Eagle’s Glory

【The Glory of the Young Eagle】 【】

After the grand celebration banquet, Agron and Theresa continued to stay in Nymphenburg Palace as guests, enjoying the warm hospitality of the Bavarians.

After resting for a few days, according to the original plan, Aigron made a request to King Ludwig to visit his adopted sister-in-law, Princess Auguste, the widow of Prince Eugene, and the king was happy to do so as promised. accepted.

In accordance with due etiquette, the king sent a messenger to Leuchtenburg Palace, where his sister lived, to seek the princess's opinion.

The messenger soon received a reply from the princess - she was very happy that the King of Rome could come to visit her, and she was very happy to receive this adopted brother in the name of her husband.

So, after receiving such positive feedback, Aigron no longer hesitated. He and Theresa said goodbye to the king for the time being, and then, led by the palace attendants, the group came to Leuchtenburg Palace in Munich. .

As promised, he was immediately received warmly by his adopted sister-in-law, Princess Auguste.

He, Theresa and Chanel were brought into the living room, and at this time, Princess Auguste herself and her children welcomed the young man's arrival.

As we all know, Prince Eugene and Aiglon are brothers in name, but their age gap is quite large - a full 30 years apart. Naturally, although his wife is said to be a "sister-in-law", she is now 40 years old. , even three years older than Aigron's mother Louisa, so standing in front of Aigron was an elegant and gentle lady.

Because she was already a widow, she only wore a light brown skirt and a tulle hat on her head. She did not decorate herself too much except for pearl earrings. The years left some marks on her face. , but it also makes her temperament appear more gentle and demure.

As soon as she saw Aiglon, she gently bent her knees towards him, "I'm glad to have the opportunity to see you again, His Majesty the King of Rome."

For political reasons, her brother King Ludwig had to take some taboo measures in calling Aigron, but Princess August didn't have so many scruples and directly addressed the young man in front of her as King of Rome - —And this also made Aigron feel like he was in another world.

Princess Auguste calls herself this, which shows that she places herself in a very high position in her heart. It also reflects how Prince Eugene viewed himself after the empire collapsed and she was imprisoned.

Even though they were just prisoners, the couple still regarded the child as the King of Rome.

Think about it carefully. Emperor Napoleon divorced his former Queen Josephine in order to marry Princess Louisa. However, his love for Prince Eugène has not changed. He has always entrusted him with important responsibilities, and Prince Eugène has always been there. He served his adoptive father wholeheartedly and participated in many wars. Although he did not choose to fight with the emperor in 1815, but stayed in Bavaria with his wife and children to live in seclusion, no one can blame Prince Eugène anymore.

Although this adopted brother's surname is De Beauharnais and not Bonaparte, he is much more reliable than other members of the family. If he is still alive at this time, he should be able to help me a lot...

Alas, this man has passed away, and there is no point in thinking about it anymore. May he rest in peace in heaven.

He quickly put aside his distracting thoughts, walked up to Princess August, and gently kissed the back of her hand.

"Nice to meet you, Your Highness. You don't have to call me as you just did, because I don't deserve this glorious title now... Moreover, in front of you, I am not a prince, just your junior,

If you don't mind, just call me Aigron. This is the nickname my father gave me. You can use it as a family member and elder. "

Princess Auguste was both surprised and a little happy when Agron reacted like this. She carefully looked at the young man standing in front of her proudly again, "Everyone said that you are a proud, stubborn and talented young man. Now you are a proud, stubborn and talented young man. The rumors are still somewhat distorted, it’s good that you are talented, but you are quite humble.”

"Don't get me wrong, I'm quite proud of others." Aigron replied with a smile, "It's just that I don't have the right to be proud in front of you. After all, you, as a family member, saw me as an infant -"

"Hahaha, that's true..." Princess August laughed dumbfounded.

After laughing for a moment, she said with some emotion, "Since that unfortunate year, our family has been living here in seclusion. I didn't expect that time flies by so fast... The baby who was still crawling in front of me back then is now... You have come to visit me as a hero! And you are so cute... Aigron, you are indeed a child blessed by God."

Since ancient times, ladies have loved to be pretty. Aigron was good-looking and well-spoken. In addition, the two families had a very close relationship, so he easily won the favor of his adopted sister-in-law.

Smiling, the lady expressed the same emotion as Aigron just now, "Hey, it's a pity that my husband has passed away. Otherwise, if he could sit here and see with his own eyes what you are like now and listen to your statement Deeds, how happy that would be for him! After he went into seclusion, after his sister Queen Ortense, the person he was most worried about was you. He had been worried about what would happen to you when you were isolated in the palace. As a result, But I didn't expect that I would take a step first..."

Speaking of this, the madam felt sad again, and couldn't go on talking anymore, and took a handkerchief to wipe away her tears.

Seeing her crying sadly, Aigron couldn't help feeling a little sad. "Madam, please be sorry, some things cannot be changed after all..."

He did not doubt the authenticity of the princess's words. After all, Prince Eugene and he had no conflict of interest, only a mixture of friendship between brothers and elders and juniors.

The sons of the royal family always hated each other for inheritance rights, but Prince Eugene, as the adopted son, was deeply trusted and reused, and was even appointed by Napoleon as the governor of Italy, ruling the Kingdom of Italy on his behalf - but under the influence of Emperor Napoleon, who had a deep sense of family values. It seems that he is still a foreigner after all, and his throne can only be passed on to the next generation of the Bonaparte family.

At first, he had no legitimate son of his own, so he placed his hopes of becoming crown prince on the sons of his younger brother Louis. Until later, after he married Louisa and gave birth to the King of Rome, the heir to the empire was no longer in dispute— —From the beginning to the end, he never considered letting Eugene inherit the empire.

