Eagle’s Glory

Even Aigron himself couldn't express his feelings when he left Her Highness the Princess.

Being able to hug her twice, of course, was an unparalleled comfortable experience, but His Highness's words before parting made him feel heavy.

How much does Her Royal Highness know about her plot? Is it a vague premonition, or a tacit understanding? At least she was never fooled by her acting skills, thinking that she could not be satisfied with living in seclusion in this palace as a wealthy prisoner.

But no matter how much she knew, anyway, she never reported on herself, but made every effort to satisfy her wish, hoping to influence herself and let herself stay by her side willingly.

He was so moved by this intention that he felt a little guilty.

But no matter how moved and guilty he is, his plan will not change.

This is also the price that must be paid for victory.

With this unrepentant certainty he returned to his lodgings, when he found his guardian, Count Dietrichstein, waiting for him.

"Your Highness, you are finally back." Upon seeing Aigron, the count greeted him solemnly as usual.

"Is there anything to explain, sir?" he asked.

When he was young, the guardian appointed by His Majesty the Emperor almost never left his side, but although he grew older, the Earl was gradually withdrawing from his life, maybe he would be free before himself .

"The thing you entrusted to me last time, after a lot of fighting, finally got an ideal result." The earl replied in a low voice, "Prime Minister Metternich agreed to suspend your enlistment."

Before, he had asked the earl to fight for an extension of his enlistment, and the earl agreed to his request after some consideration.

It seems that he did not promise empty words, but did it seriously.

"Thank you for your help." He quickly thanked the other party.

However, the Earl just shook his head, not showing much relief.

"You don't have to thank me. I don't have the right to decide this matter. I just conveyed your request for you. The final decision is made by the Prime Minister. In addition, he did not meet your request unconditionally."

"Then what does he ask of me?" Aegron asked back.

"In a few days, September 5th will be Grand Duke Karl's 55th birthday, and His Majesty will hold a large banquet for him." The count replied calmly, "His eldest daughter, Princess Teresa, will also be here for the first time. Stepping into the social world, His Majesty, like her father, hopes to honor Her Royal Highness with grand ceremonies."

Aegron probably understood something.

"Do you want me to curry favor with Her Majesty Teresa?"

"Indeed." The count nodded. "In detail, you danced the first two dances with her. I hope you can show a good enough performance. After all, the debut is of great significance to Princess Teresa... …she will definitely want to make good memories."

"This is a daunting task! If I screw up His Majesty's coming-of-age ceremony, what terrible consequences should I suffer? Even Grand Duke Karl can't spare me." Aigron couldn't help laughing,

"So you should show your due seriousness and deal with this task well." When the earl said this, his serious expression couldn't help but loosen, and he looked at the young man with a half-smile, " Objectively speaking, this is a very enviable job-at least the young people who will be there will hate you."

"I didn't expect that he would put forward such a condition." Aigron couldn't help shrugging, "It's really strange. Metternich seems to be more anxious than me about my life-long event!"

"Elders have been more anxious than children since ancient times." The earl corrected Aigron, and then lowered his voice, "Your Highness, I admit that this is a very obvious political consideration.

Not out of concern for you. But there are two sides to everything, and you won't lose anything by complying with his request, and it may even be very beneficial to you, isn't it? "

The truth is true, no matter what Metternich's plan is, at least in this matter, he is not completely a victim. Egron did not contradict this request. He had made up his mind a long time ago, even if it was false, he would first get involved with Grand Duke Karl.

In addition, Teresa does not seem to be a willful and arrogant person, even if she makes friends temporarily, there will be no loss.

And he doesn't seem to have any capital to refuse now. After all, Metternich has just made a rare concession to himself, and he will not be so easy to talk to if he is not sensible.

"Then tell Metternich, I'm flattered." After making up his mind, he solemnly agreed to the count, "Thanks to Grand Duke Karl and Princess Teresa for giving me the opportunity, I will try my best to complete this glorious work." task."

"Your Highness, I congratulate you for making the right decision." Seeing that the young man is so upbeat, the Earl couldn't help being happy, "Although there are not many days left to accompany you, our relationship over the years is bound to It will also be a memory I will never forget. Admittedly, you have had a difficult time, but I think God will love you after all, and I sincerely hope that in the remaining days I spend with you, I can see you turn around, and Turn it over and have a bright future."

I do have a bright future, but not here—Aggron replied in his heart.

"I also wish you all the best in the future, and if I really get lucky in the future, I will also repay you for taking care of me." He greeted the other party cordially.

Although this guardian was quite strict with himself when he was a child, at least he treated himself sincerely, so he still had some respect in his heart.

As for him monitoring himself, that's his responsibility, so what's so strange about it?

After finishing speaking, Aigron originally planned to return to his bedroom, but he found that the Earl didn't seem to have left.

"Sir, do you have anything else to say?" He was a little surprised.

