Eagle’s Glory

Chapter 194 81, Farewell and Entrustment

"Her name is Crystal, she is very cute..."

After hearing this sentence, the unsuspecting Teresa stared blankly at the door as if she had been struck by lightning.

After a moment, she wanted to ask again, but Sophie didn't give her the chance, opened the door and walked out.

When the door was closed, Theresa stared at the door blankly without saying a word.

Although Sophie didn't clearly say what she meant, Teresa, who already knew so many inside stories, could certainly guess what she meant.

There is no room for luck, and all the most terrifying conjectures have been confirmed - His Highness and Sophie's previous affair resulted in the birth of a child named Crystal.

Although she had been mentally prepared, she still felt heartbroken when she actually encountered this problem.

"I don't mind becoming a poet, but I can't find any poetry here." Teresa shook her head.

However, the plan had an accident at the end. At the insistence of his daughter, the captain of the escort was replaced by Captain Foresti.

However, at this point, there is no other way to go. Since she has chosen all this, she must face the most difficult farewell.

"Yes, Your Highness, I will protect her." The captain agreed immediately.

After seeing Teresa's performance, Archduke Karl also understood everything. He put a hand on his forehead and tried to overcome the dizziness in his head.

"Can you tell me where you are going now?" he asked.

"I'm going to a small island called Monte Cristo Island, where His Highness is temporarily hiding." Since it was now, Theresa no longer had to keep it a secret, so she answered her father truthfully.

Before leaving, in order to prevent omissions, she was careful and made a list and checked it carefully.

In addition to these monetary treasures, there are also boxes filled with personal belongings and souvenirs that Teresa was reluctant to part with.

Although he said to his daughter that he would not be responsible for her in the future, Archduke Carl was of course extremely concerned about his daughter's safety on this trip. After all, although it was considered a peaceful year, it was really troublesome for a woman to run around with such a large belongings. Action that is too dangerous.

He muttered a few more curses, but eventually regained his composure.

Then he looked at his daughter sternly.

"Okay, mom, let's go." Teresa smiled sweetly.

"Your Highness...?" Captain Foresty was shocked and moved at the same time. "I...I can't..."

Even though she had been streamlined repeatedly, after everything was prepared, Teresa still had so many items as bargaining chips for her next destiny.

"After she sees that boy, you can stay too." Archduke Karl suddenly said. "This country may not have a future for you now. You may be able to find a way out in another place. This is also a good thing for you."

Henrietta was puzzled by this, and finally couldn't help laughing.

"We had a good conversation, Mom," Teresa replied, "I'm just a little sentimental."

"I also wish God to bless you, my dearest father." Teresa also hugged her father.

"It's common for capable people to serve in other countries, so why not? Kreesewicz also served as a Russian general." Archduke Karl shook his head, "You find a place that can accommodate you, no one What can I blame you for - but I hope you remember that you are an Austrian after all."

Then, she waved her hand and closed the door of the carriage.

Everything was thrown away with this wave of his hand.

"Mom, you must take care of yourself." She said tremblingly, "I am not qualified to beg you to forgive me for my unfilial piety, but I will find a way to make up for it. No matter what I can do, I will definitely make up for it. I and I You promise.”

The captain had tried his best to put in good words in front of the Grand Duke in an attempt to broker the marriage.

In this gloomy morning, Teresa wore a simple gray skirt. After calmly eating breakfast, she came to the study room of the manor to say goodbye to her parents.

Guests come and go, and it never matters who stopped by.

When he said this, his eyes became more and more gloomy.

After a brief and sad farewell, Archduke Karl walked out of the room and went to the open space downstairs.

"Hmph, you said you wanted to run out and build some achievements, but in the end you ended up hiding on the island and lingering?" Archduke Karl asked with a sneer.

Thinking about His Highness's situation at that time, in a lonely and painful period, how could he not be fascinated by such a charming woman?

Will she regret it? Teresa believes she will never regret it.

Moreover, although he is good at swordsmanship, he is just a small person after all, and will not bring any loss to the country's interests - when it comes to "betting on enemies", is there anyone who can bet on enemies more powerfully than himself?

"Don't worry, Dad." Teresa replied, half sad and half stubborn, "No matter what my fate is next, I will never regret it, let alone beg for mercy in order to regain your protection. I am Your daughter, I know how to face my own life, and I also know how to maintain my dignity.”

Everything that has happened, let them be buried in the seal of time.

——

In the next few days, Teresa completed her final preparations in an orderly manner.

