Eagle’s Glory

"The murderer knows her?"

No one answered Aiglon's question. Andre and the other guards looked at each other. After all, they had no clue about all this.

On the contrary, after Agnes heard this question, she thought of something as if she had a flash of inspiration.

She was so shaken by the tragic situation of her master that her mind almost went blank, but now she finally calmed down a little, and the doubts that Aiglon had just discovered gradually inspired her.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her guess at Aiglon was reasonable, so she suddenly answered loudly.

"Maybe it is!"

Her cry attracted Agron's attention, "Agnes, do you have any guesses?"

Agnes was about to answer, but quickly stopped and looked around hesitantly. machinery

"You guys go out." Aigron understood immediately, and then waved his hand to signal his guards to leave first.

"Your Majesty...under the current circumstances, we can't..." Andre was still hesitant.

Although they had searched this place several times and were not worried about any danger, he still felt uneasy about leaving His Majesty alone at the crime scene.

"Get out!" Aigron increased his volume.

He was already in a bad mood, but now he was too lazy to be nice.

Andre had no choice but to salute Aiglon and then exit the room.

"Agnes, what did you find?" Agron asked after everyone else had left. machinery

"I've heard all the doubts you mentioned, and I think they make sense." Agnes replied in a low voice, "Maybe... maybe it was the master's friend who did it!"

"Which friend?" Aigron suddenly became energetic.

Agnes hesitated in the end. After all, she was very unwilling to break the agreement between herself and her master and tell the truth.

However, the master's life or death is now uncertain, so what's the point of taking care of it? What's more, this "friend" is most likely the murderer who wants to silence the master.

If he is really the one who did this to his friend,

What reason is there to protect him!

Agnes made a determined effort and broke through her own spiritual defense.

"Master once had a savior named Gao Dan, and it was that benefactor who commissioned her to assassinate you..."

Then, she briefly relayed the past events she heard from Bianca to Agron, and finally expressed her conclusion, "The master has always told me that she felt guilty, and even thought about dying to apologize many times. I think...if that guy sneaks in here and finds her, the master will definitely not resist, she will let him do it, so...so..."

"That's why she didn't resist and allowed the other party to execute him. In her opinion, this was to atone for her sins, right?" Aigron asked in return.

"Yes." Agnes nodded.

The two people's eyes met, and everything clicked. Aiglon also believes that this is most likely the truth.

Moreover, the information can be verified by two parties. Aigron was deeply impressed by "Gaodan". It was he who came to visit him at Schonbrunn Palace and offered him a large sum of money every year in exchange for supporting the Duke of Orleans. .

After failing to bribe him, he turned to the killer. This guy is quite a ruthless character... Aigron thought to himself.

However, even after knowing that the other party almost put him to death, Aigron was not angry - everyone was his own master. Since he was serving the Duke of Orleans, trying to get rid of him would prove his loyalty, so there was no reason to blame him. Woolen cloth? machinery

Although I don't know how that guy sneaked into Fontainebleau, I am just here for the first time, and the palace has just begun to rebuild. There must be countless loopholes, so it is normal for him to sneak in.

Forget it, now is not the time to think about this, Aigron began to weigh his current situation.

Bianca's life and death are now uncertain, and she will definitely not be able to attend the hearing. This is indeed a loss, but if you think about it carefully, now that you have learned the whole truth, there is no "false accusation" against the Duke of Orleans. Everything has been done. Now that I have solid evidence, I can hold the other party accountable more confidently.

As for the lack of evidence, the worst case scenario would be to turn this matter into an unsolved case. Anyway, the person whose reputation will be damaged will not be you.

When he thought of this, his original angry mood eased slightly.

However, he remained calm on the surface, just frowning slightly and looking at the girl in front of him. "You're hiding it pretty well. I underestimated you...if it hadn't been for tonight's murder, you probably planned to keep hiding it from me, right?"

