Eagle’s Glory

Chanel happily accepted Aegron's new order. She ran out to make coffee, brought it back, and put it on the desk.

"Thank you, Chanel." Aigron said gently to Chanel while picking up the pen and paper. "Now, please sit down and enjoy your coffee. The coffee you brewed is very good."

His casual compliment made Chanel very proud. She sat next to the boy, bowed slightly, then took the cup and took a sip of coffee.

Aegron ignored her, but picked up the pen and wrote quietly on the paper. The tip of the pen made a slight rustling sound as it moved, which would only be interrupted briefly when he occasionally took a sip or two of coffee.

Chanel watched the boy quietly while drinking coffee, trying not to make any noise to disturb the master's thoughts.

She looked at the boy's profile, he was so focused, and there seemed to be no impurities in his sight. The sunlight outside the window fell on him obliquely through the glass. In the girl's eyes, it was like giving him Surrounded by dazzling brilliance.

In this way, time passed unknowingly, the cups beside the two had bottomed out, and the sky darkened.

Finally, Aigron stopped the pen, then threw the pen on the desk, then he rubbed his hand, and then stood up and stretched.

"Everyone says I'm humble, but I think I'm too arrogant and overestimated myself." After stretching, he looked at Chanel with a wry smile, "Writing is not as easy as I thought—"

He pointed to a small stack of manuscript papers in front of him. "Today's results are only so much."

"It doesn't matter, Your Highness, you are just a little rusty in a new field. After you get used to it, it will be very smooth." Chanel comforted him immediately, "You may think that I am complimenting you, but you My teachers have said that you are extremely talented, so...don't be discouraged."

"Thank you, Chanel." Agron smiled, "Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who gives up easily."

"Okay, then I'll clean up." Chanel stood up again, and then reached out to take the finished cup.

"Don't worry, Chanel." Agron shook his head and stopped the other party, "I'll clean up later, I want to ask you a few questions."

"What's the problem?" Chanel was a little puzzled, but still stopped.

"I promised your wish to avenge your revenge. There is no doubt that I will keep my promise and do it for you to the end." Aegron looked at the other side quietly, "Have you ever thought about doing it after the revenge is over? what?"

"After revenge..." Chanel's eyes became confused, then shook his head, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I haven't thought about this."

For her, who had nothing to rely on before, wanting to return to China to take revenge on those who can still do good in the local area is already illusory and almost delusional. She just insists on hatred to prevent herself from mental breakdown. It's just an obsession, and there's no time to think about what to do after revenge.

"I can't think of what to do, let's talk about it at that time." Finally, Chanel whispered.

"This is not good, Chanel." Aegron looked at her worriedly, "Hatred can be used as your motivation, but you shouldn't live by hatred alone, you should imagine the future, and be a peer often The dream that I have, maybe it can be realized? As long as I succeed."

Following Aegron's prompt, Chanel was silent and thought for a while.

A bright future... These words sound too illusory, but they seem so real at the moment.

"I can make you a marquis or a duchess, and then give you a marriage proposal. You can marry any noble boy you like, anyway, the French are always open to it." Aegron casually reminded, "If you are short of money then, I can also give you a large manor, so that you will be worry-free for the rest of your life."

Although Aegron seems to be casual, this is not a casual promise, but a very serious promise. After all, money is meaningless to the king, and its only function is to reward loyal subjects - especially for the Bonaparte family. This is especially true for a royal family that lacks roots.

Napoleon himself did not value money, nor did he care about extravagant life, but he was unbelievably generous to his subordinates. Juno, Ney, Berthier and others were even more famous for their extravagance. They depended on the emperor's grace. Rewards to cover their bills.

Although Chanel was a woman, she was also the first loyal follower he encountered. So as long as he made a comeback, he must be rewarded, otherwise, what reason would other people have to follow him?

"No... No need, Your Highness!" Chanel's reaction was beyond Aegron's expectations, she immediately shook her head and rejected Aegron's proposal.

"Huh?" Aegron was a little puzzled, "Aren't you satisfied?"

"No, I'm very satisfied with your kindness towards me. Not only satisfied, but full of gratitude, because...because no one has ever considered the future for me before." Chanel's voice was a little choked, "But, I...I'm just a An orphan who survives the catastrophe, what's the point of having a title? It won't make up for what I've lost. If you insist, I have a request..."

"What request?" Agron demanded.

"Please let me stay by your side and always take care of you... I have no relatives, and no one cares about me. The only mercy God gave me was to find an opportunity for me to serve you." Cried, "It's you, you make me feel like I can do meaningful things, so I want to be there for you forever. Since you asked me what I wanted for the future, this is my request, and you can say yes. ?"

Agron was a little surprised and looked at her blankly.

It seems that there is still loyalty that does not come from material desires in the world.

Not only was he happy, but he also felt a little underwhelmed - is he really worthy of such terrifying expectations and respect from others?

