Eagle’s Glory

"There are also some messengers who claim to have been entrusted by your father to serve you..."

"Really...?" Upon hearing this, Teresa's tired spirit immediately cheered up.

Of course she knew that her father's so-called "messenger" would definitely not be ordinary people.

Although her father said some harsh words when she left Austria, in the end, he still couldn't bear himself...

Daddy...Dad...Thank you. She couldn't help but thank her in her heart.

"Okay, I see." She calmed herself down, trying her best not to laugh out loud, then nodded gently to Chanel, "Go back and take them to the reception room first, and I'll go see them right away."

"Yes!" Chanel led the way.

And Teresa also turned her head to say goodbye to Father Faria, "Father, I'm sorry... I will implement the advice you just gave me, thank you."

"His Royal Highness, it's my honor to be able to provide you with some useful advice, so go ahead and do it." Father Faria also nodded his farewell to Teresa, "However, I have another piece of advice, please listen to it for now. "

"Please speak." Teresa immediately put on a posture of listening carefully and looked at the priest.

"Most people in this world like fame and fortune, and it's the most effective way to lure them with fame and fortune, and it's simple and direct - but there are some people who don't care about fame and fortune that much, then you have to think of other means to win over them. Father Faria seemed to have a plan in mind, so after Teresa's permission, he immediately continued to talk, "In this regard, His Majesty has done a very good job. He has a fairly accurate grasp of other people's thoughts." , and respond appropriately to their expectations in different ways,

For example, my adopted son, Edmund Dantès, is a man who values ​​love and righteousness, but does not admire wealth. , soon showed him incomparable trust, entrusted him with important tasks, and promised to settle all grievances for him, and what His Majesty did, moved Edmund's heart... made him grateful and swore for His Majesty service.

It is precisely because His Majesty has this talent that he was able to recruit so many people to serve him so quickly under his own name - to be honest, I am quite surprised, because he has mastered this skill at such a young age... People are amazed. This requires both magnanimity and nuanced observation, and I hope you will allow yourself to have these as well, because these are all necessary abilities for you to rule over your servants in the future. "

"Of course Your Highness is so powerful." Seeing the priest complimenting her fiancé like this, Teresa was very happy and couldn't help but smile. "Staying beside His Highness, although I dare not imagine that I can keep pace with His Highness, but at least I will let myself learn a little bit of demeanor~"

After she finished speaking, she saluted the priest, and then floated away.

At this moment, the "messengers" had also been taken to the meeting room temporarily opened in the hotel by Chanel.

As soon as they entered the room, they sat upright on their seats, waiting for His Highness to arrive.

They didn't say a word to each other, stared straight ahead, and as they sat down, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Soon, the door was reopened, and Teresa walked in.

Although none of these "messengers" had ever seen Teresa's face, but when they saw her appearance and dress, they probably guessed it in their hearts.

So, they all stood up at the same time and silently saluted Teresa.

Teresa walked to the center of the room and looked at the "messengers".

Most of these people are not amazing in appearance, but they are not good-looking, and with their serious expressions, they all show a powerful temperament. And the person headed by them had a scar face, and the long scar cut across half of his face, looking especially hideous and terrifying.

Facing these fierce men alone, Teresa was instinctively timid, which was an experience she had never experienced in her life.

How could she have imagined such a day in the past?

However, she quickly settled herself, these are the scenes she has to face.

These people are assigned by your father to help you and Your Highness, Teresa... Be kind to them. She said to herself in her heart.

"Gentlemen, I appreciate your coming." She put aside the discomfort in her heart, let herself show a humble and elegant smile, then bowed her head and saluted, "In this difficult day, me and my The fiancé is in urgent need of help...and your presence is a great help to us. I believe that you will play a greater role than ordinary people, because my father chose you - since he recognizes you, then I will I will also respect you and have the highest expectations for you...Thank you!"

"No thanks, Your Highness, it is our honor to serve the Grand Duke and you." The scarred-faced man in the lead spoke to Teresa with a sinister but friendly smile.

His voice was hoarse, even harsh, but Teresa kept her eyes on him, listening carefully, "Allow us to introduce ourselves - my name is Ferdinand Henchy. Your father's kindness is with you. , I was recently promoted to the Imperial Army Major, and the Grand Duke also entrusted me to bring people over to serve His Highness and you..."

After he finished speaking, he paused again, as if wondering why Aegron didn't come.

"His Royal Highness has launched an offensive, and now the first battle has been won, and the others are already in Nafpaktos." Teresa saw what he was thinking, so she took the initiative to answer the other party, briefly describing Agron's actions and current situation.

After hearing Teresa's explanation, the men looked at each other, and then Major Henchy looked back at Teresa.

"It seems that His Highness's actions are faster and more determined than we thought, which is very good." Then, he said his request, "Since this is the case, then I think His Highness needs help more than before, and the situation ahead is changing rapidly. Without further delay, will you allow us to rush to him at once?"

"Of course, that's what I mean too!" Teresa answered happily.

She is not a person who judges people by their appearance. In addition to the current special environment, Major Henchy's terrifying appearance makes her feel at ease a lot.

At first glance, this person is ferocious and definitely suitable for his father's task - she thought.

And Major Henchy's positive attitude made her even better.

It seems that his father's eye for picking people is right, this major is a reliable person.

"You are tired from your journey, so you can rest here tonight. I will arrange someone to take you there tomorrow morning... I think His Royal Highness will be very happy, and he will receive you grandly."

