Eagle’s Glory

"I will catch her. No matter who instigated her to do this, I will definitely make her instigator pay the price with blood! Pay back tenfold!"

When Teresa said these words, her fierce look was as if she was a different person compared to her usual gentleness. No one would doubt her determination.

"Well, I won't spare her and her messengers." Aigron nodded, and then comforted his wife, "But Theresa, that is a matter for the future. The most important thing now is You, you have to take care of your body, don’t get emotional, let alone get angry..."

"How can I remain indifferent when I hear that you have suffered such a crime?" Teresa asked.

Then, she looked at the scar on Aigron's shoulder, and her tears couldn't stop flowing down again.

"I...I feel really sad."

After she finished speaking, she buried her head in her husband's arms and cried silently. While she was sad about his experience and pain, she was also secretly glad that he finally came back alive.

Aigron had no choice but to gently stroke Teresa's hair to calm her down.

Teresa was by no means an eldest lady who had never seen the world and only knew how to cry. On the contrary, she was determined and almost fearless. When she was stubborn, she even refused to give face to her father, Archduke Karl and the Habsburg Emperor. The reason why she cried so much In this way, there is only one reason - she really feels sorry for her husband.

Of course Aigron wanted this, so he became extra gentle under the guilt.

He glanced at Chanel again, and then found that although Chanel did not dare to come over to disturb them, she was already crying. The two people looked pitiful, as if there was some kind of spiritual resonance, which made the atmosphere in the room Became extremely depressed and sad.

Aigron allowed them to cry silently, and it was not until a moment later, when they calmed down a little, that he spoke again.

"Okay, Teresa, don't cry anymore. We still have a lot of important things to do. Now is not the time to shed tears... I will pay attention to it in the future and nothing like this will happen again. Don't worry."

After Aigron coaxed her for a while, Teresa finally stopped crying and walked out of his arms. By this time, Aigron's chest was already wet with tears.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness...I'm so unbecoming." At this time, she felt that she had lost her composure, so she smiled bitterly. "As your wife, I should be stronger,

Rather than being as sentimental as before. "

"It's okay, your tears moved me..." Aigron replied, "I would rather marry a sentimental girl than an ambitious Lady Macbeth who only has the desire for power in her mind! Your tears are very touching to me. It is more precious than diamonds, it not only nourishes my wounds, but also purifies my heart."

"Well..." After hearing such a compliment, Teresa finally burst into laughter.

She also knew that she was pregnant now and could not get angry easily, so she mustered up the courage to suppress the grief, anger and fear in her heart, and gradually regained her composure.

With Aigron's help, she sat back on the recliner.

"For this period of time, I have been managing the principality alone. To be honest, this is a completely unfamiliar job to me. However, fortunately, with the help of a complete team you left behind, nothing major happened. Now, I Finally, I can hand over everything to you..." She said with a bit of joy, "Father Faria is considerate of me as a pregnant woman, so every time he will try his best to summarize a large number of documents briefly and outline them, so that I can summarize them in the simplest way. This saves me a lot of energy, and the Count of Monte Cristo is a loyal executor, he is fair and strict, and because of his previous meritorious service, he has won the respect of his superiors and subordinates, so he carries out my orders without exception Compliance is awe-inspiring, so I can do what I say - I'm very happy with both of them."

At first, Teresa was very puzzled as to why Aigron valued the priest and the earl, the adopted father and son. After all, they had not had any interaction with the empire before, and they were not remnants of the imperial court. No one knew what their abilities were.

However, after more than a year of observation, especially after she was in charge of the government alone, she was convinced by Aigron's "vision". She did not expect that he could so easily discover such capable and capable people in the rough. Such a talented person with such an upright and upright personality.

Such talents have always been rare, and Theresa even felt that there may not be a few among the tens of millions of subjects of the Habsburg Empire where she was born.

