Eagle’s Glory

"Your Majesty... No matter what mistakes I make, the child is innocent after all. If you want to deal with it, just deal with me... I just ask you to spare him!"

Facing the pleading Princess Kadiyang, Aigron couldn't help but feel a feeling of "I feel pity for her".

After all, he didn't think that the princess had committed any crime. Although she was a married woman and had no relationship with her lover, in this country, this kind of thing was not a big deal. Even if she gave birth to an illegitimate child, as long as she If you don't show it publicly, no one will take it seriously.

If this is called a "mistake", wouldn't Aigron himself have been completely wrong a long time ago?

"Madam, you are worrying too much." Aigron waved his hand to signal the other party not to be so nervous, "I will not be so bored as to target a child, and I don't even have any ill intentions towards you..."

Of course the princess would not completely believe what he said - since he had directly kidnapped himself, how could he still say "no malice"?

But judging from the attitude of the King of Rome, it seemed that he really didn't want to embarrass his illegitimate son, so she felt a little relieved.

"Actually, I have never met your son - but I know his whereabouts." Seeing that she had calmed down a little, Aigron added.

"Then where is he? How is he now?" The princess immediately became excited again.

"He is now taken away by Duke Treville and is exiled with the royal family." Aiglon told the truth.

"What?" This news made the princess feel a little incredible.

She knew that the Duke of Treville was Edgar's uncle, but logically speaking, even if the Duke knew about it, he wouldn't care about it, and there was no need to care about an illegitimate son who had never seen the light of day. This really didn't make sense.

"Why did he do this?" She couldn't help but ask Aigron.

Aigron paused, not that he had any hesitation, but that he needed to organize his words before he could explain all this to the princess.

"Duke Treville only did this kind of thing under the entrustment of his younger brother, so to be precise, it was Edgar's father who specifically wanted to control Yinzeril in his hands."

"Then what's the purpose of this?" The princess was completely confused and subconsciously asked Aigron again.

Aigron didn't show off, either.

Instead, he told the princess roughly the plan of the Marquis of Treville.

Although this was "selling out" his good subordinate, the Marquis de Treville, Aiglon had no psychological burden at all - after all, the princess was the child's mother, so telling a mother the whereabouts of her son was not morally right. Woolen cloth?

This bizarre story made the princess widen her eyes.

"In other words, the Marquis of Treville is worried that he has no legitimate descendants, so he wants to use Yin Zha as a candidate?" Although the princess's thoughts were a little confused, she finally understood everything.

"Yes, you can say that." Aigron nodded, "Although his idea is a bit ridiculous, but... considering the contribution he has made to me, I agreed to his request."

The princess was speechless for a moment, and obviously she didn't know how to evaluate this matter.

First of all, as a mother, she certainly hopes that her only child will have a better future, and if he can become the actual successor of the Marquis of Treville, then he can be said to have gotten the best in his life. There's a way out.

Even if Mrs. Alice gives birth to a legal heir, Yin Zerel will at least be recognized as a distant relative of the Treville family. In the future, he can use this long-standing and noble surname and become an upright noble.

Wouldn't that be great? Anyway, she didn't see any harm in it.

Moreover, now that she knows all this, she also believes that her son's personal safety will be fine - after all, the Treville family does not dare to let him make any mistakes now.

Now that she had understood all this, she was no longer anxious, and most of her original fear of facing Aiglon had disappeared.

"Thank you for telling me all this, Your Majesty." She saluted Aiglon carefully, and then asked, "Then what do you want me to do?"

"Madam, first of all, please tell me, are you opposed to this plan?" Aigron asked.

"As a mother, I have no objection to the plan of the Marquis of Treville... After all, who wouldn't want such a famous family name? If my son is really lucky enough to inherit this family business, he will definitely have a bright future. "The princess pondered for a moment, and then answered him, "However, I also understand that what he did is a bit shocking, so if you feel that it is too inappropriate, you can sabotage this plan, and I will never blame you. To tell you the truth, although I have always been a squanderer, I still have a lot of savings by inheriting the inheritance from my ancestors. Even if I cannot give Yin Zha a noble title, it will still be nothing to allow him to live a wealthy life. Difficult, it would be great if he could get the protection of his father and ancestors, but if he can't get it, he can still live well..."

The princess's answer came from the bottom of her heart, but she also had a sense of reserve. Although she was in a dangerous place with unpredictable fortunes, she still showed some of the demeanor that a princess should have.

"That's very well said, ma'am." Aigron couldn't help but praise. "Then it means that if Marquis Treville really wants to implement his plan, you will not object, let alone obstruct it, right?"

"Yes, how could I harm my son?" The princess nodded, "However, as far as I am concerned, I think it is enough as long as my son has such a legal identity. You can't covet their family property... Miss Xia Lu is also Edgar's biological daughter, if she loses everything because of me, I will feel sorry for myself."

The princess's attitude is quite clear. She is happy to see her son "converted" and become a formal member of the Treville family. However, as long as she has a legal identity and name, she is satisfied, and she has no intention of letting her son intercept the money that was originally supposed to be given to him. Property belonging to legitimate children.

The princess's answer actually made Aigron find an idea - he himself had not thought about how to deal with the Treville family's family affairs, because both the Marquis of Treville and Lady Alice were highly used by him. , no matter which side he favors, the other side will be harmed, and it is not in his interest.

Being "impartial" also requires some skills, because if you forcefully suppress the conflict, it may make both parties feel resentful, making one feel ungrateful and the other unjust.

And now, he was inspired.

Maybe an acceptable outcome for both sides?

