Eagle’s Glory

"You will see, and soon."

In Chanel's eyes, Edgar's smile was obviously a bit weird, but she knew that even if she asked, the other party might not answer her, so she could only endure her doubts secretly.

But just because she was a little worried, she couldn't help but warn the other party.

"Sir, I want to remind you that although His Majesty does favor Miss Agnes now, in his heart, Princess Teresa is also his fiancée. She is also our mistress, and we must respect her! No matter what you plan to do, I ask you to be careful, and don't embarrass Her Highness, otherwise Her Majesty will not forgive us."

Chanel's tone was solemn, but Edgar obviously didn't take it to heart, he just nodded slightly and replied perfunctorily.

"Don't worry, I know how to measure."

In Edgar's view, he has already offended Princess Teresa, and what he did will inevitably conflict with her, so it is meaningless to think about "proportion", it is better to turn passive into active, Make Princess Teresa unable to avenge herself.

Of course, it is not easy to achieve this. He can see that neither His Majesty nor the people around His Majesty think highly of him, which means that His Majesty has no motivation at all in the face of His Highness Teresa's anger. save yourself--

Unless, I can become indispensable; unless I can make my backer indispensable to His Majesty.

That's all he needs to do.

Although Chanel didn't know what Edgar was thinking, she instinctively felt something was wrong from the other's perfunctory attitude.

However, the situation has developed to this stage, and she has no choice but to hide her worries in her heart.

At the same time, she felt strong wariness and disgust towards Edgar in her heart, and she would never trust him for a second in the future.

Now that what should be said has been said, Chanel is unwilling to stay in front of him for a second, and immediately leaves, while Edgar politely sends her away, and then starts his own plan non-stop.

In this way, time is passing by every minute and every second.

During the day, Aigron has been inspecting his own army according to the scheduled schedule, condolences to the frontline soldiers and the wounded, and cheering up the morale of all officers and soldiers.

And because of his victories, wherever he went, he aroused cheers everywhere, and everyone felt proud.

Soon it was night, and the celebration banquet that was in preparation also started on time.

When night fell, the salutes in the fortress began to roar at the same time, announcing the victory of the Bonaparte family to the world with thunderous roars. The soldiers got a good rest.

In the city hall where he lived, a celebration banquet was also being held at this time.

Compared with the "joy of the whole world" outside, the scope of people who are eligible to come to him to celebrate together is naturally much smaller - only senior officers who are mainly members of the Knights, and advisors around him are eligible to participate.

Of course, Teresa, who just came to Messolonghi, undoubtedly participated as the master.

At this time, the city hall, which had already suffered damage, had been completely repainted, and the officers all put on brand-new dresses and gathered together, and they all wore the knight order medals of various levels issued by Aigron himself on their chests. Majestic and heroic.

The same is true for Aigron himself. He is wearing a black military uniform designed by himself, with the only grand commander's medal of the Knights on his chest. He is handsome and full of majesty at the same time. No doubt, he has grown into a leader who says nothing.

Although they don't have an empire in their hands yet, after a period of tempering, they do have a little imperial temperament.

Candles were lit everywhere in the hall, so it was very bright everywhere, the tables by the walls were filled with all kinds of delicacies, and a group of musicians recruited from the surrounding areas played music-although they used harps and flutes, playing The music that comes out is very different from the music of those orchestras in Paris, but at the moment no one cares about that.

The medals worn by everyone gathered together, reflecting the candlelight, rendering the hall as jeweled, and the musicians and delicacies made the banquet look decent. Except that there were no ladies and ladies to help out, this scene was already the same as that of the imperial era. High society gatherings are not far behind.

Under the attention of the audience, Aigron and Teresa stood side by side and walked into the center.

In order to adapt to this occasion, Teresa naturally also dressed up carefully at this time. She was wearing a gorgeous palace dress, a corolla symbolizing victory on her head, and a blue ribbon on her chest. Holding the folding fan is like a noble lady attending a palace banquet.

Although at this time when all kinds of wastes are in full swing, the costumes and the large ruins outside the house are not in harmony, but who cares about this? Everyone only saw that Princess Teresa showed her due dignity and complemented their majesty.

Aigron and Teresa stood together, and then quietly listened to the roar of the salute outside the window. He didn't speak leisurely until the salute finally stopped.

"Everyone, I am very glad to be able to gather with you at the victory celebration banquet. Although we have paid too much effort and price along the way, no matter how we say it, we are the winners now, and we have put our opponents Stepped on our feet, so we have the right to celebrate for ourselves!

However, while celebrating, we must also keep in mind that it is because of our robes and the sacrifices of those unknown soldiers that we have won the victory with difficulty... Without them, we would not be where we are today, So let's toast to these war dead, these warriors first, and pay tribute to them! "

After speaking, he was the first to pick up the cup.

The originally relaxed atmosphere was swept away, and suddenly became dignified, even a little sad.

Since coming to Greece, Egron led his subordinates to carry out a series of battles. Although they won victories again and again, they also suffered a lot of casualties. A dozen officers who were members of the Knights were also killed.

If the death of the soldiers was just a loss of some "consumables" for Aigron and the officers, then the death of those colleagues made everyone present feel sad.

After all, these robes once met together on the island of Monte Cristo, and some of them became friends, and now they are living and dying.

People are not grass and trees. Even though we know that the death of people in war is inevitable, but when we think of Paozawa's death, we still can't help but feel sad.

However, they are all veterans of the battle now, so after a short period of sadness, they quickly regained their emotions.

