Eagle’s Glory
Fourteen, Curse and Tenderness
【Glory of the young eagle】 【】
"You are a happy father."
Earl Nepeg didn't notice the coldness in Aigron's eyes. On the contrary, because Aigron rarely praised him, he was very happy and even a little complacent.
"Yes, I think so too." Earl Nepeg smiled slightly, "My talent is mediocre, my character is vulgar, and I was not worthy of God's love at all. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to be with Louisa, and only her To give birth to such a lovely child for me, so that my life will be full of glory from now on...Although life is short, but I am proud of how lucky I am, Luisa and the children are the meaning of my life."
Aigron silently listened to his "stepfather" showing affection in front of him. Although he was impatient, he didn't want to pour cold water on others out of etiquette.
But the more he heard it, the more he felt something was wrong, because there was a sense of bleakness in the earl's words, and he really didn't look like a middle-aged man who was completely immersed in happiness.
It seemed that what had really happened was clear—he was even more firm in his judgment just now.
While he was thinking, Earl Nepeg signaled the two children to get closer and came to him and Teresa.
The two children kept silently sizing up their elder brother and sister-in-law, not daring to show their air, looking respectful.
In all fairness, they are all good-looking, well-educated in etiquette and manners, but they are not annoying.
"What a lovely child." Seeing these two well-dressed children, Teresa couldn't help stopping her lunch, then stood up, and gently stroked their cheeks.
Then, from the purse embroidered with gold thread that she was carrying, she took out the gift she had prepared for them a long time ago—William got a small commemorative medal specially made by Aigron and Teresa for the Greek War of Independence, And Ambient got a jewel brooch.
"Children, this is a gift that your brother and I chose for you." She smiled and delivered the gift to their hands, "I hope you will like it."
Both children thanked her and Aigron simultaneously. "Thank you, I like it very much."
At this time, William took the initiative to speak to Aigron, his expression was a little excited, as if he was looking up at some important person, "Your Highness, I have heard about your deeds. My father and I have been watching the news recently, and then marked it on the map. Where you are, I am sincerely proud of your victory over the heretics... I never thought that one day you would stand in front of me!"
"You're flattering, William." Eggron replied calmly, "I just try my best to do what I should do, and I have nothing to brag about."
"But what you have done is beyond the reach of ordinary people and even dare not imagine..." William was still a little excited, and blurted out, "My father said, you will definitely be a great hero, and you will definitely have great achievements in the future." Achievement, just like... just like your father. So I admire and admire you."
These words made Aegron stunned for a moment.
Judging from William's expression, he should be telling the truth. It seems that during this year, Earl Nepeg said a lot of good things about himself to his children in private?

Everyone loves to hear good words, so Aigron's mood suddenly became a little better.
Although he was full of resentment towards his mother, and he was ridiculed constantly when they met today, but he was not interested in venting his anger with the two children.
"Unfortunately, I have nothing to admire. You can see now that I am not a monster, but a mortal who is only a few years older than you." He said to them gently,
"The few achievements I have made are the result of my subordinates' loyal dedication and bloody fighting. All I can do is to live up to their sacrifices and move forward."
The children half understood Aigron's high-end outfits, but they were instinctively relieved when they saw that Aigron was not putting on airs, and thus became psychologically closer to this "brother".
Now that the topic has started, Aigron didn't want to make it too embarrassing, so he politely asked about the education they are receiving now.
"Mom and Dad usually call me Amber, and you can call me that too." When he asked, the little girl whispered.
Then, she answered the question earnestly, "I have received education in several languages, and I also need to study vocal music and art. If I want to write some short essays for my parents to taste every weekend, so will William."
Aigron could feel that, like William, she treated her with respect and even some traces of trying to please her.
Eggron looked at her again.
She is not tall and has a slender figure, just like Teresa. Her chestnut hair is combed in curls at the temples, which makes her look less childish and more adult-like, and from her delicate facial features Among them, one could vaguely see Aigron's childhood features—after all, he was a child born to the same mother.
Although it is difficult to agree with her as his "sister" in the heart, but he does not slap the smiling face. Since she has already put on such a good posture, Aigron has no interest in embarrassing a group of people by throwing her face.
"It looks like we have another lovely little princess here." So, he complimented at the right time. "Teresa should be familiar with the education you received, maybe she can give you some pointers?"
He just said casually, but the speaker didn't care and the listener was interested. Louisa and Prince Nepeg looked at each other.
"That's right, Amber, why don't you show Princess Teresa your painting? I heard she's very good at it—"
Tereza nodded cheerfully, then realized with surprise that this was Luisa trying to politely dismiss herself.
So she hesitated a little.
She wasn't worried that after Aigron was left alone, Louisa would have some conspiracy against her husband, but she was worried that what would happen if they had a big fight without herself?
"It's almost time. I'll take William to practice marksmanship." Earl Nepeg suddenly spoke.
It seemed that the couple had made up their minds to leave the mother and son alone to talk, and Teresa understood it instantly.
She couldn't make up her mind, so she glanced at Aigron with a little worry, but Aigron still looked calm and made a gesture for her to go out first.

