Eagle’s Glory

"Where is Your Highness?"

Teresa asked, looking at Chanel with eager eyes.

Her expression was slightly distorted due to excitement and nervousness, and to Chanel at this moment, it looked even more terrifying.

Oh my gosh!

Chanel was completely confused by this sudden situation. She subconsciously wanted to turn around and run away from this place.

"Stop!" Teresa became even more anxious. She shouted, then stood up from her seat and ran towards Chanel quickly.

Seeing that she couldn't keep up with Chanel's pace, she suddenly became wise and shouted again.

"Do you want to leave without saying goodbye and insult the dignity of Her Majesty the Queen Mother?!"

With this shout, Chanel woke up from a dream, and remembered her mission for this trip, and couldn't help but stop a little. At the moment of hesitation, Theresa had already rushed to the door and grabbed her shoulders.

"Aren't you here to meet Her Majesty the Queen Mother? How could you leave in the middle? This would be fulfilling your mission to Her Majesty..." Teresa smiled.

As she spoke, she forcefully pulled Chanel back into the room, "Please continue your mission."

Chanel did not resist violently, and she was obviously at a loss as to how to treat Her Royal Highness Princess Theresa.

"Your Highness...why are you here?" she asked suspiciously.

Teresa breathed a sigh of relief, glad that she didn't let her luck slip away after all.

"Isn't this all thanks to you and your master? I came to Rome to relax, to avoid the ridicule of the social world, and to visit your highness's grandmother." She replied slightly sarcastically.

After finishing speaking, she turned her head and looked at the Queen Mother Letizia.

The two old men were stunned. They both stared at Teresa in disbelief.

This girl was crying in front of them just now, but unexpectedly, she suddenly took control of the situation, as if she was a different person.

"Sorry, Your Majesty, I just lost my temper... I shouldn't have spoken before you could speak." Teresa bent her knees slightly and apologized to Letizia, but she still held her hand. He took Chanel's arm and said, "Please allow me to introduce to you - this lady's name is Chanel Noel. She is a Frenchman. To be precise, she is the daughter of a former Imperial Army officer, because The family suffered an accident and fled to Bavaria. She was taken in by His Highness Beauharnais, and then came to Vienna as Princess Sophie's dowry... It was she who helped your grandson escape from Austria. She must be a close confidant of His Highness now, so she is very important to him. The Bonaparte family and their loyalty to His Highness are unquestionable and you can trust her every word.”

"Why do you know so well?" It was Chanel's turn to be surprised. "Did the Austrian government tell you the results of the investigation?"

"No, I knew it before you fled." Chanel replied in a low voice, "At that time, I thought His Highness seemed to be quite close to you. He even gave you his own manuscripts to sort out. It really didn't seem like he was very interested in the beauty. The attitude of other people in Quan Palace, so I spent some time quietly finding someone to inquire about you."

She sighed softly, "After inquiring, I chose to keep it a secret, because if a background like yours were known to palace officials, they might be forcibly driven away from His Highness, and His Highness would be so pitiful... If I had known what happened next, maybe it would have been better to report it earlier.”

"Do you really know how to do that? If you do that, His Majesty may hate you." Chanel retorted in a low voice.

"Maybe, maybe not, but since everything has happened, there is no point in saying anything." Teresa smiled slyly and sadly, "At least now, I don't want to make the same mistake again... You will never I can’t imagine what kind of life I have been living during this time!”

"cough……"

A dry cough interrupted the whispers between the two of them. Queen Letizia nodded to Chanel, "Miss Noel, thank you for your help and care of my grandson.

"

Chanel didn't care to talk to Theresa anymore and focused on her mission again.

"I'm just doing my duty, and I don't deserve your praise, Your Majesty." She broke away from Teresa's hand, then walked to the Queen Mother Letizia, and respectfully paid her respects to the Bonaparte family member. The longest one saluted. "It's a great honor to meet you. I wish you good health and a long life!"

