Eagle’s Glory

After watching Princess Maria leave, Aigron reluctantly followed the path he had followed and returned to the original path.

At this time, his secretary Leon and the captain of the guard, Andre Davout, and others remained in place.

When they saw his figure reappear in the field of vision, these people were obviously relieved.

"Your Majesty!" Leon and Andre immediately greeted the young man, "Are you... okay?"

Aegron could see that while he was relieved, there were still some surprises and doubts in the eyes of these people.

Indeed, their actions just now were somewhat unexpected, and it was normal for them to be appalled.

"I'm fine, it's better to say I feel pretty good." Aegron replied with a smile.

Leon and Andre looked at each other, and then Andre boldly asked him again, "Is that lady just now someone you knew before? In the end... what is her identity?"

Aegron didn't change his smile, and then gave an answer that left them confused. "Yes, no. Anyway, don't ask any more questions. She won't cause us any trouble."

Aegron knew that they were still full of doubts, but as the lord, he didn't need to explain so much to others, he only needed to give orders for them to execute.

Sure enough, seeing Aegron's attitude, everyone didn't dare to ask any more questions. They just secretly rejoiced that no one came over just now, and it didn't cause trouble that could not have been caused. Of course, they couldn't have known. Someone had already arranged everything, and the chaos they feared would never happen.

In the silence of everyone, Aigron took out his pocket watch and looked at the time.

Although he did not feel the passage of time when he faced Princess Maria face to face, more than an hour had passed by now.

Fortunately, spending so much time was not enough to arouse suspicion—after all, it was normal to visit the palace as a guest.

"Okay, let's go back—" After putting away the pocket watch, he gave the order casually.

Then he added in a low voice, "You have to keep in mind what I told you just now."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Leon and Andre answered in unison, of course they knew what Aegron was referring to.

So, the group of them returned to the palace, and at this time, things on Teresa's side were almost over. The painter at the palace had already completed the idea of ​​painting with her, and the next stage was the painting stage, which means that the special Leisha no longer needs to spend her energy and attention, the rest is the artist's own work.

Because of this, Teresa was in a very happy mood, and when she saw her husband appearing in front of her, she burst into laughter.

"Aigron!" She walked cheerfully to the young man's side, "You came just in time, we just finished our work here... Hey, I'm exhausted."

"Hey, it's really hard for you, Teresa~" Aigron kissed her cheek, "but I think this kind of hard work is worth it, after all, your beauty will be forever remembered here, decorating this beauty the court."

"How can it be so exaggerated, I just hope that compared with other portraits, I won't be too disadvantaged~" Teresa replied with a smile, "Besides, can't you also leave a painting as a collection? I It has just been discussed with the painter that he will add some Bonaparte emblems to the painting that he presents to you."

"That's great! This will be the best gift I can get in Bavaria..." Aigron also laughed. "I'm a little grateful to His Majesty the King. If it weren't for his prudence in disregarding etiquette, he suddenly suggested that I would never have the chance to get such an unexpected joy!"

In front of his wife, he dealt with it calmly and calmly, without showing any abnormality. Just looking at this situation, who would have imagined that he was still chatting and laughing with another woman just half an hour ago?

Of course, Teresa was completely unaware that she was overjoyed and devoted herself to the joys of married life.

After the couple communicated intimately, they returned to their residence to rest together, showing inexhaustible affection and love.

Although it seems that the storm just now has been sealed in the past, Aigron knows in his heart that his next meeting with Princess Maria will not take too long, and he secretly looks forward to it.

On the second day, King Ludwig I invited the young couple to him again.

As soon as he saw the two of them, the king showed a very friendly smile.

"I was worried that the two of them weren't having enough fun in our quiet and dreary country, but now it seems that both of them are having a good time, which makes me really happy."

"Your Majesty, we are very grateful for your warm hospitality." Aegron replied quickly, "You don't have to worry about what opinions we have in our hearts, we are very happy."

"We will always keep in mind the respect we have received from you—" Teresa also spoke in a timely manner, "Your Majesty, you are the first king to entertain us with such courtesy, which touches me very much, and I sincerely hope Your country is prosperous, and if one day we have the opportunity to repay your kindness, we will do it."

The words of the couple made the king burst into laughter again. "Of course! Others may have a little prejudice against the Bonaparte family, but please believe that our family has absolutely no - on the contrary, we are full of goodwill."

Although he was obviously polite, Aegron felt in a trance that His Majesty the King looked at him with a little more playfulness.

Obviously, the king was teasing himself secretly.

He was slightly embarrassed, but on the surface he pretended not to be out of the ordinary.

He doesn't know how much the king knows about himself and Sophie, it depends on how much truth Princess Maria revealed to the king - but anyway, judging from the performance of His Majesty the king, he doesn't care about all this, and he doesn't care about it. No obstruction meant.

He was happily in front of the king and left countless affairs, so he didn't care about the affairs of a young man.

Seeing that the king was in a good mood, Aigron made his request at just the right time.

"Your Majesty, I am flattered by your hospitality, but I still have a small wish, I don't know if I can ask you to fulfill it."

"Please go ahead, Duke." His Majesty the King nodded immediately. "You can be as free as possible with us."

"I have always been full of respect for my righteous brother Ou Ren. Although he unfortunately passed away at a young age, his character and willpower are still a role model for me and my subordinates even today—" Aegron calmly He put forward his own request, "As a brother-in-law, I request to visit his widow, your sister Princess Auguste, and her family. Can you grant me permission?"

This request was completely reasonable, so His Majesty the King did not hesitate at all, and immediately nodded in agreement.

