Eagle’s Glory

12. Training and Gifts

Princess Sophie watched the Prime Minister disappear at the other end of the corridor with sharp eyes, and then she walked back into the room again. Of course, it was impossible for Egron to know about the quarrel between Sophie and Metternich just now, but from her performance just now, he had already guessed something.

"Your Highness, did you quarrel with him just now?" he asked.

"It's not a quarrel, it's just a discussion with him about what to do while you're recuperating." Princess Sophie replied easily, and then sat back on the bed.

"Actually...it doesn't have to be like this. He also has his standpoint, and his attitude towards me is not particularly bad." Aigron smiled wryly, "He is a politician, and he has neither love nor hatred for people."

"What I'm not satisfied with is not his character, but his attitude, and his habit of ignoring us at that time!" Princess Sophie narrowed her eyes slightly, looking quite dissatisfied, "Your Majesty the Emperor It's just that I trust him too much, so I'm used to his attitude... No matter how domineering he is in front of others, he is always a subordinate, how dare he treat us with this attitude?"

When she said this, she couldn't help being a bit mean in her tone, "Hmph, my surname used to be Wittelsbach, and now I'm named Habsburg, both of which are a hundred times more prominent than his shabby surname, Who knew what kind of people the Metternich family was a few decades ago? Now they dare to be arrogant in front of us... I have given him a lot of face by not scolding him in front of other people."

"But Bonaparte and de Beauharnay weren't such prominent names a few decades ago..." Eggron whispered.

"I can't see that you are really a kid who likes to talk back." Princess Sophie twisted his face gently, and then said, "Of course you are different-don't ask what is different, I said no Same is different."

"Well, then it's different." Aigron could only smile resentfully.

He could feel that after this accident, the already harmonious relationship between him and Princess Sophie became closer.

Although it is impossible to expect her to help him escape, at least he has an extra protector in the palace, and he is one of the most important members of the palace, which means that he can live a lot more comfortably here.

And being with her is a very pleasant experience in itself.

Therefore, there is only one thing that needs to be resolved now - how to keep Chanel by his side without a trace?

"There is one more thing I want to thank you for." With this purpose, he said cautiously, "Your maid took good care of me last night and made me feel very comfortable."

"Really?" Princess Sophie looked back at Chanel, then nodded, "Very well done, Chanel."

Chanel just bowed and saluted.

"In this case, let her stay and take care of you during this time. You are surrounded by a group of unappetizing old guys, so how can you recover quickly?" Princess Sophie suggested casually, "Besides, with her by your side, it will be much more convenient for you to convey something to me..."

"Huh?" Eggron was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the request he wanted to make had been fulfilled before he actually made it.

For a moment, his heart was filled with joy and emotion, "Thank you for thinking of me so much..."

"So you have to listen to me." Sophie replied with a smile, "I only hope that what I have done can convince you that not everyone here is against you..."

Then, after the two chatted for a while, they finally left reluctantly, and just as Aigron hoped, the maid Chanel stayed.

"Your Highness, that's great..." After the door was closed again, Chanel let out a long sigh of relief.

"It's too early to be happy now." Aigron returned to his usual calm.

He tried to move his legs and move his body.

Then, he struggled to sit up, the pain in his body made him moan softly, but he sat up smoothly.

"Your Highness!" Chanel was shocked and rushed to his side.

"It's okay." Aigron raised his finger to stop him, "I seem to be recovering faster than I thought."

"Are you really okay?" Chanel was still a little worried, and kept looking at him, "Why don't you continue to lie down and rest..."

Aggron glanced at her, and she stopped talking.

"I appreciate you worrying about my body, Chanel." After a moment of silence, he said, "But since you think you need to be loyal to me, then you should understand that I am the one who gave the order, And you're just in charge of carrying it out... So, if I didn't ask for your opinion, then you should stop questioning it and just do what I say, understand?"

"Your Highness..." Chanel's expression was full of grievances, "I'm just... just worried about you..."

"I know, but so what? I just need you to act according to my will." Aegron replied coldly, "Unfortunately, I can't give you too much tolerance under the current environment, you regret it now , As if nothing happened between us and it’s still too late, I won’t blame you.”

Even if he couldn't see his own face, he knew that his expression was awkward, and he knew that he was very unreasonable, and even a little ignorant.

But he was convinced that, in his situation, he needed to.

The maid Chanel's will to revenge is very obvious and firm, but she obviously has not received any training, nor does she look like an experienced military strategist, she just has loyalty and passion for revenge. Such a person is actually quite dangerous, because if he is a little careless, other people in the court will see that something is wrong.