"There's no need for a grand reception. We don't want to attract the attention of others too much. You and he can just treat us as ordinary volunteers." Major Hench shook his head with a smile. Then, he changed his words. "But... I think, His Highness will be surprised when he sees me, because we have had a relationship before."

"Huh? What's going on?" Teresa was a little surprised.

"Thanks to your father for this," Major Henchy replied.

Then, he told Teresa exactly what happened last year when Archduke Karl and Duke Reichstedt visited the Invalides together.

Teresa listened with interest, and when the major said that at the end everyone was toasting to the marriage, she immediately flushed, shy and happy.

"His Royal Highness never told me this... You guys are too nonsense." She whispered.

"Anyway, that's how His Highness and I know each other. He should still remember me. After all, my face is impressive enough." Major Henchie made a self-deprecating joke. "After His Highness left, we chatted privately, and we all liked His Highness's demeanor very much. We all felt that it would be wonderful to be able to resolve the past hatred in this way..."

He stopped here, because no one dared to mention the incidents that happened later.

Who would have thought at the time that things would actually develop to this point? Just like a dream.

He has always called Aigron His Royal Highness, which of course has been considered in advance - as an Austrian soldier, of course, now he can't admit the so-called emperor of the boy, he can only use the official Austrian title Duke of Reichstedt To address the other party respectfully—although His Highness’s escape greatly angered His Majesty the Emperor, but since the Emperor of the Empire has not issued an edict to cancel this title of his royal family, it seems that there is no problem with these people continuing to call him that.

After hearing his words, Teresa was also a little emotional.

If he hadn't insisted so hard that his parents had to give in, God knows what would happen to the two of them now?

Fortunately...everything is finally back on track, even if the end point of this "right track" has been pulled to a place that is completely different from the end point originally planned by the royal family, but as long as His Highness is with you, that's enough.

After a moment of silence, she retracted her thoughts and smiled at Major Henchy again.

"Since you have met before, everything is more convenient. Your Highness will definitely be willing to trust you. I sincerely wish you to be able to exert your abilities and contribute to His Highness's cause."

Then, she asked again, "By the way, since you are messengers, did my parents entrust you with anything to bring?"

"Of course, there are actually quite a few things." Major Hench nodded.

Then, he took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Teresa, "This is a letter from His Royal Highness and his wife to you. We have also brought other things."

Father's letter... Teresa's heart beat suddenly.

She made such a decision before, although she was decisive, she was also heartbroken, and now she was able to get her father's forgiveness and help, which was a great relief to her.

Her hands trembled slightly, she took the letter, then she calmed down temporarily and looked at Major Henchy.

"You have been tired all the way, go and rest for a while. I will be entertaining you tonight, please be sure to attend. To be honest, being able to meet people from my hometown in this place is a surprise and a surprise..."

"We are even more pleasantly surprised to have the opportunity to serve you." Major Henchy replied respectfully.

Of course he could see that Her Royal Highness Teresa wanted to be alone now, so he also said goodbye to Teresa very interestingly.

Just as the group was about to leave, Teresa seemed to think of something and spoke again.

"By the way, Major, I just talked about marriage... I have a ruthless request."

"Huh?" The major was a little puzzled, "Just talk about it."

"To be honest, Your Highness has already made an agreement with me that after the war here, we will hold a wedding there..." Teresa blushed slightly, but she tried her best to speak calmly, "If possible, I hope you will serve as the honor guard at the celebration, do you think it is appropriate?"

Major Henchy was surprised at first, then laughed.

"This really looks down on us! If we dare to refuse, then we are too ignorant... Okay, Your Highness, if you don't dislike my face to scare the guests, of course I am very happy, I am afraid this It will also be the most boastful thing in my life, right?!"

"If anyone denies the bravery, simplicity and piety of a soldier just because of one face, then he doesn't deserve to be my guest..." Teresa replied solemnly and gently, "Major, God has indeed given You are unfortunate, but your heart has no scars, and it shines brightly in my eyes."

Major Henchy was moved by Teresa's words.

Although he didn't know how much of it was sincere and how much it was for courtesy, just hearing such words from Her Royal Highness's mouth was enough to make him grateful.

As expected of the daughter of the Grand Duke, this demeanor is absolutely worthy of it.

If she doesn't become the queen of France in the future, I'll scold those French people for being blind... he thought to himself.

Touched, he saluted Teresa solemnly and left, leaving Teresa alone in the room.

After sending them off, Teresa calmed herself down.

She picked up the letter the major had just given her, then tore the envelope, picked up a few pages of letter paper, and read it carefully.

In the beginning, it was written in her mother's handwriting. Like the previous letter, her mother greeted her and encouraged her to continue to persevere. The bright future is in the future. The words are sincere and heartfelt, which moved her heart.

And the next thing is the father. After all, compared to the mother, his words are much more serious and simple, with almost no emotional fluctuations. He just briefly explained what he had done, and told her to do it for herself in the future.

Every word is so familiar, it's almost like his father is standing in front of him.

Teresa's eyes blurred as she watched, she was excited and ashamed, because she knew that compared with what her parents did for her, what she gave back was nothing in case.

"Sorry, Mom and Dad..." She apologized softly, trying not to let the tears come out of her eyes.

The stationery was quickly read to the end by her.

"By the way, His Royal Highness Sophie visited us before and proposed to give you some gifts. I asked the messenger to send it along with the letter. You can handle it yourself."

The last sentence made her stunned.
