Eagle’s Glory

7. Doubts and signs

With Alice's deliberate compliments and heartfelt suggestions, Teresa had a very good conversation with her, and the original feeling of uneasiness in her heart about coming to "a place where there was no one around her" was gradually eliminated. \u003c/p\u003e

Theresa believed that Alice, who was smart and a native of France, could also become her adviser in the future and become one of the media between her and the people. \u003c/p\u003e

It is not difficult to become the Queen of France. As long as her husband becomes the emperor, he will automatically get this title. However, to become a queen loved by the people, Teresa knows that she still has a long way to go. She can only maintain her determination at all times. Be respectful and fearless, and play the role of a good queen with sincere kindness. \u003c/p\u003e

Not because she loves this title, but for the sake of her husband and son, she must convince everyone that she deserves this title. \u003c/p\u003e

While Teresa and Alice were having a cordial conversation outside, Agnes happened to end her conversation with Agron and quickly walked out of the room. \u003c/p\u003e

Theresa's eyes were immediately attracted by Agnes' figure, and she silently looked at the girl not far away. \u003c/p\u003e

At this time, Agnes was already in a state of confusion due to Agron's squeeze and the "sincerity" she was forced to make. Her steps were erratic. She was not at all in her usual demeanor, even as if she was "escape". . \u003c/p\u003e

And on her face, there was both the resentment of being forced and the shyness of a girl, making people wonder what she had just experienced. \u003c/p\u003e

The only thing that gave Teresa some comfort was that Agnes's clothes were still intact... Having said that, based on her usual experience with her husband, if the two of them had really done that shamelessly just now, If anything, it wouldn't be done so quickly. \u003c/p\u003e

Wait, Teresa, where did you go? Teresa realized that she was a little confused, so she hurriedly calmed down. \u003c/p\u003e

She was a little upset in her heart, and even couldn't laugh or cry. \u003c/p\u003e

In short, for Theresa, Agnes's existence did threaten her self-confidence, and she could feel Agron's affection for Agnes. \u003c/p\u003e

But in the final analysis, it was because she cared too much about her union with His Highness - if it wasn't because she cared too much and she was just doing her own thing like other noble families, how could she care about such a "little thing"? \u003c/p\u003e

The appearance of Agnes,

Naturally, Alice noticed it immediately, and she immediately saw that Princess Theresa beside her was a little confused. \u003c/p\u003e

She was jealous of Agnes... The last time she was in Switzerland, Alice noticed this because Theresa made a scene at the country dance, and this time she felt it more intuitively. \u003c/p\u003e

However, last time Agnes was pure and innocent. She could clearly be in the limelight but was ruthlessly suppressed by Theresa. But this time, to be honest, Alice herself could understand that Agnes suddenly went out of her way and ignored His Majesty when she saw him. To avoid suspicion, ask for summons alone, no wonder others have other ideas. \u003c/p\u003e

Although Agnes did not reveal her thoughts to her sister, Alice could guess something - it must be about Bianca. \u003c/p\u003e

But she knows that does not mean that Princess Theresa knows. If Theresa sees what Agnes does, she will only have misunderstanding or even disgust. This is definitely not a situation that Alice wants to see, because that would This will greatly affect Agnes's future prospects - if she is hated by Her Majesty the Queen, how can anyone in the upper class dare to approach this young girl? \u003c/p\u003e

However, how should we resolve this dangerous situation? \u003c/p\u003e

Logically speaking, as long as the matter is explained clearly and there is no selfishness, Princess Teresa will no longer be jealous, but that will expose the entire truth of the Bianca incident, and he will be in the middle to manipulate the situation. The fact that Princess Theresa was deceived will also be exposed, and that will also bring unfathomable disaster. \u003c/p\u003e

So this is like a dead end, going left will cause disaster, and going right will also cause disaster. Even with Alice's intelligence, she can't think of a way to get the best of both worlds, so she doesn't know what to do for a while. \u003c/p\u003e

While the two of them were thinking about their own thoughts, Agnes had already rushed to the side of them. \u003c/p\u003e

"Miss Agnes." Theresa gathered her energy and then called Agnes. \u003c/p\u003e

Only then did Agnes, who was in a state of confusion, notice that Teresa and her sister were actually here, so she quickly stopped. \u003c/p\u003e

"Your Highness..." Agnes just wanted to say this habitual title smoothly, but suddenly realized that something was wrong and immediately changed her words, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry that I lost my temper."\u003c/p\u003e

