Eagle’s Glory

With the help of his cousin, Aigron soon settled down on the farm.

Contrary to the previous experience, the treatment he enjoyed this time was much more comfortable, and everyone around him was revolving around him, which can be described as a happy spring breeze.

Just a few days later, Christmas Eve came.

For ordinary people, this is a day for family reunion and praying for the coming New Year, but for Aigron, his wife and children are now in Austria, so there is no "reunion".

But even so, in order to cheer up the spirits of his men, he still ordered a Christmas banquet to be held in the farm to celebrate his arrival in this place, which is only more than a hundred kilometers away from France.

In order to please His Majesty, Prince Charles also spared no effort. He took advantage of the convenience of growing up in the local area to obtain a large amount of supplies, which were secretly sent to the farm.

The people around Aigron were busy in the farm in full swing. When night fell, everything was ready, and even Queen Odance secretly came to join him, just waiting for him to attend.

Under everyone's attention, Aigron came to the restaurant.

At this time, it was snowing lightly outside, and the night was so dark that there was no starlight, but the restaurant was brightly illuminated by candlelight, and with the shiny reflection of the metal tableware, almost everything was clearly visible.

Aigron has seen too many luxurious scenes, and the scene at this time can only be described as "rough", but even so, he can feel the joy and excitement that filled the room. When seeing him, everyone was shocked. With a smile on his face, he stood up and saluted him.

He knew that everyone present was loyal to him and their hopes were pinned on him, and he enjoyed this feeling very much.

He walked to the main seat, and at this moment, everyone was silently watching him, waiting for his speech.

Aigron suddenly remembered that two years ago, he also held a small celebration banquet in this farm, and only a few people were present at that time.

Two years have passed and everything is decidedly different.

"Everyone, good evening." Aigron calmly picked up the wine glass, and then looked around at the people present, "I am very glad that you can accompany me on this special day. Since you can come here, it means You are all people whom I have placed my trust in.

Although I hope to make a career out of it,

But it is impossible to do anything alone, and after I escaped from prison, I was fortunate to have your help, and it was you who made me eligible to speak on the stage of Europe, and also allowed me to go to Fighting for the throne, I can't put into words how grateful I am to you guys... I promise that no matter what happens in the future, your names will always be in my heart, cheers. "

"Cheers!" After he finished his toast, the others also picked up their glasses and drank down.

"Your Majesty." After taking a sip of wine, Queen Odance sat next to Aigron and looked at Aigron with a smile, "Since it's a festival, let's not talk about those national affairs tonight, let's talk about something interesting Let’s talk about—”

Since Teresa is not here, Queen Otance is the oldest and highest-ranking person besides Aigron here, and she is also the only woman present, so she took the initiative to take on the responsibility of setting off the atmosphere.

Aigron knew her intentions, so he deliberately cooperated with the queen.

"What do you want to say?" he asked politely.

"I have always been very curious about Her Highness Teresa. She is already the daughter-in-law of our family, but so far I have no words to see." Queen Odance asked him immediately, "I want to ask, are you How did you meet?"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Aigron with full expectation. Obviously, this was a very interesting story for her.

Aigron hesitated for a moment, not because he was unwilling to answer, but because his own mother had contributed to his relationship with Teresa, and it was inconvenient to say what her mother's motives were.

In other words, mentioning Queen Louisa in front of this group is embarrassing enough in itself—Aggron would prefer that the less people think about his mother, the better.

After hesitating for a moment, he changed his rhetoric.

"You know, I was raised in the palace at that time, and as a princess of the royal family, Teresa often had the opportunity to enter the palace to participate in activities. One day her father brought her over and happened to meet me. When we met , she was sketching in the botanical garden, holding a sketchbook in her hand... I couldn't see any uncomfortable arrogance from her, but a sense of alienation beyond everything. That look attracted me all of a sudden. I was thinking how fun it would be to be friends with her.

And not long after, His Majesty held a large celebration. At the ball, I happened to be chosen to be her dance partner. I held her hand, and then danced with her in the hall like no one else... I think, in At that moment, we bonded. Thank God, that bond ended up making us a couple. "

Following the general context of the facts, Aigron removed all the impurities of conspiracy and calculation from the encounter between the two people in the past, and processed it into a romantic story, in which only the encounter between a boy and a girl in the garden is an amazing fate.

Obviously, as long as he ascends to the throne in the future, what he said today will be the official version in the official history—as for the hidden shadows and silently weeping victims, they will not be recorded in the text .

"It's such a moving story!" Although she was already middle-aged, Queen Otangs, as a woman, still liked this story very much. There were unexpected disasters, but they took the courage to overcome all difficulties and finally came together happily."

While talking, she picked up the wine glass, "Cheers to the prince and princess!"

After everyone had another drink, the queen looked at Aigron with a smile again, "Your Majesty, from your words, Your Highness Teresa is very talented."

"Yeah, she can play the piano, she can also draw, she likes literature and drama, and she has a pretty good appreciation of art." Aigron replied. "The reason why she fell in love with me was not because of my so-called blood, but because my literary talent moved her."

Teresa has received a strict education since she was a child, and naturally she also learned vocal music and painting. As for her level, although she is much better than ordinary people, she can't be called outstanding. However, in front of others, Egron naturally wants to praise his wife.

"Pfft ha ha ha, I really don't know whether you are praising her or yourself." After hearing Aigron's answer, the queen couldn't help laughing.

After laughing for a while, she looked at Aigron again, "Well then, Your Majesty——after Her Majesty Teresa comes down, can I ask you to leave a handwritten letter with her as a souvenir? She draws you The inscription, I think this will definitely be a collection that can be handed down to future generations..."