"Why do you ask me about this matter? Your Highness, I am a Catholic, if I do not allow you to see the bereaved family of your righteous brother, wouldn't it be contrary to the mercy taught by God? You can decide when Go, just tell my courtiers when the time comes, and they will arrange it for you."

"That's great." Aigron added another sentence, "Speaking of which, I have a maid named Chanel Noel. She was originally the orphan of an imperial soldier, and later defected to Prince Eugene. There, and after his arrangement, he served the Bavarian royal family. Later, as a dowry, he followed Her Royal Highness Sophie to Schönbrunn Palace... Then came to my side, and she was full of gratitude to Bavaria, especially to the Prince Eugene family. Affection."

"Oh! Is there any such thing?" The king sounded amused. "This little girl's experience is quite legendary."

"It's quite legendary." Aigron smiled, and then continued, "She served me well, she was loyal and adventurous, and she helped me a lot, so... Teresa and I are not just We treat her as a simple maid, we trust her, and even treat her as half a family member. By the way, in recognition of her contribution, I specially named her as a member of my knights - if one day I If she can get her wish, I will give her a higher title."

"Haha... It seems that she is really popular with you!" His Majesty the King became more and more curious, "I would like to see her a little bit, isn't she pretty?"

As expected of the Merry King, this question hit the nail on the head, and it made Aegron a little embarrassed all of a sudden.

"She is really good looking, but that's not the reason why we favor her so much, we are more grateful for her loyalty." Aegron reluctantly defended himself, "Your Majesty, I'm not telling you this just to tell you this. Just telling a story, I have an unkind request - Chanel grew up in Bavaria, there must be a lot of people who know her, and she must have been sullen to many people, it's not a happy memory... Besides Speaking of which, when we visit Prince Eugene's family, if Chanel can receive higher courtesy, then I must be able to comfort my righteous brother in the spirit of heaven."

The king opened his eyes slightly, surprised.

He didn't expect that the young man would actually consider this step for a maid beside him.

This young man is a passionate seed!

For a moment, the romantic king suddenly felt a sense of sympathy for the young man in front of him.

Kings are always nice to talk to pretty girls.

"That's perfectly fine!" His Majesty laughed, then nodded, "I can meet this lady Noel specially, and considering she is a member of your Order, I can also bestow her an honorary title—presumably This is enough to make her forget the shadow of her once being a servant girl with us, right?"

Then, there was a little more ridicule in his smile, "If Ms. Noel is really as beautiful as she imagined, I can invite her to take a photo here too - anyway, the painter is also ready-made, what do you think?"

For the absurdity of the king, Aegron only felt a mixture of laughter and laughter in his heart.

However, there is no harm anyway, and the other party is so easy to talk to, and he doesn't care about making the king happy.

"Of course, if she has the opportunity to take pictures in your palace and be remembered by the world, that would be her luck!" He agreed for Chanel.

"Okay, then we're done." His Majesty the King was also very happy, with a smile on his face, "My brother, in my opinion, beauty is beyond everything, it has nothing to do with wealth, and it has nothing to do with class - I just hate me The kingdom is a small country, and you can’t let all the beauties in the world stop and take pictures. If you can achieve great things in the future, I would be happy to share with you the pictures of those beautiful beauties in France, so that there will be more in my court. Different scenery…”

The king's frivolous words aroused a little interest in Aegron.

Aigron suddenly thought that Edgar de Treville once boasted that he had painted many portraits of Parisian beauties, and maybe he could let Edgar communicate with the king in the future. In order to deepen personal relations with the king?

"cough."

Seeing that the two of them talked more and more vigorously, Teresa couldn't help coughing and interrupted their conversation.

Teresa certainly didn't mind Chanel enjoying the dignified glory of "Homecoming," but seeing her husband talking about beauty with a middle-aged man made her unbearable.

"Your Majesty, let's get back to the point, the most important thing for us now is the choice of the king of Greece - I heard from my husband that you are interested in your second son Otto, can you let us see him Woolen cloth?"

He was interrupted when he was talking, and King Ludwig was not angry, just smiled and gave Aegron a meaningful look, then stopped the topic just now and looked at Teresa again. .

"It's natural, my son Otto is also very interested in you two legends, and he wants to meet you too." His Majesty's tone was still light, "If he is really lucky enough to get that crown, With his immature shoulders, I am afraid it is difficult to bear it on his own, so please support me in the future."

He is also implying that as long as Otto can become the king of Greece, he will not forget his kindness and will remember to protect the interests of the Aegron couple. After all, although Aegron has given up the throne of Greece, he still has many interests in Greece. .

For example, in return for his funding of the rebel army, he could get the right to operate some silver mines, and the new king must also acknowledge these rights.

Aigron was not afraid that the king he had chosen would not admit his account, but the more friendly the Bavarians were, the less trouble he would have.

Just as the two were talking, the court attendant brought a young man over.

He is not tall, looks like twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a uniform, moving briskly, but always seems a little hesitant. His face is quite ordinary, just because he has a very high standard of living since he was a child, he appears to be quite fair, but there is not much cleverness in his facial features.

Historically, he was nothing more than a mediocre ruler - eventually overthrown by an internal coup.

This is just right. If he is wise and talented, and young and extraordinary, Aegron will feel uncomfortable.

When he saw Aegron and Teresa, he looked a little excited, but because he wanted to try his best to appear solemn, he just stiffly bowed to Aegron and saluted.

"Your Highness, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Nice to meet you, Otto." Aigron was much more calm, he nodded at the young man with a smile on his face, "I think you must know what we want you to do. But I remind you beforehand that this It's not an easy job, it's a responsibility full of hard work and conviction... But you can count on us as protectors."