"It's okay, everyone is in a bad mood sometimes." Teresa shook her head and said she didn't mind, "But what did you talk about with my husband just now? Why did you look so lost after you came out? Could it be that Did he do something rude?"\u003c/p\u003e

"No..." Agnes quickly denied, "Your Majesty's attitude towards me is very...very good."\u003c/p\u003e

It was obvious that he had been bullied, but now he had to help others to smooth things over. This feeling was naturally unpleasant. \u003c/p\u003e

When facing Teresa, she felt inferior for the first time, which made her extremely uncomfortable. \u003c/p\u003e

In the past, she had a clear conscience when faced with Teresa's jealousy, but now she could only feel guilty, and because of her guilty conscience, she felt even more ashamed of herself. The confused girl now has no idea how to face the current predicament and can only choose to go with the flow. \u003c/p\u003e

"Very good?" Teresa remained calm on the surface, but when she saw Agnes's performance, she naturally didn't believe it at all. "Then what exactly were you talking about just now? I'm a little curious. Is there anything worthy of your sudden mention? Talk to him alone."\u003c/p\u003e

"I just asked him for help with something...I can't tell you about my personal matters." Agnes replied with a wry smile. Because she didn't want to implicate her sister, she simply chose to keep it secret. \u003c/p\u003e

Then, in order to change the subject, she continued smoothly, "By the way, His Majesty also gave me a task just now. He hopes that I can accompany the female students after everyone is dispatched to ensure that you safety."\u003c/p\u003e

Agnes was really not good at lying or prevaricating to others. Of course, she couldn't escape Theresa's eyes by changing the subject so clumsily. \u003c/p\u003e

Teresa had more doubts in her heart, but now that Agnes chose to escape and conceal, she could only stop. \u003c/p\u003e

Questioning or accusing her face to face is tantamount to acting rude, which is too embarrassing and definitely not something she should do. \u003c/p\u003e

Besides, at the moment, we still have to focus on major matters, and we really can’t create irrelevant matters to disrupt everyone’s career. \u003c/p\u003e

However, even though she was the victim, she still had to swallow her anger and pretend that nothing happened. This feeling made Teresa feel very uncomfortable, so in the end she glanced at Agnes indifferently, nodded, and accepted. the other party's response. \u003c/p\u003e

"I have seen your skills. If you can be by our side, we, mother and son, will be safe. We will rely on you from now on."\u003c/p\u003e

Next, she left without saying a word. \u003c/p\u003e

Looking at Theresa's leaving back, Agnes didn't feel anything. She was just glad that she got through. However, Alice's social experience was much higher than that of her sister, but she could detect that Theresa was at this moment. The displeasure and irritation in my heart. \u003c/p\u003e

To be honest, she didn't blame Theresa. On the one hand, Princess Theresa was indeed very good to her and had never expressed her anger. Secondly, there was indeed a reason for Theresa to be angry today. \u003c/p\u003e

But just letting it go is not an option. We must find a way to bridge their relationship, Alice thought to herself. \u003c/p\u003e

===========================\u003c/p\u003e

After the brief preparations, Aigron and his team re-dressed. \u003c/p\u003e

This time, he absorbed some soldiers who were willing to surrender and supporters who heard the news, so the team more than doubled when he first set foot on French territory. \u003c/p\u003e

It is conceivable that as they continue to move forward, this team will expand even more, growing bigger and bigger like a snowball until they are under the city of Paris. \u003c/p\u003e

However, before leaving, Aigron had another important task to do. \u003c/p\u003e

He asked someone to bring the mayor of the town of Annemasse, who was previously imprisoned in the military camp, in front of him. Together with the mayor, there were also the mayors of several nearby towns - including the former No. The small town of Evian where the Duke of Derien was recuperating. \u003c/p\u003e

These town mayors are all elected by the local residents themselves, and they can barely be called local celebrities. Some of them are quite wealthy, owning a large amount of land and industry, and their daily lives are extremely comfortable. \u003c/p\u003e

However, a small place is a small place after all. Although these people can usually thrive in such a closed place, they rarely have access to the outside world. Even high-ranking officials may not have seen them a few times, let alone qualified people. Aiglon went to fight for the position of supreme ruler. \u003c/p\u003e

