Eagle’s Glory
Sixty-two, sacrifice
"No matter who it is, as long as it disrespects us and harms my happiness, I will never forgive him."
Seeing her daughter's high-spirited words, Henrietta finally felt relieved.
"Well said, Teresa, you have to have this momentum. You need to be polite, but there is no need to kowtow to others and please others. You have sacrificed enough for Franz, and you will never do it again. You have to throw away whatever dignity you have left..."
As she spoke, she stroked her daughter's hair lovingly.
"Oh, I really hope that one day all this will calm down. It's really annoying us recently... Oh, it would be great if he didn't have so many unnecessary ambitions! We never expected him to become an emperor."
Teresa was also touched and she lowered her head and was speechless. Mother and son enjoyed the peace in silence.
After a moment, Henrietta changed the subject again, "By the way, I have heard some rumors about Her Highness Sophie recently."
"Um?"
The speaker was unintentional, but Teresa's face suddenly turned pale. "What...what rumors."
"Legend has it that she got sick not because of pneumonia as the court said, but because he helped Franz escape and was angered by His Majesty, so she was temporarily detained." Henrietta lowered her voice, "This is just a rumor, you Just listen to it as news, don't take it seriously. But I think there is some basis for this... After all, I heard that the two of them are very good friends..."
Teresa could only force a smile out of embarrassment. "Maybe it is."
During this period of time, although the palace has been trying to block news about Sophie, as a prince and concubine, she will definitely attract rumors if she does not appear in public for a long time.
From her mother's reaction, Teresa immediately guessed that her father did not tell her mother about it.
This was just right, saving her money.
"That Highness is responsible for the continuation of our country. I hope she is okay." This was all she could say.
"Who says otherwise!" Henrietta smiled bitterly, "His Royal Highness has been ill for so long. In the recent period, although no one in the social circle has openly talked about it, many people are worried about the continuation of the empire. If...if she doesn't make it through, maybe we have to find another princess from abroad, and God knows how much trouble it will take."
There's nothing to worry about... She's working hard for it now. Teresa answered mentally.
Just when she was upset, her mother's voice continued to ring in her ears.
"It is precisely because of these speculations that the palace has been reassuring people recently, saying that Her Highness is now fine and just needs to rest for a while. She will reappear in front of the public after a while..."
That's right. Counting the time, she will really be able to see people again soon.
And the crystallization of that bad relationship will be hidden in the dark.
Teresa's breathing became heavier unconsciously.
She felt angry, envious, and a little unconvinced.
Why...why do you do this? ! What did your willful sacrifice make of what I did?
She clenched her fists unconsciously,
She wanted to hit the table hard, but the last remaining reason stopped her.
"Teresa? What's wrong with you? Why do you look so ugly?" Henrietta saw something was wrong with her daughter and quickly stopped talking.
"It's nothing, Mom." Teresa finally came to her senses and shook her head gently. "I'm just a little lucky. It's great that she's okay."
Before her mother could ask again, she suddenly asked again, "Mom, can you do me one more favor?"
"Look what you said! Just mention it." Henrietta replied with a smile.
"If...if Your Highness Sophie appears in front of others again after recovering, can you help me arrange an audience?" Theresa asked.
"Huh? That's fine, but why?" Henrietta blinked in confusion. "I remember that you usually don't have much friendship with her."
"I have to face what I have to face." Teresa replied quietly.
Then, she smiled, "I mean, before leaving, I have to thank her for everything she has done for His Highness."
"I don't understand what you are thinking..." Henrietta sighed, "But since this is your wish, then I will try it. I think with my status, the palace should not refuse it."
========================================
After bidding farewell to the King of the Netherlands, Aigron returned to his room angrily.
When he was carrying out his plan with great enthusiasm, his uncle's affairs suddenly intervened, which really disappointed him.
And this fact was like a basin of cold water, making Aigron, who was originally a little elated, face reality again.
Yes, although I now dominate a small island and have initially established my own internal power structure, in the final analysis I am just the leader of a few hundred people. Not to mention that I cannot influence external forces. Even a useless person within the family. Uncle Wang doesn't have to obey his orders.
You still have a long way to go before you achieve your goals.
Although he very much hopes to severely punish this uncle to set an example, he also knows rationally that now he has no room for extraneous matters, and he also needs the two Louis brothers to continue to serve, so he cannot make big mistakes out of anger.
Now this treatment is the best solution he can do.
But this definitely does not mean that he will forget this offense. He has written this account in his heart and will settle it carefully if he has the opportunity in the future.
When he thought of this, his anger calmed down again.
"Your Majesty..." At this time, a timid greeting came from beside him. "Are you okay..."
Aigron turned around and found Chanel looking at him worriedly.
"It's okay, it's just a little unpleasant." Aigron shrugged.
"Is His Royal Highness unwilling to pledge allegiance and sponsorship?" Chanel probably guessed something.
Aiglon didn't answer.
"How could this be possible!" Chanel shouted, "How could he betray his obligations?!"
Shanel's expression was full of anger and pain.
Although she knew about the grudges between the King of the Netherlands and the late emperor, she still couldn't imagine that Louis, as the emperor's brother and uncle, would actually abandon the interests of the family and refuse to help his nephew's career.
This is a huge blow to a die-hard follower like her.
"This is simply unforgivable!" she said through gritted teeth.
Seeing Chanel's shocked look, Aigron confirmed his judgment again.
If everyone knew what Louis had done now, it would definitely have a huge mental impact on these followers.
