Eagle’s Glory

"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..."

Of course Edgar knew that since he had met the princess and confirmed that she was indeed safe and sound, the "first phase goal" had actually been completed. He should not continue to stay in this dangerous place for a long time, but should take advantage of the fact that it was still safe. , run back quickly, and we will make a long-term plan later - anyway, there is still plenty of time now, so there is no need to rush.

The longer we delay here, the more dangerous it will become.

However, even though he knew this, when he hugged his old lover tightly, Edgar still couldn't help but fall into confusion and infatuation.

He has never been a resolute person, and now he is even more reluctant to leave the princess behind immediately after meeting again after a long separation. He wants to "relive old dreams" and experience the sweetness when the two of them were together.

Just stay a little longer, even ten minutes...

he thought.

"Edgar, you'd better leave quickly. Although I'm not under strict supervision here, it would be terrible if someone discovers something unusual. Well..." The princess originally wanted to persuade him to leave quickly, but she was suddenly interrupted by Edgar. Kissed.

She couldn't see her lover for many days, so why didn't she miss him? Moreover, she was extremely moved when she saw her lover trying to rescue her regardless of danger. Subconsciously, she also hoped to repay this affection with herself.

Well, anyway, it should be fine if you wait a little longer...

As a result, her rational defense line was easily broken through. She closed her eyes and allowed her old lover to take off her simple skirt. The two people really melted together...

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

The time they went to Wushan together didn't last long, but the two of them were extremely comfortable and had a good time to vent their pain of missing each other after not seeing each other for many days.

But no matter how reluctant they were to leave, they all knew that it was time to say goodbye.

So, Edgar tidied himself up a little, then put on his clothes again, and then hugged the princess tightly.

"Diana, wait for me."

"Well, I will always wait for you." The princess nodded heavily, and then smiled bitterly, "I really hope I can have the opportunity to repay you.

Now I only regret that the things I gave you were too little..."

"No, it's enough, so it's my turn to give it next." Edgar waved his hand, then opened the door and walked out quietly.

Just like when he came, the corridor was empty and there was no oil lamp for lighting, only dim starlight as a guide. However, he was very satisfied with this, so he quietly reached the stairs and walked out gently.

Next, as long as he walks out of the house and climbs over the fence, he can set foot on the road back to Agnes Manor. Although it is already dark, he has remembered the way he came, and he will not get lost - he I think so.

But just as he walked out of the house, the light of a torch suddenly appeared in the originally dark exterior.

When the firelight pierced his eyes, Edgar immediately screamed something bad. He was filled with panic and hurriedly stepped back, planning to go back and use the house to hide himself.

But it was already too late, because under the firelight, his figure had nowhere to escape.

"Stop!" A loud roar came from the opposite side, making Edgar's scalp numb.

This roar made the last trace of luck disappear in his heart at this moment, because he could hear whose voice it was.

Before he could take action, several people rushed over quickly.

At this time, Andre Davout's face also appeared in front of Edgar with the help of firelight.

At this time, Andre changed from his usual gentleness and looked at Edgar with an extremely serious face, his eyes full of vigilance.

When he saw that Edgar had indeed appeared in the prison where the princess was being held, he who had originally been "half-convinced" about Edgar's suspicion of having an affair with the royal party, now almost believed it, and since he was facing " Enemy", then of course he will not be partial to old feelings.

"Monsieur Edgar de Treville, you are under arrest," he said coldly.

Edgar's face turned pale, and he wanted to turn around and run away, but in the end his reason made him give up this stupid idea - he couldn't run away now, and it would only make himself more embarrassed.

From the beginning, he had been prepared to be caught, so he was not overly panicked now - he was just wondering why it was His Majesty's guard captain who came to catch him - how could he have time to take care of it? Own.

But at this time, although he was nervous, he was not overly panicked. After all, in reality, he just came here to "privately meet an old lover." To the French, this was not a big crime. Even if His Majesty blamed him, he All he needs to do is apologize sincerely, and I'm sure His Majesty won't mind - even if the princess's status is a bit special, he can still find a way to defend himself.

So, he just sighed and regretted why he didn't leave earlier. "Oh, I was really stupid..."

"Yes, you did a huge stupid thing -" Andre stared at Edgar and waved his hand gently, and the guards around him also swarmed up and lifted Edgar up. "You have obviously received great favor from His Majesty, and your family has a bright future. Why do you want to collude with the rebel party? How ungrateful this is!"

"Rebel?" Hearing Andre's angry question, Edgar was completely stunned. He asked Andre, "What rebel? I don't know anyone who rebels."

"Do you still want to quibble at this time? Okay, you can continue to quibble, but I believe you will tell the truth sooner or later." Andre smiled coldly.

"No...I...I just came to see her!" Edgar continued to defend himself.

Although he doesn't care about politics, he has some common sense. Of course he understands the difference between "romantic affair" and "political case". Everyone can laugh at the former, but he is not the only one who wants the latter. It’s a problem of suffering, and it might even involve the family members.

That's why he became really panicked at this time, struggling desperately to explain to Andre. But how could Andre be willing to listen at this moment?

At this time, the princess who was upstairs also heard the noise. She looked out the window in a daze, and happened to see Edgar being surrounded and arrested.

Suddenly she was so anxious that she opened the window and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Adults, please, let him go! He didn't do anything!"

Compared with the princess's brilliance in the palace back then, how desolate is her begging for mercy now?

