Eagle’s Glory

"...Please show mercy and lift the shadow in my heart, can you?"

Seeing that Aigron spoke so sincerely and politely, Agnes knew in her heart that he had done his best to be polite.

She is not a petty person, and she has always admired the young man in front of her during this period of time, so at this time, she is too embarrassed to dwell on Aiglon's previous offense.

Furthermore, Aigron is about to embark on a new campaign, and he really shouldn't affect everyone anymore because of what happened in the past.

So, she silently stretched out her hand and shook the young man's hand, silently expressing her feelings.

Aigron squeezed her hand. After a while, Agnes wanted to pull it out, but he kept holding it. It wasn't until a while later that he let go, then took a step back and bowed to Agnes. Farewell, "Thank you for your magnanimity, allowing me to devote myself wholeheartedly to the cause of justice... You will see that I will achieve achievements that are difficult for others to achieve!"

"Then I wish you immediate success." Agnes replied with a smile.

Although this smile was very forced, it was enough to express her mood at the moment.

Then, Aiglon turned and left.

The smile on his face was indeed from the bottom of his heart, because he had noticed that Agnes' remaining good impression of him had not disappeared.

This is enough.

=============================

While Aiglon went to see Agnes, Teresa, who stayed behind at the port of Mesoni, was also meeting another person.

This man is none other than his ally, Panos Colokotronis.

He was originally at his father's side, but after receiving the invitation from Teresa, he rushed here to meet Teresa.

After arriving at the previously requisitioned hotel, he went upstairs under the guidance of Chanel, and then in the reception room, he met the girl who usually lived in seclusion.

"Nice to meet you, beautiful lady." As soon as he saw Teresa, he greeted her in fluent French.

he knows,

This girl was the "favorite" of Duke Lechstadt, and she was granted full authority by him to take charge of all affairs in the rear. Therefore, he did not dare to put on airs in front of her at all, but instead showed her enough respect.

As Aegron continued to win in the expedition, he valued the importance of this ally more and more, so he became more polite to Teresa.

"Nice to meet you, sir." Theresa also bowed her knee and saluted him.

After the initial pleasantries, the two people quickly got down to business.

"I invited you here because I received a letter from His Highness. He wanted me to seek help from you." Teresa said very politely.

"If you need anything, please just say it. As long as we can satisfy it, we will definitely satisfy it." Panos is also a down-to-earth person. He didn't hesitate at all and agreed directly. "We admire the hero the most. Now Mr. Leader Leading his men to shed blood for Greece, we must all do our best to help him due to circumstances and reasons."

"It would be great to have your words." Teresa smiled with satisfaction.

Then, she directly stated Aigron's request, "First of all, he hopes that you will recruit a group of sergeants from your subordinates to supplement his military strength, because he will have a larger military operation next - and he hopes , those born in and around Mesolongi are preferred."

Panos did not reply immediately, but raised his eyebrows slightly.

"In other words, he hopes to attack Messolonghi?"

"Yes." Teresa nodded directly.

Now that His Highness's actions are on the line, there is no need to hide it from his allies.

Now he needs more cannon fodder, and he also needs guides who are familiar with the local conditions - it would be even better if they were people who escaped from the Mesolonghion Fortress when it fell.

After getting the confirmation, Panos first showed joy, and then hesitated a little.

"It is a good choice to march into Messolonghi, but...the fortifications there are strong, and it is not easy to chew."

"This is why he asked you for help." Teresa immediately replied, "It is impossible to solve this war quickly without the help of people who are familiar with the local situation. Sir, I hope you can help His Highness." "Partial force,"

"Okay." Now that the words have come to this, Panos Colokotronis can no longer refuse, "Not enough... As you know, we are currently facing off against the Turkish army, and we really can't tell the difference. There are too many people, I can only select those who are familiar with the local conditions from the army and send them there, the number may be only a few hundred..."

"Too few." Teresa shook her head and did not agree with this statement, "Sir, I know your difficulties, but you must also admit that because of His Highness's assistance and restraint, the difficulties you and your father are facing The pressure is greatly reduced, and the more brilliant his results are, the easier it will be on your side - so you should show more sincerity to your allies, both emotionally and practically."

Under Teresa's stubborn insistence, Panos could only make some concessions, "Okay, since you said so, let's try our best to get more than a thousand people for him to command. This is already what we can I did my best..."

Seeing what Panos said, Teresa also understood that she could only go so far on this issue.

Therefore, in order not to affect the relationship between the two parties, she nodded and agreed to this condition.

"Then do it this way—"

Panos breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then is there anything else you want?" he asked.

"There's one more thing." Teresa replied immediately, "To tell you the truth, since we came here, we have been trying to contact the Austrian officials, and during this time, our efforts have also failed. It has achieved results... In the near future, the embassy in Istanbul in Austria may send a commissioner to come over secretly to understand the situation here. If you are interested, you can contact him together——"

Although her tone was flat, Panos was delighted to hear it.

In the past, when the Turks counterattacked and the independent army was in danger, the Greeks' greatest hope was the intervention of the great powers. Now, although the situation has improved after the support of Duke Lechstadt, they still want to shake Turkey's centuries-old rule. However, the attitude of the European powers is still indispensable.

At this time, the appearance of Austria is tantamount to the real gospel.

"Of course! I'm very happy!" He agreed immediately without thinking, "No matter when and where you call me, I will gladly come."

"That would be best." Teresa still smiled, "But let me remind you that this matter must be kept strictly confidential for now. It is best if only you and your son know about it, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to everyone. ——”

"Of course, I understand, I understand." Panos repeatedly agreed.