On such a day, Queen Otangs was also his aunt, so Egron would naturally not refuse this small request. "Of course you can. However, you have seen those rare treasures with your own eyes. I'm afraid that the things of me and Teresa won't catch your eyes..."

Queen Otangs chuckled again, "It has nothing to do with level, Your Majesty. Both you and her will be legends, so your words and deeds are souvenirs in themselves."

"Is it a legend..." Aigron lightly recalled this sentence.

From the perspective of others, the experience between himself and Teresa at this time is indeed legendary enough, right? What's more, maybe he and her will become more attention-grabbing existences in the future.

Their destiny is connected, and they are destined to go through this life hand in hand, and then leave two names and portraits next to each other in the history books at the same time.

Moreover, Teresa has unreserved love for herself, and she does her best to assist and help herself, to engage in a career that she doesn't really like for herself, and to do it in an orderly way... In retrospect, he can't even say What's wrong with Teresa?

With such a wife, surely anyone would be satisfied, right? No matter how many times I have entrapped myself before, God did favor me once.

But how on earth did you treat her? A voice in my mind asked coldly.

Aegron avoided the question with a guilty conscience.

He glanced at the empty side—if Teresa was here, she would definitely be sitting next to him, talking and laughing with him, and spending the festival together.

If only she were here...

He suddenly discovered that, subtly, he had already gotten used to the days when Teresa was by his side. After saying goodbye to his wife, he didn't have much influence at first, but when the festival came and everyone was reunited, he couldn't help thinking of Teresa.

She was already an integral part of my life.

Teresa, you must be enjoying the festival with your family at this moment, right? Toast to you.

He picked up the wine glass and drank the sour liquor silently.

===========================

As Aigron guessed, at this moment, the Grand Duke Karl's family is also surrounded by the already prepared Christmas tree to spend the holiday together.

According to the habit of previous years, Teresa sat in front of the piano before dinner and played a song for the family.

Amidst the melodious sound of the piano, the family members are all dressed up, everyone is smiling, and the children are looking forward to what new year gift they will get.

However, Teresa didn't have many smiles on her face. Although she skillfully moved her fingers on the keys of the piano, her eyes were a little erratic, obviously her mind didn't stay here.

Relying solely on the muscle memory left over from previous practice, Teresa finished playing the piano piece, and then she raised her head, and was surprised to find that someone had already stood beside her.

"Dad?" she exclaimed.

"It's not as good as it used to be." Archduke Karl shook his head lightly.

"Sorry..." Teresa lowered her head a little embarrassedly, "I have been away for more than a year, and there are too many things, so I don't have time to practice..."

"It's not about the technique, it's about your absent-mindedness." The father replied bluntly, "Are you missing your husband?"

This question, as if it had triggered some mechanism, immediately vented the melancholy in Teresa's heart.

"Yes, Dad. I thought I could stay longer, because I really miss my relatives very much, especially you..." Teresa smiled with a hint of embarrassment, "But every time here As the day goes by, I find myself getting more and more restless, I miss my husband, I don't know what he's doing so I can only worry about it, even though I have full confidence in him, I can't help but worry... God , this kind of torment is really uncomfortable, especially tonight, everyone is reunited, laughing and laughing, but he can only be alone, without the company of his wife or son, His Highness will definitely be very lonely, and I am afraid he will blame me Why aren't you by his side?"

"I don't think so. It's not that there is no one around him. Besides, that kid is so hard-hearted, so he won't be sad about this matter. You don't have to worry about him." Grand Duke Karl replied calmly.

Teresa was displeased when she heard that, and she glared at her father angrily, "He never said a bad word about you behind your back, how can you say something like that behind your back? It's too inappropriate!"

"Why? I was so troubled by him and lost my daughter, so I still have to be respectful to him?" The Grand Duke frowned and asked, "I think my temper is already very good. If I was really inappropriate, then what should I do at the beginning?" How is it possible to see him again?"

After being refuted by her father, Teresa was speechless for a while.

"Father...well...don't mind what happened before, it's all over, isn't it?" After a while, she tried to comfort her father with warmth, "it's my fault, I should be more happy."

"It's okay, Teresa, thinking about your husband means that you have fulfilled your duties as a wife, and you have not violated our teaching." Grand Duke Karl shook his head lightly, "I am not blaming you, I just came here to remind you, everyone Waiting for you to pass."

"Yeah!" Teresa quickly stood up from her seat.

She barely cheered herself up, and then looked at her father with a smile on her face, "By the way, Dad, let me give you the gift we gave you first."

"What?" The Grand Duke was a little puzzled.

Teresa took out a carefully wrapped gift box from the piano and handed it to her father.

The Grand Duke received the gift box, then opened the silk thread on it, and then he found an exquisite Grand Cross Diamond Medal on a blue background, lying quietly on the velvet inside the box.

"Last time you gave him your medal, and now he gave you the medal he wore himself." Teresa explained to her father, "He said that the gift is light, but he has always followed your example, so To honor you in the same way... Please accept it."

The Archduke regained his composure and closed the box again, then shrugged.

"Hmph, the one who gave me the medal was either the emperor or the king, how dare a mere knight commander be so confident."

Teresa laughed secretly in her heart, her father's reaction was exactly what she and Aigron expected.

She pretended to be very nervous on the surface, "If we have a chance in the future, how about giving you the highest medal of France?"

"Let's talk about it." The Grand Duke was noncommittal. "I just want you to live. I already have too many medals, so it doesn't matter at all."

"Dad, I love you." Teresa hugged her father and kissed him tenderly on the cheek.

The Grand Duke stroked his daughter's hair silently.

"That's enough, Teresa..."

Tears welled up in Teresa's eyes, and she hugged her father tightly to show her apology.

And the snow falling outside the window seemed to be expressing her heart at the moment.

Your Highness, wait for me, I will return to your side soon...
