In front of the people around him, Aigron kissed his wife's face as if no one else was watching, while General Treville also looked at the young couple's affectionate display of affection with an expressionless face.
He could see that His Majesty and Princess Teresa did have a deep relationship. Different from the usual political marriages of royal descendants, the two of them had really gone through hardships together - in other words, Princess Teresa's status was unparalleled.
What is unshakable is that no matter what he thinks in his heart, he must maintain a friendly relationship with her on the surface.
But at the same time, through his son's observation, the general also knew that the majesty he was loyal to was a passionate man who liked beauty, and his relationship with his wife did not prevent him from hanging out in the flowers. After all, isn't that what we French are like?
?
Once Princess Teresa returns to Ioannina, the young Majesty will be able to play freely for a long time.
Is this also part of His Majesty's calculations? If true, it would be too scheming...
With such joking thoughts, General Treville silently took a sip of wine.
At this moment, he suddenly noticed that the two majesties had separated, and Princess Theresa was turning her eyes to glare at him, with a very unkind look in her eyes, as if she was about to lose her temper with him.
Damn it, does this little girl still have the ability to read minds? Although he still pretended to be calm and expressionless on the surface, the Marquis of Treville was inevitably a little guilty.
"Marquis de Treville, my husband has agreed to your proposal and will sneak into France under your leadership and bear unpredictable risks with his own body -" With cold eyes, Trey
Sha continued without any politeness, "I'm not blaming you for making such a proposal, but you can also see that my husband has placed his own safety on you and on the man he just met.
The person you met for the first time... Who are you? We have only heard about it from others before, but we don't really understand it, so we are taking risks. You may be an incompetent person, or you may be a spy, whether it is
Either of these situations will make us doomed."
"Teresa, don't say that!" Aigron felt that his wife had gone too far and quickly stopped her.
However, Teresa just looked away from Agron, and then continued, "Do you think I am right, General?"
It turned out that it was because of this... The general was secretly relieved.
He didn't wonder why Princess Teresa's attitude was so severe, so severe that she almost ignored etiquette.
After all, her son had already offended her a long time ago, and now he wanted to drag away her beloved husband when they met. No matter how reasonable she was, it was impossible for her not to be angry at all.
So, let her vent her anger...
After figuring out the joints, Marquis Treville became calm again, "You are right, I may be a spy setting a trap for Your Majesty; I may also be a purely incompetent person, boasting all over the world.
Later, there was no guarantee that these possibilities existed, and I can't prove it for myself now, so you can definitely doubt it... In fact, when I proposed to His Majesty before, I actively asked to stay as a hostage until Your Majesty successfully leaves France.
After entering the country, I returned to the country. Unexpectedly, His Majesty directly vetoed my proposal and asked me to take him back. To be honest, I admired His Majesty's courage and was even more grateful for his trust in me. So I have made up my mind, even if I am messed up.
, but also to protect His Majesty’s safety.”
After hearing the whole story, Theresa's eyes filled with tears again.
"My husband is so magnanimous, which is one of the reasons why I like him." She raised her head proudly, and then gave the order to the Marquis of Treville in a decisive manner, "General, based on the reasons I just mentioned,
I think you have an obligation to safeguard his safety. If anything happens to him, I will regard you as the primary responsible person. Even if you have not been sanctioned by a human court, I will let you and your family go in the name of God.
The most painful punishment will never be less painful than what I suffered! You may think that I am unkind, but for the sake of my husband and my family, I will not care about human kindness. Please remember me
The weight of these words!”
Although Teresa's voice was not loud, her firm determination still shook the heart of Marquis Treville.
Of course, this general, who had been through life and death countless times on the battlefield, was not afraid of this, but even so, he could not help but be in awe of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
She looks delicate and frail, but she also has such a strong will. No wonder she can do such a big thing and forcefully bring back an engagement that was about to fall apart... Alas, my plan was thwarted by such people.
, it is not considered unjust.
