Eagle’s Glory

"I have a clear conscience, do I need to be afraid of anything?"

Agnes's question was loud and full of unashamed pride, even Chanel felt quite heartbroken, and she also knew that Miss Agnes was right.

But her current task is to use Agnes' pride to pit her against Teresa. Thinking of this, she can't help but feel a little helpless.

But in the final analysis, what she wants to be loyal to and serve is only His Majesty. Since His Majesty's wish is this, she can only do her best to fulfill it.

"Since you have such a heart, that's great..." Chanel looked at Agnes gratefully, "Miss Agnes, I don't know what other people think, but as a witness by Your Majesty and you, I I fully understand that you are innocent and were innocently involved in this turmoil. Only hating me is not enough to defend you in front of Princess Teresa, nor can it prevent Your Majesty and Her Royal Highness from arguing about this matter..."

"Chanel, this is not your business, what do you need to feel guilty about?" Agnes felt pity in her heart, so she couldn't help comforting her, "This kind of unprovoked turmoil will pass quickly after all, I think Princess Teresa is also a sensible person, and she will not embarrass everyone because of trivial matters; if she is really willful and stubborn, then the headache is not you, but your master who deserves to be blamed—I See if he deserves to be punished!"

"You are right in saying that, but... but how can I stay out of it and look at His Majesty in embarrassment! From the day I met Your Majesty, I have been by His Majesty's side all the time. Saying something may make you If I feel presumptuous, I have already connected my fate with the fate of His Majesty. His victory is my victory, in other words, his pain is also my pain. Her Highness Sha quarreled and fell into pain, how could I pretend that nothing happened?"

At the beginning, these words were the words Edgar had prepared for her, but when she spoke later, she was not really lying, and all the words were her true feelings, so they were more convincing and appealing.

Agnes couldn't help but be touched by the rich emotions shown in her words and expressions.

Although Agnes is usually cold and reserved to outsiders, she takes her family very seriously, and Chanel's feelings for that guy are exactly the same.

That guy is so shameless, Chanel should still be so loyal, it's pathetic.

Thinking of Chanel being so pitiful, Agnes' tone couldn't help but softened.

"Why,

Well, if you must think so, then I can't help it. In short, there is not much I can do for you. Since I promised to be invited to the banquet, I will go. "

"Then can you promise me one more request?" Chanel raised her head and asked with tears in her eyes.

"What request?" Agnes suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Although Princess Teresa doesn't intend to embarrass you, she may still have some lingering anger. Can you treat her a little... a little more respectful? After all, she is His Majesty's fiancée, and she is what we all want to respect in the future. Mistress, and you see, there are many people under her who are helping His Majesty, if His Majesty falls out with her because of this, it will be a disaster for all of us..."

"What?" Agnes was stunned for a moment, then immediately frowned, "May I flatter Princess Teresa? No!"

She categorically rejected Chanel's request.

apologize? Please? That is impossible.

She has always been a proud and arrogant person, if she really committed some crimes that are detrimental to virtue, then that's fine, and it's okay to admit her mistakes; but in this matter, she has always had a clear conscience. To make amends for non-existent "sins" and to bow down to Teresa?

It's not that she doesn't feel sorry for Chanel and doesn't want to help her. It's that this request is too much in her opinion and has violated her principles.

Inadvertently, Agnes didn't realize that her emotions had been led to a position of opposition to Princess Teresa—she had subconsciously determined that the other party was looking for trouble for her before she met Princess Teresa up.

Although she is skilled, she is not sociable, and even a little naive.

Usually, those young ladies of the same age either stay away from her because of fear, or deliberately ignore her because they are afraid of being robbed of their light by her. subtleties in between.

In the world of fighting with swords, it is not important to be unreasonable, but when she accidentally falls into a world with complex human relationships, she will naturally be at a loss and be easily guided by the light of fireflies.

Because she had a good impression of Chanel, it was not surprising that she believed the other party's words naturally.

Seeing Agnes rejecting her request in such a rage, Chanel, instead of being sad and desperate, felt relieved immediately.

At first, she was a little skeptical about the words Edgar taught her, thinking that it would not be so easy to work. How could she know that she would easily lead Agnes to take the bait just after trying it!

On the one hand, this is because Agnes is his sister-in-law, and he has many opportunities to get along with each other. He can understand Agnes's character flaws and take advantage of them; Accustomed to the tricks of ghosts and ghosts in the social scene of Paris, they are good at manipulating people's hearts.

Thinking of this, Chanel suddenly woke up again.

Edgar and all his kind are a little scary, cynical and deceitful, and have little respect for human principles, so be on your guard.

He is now His Majesty's courtier, but how much loyalty will he have in his heart? Chanel absolutely did not believe it.

So you can't trust him at all.

While so many thoughts were going through her mind, Chanel put on that weeping look again, and continued to beg Agnes.

"Even for my sake, aren't you willing to condescend a little?"

"I'm sorry, Chanel, but I really can't do this." Agnes looked away because she was a little embarrassed, "You are the servants of Princess Teresa, and it is your duty to flatter her, so You can do this, but I am not her subject, and I have no obligation to bow down to her! Besides, what if she really becomes the queen of France one day in the future? I still don’t need to please her, I see The king and princess have done so many times, if I wanted to please them, I would have done it long ago, but I didn't! So I won't in the future."

