Eagle’s Glory

"Before I go back to France this time, I have to prepare her a birthday present."

The Aigron speaker was indifferent, but it caught Teresa's attention.

Although she has not seen Mrs. Alice in person, she has heard her existence many times from her husband and others around her, and when these people mention Alice, they all give quite good comments.

She is Agnes' sister, and she is so admired by Agnes, she must have something special.

Although Teresa was very disgusted with Edgar, this disgust did not extend to Mrs. Alice. On the contrary, she was a little curious and even a little sympathetic-such an excellent girl, but unfortunately, she was unkind. With such a husband, you may suffer in the future...

It is precisely because of the sympathy in her heart that her attitude has also softened a lot.

"Yes, I think so too." She nodded lightly, "Since you once had a relationship with Mrs. Alice, and you gave her daughter a name at her request, then this also means that we You have a fate with this child, maybe her birth will bring you good luck too."

"It doesn't seem to be a problem to say that." Aegron laughed immediately, "Since I gave her a name and she fell to the ground, my fortune has risen all the way, and finally came to today. She is a good omen, heralding The arrival of good luck, I am now a little regretful that I did not propose to be her godfather! In this case, I guess I will be able to hand in more good luck. "

Aigron's joke made the other two laugh out loud, especially the Marquis of Treville, who was even more excited. He didn't want to let go of this opportunity to please the benefactor, "Your Majesty, you have this idea now. Chi, if you are willing, I will let you and Her Majesty the Queen be his godfather and godmother! This must be the honor of her life."

"That's not necessary." Before Aegron could speak, Teresa politely rejected the Marquis' proposal, "We are still very young, and even our own children have not yet been born, so it is not good to be someone else's godmother rashly. ."

Just kidding, Teresa hates Edgar so much, she doesn't want to be related to this guy.

Perhaps she felt that her reason was untenable, and Teresa immediately changed the subject, "The Treville family is a famous family from the old family, and Mrs. Alice is also a famous girl. I want to come to Miss Xialu in the future. A girl with beauty and character will surely become the most dazzling pearl in Paris."

"You've already won the prize." The Marquis of Treville didn't ask any more, but showed humility indifferently.

In his heart, he was a little annoyed. It didn't matter to him that others looked down on him and his son, but it was unbearable for him to look down on his precious granddaughter in person.

It's just that he is under the eaves now, so of course he can't turn his back on Teresa, he just swears in his heart that he will educate Xia Lu well in the future, so that his granddaughter will live up to his expectations, and treat Queen Teresa's contempt today as if it were a problem. Repay the number.

Teresa couldn't feel the anger in the general's heart at the moment, she looked at Aegron again, "Dear, what gift do you think we should give?"

It was Aigron's trouble with this question.

Theoretically speaking, he still has a lot of precious jewelry in his hand, and if he gives away any one, he can be envied by others, and he will never be rude; but he has to choose one, otherwise, if he chooses one, it will not reflect the incompetence. Show your kindness and wooing towards Alice and the entire Treville family.

"How about we give her a gemstone pendant?" After thinking for a moment, Aigron suggested, "Put our initials on it as our blessing to her and protect her healthy growth."

"Okay!" Of course Teresa had no need to object, so she agreed directly.

She is also responsible for keeping Aegron's jewelry, and she has made a detailed list. Naturally, she knows every piece of jewelry well, even better than Aegron herself. She immediately filtered it in her mind, and then picked out her The most suitable one.

"We have a very nice ruby ​​pendant, red means passion and hope, just right for a child, but the chain of the pendant needs to be replaced with a new one and engraved with our names and blessings... when I get back to Ioannina I'll just ask someone to make it, and it should be delivered to Paris before Xia Lu's birthday."

Aigron looked at the marquis, as if asking for his opinion.

For the Marquis of Treville, it was already an honor for Xia Lu to receive a gift from the Lord. He didn't have the courage to choose, so he just nodded.

"Well, let's give this gift to Xia Lu." Aegron finally made a decision.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Our family will always remember this kindness." The Marquis apologized to Aegron gratefully - this time, his gratitude brought a bit of sincerity. "I will let Xia Lu wear this pendant all the time. With your blessing, she will grow up healthy and safe."

"It's just a little gift, don't take it so seriously." Aigron smiled and spread his hands, "Compared to what you have paid for our Bonaparte family, this gift is really not worth mentioning. I hope you can continue in the future. Work for us—"

It was precisely because of Xia Lu's interlude that the atmosphere of this dinner became more harmonious. It could be said that the guests and the host enjoyed themselves. It was not until late at night that Aigron let Andre Davout take the Marquis of Treville to leave Ning the same way. Feinburgh Palace, staying in the surrounding hotels - after all, the Marquis of Treville has a special status, and he left the country under a pseudonym. Aigron did not want to cause trouble for the Treville family.

Over the next few days, instead of summoning the Marquis, Aigron secretly contacted the Marquis through André Davout while he took care of the rest.

He wrote to the Greek side, informing him that he had agreed to let Prince Otto of the Wittelsbach family take over the Greek throne, so that they could prepare for the king and the enthronement ceremony; The father and son must have a good relationship with King Otto and his Bavarian advisers in the future to help them manage the entire country-although he also knows that this kind of political contradiction cannot be solved by just one or two letters. But a shot is always a good thing.

After dealing with these matters at hand, Aigron offered to meet King Ludwig I, and then bid him farewell.

The king was not surprised or regretful after hearing this, but he made a very surprised and reluctant look according to the etiquette.

"My friend, are you tired of our country so soon? We want to continue to entertain you."