"I will keep your teachings in mind." Marquis Treville also raised his head and replied to Teresa with a solemn and solemn expression, "I suggested it, then I will be responsible. I am willing to guarantee it with my life and fortune.
Your Majesty’s safety... If something happens to Your Majesty, don’t bother you to come to me to settle matters, because the enemy will have already stepped over my body by then!”
Teresa looked at the general's expression in silence, and after a moment she finally showed a satisfied smile. "Okay, I believe you. I have known for a long time that the Treville family is a famous noble family in France, and has produced several outstanding figures.
The country has contributed many talented people, but after all, the blood of heroes still flows in your veins... Well, I will entrust my husband to you, and I wish you all the best when the time comes."
"Leave it to me, Your Majesty the Queen." Marquis Treville nodded enthusiastically, "I will make the plan come true smoothly and will never bring shame to my ancestors."
Aigron, who had been watching the conversation between the two people, couldn't help but feel a little moved at this time.
"In such a good time, we shouldn't make the atmosphere so serious - as far as I'm concerned, our current situation is very optimistic, and everything is developing in a good direction. I believe that as long as we work hard, this operation will also be surprising.
It ends without any danger." At this point, he picked up the wine glass and said, "Let's drink to France, I will soon step on her land..."
"Cheers!" Although the remaining two people had their own thoughts, no one could dissuade him, so they raised their wine glasses together and toasted to the country they worked tirelessly to obtain.
After taking a sip of wine, Theresa looked at Marquis Treville again.
Although Theresa had instinctive disgust when she first saw him, after the conversation just now, the Marquis's assurance and the demeanor he showed made Theresa take a high look.
But these alone were not enough to erase the resentment accumulated in Teresa's heart. They only raised her impression to the level of "Although her son is not very good, his father still has some ancestors' demeanor after all."
"General." Then she spoke to the Marquis again, "I have met your only son Mr. Edgar before. He has a very good artistic talent and is also very good at flattering others in his speech... But, I
It can be seen that unlike you, he is not interested in taking risks, and he may not like to participate in a political cause. Rather than saying that he wants to be a Bonapartist, it is better to say that he prefers to be a Parisian playboy.
.”
Teresa's comments were very rude, but the Marquis of Treville did not refute his son - because he knew that what the other person said was the truth.
It was precisely because it was the truth that it hurt his heart even more.
The Marquis of Treville sighed and showed an annoyed look.
Then, he picked up the wine glass and took a big sip of wine, then sighed.
"I know you are right...but what can I do now? If my wife had not passed away early, the situation would definitely not be like this."
Then, he continued dejectedly, "You must know that I am an exiled nobleman. During the Revolution, my father was guillotined, and my brother and I were still teenagers at the time. We had to flee outside the country.
Finally we settled in Germany. There we learned the shoemaker's trade to make a living, and then we became adults.
Then we each married the daughters of exiled nobles. Just think about it. We were poor and had no titles. How could any local nobles or wealthy businessmen be willing to marry us? Fortunately, my wife is gentle and virtuous.
, we help each other, which makes our poor life a little more warm.
It's just that... because of the homeless life, my wife is in very poor health. I have always had a premonition in my heart, but I dare not face the reality. I can only pray to God to have mercy on us.
Later, His Majesty the Emperor ascended the throne and issued proclamations many times, declaring that he would pardon the crimes of the fleeing nobles and welcome us back to the country. My brother did not want to return to the country to pray for favors from him, but I did not want my wife to continue to live a miserable life.
So after thinking about it for a while, I took my wife and my newborn son back to China, and then worked for His Majesty the Emperor in exchange for favor..."
After saying this, there was a lot of nostalgia in his eyes, "After I served your majesty, I fought bravely, and your majesty was also happy to see a member of the Treville family decorating his court, so he gave me many rewards.
, I realized my wish... But God still did not have mercy on me after all. In that unfortunate year of 1809, I followed His Majesty on an expedition to Austria, but after I returned home in triumph, I received the bad news that my wife was seriously ill...