"There is one more thing, although it is not very important, but I still want to mention it to you." The count looked a little embarrassed. "This time it's not official, it's purely private."

"Please tell me." Eggron nodded.

"You seem to have forgotten one thing." The count cleared his throat, "When you were injured, Her Royal Highness Sophie sent her maid to take care of you. It is undeniable that she took care of you very carefully. With her help, you were able to reply so quickly. I am very grateful for her contribution. However... your injury has fully healed now, so there is no reason for her to stay by your side, or send her back Bar?"

What? !

Aegron was shocked and angry at once.

Chanel is the first reliable follower he found here, and also an indispensable helper, how could he retreat at this time?

Seeing his expression, the count seemed to have guessed something.

"You...you are reluctant?"

"Yes, I can't bear it. I don't want her to leave for the time being." Aigron replied immediately, "Actually, I'm used to her meticulous care. If I don't have her now, I think I will be very sad..."

"Really? Meticulous attention to detail?" The earl smiled knowingly, "Well, I think you are at this age, even if you want to taste that feeling, there is nothing inappropriate, I can understand it."

Seeing the earl's strange and ambiguous smile, Aigron was a little dumbfounded.

However, even if he came up with such a guess, it didn't seem strange.

Rather, I often stay with Chanel, and Chanel is so docile and considerate, in the eyes of others, there must be similar guesses.

"But...don't forget, she's just a maid, and she's so humble that even being compared with you will hurt your dignity, even for Her Royal Highness Teresa." While he was still thinking, the count continued He continued, "Since you are planning to make friends with His Highness Teresa, it is best to deal with this little matter before then, so as to avoid some unexpected situations that would embarrass Your Highness."

Like His Royal Highness Sophie, the Earl was quite contemptuous when he mentioned Chanel. This was not intentional, but a kind of common sense that seemed to be a matter of course—after all, the feudal hierarchy has not completely disappeared in this era, even if the Great Revolution originated Isn't France in the land still ruled by kings and nobles?

Although he knew that the earl was planning for himself, Aigron suddenly felt a little upset for Chanel.

This is his first follower, and he is so loyal and reliable, how can he be so underestimated?

One day she will become a duchess, jumping on the heads of most people, and see how you despise her then.

"I see, your suggestion is indeed reasonable." He agreed vaguely, "If one day Princess Teresa and I really come to that step, then I will send Chanel away at that time. It will end in this way, and it will not cause any trouble to Her Royal Highness. As for it, it is still too early, and everything has not started yet, so there is no need to be so courteous, right?"

He knew in his heart that his promise was tantamount to no promise at all, after all, he was just using Teresa as a cover.

He can write as many blank checks as he wants.

The count pondered for a moment, and finally nodded helplessly.

"Since you think so, let's do it first, but I suggest you not to be too nice to her, or she may have unreasonable thoughts, and it will be troublesome to dismiss it at that time. In addition, I hope you will be more restrained, after all Although you are young, you still have a lot of schedule..."

Eggron resisted the embarrassment, and agreed indifferently, "Don't worry, I will."

"Okay, then I won't disturb you." The count finally bowed and left this time.

After seeing off the count, Aigron walked back to his room and finally saw Chanel again.

"Your Highness!" Upon seeing Aigron, Chanel quickly put down what she was doing and saluted him respectfully.

"Chanel, just now my guardian suggested that I send you back." Aigron didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the point.

"What?" Chanel was frightened and at a loss.

"Don't panic, it's okay, I've dealt with him." Aigron made a gesture to signal her to calm down, "No one will force me to send you back, and I will never let you go. Are you An absolutely indispensable helper by my side."

"Your Highness...you are so kind to me." Chanel was quite moved after hearing his words.

"However, the Earl's words also reminded me of a risk." Aigron fell into deep thought, "Other people make similar requests, and I can perfunctory them. If Her Highness Sophie makes it, I will really have a hard time... "

After all, His Royal Highness Sophie is Chanel's "original owner". She sent Chanel here just to heal her injuries. If one day she remembered that Chanel's mission had been completed and casually asked Chanel to come back, that would be quite tricky.

Although His Highness hasn't thought about it yet, everything must be taken precautions, so as not to be caught off guard when something really happens.

"Otherwise, I will pretend that I am too hard to hold the pen when I practice swords, and you can take notes for me. Then I insist that this is a habit, and I will be exhausted without your notes-in this way, you will not be able to If you are missing, Her Royal Highness Sophie should not transfer you soon." After thinking for a while, Aigron came up with an idea, "I will dictate, and you will take notes, can you do it?"

"Your Highness, I have no similar experience, and my education is average." Chanel looked at the young man firmly, "But... if it is your order, I will definitely do it. I will do it with all my might! "

Well, it seems that fanaticism is also beneficial, at least it can bring motivation to learn. Agron thought.

"Okay, I believe you." He looked at Chanel with a smile on his face, "We can practice as soon as possible."
