"You'll see it, and soon."
In Chanel's eyes, Edgar's smile was obviously a little weird, but she knew that even if she asked, the other person might not answer her, so she could only endure her doubts secretly.
But just because she was a little worried, she couldn't help but warn the other party.
"Sir, I want to remind you that although His Majesty does favor Miss Agnes now, in his heart, Princess Theresa is also his fiancée. This is an unchangeable fact - that is to say, His Highness Theresa must She is also our mistress, we must respect her! No matter what you plan to do, I ask you to be careful and do not embarrass Her Royal Highness, otherwise Your Majesty will not forgive us."
Chanel's tone was solemn, but Edgar obviously didn't take it to heart. He just nodded lightly and replied perfunctorily.
"Don't worry, I know what's appropriate."
From Edgar's point of view, he has already offended Princess Teresa, and what he did will inevitably conflict with her, so it is meaningless to think about "proportion" anymore. It is better to change passivity into initiative. Princess Teresa could not take revenge on herself.
Of course, it is not easy to do this. He can see that neither His Majesty nor the people around His Majesty think highly of him. In other words, in the face of Her Majesty Theresa's anger, His Majesty has no motivation at all. Protect yourself to death——
Unless, I can become indispensable; Unless, I can make my backer indispensable to His Majesty.
That's all he needs to do.
Although Chanel didn't know what Edgar was thinking, she instinctively felt something was wrong from his perfunctory attitude.
However, the situation had reached this stage, and she had no choice but to hide her worries in her heart.
At the same time, she developed a strong wariness and disgust towards Edgar in her heart, and she would never trust him for a second again.
Now that what needed to be said had been said, Chanel was unwilling to stay in front of him for one more second and immediately left. Edgar politely sent her away, and then started his plan without stopping.
In this way, time passed by minute by minute.
During this day, Aigron has been inspecting his army everywhere according to the scheduled schedule, condolences to the frontline soldiers and the sick and wounded, and boosting the morale of all officers and soldiers. Because of the victory he achieved, he caused trouble everywhere he went. Cheering, everyone felt proud.
Soon it was evening, and the celebration party that was being prepared started on time.
When night fell, the salutes in the fortress began to roar at the same time, announcing the victory of the Bonaparte family to the world with thunderous roars. There was free supply of wine everywhere in the fortress, which made these battle-hardened and physically and mentally exhausted people The soldiers got a good rest.
A celebration banquet was also being held at the city hall where he lived.
Compared with the "universal joy" outside, the number of people who are qualified to come to celebrate with him is naturally much smaller - only senior officers who are mainly members of the Knights, and advisors around him are eligible to participate.
Of course, Teresa, who had just arrived in Mesolonghion, undoubtedly came to participate as the host.
At this time, the originally damaged city hall has been repainted, and the officers have all put on brand-new uniforms and gathered together. On their chests, they all wear medals of various levels of knighthood issued by Aigron himself. It can be said that Majestic and heroic.
The same is true for Aigron himself. He is wearing a black military uniform designed by himself, with the only Grand Master medal of the Knights on his chest. He is handsome and full of majesty at the same time - no one can see his appearance. I doubt that he has grown into a leader who speaks his mind.
Although this group of people does not yet have an empire in their hands, after this period of tempering, they do have a bit of the temperament of an empire.
There were candles lit everywhere in the hall, so it was very bright everywhere. The tables beside the wall were filled with all kinds of delicacies, and a group of musicians recruited from the surrounding areas played music - although they used harps and flutes to play. The music that came out was very different from the music from those orchestras in Paris, but no one cared about that at the moment.
The medals worn by everyone gathered together, reflecting the candlelight, making the hall look like jewels, and the musicians and delicacies decorated the banquet in a decent way - except that there were no ladies and ladies to help out, this scene was no longer the same as the Imperial Era. High-society gatherings are not much different.
Under the attention of everyone in the audience, Aigron and Teresa walked side by side and walked into the center.
In order to adapt to this occasion, Teresa naturally dressed up carefully at this time. She was wearing a gorgeous palace dress, a wreath symbolizing victory on her head, a blue ribbon on her chest, and a hand in her hand. Holding a folding fan, she looks like a noble lady attending a palace banquet.
Although at this time when everything is ruined, the fancy clothes are not in harmony with the large ruins outside the house, but who cares about this? Everyone only saw that Princess Teresa showed her due majesty and complemented their Majesty.
Agron stood with Teresa, and then quietly listened to the roar of the salute outside the window. It was not until the salute finally stopped that he spoke leisurely.
"Everyone, I am very happy to be able to gather with you at the banquet celebrating victory. Although we have paid too much effort and cost along the way, in any case, we are the winners now, and we have defeated our opponents. Trampled under our feet, so we have the right to celebrate ourselves!
However, while celebrating, we must also keep in mind that it is precisely because of our honor and the sacrifices of those unknown soldiers that we won the victory with difficulty... Without them, we would not be where we are today. So let us first toast to these war dead, these warriors, and pay tribute to them! "
After finishing speaking, he took the lead in picking up the cup.
The originally relaxed atmosphere was swept away and suddenly became solemn, even a little sad.
Since coming to Greece, Aigron has led his men in a series of battles. Although he has won victory after victory, he has also suffered a lot of casualties. Not only did the soldiers suffer thousands of casualties, but they also suffered many casualties. A dozen officers who were members of the Knights were also killed.
If the death of the soldiers only meant the loss of some "consumables" for Aigron and the officers, then the death of those colleagues made everyone present feel sad.
After all, these robes had met together on the Island of Monte Cristo, and some of them had become friends, but now they were separated in life and death.
Human beings are not grass and trees. Even though we know that death in war is inevitable, we still can't help but feel sad when we think of Paoze's death.
