Eagle’s Glory

"Okay, let the sea god witness. I'm glad to have you by my side, Teresa."

Aigron's words were not only spoken to Teresa, but also to himself in his heart.

Although he does not believe that there is any Poseidon in the world, since there is no Poseidon, the so-called "guarantee for the oath" is certainly impossible to achieve, but since he has made this promise himself, he will take it seriously.

Being with Teresa really made him feel very interesting, and it would be fine if he continued to get along like this in the future.

"Your Highness..." After finally waiting for the response she wanted, Teresa was so happy that she couldn't speak. She just looked at the young man in front of her with eyes full of joy. She hugged the young man tightly as a way to express her gratitude. Come to vent your excitement, "I will never let you regret today. Your Highness, we work together, and eventually your long-cherished wish will be fulfilled, and the glory of the Bonaparte family will be restored... Not only the sea, but also the sky will be Your name will be resounding and your great deeds will be praised.”

"No, not just me, but also you. No matter what I have done or become, your name will be connected to my name, just like today." Aigron replied with a smile, and then he gently He patted Teresa on the forehead.

"Okay, since you are satisfied with my poem, let's continue—if I remember correctly, we are here to fish today, right?"

His implied ridicule made Teresa smile. "Okay, let's continue."

After speaking, she finally let go of her hand, and then picked up the fishing rod again to continue fishing.

Of course, fishing was just an excuse for her to be alone with Aigron and open up to each other, but now that the goal had been achieved, it was not a bad idea to enjoy fishing.

Just as they were preparing to fish side by side again, a strong wind began to blow on the sea.

Under the blowing of the wind, waves began to appear on the originally calm sea.

Amidst the huge sound, the waves became bigger and bigger, and the sea rolled under the golden setting sun, like a broken mirror, with small pieces of the sea shining with golden light.

The boat rocked immediately.

Aigron held on to the edge of the boat and managed to keep himself from being knocked over.

The sea wind howled around him, and waves splashed into the boat from time to time, wetting his clothes.

Eggron found himself a little seasick,

Struggling to maintain his balance, he turned to look at Theresa and found that her face didn't look too good either.

Aigron looked up at the sky again and found that it was now covered with dark clouds, and it seemed like it was going to rain heavily soon.

The wind and waves will only get bigger during the heavy rain. If you continue to stay here, if the boat is overturned by the wind and waves, the consequences will be disastrous.

Neither Agron nor Teresa are expert swimmers who can swim freely in the sea.

So now I can only escape quickly.

"Teresa, it seems we can't stay any longer." Aigron forced himself to smile, and then said to her calmly, "Shall we go back? Are you okay?"

"Well, go back." Theresa nodded quickly. "I'm fine, Your Highness."

The beautiful romantic time ended so hastily in this way. Both of them felt a little regretful, but now is not the time to think about it.

"Okay then...hold me tight!" Aigron motioned to Teresa. "I'll row back."

Teresa didn't hesitate and immediately hugged the young man.

Aiglon picked up the oar and started rowing towards the shore of Monte Cristo Island.

However, due to the resistance of the wind and waves, his rowing speed became very slow, and he could only slowly move closer to the island of Monte Cristo, which had shrunk into a black dot in the distance.

The wind and waves didn't stop, and the waves kept rushing into the boat, soaking the two people, which made it even more uncomfortable.

Aigron looked at the island in the distance, and he suddenly doubted whether he could row the boat to the destination before his strength was exhausted.

It was calm just now, so he rowed here easily; but now he was rowing back against the wind and waves, so the speed of physical exertion was completely different - not to mention that he was not good at water yet and was only rowing with brute force.

Just when he was a little frightened, he discovered that a large ship was approaching his small boat on the other side.

Very good!

He recalled that when he and Teresa were preparing to row over, his personal guard captain Andre Davout had expressed concern and insisted on bringing a boat to follow them at a distance.

At the time, he only thought it was troublesome, but now it helped him a lot.

He immediately changed the course, struggled to make the boat turn a corner in the wind and waves, and then moved closer to the direction from which the ship came.

