Eagle’s Glory

"What kind of feelings do you have for her? If I remember correctly, you must have abandoned her once, right?"

Agnes' question was very abrupt, and Agron was not mentally prepared, so he didn't know how to answer for a while.

like? That's for sure.

Infatuated? Certainly not.

But no matter what, he is grateful for what Teresa has done for him and is willing to marry her and start a family.

"She was the fiancée my grandfather and mother chose for me. There is no doubt that a lot of political factors were mixed in it, but at least it showed that she was a good match for me in people's eyes. And after I met her later, I also found out She was really kind to me. She recognized my talent, believed that I would be extraordinary, and was willing to help me make a name for myself... Of course, what she understood at the time was that I became a famous European I have lived up to her expectations on this point.”

As he spoke, he walked forward, then stood beside a stream, and continued to speak.

"I didn't flee Austria because I hated her or the marriage, just because I didn't think I could achieve my dream in Austria, so I had to leave; after fleeing there I thought we were married It's over, and I also tacitly agreed that I need to bear such a price, but I didn't expect that under such unfavorable circumstances, she still chose to continue to stick to her previous oath, forcing her father to make concessions and continue our engagement... This kind of persistence touched me. Then she abandoned her comfortable life and came to me, shared my joys and sorrows, and supported me in various ways. Who else would do this?"

"It's really admirable..." Agnes thought thoughtfully, and then asked, "However, from your statement, my personal feeling is that in your heart, you are more grateful to her and benefit from it. Are you thinking right? You're not really in love with her..."

"Is the difference that big?" Agron frowned and asked back. "For me, feelings and interests are not contradictory. She gave me so much support and help that I couldn't get rid of her; and from a personal emotional point of view, getting along with her really made me feel very good. Pleasant, so I have to keep my promise no matter what - in my capacity, I can be a villain, because at least a villain can scare people, but I can't be a coward, that will make everyone hate me as a person , and no one will follow me."

Although he knew instinctively in his heart that he should say something to deceive people at this time, saying that he only agreed to the engagement with Teresa out of necessity.

But he decided to tell the truth anyway, because he didn't bother to lie about this kind of thing, it was so boring.

Agnes could only respond with a wry smile to Agron's answer.

"Yes, you are a boy who wants to be an emperor. In your eyes, feelings and power are indeed inseparable, and there is no need to distinguish them clearly; only girls can determine whether the motive of love is Purity in your heart... do you believe it? Although Princess Teresa is as noble as you, she must not think the same as you."

Aegron didn't know how to answer, he could only shrug. "Maybe, but I'll try my best not to regret it."

Agnes looked at Agron silently, until after a moment, she shook her head and let out a sigh.

"Forget it, what right do I have to apologise for Princess Teresa? After seeing the look in her eyes, I knew that she was very satisfied with her own choice. Maybe in her opinion, it's enough to have you by your side..."

Then, she laughed again, "I'm sorry, Aigron, it's my fault, I asked an irrelevant question that affected your mood."

"It doesn't matter, there will always be some embarrassing questions between friends." Aegron replied nonchalantly, "If you are careful about everything, and you have to consider every word before you speak, then what kind of friend is that?"

"That's what you said, but you are bearing the lives of thousands of people. If I interfere with your rare rest and ruin your good mood, it will make them suffer an extra point of life danger for no reason... I dare not Do this," Agnes joked.

"Hahaha..." Agron laughed again, "Don't worry, my heart won't be so fragile."

In his laughter, the small embarrassment between the two of them just now was swept away.

They tacitly skipped the topic just now and resumed hunting.

However, because they had come to the side of the creek, they did not ride the horses again, but let the horses drink water on the spot, and they walked forward along the creek.

In order to make Agnes have a good time and admire her heroic appearance, Agron didn't shoot much, but this time he was interested.