However, they are now veterans who have experienced battles, so after the brief sadness, they quickly regained their emotions.
And Aigron continued talking after drinking a glass of wine.
"Although I am here with you all today, we must not forget that there is one person among us who is not here. He is my captain of the guard and the outstanding warrior among us, Andre Davout. He lives up to his last name , has always guarded my safety with great loyalty, and at the same time, fought to the death with our enemies with bravery no less than anyone else! At this moment, he is still staying in Nafpaktos, guarding the rear for us, he Although he did not participate in the attack on the fortress, he will always stand with us! Let’s drink to Andre again!”
"Cheers!" There was another enthusiastic response. Everyone present raised their glasses and toasted to Andre Davout, who was staying dozens of kilometers away.
Everyone present knew that although Andre Davout was not the supreme commander, he was His Majesty’s captain of the guard and his favorite general, and one of the most trusted people around him, so no one would question that he who was not present received This kind of treatment.
After drinking another glass, Aigron continued,
"Although today is a celebration banquet, we all know that our journey has not ended here. Greece has not yet become independent, and we have not completely expelled the enemy, so we will face new challenges in the future. I hope everyone will not Be discouraged and use your original courage and loyalty to serve me - don't forget, Greece is only the first stop on our journey. Only by walking well here can we finally reach France, Paris, and serve Paris. cheers!"
"Cheers to Paris!" he shouted, and received an even more enthusiastic response.
Yes, when Paris was mentioned, people present couldn't help but get excited.
This gorgeous and magnificent city is exactly what they dream of, and their empire can only be truly called an empire if it is established in Paris.
After this series of struggles, they won the victory and developed confidence. At this time, they all believed that that day would definitely come.
With the help of Aigron's speech and the influence of alcohol, everyone in the hall was high-spirited and had a momentum of success - and this was exactly what Aigron wanted to see.
He held this celebration banquet just to wash away everyone's fatigue and let them devote themselves to the unfinished struggle like before.
Seeing that everyone's atmosphere had been aroused, he looked at Theresa again, and then nodded to her with a smile.
Of course Teresa understood, she knew that this was Aiglon giving her a chance to show off, so she also picked up the wine glass from the side, and then solemnly saluted everyone present.
"Dear warriors." She glanced at the people around her with grateful eyes, "I have been staying in Methoni for this period of time, handling rear affairs for His Highness, so I regret that I was not there in person. Witness the glorious moment when victory comes... However, although I have not witnessed your heroic appearance with my own eyes, from your highness's letter, I have deeply felt the hardships you have endured and the sacrifices you have made for victory... …I know all this and will remember it in my heart, and I will remember each and every one of you!”
Teresa's eyes lingered on each person's face for a moment, as if she was looking at them and remembering each person's appearance.
"...His Highness and I, as well as our future descendants, will always be grateful for your dedication and sacrifice. What I regret most is that we don't have many gifts to repay your loyalty now, but if we return Once you arrive in Paris and rebuild the empire, we will give you all the rewards you deserve and use you to support the empire. Let us drink to this day!"
Princess Teresa's toast was warm and heroic, so everyone responded in succession.
"cheers!"
In this lively and cheerful atmosphere, Theresa focused her attention elsewhere.
For her, participating in such ceremonial activities has always been a part of her life. She has been trained countless times since she was a child, and she will never make any mistakes.
Her gaze wandered among the crowd. On the one hand, it was to give her and His Highness's servants spiritual encouragement, but more importantly, she wanted to find Agnes.
She had sent Chanel to invite Agnes before, and Chanel replied to her that Miss Agnes agreed to attend.
Sure enough, it didn't take long before she saw Agnes in the corner.
At this time, she was back in women's clothing, but she was not dressed up, just wearing a simple skirt. Standing in an inconspicuous corner, she looked like one of the musicians.
After she noticed Agnes, she immediately smiled and nodded to Agnes, and Agnes also noticed the gaze of Her Royal Highness the Princess, so she nodded politely.
The two met again after a long absence. They originally had a good impression of each other when they first met, but unfortunately, due to a combination of fate, this impression was covered with dust.
Of course, for Teresa, she wanted to wipe the dust away.
She wanted to call Agnes to come to her, not to humiliate her, but to let her see clearly that her relationship with His Highness was already a certainty, and hoped that she could retreat in spite of the difficulties.
In essence, she also respects Agnes, so if the storm can pass, she is willing to continue to treat Agnes as a friend.
Of course, if Agnes is unwilling to change, then the situation will be different - how can a young girl not feel angry at all when this happens?
For the sake of everyone's dignity, and also in order to no longer quarrel with Agron, Teresa consciously did not mention Agnes's matter in front of him, as if everything had become history and had been forgotten by her.
However, this incident obviously happened not long ago, how could she really forget it?
Just when she was about to invite Agnes to come to her and have a good conversation with her, she suddenly found someone standing in front of Agnes.
——Suddenly it was Prince Charles, Aiglon’s cousin.
what happened? Do they have a friendship? Or does he also support it? Teresa fell into doubt for a moment.
Then she glanced at Charlie.
Prince Charlie, who has always been sharp-minded, noticed this glance. Although it was only a brief glance, the coldness in it made Prince Charlie feel chilly and suddenly he was speechless.
Logically speaking, with his knowledge and courage, there was no need for him to be afraid of a mere Princess Theresa. But when Theresa came to Monte Cristo Island, she made a surprise attack and investigated her account of selling gems. As a result, Seize your own "handle".
Precisely because Theresa had the leverage, even though he gritted his teeth with hatred, he would always feel a little guilty when facing Theresa.
But at this time, he made up his mind and put this guilty conscience aside.
"Miss Agnes..." He smiled and nodded, saying hello to Agnes.
