Eagle’s Glory

Fourteen, treasure

"Then I will."

Since Agnes had already agreed, Egron naturally had nothing to say, so he called the Duke again and told him that he wanted to be a guest at his home.

Although the Duke was very surprised, the news naturally made him very happy, and he immediately agreed.

"Your Majesty, it is an honor for our whole family that you can come to our humble home! We will do our best to entertain you and let you return with great pleasure."

In order to let the outside world see how deeply favored he is by His Majesty, he has asked his daughter several times to invite His Majesty to attend events at his home to add glory to his family. However, it was only because of Agnes's strong opposition that it was not possible.

Now, he finally got this long-awaited "honor", how could he not be secretly overjoyed.

As for what His Majesty wants to do at his house, that is not important at all. What is important is that the outside world can see how illustrious his family is and will surely occupy the top of the social class for a long time.

So, he immediately sent people to rush home as quickly as possible to report the good news to his family and let them prepare in advance to welcome the Holy Emperor.

In this way, Aigron successfully concluded today's inspection and got on the return carriage with Agnes.

According to the scheduled itinerary, he should now return to the Tuileries Palace to continue handling the remaining matters. However, since Aiglon has changed his mind, the itinerary will naturally change according to his thoughts. This motorcade surrounded by guards, Crossing the Seine River in a mighty way, and then heading towards the aristocratic settlement on the right bank, where Agnes's home is.

In the carriage, Agnes seemed a little nervous because this was the first time His Majesty went to her home. More importantly, such a huge noise was bound to alarm everyone in the neighbors. People along the way knew that His Majesty Will come and stop at his lover's house.

Her parents would definitely regard this as an "honor", but Agnes only felt ashamed. After all, in her opinion, there was really no glory at all.

But since this is His Majesty’s decision,

So what can be done? Anyway, Agnes has already experienced the more embarrassing things during this period, and now her tolerance has been greatly improved, so she accepted it quickly, but she was just a little uneasy.

"Agnes, don't you welcome me to your home? You are so depressed." Seeing that she was uneasy, Agron asked half seriously and half jokingly.

"How is that possible! Of course I am happy to entertain you." Agnes immediately shook her head, and then answered Agron truthfully, "It's just... I just don't like to be too high-profile. If others think I'm showing off, That’s a huge misunderstanding of me…”

After hearing this, Agron chuckled inwardly. Although Agnes had adapted to her identity, she still subconsciously felt a little guilty and guilty, so she was afraid that her high profile would attract the attention of the outside world.

Although this is an unnecessary thought, it is good for her to think so, and it only adds to her cuteness.

"Well, there is nothing we can do about it..." Aigron sighed, feeling a little helpless himself. "When you become an emperor, you will inevitably have to make some pomp and circumstance. You have witnessed with your own eyes the scene of my assassination, so I publicly Is it okay if you don’t bring more guards when you travel? However, since you don’t like ostentation, then I will travel lightly and secretly when I come here. Today is a temporary change of schedule, and I can’t leave so many people behind. He sneaked away to the side."

And next time... Agnes sensed the meaning in Aigron's words.

It seems that he wants to visit his home every once in a while.

But why? We could always meet him in normal times... Agnes still didn't quite understand His Majesty's intention, but she didn't ask any more questions.

The two people moved forward in the carriage. Aigron opened the thick velvet blanket covering the window and looked at the dark clouds and the few pedestrians on the street because of the cold wind.

"Christmas and New Year are coming soon." Aiglon sighed, "This will be the first New Year in the empire, and we must celebrate it well."

Since it is the first New Year after Aiglon came to power, the imperial government is naturally interested in brightening the atmosphere, so it has allocated funds to prepare for the New Year celebrations. Now, all the squares in the city have been decorated with lights in advance, and it will be a festival full of people. A grand feast of fireworks, colorful flags and fine wine, and Aiglon will also celebrate the arrival of the New Year with the people of the city, and also take the opportunity to let the people get used to the existence of the empire.

"Yes...it will be a new year again." Agnes nodded lightly, and then said with emotion, "We have experienced too many turbulent days this year, and I hope that in the new year May everyone be safe and have a happy year."

Aigron knew in his heart that he had an indelible contribution to this year's "turmoil", but he would not feel guilty about it. Instead, he laughed happily, "Of course, I am standing here, The country will naturally be at peace."

Having said this, he looked at Agnes with a hint of joking, "Agnes, as the beginning of a new year, I plan to give you a unique gift...a treasure that you will never expect."

"What gift?" Agnes was a little curious.

During this period of time, she had received too many expensive gifts from those who tried to please her. Aigron also promised to send her a "special train" after a while. She really couldn't think of anything now. Things can also surprise her.

Instead, she admonished Aigron, "Your Majesty, you don't give me any more treasures. What use are those things to me? They are just extravagance and waste... As long as you have that kind of intention, no matter how ordinary the gift is, I will give it to you." You will also be happy.”

"No, no, no, this treasure must be given to you, otherwise, I will owe you too much." Aigron answered seriously.

Agnes looked at Agron in confusion, "What exactly do you mean?"

Aigron pretended to be serious, but then he couldn't stand it anymore and answered with a smile.

"How about a child destined to be cute and smart?"

Agnes was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted. Then, her face suddenly turned red, and then she covered her face with her hands. "You...what are you talking about!"

