Eagle’s Glory

"Is it just that I'm sorry?"

Teresa raised her head and looked at Agron with tears in her eyes. It was impossible to measure how much resentment and grievance there was in her eyes.

Who can withstand this pitiful appearance without being touched?

Of course Aiglon couldn't help but feel pity.

He also reached out his hands, hugged Teresa, and whispered comfort.

"Teresa, I said, all this is my responsibility, I brought it upon myself... I don't expect you to forgive me for my mistakes, but I have to do this, my pride and my dignity will not allow me to go to Austria The path laid out for me by the court has turned me into their puppet. I am sorry that I used you as a shield and a victim in order to realize my own plans. I owe you a debt of gratitude and made you a laughing stock. This is a stain that I cannot erase. ,Really sorry."

"No, I don't want to hear this! What I want is not sorry, nor is it your cold farewell letter, Your Highness." Teresa interrupted the young man with a tearful voice, "How could you write that letter any more?" No matter how eloquent and elegant the writing is, it is just the most terrible blow to me, like a sharp sword tearing my heart apart! Have you forgotten? I never stopped you from leaving! I didn't even think about it. By preventing you from chasing your own glory and dreams, I am happy to help you...Why did you not want to believe my words until the end, and still abandoned me so cruelly?"

Aigron was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

This is also a question that he has no face to answer.

He actually came here to lurk a long time ago. After Theresa arrived, he did not show up immediately, but only appeared after some observation - he confirmed that although there were people following Theresa to protect her, there were no She came too close, obviously not wanting to disturb Her Royal Highness the princess' interest in sightseeing, so only a mere maid followed her.

Therefore, it seemed that everything was going as planned. After seeing the letter, Teresa guessed that it was written by him, and then she cleverly came to see her in the name of a tour.

How passionate and respectful.

He couldn't help but feel even more ashamed.

He looked behind him and found that the middle-aged maid who had followed Theresa was also glaring at him. Although she did not speak, her eyes clearly showed reproach and anger.

Are you angry that you left without saying goodbye and made His Highness the laughing stock? Or was he angry that his ghost was still there, even though he had already escaped, he came to Theresa again and made her fall into that terrible trap again?

Regardless of the accusation, it seems reasonable.

He lowered his head again, looking at Teresa who was crying on his chest.

No matter what, at least coax her well today, otherwise it would be too much... He secretly thought.

"Teresa, can we talk somewhere quieter?" he asked in a low voice.

Teresa nodded immediately, "Okay, I also have a lot to tell you."

Aigron turned his head and gave Chanel a wink. Chanel understood, then walked to the side of the maid and watched her.

"Are you going to take His Highness away?!" The maid was anxious, and hurriedly asked loudly, "You can't do this...it will hurt her badly!"

"No, don't worry, I won't do that, otherwise I would have done it a long time ago." Aigron shook his head and replied to her, "Now, I just want to ask you to be quiet for a while and give us some time. I will come back naturally." I will send Her Highness Teresa back...I implore you to do me a favor for our safety, thank you."

The maid looked at him and then at Teresa. Although she was anxious, she had no choice but to obey in the end.

After Egron finished speaking, he took Teresa to the depths of the palace.

It was already evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun turned into a golden red, giving the monuments that already had a sense of history an even more illusive and confusing color.

At this time Teresa had recovered her composure from the initial excitement and excitement, she walked beside the young man,

Looking at him from time to time.

"Your Highness, how are you doing recently?" After confirming that there was no one around, she asked in a low voice. "Is everything going well?"

"I'm fine." Aegron nodded calmly.

"It seems to be going well, that's great..." Theresa breathed a sigh of relief, "Where are you now?"

Aegron hesitated, then decided to tell her the truth. "I have now found a hiding place for myself, on a small island in the Mediterranean called Monte Cristo."

If he didn't dare to trust Theresa before, so he could only leave without saying goodbye, then he has no reason to hide it from her now. Theresa has won his trust with her actual performance, and he also wants to use it It's a way to make up for her.