"Your Highness... are you okay?" While he was rowing with difficulty, Teresa, who was holding behind him, asked worriedly.

"I'm fine, don't worry, we will be rescued soon." Aigron replied briefly, "Teresa, please be careful not to catch a cold."

"I'm not worried." Teresa replied softly, "I don't worry about anything when I stay with Your Highness."

Aigron quietly felt the warmth coming from his back.

I don't know why, but in this turbulent situation, the fear in his heart suddenly dissipated.

yes……

His whole body suddenly had endless strength.

Don't even think about asking me to give in. How could I let my story with Teresa end here? !

With his almost crazy efforts, although the boat kept swaying in the wind and waves, it still moved closer to the opposite side little by little, and the boat on the opposite side was also approaching quickly - obviously they also discovered two Your Majesty is now in a difficult situation.

After a while, the two ships met in the wind and waves.

The rope ladder was immediately lowered on the ship. Aigron grabbed the rope ladder and then looked back at Theresa.

"Teresa, do you still have the strength?"

"It's okay, Your Highness...don't worry about me." Teresa replied.

Although she answered like this, her pale face showed weakness. It seemed that she was also seasick when bumping on the boat just now.

Aiglon grabbed her hand, then pulled her tightly and led her to the rope ladder. Then the two of them climbed up the rope ladder bit by bit, along the side of the ship, and finally, with his efforts, Next, the two people finally came to the deck.

At almost the same time, the dark clouds in the sky began to gather and roll, and then dull thunder began to appear. The dark clouds covered the sun and plunged the sea into shadow. Where could the wind and sunshine look like just now?

After finally escaping the danger, both of them breathed a sigh of relief, but Aigron immediately felt exhausted all over his body - after such a torment, his face was a little pale and his arms were a little weak.

Theresa next to her had already begun to retch due to seasickness, and she finally regained her balance.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?!" Andre Davout looked at him worriedly.

"I'm fine." Aigron replied with a wry smile, "We had a lot of fun just now, but unexpectedly we encountered an unexpected situation... Fortunately, you are here, Andre."

"We saw something was wrong just now, so we sailed over immediately. Fortunately, we finally arrived in time." Andre Davout said happily, "Please be more careful about your own safety in the future. After all, we can't It’s so timely every time.”

After finishing speaking, he secretly glanced at Theresa, with obvious resentment in his eyes.

In his opinion, His Majesty's dangers were all the result of accompanying Princess Theresa to act recklessly. If it weren't for the fact that Princess Theresa was His Majesty's fiancée, he would have denounced her outright.

"Okay, it's already happened. Why are you talking so much?" Aigron noticed Andre's behavior, so he stopped him, "I insisted on being alone with Teresa, I can't blame others. I will pay more attention in the future, thank you for the reminder."

Then, he looked at Theresa again.

Teresa also saw Andre's eyes just now, so now she is frustrated and apologetic.

"Your Highness...I'm sorry, I didn't expect that it would suddenly become like this..."

Seeing her pitiful appearance, Aiglon's heart softened even more.

"Why are you apologizing? It's not your fault. I think it's the Poseidon who is too enthusiastic!" Aigron shook his head nonchalantly. "Maybe there is a god hidden in the sea that is responding to our wishes, but it is too enthusiastic. Okay... so let’s make such a big noise.”

He joked and hugged Teresa, "Don't take this little thing to heart, let's go back."

Under his comfort, Teresa finally stopped apologizing and just leaned quietly in the young man's arms.

Looking at His Highness's caring face, Teresa was even more moved.

His Highness had just taken him to ride the wind and waves and escape from the storm. At that time, she was holding him behind her and escaped from danger safely.

His shoulders are so strong, so reliable, protecting and containing himself.

Maybe the turmoil just now was the trial bestowed by the Sea God? Theresa thought.

She didn't know what Poseidon would think of the result, but in short, she was very satisfied. His Highness never thought of leaving her until the last moment and cared about her safety - for her, this was enough.

