Eagle’s Glory

"I just discovered it from his private documents, please take a look..."

"What!" Because the news was so shocking, Andre was stunned for a moment and actually forgot to reach out and take the letters.

He and Edgar had a pretty good relationship with each other. Although he looked down on each other's carefree manner, they were still good friends. He thought he understood Edgar a little bit - because he understood him, so He would not believe that Edgar would collude with the royal party.

How could a man like Edgar, who only thought about dissolute enjoyment, be interested in actively taking risks and participating in political struggles?

After the initial shock wore off, Andre took the pieces of paper and scanned them roughly.

"Prince Kadiyan wants him to try to rescue the princess?" He quickly understood the general content.

This letter did not specifically name Edgar. Strictly speaking, it did not seem to be considered much evidence. He was not even sure whether it was written by Prince Kadiyan himself - after all, he had never met the exile. Prince.

However, the content of the letter suddenly brought back some memories in him.

He clearly remembered that after entering the palace, Edgar would gather and chat with him and other guard officers in the palace, and they would always intentionally or unintentionally lead the conversation to certain topics, such as... Princess Kadiyan.

When the two of them were drinking coffee together, Edgar also specifically mentioned that the princess gave him precious coffee beans. At that time, Andre also made a joke, saying that the two of them must have a lot of "friendship".

These suspicious things, if there is no "trigger", are indeed inconspicuous, but if there is a reason and they are connected in series, it will feel very suspicious.

Yes, Edgar must have an ulterior motive for entering the palace! And it must have something to do with Princess Kadiyan.

Andre made a decision.

After he made his judgment, the credibility of this letter without beginning or end suddenly became much higher.

No matter what, once "anti-party" is involved, even if there is only 1% risk, it must be faced with a 100% attitude, and there must be no negligence.

So, after thinking for a while, Andre quickly made a decision.

"Madam, thank you for your impartial report.

I will deal with it right away. Please go back first and wait for the news. "

Then, he comforted Alice in a low voice, "Of course, from what I know about Edgar, he won't do anything dangerous or stupid. This crisis may not be as serious as we thought... In short, please first Relax, I will try my best to inform you of any news."

In his opinion, Alice, who had just learned that her husband was a traitor to the party, and was forced to run out and "exterminate her relatives" must have been under great mental pressure and pain, so he should comfort him both emotionally and rationally - he Who would have thought that what Alice wanted was to intensify the situation?

The worse things got, the more satisfied she felt - because Edgar would definitely not be able to get away easily.

What she wants is to make Edgar and Victor pay a heavy price to satisfy her desire for revenge.

"Okay, then I'll leave everything to you." On the surface, Alice still showed a weak and painful look, and gently said goodbye to Andre, "No matter what happens, Please treat it from the standpoint of His Majesty and the Empire, without considering my relationship with Edgar and you..."

"Madam, the empire needs loyal ministers like you." Andre was naturally deeply moved by Alice's statement. While praising him, he hurried away with the evidence given by Alice.

Immediately, Andre ran in front of Aigron. At this time, Aigron was in the study. He had just finished a day of official duties and felt extremely tired. When he saw Andre appear in front of him in a hurry, he was a little strange.

"Andre, what happened?"

"Your Majesty, Madam Alice reported to me just now that she found some... some evidence that could prove Edgar's affair with the royal party." Andre replied in a low voice.

"What!" Aiglon fell into the same shock as Andre.

"How could...Edgar?" Then, a disapproving smile appeared on his face, "How can he have such ability?"

Andre was not surprised by Aigron's contemptuous attitude. He immediately presented the letter that Alice had just reported, and then explained his suspicions about Edgar to Aigron.

Aigron read and listened, and finally threw the letter on the desk.

"So, we originally thought that our dear Edgar had changed his mind, but it turned out to be just a disguise for a conspiracy? I can't see it, he turns out to be so capable..."

With every word he spoke, his expression became colder. In the end, his original kind demeanor was quickly replaced by a murderous aura, so much so that Andre beside him couldn't help but flinch.

Until now, Aigron is still not convinced that Edgar is indeed colluding with the royal party to conspire against him, but for a king, even half-belief is enough.

Anger suddenly burned in his heart, but the anger did not burn away his reason. As a result, his brain began to work rapidly and he began to weigh what he should do next.

First of all, no matter what, since the "rebel party" is involved, the matter must be investigated clearly. Regardless of whether Edgar has colluded with the royal party or not, he must be controlled and then slowly investigated.

Secondly, to what extent are the Treville family themselves involved? Did the Marquis of Treville, who he had just entrusted with an important task, have any dealings with the royal party? This must also be clarified.

Finally, and most importantly, he must use the fastest means to control the situation and then block the information, because the more urgent and important the matter, the more important the "control" of information is, because only by monopolizing information, Only then can he control the situation instead of being pushed by it. He can choose how to deal with it and choose what truth to tell the outside world.

For example, the Marquis of Treville, whom he had single-handedly promoted, was preparing to cross the sea to North Africa as his military representative. Can he admit that he was a royalist? Even if the Marquis really was, he would never admit it, as that would be like making himself a big joke.

Of course, he felt that this probability was not high - it was not that he believed in the Marquis's fanatical loyalty, but that he believed in the Marquis's IQ.

The two brothers were hedging their bets. Since the Bourbon family already had the Duke of Treville, how could the younger brother jump over to join in the fun again? This is completely against the interests of the Treville family.

In short, no matter what the truth is, he must let everything be handled as quietly as possible. He couldn't make big news and let the empire embarrass himself.

"Oops..." At this moment, Andre suddenly made a voice.

"What's wrong?"

"Your Majesty, Edgar allowed himself to stay in Agnes's new home, and that manor is really close to the place where Princess Kadiyan is being held..." Andre said no more at this point, but everything was over. In silence.

