Eagle’s Glory

"I'm not afraid of him..."

Seeing her sister's reaction, Alice couldn't help but snicker.

Agnes has been arrogant and arrogant since she was a child, and has never obeyed anyone, and her glorious record has also increased her self-confidence and pride. I am afraid that in her eyes, no one of her age can compare to her.

After encountering the young man, the two of them fought against each other without a fight, and her self-esteem was seriously threatened, so she was even more reluctant to be convinced.

But this does not mean that she hates that majesty, on the contrary, it may be a kind of respect and fear - if it is the same as those defeated generals, Agnes may be too lazy to mention it.

"You don't need to say these words in front of me. You must never say them in front of my husband and my father-in-law... After all, they are all followers of His Majesty." Alice told her sister again, "Also, even if it is for Ed Plus, you have to respect him too, Agnes, I'm not kidding you, it's a very serious matter."

"Okay, okay...I understand." Seeing her sister's lectures, Agnes had no choice but to change her tune, and she spread her hands in a dashing manner, "Don't worry, I'll be very respectful to him! Is this the head office? Really? You are so frightened now that he hasn't returned to China, why? God knows whether he will be able to restore successfully, as far as I can see, it's still a long way off!"

Alice just pretended not to hear her sister's complaints.

She knows very well that the Marquis of Treville has long been excluded from the royal family and the government because of his political stand. Although he is not yet fifty years old, he has lost all his future, and this family is also falling. .

And the only one who can change this situation is that young man.

As long as he can really restore the empire and ascend to the throne, the dark clouds over the Treville family will immediately dissipate, and their loyalty will be rewarded enough to flourish.

It was like in a betting game, the Marquis of Treville had put all his bets on the Bonaparte family, he had no way out, and he could not allow him to take a step back.

Although Alice doesn't have much desire for power, since her father-in-law has made this decision, she can only follow along.

Only then can her husband and her children have a place in the future.

Alice didn't intend to explain these words to her sister. All she could give Agnes was an ambiguous and gentle smile.

"Agnes, his victory is our victory, so we can only pray for his victory."

After the two sisters talked for a while, there was a soft sound from the door of the room.

"Edgar?" Alice interrupted the conversation and looked towards the door, then a smile appeared on her face. "You're back."

"Honey, I'm back." Edgar walked in, and then he looked at Agnes next to him, "Agnes, good afternoon."

"Good afternoon." Agnes also greeted her brother-in-law respectfully.

Edgar, who had just been taught a lesson by his father, was of course in a very bad mood at this time, but after seeing the sisters, he immediately hid his annoyance in his heart and greeted them with the brightest smile.

"I just got an instruction from my father." He walked over to his wife, and kissed her cheek diligently. "He asked me to go to Greece right away to serve His Majesty, and he thought our family's future depended on it. ."

"Actually that's my opinion, Edgar," Alice replied with a smile. "I was still advising my father in the morning. I know it may be a little uncomfortable for you, but please bear with us for a while for our family and our children... I believe your majesty will not It's too embarrassing for you, after all, our Treville family is also very useful to him."

"Alice, I'm not worried about myself at all, I'm willing to sacrifice and dedicate for you and our children, and I'm also willing to take on the obligations of the family." Edgar immediately shook his head, "I'm just worried about you... the thought of After I left, there was no one to take care of you, and it was really hard for me to let go, if I wasn't there when you gave birth, it would be a crime!"

Years of training in the social arena, coupled with his talent for being likable, has enabled him to cultivate the ability to please ladies long ago. These words are like instinct, and they can be said skillfully without thinking. .

Even he himself couldn't tell how real or fake it was.

"It's okay, I can take care of myself, not to mention my father is here." Alice was greatly moved, and then comforted her husband, "Sometimes we have to make a little sacrifice for the future, and it's worth it. After you go, you must be careful to protect your own safety, and you must respect your majesty, no matter what order he gives you, you must complete it, and don't provoke him."

"I know, these fathers have already explained to me." Edgar nodded, "I will definitely follow His Majesty's side, and if I have the opportunity, I will draw some pictures to let the world know his glorious image! I think that's what he lacks the most."

"Then it's up to you." Alice replied with a smile.

Next, she looked at Agnes again, "Agnes, I handed over Edgar to you, and you must help me deliver him safely to His Majesty."

"Wrap it on me! Don't worry!" Agnes agreed immediately.

"If possible, Agnes don't come back right away, just stay there to protect me..." At this moment, Edgar suddenly suggested. "I think your Majesty will also welcome Agnes very much."

The reason why he proposed this was because he was timid and hoped to have someone around him to protect him, but on the other hand, he was also trying to complete the task that his father had given him.