"Alas..." Letizia sighed, not getting much joy from her respect, "You have indeed worked hard, so what does my grandson want to tell me through you?"

Chanel glanced at Theresa next to her and said nothing.

"I told Teresa not to avoid it. Now that things have happened, I think she has the right to know what happened... Our family has bullied her badly enough. We can't continue to do evil, right?" Letizia Sighed again, "Aigron pretended to agree to the marriage contract, but in the end it was just a joke, and he ran away, but ruined Teresa's reputation... As an elder, I can't just stand by when encountering this kind of fact, so since Teresa I am willing to stick to the engagement, and I think I should treat her as a member of the family——"

"But before leaving, His Majesty left a letter to apologize to Princess Teresa, and pledged his life and family reputation to guarantee His Highness's purity." Chanel shook her head, "So, I think both sides The engagement has been cancelled, and His Majesty does not dare to expect Your Highness to forgive, but he sincerely hopes that Her Majesty Theresa can forget this nightmare and live a happy life in the future."

"What?" Letizia and Joseph Fish looked at each other in surprise, and then looked at Teresa in shock again.

"The letter? I have already burned it."

Teresa answered calmly, as if she were talking about the most ordinary thing. "Because I burned the letter, my parents didn't release the letter to the public. This is what I did to keep my marriage contract."

Letizia and Chanel were stunned.

Letizia exclaimed again, and then she hurriedly asked, "Why did you do this?"

"Because... I don't want to give everything by myself, and I was sent away with a flimsy page. Is this enough reason?" Teresa raised her head and asked the old man, "Could it be that my sincerity, my heart? My affection, all my plans for the future of myself and Your Highness... and the hopes I have placed so much, are they just things that can be easily crushed with a single page? Could it be that my sincerity to Your Highness is even worth it? No face-to-face farewell? I understand... We haven't dated much, His Highness doesn't want to trust me, but I don't need him to apologize to me, all I want is the future I've dreamed about, His Highness obviously agreed with me !"

Under everyone's gaze, Teresa uttered her inner thoughts sentence by sentence, "Your Majesty, I didn't tell you the truth just now because I was afraid that you would deny me, but every tear I shed with you is It comes from true feelings. I think the reason why His Highness left the letter is because he felt that his future was uncertain, so he didn’t want to involve me. It didn’t mean that he wanted to abandon me——if he really meant that, then I also have the right to hear it in person. Don't you think I'm going to leave me when he says it, instead of writing a few words at random?"

The old man was convinced by Teresa again.

"Indeed, you have the right to a face-to-face answer."

Then, she didn't hesitate any more, and looked at Chanel, "Tell me, where is my grandson? Since he sent you here, he must be in Rome too, and Teresa is also here... It must be It's God's will, so I think we should at least arrange for Teresa to meet with him, and the two of them can clarify the matter, no matter what the outcome is, it's better than no outcome."

Chanel couldn't laugh or cry in her heart.

Although I have heard that the Empress Dowager is simple and pious, it is really a headache to see her saying "God's will" before she really understands what it means.

Although she has no ill feeling toward Princess Teresa, she obviously cannot tell the whereabouts of His Majesty just like this now—even if Princess Teresa is not considered the possibility that Princess Teresa herself is a spy sent by the Austrian royal family, she is definitely not alone When she came to Rome, could the people around her be kept absolutely secret?

"Unfortunately, I can't say it here, Your Majesty." Chanel insisted on his position, "I must absolutely guarantee His Majesty's safety."

"So you are worried that I will endanger the safety of His Highness?" Theresa glared at Chanel angrily.

But Chanel remained unmoved.

Seeing that she was so determined, Teresa wanted to persuade her again, but her inherent dignity did not allow her to beg Chanel, so she could only look at Letizia for help.

This loving old man is her only hope right now... She really can't bear the blow of passing by again.

This lovely and pitiful appearance once again aroused pity in the old man's heart.

It’s time to think of a way to get the best of both worlds.

After thinking for a while, she spoke again.