He came to several carriages. The people waiting here stood at attention and saluted him, but his footsteps stopped in front of Captain Foresti.

"Can you still swing the sword?" Archduke Karl asked after a moment of silence.

She continued to hug Teresa, and then continued with tears, "I don't care what happens, Teresa... you will always be my daughter... I just hope that everything goes well for you, and it's best to come back and see you as soon as possible." Me. You have been by my side since I was a child. I really don’t know how I can live without you. God...why do you want me to endure such torture?”

She saw a magnificent scene in front of her. The chandeliers shed bright lights in the hall, illuminating the dancing but faceless people. Although they wore various uniforms and palace dresses and spoke elegantly, But none of them made her interested in looking at them for a moment.

In the night, with its bright lights, it still looks so dignified and beautiful, but yet so cold and lonely.

When he thought of this, Archduke Karl couldn't help but feel angry.

But now, he doesn't even feel angry anymore.

She did not tell her father about her specific experience last night. After all, Sophie's words were involved in a scandal - this was a secret that could never be made public to the empire, and it was also a taboo that was difficult for her to talk about.

She actually did such a thing! Teresa gasped.

After this night, she no longer had any nostalgia.

Soon, she will form a convoy with several carriages and embark on a grand journey abroad.

Before boarding the carriage, Teresa looked back at the magnificent palace behind her.

Everything is ready, everything is ready.

What an investment, and what a willful act!

Does she have any interests in mind?

"Cristel... is indeed a nice name." After a moment of silence, Theresa murmured to herself.

"It's still possible, Your Highness." The captain quickly replied with his head held high, "Although I may never be able to return to the level I was at back then, I don't think ordinary people can do anything to me."

"Mom, I'm sorry..." Seeing her mother crying so much, Teresa also shed tears contagiously, "I love you forever!"

Because of this, the captain naturally felt guilty towards the Grand Duke.

You put it lightly, it was my money, it was all my money! The old father cursed again in his heart.

Her mother was also waiting there, looking at her daughter with worry and heartache.

He took a deep breath to let his heartbeat slowly calm down, and then continued, "Okay, we can't do anything to you, we can only let you do whatever you want, but you should also know that everything has its limits. You have exhausted my patience and tormented my heart with holes, so I am not ready to forgive you anymore! Don't expect anything from me anymore. No matter you are good or bad, I am incapable of doing anything. If fate makes you happy, I congratulate you on your luck, but I don’t want to take advantage of it. If fate makes you unlucky and makes you lose everything, then you are the one to blame! situation, then I won’t allow you to cry and confess in front of me that you chose the wrong path, it will only make me look down on you, because I have already advised you!”

With the help of her parents, most of the dowry that Archduke Carl had promised her had been converted into cash and bonds and stored in several boxes. A batch of jewelry given by her mother had also been stored in several boxes. collected in it.

The hall was still full of jewels, and everyone was dancing in it, as if nothing had happened, but Theresa was in no mood to stay and pay attention any longer, and she walked to her mother's side.

In this way, during the interval when no one was paying attention, the mother and daughter left the hall, returned to the square under the guidance of the attendant, and then returned to the square.

"I will remember... Your Highness, no matter what happens, I will never swing my sword against the motherland." The captain replied with emotion.

He had no intention of stopping it. After all, he also knew that the captain was dismissed from the army and was in a bad situation. Finding a place to get another job was a way out. Besides, Teresa had a protector beside her. Also feel more at ease.

Although she had already prepared in her heart, when it came time to say goodbye, everything was still so difficult.

My poems are not composed here, and there is no room for me here. I am glad that I can not be integrated into it, but can write my chapter in another place...

"That's it, that's all, what else can I say?" He sighed again, then walked to his daughter and gently made the sign of the cross on her forehead, chest and sides. “May God bless you—although I don’t think you deserve His blessing.”

"It's a little sentimental on both sides." Teresa lowered her head, "On the one hand, it's because of her past sins, and on the other hand, it's because of her current experiences. I don't know whether I should hate her or pity her. Maybe both. All of them...but no matter what, she is a living person, not a pitiful and mediocre symbol under the throne. "

Her father, on the other hand, frowned, clenched his fists, and waited for his daughter angrily.