In order for Alice to help him convince Agnes, Edgar and his wife secretly glanced at each other, implying that she would also help.

Agnes was still a little ignorant, she didn't quite understand what was going on, but Alice was very aware of her husband's plans - after all, General Treville had mentioned it to her before.

It seems that his father-in-law is indeed a resolute person. He just asked for his opinion, and immediately gave instructions to his husband when he turned around.

So, what should I do?

As far as her heart is concerned, of course she is not happy to see Agnes involved in right and wrong; but deep down she also admits that the young man is indeed very good and worthy of Agnes in every way. , maybe even Agnes is currently the only person in her peers who looks down on him.

Therefore, aside from the grievances of the Bonaparte family and the Bourbon family, this is indeed a fate worthy of blessing.

The interests of the Marquis of Treville, as well as the sisterhood in her heart, were entangled in her heart.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally made a decision——

Neither encourage nor stop it, leave it to God to decide.

If nothing happened, then nothing would be lost; if Agnes really fell in love with His Majesty, it would be an honor for the family.

So, after hesitating, she nodded lightly.

"Agnes, if you have time and you're not too tired, stay there for a while, and you'll have to be far away for a long time. It's better than being alone if you have two relatives looking after each other... "

Seeing that her sister and brother-in-law said so, Agnes agreed after a little thought.

"Okay, then I'll stay for a while longer and protect my poor brother-in-law!" Agnes said confidently. "Are you satisfied now?"

Seeing her sister's impassioned appearance, Alice felt more and more guilty, and lowered her head and didn't want to talk anymore.

However, Edgar was secretly delighted.

In order to please Agnes, he deliberately complimented the girl attentively.

"With the brave and beautiful Miss Agnes protecting me, I will definitely have a smooth sailing and we will return with honor together! When my children grow up, they will be proud of the feats of their father and aunt."

"I'm not interested in this kind of honor." Agnes replied with a smile, "You will have the honor all by yourself. If Dad knew that I was going to help the Bonapartists, he would have to scold me to death... …”

Although she said so, her smile showed the eagerness in her heart.

After all, how many children at her age don't have any adventure dreams in their hearts?

"Okay, now that everything is settled, let's go to dinner together." Edgar suggested. "My father would like to thank you personally."

After he finished speaking, he supported his wife and brought the sisters to the dining room, where the Marquis of Treville was already waiting.

"Agnes, thank you for your help." Upon seeing Agnes, the Marquis of Treville immediately thanked her, "I believe that with you, Edgar will arrive at His Majesty's side safely. Loyalty to our Majesty."

Then, he sighed half-truth again, "Oh, if my son has the ability like you, I don't have to worry about it! He is really unsatisfactory."

"You don't have to sigh, Edgar is also very good, otherwise how could my sister be so attracted to him?" Agnes replied with a smile, "Everyone says his paintings are good! Although I don't know much about painting, But every time I see his work, I think it's amazing!"

"For our family, what's the use of only being able to paint? You can't glorify the courtyard with a paintbrush." ​​General Treville disagreed, "Besides, even if it's painting, Edgar can only be called a painting. Excellent, there are many people in the country who are better than him, but you are different, you are the best among your peers, even among the elders, few can beat you, you are the pride of France."

As an elder, although he didn't have much contact with Agnes, he had already heard about Agnes' skills and achievements. At this moment, in order to make Agnes happy, he exaggerated a bit.

"What you said is too exaggerated, I haven't reached that point yet..." Agnes felt a little embarrassed for such an exaggerated compliment, "However, I'm still far from this evaluation. , but I will work hard for this goal, and I hope that one day I can reach the end and live up to your expectations."

Seeing Agnes' self-confidence and self-confidence, the Marquis of Treville admired her more and more.

What a wonderful boy this is!

Looking at the sisters Alice and Agnes in front of him made him jealous of their father——

He had always had a bad relationship with the Duke of Nordrion, the Duke did not want to associate with the Bonapartists, and he was quite disdainful of the Duke. In his eyes, the duke was nothing more than a mediocre person, but he was lucky enough to be favored by the court by virtue of the shadow of his ancestors, so he was quite a status in the upper class. Therefore, after the two became the in-laws of their children, they still looked down on each other, and there was no relationship at all.

God knows how lucky this guy is to have such a good child!

But myself...

Alas, it is too late to say anything now, and we can only pin our hopes on the next generation.

Since it is Alice's child, it must not be bad.

