Eagle’s Glory

【Glory of the young eagle】 【】

【The LORD your God, bring you into the land he swore to your ancestors to give you. There are cities there, great and beautiful, which you did not build. 】

In the cold wind of early spring in March, Aigron, accompanied by his new wife, stood on the roof of his apartment in the port of Mesone, overlooking the sea in the distance.

Just last year, he landed here and came to the land of Greece, and now, his new journey will start from this place again.

Looking back on this year's experience, he couldn't help feeling a little overwhelmed.

He escaped from Vienna where he had been claustrophobic for more than ten years, came to the island of Monte Cristo, stole treasures, and finally relied on these treasures to attract supporters of the Bonaparte family, and then relied on them to march into Greece.

Although there were many twists and turns, he seized the opportunity at the time when he carefully cut in, created a great reputation, fished in complicated troubled waters, and finally established a small principality.

Although the nominal owner of this principality is not him, nor can it carry his ambitions and ambitions, it is enough to become a temporary foothold for him and his supporters.

They got a piece of territory they could freely dispose of, trained military officers, and reserved political talents to prepare for taking over a larger and wealthier country in the future.

Of course, that huge and rich country will not fly into the hands of Aegron by itself, and he still has a long way to go to achieve his goal.

—He is now ready to embark on a new journey.

And now, he is no longer alone, he already has a group of people accompanying him - there are guards, secretaries, and maids who take care of his daily life. Invisibly, he already has the pomp of a lord.

Of course, the most important thing is that he has a beautiful wife to accompany him.

Aigron's eyes moved slightly, and then fell on Teresa.

Since they were newly married for three months, they have tasted the sweet and greasy feeling of the newlyweds. Although they get along day and night, they still never get tired of each other. joyous.

At this time, Teresa still had traces of happiness on her face—it was precisely because her life was harmonious and happy that although Teresa did not change her usual agility and talent, she had a little bit of the charm of a little woman again. There are traces of happiness on his face from time to time, and he always smiles unconsciously.

Although the girl was haughty, she seemed content with her newlywed life after her long-cherished wish had been fulfilled.

Eggron was equally satisfied.

Teresa fully met and even exceeded all the requirements he had for his wife, so what is there to be dissatisfied with?

However, deep down in his heart, his greed to devour everything and possess everything has not been extinguished. When will this young man who is obviously happy enough but insatiable get restless again?

Aegron didn't know the answer to that question, and he didn't need to seek one.

This time their destination was not some remote place, but the most famous city in Europe and a holy place with a glorious history - the city of Rome.

During these three months, they first enjoyed the New Year celebrations in Athens to celebrate the arrival of peace; then they went to Ioannina to celebrate with their subordinates, and managed this small principality by the way; Depart from Methoni, head to the great and glorious city of Rome, and meet God's spokesperson in the world.

It was a step Aggron had planned in advance, and he had also channeled it through his uncle, Cardinal Joseph Fish.

And now,

The "nephew" of Cardinal Esposito, the Pope's confidant, also defected to Aigron's command as a private secretary. He has a closer relationship with his allies, so it becomes easier to dredge up relationships.

Now, everything is ready, he will visit Rome with his wife.

Of course, there is also a little regret - because Emperor Napoleon broke with the church and once detained the Pope, there is a very strong anti-Bonaparte faction in the Roman Church, even His Majesty the Pope cannot ignore their opinions, so Egron And Teresa can only visit in private.

But for Aigron, this is not a big problem. Anyway, he doesn't want to be in place in one breath, as long as he can make progress step by step, he will win.

With their identities, of course they don't need to pack their luggage by themselves. After receiving the order, Chanel has already taken care of everything, and everything is ready to go. Chanel himself will follow the newlyweds all the way , by the side of the attendant.

And their guide this time was Aigron's personal secretary, Leon Esposito.