As he fired, he reloaded, and fired rhythmically around him, causing the birds to fly and the leaves to fall to the ground. He didn't care how many prey he hit, and he didn't count the results, as long as he was happy.

After an unknown amount of time, Agron finally felt a little bored, so he looked at Agnes, who had been following silently beside him.

"Agnes, maybe you're right, this kind of hunting with muskets can only give vent to the desire to kill... not much fun."

"I'm glad you agreed with me." Agnes replied with a smile, "How about I teach you how to use a bow and arrow? You can definitely experience a different feeling."

Agron glanced at the hunting bow on Agnes' shoulders, and the quiver hanging from her waist—there were not many arrows left in the quiver.

"I have no experience before. If you study now, I am afraid that your arrows will not be enough. If you run out, you will not be able to hunt." Aegron replied.

"What does it matter? Originally, I didn't care how many prey I could hit." Agnes replied nonchalantly, "Besides, I'm satisfied with the game so far."

Now that Agnes has said so, Agron will no longer refuse - he just wants to experience the feeling of archery with a bow.

So he put the shotgun at his feet, then took the hunting bow from Agnes, then another arrow, and then bent the bow and arrow, aiming straight ahead.

The strength of this hunting bow is not high. Agnes could easily draw it to the full before. With the physical strength of Agron's training since childhood, it is naturally not a problem.

Agnes was also beside him, pointing at him carefully.

"You have to relax, remember not to tense the muscles, that will affect the accuracy. And your fingers, remember to use your index finger, middle finger, and ring finger to draw the bowstring, and put the nock between your index and middle fingers...  "While speaking, Agnes also stretched out her hand to help Agron adjust his posture and fingering.

At this time, the two of them were already very close to each other. While listening to the words in his ear, Agron felt the touch of her fingers on his hand, and his eyes fell on Agnes unconsciously. He has lost his sense of the birds in the distance.

Agnes also noticed Agron's absence, and she immediately noticed something was wrong, so she retracted her hand shyly, and then pretended to be calm and serious.

"Okay, I have already said what I should teach you, try it first, and use practice to accumulate experience!"

After she said that, Aegron also came back to his senses.

In embarrassment, he could only pretend that nothing happened, and then put his thoughts behind him. Following Agnes's instructions, he stretched the bowstring until it was close to his cheek, and then aimed it at the branch in the distance. stay of birds.

Then, he let go of his hand, and the energy accumulated when the bowstring was fully stretched was also transmitted to the arrow immediately, and the arrow flew towards the bird in an instant.

——However, unfortunately, he did not hit the prey, but only hit the tree trunk next to the bird.

After the arrow plunged into the tree trunk, it caused the tree trunk to shake slightly, and the birds flew away from the branches in panic.

"Missed!" Aegron cried regretfully.

"It doesn't matter, no one can hit all the shots." Agnes comforted him next to him, "For a beginner, your performance is already very good, at least your strength and direction are correct."

Agnes was not a pure compliment, but a genuine compliment - after all, Agron had just tried bow and arrow, and it was much better than when she first tried.

But it's not surprising. Like her, Aegron also has agile skills, sharp reaction speed, and extraordinary perception, which can make him use both swords and bows well.

"Do it again!" Agnes enthusiastically handed Agron another arrow.

After being praised by Agnes like this, Agron was naturally interested, so he took the arrow and began to bend the bow and arrow according to the previous posture.

But what is the goal?

With this doubt, Aegron turned his head and looked around.

Soon after, he found a new prey in the bushes in the forest not far away. It was a wild boar that was moving slowly. Its gray fur was stained with a lot of dust, and it looked quite large.

That's it!

Aegron immediately raised his bow and arrow and aimed at the prey.

Then, with a slight force in his fingers, the bow was fully drawn, and then he began to adjust his breathing.

Agnes next to him was giving him constant pointers, and he gradually couldn't hear clearly, and his whole body and mind had already been placed on the prey in the distance.

