Eagle’s Glory

"In addition to the gentleman, her wife and sister also arrived... Her name is Agnes."

"Agnes...?" Teresa repeated the name.

She had never heard of this name, and naturally she could not have any impression, and the real point was not here.

Teresa only felt a little bizarre-General Treville wanted to follow Aegron, so it was completely understandable to let his son come over to swear allegiance, but a wife and sister... What did she join in the fun?

"Why did you bring your wife and sister here?" Because of her doubts, Teresa immediately asked.

"Miss Agnes is not an ordinary girl, she is as old as His Majesty, and her skills are very powerful, almost on a par with His Majesty... So, it's Mr. Edgar's wife—that is, her own sister—please her Escorted Mr Edgar all the way."

Teresa blinked, although she was very surprised, but now she finally understood the situation.

However, looking at Chanel's expression, new doubts arose in her heart.

"Why do you know so well, have you met?" Teresa asked again.

"Yes, we have met before." Chanel replied honestly, "Your Majesty once took us to flee to Switzerland for a period of time before going to Monte Cristo Island... We met at that time."

Then, she roughly told Teresa about the young man's visit to Queen Aotangsi for help, and later hiding in the farm, meeting the Edgars and Agnes, and everything that happened after that.

"It turned out that there were so many twists and turns before..." Teresa was very absorbed in hearing this, until at the end she lowered her eyes slightly, so as not to let others spy on her mood at the moment.

These experiences, Aigron has not told me a word... Is it because I feel that these little things are not worth mentioning, or is it because of other reasons?

"Sounds like an interesting experience." She managed to gather her thoughts, and then smiled slightly, "No wonder Mr. Treville brought her here, she turned out to be such a great expert... Back in Vienna, everyone It is said that His Royal Highness is very talented and is a rare swordsman among his peers. To be able to keep pace with him... Rare, too rare! I think that she can have such a skill at such a young age, her fortitude and talent are far beyond For ordinary people."

"I think so too." Chanel nodded in agreement. "Miss Agnes is absolutely admirable."

"Listening to you, I was aroused endlessly curious, I really want to see with my own eyes how beautiful she is." Teresa still smiled, and then asked, "So, how is she now? where?"

"We just put her in a room, not far from here, just go along the corridor." Chanel suggested, "If you want to see her, I can take you to see her now."

"That's not necessary. Thinking about her exhausted journey, she finally got a chance to rest, and I can't disturb her." Teresa shook her head, and then answered meaningfully, "I'll see you later anyway. It's hers, let me keep this curiosity for a while..."

After saying goodbye to Edgar for a while, Aigron walked back to the bedroom from the balcony along the stairs, and at this time he found Teresa sitting at the desk, seemingly thoughtful.

"Teresa, haven't you written the letter yet?" Agron thought she was still having trouble with the wording of the letter, so he asked her quickly, "Actually, you don't need to be so careful, just greet her with ordinary words, presumably she too I won't be demanding of your attitude, after all, you are also a family member..."

"I have finished writing the letter just now, and it has been handed over to the messenger to be sent, Your Highness." Teresa suddenly looked at the young man and replied, "I heard that you were talking to the De-Treville family just now. members chat?"

"Yeah, the son of the Marquis of Treville came to join me just now." Aigron nodded, "Although this Marquis was born in an old nobleman, he joined the Imperial Army and fought very bravely, so my father commended him for this. He, who gave him this title, is very grateful and has always been loyal to the empire, even now... I have received a lot of help from him."

"This is really admirable loyalty, we have to repay it properly." Teresa nodded.

Then, she looked at Aegron again, as if asking casually. "It seems that he brought his wife and sister with him! God, when I heard the news, I thought he was crazy..."

"If you don't know the inside story, you will think he is crazy." Agron replied with a smile, "However, that Miss Agnes is not ordinary..."

"Yeah, she is a swordsman who can be on par with you, an idol admired by those arrogant and arrogant grandsons..." Teresa interrupted Aegron, "It's a pity that I haven't heard of this until now. Name and her deeds, otherwise I must have been fascinated long ago..."

Although Teresa's tone was indeed very respectful, Aegron felt something was wrong.

"Have you heard Chanel say it?" he asked tentatively.

"Yes, she told me just now." Teresa smiled slightly, "Your Highness, how can you hide such an interesting person and such an interesting deed? You know that I like legends the most, I'll never get tired of hearing stories like this..."

"I just don't think it's necessary to mention such a trivial matter-" Aegron shrugged. "The two sisters are really interesting people, but I have more important things to do, so we just got to know each other and broke up in a hurry. I just thought that I would not have a chance to meet until I returned to France. I didn't expect to see her again so soon. Trust me, I was just as surprised as you were."

