40, determined

"And I will definitely see that day alive!"

The Marquis Treville's tears made Egron feel moved when he saw it.

"Yes, it's soon, and we're accelerating the occurrence of this inevitable event." He replied with a confident look. "It's worth taking risks for this, because in addition to the Bourbon royal family, we have a hidden enemy and a more difficult opponent."

The Marquis Treville immediately understood what he meant.

"The Orleans family is indeed more difficult to deal with." He nodded immediately and agreed. "The Bourbon royal family was unpopular, and King Charles X even made everyone want him to finish it quickly. However, the Duke of Orleans is different. He is ambitious and good at disguising himself and possesses the ability to demagogue people. He is also deliberately trying to win over all forces to promote and build momentum for himself and accumulate power. He is definitely a more terrible opponent. We must be wary of them robbing our fruits of victory."

Aegron fell into deep thought, and suddenly he recalled that a year ago, a confidant of the Duke of Orleans visited Schonbrunn Palace and visited him. The two of them had an unpleasant meeting, and he was still impressed to this day.

"Have you heard of Phoenix Gordon?" So he asked casually.

"Do you know this man?" Marquis Treville asked in surprise, then nodded again. "I have heard of him, a once-famous politician who is now serving the Duke of Orleans, but I have no friendship with him and I am not sure of his actual situation."

"When I had not escaped from Vienna more than a year ago, Mr. Gordon secretly came to Vienna and visited me." Egron explained to the general the story of his meeting with Gordon indifferent calmness.

When Gordon heard that he could pay six million francs a year to him in exchange for his public statement that he would not seek the throne of France and support the Duke of Orleans to ascend the throne, Marquis Treville couldn't help but sneer, "What a naive person, he wants to buy out France for six million a year!"

"It's not that he has such a low bid. After all, I was just a down-and-out prince who was imprisoned at that time. He was willing to bribe me with money, so he respected me." Egron shrugged without any anger. "Of course, even though I was down-and-out, I did not admit defeat. I firmly rejected his proposal."

"That should be, your Majesty." Marquis Treville agreed deeply.

Then he thought of something, "Is this what the Duke of Orleans himself mean?"

"I don't know, but I think that since Mr. Gordon dared to make such a proposal on behalf of the Duke of Orleans, either he came to me on the orders of the Duke of Orleans; or he was the Duke's confidant, and could help the Duke make a decision, it means that he is definitely an extremely important person. After you return home, you might as well pay attention to this guy."

Marquis Treville nodded, remembering the name in his heart, and then carefully inquire about this guy after he returned to Paris.

At present, the Bourbon family is poor. Louis XVI and his wife have gone to the guillotine one after another. Their sons are dead, leaving only one eldest daughter, Princess Mary Theresa Charlotte, who is still alive (later escaped from France and married her cousin, the son of King Charles X, Duke Angoulem.)

King Charles X himself had two sons, the eldest son Duke Angoulem married Louis XVI's eldest princess, and the couple had nothing to do; while the youngest son Duke Berry was romantic, had countless lovers, and gave birth to many illegitimate children, who were shot dead by a Bonaparte in 1820.

The romantic prince died young and left four (!) posthumous sons, but only the posthumous son of his legitimate wife, Earl Chambor, was the true heir of the royal family (that is, Henry V, who had never been a pretender of the king's throne in the future).

In other words, there are only three males in the Bourbon royal family, King Charles X, his eldest son Louis Antoine Duke of Angoulleme, and Henry, the young Duke of Chambor.

The Duke of Orleans is different. During his exile, he married Princess Maria Amaria, a branch of the Sicily Kingdom of Bourbon, and gave birth to ten children in his subsequent marriage, eight of whom survived and established a big family. His vigorous vitality and ambition were enough to be revealed.

This ambitious family was a master of fishing for troubled waters during the Great Revolution. The former Duke of Orleans actively participated in the revolution and turned his family's mansion, the Royal Palace, into a revolutionary incitement center. In order to please the third level, he even changed his name to Philip Equality. In the end, he did not escape the bloody storm of the Jacobin dictatorship and was sent to the guillotine.

However, the death of his father did not destroy his son's ambitions. The new generation of the Duke of Orleans was still advancing along his father's path, fighting unyieldingly to seize the royal power.

Aegron believed that after killing the Bourbon Wang family, he would sooner or later have another fight with the Orleans family. He did not have any luck, but he would never be afraid to hesitate that his career would never be hindered by anyone. He would kick away whoever was in the road. What's the difference between one more and one less!?

Next, Egron and Marquis Treville discussed the specific details of the next infiltrating into France.

In order not to cause trouble to the Bavarian royal family (of course, it is mainly to not lose the favor he finally got), Egron decided to take action after leaving Bavaria so that Bavaria could separate its ties without facing the political pressure from France.

The Marquis of Treville could not stay abroad for a long time. Although he had always pretended that he had pneumonia and had to stay at home, he was inevitably seen over time.

So, this means that he must end this journey as soon as possible and put farewell to Bavaria on the agenda.

During this period, Egron has visited the Nymphenburg Palace as a distinguished guest. He has also enjoyed the long-lost palace life, which is comfortable and comfortable. But now, such a good day is about to end, and he does not feel regretful.

After talking about the political topic, Egron invited the Marquis of Treville to have dinner with his and his wife.

When the two of them went to the dining room for dinner, Teresa, who had been waiting here, immediately turned her eyes on the two of them.

"Egron, you're here," she said with a slight complaint.

Next she looked at the Marquis Treville next to her husband. While carefully examining the other person's appearance, she nodded gently, and then said hello to the other person in a non-reflective tone, "Good evening, Marquis Treville... You are indeed as powerful as I imagined, a mighty soldier."