"I see... No wonder there is no news about you anywhere." Teresa suddenly realized, and then nodded, "If you think about it carefully, staying away from the mainland is indeed the best choice. However, the living conditions there must be quite harsh, right? "

"Of course, it's incomparable to Schönbrunn Palace and Albertina Palace." Aigron shrugged, "However, this little pain is nothing to me. If I couldn't bear to live in fine clothes, I would have done it in the first place. I won’t run away.”

Teresa blinked distressedly, then her expression became serious again.

"If there is anything in this world that you can bear, I can bear it," Teresa whispered.

Aigron seemed to hear something overtones.

If I invite her to follow me there now, she will be happy to go, right? Agron thought.

But no, he couldn't do that now.

That would undoubtedly completely anger Archduke Karl and the Austrian court, and allow himself to be noticed by the outside world in advance, causing unpredictable consequences.

"Your father must hate me, right?" he blurted out.

"He is indeed very angry, but he is not angry that you broke away from Austria's control and went to pursue your own career, but he is angry that you deceived. After all, you...you once promised my parents a marriage in person, but ended up running away before the news was announced, leaving us The family is in a very embarrassing situation." Teresa seemed to be stating and complaining, her voice began to tremble again, "During this period, rumors about me have been circulating in the social world from time to time. Every time I hear it, He was so angry and cursed at you..."

Of course Aigron could imagine this result. In fact, Archduke Karl's performance was quite restrained.

How could a father endure the fact that his daughter, whom he valued so much, was abandoned and turned into a laughing stock in society?

"All this is my responsibility..." He sighed, "What did you do with that letter? I waited for a long time, but I didn't hear the news that it was announced. I thought Archduke Karl had other plans, so I just No more going to the newspapers to issue a statement. What’s going on?”

"I burned it." Teresa replied calmly. "Originally, dad really planned to announce it and save the situation a little bit, but I burned it directly... So dad was even more angry, but he had nothing to do, and then he had to Keep cursing at you."

Aiglon was speechless.

Once again he was touched by Teresa's determination and affection.

Even at that moment, she never gave up... How could I deserve this love?

"I can't imagine what will happen to me the next time I meet him." Aigron said with a wry smile.

"He said that he would beat you hard with a riding crop just like he punished deserters, until you bleed all over your body." Teresa answered.

Perhaps because she was afraid that Aigron would be scared, she quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, these are just angry words. I will never let dad do this... If he dares to take the riding crop, I will hug you and watch him." If you can’t stop it, you have to take action!”

"Pfft hahahaha..." Aigron couldn't help laughing, "Okay, then I will rely on you to protect me, Teresa..."

"This is what I should do." Teresa answered matter-of-factly. Then, she felt something again and looked at Agron in surprise. "You... you plan to see my father?"

"Of course it's impossible in a short time, but I think, as long as my career continues, I'll see him—" Aigron replied.

Seeing His Highness's thoughtful expression like this, Teresa was also happy in her heart.

"Your Highness..."

"Well, what's wrong?" Aegron asked.

"It's nothing, I just want to scream like this." Teresa smiled slightly, then grabbed his arm and rested her head on his shoulder, "God knows how much I have endured to wait until this time. Reunion... So, please let me enjoy this moment for a while, okay?"

"Okay, no problem, as long as it takes." Aigron found a relatively low marble railing and sat down, while Teresa naturally leaned next to him.

The two of them didn't speak for a moment, they just leaned together like this, quietly watching the afterglow of the setting sun in the distance.

Time passed by like this, and Teresa's broken heart was slowly repaired in this close tenderness.

Her face became rosy again, and the shadow of happiness emerged again.

"Okay, Your Highness..." she said softly, "I'm not afraid anymore."

"Huh? Why do you say that?" Aigron asked quickly.