Seeing Aegron's reply, Teresa's gaze finally softened.

"Then did you think it was impossible to see me again until you returned to Austria, so you left me behind like that?" she asked slightly sarcastically.

"Teresa... let's not turn over the past account, I admit that I'm sorry for you..." Aegron laughed awkwardly. "Am I not already making up for it now?"

"Finally, you still know." Teresa also laughed, and the unhappiness just now seemed to have vanished - of course, there were still some grievances, looming like a ghost.

"Since both of them are famous, and the Marquis of Treville has given you credit, then we must treat them well." She changed the topic.

"Yeah, that's what I'm going to do--I told Edgar just now that I'm going to hold a banquet on the balcony tonight, and treat the two of them as a reception for them." Aigron replied immediately. .

"Then can I attend? After hearing your previous stories, I kind of want to get to know them." Teresa asked. "But maybe it's not convenient for me to show up...?"

"What are you talking about? Of course you should have attended, they are all their own, it doesn't matter if you show up." Aegron shook his head, "It's better to say that they should know you and respect you, because you are me Their fiancée, the one they will surrender in the future—"

Teresa was a little moved for a moment, and His Highness said these words without any hesitation. It seems that his heart did not waver at all... Maybe everything was overthinking.

"Then I will perform well and try to impress them..." She assured Aegron with a smile. "If we can really rebuild the dynasty, they will also be important courtiers. I can't let them look down on them."

"It's very easy for you." Aegron couldn't help laughing. "I can't think of anyone in the world who looks down on you, Teresa."

Soon it was night time.

Because Aigron had given orders before, Chanel and Andre Davout had already started busy, setting up tables, chairs and lights on the balcony to prepare for the next dinner party.

In addition to Father Faria, who was inconvenient, several of his important subordinates were present, and Edgar and Agnes, as new guests, naturally became the guests of the banquet.

When Aegron and Teresa attended together, everyone was already there, and everything was in place.

The table is full of various dishes and wines, and candles are all around, the sky is full of stars like a picture scroll above everyone's head, not far from the continuous sea waves on the seashore. , as if cheers from the audience were cheering them on.

Because she was going to show her face in front of everyone today, Teresa dressed up in a rare dress, wearing a long dress that she brought, with jewels and flowers on her chest. The reappearance of the court ball—only the small crown presented by His Majesty the Emperor is missing on his head.

Because of such a beautiful and luxurious dress, the girl was caught the attention of everyone as soon as she appeared on the stage, and her eyes slowly swam in front of everyone with the help of this candlelight.

Her eyes didn't stop at the people she already knew, but slowly swept over, until finally, it fell on the two strangers on the opposite side.

One is a blond young man with a handsome appearance and a gentle smile; the other... is a young girl.

She was wearing an ordinary skirt, her hair was **** in a bun, her beautiful face was very expressive, and she could tell that she was an optimist; her eyes were bright and very Smart, it seems to be able to easily observe the surrounding carefully.

At this moment, Agnes also looked at Teresa curiously, and the two looked at each other with interest for a while, and then invariably showed a friendly smile.

"Who is she..." Agnes was a little curious, and then asked Edgar next to her in a low voice. "Why do you seem so close to your Majesty?"

"She is Princess Teresa, His Majesty's Austrian fiancée." Edgar tried to hide the sourness and annoyance in his heart, and explained to Agnes in a low voice, "Although all the twists and turns happened before, she insisted on running to His Majesty is here, so His Majesty seems to have accepted it."

"No wonder!" Agnes suddenly realized, "I'll just say, how can ordinary people have such a bearing... We in France don't have such a beautiful princess now."

This is also a matter. After all, after the **** storm of the Great Revolution, the Bourbon royal family was not prosperous, Louis XVI's whole family died, and his sister Princess Elizabeth was also sent to the guillotine, and only his eldest daughter Marie-Tet survived. Princess Reza, who later married her uncle, the son of the Count of Artois, her cousin Louis-Antoine de Bourbon, is now approaching 40.

Later, the Count of Artois became King Charles X, and Louis-Antoine became the Dauphin as the eldest son. After the two were married, they had nothing to do; after the second son, the Duke of Berry, only one posthumous son remained.

Therefore, there are no princesses of the same age in the Bourbon royal family. Although Agnes' words may sound disrespectful to the royal family, it is also true.

Under everyone's attention, Aigron and Teresa took their seats together.

Then, Aigron spoke first, kicking off the banquet.

"We haven't been together for a long time recently because we are all busy with business. Today I deliberately gathered everyone together just to relax." He said, smiling at everyone, "Thanks to your efforts, we Everything is going well now, and today...another important person came and got involved in our business!"