After Aigron drank a glass of wine, he continued.

"Although I am with you all today, let us never forget that there is one of us who is not present, and he is my captain of guards, André Davout, an outstanding warrior among us. He has lived up to his name , has always guarded my safety with great loyalty, and at the same time fought our enemies with a bravery no less than anyone else! At this moment, he is still staying in Nafpaktos, guarding the rear for us, he Although he didn't participate in the fortress attack, he will always stand with us! Let's drink to Andre again!"

"Cheers!" There was another burst of enthusiastic responses, and everyone present raised their glasses high, toasting André Davout, who stayed behind dozens of kilometers away.

Everyone present knew that although André Davout was not the supreme commander, he was His Majesty's captain of the guard and favorite general, and one of the most trusted people around him, so no one would question that he got this treatment.

After drinking another glass, Eggron continued,

"Although today is a celebration banquet, we all know that our journey is not over yet, Greece is not yet independent, and we have not completely expelled the enemy, so we will face new challenges next, I hope everyone will not Depressed, you must serve me with your original courage and loyalty-don't forget, Greece is only the first stop of our journey. cheers!"

"Cheers to Paris!" his cry was echoed even more enthusiastically.

Yes, when Paris was mentioned, the people present couldn't help being excited.

This gorgeous and magnificent city is the place they dream of, and their empire can only be called an empire if it is established in Paris.

After this series of struggles, they won the victory and cultivated their confidence. At this time, they all believed that that day would definitely come.

With the help of Aigron's speech and the effect of alcohol, everyone in the hall was high-spirited and determined to succeed—and this was exactly what Aigron wanted to see.

He held this celebration banquet in order to wash away the exhaustion of everyone, so that they could devote themselves to the unfinished struggle as before.

Seeing that the atmosphere of the crowd had been mobilized, he looked at Teresa again, and nodded to her with a smile.

Of course Teresa understood, she knew that this was a chance for Aigron to show her performance, so she also picked up the wine glass from the side, and solemnly paid tribute to everyone present.

"Dear warriors." She glanced at the people around her with a grateful gaze, "I have stayed in Mesonei for this period of time, handling the rear matters for His Highness, so I regret that I was not there in person, Witness the glorious moment when the victory comes... However, although I have not witnessed your heroic appearance with my own eyes, I have already deeply felt the hardships you have endured and the sacrifices you made for the victory from your highness's letter... …I know all this and I will remember it, and I will remember each and every one of you!"

Teresa's eyes lingered on everyone's face for a while, as if she was looking at them and remembering everyone's appearance at the same time.

"... Your Highness and I, and even our future children and grandchildren, will be forever grateful for your sacrifices and sacrifices. What I regret the most is that we don't have many gifts to repay your loyalty, but if we return Come to Paris and rebuild the empire, then we will give you all the rewards you deserve, and support the empire with you, let us drink to this day!"

Princess Teresa's toast was warm and passionate, so everyone responded one after another.

"cheers!"

In this lively and cheerful atmosphere, Teresa focused her attention on other things.

For her, participating in such ritual activities is already a part of her life. She has been trained countless times since she was a child, and she will never make any mistakes.

Her eyes wandered among the crowd, on the one hand, to give her and His Highness's servants spiritual encouragement, but more importantly, she wanted to find Agnes.

She sent Chanel to invite Agnes before, and Chanel replied to her that Miss Agnes agreed to participate.

Sure enough, it didn't take long before she saw Agnes in the corner.

At this time, she was wearing women's clothing, but she was not dressed up, just wearing a simple skirt, standing in an inconspicuous corner, almost like a member of the musicians.

After she found Agnes, she immediately smiled and nodded to Agnes, and Agnes also noticed Her Highness's gaze, so she also nodded politely.

The two reunited after a long absence. They originally had a good impression of each other when they met for the first time, but unfortunately, the accident of fate cast dust on this impression.

For Teresa, of course, she wanted to wipe the dust off.

The reason she wanted to call Agnes to her was not to humiliate her, but to let her see clearly that the relationship between herself and His Highness was a certainty, and she hoped that she would retreat in spite of the difficulties.

In essence, she also respects Agnes, so if the turmoil can pass, she is willing to continue to regard Agnes as a friend.

Of course, if Agnes is unwilling to change, then the situation will be different—how can a young girl not feel angry when encountering such a thing?

For the sake of everyone's decency, and also in order not to quarrel with Eggron, Teresa consciously did not mention Agnes in front of him, as if everything had become history and had been forgotten by her.

However, this incident happened not long ago, how could she really forget it?

Just when she was about to call Agnes to her and have a good conversation with her, she suddenly found someone standing in front of Agnes.

——It was Eggron's cousin, Prince Charles.

what happened? Do they have friendship? Or is he also supportive? Teresa fell into doubt for a moment.

Then she glanced at Charlie.

Prince Charles, who has always been keen in mind, noticed this glance. Although it was only a brief glance, the icy coldness in it made Prince Charles feel a chill in his heart, and he couldn't speak for a while.

Logically speaking, with his insight and courage, he didn't need to be afraid of a mere Princess Teresa, but when Teresa came to Monte Cristo Island, there was a sudden attack and she investigated her account of selling gems. Grab your own "handle".

It was precisely because Teresa had a handle, so although he gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, he always felt a little guilty when facing Teresa.

But at this moment, he made up his mind and put this guilt aside.

"Miss Agnes..." He nodded with a smile and greeted Agnes.
