Eagle’s Glory

"It's about the Count of Monte Cristo."

Aigron cheered up instantly.

Of course he still remembered the grudge between Edmond Dantès and Prosecutor Villefort, and also knew that Villefort was the son of the Marquis. So when the Marquis mentioned the name Count of Monte Cristo, he immediately knew that this "private matter" was absolutely It’s not simple anymore.

"If you want to communicate with the count about something, just tell him directly?" After a moment of silence, Aigron responded.

He was actually hinting to the other party tactfully that he could not and did not want to intervene in the count's revenge plan against Villefort.

Of course, the Marquis understood Aiglon's hint, and a wry smile appeared on his wrinkled face, "Your Majesty, of course I will communicate with him, but this private matter is very important, and I think it is necessary to obtain your understanding and understanding in advance. Approval is all it takes——"

If ordinary people were so unyielding, Aigron would definitely teach him a lesson, but after all, the Marquis of Noirtier was an important minister who had been loyal to their father and son for two generations, and he was still working for him without complaint, so Aigron No matter what, Long should give him some face.

"Well, since you insist, then please say it. However, I have to tell you in advance that in my opinion, the Count of Monte Cristo has an extremely sufficient and correct reason to seek revenge from Prosecutor Villefort, so if you want If I try to stop or change his mind, I will never do it. Only he can decide whether to forgive his enemies——"

"I know, Your Majesty, so I will never ask you to use your power to interfere with his pursuit of revenge. The Earl and I are both men. We are aboveboard and enjoy grudges. We will not play such dirty tricks!" the Marquis responded with some excitement! "I just hope to offer the Count a chance to redeem my son's life," he said.

"Redemption?" Aigron couldn't help but laugh, "Of course you can try to do this, but in my opinion, it may be difficult. After all, he lacks nothing now, whether it is power or money, he will have it... You don’t seem to have anything valuable enough to appease his hatred, right?”

"Yes, he lacks nothing because you give him everything - but he also has his weaknesses, he is not very stable now that he has arrived in Paris,

He also does not have a strong family background and background, so he needs strong support. To put it simply, he needs a wife who comes from a well-known family and has a rich net worth to stabilize everything he has obtained..."

"You are right, so do you want to introduce him to such a wife?" Aigron now understood the Marquis's thinking.

"Being well-born and rich" seems to be just a few simple words, but there are not many unmarried young women who meet these two points at the same time - such a good partner is coveted by the entire upper class, even Iger It's hard for Long to help the count find him casually.

From this point of view, if the Marquis of Noirtier can really do such a favor to the count, it will be considered a great help.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The Marquis of Noirtier nodded solemnly, "I want to find such a partner for the count, hoping to compensate for the harm he has suffered and to somewhat eliminate some of the resentment in his heart."

"Hahaha, I really didn't expect that such a respected old man as the Marquis would actually join the matchmaking business...Okay, then, who is the candidate you selected?" Aigron asked with interest. .

"Her name is Mademoiselle Valentine de Noirtier." The moment he said it, the old man's face tensed up. It was obvious that he was feeling some pain in his heart, but he still gave the name with great determination and intention. Read it out.

who?

Aigron was stunned for a moment. He seemed to have never heard of this name, but he seemed to have some impression of it.

After a moment, he suddenly reacted.

Then, his originally calm and calm expression suddenly lost its balance. If there was coffee in his mouth, he would have spit it out.

Then he took a deep breath, finally allowing himself to calm down from the surprise.

"With all due respect, you...are you talking about your granddaughter, Mademoiselle Valentine?"

The Marquis didn't speak anymore, he just nodded slightly.

Are you fooling me? For a moment he glared at the Marquis Noirtier angrily.

But from the Marquis's expression, he couldn't find any trace of joking - besides, how could he joke on such a topic?

"Are you...are you serious?" Aigron couldn't help but ask again.

"I did propose this idea very seriously. Your Majesty, as the earl is your favorite, he must get your approval no matter who he marries, so I plan to ask for your opinion first. If you don't object, I will try again. Convince the Count himself..." The Marquis of Noirtier revealed his plan.

"This is not a question of whether I agree or not..." Aigron was furious, "Your granddaughter is only about 10 years old, right? How can she get married!?"

"You can sign a marriage contract in advance and wait until you are of the right age to get married." The Marquis of Noirtier seemed to have considered this issue for a long time, so he calmly answered Aiglon's question, "In fact, you don't have to wait long, Your Majesty the Queen I was only 16 when I married you..."

This rebuttal actually made Aiglon calm down, and when he thought about it carefully, it was true.

"But, they are also very different in age..."

"There are many marriages with such disparity in age in the upper class, right? There are too many examples around us. This does not mean that happiness cannot be achieved. I think the Earl's character and ability are beyond doubt. If he can really bring this marriage together, If we get married, Valentine will not suffer for it. On the contrary, she will become one of the most respected wives in the imperial court, which in my opinion is quite good." The Marquis retorted again.

The Marquis is an activist who dares to think and act. He was able to run a rebel group in Paris back then, and now he has the courage to do shocking things. Under his careful analysis, the proposal that seemed so absurd at first turned out to be... It seems to be pretty good.

Aiglon still had not fully recovered from the shock. He was trying to find some reason to deny the Marquis's bold idea.

But when he thought about it carefully, he was surprised to find that it all seemed really good.

First of all, no matter what the Marquis and Prosecutor Villefort do behind their backs, at least in front of others they are descendants of ancient aristocratic families, and they all have extremely respectable social status now, so Valentine can be said to be of pure origin and family background. Superior, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is an excellent marriage partner.