"What? Isn't that a treasure?" Aigron asked jokingly, seeing Agnes blushing.

Of course, it was indeed a "treasure", but Agnes was not prepared for becoming a mother, or in other words, she had no confidence that she could be a good mother.

Although, as Aiglon, he could completely let this child get rid of the disgraceful illegitimate status and have a noble title and wealth and glory, but he could not give the child complete fatherly love, and he was in such a situation, really Can you raise children well?

She had absolutely no confidence.

Because of this, every time she thought about this problem, she would feel panic and worry in her heart, and then she had to put the problem aside.

When she and Aiglon were touring across the country, she and Aiglon had sex countless times, but she never got pregnant after all, which made her secretly glad that she didn't have to face the problems she feared.

However, now, when the two of them were alone in the small car, the problem she could avoid came to her face again, leaving her unable to avoid it.

Becoming a mother...am I worthy? she asked herself, and then didn't know how to answer.

"Your Majesty...I, I may not be able...to bear this...this gift from you." After a moment, she answered hesitantly.

"What's wrong, Agnes?" Aigron saw her discomfort and asked.

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid that I can't be a good mother." Agnes hesitated and told Agron the truth. "Look, I don't know this or that, and I don't understand the ways of the world. How can I raise a good child?"

"Silly girl!" Aigron couldn't help pinching her face, "No one is born to be a mother. They all work hard to become a real mother after they have their children... something they should learn. , you can learn better than others; wouldn’t you be just right about things you shouldn’t learn? Besides, you have a mother and sister by your side, and they will help you solve all your problems.”

Agnes knew that what Agron said was indeed true, but the instinctive guilt and guilt in her heart made her still want to escape.

"But I don't have to have children..."

"Stop being so stubborn, Agnes." Agron shook his head, "I saw the way you held Xia Lu in your arms and teased her. You love children. Your gentle caress and doting eyes, It says it all.”

Agnes was stunned when Aiglon poked her in the weak spot.

"Since you really love children, wouldn't it be great to become a mother?" Seeing Agnes wavering, Agron continued to ask, "Now that we have gotten along, we will get along for a long time. Do you want to be together for the rest of your life?" Are you alone? Or do you think there is someone more suitable to be the father of your child than me?"

Agnes was furious when she heard this. She pinched Agron's arm hard, and then gave him a sharp look.

"Even if you are joking, you are not allowed to say that to me! Trampling on morality once has already made me bear such a heavy guilt. How could I do it a second time!"

Instead of being angry at Agnes's offense, Agron was very happy with her sincerity. He shrugged and continued his speech.

"Yeah, you and I will never be separated. Then how can I bear to see you alone with me all the time? When I grow old, can I bear to see you living a desolate old age with no one to take care of you?" ? No, I can never accept it!

Therefore, I want to give you a child, let you carefully nurture it, and use it as your support in the future... Don't worry, you can become a good mother. You have to think about it, there are so many bad women in the world who can become mothers, you What could be worse than them? Stop worrying about it, Agnes..."

Faced with Aiglon's two-pronged attack of provocation and gentle persuasion, Agnes was gradually convinced as usual.

In fact, she didn't care about her old age, but she was very happy that Aigron cared about her and thought about her old age.

She has always valued family, so why doesn't she long in her heart to have a family of her own? Although her current awkward position is destined to make the "family" lose an important part, even so, warm family affection and family happiness can still be found.

Although, if she becomes pregnant, it may irritate Princess Teresa, but now that her "title" has been acquiesced by everyone (including Letizia and herself), she should not be worried about this. Annoyed by unexpected things.

It’s unlikely that Princess Teresa would ask her to be alone all her life.

As long as she is low-key, respectful and does not attract attention, she will not use any harsh methods on herself. After all, she now has two children, and there will be more in the future. Whether she has children or not, she will not threaten her children. status.

The more Agnes thought about it, the more she became shaken.

She discovered that deep down she did not refuse to be a mother. On the contrary, children were a temptation for her.

More than any precious pearl necklace, more than any special train, it made her feel more precious.

This is indeed a treasure... It would be great if she could be as beautiful and cute as Xia Lu.

If it were His Majesty and his own child, he would definitely be beautiful and smart, right? She said to herself in her mind.

Unintentionally, her resistance disappeared and she began to think freely.

Then, she suddenly covered her face and sighed helplessly.

"But, I... I may not be destined to be a mother! We have been there so many times before, but there is still no movement! God must have punished me. A bad woman like me does not deserve to have a child... "

Agnes's reply, in Agron's view, was tantamount to her acquiescing to his proposal, but instead worrying about the "success rate".

Agron smiled and then hugged Agnes tightly to convey to her that he was on her side.

"Don't worry, Agnes...it's just bad luck. You were so busy and tired before, and you had to cruise with me every day. What's the wonder that you're not pregnant? But this time it's different. We have many opportunities." ...I will work hard with you. If it doesn't work once, try a few more times. Anyway...I can come to your home, right?"

In Aigron's gentle call, Agnes gradually understood what Aigron meant.

It turns out...it turns out that he wanted to go to my house for this reason...she finally understood.

Moreover, she thought that His Majesty had just said personally, "Then I will come here in the future."

He had already thought about it, but he weakly obeyed him every time, without exception.

She was a little unwilling, but she had a hint of sweetness.

"Don't forget, sometimes I won't welcome you as a guest!"
