Eagle’s Glory

"Who is your allegiance?"

Edgar's questioning made Chanel suddenly feel angry for no reason - how could anyone dare to question his loyalty?

"I'm French, and my allegiance will always be to Your Majesty. For His Majesty, I'd rather give everything!" she hissed, "Is that even a question?"

"Isn't that very clear...?" Edgar suddenly smiled slightly, and then spread his hands slyly, "You are only loyal to Your Majesty, so why do you question or reprimand me on behalf of Your Highness Teresa? I He is obviously the same person as you, and like you, he is willing to sacrifice his life for His Majesty—"

"Where is the same?" Chanel was so angry that he was about to laugh, and couldn't help but glared at the other party, "I didn't do anything like you."

Although he was taught by Chanel face to face, Edgar did not show any anger, but continued to talk freely, "Since it's now, I'll admit it to you, yes, I did plan to match His Majesty and Agnes, But so what? Isn’t this thought that shows my loyalty to His Majesty? It’s not just me, when we first met in Switzerland, Alice also considered letting Agnes marry him…”

Hearing Edgar lift up Mrs. Alice, Chanel hesitated for a while, "I can understand Mrs. Alice's thoughts, but... But Your Majesty has a fiancée after all, and Your Majesty will definitely marry her, although I Sorry for Miss Agnes too, but maybe it's fate."

"Even if His Majesty is married, so what? Does anyone rule that he can only love his own wife? That's too demanding for a king..." Edgar said again when he said this. He laughed deeply, "As ministers, we are obliged to try our best to meet any wishes of His Majesty, even if it is just a whim, right? Not to mention others, if His Majesty, um...if you have any needs, Would you refuse it forcefully? I'm afraid this is not in line with your loyalty?"

He was serious on the surface, but he was actually joking, even close to joking. Of course, Chanel could hear the hint, so that she was ashamed and angry all of a sudden, and almost had a seizure.

However, she also knew that the other party was right. If His Majesty had any "needs" for her, she would definitely be very willing to cooperate, and even actively wanted to beg His Majesty's mercy.

So Edgar's rebuttal is right to the point - you have offered yourself a pillow seat to His Majesty, so what qualifications do you have to accuse him of bringing in His Majesty and Agnes?

Just because Edgar was logically irrefutable, Chanel was speechless for a moment.

According to the normal communication etiquette in the upper class, Edgar's words are already seriously disrespectful, and it is not an exaggeration even for Chanel to interrupt the conversation directly.

However, Chanel was unwilling to just walk away. In her mind, her intimate relationship with His Majesty was the most important honor in her life, and she would not allow anyone to make fun of it.

"I follow His Majesty, and I am willing to give everything for him. Whenever and wherever His Majesty makes any request to me, I will fulfill it with joy, without asking for any gain or loss." She blushed and resisted the shame and retorted. The other party, "But I know what I should be doing, I never thought about destroying the relationship between Your Majesty and His Highness Theresa, and I never thought about getting anything out of it, as long as His Majesty is happy... So, you What qualifications do you have to say that we are the same? You are just using Miss Agnes to flatter and please Your Majesty, and take the opportunity to seek His Majesty's favor!"

Because of his anger and anger, Chanel simply tore his face, and pointed out the words directly, and there was no more politeness.

However, although her words were very unpleasant, Edgar was not angry. On the contrary, he had already seen that this lady maid was guilty of shortness of breath and chaos in front of her own words.

Hmph, although she was favored in front of His Majesty, but after all, she has never seen anything in the world. Even if she puts on a mighty stance in front of her, she is essentially just a little girl who is easy to play with.

Edgar, who has been tempered in the social field of Paris and has won the favor of countless ladies, is quite relaxed when dealing with Chanel.

"Miss Chanel, I have never questioned your loyalty, but why do you use such vicious words to question my loyalty?" He sneered and asked, "You are mistaken—the reason why the situation has developed so much It's all because of His Majesty's own wishes, can I still force His Majesty and Agnes to fail? Your Majesty likes Agnes, do you think it's wrong?"

In the face of this cross-examination, Shanel's momentum weakened again.

Although this is a fact, even if the facts are there, she is not willing to admit that His Majesty will be wrong no matter what.

"It's all the result of your deliberate deception..."

"What is deception? Don't you think that the mere mere faction is qualified to deceive the incomparably wise Your Majesty? Chanel, you also think too highly of me." Edgar retorted the maid with a smile, "It is His Majesty's own pleasure. , I'm just doing my best to help him out of my duty, if you think what you're doing is right, then I don't know what I'm doing wrong! If you think it's flattery, I can only say , I am honored to have this opportunity to flatter your Majesty!"

After being refuted by Edgar with a gun and a stick, Shanel suddenly lost his words again.

Although she knew that the other party was arguing, she suddenly didn't know how to refute the other party.

As the person closest to His Majesty, Chanel of course knew that His Majesty was not the kind of person who would restrain his desires. In order to satisfy his desire to have fun, he even deliberately seduced His Highness Sophie.

And a girl like Miss Agnes is indeed very attractive, and even Chanel himself is secretly heartbroken, even if His Majesty is moved, it is not surprising.

Rather - of course?

So, what is the reason to accuse Edgar?

"Your Majesty has His Majesty's own thoughts, I really can't interfere, but His Majesty Teresa is very unhappy. As His Majesty's fiancée, she does not want to see these rumors cast a shadow between her and His Majesty-" After thinking for a while, Chanel finally found a reason.