"Will you spend some time teaching when Alice's child grows up?" he wondered, then said to Agnes, "I don't expect the child to grow up to be a swordsman, but I think, If you practice swordsmanship from an early age, you can let children hone their will, and a tenacious will is the most useful to people."

"Of course!" Agnes agreed without thinking. "As an aunt I would love to teach my nephews and nieces."

Then, she laughed again, "It's just that I don't have enough experience as a teacher, so if the child starts crying, don't settle the account with me!"

Her words caused laughter from the three present.

"Never, I promise." After laughing, the Marquis of Treville replied solemnly.

She is a rose with thorns, but if it is His Majesty, there should be no problem, right? he thought to himself.

"Come, let's toast for the next journey!" He picked up the cup leisurely and greeted the three juniors present.

"cheers!"

It was already night, and Duke Nordlyn, as usual, stayed in the study alone after dinner to deal with the papers and letters he had accumulated during the day.

However, he soon heard a sharp knock on the door.

Even without asking, he knew who was coming - after all, the only one in the family who dared to knock on the door like this was his precious little daughter.

"Agnes, come in!" he took off his glasses and shouted.

The door opened immediately, and then, Agnes walked in quickly.

"Dad, good evening~" She raised her skirt and saluted the Duke.

Seeing his daughter look so respectful, the Duke secretly cried out in his heart. After all, every time her daughter did this, it meant that she would make some uncomfortable requests next.

But now, he had no choice but to nod his head.

"Good evening, my daughter, do you have anything to do with me?"

"I want to take a long trip recently..." Agnes didn't go around in circles, and directly put forward her own request.

"Huh? Where to go?" The Duke's heart sank immediately.

"Go to Italy," Agnes replied with a smile. "My teacher recently stayed in Tuscany, and she wrote me a letter inviting me to talk. We haven't seen each other for so long, and I miss her a lot, so I want to go there...if possible, stay there for a while and ask the teacher for advice."

Although Agnes's tone and expression were very normal, and the reason she said was reasonable, Duke Nordrian always felt that something was wrong.

"Going to Italy? Really?" he couldn't help asking.

"Of course it's true..." Agnes walked in front of her father, then blinked, "Please allow me..."

"If I remember correctly, you went to the Marquis of Treville's mansion today, and then had dinner at his house." The Duke frowned slightly, "My daughter, you suddenly made this request, and you won't have anything to do with them. relationship?"

"It doesn't matter..." Agnes shook her head quickly, "I just went there to visit my sister, we didn't talk about anything else, we came back after dinner..."

When he heard his daughter say that, the Duke finally felt a little relieved.

"You should stop interacting with their family in the future. They are all die-hard Bonaparte members. It's just because they are after the famous family, so the king didn't deal with it... Don't be badly influenced by them."

"But my sister has already married. Now everyone is relatives. Why do we have to live like this?" Agnes had some opinions.

"That was the result of Alice's insistence. I couldn't help but agree, but my antipathy towards them didn't disappear, on the contrary, it got worse!" The Duke frowned, "They stole my daughter, I will never Forgive them!"

"Now that Alice is about to give birth, do you still want to ignore it?" Agnes asked, "If others find out, they will only think that we are heartless, right? This is really unreasonable."

The duke took a few deep breaths in annoyance, then shook his head, "I will give the gifts that I should have. After all, I am a grandfather, but don't expect me to set foot on their door!"

Then, he waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, since Alice's case has already happened, I don't want to say anything else, but you can't repeat the same mistakes."

"Okay, I see." Agnes knew that her father was angry and she couldn't fight anymore, so she agreed with disapproval, "Then will you agree to my request?"

The Duke hesitated.

"Dad..." Agnes grabbed the Duke's right hand and shook it gently, "Just promise me!"

Seeing the pleading look of the youngest daughter, the Duke remembered that she had not acted coquettishly with him for many years.

So he relented.

Oh, just promise her.

"Well, I will arrange for someone to accompany you. I wish you a smooth journey." Finally he nodded, "Remember to write to me."

"Well, definitely!" Agnes promised again and again.

There is no doubt that she can't hide it from her father for long, but as long as she reaches her destination, her father will help her to hide it even if she is furious - after all, he does not dare to let others know that his daughter has gone to the Bonaparte traitor. .

"If I come across the Count of Monte Cristo, say hello to him for me," said the Duke casually.

Agnes almost asked who the Count of Monte Cristo was, but for a moment she remembered the former Monsieur Edmond Dantes.

"Well, I will!" She nodded immediately, "I almost want to see how he has progressed during this time!"

After getting the permission of her father, Agnes no longer had any scruples, and she immediately packed her luggage.

Two days later, Agnes and Edgar embarked on a journey into the unknown.
