Eagle’s Glory

Chapter 182 70, Self

[69 has been deleted. Even after modification, it still failed. Sorry.

In fact, I have paid great attention to restraint, but it just doesn't work, so there is nothing I can do.

There is a boundary between art and yihui, I thought I could step on the boundary, but now they are all wiped out, there is neither yihui nor art... meow...]

I don’t know how long it took before everything was over.

The two people finally woke up from the delirious joy.

Chanel's red face still contained residual excitement, and she was looking at her master with tears and a smile at the same time.

"His Majesty……"

At this point, she seemed speechless again, and just cuddled tightly next to the young man, enjoying the tenderness after leisure.

The two people were lying on their sides, their eyes facing each other, and Aigron looked at her carefully.

This usually docile and dignified girl seemed to be exuding astonishing beauty due to the sublimation of her soul and desires at this moment, especially her pair of turquoise eyes, which were as bright as the light of a lake.

so cute.

He has always been taking care of her and being admired by her. Sometimes he really doubts, is he really worthy of this kind of unreserved loyalty?

But no matter what, he must do his best to repay and respond, because he has no way to let her down anymore.

He has no confidence in his abilities, nor can he believe that he can really complete the great cause that fate has entrusted to him, but even so, he still has to fight hard and work hard with confidence, because... he cannot let his trust rest on him. If your expectations are disappointed, you can't let everything you sacrifice become worthless.

Not only Chanel, but also the sacrifices and contributions made by others for him. The combination of these deep friendships left him with no way out.

How can we live without fear and self-doubt?

But he has no right to do so.

Therefore, he would rather hypnotize himself, firmly believe that he will win, firmly believe that history will open up a new path for him, firmly believe that he will be immortal in this life, and let everything crawl under his feet.

Either become emperor or become a madman - or both at the same time, this is the choice he makes for himself.

With sleepwalking certainty, he gently raised his hand and stroked Chanel's hair lovingly.

"Chanel..." he called softly. "How are you?"

"I am fine,

Never been better, Your Majesty... I love you! "Chanel endured the pain in her body and managed to cheer up, "Thank you for giving me such an honor... Now I can finally say this proudly without any worries..."

"At least you don't have to call me Your Majesty today, call me Aiglon." The young man laughed, "There is no such thing as Your Majesty in bed."

Chanel's face turned even redder.

"Aige...Aige...Long..." She mustered up the courage and tried to read the name several times, and finally called out the name, but she could not say the name smoothly no matter what.

"Yes, it sounds good." Aigron nodded, "Then you can call me that in the future. I feel a little guilty about calling you Your Majesty all the time."

"No!" Chanel suddenly answered loudly, and then she lowered her head slightly, "Your Majesty, please don't make things difficult for me, okay? How can I call you that!"

"If it's just the two of us present, what do we need to care about?" Aigron smiled.

"That's not okay. I am your maid, your subject, and your closest attendant. Because of this, I cannot be disrespectful to you. I should set an example so that I can maintain the organization and harmony. Only with the discipline of the future court can others treat you with the same respect." Chanel shook his head slowly, and then answered seriously, "Even if there are only two of us here, you are the person I must respect. You cannot allow yourself to violate your creed. Your Majesty, I only ask for these things from you because I love you. I have never thought of using this to improve my status in front of others, so you allow me to show my loyalty and love to you. , keep it in the purest way!"

This silly girl!

How blind and amazingly loyal she was, yet she still voluntarily put herself in such a humble position...Aigron didn't know what to say.

The courage to forcefully ask for it just now was probably the limit of what she could do for herself.

Aiglon was a little dumbfounded, but after a moment, he felt a little pitiful for Chanel.

Therefore, in order not to make her more pitiful, I cannot live up to her expectations...

He said to himself again in his heart.

A person is not only a body composed of bones and flesh, but also the sum of all social relationships in an abstract sense. A person not only shapes himself through learning, imitation, and a series of life choices; he is also shaped by his own kinship and his own social relationships. of.

At best, this is called bondage, at worst, it's called bondage. It just depends on how you look at it.

"Well, since you insist, let me take back what I said." He could only nod helplessly.

Then, he leaned over and kissed her smooth forehead gently.

"You take a good rest, let me clean up."

Then, he forced himself to endure the fatigue after strenuous exercise, let himself sit up, then picked up the clothes scattered aside and put them on again.

"Your Majesty! Let me do it..." Chanel hurriedly wanted to sit up, but because of the exhaustion and pain in her body, she just got up and lay down again, "Ah... Your Majesty, I'm sorry..."

"Don't force yourself, Chanel." Aiglon made a gesture to stop Chanel's actions. "Since you respect me, you must obey my orders. I order you to take a holiday today, and at the same time order you to rest well. I can do the rest by myself."

After speaking, Aigron started to clean up.

He opened the window first, letting the sea breeze blow in and dissipate the smell from the room.

No one would have cared about this situation in the passion just now, but after he woke up, he felt that the smell in the room was really strange.

Then, he took out a new set of sheets from the cabinet next to him and began to replace the sheets that were already stained with filth and blood.

Although he had been served since he was a child and had never done housework, he could still complete such a simple task easily. Chanel could only lie on the bed, looking at everything the young man had done for her with eyes full of happiness and guilt.

After finishing all this, Aigron stood at the head of the bed and nodded to Chanel.

"Okay, take a good rest. If you don't feel well tomorrow, it doesn't matter if you rest for a few more days. I can take care of myself anyway."

"No, I can continue my work tomorrow." Chanel insisted, "Your Majesty, how can I let you suffer because of me? These small things... can't waste your time, I should do it... …”

Well... what else can I say?

Since she insisted, Aigron could only shrug.