"I'm sorry..." Agnes's face was full of shame, "The master didn't let me say it, so I had to hide it, and I felt very uncomfortable... So, watching you let Prosecutor Villefort discover the truth on his own, who am I to compare? I'm all happy, because then I don't have to bear the guilt of my conscience..."

Seeing Agnes's apologetic and pitiful look, Agron was secretly amused. After all, if it were him, he would never have any conscience, because he had no conscience at all.

"You brought trouble to me, wasted my time, and also harmed your master... Just imagine, if you had told me earlier, would your master still have to suffer this disaster?" Aigron continued. He asked, "You only want to live up to both sides, but have you ever thought about whether your shoulders and abilities can bear this responsibility?"

Aigron's words were like a giant hammer hammering into the girl's heart, making her even more painful.

She didn't argue, because she felt that everything was true, and it was indeed her hesitation that had harmed everyone.

Why do things always get worse every time I try to do something good? She kept asking herself, can I really not do anything well? Will I only bring misfortune to others?

The huge psychological pressure almost caused her to collapse at this time. Her eyes were distracted. The good mood originally brought about by her birthday was gone. Only endless self-blame and guilt were left, and she even kept asking herself, "Am I alive?" What’s the point?”

But at this moment, in her trance, she heard the young man's words. machinery

"...But even so, I will still forgive you, Agnes. I will help you bear the responsibilities that you cannot bear, and I will take away all your pain for you...because I like you."

Agnes raised her head steadily and looked at the young man in front of her.

"You now have a chance to make up for your regrets." Aigron continued, "Now that guy is definitely running away to Paris, but he can't escape far in such a dark night; I have seen that guy and know his appearance. , you go and lead people to arrest him."

After finishing speaking, he carefully described Gao Dan's appearance and behavior in his memory.

Agnes listened quietly and looked directly at Agron. At this time, under the candlelight, the young man seemed to be exuding some kind of dazzling aura.

He never gets angry, forgives my mistakes, and helps me make up for all the bad mistakes... because he really likes me.

Even if she can't become his wife, so what? machinery

"Can you save her life?" She blinked.

"All I can say is try your best. The rest depends on her luck." Aigron shrugged, "However, her luck seems to be quite bad."

If it weren't for the wrong occasion, Agnes almost smiled bitterly. The master's luck was indeed extremely bad. He twice saw her lying in a pool of blood after being shot...

"You will definitely be able to save her, you can do it." She seemed to be saying to Aiglon, but also to herself, "And I am going to make up for my mistakes now."

"Then I wish you good luck, dear Miss Agnes." Aigron nodded.

Then he deliberately made a serious face, stretched out his hand and pinched Agnes's hot cheek, and then twisted it gently, "Just because I forgive you doesn't mean that I have forgotten this. I will punish you a lot afterwards." , will make you cry non-stop!”

Agnes was greatly embarrassed, but she had no idea of ​​resistance, "Now... isn't this the time to talk about this...?"

""

Then, he turned to look at the door again, "Andre!"

Andre, who was waiting at the door, immediately opened the door and rushed in, "Your Majesty, what are your instructions!"

"The two of us communicated and roughly confirmed who the murderer was." With other people present, Aigron's tone became stiff, "Agnes will go after him next. You must cooperate fully. Be sure to Bring him to justice!"

Although he said so, he didn't have such high hopes.

After all, all this is just speculation, there are other possibilities; and the other party has already escaped after committing the crime, so it is not that easy to catch him.

But it doesn't matter to him. If he can succeed, he will definitely make a lot of money; if he can't succeed, the current harvest is enough. Moreover, Agnes will also be full of guilt for herself, and she will be even more determined in the future. machinery

Andre hesitated for a moment, but did not question His Majesty's decision. He also agreed to give Miss Agnes a chance to "make mistakes" and was willing to cooperate with her.

"Okay, Your Majesty!"

