Eagle’s Glory

It was already dark, and Aigron was writing documents in his study, until a gentle knock on the door broke his concentration.

"Your Majesty, it's me." Andre's voice came from outside the door.

"Andre, come in." Aigron immediately stopped writing and let Andre come in.

As soon as he came in, although it was still quite far away, his nose immediately smelled the smell of alcohol coming from the door.

He was not displeased by this, on the contrary, his face showed joy.

"Looks like you have some good news for me."

"It is indeed good news, Your Majesty. Edgar has been drunk by me." Andre nodded. "The dose he drank today is enough for him to sleep soundly for most of the day tomorrow. I guarantee you that he will never Show up on that ship.”

"Very good -" Aigron smiled even more cheerfully, "Andre, you are always so reliable in your work."

The young man's praise did not make Andre happy. On the contrary, his expression was still very solid, as if he had a lot of things on his mind.

"What's the matter, Andre, do you feel guilty about asking you to do this?" Aigron asked doubtfully.

"No, Your Majesty! I am happy to carry out any order you give." Andre quickly explained to the young man, "I just heard some of Edgar's drunken words, so I felt something -"

"Drunk talk? What did he say that shocked you so much?" Aigron suddenly became interested.

"Edgar told me that besides Miss Xia Lu, he also has an illegitimate son..."

"What?" This time it was Aigron's turn to be surprised. "Illegitimate son?"

"Yes." Andre nodded, "And judging from his performance, it doesn't look like he's lying. After all, he shouldn't have such a motive."

Aiglon also agreed.

Thinking about it carefully, this doesn't seem to be such shocking news - after all, Edgar's wanderings were something he had known about for a long time, so it wouldn't be a surprise even if there were some "accidents".

Aren't you a typical example?

Therefore, he has no position to morally condemn Edgar.

I just knew the news well.

"Did he reveal anything else?"

"He also casually said that the lady who gave birth to his illegitimate child was a princess."

"Oh?" Aigron was even more surprised, "This guy is quite powerful!"

Although the news surprised him, he didn't feel dissatisfied. Anyway, the Treville family was now bound to him, and he wasn't worried that Edgar would betray him because of some personal affair.

He doesn't intend to expose this matter now. After all, it is meaningless. He is just making his subordinates' families uneasy for no reason.

"Okay, Andre, I know this. Don't tell anyone else." He pondered for a moment before giving the order, "Is there anything else you want to report?"

So Andre reported to him what Mrs. Alice had just done.

After learning what Alice had done, Aigron couldn't help but admire him secretly.

Unfortunately, she would never have thought that the instigator of this accident happened to be the person she was worried about being angry with...

"The violin is easy to deal with. You can go to Her Majesty the Queen overnight to get one. It will be delivered to her tomorrow morning." Aigron continued to order, "Also, you can check Edgar's condition by then. If he is really He is unconscious, so just tell me that he has a bad cold according to what Alice said, and we can just understand each other tacitly - Andre, you are not a person who is good at acting. Mrs. Alice is very smart and perceptive, you said The more you do, the more likely you are to annoy others... So I don’t need you to work hard at your performance. Just step aside after you’ve done this and don’t let others see the flaws. Do you understand?”

"Yes!" Andre nodded and accepted the order.

Then, he bowed to the young man and exited the room.

Following Aiglon's order, he left the farm overnight and followed a familiar road to Queen Hortense's apartment to pick up the violin.

Logically speaking, normal people would be dissatisfied if they had to work so late, but Andre was full of energy at this time - because he knew that this might be the only compensation he could give to Mrs. Alice.

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

The night gradually dissipated from the thick ink, and the earth was illuminated again with the break of dawn, and a new day finally arrived.

In the morning, Andre took the violin he borrowed from Her Majesty the Queen last night and walked to the door of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar's room.

He knocked on the door, "Ma'am, it's me."

The door opened quickly, and Andre took a closer look at Mrs. Alice. Although she was still as beautiful as usual, she could vaguely see a bit of haggardness in the corners of her eyes. It was obvious that she had not slept well last night.

"Good morning, sir." Alice greeted Andre with a smile, but this smile was a bit bitter no matter how you looked at it.

Just by looking at her like this, Andre could probably guess Edgar's current state.

"How is Edgar?"

Alice smiled bitterly and shook her head, indicating that there was no miracle of twists and turns, and then she invited Andre to come in with her.

Looking at Edgar, who was still sleeping soundly on the bed, Andre had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't feel much joy in completing the task.

"It seems like he won't be able to make it today."

"Yes, although I have tried hard to wake him up, every time there is some movement, he immediately falls asleep again..." Alice replied helplessly, "He will definitely not be able to attend today."

"Then I will report to Your Majesty that he has a bad cold as agreed last night." Before Alice could remind him, Andre took the initiative to speak, "After all, it is partly my responsibility that he would be so drunk. I should help."

"Thank you so much, sir." Alice thanked Andre sincerely. "Without you, I really don't know how we would have ended up now. It's really embarrassing... By the way, if your Majesty wants If he wants to visit in person, can you please try to dissuade him? After all, colds are highly contagious, so it is justifiable for you to stop him."

"I will, don't worry, madam." Andre promised immediately.

Relieved, Alice turned to look at her husband lying on the bed. Her eyes were full of helplessness and anger, but also a bit unbearable to blame.

"By the way, madam, I have brought you the violin you want." Andre took the violin out of the case with sympathy and handed it to the other party.

"Thank you!" Alice thanked Andre again and took the violin.

