Eagle’s Glory

Agron remained motionless, silently watching Teresa leave.

Before saying these words, he had expected various reactions from Teresa, ranging from casual to furious, and he was even mentally prepared to have nothing to do with Teresa from now on. At this moment, her reaction was far beyond his expectations.

She was obviously angry, but the anger didn't seem to be directed at herself, but rather believed that someone was instructing her.

He could only sigh to himself that a girl of this age is really too difficult to understand, especially a delicate mind like Teresa.

However, no matter what, at least she agreed to her request, and that was enough.

With a little self-comfort, he also stepped back and walked towards the villa.

When he returned to the living room, His Majesty the Emperor had also returned from his morning walk and hunting.

The prey harvested by His Majesty was naturally handled by an attendant. He changed out of his hunting outfit, then walked to the fireplace and sat down to rest.

It could be seen that His Majesty the Emperor was in a very good mood. After chatting with His Majesty the Queen for a while, he waved to Aegron.

"Franz, can you pass the time with us?"

"Of course." Aegron of course agreed immediately.

"Then let's play cards for a while—" His Majesty the Emperor looked at the Queen and suggested.

"Okay, Your Majesty." Queen Caroline agreed immediately.

So, His Majesty the Emperor waved his hand, and the attendant immediately brought a deck of cards and put them on the coffee table.

His Majesty the Emperor looked at Teresa who had been sitting in the corner silently, "Teresa, can you come and play whist with us?"

The whist card game, which originated in the United Kingdom, has already swept the European continent at this time. Whether it is a court aristocrat or a country gentleman, they all like to come to whist for a few laps to pass the time. His Majesty the Emperor who came out to experience the leisurely rural life, of course, will also enjoy this kind of fun.

At the same time, Whist Solitaire is a four-player game, and they are matched in pairs, and they are played in groups. The two Majesties are naturally a group, and he deliberately let Aigron and Theresa accompany the game, the intention is naturally self-evident.

Teresa was a little surprised at first, then hesitated a little, and glanced at Aegron.

"I...I'm not going to be too good at this."

"It's okay, we're not good at this, it's just to pass the time." His Majesty the Emperor replied with a smile, "Besides, you and Franz are both very smart, and the young people are quick-witted, if you match up, you will definitely It’s an eye-opener for us.”

His words made a pun, which immediately made Teresa a little shy, and then His Majesty looked at Agron again, "Franz, it is a man's responsibility to take care of a lady. You will definitely do your best to take care of Teresa, right?"

His Majesty the Emperor has already mentioned this, and Aegron had no choice but to nod, "I will try my best to help Teresa, but I don't think winning or losing is important."

"Yes, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, just be happy." His Majesty the Emperor waved his hand, and the four of them sat down beside the table and started the card game before lunch.

Whist is the predecessor of bridge, and the basic rules are similar. The focus is on the cooperation and thinking between two people.

Aegron observed for a while and knew that Teresa's level was indeed quite average, and the cards were not played in the best way—of course, the same is true for His Majesty the Emperor and Queen, so in order not to disappoint everyone, he also deliberately played cards casually, The card battle between the royal family members at the core of the empire became a mess, but it was a bit of fun with ups and downs.

His Majesty the Emperor is mainly to pass the time. He really doesn't really care about winning or losing. He plays cards and chats with the other three people.

After chatting for a while, the topic inadvertently fell to Aigron again.

"Franz, after I went to rest, did you and Teresa still chat last night?" asked His Majesty the Emperor.

"No. Because it was too late and we were all a little tired, so we said goodbye soon and went to rest." Aegron replied while playing cards.

"How can young people get tired so easily?" His Majesty the Emperor shook his head, as if he was a little dissatisfied. "Wait a minute, if you have time, let's go out for a walk together, while we still have time here, make sure it's settled as soon as possible - you'd better cherish your young time, when we are at our age, it's too late to reminisce. now..."

"Your Majesty, please allow me to disagree on this point." At this time, Teresa suddenly interjected.

"Huh?" His Majesty the Emperor was a little puzzled, "What opinion?"

"I heard everything you said last night. I'm glad that you have such a high regard for His Royal Highness Franz, but in another respect it makes me less happy... I doubtless hope that in the future I will have an order A proud husband, but if he is only used as a rein or chain, it will be a bit too self-respecting, and it will also be a kind of damage to my friendship with him." Teresa watched calmly. His Majesty the Emperor said calmly, "So I think it's better for us to get to know each other first, and then decide our future. You should stop interfering, or I'm afraid it will have the opposite effect... "

This sudden remark made His Majesty the Emperor's face change instantly. He has been the emperor for more than 30 years, and he has never been refuted in the empire.