Your Highness will never leave me, so I must do the same.

Soon, Andre Davout asked someone to drive the boat back to Monte Cristo Island. The boat passed through the wind, rain and waves, and reached the trestle on the island. Aiglon took Teresa and got off the boat. Finally, Ended this storm.

The two of them walked back to their room, and Chanel was shocked to see them.

"Your Majesty! What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing. We just went boating on the sea and encountered some wind and rain." Aigron shrugged, "Hurry up and give Theresa some clothes to change into. They are all soaked."

"Yes." Although Chanel had a lot of doubts in her heart, it was obviously not the time to ask more questions. She quickly took out the clothes from Theresa's wardrobe, and then came over to help Theresa change them.

Aigron exited the room, preparing to change clothes for himself.

In silence, Chanel carefully changed Teresa's skirt.

Then, she opened her mouth to ask what happened just now.

"It's nothing. I asked Your Highness to go fishing with me in the sea, but we got caught in a storm." Teresa replied with a wry smile. "Not only did we get nothing, but we almost fell into the sea ourselves... It's really annoying."

"It turned out to be like this!" Chanel turned pale with fright, "Your Highness, please don't put His Majesty in danger again."

"I will learn a lesson." Teresa nodded apologetically, "However, in a sense, this time is not entirely bad news. I can finally say loudly that I was right."

"What do you mean?" Chanel asked.

"Ever since I was a child, I sometimes have unrealistic dreams. My parents always scold me for my unrealistic dreams. They think I have lost my mind while reading books and do not know how to proceed from reality. But I am very confused. If everyone If you can only see the reality in front of you and don’t pursue your own wishes, then how poor and boring life must be? No one told me the answer, as if boring has become a conventional rule, and everyone should live in such a boring way. , until the end of life.”

Teresa quietly looked at the mirror in front of her, feeling a little selfless for a moment. "Fortunately, I met His Highness. He made my dreams come true. He has all the conditions I added for my partner in my dreams - I originally thought this was just a childish fantasy, and I didn't dare to take it seriously. of!

Even though His Highness has denied to my face time and time again that he is anything but the ideal person in my dreams, he is wrong...he is. Just because I know he is, I desperately want to catch him, so I came here, willing to pay the price of abandoning everything, because I know that my dream will come true with him only this time, and never again. There is a second time. I'm glad I made it...God, thank you for making it happen! Hey, it would be great if I had the opportunity to write to my mother now to let her share my joy..."

Chanel stood aside blankly, listening to Theresa's confession.

She didn't expect Princess Teresa to express her feelings in such dramatic words - maybe she was speaking to herself.

As early as when she was in the Austrian court, she heard everyone say that Princess Teresa liked literature and was even a little addicted to it. It seemed that this was indeed the case.

However, Chanel was not unable to understand Theresa's mood - because she thought so in her heart, but she just didn't know how to express it exactly.

Maybe I can't say something as eloquent and brilliant as Her Majesty the Princess, but when it comes to loyalty and love for Her Majesty, how can I lose to her?

It's a pity that fate can only let me get to this point.

If Princess Teresa can be beneficial to His Majesty's cause, she can finally feel a little relieved.

Even so, I still feel a little sad inside.

"Shall I continue combing your hair?" She sighed secretly in her heart, and then picked up the comb.

"Chanel, thank you for taking care of me." Teresa closed her eyes obediently and let the comb stroke her wet hair. "I know that your relationship with His Highness is unusual, but that is also You deserve the reward after you have paid so much. No matter whether His Highness's future career is successful or unsuccessful, I will do my best to save your life. In the future, I will also be willing to respect you and value you as much as Your Highness, and let you share our glory... …So, I ask you to respect me in the future and act according to my instructions without violating His Highness’s will, okay? This is a request, not an order. Although I theoretically have the right to order you, I think I should respect you. Your will is more important because you are the one we can truly trust."

Chanel's hand stopped.

"I understand, Your Highness." After a moment, she nodded calmly and continued to comb her hair. "No matter what happens, I will always respect you."