Secondly, whether it is her current performance or the description in the book, Valentine is a cultured, educated and kind-hearted woman, and she is definitely a good wife.

Although in that book, Valentine had a lover named Maximian Morel as a girl, the problem is that these two people must have never met each other now. Since the love affair never happened, then There is no such thing as "beating mandarin ducks with a stick". Unlike the original novel where Villefort knew his daughter had a sweetheart and forced her to marry her chosen fiancé. If this marriage takes place, there will be no Moral stain (probably not?).

From the earl's point of view, if this marriage contract really takes effect, then he can indeed get extremely strong support - both the Marquis of Noirtier and Prosecutor Villefort can be regarded as elites, and their ancient The pedigree of a famous family can also dispel any doubts about the count's identity from the outside world.

The more Aigron thought about it, the more he realized that he didn't seem to have many defensible reasons to directly oppose this idea.

"Your Majesty, if you think that all this is just the wild imagination of an old fool like me, and that my granddaughter is not worthy of marrying a count, then I will give up my idea immediately." While Aiglon was hesitating, the Marquis of Noirtier spoke. , "But if you feel that it is appropriate at all, then please...please allow me, a dying old man, to make a little effort for the life of my son and the continuation of the family..."

"Are you willing to do this?" Aigron sighed, looking at the count with a little pity. "Although I understand a father's cherishment of his only son, even if he dies, it won't matter. It will be the end of the world. The Count has given Prosecutor Villefort time, and he can leave an heir as soon as possible——"

"This is not just a matter of my son, Your Majesty." The Marquis raised his head and faced Aigron proudly, "Your Majesty, I also bear a great responsibility for the Count who suffered so many tragic tragedies. When he left Elba, The letter brought back from the island was for me. I also knew that he was arrested...but I didn't do anything at the time. I knew that my son had been wronged, but I didn't plan to spend time rescuing him. I didn't even try to save him. I didn’t defend him a few times. If these sins must be paid off, then I also have a debt that I can’t escape! Because of this, I have the obligation to make up for my mistakes back then.”

As time passed, and the power of Aigron and the Earl grew, the secrets of the year were gradually revealed in front of them.

Emperor Napoleon entrusted the captain of the Pharaon to deliver a message to the Paris conspiracy organization led by the Marquis. Unfortunately, the captain died of a sudden illness during the voyage. Before his death, he entrusted Edmond Dantes, a young sailor who was deeply trusted by him, to help him deliver the message to Marseille. As a result, He was eventually reported by Fernand, then arrested by Villefort, and finally thrown into a black jail.

The letter was addressed to the Marquis of Noirtier. Villefort was also the son of the Marquis of Noirtier. Although he had never been to Marseille, the whole incident was indelibly linked to him.

However, because the Marquis had contributed a lot to the Bonaparte family after all, neither the Count nor Aiglon deliberately avoided delving into the events of that year, let alone criticized him.

Unexpectedly, now the Marquis revealed everything himself, which made Aigron not know how to respond for a while.

"What you said is correct...but neither I nor he will blame you for this. After all, you are an upright man. The count himself respects you very much. If possible, he would not be proud of you. The famous Noirtier family has been cut off, so even if Prosecutor Villefort dies, as long as there are still heirs, he will definitely help." After a while, Aiglon sighed softly, "So , you don’t have to worry so much, just think about it again.”

"I have thought about it long enough, Your Majesty." The Marquis shook his head and replied without hesitation, "I am very grateful to you for being so tolerant to me, but now that things have reached this point, I will not allow myself to escape. , I will try my best, even if it costs me my most cherished treasure, I will erase this black debt in our family history..."

It's not that Aiglon can't understand the Marquis's mentality.

To the old man, his granddaughter was of course regarded as a treasure and loved him very much, but compared to the family's reputation and continuation, it seemed not that important. He didn't know how many years he could live, and he didn't know how long Villefort would survive. Whether he could give birth to an heir as scheduled in the remaining time, this kind of pressure that could drive people crazy, made him finally make up his mind and make this shocking decision.

Faced with the old man's stubborn look, Aigron knew that he could not shake his mind.

"Well, if you insist on this proposal, then I have no objection. I think this marriage contract is feasible." Aiglon finally gave the answer that the Marquis had been waiting for, but he immediately changed the subject, "But , I must remind you that even paying such a price may not eliminate his hatred. All I can do is not object, and the earl can decide whether to accept your redemption conditions. "

Aiglon's attitude was tantamount to giving the Marquis a shot in the arm. A major obstacle in front of him had been removed. Although the next step was still very difficult, he finally saw the light.

"As long as you don't object, Your Majesty, I should naturally do the rest by myself." The Marquis nodded lightly. "If I can't do it, then I will never blame anyone. Everything is fate... I have witnessed the death of so many people and the decline of so many families. When it is my turn, as long as I try my best For that, I can accept it calmly."

After saying that, the Marquis solemnly bowed to Aigron and left, leaving Aigron alone in a daze.

To be honest, he still hasn't recovered from the shock. Everything seems too bizarre.

In the original book, the Count of Monte Cristo was loved by Haidee, whom he had raised since childhood, and finally left with her successful courtship.

In this world changed by Aigron, Haidee has become the Grand Duchess of Ioannina, and is under the care of a dedicated person, so it is impossible to have anything to do with him.

But I didn't expect... there would be such a thing.

Could it be that there is indeed some kind of fate in the world that makes the Count of Monte Cristo unable to escape the title of "lolicon" no matter how he changes the world?

He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Now that the matter has come to this, Aigron has chosen to wait and see what happens.

Let him decide his own destiny.