…
I cried and prayed beside her bed like crazy, but the miracle didn't happen. She passed away and left me and my son in the world. Before she died, she asked me to take good care of Edgar, and I agreed with tears.
From that time on, I played the role of both parents at the same time. But as God testifies, I have been wandering around for half my life. I am exhausted just being a father. How do I know how to play two roles at the same time? When I came back to my senses,
My son is already like this... You are right, he is such a person, he has no willpower and no lofty goals. He just wants to go with the flow and have fun. How could I not know this as a father? But how can I
What should I do? I’m already old, and no matter how much I discipline me, I can’t change it. I can only watch helplessly as I humiliate my ancestors..."
As soon as he said this, he suddenly choked up and covered his face - it was obvious that he had been suffering from this pain and could not let it go.
Aigron and Teresa looked at each other. This was the first time since they saw the general that he had shown such a vulnerable look.
A man with such a strong character and a lot of wisdom, actually has no choice but to sigh in vain when it comes to his son. The ancients in the East said that a true man will inevitably have an unvirtuous wife and an unfilial son. It seems to be true everywhere.
However, if you think about it carefully, it can be understood - the Marquis lost his wife in his early years, and he fought with Emperor Napoleon's army for many years. The child grew up alone at home. How could the people around him who took care of him dare to disobey this young master? In addition, the Marquis was a young man at the time.
The high-ranking military officer was naturally very wealthy and had a lot of money to satisfy the desires of the little kid Edgar. When he came to his senses over time, it was normal for the kid to grow crooked.
What's more, Edgar is good-looking and has artistic talent. He is the favorite type of ladies and ladies. He has been hunting for women in the entertainment industry since he was a boy, which invisibly cultivated and encouraged his dissolute and unrestrained behavior.
I can't bring myself back to my hobby.
Teresa was also greatly shocked.
She didn't like the Trevilles, but she also didn't like to take pleasure in other people's traumas.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought up this topic." She apologized in a low voice, and her attitude towards the Marquis softened. "Mr. Edgar has a father like you. He should be lucky for the rest of his life.
.”
Compared to Theresa, Agron's considerations are much more straightforward.
"No one is a saint, and there will always be various shortcomings. Who can avoid them? Besides, if everyone has great ambitions and perseveres, wouldn't the world be in chaos? There is no need to blame him too harshly, since
He likes to enjoy wealth and wealth, so when our business is successful, in order to reward you for your contribution, I will give him wealth and honor."
Then, he changed his tone again, "And, as far as I can see, your daughter-in-law, Mrs. Alice, is very good. With her here, I think you can avoid the tragedy of the previous generation this time - she can teach you well."
grandchildren, so that you can find the heir you want."
Aigron's comfort helped Marquis Treville come out of his depression.
"You are right, my daughter-in-law is nothing to say! I think my son's only achievement in his life is to coax her to come to my house - I admire him for this, because I don't have this ability.
He nodded, and then said with a hint of self-deprecation, "Alice takes care of the family affairs for me, which saves me a lot of trouble. It is also she who works hard to maintain our family. With her here, I believe that my grandson will be happy."
Seniors will be the same as me or even stronger than me."
After he finished speaking, he took out a pocket watch from his pocket, then opened the cover of the pocket watch, and a clump of slender golden hair was revealed inside.
"This is my granddaughter Xia Lu's hair." His serious face was full of love and showing off at this moment, "She is a very cute child, and it was you who named her."
When Xialu was just born, the Marquis of Treville felt regretful that his first grandson was a girl. He especially wanted a grandson to inherit his career - but soon, he was replaced by his grandson.
I was so moved by my daughter's cuteness that I hung around her all day long, enjoying the long-lost family happiness.
"Yeah, think about it carefully, our lovely Miss Xia Lu is almost one year old..." Aigron looked at Teresa, and then said with a smile, "Before I return to France this time, I have to prepare something for her.