The atmosphere of conspiracy is getting thicker and thicker, and the suspicion has intensified.

Just because he and Andre thought of one thing, Aigron felt that time was becoming more and more urgent, and he quickly made up his mind.

"Call Agnes over here." Then he ordered softly.

At this time, Agnes was about to finish her day's work and return to her new home, but suddenly received an order from Agron, and she could only return to His Majesty full of doubts.

"Agnes, a regrettable incident just happened..." As soon as he saw her, Agron told her everything, "Your sister just reported to us that Edgar may have been involved in the rebellion. in the conspiracy."

Then, he briefly told Agnes the letter of the report and various doubts about Edgar.

Agnes was naturally shocked and stunned.

With great difficulty, she recovered from the shock. "Where's my sister? I want to see her!"

"I understand how you want to comfort your sister, but Agnes, now you have a better way to help her." Aigron calmly explained his intention to her, "Now Edgar is either in trouble or not." At home, unfortunately, we have already reached the place where the princess is imprisoned; so I hope that you two will go to find him separately, and after you find him, bring him back to Fontainebleau. It is necessary for me to do it. Know exactly what happened-"

Although Aigron's words were still very restrained, the two people present understood that this was his unquestionable order.

Therefore, no matter how worried Agnes was about her sister at the moment, she had to accept this order.

"This damn bastard! He has been hurting my sister from the beginning to the end. I will definitely...I will never be able to spare him!" Then, contrary to her usual humility and meekness, she cursed angrily.

She had long disliked this frivolous and dissolute brother-in-law. When she thought that he was trying to harm her sister at this time, Agnes was so angry that she wanted to teach the ungrateful Edgar a lesson with her own hands.

"Okay, without further ado, take action now, be quick! Don't let them run away, every one of them must stay -" Aiglon waved his hand gently. "Also, remember to block the news! Don't reveal any news to the outside world without my order."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The two men responded in unison, then turned and left.

=========================================

After a fierce and long-lasting passionate kiss, the two people finally parted their lips after the pain of lovesickness was relieved slightly, but the deep love between them did not weaken a bit.

"Edgar, how did you find this place?" Princess Kadiyang asked softly with a tone of surprise and joy.

"It did take me some effort, but I finally found it." Edgar replied with a hint of arrogance, "Diana, it's really good to see that you are okay. I...I am very worried about you."

"Thank you..." The princess was so moved that she burst into tears again, "I thought I had been forgotten and abandoned by everyone, but I didn't expect that you still didn't abandon me after all. In fact, this does nothing to you or your family. Good thing, it’s too dangerous.”

"Yes, it is very dangerous, so I admit that I have hesitated. I don't want to cause trouble to my father." Edgar answered the other party honestly, "But... no matter how my reason tells me to abandon you, , I still can't do it. I was indebted to you for so much care and favor. You gave me everything you could give me, and even gave birth to a son for me. When you were in trouble, I really couldn't Convinced myself to sit back and do nothing, so I came to find you. Thank God I found you after all.”

The princess was even more moved by Edgar's frankness.

She has been in the court for many years, and of course she is used to the treacherous world. She understands even more clearly that daring to take risks after rational weighing is particularly valuable compared to the courage of ignorance and fearlessness.

This incident alone was enough to prove that her "favor" for Edgar for several years was worth it.

"Now I have more reason to laugh at those arrogant ladies. They are looking for fun, but how can they have a lover who is as loyal as me?" The princess laughed at herself, "However, I may not have the chance to do it again. Go and laugh at them, the Duchess of Berry has taken the little prince into exile overseas, and we may never see each other again in this life..."

"There may not be no chance." Edgar quickly comforted the princess, "Since Your Majesty has not made things too difficult for you, it means that you are not a big enemy in his heart, so I think I still have a chance to find someone to persuade Your Majesty. Release you. If...if His Majesty is unwilling to show mercy, then I will find a way to rescue you and escape together!"

Although Edgar spoke impassionedly, both he and the princess knew that "escape" was by no means an option.

After all, both of them were born into noble families. They grew up in fine clothes and lived a wealthy life. How could they have any experience in escaping? How can you bear this hardship? The only feasible way is to find an opportunity to persuade His Majesty to show mercy.

Of course, the princess also hoped that His Majesty would be merciful and let her go free. Even if she went to live in seclusion in her country villa, it would be better than being forced to live under house arrest here, but she also knew that things were not that simple.

"Edgar, I'm very satisfied if you have this intention, but I don't want to see you involve yourself for me... You don't have to rush, anyway, I can live a good life here." You have to go down. If you have the chance to sneak over and see me again, I will be very satisfied.

After I was imprisoned here, what I missed most was you and our son. Now that I have seen you, I am mostly relieved, but our son... I still don’t know the news. How is he now? "

"He is now adopted by my uncle and has been regarded as a distant relative who was fostered with him. Now he has the surname of de Treville." Edgar replied in a low voice, "My father seems to be planning to take care of him after a while. He brought him back to Paris and was trained by him personally..."

The princess had already heard about this from the King of Rome, so she was not too shocked when she heard it again.

On the contrary, she felt some pity for Alice.

"Actually, I think he is very lucky to be able to use your family's surname. As for inheriting the family business, it is a bit out of line... Anyway, this child can get the rest of my property when he grows up, so why bother? How about robbing other people’s things and causing resentment among family members?”

"Well, why don't I think so? But you know my father's temper. He has made up his mind, how can I dare to resist... In the final analysis, I must have disappointed him too much." Edgar smiled bitterly.

Soon he regained his composure, "Okay, it's been so long since we met again, don't talk about these unpleasant things, Diana, I just want to melt with you now..."