After saying that, Agnes and Andre hurried out of the room, and the palace guards were also gathering their troops, preparing to start hunting for the murderer.

At this moment, the palace, which was originally sleeping due to the late night, also fell into a commotion.

After Aigron made the arrangements, he returned to his palace - at this moment, he also had to guard his own personal safety.

After he came back, Teresa had also learned about this, and then looked at Aiglon with concern.

When Teresa heard that a murder had occurred so close to her, it was impossible not to worry about it, but she was even more worried about her husband's safety. Although the two had quarreled over other things, she cared about her husband more than anyone else. life. machinery

"Your Highness, how is Ms. Bianca doing now?"

Because Bianca had left her husband seriously injured before, it was impossible for her to feel pity for Bianca, but now she also knew that Bianca's life was at stake, so she was naturally quite concerned.

"She is not dead yet, but she is seriously injured and needs rescue. It depends on her luck." Aigron briefly described what he had just seen and heard.

When she heard that Bianca was most likely sent by the Duke of Orleans to silence her, Teresa was not too surprised, because it was completely logical, but she could not help but be afraid of the future.

Being able to run over and kill Bianca with such arrogance, she is naturally capable of doing other things. How could Theresa be calm when she thought that her family might be under the gunpoint of the other party at any time?

"This man is so shameless! He sent someone to assassinate you before, and now he sends someone to silence you... As expected of a descendant of a regicide, he can only do some shady things! He doesn't deserve to be called a descendant of the royal family, and he doesn't No one deserves respect from anyone but a despicable criminal!”

Teresa, who was born into the orthodox royal family, was originally quite disdainful of both the Duke of Orleans and his son. Now she gritted her teeth with hatred, "When one day their family falls into our hands, we will look good on them!"

"That will have to wait until they are defeated." Aigron had calmed down from his violent mood just now. He calmly replied to his wife, "Now we have to deal with the aftermath first."

After all, Theresa had seen a lot of the world, so she didn't just immerse herself in her personal emotions and recovered quickly. "You're right...if they can run in, someone must be there to help them. We also have insiders lurking here."

At this moment, Alice also came over to ask for a meeting.

She had already fallen asleep with her daughter, but was awakened by the sudden commotion. Then she learned about the major events from the attendants sent by Teresa, and hurriedly got up and ran to the two majesties.

She was quickly summoned, and then saw Theresa with an angry look on her face, and Aigron who was uncertain.

"Alice, a very unfortunate incident just happened here." Theresa spoke first, "We all suspect that there is an insider here."

"Your Majesty, I feel deeply guilty for my dereliction of duty..." Alice quickly apologized to the couple. "I dare not beg for your Majesty's forgiveness. Please punish me for my mistakes..."

When Alice heard about this, her first reaction was that something was wrong, because this kind of case meant that someone in the palace was involved, and as the person in charge of personnel affairs, she would inevitably have to bear some responsibility.

So she hurriedly apologized. She knew that the more sincere she was to these two people, the more likely she would be to get their forgiveness.

"I can't blame you entirely." Aiglon sighed, "If we want to restore the palace in a hurry, some unscrupulous people will inevitably sneak in. This is also inevitable. After all, you can't distinguish everyone clearly. What’s more, they can also buy it with money.”

"Yes, not only are you responsible, I am also responsible, because I was the one who proposed the reconstruction of the palace, but neglected management, which caused trouble. What matters to us now is not to discuss the crime, but to make up for it as much as possible." Theresa also Excusing Alice, "Next, you strictly scrutinize everyone, whether they are attendants or guards, not even the cooks. Be sure to check the background of everyone. If there is anything suspicious, arrest first. "

Teresa gently stroked her slightly bulging belly, seeming to draw strength from her second child, "The same thing must not happen again. We can't have similar omissions again. What's the matter with you?" Report them all to me and I will handle them personally. Don’t worry about me, I have enough energy.”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Alice agreed immediately.
