Eagle’s Glory

"Fool. If you want something from me, just ask me honestly. Why do you need to play tricks on me? I will agree."

Hearing such gentle and tolerant words from Maria's mouth, Aigron was stunned and almost doubted his own ears.

But the smooth and cold touch on his forehead told him that this was not a dream.

She really looks at me differently...

It would be a lie to say that she wasn't moved. She tried her best to help before, and she tried her best to help and take care of herself after she was injured. But now that he has clearly offended her, she is still considerate and tolerant.

Even if he didn't say it out loud, Aigron could tell that he did have a different position in her heart than others.

However, have her feelings risen to the point where she is willing to risk everything and even take risks to replace her twin sister?

It’s probably not possible yet…

However, as long as you have the current foundation, it means that your plan is promising and you can continue to try.

With a little joy, Aigron unclenched his fist, then his eyes turned red and his voice choked up.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... Your Highness! Please forgive me..." He put on an extremely ashamed and guilty posture, and apologized to Maria with a cry, "I didn't trust you enough, and I let down your good intentions. It even made you angry...I really deserve to be punished by God! Every time you tolerate me more, it makes me feel even more ashamed."

"Okay, okay, don't play this kind of drama for me anymore, it's off-putting." Maria rolled her eyes at him, seeming a little impatient, "Since it's already been said, I'll just cooperate. Just give it a break, but your people can't be rude to the people around me. They are all outsiders and should not be subject to unwarranted suspicion and insult."

"No problem." Aigron naturally agreed immediately, "I won't embarrass them. As long as I am sure it is safe, I will let them go immediately."

Although her words were very rude, her demeanor was quite calm and she had obviously lost her temper.

Perhaps she was a little scared of what she had just done, so her eyes dodged.

"I just said I would strangle you to death. It was just an angry word. Don't take it to heart-"

"fine,

If being strangled to death can make you calm down, I am willing to bear such a punishment immediately. "Aiglon replied casually.

"Then we have an agreement -" Maria sneered, "If one day in the future you really do something that I cannot forgive, I will strangle you to death and you are not allowed to resist."

Although this seemed a bit like flirting, Aigron suddenly felt a chill in his heart, so he didn't dare to talk anymore.

But in his heart, he still didn't believe it. What could a weak woman like Maria do to him?

"When do you plan to leave?" Maria changed the subject.

"If you can, leave tonight." Aigron replied quickly, as if he had received an amnesty. "After all, after you reveal your identity, the police authorities will definitely list you as a key observer. It is too dangerous for me to stay here."

"Leaving tonight? Can your body hold up?" Maria was a little surprised.

"No matter what, I must hold on." Aigron replied decisively. "If it doesn't work, let them take me away on a stretcher."

Inadvertently, he showed the decisive commanding attitude that he was accustomed to, and seeing him like this, Maria seemed to be infected and no longer questioned.

"Okay, then I'll ask the people around me to pack their bags and leave in the evening." Maria asked Aiglon, "It's not like we don't even have this little freedom, right?"

"Of course, please do as you please." Aigron smiled and nodded.

Since Maria has already cooperated to this extent, it would be too unkind for him to force her anymore. He will still have many things to ask of the other party in the future, and he must not break up with her.

So Maria walked to the door and opened it.

Because he was worried that Maria would break out after being stimulated, which would be detrimental to His Majesty, Andre Davout had been standing at the door. But now he suddenly saw the door being opened, and then seeing Maria's face, he immediately turned his attention to the girl on the bed. Young people.

Fortunately, it's okay... The young man's expression was relaxed, and everything seemed to be going very smoothly.

Maria's expression was as cold as ice, while his eyes were evasive, not daring to look at His Highness anymore, but his body did not move away, but waited for the young man's order.

"Andre, let His Highness go out." At this time, Aigron gave the order at the right time, "We have just exchanged views, and she agreed to leave with us."

Andre immediately understood Aigron's hint and quickly got out of the way, while Maria walked out without even saying a word of thanks.

After all, she was still the same person. She could be a little courteous to Aiglon because of her good feelings in her heart, but she couldn't have any good feelings towards his ministers and servants, especially those who were now detaining the people around her.

"Take me over there, I want to see them." She gave the order directly.

Because he was afraid of what Maria was playing, Andre did not dare to neglect. While carefully paying attention to her actions, he led her to the room where the followers were detained.

At this time, these people were being closely guarded by the men brought by Andre, trembling at their situation and worried about Maria's safety.

Except for Maria's personal maid, no one knows what happened specifically. They thought they encountered some robbers and robbers. Some even thought they might be spies sent by the Emperor of Austria, but they didn't dare to whisper, so the room The atmosphere inside was tense and depressing.

"Your Highness! Are you okay?" When she appeared in the room, the depressing atmosphere finally eased, and everyone gathered around her, surprised and happy.

With Maria's character, it was certainly impossible for them to love her from the bottom of their hearts, but at this moment, none of them could afford any unexpected consequences for Her Royal Highness.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, and so are you." Of course Maria knew what they were worried about, so she comforted them, "It's just a little accident now, and it won't endanger the safety of any of us."

Maria's words were not entirely true. Everyone looked at each other in shock after hearing this. If the atmosphere hadn't been so tense, they might have laughed.

Is it okay to be surrounded by a group of men with weapons and fierce looks?

"I have a friend who wants to see me. These people were sent by him to invite me. To ensure confidentiality, he does not allow any of you to move freely." Because the matter was in a hurry, Maria didn't think of what to say. So I had to make up an excuse, "Let's pack our bags now and leave in the evening."

After hearing her words, everyone still looked at each other in shock.