However, no one sympathized with this sad and frightened lady.

Andre raised his head and looked at the princess by the window.

"Madam, please come down and come with me. You are a distinguished lady, so I don't want to be violent, but if you refuse to cooperate, then I will have to do something I don't want to do."

Faced with the other party's undisguised threat, the princess had no room to refuse. Moreover, she was afraid that Edgar would suffer, and she would rather face everything next with her lover.

"Edgar... Edgar..." She cried sadly as she put on her clothes again, then walked downstairs obediently and stood side by side with Edgar.

After intercepting and arresting both men, Andre finally felt relieved - no matter what the truth was, at least His Majesty's interests were not damaged and the conspiracy was stopped in time.

At this time, there was a rush of horse hooves nearby.

Then, several knights jumped out from the darkness and stopped at the door of the house.

Next, Agnes appeared in front of everyone - obviously, she went home to find Edgar but missed it, and then ran all the way here under the guidance of the guards.

As soon as she saw Edgar, the anger in Agnes's eyes was ignited. She walked forward quickly, and then looked at the old lovers who looked hasty and desperate.

Edgar was certainly very frightened when he saw Agnes looking so angry, but at this moment, the fear of the sudden "suspect of rebelling" forced him to temporarily put aside his fear and plead with Agnes.

"Agnes... you came... at the right time. I did something stupid and came here to have a private meeting with the princess, but they actually said that I was having an affair with the royal party. This is simply crazy! Please help me explain!"

Of course he knew that Agnes hated him now, but he felt that since Agnes's sister was his wife, he would naturally not want to have a "rebel" hat suddenly added to his head, so he thought Let Agnes help dissuade Andre and others - given Agnes's position beside His Majesty, I believe that as long as she says a word, things will be much easier to handle.

However, he did not expect that in the face of his request for help, Agnes not only did not waver in the slightest, but became even more angry. She took the riding whip from the guard next to her, and then whipped it down hard.

"Ah!" Edgar couldn't help but scream after receiving such a heavy blow to his chest.

His father had threatened him with a riding crop so many times but never succeeded, but he finally tasted the whipping - it was a cruel joke of fate.

The severe pain that he had never experienced since he was a child made Edgar squat on the ground and gasped for air. He was speechless for a while.

However, seeing his painful look, Agnes showed no mercy. She picked up the riding crop and continued to swing it.

"It's all your fault! It's all your fault! You bastard!"

It’s no wonder that Agnes is so angry. After all, she knows very well how much her sister has paid to marry him and how much hope she has placed on her. However, in the end, he is still frivolous and frivolous, and has not shouldered any responsibilities as a husband. My sister suffered a lot. But now, my sister has finally achieved her current status by relying on her own talents, but he has used his suspicion of having an affair with the party to plunge her into a whirlpool of right and wrong. How can she not go crazy with anger?

So, under her heavy beatings, Edgar rolled to the ground screaming in a few blows. The princess felt extremely distressed and stood in front of Agnes crying, trying to stop her from continuing to beat her. .

It was of course impossible for the princess to stop Agnes with her skills, but Andre was afraid of something happening after all, so he stopped Agnes himself.

"Miss Agnes, the mission we received is to take them back to Fontainebleau. Don't waste time here."

Under his persuasion, Agnes finally stopped her hand bitterly and threw the riding crop aside.

"Hmph! I...I was so angry with him!"

"I understand how you feel..." Andre sighed, "But everything that happened has happened after all. Being angry will not help. We can only think of ways to remedy it."

Agnes knew in her heart that the other party was right, but how to remedy it? But she couldn't understand.

For her, as long as nothing happens to her sister, she doesn't bother to care about anything else, so no matter what, she wants to dissuade His Majesty from involving her sister.

This shouldn't be difficult. After all, my sister has the merit of "reporting". If my sister hadn't reported it in time, I'm afraid the situation would have only gotten worse. So, taking this into consideration, my sister can at least make amends and be forgiven by His Majesty, right?

Wait, in time...? Why is it so timely? Agnes suddenly fell into doubt.

My sister bought herself a house, she brought her husband to her home, and she reported her husband. Everything seemed so natural, but it seemed completely unnatural.

Agnes is not a particularly smart person, but she has been with her sister for so many years and has a deep relationship, so she naturally understands her sister better than others. Because of her understanding, some things that she would never have thought of gradually aroused her doubts.

This is so strange, almost eerie. My sister is definitely different these days!

However, at this moment, she had no time to think too much. After all, the situation was urgent and there were so many people watching her.

"Okay, let's go back and don't keep His Majesty waiting."

Andre nodded, then waved his hand and asked his men to escort the lovers into a carriage, and then headed towards the palace together.

In the carriage, Edgar was still moaning softly because of the whipping just now, while Princess Kadiyan hugged his arm tightly and kept crying next to her.

"I'm sorry, Edgar...I'm sorry..." she kept apologizing in a low voice.

However, Edgar didn't say anything more. He just smiled silently and kept touching the princess's face.

After the turmoil just now, he had already realized that he seemed to have fallen into a well-woven trap, and was inexplicably labeled as "liaison with the royal party".

Although he didn't know who pressed the hat on him, he certainly knew its power, so he had to try his best to avoid it.

In this way, the group of people quietly returned to the palace under the cover of night.

Andre took the two people to meet with him, while Agnes walked silently towards her sister's residence.

What's going on, sister? She wanted a reasonable explanation.