He raised his hand and pointed at Edgar, "Although he is new, he is by no means new, and some of you may already know him, let me introduce to others - he is Monsieur Edgar de Treville, the only son of the Marquis of Treville. Although the Marquis was unable to come in person because of the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, he dedicated his only son to our cause... This loyalty really touched me and admiration!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the others also applauded Edgar.

Although Edgar himself is neither famous nor prestige, the Marquis of Treville is extraordinary in the eyes of everyone. His loyalty and his qualifications are impeccable, and he is also one of the leaders of the Bonapartists. , so his only son also received the respect of course.

After everyone cheered for Edgar, Agron looked at Agnes again, "Next, please let me introduce another guest, Miss Agnes-de-Nordrian... We can all see, She is a beautiful girl, but she is not only outstanding in appearance, but also in extraordinary skills. She is one of the very few people of my age who is qualified to play against me! Yes, she is beautiful and powerful, worthy of the pride of France, let us be her Have a drink!"

"Cheers!" After Agron's introduction, not only those who knew Agnes were booing, but even those who didn't know her were also very interested, and all looked at Agnes.

Agnes was a little shy to be stared at like this, and lowered her head and dared not speak, but of course she was very happy in her heart, after all, who doesn't like being complimented and praised? What's more, this compliment comes from such an incredible person, which is even more rare.

After taking a sip of wine, Aigron looked at Edmund Dantes. "Edmund! You should have known Agnes already."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Edmund Dantes replied in a low voice, "When I went to Paris before, thanks to the help of the lady, I was able to easily contact the bankers in the name of the Nordrien family, which is very convenient. I still remember this kindness after completing my mission. In addition...I am half a student of Miss Agnes. She taught me some swordsmanship, which benefited me a lot, but unfortunately the time was too short, so I did not I'm very sorry that I didn't have time to learn too much."

After just recognizing Agnes, he was surprised but also very happy, but because of His Majesty's presence, he didn't dare to say hello - because of his previous experience, he has always been full of goodwill towards Alice and Agnes sisters. And respect, so I'd love to see Agnes join her career.

"Mr. Count of Monte Cristo, if you are willing, I can teach you again when I have the opportunity." Agnes said with a smile.

"Actually...I was also educated by Miss Agnes." At this moment, Andre Davout suddenly said embarrassedly, "I once challenged Miss Agnes over my own strength, and was then educated by Miss Agnes. She beat her easily...that's when I realized how weak I was, but it also gave me the confidence to be stronger."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Agnes solemnly, "Miss Agnes, I'm sorry I was embarrassed to mention those past events when we just met... I don't think you remember how you beat me, because that pair of You are just an experience that is not worth mentioning, but I have always remembered it. It is a pity that I have more important things to do now. After the success of Your Majesty's career, I would like to challenge you again. Maybe then I will still fail miserably. But at least I'll make myself a little better, at least let you remember—"

"You have made me remember it now." Agnes' eyes lit up, and then solemnly replied to the other party, "It's not terrible to lose, what's terrible is that you are stunned because you are afraid of losing face, and let yourself fall to a situation where nothing can be accomplished... You Being able to face failure head-on, and being able to summon the courage to try again, this has indeed touched the essence of a swordsman. With this ambition, you must be able to do well in other things! I want to have a subordinate like you, too. Your Majesty's luck."

"Thank you!" Andre Davout was so relieved to be so praised by Agnes, and almost burst into tears.

The others were also moved by Agnes' words and nodded.

It is indeed an admirable demeanor... Even Teresa, who has always been critical of people, couldn't help but feel sad for Agnes' performance.

At this moment, Teresa was suddenly a little fortunate.

She was secretly thankful that she made the right decision—

If you indulge yourself in grief and pain, do not go to Rome to meet the Empress Dowager Letizia and then happen to meet Her Royal Highness, do not agree to continue to stick to the marriage contract, do not force the parents to make concessions and then make the trip, miss a little step, even if it is only a step. Sora, then it is impossible for him to arrive at His Highness in time, and Edgar and Agnes will naturally arrive on time, so God knows what will happen next...

No, Teresa, are you timid?

She was suddenly startled.

She was annoyed and even a little ashamed of her momentary hesitation and rejoicing.

This is by no means what I should have thought.

Your union with Your Highness is by the grace of God and favored by fate, so why should you be afraid?

Agnes is really good, but I don't lose sight of it.

In an instant, she regained her composure.

She raised her head to face Agnes, and greeted her with a sincere smile.

"Miss Agnes, it's a pleasure to meet you. It's a pity that I only learned about your deeds today, but it doesn't detract from my admiration for you."