Just as he kept adjusting the angle, he suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, as if some voice was telling him that he could hit the prey.

It is now.

He let go of his hand, and then the arrow from the string ripped through the air, flew towards the prey with a soft sound, and plunged into the wild boar's skin fiercely.

"Shot!" Agron shouted loudly, then excitedly looked at Agnes next to him, showing off his victory to her.

He has to admit that using a bow and arrow is indeed a more artistic sense of hunting than using a musket to knock down the prey.

"You are indeed amazing." Agnes also laughed and praised his performance. "I feel like you can learn everything quickly..."

Then, her words suddenly stopped, and Aigron noticed something was wrong and followed her line of sight.

It turned out that although the wild boar was shot by him, it did not die. The arrow stuck in its body caused it pain and aroused its anger. It even rushed over here, as if planning to take revenge on these Humans who attacked it.

Aegron had never seen a similar scene, so he panicked a little for a moment.

But after a moment, he immediately came back to his senses and shouted at Agnes.

"Agnes, give me another arrow!"

Agnes came back to her senses now, and she hurriedly handed Agron another arrow from the quiver.

As soon as Aegron took the arrow, he stretched his bow to the full, and now he didn't care about his posture, and shot an arrow at the wild boar.

But unfortunately, because the wild boar is very fast, he missed this time.

This time the wild boar had rushed to him, and Aigron could already see its fangs.

In a hurry, he threw the bow to the ground, then picked up the musket on the ground—but the musket had run out of bullets.

He wanted to reload, but it was too late, the injured wild boar jumped directly towards him.

"Guards! Guards!" Aegron shouted while dodging.

However, in order not to disturb His Majesty's "Ya Xing", under the arrangement of Andre Davout, the guards were far away at this time, and this was a forest, so no one responded to Aegron's message in a hurry. shout.

"Agron!" Agnes also panicked at this time.

She subconsciously wanted to draw the long sword from her side, but was stunned to find that she was not carrying a saber today.

Aegron hurriedly turned sideways to avoid the wild boar's bite, almost rolled to the ground, and managed to control his balance.

Then he picked up the gun in his hand and swung it towards the boar like a stick.

The wild boar was hit on the neck, but it was really rough and fleshy, and after wailing, it immediately rammed the young man again.

Aegron did not expect that his leisurely hunting would suddenly turn into a fight with wild boars.

But at this time, he couldn't think so much. He could only use the shotgun in his hand as a weapon to fight against the wild boar. The wild boar couldn't stop slamming on him, trying to knock him down with his weight, but he could only do his best to fight against the wild boar. It wrestles.

Watching their fight, Agnes next to her was so anxious that her tears almost fell. She looked around and finally found a big rock by the river beach.

She picked up the stone, walked to Aegron's side, and smashed it **** the wild boar's head.

With their concerted efforts, the wild boar, who had been injured many times, finally couldn't stand it anymore and fell to the ground howling, and this "hunting" also ended with the victory of the human side.

Next to the fallen prey, the two were out of breath, not even caring to celebrate their victory.

They were all a little embarrassed at the moment, and their bodies were covered with mud.

After looking at each other, they couldn't help but laugh.

"If you can become an emperor in the future, then you will probably be the first emperor to be attacked by a wild boar." Agnes teased the young man with a smile. "If people in the world know that the supreme majesty is so embarrassed, they will be very disappointed, right? Hahahaha..."

In this situation, Aigron himself couldn't help laughing.

"But no one will know!" After laughing, Aigron replied, "I forbid you to tell others..."

"You can't order me..." Agnes shook her head and retorted.

"Why not?" Agron asked loudly.

Looking at Agnes' dusty face, Agron suddenly felt an indescribable throbbing in his heart.

how cute she is...

He wanted to keep this cuteness in his own hands.

Before he could react by himself, he reached out his hand subconsciously and took her hand.

Then he pulled her hard and pulled her into his arms.

"I order you to keep my secret!"