"Well, I have always believed in their abilities." Aigron was also a little proud of his 'knowledge of people'. Of course, he would not tell his wife why he was able to discover the abilities of the two of them and why he relied on them. Such a big trust, but he put on a posture that he was good at controlling. "I can also find more capable people to serve me."

Having said this, Aigron thought of another important person, "By the way, how is Haidee doing now?"

Teresa turned and glanced at Chanel.

Theresa used to be personally responsible for Haidee's education, but recently because of her pregnancy, Theresa has been living in seclusion and spending less time with Haidee. She has focused on educating (and monitoring) Haidee's The task was given to Chanel, and Chanel naturally did it with all his heart.

"Your Majesty, she performed very well. She carefully completed the lessons you assigned her. She also has a very well-behaved personality. She knows how to act according to our arrangements and will not lose her temper easily." Chanel replied quickly. "She has always been grateful to you, so she said that she will always act according to your will in the future and never go beyond the limits. I can feel her sincerity. This is definitely not a lie, and she is not good at lying."

Chanel certainly knew what Aigron cared about most.

As a puppet, what Aiglon hates most is that Haidee has the consciousness that "I am the real ruler of the Principality of Ioannina." Therefore, when educating Haidee on weekdays, Chanel has always been instilling in her that "I must "Obey Your Majesty".

After all, Haidee is a little girl, and she was reduced to a slave girl before. She finally got to where she is today. She has no more pursuits in her mind. She just wants to continue such a good life - at least for now, she is There won't be any dissatisfaction.

"Very good, if she thinks so, it will be good for everyone." Aigron nodded, and then gave the order, "I'm back today, please call her over, I want to see her .”

"Okay, Your Majesty." Chanel took the order and left.

After she left, Agron continued chatting with Teresa, trying his best to make her happy, and finally calmed her down.

After Chanel walked out of the room, she walked down the stairs, passed two sentries, and came to a small, exquisitely decorated building next to it—this is the residence of Haidee, the current Grand Duchess of the Principality of Ioannina. .

When the guard at the door saw it was Chanel, he immediately saluted and let him through, and Chanel quickly walked to Haidee's dormitory.

At this time, Haidee was sitting by the sofa, playing with the pen in her hand boredly. There was a stack of written paper next to her. It was obvious that she had just been studying grammar. After seeing Chanel, she immediately wiped away the fatigue on her face, and then looked at Chanel with a smile.

"Good afternoon, Your Highness."

Chanel saluted Haidee respectfully.

As a benefactor, Aiglon can come and go at a moment's notice to Haidee. Just like a servant, she must show enough respect to Haidee so as not to make Haidee feel resentful and resent her current situation.

Haidee immediately made a gesture, indicating that Chanel did not need to be polite.

After more than half a year of nurturing and strict etiquette education, Haidee now behaves with a bit more nobility, and gradually looks like a lord who rules a country.

"Chanel, is His Majesty back?" Then, Haidee asked softly, "I just saw a group of people coming in at the window."

"Yes, His Majesty is back." Chanel nodded immediately, "He is asking me to come over now because he wants to invite you over."

"Great!" Haidee's face showed genuine joy.

Then, she threw down the pen and stood up immediately, "Okay, let's go there now! I have long been looking forward to His Majesty's return."

"Please don't lose your composure like this later, otherwise His Majesty will be very disappointed." Chanel smiled, then walked forward and tidied her dress cordially.

As for Aigron's injury in the previous attack, Chanel did not tell Haidee.

On the one hand, she felt that this kind of secret should be kept secret and the scope of insiders should be limited; on the other hand, she instinctively hoped to continue to maintain the impression of "His Majesty is invincible" in Haidee's mind, so as to prevent this child with a special status from giving birth to the idea of ​​an independent school. That would only end up hurting herself.

"I know~" Haidee replied like a spoiled child. "Don't worry, my current performance will definitely not disappoint His Majesty."

"I do believe that." After Shanel finished packing, she nodded with satisfaction.

