Eagle’s Glory

"Cinderella will disappear on her own after midnight, so why should you care?"

Faced with Agnes' questioning, Maria, who was unwilling to reveal her identity, decided to take advantage of the situation.

However, her idea was not so easy to realize. Facing Maria who was slowly retreating, Agnes did not intend to let her go. Instead, she walked towards her step by step, making a promise that she would leave her behind for further questioning. Posture.

The reason why she did this was not out of resentment - although Maria's cynicism to her just now made her a little embarrassed, but after this period of continuous blows, Agnes's mental endurance has been greatly improved, and now Everyone knows that she is His Majesty's mistress, so what does she have to worry about?

She was more curious than resentful. This strange woman used a fake identity and was led to her home by Andre. Then as a guest, she dared to sneer at the host and put on a show of fearlessness. The appearance of not being afraid of the ground really aroused curiosity.

She wanted to confirm the suspicion she had just had - did this inexplicable woman have something to do with His Majesty, so she got Andre's help?

Maria stepped back step by step, and Agnes stepped forward step by step, like a cat ready to hunt.

Of course, there was a hopeless gap in skill between the two. If she hadn't been afraid of being indecorous in front of everyone, Agnes would have pounced on him and caught him.

But even though Agnes restrained herself, Maria still couldn't escape her pursuit, and the two were about to get close again.

Facing the aggressive Agnes, Maria felt more and more nervous. She didn't understand why the girl who looked delicate and humble had such an intimidating aura, so that she was even a little at a loss for a while.

Just when she desperately saw Agnes chasing after her, a strong hand grabbed Maria's shoulder and pushed her behind her. Then this person stood directly between the two people. Finally, at the last moment Stopped this "hunt".

"Andre?!" Agnes was a little unhappy at being stopped, but after seeing the other person clearly, she calmed down in an instant. "You showed up just in time!"

"I'm sorry, Miss Agnes, my cousin doesn't know etiquette. She may have spoken rudely just now and caused you some trouble. Please be magnanimous and forgive her rudeness!" Andre bowed to Agnes seriously. , begging her to let Maria go.

Now that Andre said so, Agnes had no choice but to stop.

Maria finally felt like she had been amnesty, and quickly slipped back into the crowd under Andre's cover.

"Andre, who is she?" After Maria slipped away, Agnes asked Andre with a little dissatisfaction.

"She is my cousin, I have already told you." Andre replied with a straight face.

"You!" Agnes was very dissatisfied with Andre's attitude, "Don't you respect me at all! You are still deceiving me with such lies that can be seen through at a glance... Also, this It’s my family! Today is a banquet held by my family! We can accept you bringing a guest of unknown origin. After all, our family has always been generous in hospitality. But she just offended me, and you can’t let me return it. Are you completely in the dark? If you do this, I have to think that you are humiliating me and our family!"

With such a big hat coming over Agnes, Andre no longer dared to put on a posture of having no comment. He could only plead with Agnes while defending himself, "Miss Agnes, I am not humiliated at all." What do you or your family mean? The reality is that I can only tell you this... I ask you, for the sake of our past friendship, not to ask me any more. No matter what offense she caused you just now, it can be considered This is a favor I owe you, and I will repay it when I get the chance."

Now that Andre has already said this, Agnes has no choice but to call it quits and no longer pursue what happened just now. However, Andre's current performance also confirms her suspicion to a certain extent.

"Okay, for the sake of our past friendship, I can ignore her offense and treat it as nothing happened. But as compensation, you have to answer a few questions from me." Agnes looked at Andre seriously. , and then continued to ask, "When she came here today, was it someone's instruction, or was it her own personal intention?"

"It's her personal meaning." Although Andre was nervous, he still answered honestly.

"If it's just her personal intention, then why do you listen to her and act with her? She and you don't seem that close, and they definitely don't have any personal relationship, so...does she have the ability to order you, or do you have it? What happened to her?" Agnes continued to ask.

Andre's head was pounding. He had never been good at lying, and now he was facing a headwind. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find any perfect reason to get rid of all this.

He couldn't help but secretly scold the wayward Maria in his heart. She insisted on watching some fun, but even jumped out to tease Agnes. Wasn't this asking for trouble for himself?

It's a pity that no matter how much he scolds him, he is ultimately the only one responsible for dealing with the aftermath, and Andre can only bite the bullet and continue to hold on. "She wanted to come and have a look, and I...I was just doing her a favor..."

"Andre, we have known each other for several years, so I know who you are. You are loyal and cautious by nature. You will not risk offending me by doing anything for no reason...unless you are forced. of."

"No...I wasn't forced...I just..." Andre quickly denied it, but he didn't know how to answer.

And in Agnes's eyes, his performance immediately became proof that he didn't bring it upon himself.

"It seems that this woman really has a good background, and is she even someone you can't afford to offend?" So, she asked with a sneer, "Although I usually don't pay attention to social interaction, but those few people in the French royal family and noble families are... I have seen all the women of her age, but she is not one of them... So what is it about her that makes you so afraid? Humph, is she a foreign princess? Or is it His Majesty's new love? "

Awesome, you were right! Andre secretly admired it in his heart.

He was a little puzzled. Miss Agnes was usually careless or even confused. Why was she so sharp now?

In other words, in normal times, she is magnanimous and would rather be confused, but now when His Majesty is involved, she is too concerned and her brain cells suddenly become active?