As the illegitimate son of the cardinal, he should be an open secret among the top leaders of the Roman church. Aigron felt that if he was by his side, the Esposito cardinal church would do its best—at least the personal safety of the couple would be preserved. .

With the cardinal as the guarantor, even if there are any forces in the Roman Church who want to toss, they will weigh it.

In this way, after a period of secret negotiations, and Aigron has handled internal affairs, it is time for them to set off for Rome.

Thinking of Rome, both of them felt a little emotional.

The last time they went to Rome by coincidence in two months, although they took the opportunity to reunite and set a lifelong event, Rome became their blessed place; but from another perspective, Egron was still half a "fugitive" at that time. I don’t dare to reveal my identity to others, so I come and go in a hurry, and I don’t have time to visit this city full of glorious history—I just strolled around the villas of the ancient Roman emperors in the suburbs. Feeling a little unhappy.

And this time, it's time to make amends.

"His Majesty--"

As he was meditating, his secretary, Leon Esposito, walked up to him. "The boat is ready, just waiting for you to board and set off."

"Very good." Eggron nodded slightly.

Then, he walked to Theresa's side, and stretched out his hand to her tenderly, "Teresa, we are leaving."

"Yes." Teresa nodded, and then took her husband's hand very naturally.

Her eyes are full of affection, maybe at this moment, even if Aigron says to go to any corner of the world, she is willing to follow with all her heart.

After seeing this look, as usual, Eggron was captured again——

Because of this, he took the girl into his arms and kissed her tenderly, and Teresa responded to him without hesitation.

【Glory of the young eagle】 【】

So, Leon Esposito had to stand aside in embarrassment, lowering his head and trying not to look at the intimacy of his lord and his wife—this young couple can enjoy their love as much as they want, but if they look more, it will be a big deal. sorry.

Fortunately, his embarrassment didn't last long. Teresa left the rooftop first to make final preparations with Chanel, leaving only Aigron and his personal secretary to stay where they were.

Because of getting along with each other in recent months, Aigron has ended the other party's "investigation period" and accepted the other party as a member of his circle.

Leon Esposito cherishes this honor he has received very much. He is determined to dedicate all his resourcefulness and knowledge to serve the young lord in exchange for the realization of his dream.

In his opinion, although this young man is still weak at the moment, he and his group are already on the right track, and they can vaguely see the bright future.

Considering how many miracles he has accomplished thus far, is it any wonder that he will perform even greater miracles?

"Leon." Aigron called softly while watching the ships appearing in the harbor. "What's the news from Rome?"

"As far as my uncle's feedback is concerned, everything is still stable. Although many people complained about His Majesty's overly friendly attitude towards you, this kind of dissatisfaction did not appear in public doubts. His Majesty believes that, Although your father had some troubles with the church back then, the piety of your grandmother and uncle over the years was enough to wash away the stains of the Bonaparte family. What's more, as a young child, you didn't need to be responsible for these troubles at all. Therefore, in accordance with the teachings of Christian mercy and tolerance, the church should reconcile with you—”

Aigron didn't care much about the following clichés, what he cared about was one of the key words.

"My uncle?"

"Yes, your uncle, Lucien Bonaparte," replied Leon Esposito.

Aegron was slightly taken aback.

It seems that the relatives who speak for him in Rome are not just grandmother and uncle

Lucien Bonaparte is the third brother of Emperor Napoleon. During the era of the great revolution, he also became Napoleon's political assistant and assisted him in launching the Brumaire Coup. After the coup, he served as Minister of the Interior and stabilized Bonaparte with his brother. Ba family rule.

However, it didn't take long, because the two brothers had a fierce quarrel over Lucien's marriage, or Lucien couldn't stand his brother's domineering attitude towards him more and more, so he chose to break with Emperor Napoleon and gave up his gift of marriage. by his grace, and the family moved to Rome.