"So, didn't I question you just now? Is your allegiance Your Majesty or Teresa?" Edgar immediately asked back, "Does it mean that every time His Majesty wants to get Teresa, you need to get Teresa? His Highness's consent? Is His Majesty to be her answer, and let another Austrian woman rule the future court of the Empire?"

Chanel bit her lip lightly, then shook her head. "Of course not. His Majesty's actions do not require the approval of His Highness Teresa. But...their marriage is of great importance, and at this time, there is absolutely no room for mistakes, if His Highness Teresa is angry , then how will it end? If you are truly unselfish and only want to be loyal to Your Majesty, you should know this."

"Well, I admit that this marriage is irresistible now, and of course I will not destroy His Majesty's plan and become a sinner." Edgar smiled and shook his head, "But getting married does not mean that His Majesty will do this Abstinence, isn't it? Since you have served His Majesty since his time at the Austrian Court, you should know that people can find emotional solace in other places than marriage—if His Majesty decides that he and Theresa His married life needs some other adjustments, so what's wrong with him wanting it from Agnes?"

Chanel's eyes widened, stunned for a while.

She did not expect that the handsome young man in front of her would be so brazen that she publicly said that her wife and sister could be a mistress.

It seemed that Princess Teresa saw it right, and the Treville family had this idea from the beginning - she finally fully believed it.

"That...that's Miss Agnes..." she hissed. "Would she be willing to do such a thing?"

"Dear Miss Chanel, sometimes people's decisions are an accidental state of affairs, which will change according to objective circumstances." Edgar shrugged gently, "Agnes's current thoughts may not be the same as future thoughts. will agree."

Hearing the other party's answer, Chanel was also secretly relieved.

She had a good impression of Agnes, so she was a little afraid that Agnes would also take the initiative to cooperate with Edgar's plan, otherwise her image in her mind would collapse.

Now it seems that this is just Edgar's calculations.

But what position should I occupy in it? She was suddenly hesitant.

According to Princess Teresa's will, she should continue to scold Edgar severely, and then ask him to put away his thoughts and restrain His Majesty from deviating from the way; but Edgar's question just now hit her vital point— Since you yourself have taken the initiative to deviated from His Majesty, what reason do you have to accuse others of doing the same?

And in the final analysis, all these are His Majesty's own thoughts, what reason do you have to force change?

For a while, she became a little upset, not knowing how to deal with the current situation.

Seeing that he had completely suppressed Chanel in his aura, Edgar felt more comfortable, and he continued with a smile on his face, "Chanel, I don't deny what I did, but my own purpose. , but for His Majesty, if Agnes is with him, it will definitely benefit us greatly."

"Where did you start?" Chanel was a little puzzled.

"Isn't it obvious? Louis XVI and the emperor both married Austrian women, and one was guillotined and the other was forced to die in a foreign land. The French people are tired of their mother from Austria. I think, Her Royal Highness Theresa. I am afraid that they will not be able to get their love from their hearts. After all, she is a foreigner. Her growth and her emotions are difficult to empathize with the French." Edgar continued word by word, "But Agnie Si is different. She is the most eye-catching flower after our own famous family. She will be loved by everyone, so she can also help your majesty to win the hearts of the people. I just think of your majesty's cause. This decision will be made!"

Although these words were actually groundless, Edgar spoke confidently, as if adding incomparable persuasion to himself.

Then, he looked at Chanel again, and continued, "Also, think about it again, His Majesty himself grew up from abroad, and so far his relationship with the Austrians is still unbreakable, wouldn't the people think about this? Indifferent? The French would like to see His Majesty surrounded by the French, and Agnes is the best candidate - have you forgotten? Kings who married the queens of the Medici, or the Habsburgs They all have French women who are closer to them. This is a great historical tradition of our country, and it is a necessary move. How can foreigners be allowed to dominate our court?! For kings, marriage is only necessary to obtain legitimate children. That's all, but the affections of our king should remain on the land of France!"

Edgar said these words not to fool Chanel alone.

In fact, this is also a situation he deliberately created.

He never cared about the difference between the French and the Austrians in his heart, and he never felt any disgust for Princess Teresa, but for his own sake, he deliberately spread a kind of anti-foreigners among Aigron's clique. feeling of exclusion—

This feeling of exclusion is actually deep in the heart of every French, so he can easily do it.

He used this rhetoric to create a "true French" image for Agnes, and then used the history of French kings marrying foreign princesses but staying close to their own mistresses to increase his persuasion, advocating that only through this historical tradition to win the hearts of the people.

Regardless of whether Agnes is willing or able to take on this responsibility, as long as the people around His Majesty and the French think she can, then she has actually done it.

If Agnes really becomes popular, then it doesn't matter whether she is a legal wife or not, and the Treville family will also become the core backbone of the court because of their relationship with Agnes - even if she completes her father's task .

And his remarks undoubtedly touched Chanel.

Chanel is also a French, and as a diehard supporter of the empire, she has deep-rooted hostility to all "foreigners" because of the seven anti-French alliances.

If there were no foreigners, then she wouldn't be in ruins.

This kind of hostility was slightly suppressed by Princess Teresa's deliberate grace and co-op, but deep down, she still didn't have much intimacy with Princess Teresa.

And Miss Agnes, that is completely different, that is the real "oneself".

Under his words, Chanel suddenly found himself completely shaken.

But... Princess Teresa's advice also echoed in her mind, and she was unwilling to do anything that would harm Her Royal Highness.

All kinds of thoughts came flooding in her mind, so that she was a little overwhelmed all of a sudden.

"Okay, please come back today, I'll go and talk to Miss Agnes in detail." Finally, she issued an expulsion order.