"Teresa, you really made me powerless. You threw your father aside and took advantage of our love for you to do whatever you want... You broke our hearts, and we were so hurt by you that we had no choice but to satisfy you. But fortunately, this is the last time -" His tone was trembling due to anger and pain, but he still maintained his dignity and said seriously to his daughter, "Yes, I am sorry for you, I was obsessed and took you to Schonbrunn Palace to see that bastard. I made a big mistake! But no matter what, I was trying to make it up to you, right? situation, but you yourself have willfully refused all help, well... I can’t control you, so let’s do whatever you want next!”

"How is my daughter?" She looked at Teresa with concern, "It doesn't look like you were having a pleasant conversation?"

If it were you, you would definitely not regret it. How can a proud person regret his decisions and choices? I would rather face the judgment of fate with a smile.

Seeing the mother and daughter hugging each other and crying, Archduke Karl's heart softened. He could only sigh and silently looked at the carriages outside the window.

The mother and daughter just hugged each other and cried. Tears met on their faces and eventually fell to the floor, leaving traces as witnesses of family love.

"Don't leave, okay? It's too late to stop now! Your mind is always so smart, why are you so stupid about this matter? Why don't you weigh it carefully..."

"Well, let's go." Henrietta nodded, "I don't want to stay any longer."

God, who am I to laugh at Sophie's willfulness? I am also willful...even what she did was even worse, because Sophie hurt those people she already hated, while she was hurting her own parents.

"Even she is going crazy, what have you done! How did that bastard boy charm you so much? Did he secretly learn some evil magic from the alchemist? Don't let me meet him again, or else I'm afraid I really can't control my hand and I have to pull out my sword and kill him!"

Then, she let out a long sigh, then stood up and walked out of the room.

"Sentimental? Sentimental for what?" Henrietta was a little confused.

Finally, it was time to leave.

"Okay, help me protect Teresa, and don't allow any mistakes." Archduke Karl said coldly, "Although you are no longer a soldier, I hope you can promise me in the name of a soldier."

Of course she was very jealous, but she also admired the other person's courage and personal charm.

Archduke Karl didn't know what his daughter was planning specifically, but it was obvious that she wanted to recruit his former teacher for the boy.

In the courts of various European countries, it was common for noble ladies to have affairs with others, and it was not surprising to others. However, it was quite rare for the love to be so intense that they actually gave birth to their lover's children.

Perhaps because of this anger, his gaze became more severe, and Captain Foresti, who bore the brunt of it, became even more embarrassed.

Yes, everything here was so mediocre that it couldn't even make her feel the slightest attachment to it.

After crying for a while, Teresa raised her head from her mother's arms with difficulty.

"You can make up for me the most by living your life well." Henrietta replied, "Remember, no matter what happens, you can come to your mother for help. Don't bear it silently alone."

Therefore, she did not ask for anything in return, she accompanied His Highness tenderly, and then she had a violent relationship with her beloved young man, and finally ended up like this.

Just now she said hello to Sophie, but she received a cold reception and was ridiculed by Sophie. Now she was still angry, so naturally she wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Teresa hesitated, but nodded slightly.

——After all, as a princess, even if she chooses self-exile, everything she possesses is still beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"After you met Sophie, did she say that?" he asked finally.

"That's enough, do you still want to quarrel at this time...?!" Henrietta loudly interrupted the conversation between father and daughter, "Don't you think I'm sad enough and you have to step on me a few more times to make you happy? ? Why are you so angry now? Do you really want to be a stranger and let me lose my daughter forever? "

"Of course His Highness wants to achieve great achievements, but you have to spend some time to accumulate strength, right?" Teresa asked, "And I will also add my own help to Your Highness's career. Don't worry, we will find a way to achieve it." A great cause."

Therefore, in order to ensure safety, he carefully selected a group of escorts for her, all of whom were close confidants who had been with him for many years - and the families of these people were all in Austria, so he was not afraid of any temporary problems with them.

"Dad, mom..." Theresa hesitated for a moment, then spoke in a low voice.

Although fate seemed to finally allow his intentions to come true, this was definitely not the way they had imagined before, let alone the way they wanted to see it.

Absolutely not. At that time, His Highness had almost nothing, held the title of Duke of Lechstadt, had no status in the court, and could not bring her any benefits at all.

I'm such a badass. She said to herself in her mind.

"Stop crying, Henrietta." Archduke Carl, who had been silent, spoke up and stopped his wife with cold words. "Don't lose your mind in front of your daughter. It will make her look down on you in vain."

"Teresa, are you going to be a poet too?"

"I'm leaving. Please take care of yourself in the future. I will definitely come back as soon as possible."