For a long time, King Ludwig was worried that because of Aegron's identity, if he stayed in Bavaria for a long time, the relationship between Bavaria and the Kingdom of France would become sharply opposed, and Aegron surreptitiously met the anonymous supporters who came from France. This aggravated his worry, and now that Aigron took the initiative to leave, he naturally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, I like your country and your palace very much. Living with you, I received unexpected courtesy, and it made me linger..." Aegron also said some polite words in accordance with the etiquette, " If you let me choose, of course I am willing to continue to be your guest, but unfortunately, you also know that I am a busy person, and there are too many things to do, the reality will not allow me to delay too much in comfort time."

"Hey, we are all unlucky **** who can't help ourselves." The king sighed half-truths, and then hugged Aigron's shoulders friendly, "I can understand your difficulties, after all, we all shoulder too many responsibilities. And hope, we can't let us escape! In this case, I will not keep you forcibly, I wish you a smooth journey - if you have free time in the future, you can also visit us again, King Wittelsbach The door of the court is always open for you..."

"Thank you—your generosity and enthusiasm will always be remembered in my heart." Aegron thanked again.

Originally, Aegron thought that the polite remarks of the two should be over, and the next thing was to wave goodbye. However, what he did not expect was that His Majesty the King seemed to have something on his mind, with a look on his face hesitant to say anything.

"Your Majesty, do you have anything else to tell me?" Out of curiosity, Aegron couldn't help asking.

"It's not a big deal--" His Majesty shook his head, then looked at Aigron curiously, "Duke, I've been holding back something in my heart for a long time, but it's just due to etiquette and Princess Teresa's face. So I just didn’t ask it. Since we are about to say goodbye today, and we don’t know when we can see each other again in the future, I think it’s better to just ask, so as not to leave any doubts in my heart…”

Hearing these words, Aegron probably guessed what the king was going to ask.

Sure enough, the king did not hesitate and asked the question, "What is your relationship with my sister, Princess Sophie? I have heard some rumors, and judging from the harsh attitude of the Austrian royal family towards her after you escaped , it should be something..."

Next, he looked at Aegron with inquiring, even a little playful, eyes, waiting for his answer.

A flash of embarrassment flashed across Aigron's face, and only then did he realize that although King Ludwig I in front of him looked enthusiastic and even a little funny, he was a king after all, and he had a national intelligence network.

More importantly, he was Sophie's older brother, and it was too easy for him to know something.

Now that he was questioned in person, Aegron felt that there was no need for him to dodge.

"I... I do have an affair with her." He pondered for a moment, then replied.

"Oh, that's true." The king was not surprised, but nodded clearly, and then patted Aegron on the shoulder, "It's not easy for both of you."

The king himself was a romantic seed, and of course he would not be angry with such an affair, and Aigron knew this too - it was because he knew that he dared to admit it to his face.

However, a strange and dangerous thought suddenly flashed in Aegron's mind-why not tell him a more important and secret part of the plot?

As a matter of fact, no one else should know about this. This is a secret between him and the Austrian royal family, but if the Bavarian royal family knows about it, it seems that there is no problem - in the worst case, for the face of their own family. , the king will not preach everywhere; and in the best case, perhaps a little help for Sophie and Kristel.

Since you can make a profit without losing money, why not give it a try?

Anyway, he has already made up his mind that he will make Kiristher his public illegitimate daughter in the future. In this case, there is no problem in finding the kinship of her mother's family for Kiristel—anyway, sooner or later they will is to know.

"As of now, our affair has ended, but our love for each other has added an eternal testimony." Aigron whispered to the king, "I only learned after the fact, her name is Ke Lister."

Aegron's tone was calm, but the king sounded like thunder.

What shocked him was not their affair, but that they had come this far despite everything.

"You...you guys are so imprudent!" After a while, he came out of his shock, and then asked loudly, "It's okay to play, why do you save everyone's face when you make such a thing? No wonder... No wonder the old Emperor Franz is so furious."

"I don't think he is so angry. He is just angry that I dared to refuse his favor and run away from his hand." Aegron replied slightly sharply.

Then, he sighed again, "In short, things have already happened, and it's too late to regret. When I found out, everything was irreversible, and I could only watch their mother and daughter suffer... I was very sad, but I can't find someone to talk to, so I can only keep it in my heart. Your Majesty, I can finally tell others today, and I feel a lot better."

However, His Majesty the King showed no signs of "feeling well". He looked at Aegron with a strange expression, and he could not see much joy or anger.

Although Aigron knew that this was impossible, he suddenly subconsciously worried that King Ludwig Longyan was furious, and then waved orders to the knife and axemen who were lying in ambush beside him, to dismember the little thief who "destroyed his house".

To his surprise, the king actually raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

And just moments later, the tassel behind him was slowly lifting.

Hey, did you really ambush the swordsman? What kind of trouble is this? It's just an affair, why are you reacting so violently! Haven't you done it many times yourself!

For a moment, Aigron was first shocked by the king's "big fuss", and then his body immediately bleeds faster, and all the muscles in his body suddenly tense, ready to attack on the spot and hold the king hostage - not his boasting, this Merry King He was middle-aged, and with a bloated body, it looked like he had not been trained. Aigron decided that he could beat a few at a time. As long as he started, he could easily hold the king in his hands.

As long as the king is in his hand, he believes that no one dares to greet him with a random knife or a random gun. In this case, he can think about how to leave with Teresa and his subordinates.

But just as he was thinking about it, he keenly sensed that there was only one person behind the fringe.

"His Royal Highness Maria?" He saw the person clearly, and then asked in astonishment.