"As you can see, although I just met Teresa today, Her Royal Highness is very much in my favor. I have already promised her in front of her. I am willing to continue to recognize her as my granddaughter-in-law. I am also very happy that she also agrees. To be able to share some news about Aigron—after all, as my granddaughter-in-law, she has the right to know where her future husband is." The old man looked at Chanel with gentle eyes, "But, Miss Noel, to some extent I can also understand your concerns, so..."

In Teresa's delighted and expectant eyes, Letizia looked at her again, "Teresa, you go back today, leave me your current address and contact information, and I will save all of this." Tell Aigron everything, and I will tell him my decision, and then let him find another chance to meet you, what do you think?"

Theresa's eyes dimmed instantly.

Although she was a little unwilling, she also knew that this was the best treatment she could get so far.

Since Queen Letizia is on her side, she doesn't have to worry so much. She can only accept the current result, and if the trouble continues, the old grandmother will be angered, and there is no hope of turning things around between her and His Highness.

"Then I, I'll go back first... Thank you for taking care of me, Your Majesty." She looked at the old man full of disappointment and hope, "I'm currently living in a hotel on the outskirts of Rome."

She found a pen and paper, and then scribbled down her current address on the paper, "The escorts for me are the servants and subordinates who have followed my father for many years, and they will not do anything against me. Things, but to be on the safe side, I will also pay attention to avoiding them. I just beg you, please let His Highness know my intentions... Also, knowing that I am waiting for him, I will stay in Rome for a long time until he finds Until that day. I leave everything to you!"

"I see, child." Letizia smiled gently, then stroked the girl's cheek with her dry and wrinkled hands, "Please rest assured, leave everything to me."

In this way, Teresa reluctantly said goodbye and left.

Looking at the disappointed back of Her Royal Highness the Princess, Chanel finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In her heart, she also felt a little pity for Theresa's experience, but there were some things that she couldn't help.

"Miss Noel, everything has been done according to your opinion. You can tell what my grandson asked you to tell—but before that, please allow me to finish my breakfast... the series of things this morning , but I'm starving."

"Of course." Chanel replied quickly.

So, Letizia winked at the cardinal, and then took him back to the restaurant.

"You are too kind to Princess Teresa." Cardinal Joseph Fish muttered as soon as he sat down, "Are you really that fond of her?"

"On the one hand, I really like it." Letizia took a small bite of a piece of pastry and then replied. "On the other hand, for my poor grandson, I think she's just right."

"What is suitable?" The cardinal didn't quite understand.

"It's suitable to leave a small life in case he loses." Letizia sighed, "Isn't the father of Her Highness the Princess quite famous? Maybe it can be done."

She was not enthusiastic about the "restoration of the empire" that Aeglon and his followers had in mind.

As Napoleon's mother, she was able to stand closer than anyone else and watch her son go from obscurity to glory and from glory to ruin.

In her opinion, all this is God's will, otherwise how could a family of small landowners who fled Corsica in a hurry suddenly become the royal family of France? How could it suddenly collapse while seemingly powerful and invincible?

Only the power of God can perform such a grand and terrifying drama in the world.

Since it is God's will, why bother to disobey it?

She is now at the end of her life, and her mentality is much more negative than that of Queen Otangs. She is satisfied with only thinking that her children and grandchildren can live through this life safely.

Eugene and her own youngest son, Jerome, married princesses of the old royal family—one from Bavaria and the other from Württemberg—so they were the two who ended up best.

Eugene ran to join his father-in-law, the King of Bavaria, and then lived in Bavaria as a duke; Jerome was also accompanied by a princess, and was not pursued by the victorious countries. He bought a castle in Italy and lived leisurely Wealthy life.

From this point of view, the most reliable backstop for her poor grandson's adventure career is to marry as much as possible with the royal families in Europe. Even if it fails, there may be an acceptable end.

It just so happened that Princess Teresa was so devoted to him, she never left him until today, and even did so many outrageous things... If she really gave up, God knows if there will be another one?

"Little one, cherish your luck..." She sighed again.
