Eagle’s Glory

Three hundred and seventeen, burying the hatchet

Seeing that Xia Lu and Charlotte were so harmonious, these elders were happy but also a little relieved. \u003c/p\u003e

For the Marquis of Treville, what he values ​​most is the inheritance of his family. Like his brother, he is deceitful, ruthless, and uses all kinds of vicious methods towards Weir. He never has any mercy, but he cherishes his family very much. He gave his remaining true feelings. \u003c/p\u003e

If it weren't for this true love, he wouldn't have been so doting and tolerant of Edgar. \u003c/p\u003e

Therefore, he extremely hoped that his and his brother's two family branches could still love each other and be closely united in the future. Although it was a pity that Xia Lu was a girl, maybe marriage could still be possible within the family in the future. \u003c/p\u003e

Of course, this is all a story for another day. The most important thing at the moment is to ensure that you cut your own share of the cake in the upcoming turmoil. \u003c/p\u003e

With the arrival of Charlotte, preparations for the Marquis of Treville and his family to evacuate have also come to an end. Although Alice has a rift with her father-in-law, the family's fortune and life are at stake, and she has also taken full caution to prepare. . \u003c/p\u003e

Before leaving, she still had one most important wish to fulfill. \u003c/p\u003e

She came to her natal home alone. \u003c/p\u003e

Compared with usual, this place is much more deserted - firstly, because of the previous bankruptcy incident, which scared away the friends who used to hang out; secondly, the Duke is ill and has gone to the south to recuperate, so there are only a few visitors. \u003c/p\u003e

As soon as she entered the door, she made it clear that she wanted to find Agnes. \u003c/p\u003e

Different from the last visit, this time she didn't wait too long. Agnes came to the reception room to meet her soon. \u003c/p\u003e

When the two sisters met again, they were neither as close as before nor as tense as they had been not long ago. This time, it could only be described as "subtle". \u003c/p\u003e

With the help of Alice, Agnes met her master and confirmed that his life was not in danger for the time being. Therefore, her hatred for her sister also faded a lot, but if she wanted to say she completely forgives her, she She couldn't do it, so in front of her sister, she could only choose silence in embarrassment. \u003c/p\u003e

Fortunately, Alice didn't want to get angry with her sister again, but directly stated her intention.

\u003c/p\u003e

"Agnes, how is dad over there now? Is there any news?"\u003c/p\u003e

Agnes had no intention of hiding this issue. \u003c/p\u003e

"After Dad settled down, he sent us a letter to report that he was safe. He first met the man, and then quietly returned to the country. He is now in a small town called Evian, which is near the Swiss border, on the shores of Lake Geneva, and there are The prestigious mineral spa, where he rested his body and waited..."\u003c/p\u003e

She didn't specify what to expect, but Alice certainly knew it. \u003c/p\u003e

She knew better that with her father's mediocre talent, he would not be able to do anything big in the future, but if he could take the lead and gain an advantage, he would be indispensable for high-ranking officials and generous salaries in the future, even as a signboard. \u003c/p\u003e

However, her father's future has little to do with her after all. If she wants to realize her ideal of not being manipulated by others, she still has to fight on her own. \u003c/p\u003e

"When are you planning to leave?" After a moment's pause, she asked her sister. \u003c/p\u003e

"I don't know. We plan to wait for dad's notification." Agnes shook her head, "But we are already making corresponding preparations."\u003c/p\u003e

To be honest, she was also worried about this. She was not worried about herself, but worried that if she suddenly fell into chaos, it would be too bad if something happened to her family. \u003c/p\u003e

"Dad is so far away from us now, and the delay in message delivery is too great. I don't think you can wait here, otherwise it will be too late by the time you receive his notification." Alice pointed out one of the Dilemma. \u003c/p\u003e

"Then what do you think we should do?" Agnes asked. \u003c/p\u003e

"My father-in-law has urged me and Edgar to leave together." Alice spread her hands and spoke out her thoughts, "So, I will discuss it with the count, and then our couple will leave Paris. If you If you think there is no problem, then come with us, and we will go to father together."\u003c/p\u003e

"Are you planning to leave now?" Agnes was slightly surprised. \u003c/p\u003e

Although she is not politically sensitive, she is not stupid either. Since her sister is busy escaping and evacuating, it obviously means that the storm is approaching, and she knows what this means. \u003c/p\u003e

Desire and ambition will collide and stir crazily in this city, creating tragedies and victims. She can do nothing about it and can only pray that her family will not become a victim. \u003c/p\u003e

Agnes sighed secretly, then stopped making meaningless sighs and returned her attention to her sister. \u003c/p\u003e

"You want to go with us to join our father...?"\u003c/p\u003e

"Don't you want to?" Alice asked. \u003c/p\u003e

"Of course I have no objection..." Agnes quickly denied, "I'm just worried that Dad won't want to..."\u003c/p\u003e