"These days, I have been afraid, not that I will be slandered by rumors, nor that I can't bear the pain, but that it is all meaningless, that you will not understand my feelings at all, and will be cruel forever. Farewell to me." Teresa sighed with lingering fear, and then laughed again, "But now I'm not afraid anymore, you didn't abandon me, you are by my side now, I can feel this warmth , so I will no longer be afraid. As long as the sacrifice is valuable, I will not be afraid of sacrifice; as long as I can see light and happiness in the future, I will not be afraid of enduring the pain of now... You know what I mean."

Aegron certainly knew what Teresa was talking about—in fact, she had hinted at it countless times.

She believes that the marriage contract between the two is still valid and must be persisted.

It is of course impossible to say that you are not moved. He had never imagined that this girl who clearly had countless glorious paths to take would choose to take her own path so firmly and persistently. What kind of love is this?

"Teresa, thank you for being so sincere to me regardless of past grudges. I'm really touched..." Aigron sighed softly, "But, I ask you to think about it again."

Teresa's eyes widened instantly, and her eyes instantly became terrified.

Then, she looked at the young man with tears in her eyes, "Aren't you still unwilling to look at my heart now? I've already talked about this, are you still ruthlessly isolating me from your heart? "

"No, that's not what I meant." Aigron shook his head, "I just don't know if I can give you a happy life. I'm thinking of ways to fight against fate. I don't know the result myself, so I don't dare to follow. What do you promise?"

Then, he raised his head again and looked at the sky in the distance arrogantly, "This is Emperor Hadrian's palace. It is very magnificent, right? But it is not important to me. What is important is that although Hadrian The emperor disappeared in the long river of history, but to this day we still remember Emperor Hadrian and his deeds. This is the glory the emperor deserves, and it is also the merit he obtained for himself with his lifelong struggle and efforts.

Of course I dare not compare with him now, but I am determined to fight for myself. Although I was imprisoned for a time, I was lucky enough to have many superior conditions that my peers could not imagine. Therefore, it was impossible for me to endure a life of obscurity. I had to do something!

Teresa, because of me, many people died, and many people will die next. I squandered other people's lives and harvested other people's lives. Maybe it was honor or sin. Maybe the two were indistinguishable. But there will definitely be a winner or lose in this fight. If I win, many people will be ruined; if I lose, I will also swallow the bitter pill myself and will no longer suffer hardships to survive. I would rather finish with a bang! In this case, how can I dare to guarantee anything to you? How can I drag you down? so……"

Teresa kept listening to the young man's voice quietly, and her initial panic slowly disappeared, and finally, a smile reappeared on her face.

Then, she suddenly clenched her fist again and hit the young man's forehead hard.

"Ah..." Aigron was caught off guard and could only interrupt his words, then looked at Teresa in shock.

"Until now, you still don't understand me? Danger... How could I care about this? To me, legends are much more precious than their endings. I once told you that I hate mediocrity, have you forgotten? You These words spoken while standing under the stars are what I have always wanted to hear, and I am willing to keep listening, even if one day I hear them again on the guillotine..."

Then, she hugged the young man again, and said loudly to him, "How could you underestimate my intelligence so much? Of course I know how difficult it will be to follow you. I can see that if we continue On the current road, we are like sitting in a small boat, floating on the rough waves, and will be at the mercy of violent storms and rough seas... But so what!? It's great, I just like this! Because we are together , I will go through those stormy waves with you, and I know that when the storm suddenly passes, the stars in the sky will dance around us and bless us! Otherwise, I will be swallowed up by the whirlpool with you, and sink into the cold ice together. At the bottom of the sea, it’s okay to bear the punishment of fate. At least we have never been mediocre. I will face it all with a smile. I will never be more graceful than my great-aunt, and I will definitely be worthy of your courage..."

As she spoke, she looked up at Aigron, and stars seemed to flash in her eyes.

At this time, after hearing these words, Aigron could no longer control himself.

I was speechless, but it seemed like nothing needed to be said anymore.

The two people started kissing passionately.