"Get some rest." He emphasized again and walked out of the room.

As he walked outside, he thought silently, and unknowingly walked out of the ruins of the monastery and came to the rocks on the seaside.

Some people greeted the young man along the way, but they could all see that he was out of his mind, so everyone consciously stepped aside so as not to disturb His Majesty.

So Aigron stood alone on the beach, quietly overlooking the sea, listening to the sound of waves hitting the rocks.

Before I knew it, I had been here for several months. Agron thought.

After these days, he found that he had missed this desolate island.

This small island has witnessed the whole process of him owning a group loyal to himself from scratch, until just now it has witnessed everything that happened between him and Chanel.

He left many unforgettable memories here.

But it is destined not to be his destination. There is a bigger stage outside waiting for him to perform.

But no matter what, he didn't want to give this island to anyone.

If he really became the emperor of France, then no one would stop him even if he declared that this small island is French territory. Anyway, it is a land without owner...

Then, give this place to Chanel as a trivial gift—of course, at that time, Chanel will always be by his side, and there will be very few chances to come to this small island again.

Let everything here be dusted by time and remain here as an eternal witness of great achievements.

"Your Majesty...why are you here in a daze? Are you composing some poem?" At this moment, he heard a greeting from beside him.

He turned his head and saw that his cousin Louis was looking at him with a smile and walking towards him quickly.

On this island, only his two cousins ​​dared to speak to him in such a close and almost equal manner.

To be honest, I don't hate it. After all, I have to be treated respectfully every time. It felt majestic and comfortable at first, but after a long time, I really got tired of it.

"You came just in time, Louis. I still have something to ask you for." He nodded calmly.

"Looking for me? What's going on?" Louis was a little strange.

"I hope you will go to Greece as my plenipotentiary representative." Aigron explained what he meant, "Edmond Dantès has been going well in Greece recently, so it's time to move on to the next step, I hope On my behalf, you go to contact the current independent government of Greece to see if they are willing to accept our aid - if they don't want to, that's okay, and you also go to their opposition, those who were previously damaged by internal strife, If the Greek government doesn’t appreciate promotion, we will find a way to overthrow them and replace them with those who are willing to be our friends!”

Under Aigron's explanation, Louis probably understood.

He had no hesitation or aversion to Aiglon's conspiracy. On the contrary, the Bonaparte family's adventurous gene was stirring in his body.

"Adventure! Okay! I like it!" He immediately nodded and agreed, "I will do my best to complete your mission."

"I just like your courage, Louis." Seeing Louis' eagerness to give it a try, Aigron laughed, "However, given that the Count of Monte Cristo has already done a great job in Greece, in order to avoid unclear responsibilities, I decided to clarify the relationship between the two of you at that time - you are the prince of the clan, and your status is of course higher than him. He must maintain courtesy and respect for you and be responsible for your safety, but accordingly, you cannot interfere with his specific actions. He has the right to continue to carry out the tasks I gave him according to his own ideas. I will also explain it in detail in my letter to him."

"Okay, I understand." Louis nodded, but Aigron also noticed the hidden disappointment in his eyes.

Aigron was afraid that after running to Greece, he would blindly command Edmund to satisfy his own desire for power, so he was vaccinated in advance.

"My cousin..." I reached out and patted the other person's shoulder, "Of all the people, I trust you the most and rely on your ability the most. However, if an organization wants to survive, the most important thing is discipline. I can't bear it. You will pay the price of failure, so please do as I say."

"I will." Louis quickly promised again, but soon he asked with some hesitation, "Did you listen to Father Faria's rumors in making this arrangement?"

"I always make decisions based on my own considerations." Aigron replied with a straight face, "Father Faria only has the right to make suggestions, and it is all my idea how to do it in the end."

"Your Majesty, of course I don't doubt your wisdom." Louis replied quickly, "However, Father Faria and Count Monte Cristo have been disconnected from the world for too long, and they are so close to each other. I'm afraid they will put their own interests aside. above your interests."

Obviously, Louis was jealous that he trusted the adopted father and son too much, so he was sowing discord.

As a ruler, he enjoys seeing his subordinates at odds with each other - that way they have more incentive to perform their best to please their master, and a monarch can easily become blinded if his subordinates unite behind closed doors. Listening is even directly dismissed, and authority is gone.

However, this kind of internal struggle must be controlled within a certain range and cannot develop into fierce conflicts with each other. Otherwise, no matter how large the group is, it will only be paralyzed.

Only Aigron can control the speed. At least for now, he can still control it.

"I will make a judgment on what they do." Aigron replied calmly, "Don't worry, no matter how big a world we conquer, it will ultimately be owned by Bonaparte, and outsiders are just outsiders anyway."

"Just remember!" Louis also heaved a sigh of relief.

The reason why he worked tirelessly for his cousin was just to get a share of the country?

"I just made a decision." After a moment of silence, Aigron said suddenly.

"What decision?" Louis was puzzled.

"If it was yesterday, I might have thought differently, but after today, I have decided - I will never allow Chanel to marry anyone else, she must always be by my side, no one Let me send her away, and no one can snatch her away from me." Aigron looked at Louis coldly and calmly, "If someone asks me why I am so selfish, then I can tell him that I am Your Majesty, I can do whatever I want, it's as simple as that. It's she and you who made me the one who calls the shots, so I will be that person! I fulfill your wishes, and you have to fulfill mine. "

"Your Majesty..." Looking at the young man's face, Louis gasped, "Why did you say that suddenly? I never said anything like asking you to drive Chanel away..."

"I said it to myself, my beloved cousin." Aigron suddenly smiled and then shrugged. "So, please never offend Chanel, thank you."
