Eagle’s Glory

"I don't have any objections..."

Although she was shy on the outside, Teresa was filled with sweetness in her heart.

Before she married Aigron, she had already dreamed of building a big happy family with His Highness. How could she not want to have more children?

However, Aigron was just joking in the mood. He didn't want Teresa to get pregnant again now. After all, they were in a remote place like this, and he would regret it if something unexpected happened.

After the joke was over, the couple no longer talked about serious matters, but took their son for a walk together harmoniously. Although they had walked this road countless times during this period, the kind of friendship between family members It’s warm and makes people never tire of trying it.

In the afternoon, the couple returned to the house together, waiting for dinner. His secretary Leon had already arranged the things he had just explained, so they were free now.

In order to kill some time before dinner, the couple asked Chanel and Andre to play a card game together, playing whist - this was also one of Aigron's favorite things to do in his spare time after coming here. means of recreation.

The Agrons were already very intelligent and clear-headed, and as they often paired up, they became more and more skilled in cooperating. They often knew how to play a card with just a wink, making it impossible for their opponents to fight back.

It didn't take long before almost everyone enjoyed the "honor" of playing against His Majesty and His Majesty and his wife. They were severely punished by them. Everyone complained, but the couple enjoyed it endlessly. Even if they didn't gamble, they could still experience that kind of love. The joy of winning.

It didn't take long before everyone was unwilling to take the initiative to take on this "honor" for fear of avoiding it. Aigron could only designate someone to play with him. Today it was the turn of Chanel and guard captain Andre.

Andre had no interest in playing card games at all, but since His Majesty gave the order, he could only suppress his temper and act as a card partner to make the two His Majesty happy - after all, this is part of his job. .

There were no surprises. In a short period of time, Aigron and Teresa relied on their cooperation and agility to easily defeat their two temporary partners. Andre had nothing to do and could only keep a bitter look on his face. Bite the bullet and play with them.

"Don't feel so bad, Andre." Seeing Andre's bitter look, Aigron made a joke, "I'm afraid you don't know that the one who played cards with the two of us at first was His Majesty the Emperor of Austria. This is like enjoying the same treatment as the emperor."

When Aigron said this for the first time in the past,

People will still feel a sense of sincerity and fear, but after he talks too much, everyone just obeys and no longer feels anything special - this is probably the "desensitization" that will inevitably occur after staying around a big shot for a long time. Bar.

"I'm afraid your two majesties won't show their full strength when they are in front of His Majesty the Emperor, right?" Andre joked boldly.

"That's natural. We had an inseparable game with His Majesty, and then unfortunately we lost to him." Teresa recalled the past, obviously it was only not long ago, but it made her feel like she was in another world, " Since we are his subordinates and his juniors, we can't really make him unhappy, right?"

"In the same way, we don't dare to make you unhappy." Andre sighed, "Since His Majesty has experienced the feeling back then, please forgive us for our feelings..."

"What, Andre, do you want to say that you can actually beat us, but you just don't dare to win because of your status?" Aigron asked pretending to be serious, "Then I think you are naive."

"Your Majesty, that's not what I meant. You two are so powerful. Even if I go all out, I can't change the result. I just said that your authority forces us to fight without any fun. All games can only be won if there is victory. We only go when we have hope, and we just want to stay away from opponents we can't defeat." Andre replied quickly.

To be fair, Andre's words were a bit disrespectful, but usually the Agrons thanked him for his hard work and followed him all the way, and treated him more as a friend, so Andre often treated the Agrons as friends. It is not so constrained by the relationship between monarch and minister.

This is what Aigron wants to see - after all, compared to a yes-man, a person who can faithfully do his job while maintaining an independent personality is much more interesting.

"Okay, okay, it seems that we hit too hard today and beat Andre until he became discouraged, so let's stop here." Aigron gestured to Teresa with a smile, and then All the cards in his hand were thrown onto the table, declaring the game over.

Seeing that his "torture" was finally over, Andre was relieved, but there was always a hint of worry between his eyebrows.

Aigron couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw his unhappy look. "What, Andre, is it going to torture you so much to let you play cards? Why are you so unhappy even after it's over?"

"No... Your Majesty, I'm not, I just..." Andre shook his head quickly, but he was a little incoherent.

"What's going on?" Aigron was very curious, so he asked, "Tell me, I don't want to see you so downcast."

Andre still resisted, but after Aigron's repeated questioning, he finally had to reveal the truth.

"Your Majesty, before I left Paris, I had several relationships. I just got the news recently that the girl I have been with for the longest time and who impressed me the most has got married."

"That's it! No wonder you are so depressed." Teresa was greatly surprised, and then she asked, "Then did she send you a letter?"

"No, nothing. I'm afraid she has already forgotten about me." Andre shrugged, "Actually, because we have no news here, by the time I learned the news, they had already been married several times. It’s been a month…”

Although Andre's tone was calm, the other three people present fell into silence, not knowing what to say.

No wonder he was in such a bad mood today and actually contradicted Aigron uncharacteristically. It turned out to be this reason.

"Actually, it's nothing. Your Majesty, I knew before we left France that nothing would happen to us, and I was determined to abandon everything and follow Your Majesty." After a moment of silence, Andre took the initiative to speak, "Originally She and I just had a romantic relationship, and it was nothing after we said goodbye to each other. I almost didn't miss her after coming to His Majesty's side. I just felt a little bit after hearing the news recently. It's really nothing... I'll be fine after a while. "

Although he said it easily, judging from his face, it seems that he is not so calm.