During the heyday of the empire, members of the Napoleon family ascended to heaven one by one, wearing crowns on their heads, but Lucien remained in Rome and was almost forgotten by the world; and in 1815, when Emperor Napoleon returned to France to prepare for a desperate fight However, Lucien rushed back to France, ready to fight the emperor to the end and regain the family crown.

It's a pity that the luck of the two brothers is gone this time. With the defeat of Napoleon's army in the Battle of Waterloo, the hope of the revival of the empire once again came to naught. Lucien originally wanted to persuade his brother to struggle again, but seeing that the situation was gone, he There was nothing he could do, but he fled France again and returned to Rome.

【Glory of the young eagle】 【】

After returning to Rome, he lived a hermit life again and was almost forgotten by the world, but unlike his elder brother Napoleon, he had a very good relationship with the church, so in 1814 he was named Prince of Canino by Pope Pius VII. In 1824 he was made Prince Musignano by Leo XII, and in short he was greatly respected.

Of course Aigron knew that his uncle's family lived in Rome, but he didn't take the initiative to contact Prince Lucien because he wasn't sure about the uncle's attitude before—but he didn't expect that his uncle was also in the Church of Rome. He speaks well.

It seems that no matter how much internal strife there is, family affection is still the bond that connects them after all.

"Your Majesty, do you want to see your uncle?" Leon Esposito had been watching his words, and seeing Aigron's complicated expression, he asked in a low voice.

"If it's possible, I can meet—" Eggron replied after hesitating for a moment, "However, this must first get his approval. After all, he is my uncle. If he doesn't like it, I won't force him to disturb him."

"You don't have to worry about this issue at all." Leon Esposito smiled, "His Royal Highness has been running for you in secret, it can be seen that he has placed a deep friendship on you, if you are willing to see him, he should It would be a pleasure—and my uncle thinks that our troubles will be lessened if His Royal Highness is involved."

"What do you mean?" Aegron asked suspiciously.

Leon Esposito is not in the habit of showing off in front of the lord at all, so he immediately replied, "Actually, my uncle has been having trouble arranging the meeting between you and the Pope, after all, you two are quite...Etiquette-oriented .”

Leon's words unconsciously carried a trace of grievance.

As a political figure, especially as a pretender to the throne, Egron certainly hoped to be appreciated by the Pope, but he was also unwilling to bow down to the Pope, and he would never even think about big gifts such as kneeling.

And the Pope also believes that since the Duke of Reichstedt claims to be a devout believer and has been using the church to gain fame, he should show enough "sincerity" after meeting the Pope—especially his father and In the case of historical stains, otherwise how to convince the public?

Just because both sides insisted on their positions, the two sides have argued several times over the issue of etiquette in the past three months, but there is still no result.

In everyone's eyes, Aigron is too stubborn and not as soft as usual, but Aigron doesn't want to make himself a dwarf in front of the church-if this impression is left on people now, it will be difficult to reverse it in the future It is difficult.

He only wanted to use the church as a tool, but he never thought about becoming a devout believer.

So he has to insist on etiquette, because etiquette sometimes doesn't matter at all, but sometimes etiquette is everything.

"So what does this question have to do with my uncle?" Aigron asked back.

"My uncle thinks that if His Royal Highness is involved, it can give you and the Pope a chance." Leon Esposito quickly explained, "If you get the Pope's public summons, then you and his Every action is in the eyes of everyone, and your every move will attract attention; and if you meet at the house of His Royal Highness, many problems may not be so important—”

【Glory of the young eagle】 【】

Eggron finally understood.

"I visited my uncle in private, and it just so happened that His Majesty the Pope also visited my uncle's house, and then we met by chance, and had a cordial and friendly exchange—" he summed up the meaning of the other party.

"If you don't mind that it's not grand enough..."

"No, I don't mind." Aegron patted his secretary on the shoulder to express his satisfaction. "So let's do it."

"Okay, Your Majesty." Leon Esposity nodded calmly.