"where to?"

"Okay, don't ask so many questions!" Maria became impatient and shouted loudly, "Anyway, nothing happened. You and I are both safe. Just obey my orders. There won't be much time left. , you guys hurry up and pack your bags!”

"Remember, don't tell anyone what happened today, even if you return to China in the future." Then, Maria warned, "If anyone wants to go home well, don't do stupid things. do you understand?"

After all, she has always accumulated power, so even in this strange situation, after seeing her getting angry, no one dared to say anything more. They just nodded silently, obeyed His Highness's order, and then started packing under the supervision of the guards.

Seeing this scene, Andre Davout also breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect that Maria would actually be so cooperative with His Majesty's wishes. It didn't look like she was unwilling at all after being kidnapped and coerced.

Recalling the ambiguous scene when the two of them first met, Andre was even more certain that there must be an affair between the two, and there was no other explanation.

However, this brought him new doubts - how did His Majesty hook up with her?

He has been with His Majesty for a long time. He can be sure that there was no previous contact between His Majesty and the Bavarian royal family. Logically speaking, they had no chance to develop feelings at all.

So, why is this happening?

His brain fell into a state of confusion, and in the chaos, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

There is a common point of contact between these two people - His Highness Maria's twin sister Sophie is His Majesty's aunt. Although His Majesty has never gotten along with Her Majesty Maria before, he has at least got along with Her Majesty Sophie day and night.

So, does this mean...

For a moment, he seemed to have an enlightenment, his mind became clear, and several thoughts suddenly emerged.

But he quickly suppressed these thoughts.

No, I can’t think about it any more!

He found that he had peered into a dark and deep hole. If he continued to follow his curiosity, it might be a disaster for him.

As His Majesty's closest favorite, he must know how to measure his Majesty's secrets. If His Majesty is willing to let him know, then he will tell himself; if he does not tell himself, it means that he should not know or even guess. It is also a form of infidelity.

Unconsciously, he found cold sweat on his back.

"What are you doing?"

Just as he was secretly speculating, Maria's sarcastic words suddenly came to his mind.

Only then did he come back to his senses.

"Your Highness." He quickly replied to Maria, "Do you have any orders?"

"Will you obey any instructions I have?" Maria replied coldly.

Andre was a little embarrassed to be snatched away by her, but this just pulled him out of the suspicion and fear just now.

"Your Majesty, it is a pity that we have to take this step for the sake of His Majesty's safety. However, in His Majesty's heart, he still respects you very much and will never allow us to disrespect you. Therefore, as long as your orders are not inconsistent with His Majesty's If there is a conflict with the order, I am more than happy to carry it out, so please feel free to give it."

"Hmph, you are quite eloquent. You are worthy of being that boy's subordinate." Maria's face was still tense and sarcastic.

Then she changed the subject, "It seems that he trusts you very much."

"Thanks to His Majesty's kindness, he appointed me as his captain of the guard. It is an extremely honor for me." Andre Davout answered with his head held high. "As a result, due to my own negligence, His Majesty was attacked and fell into such a miserable situation. I am really ashamed, and I will die a hundred times to redeem myself.”

"I don't blame you for this. He was obviously too careless, so what can he blame others for?" Maria smiled slightly, "Or you can blame me, because I was the one who suggested that we go to the church together -"

"Of course I can't blame you." Andre quickly comforted the other party, "Judging from various signs, the assassin has been following us all the way and has been watching us for a long time. Even without you, she will look for other opportunities to carry out despicable assassinations. ...If there is a mistake, it is all her fault and her instigators, and there is no need for you to bear any responsibility."

Then, he felt a little embarrassed, "Unfortunately, for the safety of His Majesty, I have to do this now. This is not because I think you have committed any mistakes, but because I have no choice... Please forgive me. "

"Are you a noble?" Maria stopped worrying about the kidnapping and asked him, "Can I know your name?"

"My name is Andre Davout, and I am the nephew of the late Marshal Davout." At the mention of his uncle's name, Andre held his head high again, "In order to inherit my uncle's legacy, I serve His Majesty, and I am grateful to you. For his kindness he was granted the title of Marquis of Lepanto."

After listening to his narrative, Maria's eyes changed a bit when she looked at Andre.

In any case, as a princess, she would rather deal with a famous noble.

"Since you are from a family of famous generals in the empire, and you have been given a title by him personally, you seem to have won his trust." Maria said while slightly relaxing her tense expression. "It seems that you were also involved in his operations in France before?"

"I was honored to participate and witness His Majesty's heroic appearance throughout the whole process." Andre Davout replied with a solemn expression, "Maybe it is hard for you to imagine, but for me, this is a memory worth remembering forever. Your Majesty has proved He truly deserves our allegiance and following.”

"Haha——" Maria sneered, but did not sneer again.

Then, there was a moment of silence.

The two people walked back to the bedroom where Aigron rested while talking.

Just when she was at the door, Maria suddenly stopped and looked at Andre again.

"Sir, since you have been with him for so long, you must have learned the ability to turn a blind eye, right?"

Andre was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood what she meant.

"Don't worry, no matter what happened before, I don't retain any memory... and naturally I won't mention it to anyone."

Feeling Maria's gaze, he immediately added another sentence.

"The same goes for whatever happens next."

After hearing this assurance, Maria's expression became more relaxed, and she couldn't help but laugh with sarcasm again.

"I believe you, sir... maybe you will know many secrets in the future, so you'd better be careful."

Then, she made a slight gesture.

Although he knew that she had no power to restrain the chicken, Andre felt like a thorn in his back, and he quickly bowed and stepped away.