Andre is not a psychoanalyst, and he doesn't understand why this is happening. He just wants to get through the current predicament.

He absolutely cannot tell the truth because the implications are too great and he has no right to tell it; and if he disobeys His Majesty's order, facing His Majesty's blame will be more terrifying than facing Miss Agnes. too much.

"Your imagination has almost caught up with those of the playwrights today, Miss Agnes." So, he forced himself to calm down, and then forced out a smile, "Do you think His Majesty will deliberately send someone to cause trouble for you? ? Does such a nasty joke do him any good? I can assure you that His Majesty has no such intention."

He played a language game, emphasizing that Maria was not sent by His Majesty, but did not deny that the two people were related.

But Agnes did not notice the subtle difference, because everything that happened now was too bizarre and a bit beyond her imagination. It was hard for her to imagine that His Majesty would actually satisfy her willful request just because he wanted to please someone. .

So now that Andre denied that she was sent here by His Majesty, Agnes felt relieved, and her originally high anger also dissipated a lot.

At least I was not abandoned, nor was I publicly humiliated by His Majesty.

Although Agnes had said several times before, "The day His Majesty dislikes me, I will leave of my own accord", but having just tasted the sweet taste, she was not willing to be thrown aside so quickly.

"Huh, even so, I shouldn't be treated like this. I won't forget today's offense easily." So, her expression softened slightly, and then she snorted coldly, "This mysterious lady, will you do it again in the future?" Stay in Paris?"

"I...I don't know, maybe." Andre spread his hands. "However, at least for now, she is still obsessed with Paris."

He really didn't know that Princess Maria would not tell him her future plans.

"Why, is he really a foreigner? It seems that he is really a distinguished guest..." Agnes sneered again. She didn't realize that she had become as eccentric as Maria unintentionally. "It seems that we may have a chance to meet again in the future, but if there is a next time, I must find out clearly what an amazing person this arrogant and willful lady is..."

Agnes and her family have not been to Bavaria or Austria, so of course they cannot recognize Maria. Although some of the guests have been to Austria, there are very few opportunities to see Sophie - even if they have met Sophie It is impossible for people in the Philippines to be sure that they saw the prince and concubine in Paris. They will only feel that they have met a woman who looks like her.

Therefore, although her guess was close to the truth, after all, the truth has not been revealed yet.

And this is enough for Andre. Anyway, as long as nothing happens today, he will have completed his mission and be worthy of His Majesty.

As for what happens next... never mind it! Whatever he loves, he has no interest in worrying about the willful and arrogant Princess Maria. The one who should worry is not you.

Seeing that Agnes finally let him go, he breathed a sigh of relief, then silently bowed to Agnes, and then quietly returned to the crowd.

At this time, Maria was hiding in a corner, still in shock because she was almost caught just now.

Although she has always been willful, because of her status as a princess and the tolerance of her father and brother, she was not punished since she was a child, and she developed a reckless arrogance. Even though she came to Paris incognito, she still regarded herself as a superior person in her heart, and did not pay attention to any rules and etiquette.

But when Agnes pressed her harder and harder just now, she was shocked to realize that now she was no different from a commoner. The aura surrounding her was actually brought by the title "Her Royal Highness" and was not something that was inherent in her. She has no guards, no followers, and no power. Here she is isolated and helpless, and may even be at the mercy of others.

This naturally hurt her proud heart greatly.

"Are you okay?" At this time, Andre, who came back from Agnes, also ran to Maria's side and asked her.

"I'm fine, I was just a little... a little surprised." Maria forced a smile and answered. "I didn't expect that she looks so well-educated, but she can be so rude!"

"Rough? I don't think so." Andre shook his head, "Anyone will be more wary when they meet a suspicious person at home, right? What's more, you took the initiative to offend her."

"I'm just curious... After all, she is so famous now, so it's normal for me to want to meet her, right?" Maria heard the other party's accusation and defended herself.

"You should be glad that she has such a good temper now." Andre smiled, "She is a very powerful swordsman. Not only me, many people have been defeated by her."

"No wonder... he was so fierce just now!" Maria suddenly realized why the opponent was so terrifying just now, and regretted that she had made such a reckless move without any intelligence.

But after a moment, she realized that all her reactions were in the eyes of others.

An unspeakable and bitter feeling of shame surged into her heart.

She was ashamed that as a princess, she would be afraid of a servant, and she was even more ashamed that her fear was seen by others.

Even if they are talented and beautiful, even if they have noble moral character, even if they have great skills, so what? After all, she is just someone else's servant, a mistress who is ordered around...

When she thought of this, Maria suddenly sneered again.

"She seems to be really powerful, but so what? It's not like she has to rely on others, and her family is living on your Majesty's charity... What's so proud of her?"

Of course, Maria's behavior of trying to save her respect did not escape Andre's eyes.

He felt anxiously that neither of these two people seemed to want to let it go, and there might be conflicts in the future.

Andre knew Miss Agnes well. Among the people she had met, she was only afraid of His Majesty and had only bowed to one person. Although she was in awe of Agron in her heart because of several repeated blows, she But she is not afraid of others. In the past, she dared to draw her sword even when facing the prince of Austria, so even if she finds out that Maria is really a princess in the future, she probably will not flinch.

Not to mention Maria, she can offend almost anyone.

So if these two people get into trouble in the future...oh, sparks will really fly, right?

When Andre thought of this, he couldn't help but sweat for His Majesty.

However, that is not a problem that he needs to worry about.