"Did you think his mother made up her mind after seeing Napoleon?" he said, frowning a moment later, "actually she's been very lucky a few times, Teresa."

"I admire Grand Duke Louisa's sacrifice, but because of this, I am even more afraid of repeating the same mistakes." Although Teresa was a little nervous, she was not intimidated by His Majesty's reaction, and continued to say, "Since my father I got the right, so why can't I use it? Of course, if you have to command me with a will beyond the law, that's fine, but then you have to admit that what you said before was just fooling me It's just..."

As soon as the guilty words were spoken, the people present were so horrified that they were speechless. For a while, needles could be heard in the entire living room, and everyone looked at each other in dismay.

It’s just that Aigron probably understands why—Teresa doesn’t want to let herself take responsibility for destroying His Majesty’s wishes.

He just didn't expect that Teresa, who was so angry before, not only did not embarrass herself at this time, but took the initiative to take the responsibility on her head.

Heart is really good.

But it's too bold.

If His Majesty the Emperor is really furious, what should she do? Agron was a little worried.

"Your Majesty, I think Teresa's words make sense." Because he was worried, he also took the initiative to speak, "I think it may be better to let it go than to force an order, at least Archduke Karl would definitely prefer his daughter to have a smile. Instead of marrying with a sad face."

After he deliberately moved out of Archduke Karl, His Majesty the Emperor finally controlled his anger a little.

"What a willful little girl!" His Majesty the Emperor frowned, then put all the cards on the table, and then stood up, "Let's come here first today."

After he finished speaking, he strode upstairs directly, Her Majesty the Queen followed along, and the people next to him did not dare to come out, and they all left, and soon only the two of them were left in the living room.

Teresa remained silent in her seat, not showing any signs of fear.

Then she silently gathered up the cards on the table and stacked them together.

"Teresa," Agron whispered to her, "Thank you, but you don't have to do this."

At this time, Teresa raised her head slightly and looked at the young man in front of her, "Your Highness, if I don't do this, then there is no hope at all. You don't need to thank me, but you should be afraid of me."

"What?" Agron was surprised. "Afraid of you?"

"Yeah, of course." Teresa smiled slightly, "I already gave you a chance, Aigron. Just now, as long as you put in a little effort, you can make me nod... I'm afraid it won't be so easy in the future, If you want to propose to me in the future, you must kneel down and beg me before I nod."

Aegron's expression became very strange, as if he wanted to laugh but couldn't.

I kneel down to propose to you? How can it be.

Just imagining this picture made him feel ridiculous.

But he wasn't angry either. Teresa was obviously hurt by herself, so she was just angry.

The girl's self-esteem is really strong.

"Don't believe me?" Teresa seemed to see what he was thinking, and she still smiled, "I will do it. I just hope you don't regret today's rashness."

"If there is such a day, I won't regret it," Aegron couldn't help laughing, "but I don't think it will happen."

Teresa glared at him, as if to say wait and see.

"Our family's invitation to you remains the same." She looked at the boy with a little challenge, "His Royal Highness, are you okay to come?"

"Of course I'm still happy to visit." Aegron nodded.

"Okay, Your Highness, I'm looking forward to you." Teresa bowed her knees slightly and walked out of the living room.

Perhaps because of today's turmoil, His Majesty the Emperor has obviously lost his pleasure in traveling, and his spirit has become much more exhausted.

On the second day, Her Majesty the Queen took some time out and summoned Aegron once again.

"I really didn't expect such a thing to happen." Her Majesty the Queen was a little puzzled and fortunate, "However, this will save you a little difficulty in the event of an accident."

"I didn't expect this to happen," Aegron replied.

"She's such a quirky person, God knows what she's thinking." Her Majesty the Queen bit her lip, "I've never seen anyone push her head like that."

"No, she's not an odd person." Aegron retorted Her Majesty's words, "She's a good person."

"..." Her Majesty looked at him suspiciously.

Then, she changed the subject, "However, His Majesty's will will not change, you better do it yourself. Goodbye, sir."

After the end of the night, the Habsburg royal family's country trip ended.