Although the little girl in front of her is only in her early ten years, she is no longer as pitiful as before. Now her face has become round and her skin is white and rosy. Coupled with the luxurious skirt she is wearing, she looks like It's like a doll.

Then, the two of them came to Aigron and Theresa's bedroom together.

"Good afternoon, Your Majesty! I am extremely happy to see you again after such a long time."

As soon as she saw Aigron, Haidee followed the strict etiquette rules and bowed respectfully to the young man.

Although due to fate, she was hailed as the Grand Duchess of Ioannina and became the nominal ruler. She also participated in many ceremonies and even attended the trials of the Court of the Principality of Ioannina, but deep down in her heart At this time, she had not yet established the consciousness of a ruler, and everyone around her was instilling in her the concept of being a vassal.

This concept, mixed with her gratitude to the young man, turned into an almost pious respect. There was absolutely no thought in her heart of going against the other person's will.

Of course Aiglon could see that, but he didn't expect Haidee to be so tame when she grew up. In his opinion, she just hadn't had time to develop the ambition for power.

But that doesn't matter, we can just deal with the rest later.

"Haidee, it seems that you have learned very well. Not only the language, but also the etiquette are mastered so well - well, I am very pleased." Aigron praised Haidee with a smile.

"Haidee has always been smart and sensible." Theresa next to her also helped. She had always sympathized with Haidee's life experience, so she also hoped that within her own ability, Haidee would get the best possible outcome. treatment. "Your Highness, I think we are so lucky to be able to work with this kid and revitalize this country."

"Your Majesty the Queen, you praise me too much by saying that you work together, and it really makes me feel uneasy." Haidee replied with a smile, "My greatest honor in this life is to respect the will of your two majesties and guard this place for them." It’s just a piece of land, how can we talk about working together?”

"Hahahaha..." Seeing Haidee's 'sensible' answer, Aigron couldn't help laughing, "How do you usually teach her? She is still so young, why does she have to talk like this?"

"I am indeed young, but this is no reason to be ungrateful, Your Majesty." Haidee replied seriously, "You have given me everything and also awarded me such a crown. I must always keep in mind my position, and only This way I can have a bright future and grow up like a normal child."

"It seems that you have indeed learned well." Aigron suppressed his smile and clicked on the picture, "But, Haidee, you don't have to worry too much. Neither Theresa nor I are narrow-minded and incompetent people. , we will never be harsh on you. As long as you stick to what you said today, your life will definitely be wonderful, I guarantee you."

Then, he changed the topic again.

"This time I went to Bavaria and I have already negotiated with the royal family there. They will send the second prince, Prince Otto, to Greece to serve as the king of Greece. The coronation ceremony is now under intense preparations and is expected to be held next It will be held in March. Originally, we, my wife, and you were supposed to attend, but considering that Teresa is currently pregnant, it is really not suitable for traveling and traveling, so I can only take you there. You can prepare for this. Don’t lose your bearings when the time comes.”

"Don't worry, I will never embarrass you or the Principality of Ioannina." Haidee nodded heavily.

"Well, I believe so too." Aigron also nodded, and then he changed the topic, "By the way, the Bavarian royal family also secretly made another proposal to me. They hope that you and Prince Otto will get engaged first. Then when they grow up, they will formally marry, so that the two countries will become one in the future——"

"No! Don't!" Before Aigron could finish speaking, Haidee's face changed drastically.

Then, she subconsciously shook her head and refused.

Aiglon and Teresa looked at each other, both a little shocked.

"The Wittelsbach family is a royal family that has existed for thousands of years. Their prince offered to marry you. You have earned it." Aigron joked. "And after this, maybe you will become the mother of two countries..."

"Even so, don't do it." Haidee shook her head resolutely, as if she was about to cry, "Your Majesty, I am your vassal. If you order me to marry anyone, I will obey it. This is my obligation... But if you ask me about my will, I can only say, I don't want it, I object! I beg you... please don't treat me like this..."
