Eagle’s Glory

Eggron was overjoyed when Edmund Dantès brought Haidee back safely.

Right now, everything is ready, and all the conditions for him to realize his previous plan are ripe.

Haide was the only bloodline left alive by the former Ali Pasha of Ioannina, which means she was the one most qualified to lay claim to succession.

However, Haiidee is only 10 years old now, and she has already left her homeland, so there is no doubt that not many people in the local area will buy it.

But it doesn't matter to Aigron, because he played this banner just to march into Ioannina in a legitimate way.

According to the news he has received now, the army of the Russian Empire is like a broken bamboo, pouring down like a torrent that broke the dam, and is overwhelmingly pressing towards Constantinople.

The sharpness of the Tsar's soldiers is bad news for Aigron on the one hand, because the honor he has won so hard has begun to fade, and people will see that the Tsar is the one who gave the Sultan a fatal blow; On the one hand, this is also a good thing, because the Turks are now in a state of desperation, and they are already in a hurry just to deal with the Tsar, and they no longer have extra energy to manage themselves.

For the Sultan, if he had to choose between Greece and Constantinople, his choice must be the latter.

Therefore, this struggle has reached the second half, and the pressure Aigron faces has become extremely small. He can march forward with confidence and expand the results of the battle.

He wants to enter Ioannina, and then find a way to expand the occupied territory, which is very important to him.

He had never expected to compete for the throne after the independent founding of Greece, and according to the tacit agreement he reached with Metternich, he could not do so either.

Moreover, after the independence of Greece, he is destined to leave this place. In that case, his influence will inevitably fade a lot, so he needs to find a stable territory for his subordinates.

At this time, Ioannina is an excellent choice. First of all, this is a "land without owner", as long as you grab it in your hand, no one will fight for it; By being a puppet like Dai, he avoided the suspicions that arose from being the ruler himself.

In this way, with his order, his army began to regroup at Mesolonghi.

After this period of rest, the officers and soldiers have regained their physical strength and spirit, and are full of fighting spirit again, and the troops lost in the fierce battle before have gradually been filled up.

Aigron's next battle goal has been conveyed to every soldier through the officers, and they are all gearing up, full of confidence, and ready to follow His Majesty to win a new victory.

However, this time, Aigron does not plan to play the vanguard by himself.

Ioannina's defense is empty, he is not under great pressure, and he does not need to hold the line in person. He would rather stay in Messolonghi, where the news is smooth, so that he can contact all parties at any time, bargain, and prepare for the post-war layout .

He is going to let Michel Ney lead first, with Edmond Dantès and Isaac Valleolio accompanying him.

Isaac Valleolio is the captain of Ali Pasha's personal guard. He is definitely a well-known figure in the local area. As long as he steps into the land of Ioannina, he will publicize that Miss Haide has returned to Greece. , ready to restore the family business.

When the general situation is settled and the public opinion has matured, Egron will take Haide and the main force to enter Ioannina amid cheers as a conqueror, and then turn it into his own stronghold.

His overall plan had been well thought out, so he started to execute it immediately.

Soon, in accordance with his order, Michel Ney assembled a vanguard force under his personal command, with a number of nearly 3,000 people. They assembled outside the city of Messolonghi and were ready to march at any time.

Before they set off, Aigron held a brief departure ceremony.

Under the attention of the entire army, Aigron in military uniform walked up to the queue of officers,

Then he took off his hat and waved it to greet them.

"Warriors, I wish you all the best!"

Following his salute, the sound of salutes also rumbled, and the guard of honor also fired into the sky to cheer for the advance army.

Aigron walked past the officers, greeted them one by one, and finally came to the Count of Monte Cristo.

"Edmond... I'm so sorry, I called you everywhere, but I didn't let you rest for a few days." He smiled and said to Edmund Dantès, "I just let you finish running in Istanbul, and I'm going to send you to about Anina is gone."

"Your Majesty, since this is my idea, then I should find a way to realize it." Edmund Dantès replied generously, "Besides, the tasks you have entrusted to me are based on your trust in me. Can't live up to it”

"If everyone here was as loyal and resourceful as you are, would our cause have anything to worry about?" said Aigron, deeply moved.

Then, he beckoned, and took a knight order medal from the guard next to him, and hung it on Edmond Dantès' chest.

"This is in recognition of your previous achievements, and you deserve it." Aigron made a gesture, signaling Edmund Dantès not to be humble or refuse, "I even think that it is really not enough to reward you... ...So, when this task is completed, I will award you a higher honor, so that it is worthy of your outstanding contribution to us. Edmund...You have a share in my career, and I will always Remember that fact."

Egron is not just talking about it. In fact, he has already decided that after Ioannina is pacified, he will officially announce that the Count of Monte Cristo is the nominal guardian of the Grand Duchess Ioannina, and then he will be the guardian of the Grand Duchess in the name of Haidee. He awarded a small fiefdom in the future duchy, so that his title of knighthood would be worthy of the name.

In his hands, this once little sailor will become a real nobleman, a great man whose name will go down in history.

In terms of rewards, he has always been willing to spend money, because he knows that loyalty is the most precious and scarce commodity, and it must be rewarded as it should be.

Edmund Dantès was both joyful and ashamed, and was speechless for a while.

For the young man in front of him, he has both the grace of saving his life and the grace of knowing him, so how can he not repay it wholeheartedly?

"Your Majesty, your reputation will definitely shock the whole of Ioannina. If anyone resists your will, we will eradicate him!" He replied tremblingly, "I am there, waiting for your presence!"

"It's not just Ioannina." Aegron raised his hand and pointed to the sky, "My reputation will be spread everywhere the sky covers in the future."