"I don't know if I'm worthy of you to do this, but since you asked for it, then I promise you." After thinking for a while, he nodded, "You can change your mind at any time."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Chanel was overjoyed, then wiped his tears with his sleeve, "You are so kind..."

"Okay, let's not talk about this topic." In order to relieve the two of them from the sudden sentimental atmosphere, Aigron changed the topic.

He picked up the manuscript paper and handed it to Chanel. "Look at this script."

Chanel took the manuscript paper respectfully and looked at it carefully.

Although it is a script, it is actually just a hurriedly rushed out story outline, with no character lines, only a rough setting:

A certain country, ruled by a domineering king, who is cruel to his subjects and equally cruel to his sons and daughters. For his own political purposes, he betrothed his youngest daughter to a large noble in the territory. The noble was much older than the princess, and his character was equally cruel and ruthless. He only treated his wife in a business-like manner.

After a few years of marriage, they gave birth to three children, but the princess' heart gradually withered, and her face gradually withered in the wasted years.

However, one day, at a banquet, a young noble fell in love with her at first sight, and then began to pursue her violently.

Under the love of the knight, the withered heart of the princess also blossomed, and they finally fell in love and became pregnant.

However, the good things did not last long, and the relationship was soon revealed. His Majesty the King was furious and decided to break them up. The princess and the young people agreed to flee to Switzerland, where they would start their new life incognito.

The princess' escape was successful, she checked into a hotel and gave birth to a beautiful child, but her sweetheart was delayed, and the princess was extremely anxious, worried that he had not escaped capture. However, not long after, she saw the news of the grand wedding of the young people in the newspaper, and then she received a letter from her husband, telling her that all the indignities were over, please go home early and do your wife's obligations.

In despair, she wrote to her father, husband and lover respectively, telling them that she would rather die than live for their decency. In the end, she came to the lake in Geneva and was relieved of everything in a trance.

"This is a tragedy..." Chanel sighed slightly sadly after reading it. "Your Highness, why did you write such a story?"

"No, the story doesn't matter at all, it's just—that metaphor." Aegron shook his head.

"What metaphor?" Chanel didn't understand for a while.

"This is what I call a family secret." Aegron shrugged, "Chanel, since we've come this far, I'll tell you in detail, you should know."

Aigron stood up, walked in front of Chanel, and lowered his voice, "My father has several brothers, he is the second, the eldest brother Joseph was the king of Spain, and then the third Lucien fell out with him. The other two brothers, Louis and Jerome, became kings of the Netherlands and Westphalia respectively—you know that, right?”

"Yes, I know." Chanel nodded. For a Bonaparte supporter, these must have been known for a long time.

"My eldest uncle Joseph has no son, but only one daughter; the third uncle, Lucien, let's not mention it, the former King Louis of the Netherlands, there are three sons in total, the eldest one has passed away, and there are two remaining, both of them have grown up Older, one is 22 and the other is 18. And these two cousins ​​of mine, very ambitious, eager to make a difference—" Aigron explained to her calmly, "Louis's wife, their mother, you know the Who?"

"I know!" Chanel nodded immediately, "It's Princess Autense, Autense-de-Bauarnet, the sister of Her Royal Highness Au Ren, of course I know."

"Yes, this is the key." Aigron smiled and shrugged. "She is the protagonist of the story, although she has changed her face. After she gave birth to three sons, she found a lover, Count Flao, of course I The name will be changed."

Yes, this was a family marriage led by Napoleon. He married his stepdaughter to his own younger brother. At that time, he had no son, and planned to let the son born by Aotangsi inherit his business.

However, the emperor made all the calculations, but he forgot the emotional factor in marriage. The couple didn't like each other from the beginning, and they just got together for politics. Although they had three sons together, Ao Tang Queen Silk has another love.

"Is that so...?" Chanel finally understood something.

Then, she thought of something, "So illegitimate child? Is it true?"

"Yes, she and her lover have an illegitimate child." Aigron nodded. "In 1811, in an unknown hotel near Lake Geneva in Switzerland, she secretly gave birth to a son for Count Flao."

"My God..." Chanel was surprised.

Chanel's surprise did not surprise Aiglon. At that time, Autensee kept this matter a secret for the sake of the family. Only later she wrote a memoir in her later years and her son Louis-Bonaparte restored the Second Empire and reused the illegitimate son. (As the Duke of Morne), this secret is widely known.

Of course, the current Queen Autensee did not commit suicide. She lived fairly well in Switzerland, and her lover had abandoned her as early as 1814 after the fall of the empire.

"So, you changed her deeds just to..." Chanel understood.

"Not only the story, I will also work on the details, and I will retell a few paragraphs of the letters from my poor sister Aotangsi or my aunt and lover, not for anything else but to let my cousins ​​know." Iger Long smiled, "They will find me, I believe in their ability..."

After a pause, Aegron added, "And ambition."