After a while, he recovered from his excitement, and suddenly looked at the girl in front of him suspiciously.

This "favorite concubine" is not only beautiful, but also has a calm and elegant temperament, and her conversation is relaxed and moderate. She does not look like the kind of girl who simply serves others with sex, but more like she has received similar education since she was a child. people...

Then think of her being able to contact the Austrian authorities...

Panos' pupils dilated slightly. Obviously, he had already guessed Teresa's identity at this time.

Then, he was extremely shocked by his conjecture - if it was true, then how could she do such a deviant thing?

"You are... what's your name?" He asked almost incoherently.

But even at this moment, Teresa still didn't say anything, she just smiled lightly.

"Sir, why do you have to worry about who I am? As long as the person standing here is His Highness's authorized agent, is fully trusted by him, and can sign any agreement with you, isn't that enough? The rest are not Insignificant minutiae?"

"Some things are trivial, but there are some things we can't ignore..." Panos shook his head, still wanting to get to the bottom of this matter, "If you are really the person I guessed, then we must treat you as you should posture to deal with you..."

It seems that he has already guessed everything... Teresa thought to herself.

Suddenly she felt a little funny again—maybe they knew of her existence only because of the sensational incident of His Highness.

She was remembered by the world because of the disaster, and she believed that after a while, her name would be known to the world in a more brilliant way.

Now that this was mentioned, Teresa simply stopped hiding.

"Your guess is correct. I am indeed His Highness's fiancée." She looked at Panos calmly, "So you see, isn't it natural for me to do these things for him?"

"I see..." Panos suddenly realized, and then laughed, "Then I would like to ask, when will you hold the wedding?"

"This depends on your efforts..." Teresa smiled slyly, "His Highness and I have agreed that once the overall situation in Greece is decided, we will get married and decorate our wedding with the glory of this ancient civilized country. ."

"This is... so admirable!" Panos bowed to her with deep admiration, "Your Highness, if you need to keep it secret now, I will keep it secret for you, but I hope that one day, all of Greece will The people in the world will cheer for your wedding, and I also wish you and that Highness a happy marriage forever."

"Thank you!" Teresa also sincerely thanked the other party.

Soon, the private discussions between the two people ended. They reached a secret agreement on these major issues and continued the friendly cooperative relationship between the two parties.

For Teresa, she was once again in a good mood to get the job done that needed to be done, adding to both of their careers.

After finishing her lunch, she began to open and read the letters sent from various places as usual.

Of course, the top priority was the letter written by Aigron to her. After she read it carefully, she carefully stored it in the designated box and put it together with the previous letters.

Then she started reading other letters.

The first was a letter to her from Major Henchy, who was also at the front.

Although she did not have a close relationship with the major, they were both Austrians and were sent here by her father, so she also had a good impression of the major, so she chose to read his letters.

The major was not a person who was good at writing. His handwriting was very sloppy, and Teresa had some difficulty in reading the content.

Then, she was stunned, and the good mood she had accumulated all day suddenly disappeared.

Although Major Hench intentionally used euphemistic words and spoke vaguely, and spent most of the space describing other things he saw and heard, with Teresa's mind, she could of course see through what the major really wanted to say at a glance.

Almost as soon as she finished reading, a surge of anger suddenly emerged from her heart, and along with the anger was the relief that "it was just as expected".

"I knew it... I knew it!" She felt angry and sad at the same time, and then threw the letter heavily back on the table, "This group of people had this idea from the beginning, right?! Humph...otherwise there would be such a strange thing, why would you let a girl come here on purpose? How shameless!"

After venting quietly, she bit her lip lightly, and then vented her anger on another person.

"That's the kind of person he is! I've always known it! He's so unruly, even his aunt, how could he let go of such an opportunity... I tried my best to help him, but he ended up doing it this way. Pay me back... What a ungrateful villain! Bad guy!"

After venting for a while, she finally suppressed her anger a little.

She raised her head and looked into the void in front of her. The young man's handsome face seemed to appear in front of her.

How uninhibited is this hateful guy? He was obviously on the front line with many things to do and leading troops to fight, but in the end, he still had to look for opportunities to have fun during his busy schedule.

What a bad guy with strong desires.

And the sad thing is that the one she loves is such a bad guy.

Even if she knew this, she still couldn't let go of the love in her heart, and it was even harder for her to let go of every bit of the two of them getting along together and sleeping in each other's arms.

Those are the sweet things that she will remember for the rest of her life.

"Your Highness must have done this because he was too lonely..." She defended herself in a low voice, as if giving herself an explanation.

Therefore, she was more eager than before to return to His Highness as soon as possible.

After all, the two of them had only been apart for such a short period of time, and something like this happened. If we let it go, what would happen next?

Moreover, Teresa had no confidence in the people around His Highness. Although Major Hench did not say it explicitly, it was obvious that when His Highness did these things, the people around him did not stop him in the slightest.

Out of the standpoint of being French, the people around him might be happy to see this happen, and intentionally help him hide himself.

These bastards... they will have to be dealt with sooner or later.

When she thought of this, Teresa felt even more urgent.

However, no matter how urgent she was, she knew she couldn't leave everything here and rush there immediately, otherwise it would cause too much chaos.

You must take the time to deal with this first.

This is their business, and there is no room for mistakes.

She composed herself, calmed herself down from her anger and anxiety, and then walked to the door.

"Chanel!" she shouted flatly.