She looked at the body of the violin carefully, then touched the wood with her hand, and then sighed, "This violin is very valuable. It is worthy of being a collection of Her Majesty the Queen. It has been played by countless famous artists in the past." Music! It is such an insult to let a clumsy hand like mine use it..."

"Where are you talking about? The piano was born to be played. No matter how glorious it has been before, if it falls into the hands of the queen and becomes a collection, it has lost its original meaning, and it has lost its original meaning, like a gem or even a scarf. There is no difference anymore. You can take it out from the dusty collection and play it, which is to let it do its best. If it has a soul, I am afraid it will thank you!"

"I didn't expect someone as straightforward as you to be so good at talking..." After hearing such a compliment, Alice thanked Andre with a smile. This time her smile finally became a little more cheerful.

Then, she lightly plucked the strings with her fingers, then picked up the violin and put it on her shoulder, then picked up the bow and pulled it gently.

A rich and soft sound immediately came out of the resonance box.

Alice slowly pulled the bow to test the sound and find the rhythm of the strings. As she played, her slender arms gently moved up and down, and her white and slender fingers moved along the piano. The body moves like a fluttering butterfly.

Andre didn't know much about music, so he couldn't hear what music his wife was playing now, but even so, he could feel a sense of comfort from the melodious music.

This sense of comfort comes not only from the plump and thick body of the piano, but also from the young woman in front of her - her slim figure seems to be integrated with the music in her gentle movements, and her blue eyes are half-open. With his eyes half closed, he seemed completely immersed in the music.

Andre listened silently until, after a long time, Alice's audition performance finally ended.

She put down her violin and looked at Andre hopefully. "Sir, what do you think?"

"Madam... I'm sorry, I don't know much about music, so I can't make a professional evaluation of your performance." Andre replied immediately, "But, in my opinion, this is the best music I have ever heard in my life. The show – you’re part of the show.”

"So what is being praised is actually something other than music?" A wry smile flashed on Alice's face, "Well, both Your Majesty grew up in the Austrian court, and they have listened to the best music of this era since they were young. The musicians are playing well, and with my skills, it’s not that easy to fool them.”

"You are not playing as a musician, but as a friend to add to the fun. What matters between friends is not technique but heart. I believe your two majesties will be very touched by your heart. As for the rest, it is nothing more than trivial matters. ." Andre comforted her sincerely.

"I hope so, there is no other way anyway." Alice nodded, which can be regarded as cheering herself up.

Then, she stroked the violin in her hand again, her eyes full of admiration, "This violin is so good! God knows how much Her Majesty Queen Ortense spent to buy it... Although it is my first time to use it. It, but the moment I just started playing, I felt that it seemed to have some kind of spirituality that could be easily controlled by me. With it, I can definitely play better than usual."

When Andre saw this, he thought that if possible, he hoped that His Majesty would make the decision and give this violin to Lady Alice as a gift - anyway, if it stays with Her Majesty the Queen, it will just be a pearl covered in dust and will not be able to play its role.

However, he did not say these words, but bowed to say goodbye to Alice.

"Madam, if this is the case, then I will go to His Majesty first. I will inform Your Majesty according to the words we have communicated. I think, for this reason, they will not mind Edgar's absence, so you can rest assured. . I think it is best for you at this moment not to think about it anymore, but to devote yourself wholeheartedly to the activity. I believe this is the best for you and Edgar. Best wishes. You can have fun next.”

After saying that, he turned and left.

Alice watched Andre leave, and the smile on her face disappeared.

She didn't know what Andre said, but at this time, her husband who was supposed to be relied on was completely useless. Whether it was the family or her daughter, all responsibilities fell on her alone. This kind of pressure made her How to be happy again.

After a moment of silence, she sighed again, then walked to the dressing table, picked up foundation and lipstick, and carefully covered the traces of fatigue in the corners of her eyes.

After dressing up carefully, she dressed herself up into a more elegant lady than before. Then, she took her daughter Xia Lu out of the next room and dressed up carefully in front of the dressing table.

The little girl put on a white dress, her blond hair was covered by a small silk sunhat, and she let out cheerful laughter, which made her look very comfortable.

"Good girl!" After finishing dressing up her daughter, Alice admired her masterpiece, and then couldn't help but lower her head and kiss her daughter's cheek.

Her daughter is her pride. Who is she working so hard for in the end?

With the help of her daughter, she regained her energy, swept away the gloom accumulated throughout the night, and her eyes were filled with brilliance.

There is no room for failure no matter what, even if Edgar is not around, she must shoulder the responsibility for her daughter's future.

She hugged her daughter and walked out of the room together, and in the corridor she met her sister Agnes.

"Good morning, sister." Agnes greeted her sister, and then came close to the mother and daughter.

After seeing the makeup of the mother and daughter clearly, she looked like a fan girl with starry eyes, "Ah! So beautiful, a big beauty and a ready-to-be big beauty!"

Of course she knew why her sister and niece were so well dressed - after all, the event was about to start, and she was also invited.

Then, she looked behind Alice curiously, "By the way, where's Edgar? Did he take the first step?"

"No, Agnes..." Alice shook her head helplessly, "He has a sudden illness and is not suitable for action today, so... so he can only be absent."

"Emergency illness? What emergency?" Agnes immediately became anxious. "I've seen him jumping around so much lately. It doesn't look like he has an emergency! Did he drink too much!?"

"Agnes!" Alice frowned.

Seeing her sister being angry, Agnes immediately stopped talking.

"Don't talk nonsense and harm your family. Isn't it enough to teach you a lesson?" Alice warned her sister in a low voice, "In any case, Edgar will not be able to attend. You must help me learn from it." Performance, let’s make sure they don’t mind Edgar’s absence, okay?”