She didn't like my worldly-savvy Marquis Treville confirmed this fact at the first moment.

He was not surprised because his son Edgar had already offended the princess, and this was due to his reasons.

Before Edgar left France, he did not know that Princess Teresa had found His Majesty again, so he planned to match His Majesty and Agnes, so that his daughter-in-law's sister would become one of the backers for the future development of his family; however, he did not expect that after coming to Greece, Edgar found that Teresa had come to His Majesty. In his annoyance, Edgar made a decision alone to ignore this reality, continue to implement the original plan, and strive to create various opportunities to enhance the "feeling" between His Majesty and Agnes.

After returning to China, Edgar naturally told his father about this, and Marquis Treville deeply agreed with this.

Anyway, for both father and son, protecting their own wealth is the main purpose, and Miss Agnes is still useful even if she becomes His Majesty's lover.

From Edgar's return, Marquis Treville judged that although His Majesty had not succeeded for the time being, he must have taken Miss Agnes to heart. This was a good start. He did not want to stop his son, but instead he planned to have the opportunity to continue doing so in the future.

There is no doubt that he will offend Princess Theresa severely, but... there are choices in everything. Since he has offended him anyway, it would be better to do it thoroughly. As long as Agnes is enough to please His Majesty, His Majesty's anger will not be so terrible.

Although he thought so in his heart, Marquis Treville was still respectful to Theresa on the surface.

"My Majesty Queen, I am deeply honored to have the opportunity to meet you. I have been waiting for a long time today. Your beauty is enough to add color to the Palace of Nymphenburg, and your wisdom and courage are enough to be our role model. I sincerely believe that the Bonaparte family can be promoted again through His Majesty and your hands."

"She has done it," Aegron said with a smile, "Tell you good news, General, my wife has confirmed to be pregnant, and in a few months you will receive good news that Teresa and I will have our first child."

"This is so great!" General Treville smiled sincerely. Although he and Princess Theresa are on the opposite side, His Majesty is about to have children, which also means the smooth continuation of the Bonaparte family, and it is also good news for him. "Thank God, you have successfully welcomed the children after your marriage, which also means that fate is also favoring the Bonaparte family! This news will surely make your supporters happy when you reach France."

"They may not be so happy, after all, they are another child born to the Habsburg princess." Teresa suddenly interrupted, "Maybe in the eyes of many people, the Bonaparte family has too many Austrian bloodlines now, which is a pity?"

Because I was always resentful about this issue, Teresa became sarcastic. In her heart, Edgar de Treville, the bastard, was deliberately provoking the "culprit" of opposition to the French people around her. As Edgar's father, Marquis Treville must have been a similar advocate, so she sarcastically wanted to prevent the Marquis from coming to Taiwan.

"Where are you saying this? We are heroic soldiers, but we never care about the origin of blood. For us, it is natural for us to follow the emperor and the descendants of the emperor!" Marquis Treville's face remained unchanged and he immediately replied loudly, "And you are His Majesty the Queen and our mistress. This is a fact that cannot be questioned. If anyone disrespects you in the future, I will never spare him."

"Yes, Teresa, don't think too much." Aegron also comforted his wife, "I am also the son of the Austrian princess. Does anyone dare to question my inheritance qualifications? Our children will definitely receive blessings and allegiance from everyone, just like me."

"Well, that's fine." Teresa finally smiled, then waved to her husband, signaling him to lean against her. "I'm just worried that some ill-minded villains will distract us because of their sinister purpose."

Marquis Treville knew who she was talking about, but he just thought that he didn't hear it.

He had been in the court of Emperor Napoleon for so long, and he had seen countless intrigues and sinister acts. Now this little thing is not enough to make him care about.

Aegron obeyed his wife's wishes, and the two leaned intimately together, while the Marquis of Treville sat upright across from them, and the three began to dine together.

While dining, Egron told his wife what he had just planned and Marquis Treville.

When Teresa heard that Egron was planning to sneak into France and show up publicly, he was immediately scared.

"Your Highness! Why are you so risky?"

"Sometimes we have to take risks," Egron replied with a smile, "you should be able to figure it out."

Theresa was speechless.

She could roughly guess her husband's considerations, and to be fair, she also felt something was right. Now, Egron is time to appear directly to France.

But the truth is the truth, but psychologically she finds it difficult to accept it.

They were just getting oil in the newlywed relationship, especially when they had a child just now. If her husband made a mistake, she would not dare to imagine how she would live.

"Don't think about it again?" she asked with pain.

"No, I have decided that this is what I need to do." Egron answered firmly, and then he said to Theresa gently, "Tresa, when I say goodbye to King Ludwig, you should go back to Joannina first, and take care of my baby, waiting for my news."

"How can this work? We are a couple, and we should face everything together. How can we put me out of the matter!" Teresa immediately protested.

"Don't do this, Theresa... You are pregnant and are not suitable to go around. Now it's more important to give birth to our children safely. Just let me do the risky things alone." Egron gently stroked Theresa's face, "Don't worry, I will never have anything to do."

Seeing that her husband had made up his mind and knew that what he said was right, Teresa had no choice but to do anything, and tears suddenly burst into tears.

"Okay... OK, since you have decided, I will do it... but you must agree to a request."

"Tell me," Egron replied immediately.

"If...if fate sets a disaster for us and your actions are inaccurate, please don't resist fiercely, just let them catch you." Teresa's eyes were filled with tears, and then said solemnly, "Whether it is spending money or asking her father to come forward to plead, I will do everything possible to save you. Don't do anything stupid."