"I can solve this problem myself." Alice smiled slightly, "As long as you don't resist coming with us."\u003c/p\u003e

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo Reading to catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. It can be used on both Android and Apple. 】\u003c/p\u003e

"When have I ever refused to protect you and your children?" Agnes rolled her eyes at her sister. "If my father doesn't agree, then I will do the same."\u003c/p\u003e

In this glance, there was too much grievance and helplessness, but there was also a little bit of relief. \u003c/p\u003e

"Aren't you angry with me anymore?" Alice asked quietly. \u003c/p\u003e

"How is that possible! I'm still very angry now, very angry! However, being angry again can't change the fact that you are my sister." Agnes also replied in a low voice, "Even if I am angry, when you and your family are in danger I should also try my best to help you when the time comes, and it won’t be too late to get angry after everything is done..."\u003c/p\u003e

"Agnes..."\u003c/p\u003e

Although she had known that Agnes would reply in the affirmative, Alice was still deeply moved after hearing her heartfelt words. \u003c/p\u003e

Her father hates her and alienates her, her father-in-law despises her and is jealous of her, her husband cheats on her and betrays her, and in circles, the only person who doesn't expect anything in return and only has good intentions for her is this sister. \u003c/p\u003e

And it was this sister who was stabbed in the heart by me... I am really an ugly person. \u003c/p\u003e

The joy and guilt almost broke her defenses, and she finally regained her composure. \u003c/p\u003e

Then, she didn't say too much, but took steps, approached her sister, and then opened her arms. \u003c/p\u003e

Agnes didn't hide, she just stood there quietly. \u003c/p\u003e

Then, the two sisters hugged each other. This was the first time the two of them had been so close since the Bianca incident. \u003c/p\u003e

"Agnes, thank you." Alice hugged her sister tightly and thanked her. \u003c/p\u003e

Agnes didn't speak, just hugged quietly. \u003c/p\u003e

Her sister has used her before and may use her again in the future. She knows this very well, but even so, she can't let go of this sisterly love. \u003c/p\u003e

After all, if she could let go so easily, she wouldn't be who she is. \u003c/p\u003e

"I just have something else I want to ask you for help with." After a moment, Agnes spoke again. \u003c/p\u003e

It was rare that her sister actually asked for something, and Alice immediately cheered up, "What do you want me to do?"\u003c/p\u003e

"It's still about the master." Agnes replied softly, "She is now locked in a dark room. Although there is no danger to her life, this kind of life will soon kill her, so... I want to When I saw him later, I begged him for mercy and asked him to show his kindness once more. If you are willing, could you also give me a few words?"\u003c/p\u003e

Alice hesitated. To be honest, this kind of request was not good for her. After all, the "crime" committed by Bianca was not a joke. However, she could not find the heart to refuse her sister's request at this time. \u003c/p\u003e

That's all, just try your best anyway. If it's really irreversible, it's Bianca's fault. It's not her responsibility anyway. \u003c/p\u003e

So she nodded and agreed to her sister's request. "Okay, if you need it, I will help you intercede. However, I think it may be difficult."\u003c/p\u003e

"No matter how difficult it is, you have to try. I made a guarantee with the master before that I will definitely save her life and give her freedom!" Agnes replied with a smile. "For my final reputation, I will try my best. Even if it means kneeling down to beg for mercy, I will do it."\u003c/p\u003e

Looking at her sister's smile, Alice was slightly surprised. She could clearly detect that her sister's temperament was different compared to before, a little less innocent and a little more decisive. \u003c/p\u003e

Maybe the catalysis of those previous events made her grow up too. \u003c/p\u003e

As for whether this growth was good or bad, she couldn't tell. \u003c/p\u003e

According to her previous plan, she originally planned to take advantage of the time lag before Agnes went to the appointment to deal with Bianca, and then cause Bianca to "disappear". In that case, even if her sister doubted herself, she would have no evidence and would be deceiving herself. room. \u003c/p\u003e

Unexpectedly, Bianca's stubborn resistance ultimately delayed time, and Agnes arrived on the scene - her plan was subsequently ruined, and irreparable rifts appeared between the sisters. \u003c/p\u003e

Even if she wanted to remedy it next, it would be difficult to make up for this rift - it might be ignored for the time being, but it would never disappear. \u003c/p\u003e

But even so, she still wanted to make amends - at least, make amends without affecting her future. \u003c/p\u003e

"I will also try my best to make your wishes come true." She solemnly made a promise to her sister. "I don't sympathize with her for being in this state. It's all her own fault, but for your sake, I can help. But I can't guarantee how much we can do...Agnes, if our efforts are ultimately If it’s all in vain, will you still hate me?”\u003c/p\u003e