Legalize the identity of the illegitimate child and become a member of the Treville family, but the family property that should be inherited will still be inherited by Xia Lu - assuming that Xia Lu has no other brothers and sisters.

Princess Kadiyan can serve as the actual guardian of the child, and as an "adoptive mother" will leave her property to her son for inheritance in the future, without having to worry about being coveted by other relatives.

If this is the case, everyone will be grateful for his favor: the princess will be grateful to him for giving his son a chance to see the light of day; and Alice and Xia Lu will be grateful to him for being impartial and decisive, saving their family business; as for Trey Marquis Vere, he can also be satisfied. After all, he has fulfilled most of his wishes, and his grandson will also have a future.

In this way, as an arbitration party, he perfectly protected the interests of his ministers, which was enough to reflect his magnanimity as his majesty.

Great, let’s do it!

Although he had made up his mind, Aigron remained calm on the surface.

"Madam, let me tell you clearly. Although I have great trust in General Treville, I, like you, believe that this is too harsh on Lady Alice and her daughter. It is really unethical." He looked calmly. Looking at the princess, he then revealed his true intention, "Considering the great contribution the general has made to me, I will promise him that your son can become a genuine member of the Treville family from now on. I admit his identity, and allow him to walk around us in the future. If he has a future, he will be reused and will never face any discrimination because of his origin..."

The princess was overjoyed when she heard Aigron's promise. Originally she had resented Aigron because of his kidnapping, but now she almost regarded him as a benefactor. "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"I haven't finished speaking yet -" Aiglon made a gesture, "I want to fulfill the general's wish, but I don't want to harm Lady Alice and her daughter too much, so I have the following conditions:

First, Yin Zeriel can never inherit all the general’s property and honors;

Second, Yin Zeriel can never be recognized as Edgar's son. He can only be a distant relative who only enjoys this surname;

Third, Yin Zeruil must not be disrespectful to their mother and daughter in the future. You must educate him well and make him understand the truth. "

"Okay, I agree to these conditions..." The princess agreed to Aigron's not harsh conditions without any hesitation.

And after a moment, she immediately realized that what the young man said was "let her educate".

This also means that when his son returns to the country, His Majesty will allow himself to legitimately keep his son by his side to take care of him?

Her son got a famous surname, freed from the shadow of an illegitimate child, and had a bright future when he grew up. She could also take her son with her and take care of him and raise him... This was a good thing that she had never dreamed of before.

Maybe the consequences of changing dynasties are not so bad after all... She thought to herself.

Once she figured this out, she couldn't be more grateful to Aigron.

"Your Majesty, you are really kind and just. I am grateful for your ruling and have no objections... In addition, I will teach my son to remember your kindness. He will definitely become an upright and enthusiastic young man to serve you in the future. Serve, and get everything he deserves in a dignified manner.”

The words of gratitude to the princess were quite helpful to Aigron, so he also smiled slightly.

"Since you agree, let's do this - but don't worry, madam, it's not the time yet. When the time is right, I will tell them this decision."

At this point, he changed the subject again, "In addition, considering that this incident involves the face of many people, including you, we'd better solve it secretly and not reveal any rumors, otherwise it will not only be on the face of you adults, but If there is no light, the future of the two children may also be cast into a shadow..."

"Yes, I understand." The princess nodded understandingly, "Don't worry, I will keep everything secret. I will come forward when you need me."

Aiglon was very satisfied with the princess's understanding.

As the child's mother, she has a natural and reasonable right to speak, which means she is Aigron's powerful chess piece.

And he will use this chess piece when he thinks it is the most advantageous time, and this also means that the princess needs to be under his control.

"Since we had such a pleasant conversation, there is no need for me to embarrass you anymore, but from now on you'd better stay in seclusion and stay out of our sight." Aigron reminded the other party, "You have a special status now, your husband If you follow the king into exile, it will easily leave you with some suspicion..."

"I understand, Your Majesty." Of course the princess understood the young man's implication, "I have told you before that I am not interested in politics at all, and will not participate in any conspiracy, and I will be cautious in the future. Be careful with your words and actions, so as not to drag my son down..."

At this point, she sighed in despair, "My era is over. From now on, no one will flatter me or care about me as before. Although I have a title, I am nothing more than a person hiding in the countryside." Just a dying old man...I have gradually got used to the days of being forgotten, and I will continue to live like this for decades to come until the day I sleep peacefully."

"It's rare to see such a beautiful old man like you." Aigron said with a smile. "The days ahead are still very long, so you don't have to be so depressed."

Aiglon's comfort did not make the princess happy, she just smiled indifferently. "Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty. I will try my best to cheer up and live my life."

It is of course impossible not to miss the past time. Which woman is willing to give up those colorful and jeweled days?

But she knew that this was not something that could be changed through personal efforts. In the past, she was one of the top ladies in the dynasty, and everyone had to flatter her. But now she no longer has any power. The people who used to surround her will now scatter and continue to fawn around the rising upstarts, never noticing her again.

Since it is doomed to decline, it is better to retain the last bit of reserve and live the remaining days well with the help of what is left on hand. If you can keep your son by your side to take care of him, you will at least have comfort for the next few decades, which is considered lucky.

"Do you still miss Edgar?" Aigron asked suddenly.

This sudden question immediately brought back too many memories for the princess, and the sweet love she had with her lover in the past suddenly came to mind.

How sweet it was then, how sour it is now.

"I'm not worthy enough to miss him anymore, Your Majesty... Now I can only do him harm but not good." The princess smiled slightly, and then replied calmly.