Because of this, after being brought in front of Aigron, even though they were facing only a young man, everyone had earth-colored faces and were trembling with fear, fearing that someone might accidentally anger Aigron and bring death to themselves. \u003c/p\u003e

Aiglon could understand their mood, and because of this, he deliberately put on an approachable and gentle face. \u003c/p\u003e

These little people are not worthy of the "powerful spirit" he exudes to intimidate them. \u003c/p\u003e

Accompanying him was Duke Nordlyen. Since the Duke came here to recuperate, he had recently participated in many social activities in this area, so most of the town mayors also knew him. Even those who didn't know him, they knew him. I have already been reminded by others. \u003c/p\u003e

After the mayors were brought, Aigron finally spoke. \u003c/p\u003e

"I am very happy to meet you, but I am also sorry to meet you in this way. You are all local sages, and I think you are deeply respected by the villagers. If possible, I would like to have a few drinks with you. Cup, I can learn some experience in dealing with the villagers from you... But unfortunately, time is very precious for me now, so I can only let go of this idea, but I believe that when I get to Paris in the future, I will When I have time, I can entertain you all as guests again, and then you can speak freely."\u003c/p\u003e

After saying this opening statement, Aigron directly stated his true purpose, "Because you have already proven through your own abilities that you are deeply trusted and are qualified local officials, so after we leave, I You will still be appointed as local left-behind officials, but accordingly, you must also swear allegiance to the Bonaparte family."\u003c/p\u003e

Aigron's words made the mayors look embarrassed. \u003c/p\u003e

Although none of them have any dislike for the Bonaparte family (anyone who is on the stage in Paris pays taxes and is an official), they all know that this young man is embarking on an adventure at this time. What is the success rate? No one could tell Gao, maybe he would be captured or shot dead on the road within a few days. \u003c/p\u003e

I was living a comfortable life, but suddenly I had to work with this young man, accept his "fake job", and risk my family's wealth and life with him. No normal person would be happy, right? \u003c/p\u003e

It's a pity that Aigron doesn't care whether they are happy or not, and he doesn't intend to give the mayors a choice. \u003c/p\u003e

Now that the mayors have been controlled by him, they can only accept his mercy. \u003c/p\u003e

Of course, he shouldn't have said this, so he winked at the Duke and motioned for him to speak. \u003c/p\u003e

Duke Nordlyon also understood it. \u003c/p\u003e

Although he was not happy about playing such a "dog leg" role, he had no choice at this moment. His whole family had been tied to death on the Bonaparte family's warship, and he had no chance to jump off the ship. At this moment, he can either achieve great success or be doomed. There is no other way to go. \u003c/p\u003e

Since there is no retreat, it is better to work hard so that we can give ourselves and our children and grandchildren a bright future. \u003c/p\u003e

Because of this awareness, the Duke showed unprecedented energy and looked at the mayors with murderous intent. \u003c/p\u003e

"Everyone, His Majesty entrusts you with such an important task precisely because of his recognition of your ability and loyalty. Next, as long as you can maintain local order for His Majesty, you will have made a contribution to the new empire. This Your contribution will become the capital for your future merit-based rewards. How can you not shed tears of gratitude when faced with His Majesty’s kindness?”\u003c/p\u003e

Then, after the inducement, he hinted at the threat murderously, "If someone doesn't understand your majesty's painstaking efforts and insists on going against your majesty, then I will be the first to stand it. I will never tolerate this kind of rat." Treasonous behavior on both ends!"\u003c/p\u003e

Although this kind of words sounded so ironic to the ears of the mayors, no one dared to refute it - because they knew that if they showed a slight resistance at this time, blood would definitely be spilled on the spot immediately, and they would probably even My family can't save it. \u003c/p\u003e

Moreover, the Duke's generous speech also gave them a psychological level. \u003c/p\u003e

They all know that nobles like the Duke have taken refuge, so what can they do even if they "sell themselves out"? \u003c/p\u003e

If he failed, he would have gambled with his life and property. At most, he would lose his property, so there was nothing to be afraid of. \u003c/p\u003e

In this way, under the "broken window effect", the Duke's betrayal set an example for others, and the town mayors did not dare to resist at all, and signed letters of allegiance one after another, and received the appointment of Aigron - from now on From now on, they will be officials of the empire. \u003c/p\u003e

Aigron naturally plans to follow the rules in the future. The Duke's signature role can still be put to full use at least in this remote place. \u003c/p\u003e