"I...won't hate you." Agnes replied with a smile. "I forgive you because I can't let go of my ties to you. Are you satisfied with this answer?"\u003c/p\u003e

This smile was not so much understanding as it was relief after letting go of everything. She had already made up her mind before that if she failed to rescue the master, she would pay for it with her own life. If this was the case, then why should she hate him anymore? Everything has been canceled out. \u003c/p\u003e

Alice didn't know what her sister really meant, so at that moment, she was so moved that she couldn't speak. \u003c/p\u003e

"Thank you..."\u003c/p\u003e

Then the two of them hugged each other again. \u003c/p\u003e

No matter what, although there were some cracks in the relationship between the sisters, they were eventually reunited. \u003c/p\u003e

--------------------------\u003c/p\u003e

The next day, Agnes ran to her sister to visit her and prepare for her final escape. \u003c/p\u003e

This was her first visit to her sister's house after many days, but the welcome she received was the same as before. \u003c/p\u003e

Just like in the past, the first thing Agnes did when she came over was to play with Xia Lu. \u003c/p\u003e

But this time, she found not only Xia Lu's child, but also a little girl of the same age. \u003c/p\u003e

Agnes had long known about Charlotte's arrival from her sister, and now that she saw Charlotte, she immediately looked at her carefully. \u003c/p\u003e

Then, she nodded and came to a conclusion. \u003c/p\u003e

"She is indeed Xia Lu's cousin. At least I recognize her appearance!"\u003c/p\u003e

To be honest, although she was quite disdainful of Edgar's personality and conduct, Agnes couldn't find anything wrong with his appearance and demeanor. Now looking at Charlotte, she can only say that the Treville family Her genetics are indeed good. \u003c/p\u003e

Because she was happy, she simply walked up to the two cousins ​​and prepared to pick them up. \u003c/p\u003e

She was much stronger than other girls of the same age, so she easily lifted the cousins ​​up with one hand and then kissed them on the cheek. \u003c/p\u003e

Xia Lu was already used to her aunt's intimacy, so she didn't have any resistance. Instead, she smiled and became intimate with her aunt. \u003c/p\u003e

But Charlotte was different. On the one hand, she didn't know Agnes. On the other hand, she had always been doted on by her elders and had a much bigger temper than Charlotte. So after she suddenly fell into Agnes' hands, she immediately He resisted violently and tried to bite Agnes while struggling. \u003c/p\u003e

But for the agile Agnes, Charlotte's resistance was so weak. She moved her face leisurely to avoid Charlotte's bite attacks; she also giggled and had a great time. Huh. \u003c/p\u003e

"These two little things are really cute." Then she showed off to her sister. \u003c/p\u003e

Seeing her sister's appearance, Alice was also a little bit dumbfounded. \u003c/p\u003e

"What are you doing bullying these kids..."\u003c/p\u003e

"How can you call it bullying?" Agnes retorted, "I'm just keeping in touch with them. You see how much fun we have."\u003c/p\u003e

"Why are you so happy..." Alice pointed at Charlotte, with a hateful expression on her face because she couldn't resist, "Be careful, she is our guest, and she was entrusted to us by her grandfather. Yes, it would be a shame for us if she was wronged."\u003c/p\u003e

"Are you going to take her away with you?" Agnes asked. \u003c/p\u003e

"Of course we will take her with us." Alice replied, "She should live with us in the next few years."\u003c/p\u003e

Hearing this, Agnes couldn't help but look at Charlotte with a little more affection. \u003c/p\u003e

After all, even if they have enough food and clothing, it is a growing pain for a child to be away from his parents since childhood. \u003c/p\u003e

"Then I will take more care of her from now on. Maybe she can also be my apprentice!" Then she said excitedly. "Looking at her quick movements and strong temper, I think she's quite suitable!"\u003c/p\u003e

Alice was speechless again. \u003c/p\u003e

"Why have you become just like your master? If you want an apprentice so much, why don't you just give birth to one yourself?"\u003c/p\u003e

"You're wrong. If you don't have something ready-made, why are you gambling on luck? If you feel unsatisfied after giving birth, can you still stuff it back?" Agnes retorted. \u003c/p\u003e

"How could your child be bad?" Alice looked disapproving. "Besides, you can try a few more times. Then keep having children until you are satisfied with them."\u003c/p \u003e

"Hey, what do you think I am?!" Agnes protested to her sister in shame and anger. \u003c/p\u003e

After saying that, both sisters were made to laugh. \u003c/p\u003e

As they talked and laughed, their original grudges and resentments were temporarily dispelled by laughter, and all the difficulties and obstacles they had to face seemed to be out of the question. \u003c/p\u003e

In the early morning of the next day, the two families quietly left the city of Paris, then met up outside the city and rushed towards the small town of Evian, a hot spring resort on the Swiss border. \u003c/p\u003e
