend all happiness and sorrow. The boundary between life and death, I will jump over to follow you with a smile, and go to the other side of eternity..." Theresa whispered with tears that came unexpectedly.