"It's okay, Andre. Since you have made up your mind to cut off the relationship with her before, what she does next has nothing to do with you. Let her do it. She also has her freedom." Aigron took the photo. Patting on the shoulder, "Now you are one of the closest people around us, and you are also the Marquis of Lepanto that I personally conferred. With such a noble status, why worry about not finding a suitable partner in the future? I must find a marriage for you. A noble lady from a famous family is not worthy of you!"

In Aigron's view, as a young French talent, Andre is handsome and talented, so it is normal for him to have a romantic history. There is no need to worry about it at all. Now his status is rising along with his own. , there will only be more and better candidates waiting for him to choose.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. But I don't mind this kind of thing. I just want to give everything for your cause now." After Aigron's comfort and promise, Andre cheered up again, and then Aiglon responded loudly with his usual enthusiasm.

Aiglon also knew that he was in a bad mood, so he waved him away to rest, while Chanel cleared the card table for them.

The expressions of the couple were a little strange, and they were still thinking about what happened just now.

"Your Highness, I actually wanted to tell you before. The people who follow you are getting older day by day, and most of them are still single. It's really a bit unfair to them-" Theresa whispered. "Although Andre's experience was just an accident, others will probably face similar problems. We owe them a lot."

"I know this." Aigron sighed. "I will make it up to them later."

Aigron also knew in his heart that most of the people who followed him were young people in their prime of life. They had never been married and almost abandoned their families and careers to work with him. In comparison, he was young in comparison, only in his teens. Even if they are not jealous of themselves even though they are married and still enjoying themselves outside, it seems a bit selfish.

Aiglon can see the problem, but now he can't interfere with other people's family problems. In addition, he is in a remote country and has no way to solve it, so he can only try to compensate them in the future.

"Andre may not have to worry. He has your favor, a glorious family background and a title, and he will definitely have a partner who is worthy of him; but not everyone who follows you has a noble title, nor does he have a noble title. Not everyone shares so many superior conditions -" Teresa still did not stop the topic, but continued to remind Agron, "So on this issue, we'd better not use illusory future to perfuse them, It’s best to show our sincerity to them as soon as possible, so as to strengthen our cohesion, isn’t it?”

Aigron thought about it and felt that Theresa's opinion was right, so he also became interested and asked Theresa.

"That makes sense, Teresa, what can you do?"

"We can first make a statistics among your knights and other important officials to see how many are unmarried, and then tell them that we are willing to sponsor them to start a family." Teresa pondered for a moment before answering her husband, " As for the target... we are not without candidates now. In the Principality of Ioannina, many new orthodox landowners have emerged through our policies, and the surviving old MSL landowners are also panicked... They We urgently need the protection of the principality, so I am afraid we are also willing to find a sense of security through marriage. We can write to Father Faria and ask Father Faria to do the same statistics, and then select suitable candidates to marry them - of course there is one The condition, all marriages, must be between two Catholics, and we cannot let the French people feel that we are too liberal in our religion, and they and their children have to convert."

Aigron thought about it and felt that Theresa's method was indeed feasible, but he still had doubts.

"What if someone is unwilling to enter into such a marriage due to religious beliefs or other reasons? Besides, I'm afraid some people are unwilling to let themselves take root in a remote principality."

"This is also simple - in this case, we will donate generously and set up a special fund first. Then tell them that as long as they get married in the future, no matter who the partner is, we can give them a one-time subsidy, which is enough for their first few years. Years of living expenses are required, and we can also promise that we will give priority to finding suitable marriage partners for them once we return to France."

Then she smiled again, "I'm afraid it's not convenient for you to come forward in person for these trivial matters, so let me handle them. When the time comes, I will personally come to propose marriage for them. I believe it will save our face and I won't humiliate them. "

In this era, people have long been accustomed to separating marriage and private life. For the nobles, marriage is more like a social contract than an emotional exchange. There is almost no room for love - like Trey There are very few people who would risk everything to marry the one they love.

Not only these young people, but even those families who were married by Aigron, I am afraid that most people will only feel honored, because they have received the favor of the two majesties, which is very honorable.

And there is financial support.

Presumably there is nothing else anyone else can say about such generous conditions.

"Those without families have no burdens and dare to work hard, but their sense of belonging is not strong enough. If we find a suitable partner for them and help them start a family and start a business, they will surely be more loyal to us." Finally, Theresa concluded, then looked at Aigron, "Your Highness, what do you think of my idea?"

"No problem, I think it's fine." Aigron thought for a moment, then nodded happily. "So be it, Teresa, you are right, we should always take care of our subordinates, just like maintaining our own weapons, because they are the source of our strength..."

He could also see that part of the reason why Theresa was so active in this matter was that she wanted to win people's hearts and establish her authority, but he didn't care about this kind of thing - after all, Theresa was his wife. She is also the most important partner in his business. It is only natural that she should be responsible for these things. Why should he object? Besides, if he didn't let Teresa do this kind of thing of giving favors and winning people's hearts, who else could he let do it?

He would be happy to see his wife establish a solid influence and let the French accept another Austrian princess as their queen, instead of being treated indifferently by the people like his mother.

He believes that with the efforts of his couple, they will be loved and cheered by the people in the future, and no one can do it better.