Fortunately, Chanel's loyalty is unquestionable. Even if there is such a mental shock, she will not shake her belief. As for others, it is hard to say.
"Some people are not destined to do big things. They will only chatter about the bad things they have encountered all their lives, but they dare not change anything and have no ability." Aigron said mercilessly, "That's fine, I don't have to There is no place left for him anymore, the empire does not need those who are not loyal to the emperor, even if he is a close relative!"
Then, he looked at Chanel again, and then softened his tone, "Chanel, I have known for a long time that I can't do anything relying on my relatives and elders. I can only promote my cronies and talented people. Only then can I achieve something. As long as you are by my side and follow me unswervingly, then why should I care about my uncles and uncles? They can just run away of their own volition. The times have already abandoned them."
"I will always follow you." Chanel lowered his head deeply moved.
Then, she cheered up again, then took some clothes from the side and handed them to the young man.
"Your Majesty, would you like to try it?"
"What is this?" Aigron asked with some confusion.
Before he could answer, he had already seen it.
This is a military uniform, mainly black, with golden tassel epaulettes and a red ribbon.
The fabric is good, but the signs of rush production are clearly visible.
On top of the military uniform, there is also a bicorne hat with an eagle emblem.
"You did it?" He probably understood.
"Yes... Your Majesty." Chanel's face turned slightly red and she nodded slightly, "I heard you said before that you want to adopt a uniform uniform, and you like black clothes, so I tried to use the clothes on the island. , I made a set imitating those gentlemen’s military uniforms, you...can you try it?"
"Of course, thank you, Chanel!" The anger in Aigron's heart was swept away at this moment, and he couldn't help laughing, "You really took the trouble."
"You don't have to thank me. It's my duty to serve you." Chanel also breathed a sigh of relief.
Then she whispered, "Let me put it on for you."
Then, she unbuttoned the young man's coat and trousers, and then carefully put on the military uniform she had made.
Although the tailoring is average, the dress fits perfectly.
But this is not surprising. After all, after spending so much time together, Chanel naturally understands the figure of his master.
Soon, Aigron put on this military uniform and Napoleon's iconic bicorne hat on his head.
Then, Chanel raised her head and looked at the young man blankly.
In her sight, his fair face looked even more beautiful against the backdrop of the black military uniform and hat, with a bit more solemnity and evil aura unique to soldiers, and his golden hair seemed to shine under the sunlight outside the window. Sparkling.
"How's it going, Chanel?" Aigron asked.
Although he didn't look in the mirror, he could guess from Chanel's admiring gaze that he must look very good.
"It's so beautiful, Your Majesty!" Chanel blurted out, "You are the incarnation of Apollo!"
"It's not so outrageous!" Aigron said with a smile.
Although he is humble on the surface, he is still quite happy on the inside.
In the imperial era, gorgeous military uniforms have always been the favorite of imperial soldiers. Whether they are ordinary infantry or artillery, hussars and cuirassiers, they all have their own uniforms and iconic outfits. In order to wear them, officers also have to wear Spend a fortune.
The same goes for other countries' militaries.
Soldiers are creatures of honor and vanity, and of course they like outfits that make them look outstanding.
Although under the current conditions, it is impossible and unnecessary for him to design so many types of military uniforms, but in order to satisfy the vanity of his subordinates, he is also very happy to try to make everyone dress up better while having their own characteristics - —
In addition, in the imperial era, soldiers had to spend their own money to install equipment, but Aigron was prepared to bear this expenditure himself. Anyway, there are not many people now, and it does not cost much for him, which makes his subordinates happy. It can boost their morale even more.
"What I said is true, Your Majesty..." Chanel kept looking at the young man, and then whispered, "You suit this outfit so well!"
"This is all your fault, Chanel." Aigron laughed, "It seems the effect is good, very good, then let's use this suit as a template for our military uniforms. You have made great contributions again. "
As he spoke, he walked to his desk, picked up his sword, then casually made a stance and skillfully flicked a sword flower.
"How's it going? Chanel?" He turned around with an expression on his face that he was waiting for compliments.
He is already imagining that in the future his army will wear such uniforms and rush to the battlefield with great pride.
However, Chanel didn't speak this time. She suddenly stepped forward and desperately hugged her master from behind.
"Your Majesty...that's great..." she said with great excitement, "this is everything I want to see!"
As she spoke, she moved her nose behind the young man to smell the new fabric.
"You are the embodiment of the Empire, everything we need to recreate it."
Although Aiglon was a little surprised by Chanel's behavior at first, he soon understood the other party's joy.
"Thank you, Chanel." He did not break away from Chanel's arms, but put down his sword and stroked her cheek, "I'm glad that we are moving forward for the same goal. We still have a lot to do next. Please continue to share your wisdom and courage with me, and I will never forget your achievements."
"I will, and I will always do this. As long as you achieve great things, I am willing to endure and sacrifice no matter how much you do, because you are the monarch who shines on me and the person I am loyal to all my life." Chanel closed her eyes slightly , "Perhaps after Your Highness Teresa comes, I can only watch you and Your Highness revive the empire, but I am willing to make such a sacrifice. As long as I can silently protect you and your empire, it will last forever for me." An unforgettable honor. What more could I ask for?"
"Whether you ask for it or not is completely different from whether I give it to you, Chanel." Aigron smiled and shook his head, "I am by no means a person who treats friends harshly. You are already my knight, and there will be more glory in the future. The honor—just wait.”