But it doesn't matter, she needs to be trained from time to time (or poured cold water on her like now), and she will eventually be able to let her abandon the jerky excitement and learn how to obey in silence.

Since hatred can make people learn to be angry, of course it can also make people learn to endure.

Under his gaze, Chanel was stunned for a moment, and finally lowered her head heavily.

"I understand, Your Highness. I will do as you ask, so please don't drive me away..."

sorry. Aegron whispered in his heart.

Does it make sense to make people pay that price? He didn't know, but since she chose this path herself, she had no choice but to keep going.

He withdrew his thoughts, then moved his neck and hands, then moved his legs slightly, got out of bed and stood up.

As soon as he stood on the floor, he felt a little dizzy, and his legs were trembling and a little uncontrollable, but he still forcibly controlled his body, and finally stood still.

Chanel's eyes were still full of worry and anxiety, but she still didn't speak in the end, it seemed that she had listened to his words.

Aigron continued to move his body, but found that he was still unable to walk steadily.

That's right, it's much better than expected. I can get out of bed so soon, so I should be able to return to normal body functions soon. But there's no need to push yourself any further.

"Come and help me now," Eggron said.

Chanel, who finally got the order, finally breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the boy's side, hugged his body, and helped him stabilize.

After she steadied himself, Aigron took steps, and with her support, he walked step by step to his usual desk.

Then, he opened the second drawer.

"Chanel?"

"Do you have any orders, Your Highness?" Chanel asked.

Aigron didn't answer immediately, but took out something from his drawer, and handed it to the other party.

In an instant, there was a burst of jewels, which made the room that was already very bright suddenly brighter.

"Ah!" The maid exclaimed.

She clearly discovered that Aigron was holding a pocket watch. This pocket watch was very luxuriously decorated. The case was enamel inlaid with gold, and a letter "N" was made out of small diamonds.

The teenager opened the case. Since it had not been used for many years, the scale of the pocket watch had already stopped, and the inner wall was decorated with the emblem of bees.

Looking at this pocket watch, Chanel lost her eyes all of a sudden - after all, how many girls can resist the charm of jewelry.

"It's so beautiful..." She couldn't help sighing.

"Of course it's beautiful. This is a custom-made royal item of the imperial family. It was a gift from my father when I was a child." Aigron replied in a low voice, "The bee is the emblem of the Bonaparte family."

"That's right..." Chanel blinked, staring intently at this historic gift.

"gave it to you."

"Hmm... um... huh?!" The sudden sentence made Chanel feel like she was hallucinating.

"Give it to you." The boy repeated.

"You gave it to me? Why...?" Chanel opened her eyes wide, "I... I don't deserve this gift, I'm just a mere maid..."

"It doesn't matter, I'll give it to you," insisted Eggron, "I don't need it anyway. Since coming here, I have been banned from using anything that can be associated with the name Napoleon, even handkerchiefs from N It was replaced by F... I managed to hide it, but if I keep it in my hand, it’s just hidden in it as it is now, so it’s better to give it to you, so I can make the most of it.”

[Historical facts are true, but the pocket watch is fictional]

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty..." Chanel felt pity and was moved, "You...you are so kind to me...I don't deserve you..."

"Did you forget what I said again?" Aigron looked at Chanel.

Only then did Chanel realize that she had violated the rule that she was not allowed to question the order.

"Yes... yes..." She hastily took the precious pocket watch from Aigron with excitement, her hands trembling when she took it.

Then, she solemnly collected it in her own, with a solemn expression, and then she looked at the boy again, seemingly full of enthusiasm.

Aigron looked at the maid's reaction and was quite satisfied.

The two have just met. Although the other party relies heavily on their own trust, if blindly suppressing it will only be counterproductive, and they should be rewarded appropriately.

Gold, silver and jewelry mean nothing to him at all, and he doesn't care a bit.

In addition, this gift can also be used as a token. When he needs to let her contact people outside the palace in the future, as long as others see this thing, they will believe that Chanel is someone close to him.

"Chanel, I will remember what I promised you." He repeated his promise again to let the other party feel his sincerity.

"I will repay you with everything I have..." Chanel bowed.

"Help me to the window." Aigron changed the subject.

"Yes." Chanel immediately followed suit and walked to the window with him.

"Is this palace beautiful?" Aigron asked suddenly.

"Very beautiful, Your Highness." Chanel replied.

"It's very beautiful, but... I don't love it." Aigron looked at the triumphal arch high above, "It doesn't belong to me, and I like things that only belong to me."

Chanel closed her eyes slightly.