So Eugene didn't need to mind the birth of the Roman king at all - he didn't lose anything because of it.

But now, the empire itself has disappeared, and Prince Eugene himself has passed away. The "battle for the reserve" that did not exist in the first place is naturally a thing of the past.

Since he began to live in seclusion in Bavaria in 1814, Prince Eugene no longer participated in any major events. Instead, he focused his energy on writing "Memoirs" and sponsoring the scattered survivors of the empire. He spent his life quietly. Yu Sheng finally passed away surrounded by his wife and children.

In a sense, this is also a happy ending——

During the bloody revolution, his biological father was sent to the guillotine. As a young and ignorant man, he and his sister struggled to survive with their mother in the troubled times. They barely managed to survive by relying on Josephine's long-sleeved dance, but this life was like duckweed. At that time, it could easily be destroyed, and how many children disappeared into obscurity along with their parents in the torrent of time.

But their brother and sister met the lucky star of fate, and they prospered from then on. In the end, one married a princess and the other became a queen. Isn't this God's favor?

It is true that the destruction of the empire made the Beauharnais and Bonaparte families pay a price, but what they have obtained is enough to comfort them for the rest of their lives.

Aigron had met his uncle, Prince Lucien, and he had no regrets. On the contrary, he was glad that he had become a trendsetter of the times and changed the destiny and the direction of history. He believed that Prince Eugène would do the same. His prince's sudden death was When the time comes, he will definitely thank God for letting him reach the top circle in Europe...

The rise of the empire made Eugène a prince and a very important and powerful figure on the European continent; and the destruction of the empire made Prince Eugène's power disappear, but by marrying the eldest daughter of the King of Bavaria, he combined with his past behavior His reputation is very good, so he is still considered a recognized member of the royal family by the royal families of various European countries.

His father-in-law gave him the titles of Duke of Leuchtenburg and Prince of Eichstädt, and his children were also able to marry into the royal family of other countries and be included in the circle.

At present, Prince Eugène's eldest daughter, Josefina de Beauharnais, had married the Crown Prince of Sweden, Oscar, the son of former Imperial Marshal Bernadotte, in 1823, left Bavaria, and became the Crown Princess— - Will also become Queen of Sweden in the future.

In the original historical line, in the future, his other daughter Amelie became the Queen of Brazil in 1829, and his youngest son Maximilian even married the eldest daughter of Tsar Nicholas I in 1839 Princess Maria, and has since settled in Russia, becoming a prince with a foreign surname in the empire - this can be regarded as the elimination of grudges.

Although Prince Eugene has passed away, his spirit in heaven will definitely be deeply gratified if he can see this.

However, the current historical line is changing because of him, and Aigron is not sure whether these marriages will happen as scheduled according to the historical trend, but this is enough to show the respect that Prince Eugene's family receives.

With his comfort, Princess August quickly came out of her grief. After all, her husband had passed away for several years, and she had slowly gotten used to the life of a widower.

She reluctantly cheered up and continued chatting with Aigron with a smile. At the same time, she asked her children to come over one by one to greet Aigron.

After saying hello, she asked the children to return to their homes and start today's study with their tutors.

Aigron could feel that his sister-in-law was quite friendly to him, but she maintained a cautious distance and did not let her children interact too much with Aigron.

He understood what the other party was thinking after a moment's thought - Princess Auguste had witnessed the ups and downs of the previous French Empire, and her husband also died young due to the physical damage caused by his many years of military service, so she was extremely unwilling to see it. When it came time for her own children to follow their father's path, she deliberately prevented them from communicating too much with Aigron, lest the young people become enthusiastic and embark on a "wrong path."

As the eldest princess of Bavaria, Princess Auguste has a transcendent status. She has the ability and has already secretly paved the way for her children's future, allowing them to marry royal families from all over Europe and maintain the family status of the Beauharnais family. Unfortunately, she has no motivation to let her children take adventures with Aigron - besides, she doesn't really believe that the empire can be restored successfully.

Aiglon saw her thoughts, but he was not angry. Everyone had their own choices. He could never blame a mother for refusing to give her child to him and to sacrifice her life for him.

Prince Eugene has served his father for so long, and his family doesn't owe him anything.

During the chat, Aigron introduced Teresa to Princess August. Naturally, Princess August was very attentive and generous to this young and beautiful princess.

But this kind of hospitality is just out of courtesy, and Princess August's attention is more on Chanel.

After greeting the Agrons, she moved her gaze to Chanel, who had been silent, and then spoke to her with a smile.

"Chanel, how does it feel to be back with us again?"

After the royalists retaliated against the massacre of imperial supporters in southern France in 1815, Chanel fled France as an orphan, and under the leadership of her aunt, she fled to Bavaria, and finally defected to Prince Eugène.

The prince took in the aunt and nephew and found them jobs as servants. It was here that Chanel first lived a stable life. Because of this, her heart was full of gratitude to the prince and his wife. As soon as she came to Madame's house In front of him, his eyes were already tearing up with excitement, but he didn't dare to speak out because of etiquette.

"I'm very happy..." Seeing that she could finally reply, Chanel quickly broke the silence, and then replied in an excited tone, "Madam, I am forever grateful to His Highness the Prince and you for taking care of and helping me. Without your kindness, I'm afraid I've already left the world long ago, how could there be today..."

"I have heard about you, and I have to say, these are some very interesting stories." Princess August smiled and nodded, "You have faithfully fulfilled my husband's expectations for you, even better than him." It's better than expected... It's a pity that he can't come and say thank you in person, but today, in the place where he lived, I will say it for him - Chanel, thank you for everything you have done for him, you are His best gift to the king of Rome, and the most precious."

Chanel couldn't control her emotions anymore, tears welled up in her eyes, and then she just burst into tears.

"Thank you...thank you..." she replied in tears.