That's right, the mother-child problem should be solved by the mother and son, Teresa sighed inwardly.
"Aigron, good afternoon." She kissed her husband on the cheek, as if implying him to control his temper, and then Ambrose led her to his bedroom to admire his practice paintings.
The servants cleared the tables and left one after another. Soon, there were only mother and child left in the huge dining room.
Louisa sat next to a coffee table by the window, and motioned for Aigron to sit beside her, "My son, don't you mind wasting some time after lunch for me?"
"Of course I don't mind." Eggron replied coldly, "I've already wasted a lot, so I don't care about more."
"You really..." Luisa smiled wryly, but she didn't want to argue with her son anymore.
Aigron sat beside her, and then the mother and son sat side by side by the bed, admiring the garden outside the window.
The room suddenly fell into silence, accompanied only by the sound of soft and gentle breathing.
Those carefully cultivated and precious flowers in the garden are just about to bloom in spring. Luisa quietly looked at these colorful flowers, and after a long time, she sighed a long time.
"Look, there are so many things there, but... the good times don't last long!"
Before Eggron could ask, she turned her head to look at her son, and then her expression became serious, "Do you remember the deal we mentioned when we were at Schönbrunn Palace?"
Of course Aigron remembered—at that time, Luisa told herself that she was trying to match Princess Teresa for her son, not because she wanted to help unconditionally, but because she hoped that Aigron could take care of her when she was in the palace in the future. My own half-siblings.
"I remember this transaction, but I think the prerequisites for the transaction are gone." Aigron hesitated for a moment, and then answered in a low voice, "My marriage with Teresa was once on the verge of falling through, and we insisted on it later. It took unremitting efforts to get back on track, and you did not contribute to this, so this is not what you earned for me, but what I worked hard to get, and I don’t think I owe you anything.”
"Your argument is really sharp and severe." Seeing that Aegron was so tit-for-tat, Louisa said helplessly.
"That's probably because I dare not admit your love—" Eggron replied with a slight smile.
Undoubtedly, although things have twists and turns, logically speaking, Louisa tried to find a way to match him and Teresa with Grand Duke Karl at the beginning, which did help him objectively. She was forced to lower her figure in front of her mother.
It was obvious to him that the Louisas had something for him.
If he succumbs now, then it will be difficult for him to evade Luisa's request later - he has no interest in being a foolish and filial son, and it is impossible for Luisa to agree to whatever request he makes.
Luisa's nose suddenly felt a little sour after being repeatedly sneered at by Aigron. "Are you so stubborn that you don't want to be a little more polite to me?"
"I have always been very polite to you, ma'am." Aigron frowned, and then replied, "Your loyal Franz has always been very respectful to you."

【Glory of the young eagle】 【】
"Okay, give me a hug," interrupted Luisa, "show me how respectful you are?"
Aegron froze.
"Why?" he blurted out.
This reaction caused Madam's heart to sting again.
But she has no time to fight with her son anymore.
"You followed Albert all the way, did you notice anything?" She asked softly.
Albert naturally refers to her husband, Earl Nepeg.
"I feel that his physical condition is not particularly good recently." Aigron replied cautiously, "and his expression is quite worried."
"You are really good at observing words and feelings..." Luisa half closed her eyes, "Yeah, he has been in poor health recently, and according to the doctor, this is a serious chronic disease, maybe... it will get worse in the future. It's getting worse, maybe, maybe within a year or two, I'm going to lose him."
The more she talked, the more trembling her voice became. Obviously, this news was a huge blow to her.
Aegron hesitated for a moment, and he didn't know what to say.
Logically speaking, he should be happy that this "stepfather" is dying of illness, but he just feels a little dazed.
To put it bluntly, he never took the earl seriously, and naturally he couldn't be considered an enemy. Subconsciously, he thought that the earl didn't deserve his hatred at all-so naturally he had no interest in cursing the earl to die quickly.
"I...I'm sorry." In the end, he could only reply so politely, "Does the count himself know?"
"He knows." Luisa smiled wryly, "In fact, he is quite open-minded. He always said that he was lucky to not die in the hail of bullets back then. The life he picked up can live for so long and start a family with me. That's enough...but the more I say that, the more I feel sorry for him."
"People always have to face the reality. Look at it a bit more. You see, my grandfather has been married three times. As a daughter, you can follow suit. Maybe you can find a more suitable candidate—" Aegron replied subconsciously.
The reason why he said this is because he remembered that in history, after the death of Earl Nepeg, Louisa was widowed for a few years, and then she did get married again. As for the marriage partner of that time, he has forgotten—anyway No one of importance, and no children from the third marriage.
Just because he knew that there would be a third marriage, he subconsciously ignored it and said so casually. After all, when he faced his mother, he couldn't help but be sarcastic.
But he realized at this time that this is "happening in the future", that is to say, from the perspective of this moment, he is actually saying to a worried wife, "It's okay, your husband is dead Find another man to marry in the future."
It was a bit too much, beyond the realm of sarcasm, and more like a vicious curse - so much so that he himself immediately felt that it was too much.
In particular, Louisa clearly had feelings for the Earl of Nepeg—as evidenced by the fact that she only remarried after being a widow for several years.
Sure enough, the expression on the mother's face suddenly froze, and then she stared at him with wide eyes angrily, as if her eyes could burn the son's soul; at the same time, her hands were trembling, as if she couldn't bear it. I can't help but give him a slap in the face.

Even Aigron knew that he was very sorry for saying this-even if they only hurt each other after years of resentment, Aigron felt that he should abide by some bottom lines.
"Sorry, Mom." Apologizing, he blurted out, "I...I..."
He didn't know how to word it, and in the end he could only look at his mother with apologetic eyes.
"Sorry, I lost my word."
This is the first time he said sorry to his mother.
To his surprise, the mother's storm did not fall on him, and the raging anger slowly disappeared after he apologized.
"So can you give me a hug?" In the huge hall, a faint question was recalled.
The voice is weak, full of fear and confusion about the future, and this is the first time Aigron saw this in his mother—maybe she escaped from Vienna in this way in 1805; maybe in 1814, she also Escape from Paris in this form.
He got it.
"It's my honor, Mom." He hugged his mother with a little sympathy, "You have faced many hardships in life, and you can still get through this time, just like before."
He comforted his mother tenderly—even though it was not from the love of mother and child, but from the warmth of a man for a woman.