Edmund Dantès couldn't help but nodded emphatically. "It is inevitable, Your Majesty!"

Then, he changed the subject again, "Your Majesty, please treat Haidée kindly, she is pitiful enough..."

"Why, have you already started to perform your duties before I officially appointed you as her guardian?" Aigron asked back with a smile, "Don't worry, she means a lot to us, and I don't want her to make any mistakes .As long as she is willing to obey and cooperate with us obediently, then she can have everything except power and live a happy and worry-free life."

Edmund Dantès was relieved, and said goodbye to Aigron.

In this way, under the watchful eye of Aigron, the advance team began to march towards Ioannina, and the Count of Monte Cristo also went on an expedition with the army to open up a new living space for His Majesty.

At this time, in the city of Messolonghi, Teresa has been watching the actions of the distant army.

As Egron's closest person, she certainly knows all the details of His Highness' plan.

She knew even more that the most important part of this plan was sitting next to her.

She turned her gaze back, and then looked at the young girl sitting beside her.

At this time, Haidee was looking at the French alphabet on the table in a daze, and beside her was a small plate, and the snacks in the plate had been eaten by her.

Teresa smiled, then picked up the alphabet again, and then again, read out to Haidee one by one, and then urged Haidee to read it after herself.

Haiidee obediently read along with her, but some syllables were obviously inaccurate, and Teresa was not in a hurry, she still corrected her patiently, and followed her tirelessly.

She is now going to teach Haidée French so that she can have a free conversation with His Royal Highness and others in the future. There is no difficulty.

In Teresa's capacity, this is really a bit wronged, it means that she took the initiative to do the tutor's work.

It stands to reason that she is not the only one who can do this. She can find another professional tutor for Haiidee, but Teresa has worked tirelessly to ask Eggron to marry Haiidee herself, turning her into her "" student".

On the one hand, this is out of pity for Haiidee, she wants to let Haiidee feel a little warmth in the world; on the other hand, it is also to let her pass the time by herself.

But the more important reason is... She hopes to leave an indelible influence on Haidee's heart, and then turn Haidee into her own good friend

Or the same party.

That's right, she just wants to expand her power and prestige.

After the previous confrontation, she has already seen that the French people around His Highness, although on the surface they respect her very much because of Aigron's order, but in their hearts, they still regard themselves as "outsiders." ".

She knew that this was a fact, and every foreign queen who was married to France in history would be treated this way, but she still felt aggrieved by it.

For His Highness, she has paid so much, it can be said to be sincere, but in the end, this group of people didn't appreciate it at all, and kept her out intentionally or unintentionally.

It's just that they don't appreciate it, and they deliberately promoted Agnes to embarrass themselves!

At the celebration banquet that night, she had already noticed that some people were deliberately carrying Agnes to fight against her, and even deliberately watched her jokes.

How shameless and rebellious this is... That is to say, Teresa has cultivated herself well, so she didn't get angry enough to lose her composure.

Although she had seen clearly in her heart, she didn't make a big scene on the spot, because it was not only disgraceful, but also meaningless, and would only increase everyone's antipathy towards her.

Besides, she didn't want to spoil the fun when everyone was happy.

So she could only choose to pretend not to notice, and treat Agnes with courtesy, minimized the impact of the incident, and did not make any jokes.

Fortunately, Miss Agnes didn't seem to know about this conspiracy, and she chose to back down very friendly, so that what Teresa was most worried about did not happen, but Teresa's anger did not dissipate.

In her opinion, whoever tries to alienate her relationship with His Highness is an unforgivable sinner.

She has already made up her mind, and she must give this group of people a little color in the future.

And if he turned a deaf ear to such an obvious threat, wouldn't he be at the mercy of others in the future?

She loves His Highness and is willing to sacrifice for His Highness, but this does not mean that she is willing to be manipulated by a group of villains because she is proud in her heart, she absolutely cannot bear this.

Since you can't get their respect and love no matter what, let them be speechless.

If you want to achieve your goal, it is not enough to just say harsh words, you need to take practical actions.

She buried everything in her heart, and then quietly began to act.

If she was an ordinary girl, she might still be at a loss and be at a loss now, but after all, she is a princess of the royal family. She has been exposed to it all year round, and her clever mind makes her almost self-taught.

Moreover, she has always been a stubborn and executive person. Once she makes up her mind, this seemingly innocent girl can burst out with energy that even her parents are amazed by that seemingly petite body.

To expand their influence, they first need someone to help them, and Haiidee happened to be such a gift from heaven.

The future Grand Duchess of Ioannina respected her now, and she was happy to make Haidee her friend.

In this way, Teresa taught Haiide tirelessly with a gentle smile, and Haiide also studied seriously, and the two of them completely forgot the passage of time.

Unknowingly, Chanel came in with a plate and coffee.

"Your Highness, you have been talking for a long time. You should be tired now, right? Let's take a rest first?" She suggested to Teresa with a smile.

"Thank you, Chanel." Teresa stopped her lecture, took a sip of coffee, and moistened her thirsty throat.

She didn't know how deeply Chanel was involved in that matter, and she didn't know how much she had deceived herself, but judging from her performance that night, she was obviously more inclined to Agnes between herself and Agnes Silk.

However, the time they spend together is not short, and she also has some feelings for Chanel.

And she also believed that Chanel would never intentionally try to run on her, and that the other party's thoughts were only loyal to His Highness.

From this standpoint, the two are standing together.

So she didn't have much hidden hostility towards Chanel.

"You should also take a break, Chanel, how about we drink coffee together and give her a lecture later?" She suggested with a smile.
