Eagle’s Glory

, the glory of the young eagle

"I understand what you have faced and what you have let go of!"

Edmond Dantès' words came from the heart and were therefore extremely touching. Especially Agnes, who had been extremely depressed recently, almost cried after hearing it.

However, she didn't want to show weakness at this time, so in order to hide her tears, she laughed again, "Mr. Count, I really did not misjudge you. You are really a warm-hearted and good person."

"No, I'm not..." Edmund shook his head, "You are. Not only are you enthusiastic, but you are also selfless. As far as I can see personally, you have never sought any personal gain for yourself and always consider the people around you. ...The reason why I have encountered these troubles is that the world has failed you, and you have never failed anyone! You may not understand how precious this is, but I know, because my hands are already covered with mud today. And blood...I envy you for always having a clear conscience."

"A clear conscience?" Agnes was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, "I can't have a clear conscience. Besides, what's the use of having a clear conscience? The disasters that should happen will still happen one after another. happened, I watched my sister turn against me, and watched my master fall into a pool of blood, but I couldn't do anything... Rather than having a clear conscience, I hope that I can do something meaningful, even if I can do it Not that decent is better than doing nothing at all.”

After finishing speaking, she returned to the topic, "I'm sorry, I'm complaining about something unrelated to you again. In short, I came to visit you today just for this request. Can I confirm that you have agreed to my request? "

"One hundred percent yes." Edmund replied without hesitation.

"Well, I would like to express my sincere thanks to you." Agnes stood up and then solemnly thanked the other party.

Then, she asked, "Then can I write him a letter from you and ask you to send it along with the report to him?"

Although Edmund was a little surprised by this request, he quickly nodded in agreement.

"Of course, you can...just wait a moment."

Then he walked out of the room.

This time he came back quickly. In addition to holding paper, pen and ink, he also held another thing - to be precise, a sharp sword. "I'll give this back to you too."

From the round shape of the hilt and the special blade, Agnes recognized it as her sword at a glance - she had been too mentally stimulated at the scene of the master's attack that day, and after quarreling with her sister , on the verge of collapse, she threw the sword to the ground and ran away.

Presumably, the count got it after cleaning the scene.

"Thank you!" Agnes was surprised and surprised, "You are so thoughtful."

"It's just a little effort." The Earl replied calmly, "I'm sorry, there's only so much I can do."

Just when he was about to return the sword to Miss Agnes, Agnes chuckled and waved her hand, "In that case, how about I give it to you as a gift between friends?"

"Huh? But this is your sword..." Edmund was a little surprised.

"Oh, I'm not a picky person. I have to use some special magic weapon to get my hands on it..." Agnes replied with a smile, "I just ordered this sword, and then asked the craftsmen to make it according to the same model. There are many of them stored at home, ready for replacement at any time.”

Because the sword was mentioned, Agnes suddenly became interested and explained to Edmund eloquently, "After I left school, my sister said how unbecoming it was for a well-born lady to walk around with a sword all day long, and I... I argued that I might encounter challenges at any time, and I always need a weapon to defend myself. After thinking about it for a while, my sister decided to use a compromise method. Well, as you know, that is to hide the sword in a parasol so that it can be carried with you every day. No one would make a fuss... So my father found someone to specially design such a weapon for me. My sister's brain is really much better than mine."

As she spoke, Agnes's voice became lower and lower.

Those times were the happiest and carefree times in her life so far. Everything seemed so beautiful and full of hope - but now, everything has changed beyond recognition.

Can you still go back?

She herself had no confidence.

It was precisely because of her lack of confidence that her interest was suddenly extinguished.

"Anyway, that's what happened."

"That's it." Edmund didn't notice Agnes's subtle psychology at this time, and his attention was on the sword in his hand.

Although this sword is not expensive and does not have a glorious history, it is a gift from Miss Agnes to herself, so the meaning is naturally different.

"Thank you for your generous gift, I will keep it well." He carefully put away the sword.

Then, Agnes picked up a pen and paper and started writing on the table.

Because she had already considered the draft in her mind before coming here, she did not pause at this time and continued writing it in one go.

The content of the letter is quite simple - Agnes lays out the current difficulties she is facing honestly, saying that her family's current troubles have not been resolved yet, and hopes Agron can write another handwritten letter to ask lenders to lend money to her family; And he admitted that he had not fulfilled his promise and caught the teacher with his own hands. Then she asked Aiglon to still be lenient and spare his master's life in this situation.

Because it was a double request, Agnes had no choice but to face the reality. The words she used in the letter were quite humble, almost the same as pleading. Of course, this was also intentional on her part. Agnes Although she has a bold personality, she is also a girl, and she also knows how to arouse the sympathy of others.

After she finished writing, she handed the letter to Edmund. Of course, Edmund didn't dare to open it and read it, so he sealed it honestly.

After doing this, Agnes fulfilled her wish and naturally said goodbye to the earl.

"I'm sorry, Earl, I came here today and caused you too much trouble. Please forgive me for my willfulness. I have taken up too much of your time now. I guess you still have a lot to do, so I'll take my leave now."

"You will always be my honored guest here." Edmund replied quickly.

Then, he sent Agnes to the door and watched her leave.

When he returned to the room just now, the captain was already there.

"What does this little girl want to do?" the captain asked in a low voice.

Edmund half-hidden what Miss Agnes had just done and relayed it to the captain.

"It's really admirable." The captain sighed. "But this kind of person is prone to bad luck."