Agnes is also telling the truth. Although she didn't like to participate in social activities when she was in Paris, as a princess, she naturally visited the royal family members a lot. If she wanted to flatter them, she would have done so long ago. Yes, but because of her own pride, she doesn't bother to do the same as others.

For her, even if the unmarried couple Eggron and Teresa really come to France one day in the future, it is just a change of two people on the throne, which does not mean that she has to change her will and way of living .

It was precisely because the words came from the heart that Agnes acted so proudly that Chanel was a little impressed.

Moreover, this is also the answer she wants to get.

Although she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, on the surface she could only continue to be very disappointed and lowered her gaze.

"Okay... Since this is your insistence, I am not qualified to force it. After all, you are not obliged to please Her Royal Highness for us." She sighed first, and then asked another question, "Then, why don't you go back?" Second, can you take an evasive attitude in order to quell this turmoil? I mean, if you have any communication with Her Royal Highness, you'd better not mention this matter, and let it be in everyone's silence Let's get over it... Your Royal Highness is still angry, but since His Majesty has explained the situation clearly, and you will not have anything to do with His Majesty, as long as no one mentions this matter anymore, time will naturally flow All problems can be wiped away."

Agnes thought about it, and found that there seemed to be no problem with her words.

If there is no previous foreshadowing, she may still have some resistance, but when Chanel asked her tearfully and was rejected by her, she will inevitably feel a little bit guilty about Chanel—after all, she Is a soft-hearted person.

So, in front of this kind of progressive words, she was led ignorantly to the place where others had already been waiting there.

"Okay... Since you have asked me so much, then I will promise you." She nodded lightly, and agreed to Chanel, "However, I can avoid these things, and everyone else must avoid them too! Tell me Your master, don't say those shameless things to me anymore, and never have anything to do with me in the future! If you know that you are afraid of Teresa, then you are like a fiancé should be!"

"I will definitely convey it to you, and I believe that after such a turmoil, His Majesty will definitely learn a lesson, and will never act so frivolously again..." Chanel nodded and agreed. "I think His Majesty may have been a little dazed because of the recent success of the war. He is definitely not like this usually..."

As she spoke, she glanced at Agnes with hidden pity.

She has successfully completed today's task, and the effect is even better than she originally imagined.

Is Agnes too naive? Or is Edgar too insidious and treacherous? Maybe it's a little bit of both.

All in all, the scourge that His Majesty was most worried about has been relieved for the time being.

Of course Agnes couldn't probe into Chanel's heart, so she spat in disdain.

"Don't say good things, I've already seen it. That guy's heart is as dirty as ever. How could he become like this recently?"

Chanel declined to comment, but stood up and saluted Agnes as a farewell.

"Okay, since you have agreed to my humble request, I have nothing more to ask of you, Miss Agnes, my heart is full of gratitude to you... If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely repay you Gracious!"

"Okay, I don't care about what I don't repay." Agnes shrugged easily, and then said goodbye to Chanel with a smile, "Chanel, you should also take care of yourself, don't put everything on your shoulders. It's all on you—"

"But I have my duty..." Chanel replied with a wry smile.

Then she turned and left, closing the door behind her.

As soon as she walked out of the room, Chanel seemed to be discouraged for a moment, and her whole body relaxed.

Although it is not difficult to cheat Miss Agnes, for her, there is a very uncomfortable psychological pressure, or a sense of guilt.

However, His Majesty's will is above all else, and she must try her best to accomplish it.

If one day, Your Majesty really gets together with Miss Agnes, I must take good care of her——she thought to herself.

With this kind of self-comforting thought, she finally recovered her spirits, then walked to another residential house not far away, and knocked on the door again.

The door opened quickly, and Edgar's face appeared in front of her, with his charming and elegant smile.

"Miss Chanel, may I ask how things are going?" He turned sideways to open the way to enter the door, and asked Chanel gently.

Although his behavior was polite, and his words and deeds were full of aristocratic upbringing and restraint, Chanel at this time, instead of feeling flattered, felt a kind of vigilance and disgust from the bottom of his heart.

This person, all his words and deeds are just shells, his heart is almost completely empty, with nothing but himself... She suddenly had this strange thought.

She has stayed in the palaces of Munich and Vienna, and has seen the intrigues of those nobles and adults. Although Edgar is far inferior to them in power and prestige, and does not even have much desire for power, he is such a person. But for the first time, it gave Chanel a creepy sense of horror——

Absolutely, absolutely must not have any sense of trust in him, otherwise it will be miserable... She thought to herself.

However, at this moment, he is useful to His Majesty, so I must also show superficial respect to him.

"Things are going well." She replied in a low voice as she walked into the door, "Miss Agnes, as you expected, refused to give in to Princess Teresa, and at the same time agreed not to talk to Princess Teresa again." Mention this..."

"Great..." Edgar nodded lightly, then looked at Chanel with a smile, "I knew you would be able to handle things well."

After a pause, he said, "Okay, half of it is done, so let's look forward to the other half."

"The other half?" Chanel was a little surprised, "What do you mean?"

"You will see, and soon." Edgar smiled inappropriately, and then answered her gently.