With such a to-the-point comment, Edmund did not want to agree, "I have already promised her that I will help her plead with His Majesty."

"So is this your purpose? Earl?" The captain suddenly raised his head and stared at Edmund, "You deliberately delayed it before to give her time to duel with the assassin; you took Bion away from me. Ka, also to save her life..."

Although he still didn't know that Bianca was Agnes's master at this time, he obviously noticed something was wrong, and he naturally became suspicious, suspecting that there was some hidden secret.

The captain's gaze was extremely sharp, which made people shudder, but the count had experienced the world for a long time, and of course he would not be intimidated by him.

But Edmund didn't want to explain so much, not only to protect Agnes, but also to protect Alice - otherwise, if he told the truth, Princess Theresa and the captain would know that they were deliberately manipulated by Alice, and this would also influence their perceptions.

"Yes, I did all of this." He replied calmly, "But I can guarantee that I did not commit any betrayal, I just had different ideas."

"However, it seems that you are doing everything to please this lady." The captain responded sarcastically.

"No!" Edmund retorted loudly, "There is only one person I want to please, and there will always be only one person. You have no idea what I have done!"

This sudden anger stunned the captain who didn't know the truth for a moment, but from the count's anger, he also saw that the other party didn't want to explain to him anymore.

After all, the count was theoretically his "boss". Before leaving, Princess Teresa had told her several times to obey the count's orders, and he did not have any authority to question the count.

What's more important is that the earl just kept saying "there is only one", obviously moving out of Aigron, and he has no position to refute.

So in the end, he chose to ignore those suspicious things and acquiesced in the count's judgment.

Anyway, no matter what the count did, at least now, his two tasks have been completed very beautifully, so there is no need to add extra trouble.

"Okay, you can think whatever you want, but we have to write a report together and explain everything that happened before to your two majesties... Please don't misunderstand me. I never like to accuse others behind their backs and say bad things about others. It's just my responsibility." , I must fulfill my responsibilities truthfully, please understand."

"Of course." Edmund thought he had a clear conscience, so he was naturally not afraid to report it as well.

He knows, and the master behind him also knows that everything he does is "loyalty", and he does it really well...even too well.

With a sense of loss, that night, Edmund and the captain wrote a detailed report together.

The report first "reported the good news" to Aiglon, saying that he had captured the assassin Bianca, and then wrote down the entire operation and Bianca's current situation in detail. Then, the count wrote down He also wrote about what Miss Agnes did during and after the operation, including most of today's dialogue.

According to the previous management, the report was put into a special bag, and along with it, Agnes's handwritten letter was secretly stuffed in by the Earl.

"The Romance of Fairy Wood"\u003c/a\u003e

With the report sent out, this matter has come to an end for them.

Next they just need to deal with other things and wait for His Majesty's orders.

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

More than ten days later, the report written by the count and the captain, as well as Agnes's handwritten letter, were sent to Agron's desk.

Aiglon first carefully read the report and understood the entire incident of Bianca falling into the hands of his subordinates.

To be honest, he was quite surprised by this result, because at first he thought that Bianca would be defeated by Agnes and then become a prop for his "mercy"; but he did not expect that the subsequent development would be completely derailed. The powerful Bianca was tricked by the weak Alice, and finally fell into a trap, and ended up being seriously injured and imprisoned.

Of course, it is not surprising that such a result would occur. In the final analysis, he is too far away from Paris, so it is impossible for him to engage in "fine micro-management". He can only delegate power to his capable subordinates who he can trust. , let events develop generally according to your own vision.

Judging from the current situation, Bianca being seriously injured and captured is the best outcome. Alice's performance really surprised him - this deepened his appreciation for Alice.

She did have the potential to do great things, and Agron recognized it.

Of course, admiring Alice will inevitably bring about regret for Agnes. If Agron can understand Agnes's thoughts and pursuits, he can naturally imagine what a blow this is to her.

The most desperate thing was that the one who attacked her was her most beloved sister... Thinking of this, Aigron couldn't help but feel pity.

Like the Count, Agron actually hoped in his heart that Bianca would have a fight with Agnes and then be captured. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Although this might put Agnes' life in danger, this was the end of the story. It was the greatest recognition and respect for Agnes, but reality gave a cruel answer.

Of course he would not feel sympathy for Bianca's fate, but for such a proud Agnes, this experience was indeed enough to make people sympathize.

After sighing with emotion, Agron looked at Agnes's letter.

At this time, can she still hold on? In what words will she confide to me?

With a trace of curiosity and expectation, Aigron opened the letter with his own hands.

The handwriting on the letter was quite sloppy, which showed how messy and depressed the writer was at the time, but Eggron read it effortlessly.

She begged herself.

After all she had been through, and all she had suffered, Agnes begged herself.

She begged herself in humble words, and expressed her willingness to cooperate with her fantasies, just in exchange for hope.

The hope of saving the family business, and the hope of saving the life of the master.

And Aigron knew that these two things seemed to be the disasters he had brought to her in the final analysis.

So she was begging for mercy from herself for the disaster she had caused... The world is so unreasonable.

In addition to begging, Aigron also felt an aura of danger, a danger that the girl was facing too much pressure and was about to suffer a mental breakdown.

Yes, Agnes has reached her psychological bottom line.

You really need to be nicer to her from now on. Aiglon thought.

Let these disturbances end here.

Aigron sighed inwardly, then picked up his pen and wrote a reply.

"I meet all your expectations, and you know I will always be your most loyal friend."
