After bidding farewell to Galois, Aigron left Paris with his entourage. However, they did not return to Fontainebleau immediately. Instead, when approaching the palace, they slightly shifted their direction and came to the palace near the palace.
In a remote manor.
This is naturally the manor that Aigron gave to Agnes.
When Aiglon first bought it, it was located in a remote and somewhat abandoned place. Now more than half a year has passed, and although it has been renovated, it is still as quiet as before, and there are not even many traces of human habitation.
This is also Agnes's personal request. She hopes to keep her residence in such a lonely state. She rarely receives guests here and has never held any social banquets. She just wants to live quietly in this place and get rid of all the
The world is in turmoil.
As the public mistress of His Majesty the Emperor, Miss Agnes is well-known throughout Europe, and has naturally become the focus of attention from all walks of life. Many people want to get close to her or curry favor with her to take advantage of the opportunity, but Agnes has greatly disappointed them.
, almost never disclosed any important information, and never interfered in politics, as if she knew nothing about her "lucky".
Now, because she is pregnant, she appears less often in the public eye, which makes people in the social world gradually forget about her existence——
Of course, Agron would not neglect his lover. He would come to the manor regularly to visit Agnes, spend some time with her, and was even more prepared to witness the birth of their child.
As usual, Aigron left his followers at the gate with a fence, and then came alone to the house located among woods and meadows.
And Agnes was already waiting here, but because of her pregnancy, she did not go down the steps, but greeted him at the door. The Duchess, who stayed with her daughter to take care of her, stood respectfully beside Agnes.
Next to Nisi, he bowed his head and saluted his "son-in-law".
"Your Majesty..." Looking at the dusty Aigron, Agnes showed a warm smile, "Thank you for your hard work."
Agnes has been pregnant for more than half a year now, and her bulging belly has greatly affected her movement. Fortunately, she has exercised since she was a child and is not as weak as those delicate ladies, so she can still walk around every day.
"Thank you for your hard work, Agnes." Agron walked up to Agnes and kissed her face affectionately. "Is everything going well?"
"Thank God, everything is going well. It's just that the little guy is a little noisy and makes some noises from time to time. Sometimes it hurts me badly! I dare say he must be a brat and he must be taught a lesson." Agni
Silk coquettishly told Aigron in a tone that looked like she was complaining, but was actually happy, "The doctor said that the fetus is developing well. He suggested that I take a walk with my family when I'm fine, breathe fresh air, and prevent leg edema... Yes
It’s good for both mother and child.”
As a new mother, Agnes was troubled by the pain and inconvenience caused by pregnancy, but the gradual growth of the fetus in her belly brought her endless freshness and full of expectations. She obviously couldn't wait for the baby.
Being able to be born safely becomes a new milestone in my life.
Eggron had once witnessed the entire process of a girl becoming a mother through Teresa, so he was not surprised or nervous. He just used gentle words and actions to comfort her.
"It's okay, Agnes, you just need to endure it a little longer... You will definitely become a mother smoothly. When he is born, we will teach him a lesson together!"
"But it would be better if it was a daughter." Agnes suddenly changed her mind, "Look, Xia Lu is so cute. It would be great if we could have a daughter like her!"
"Of course that's good! I also want to have a Xia Lu of my own -" Aigron knew that pregnant women often have changeable ideas, and it was just for oral pleasure anyway, so he just followed her thoughts and agreed, "But
, it doesn’t matter even if it’s not a girl this time, the days are still long, at worst we can just try again, there will always be something..."
Because her mother was present, Agnes lowered her head in shame and said nothing, while the Duchess beside her covered her mouth and laughed softly.
For the madam, her daughter is the "talisman" of the family's current prosperity. What she hopes most is that her daughter will always be honored and favored and can always be by His Majesty's side. Judging from His Majesty's tone,
She doesn't have to worry about this.
Although his daughter had to temporarily withdraw from the court due to pregnancy recently, leaving the center stage of power, and even her family's reputation has become somewhat dim, but as long as she recovers her health after giving birth, everything can go back to the way it was before.
The key is that His Majesty has already said that as long as Agnes gives birth to a boy, he will immediately recognize his identity and make him a Duke. This is a godsend for his family. After all, this child will definitely
He was raised by his own couple. When he grows up, he will become the protector of his family considering the love of incense.
Because of this plan, Madam has been taking careful care of her daughter during this time, for fear that something might happen to Agnes.
"Agnes, since you are so greedy for Alice's child, there is a great opportunity now." In order to amuse the two of them, the lady made a joke. "Don't forget, Alice is pregnant now. You guys
The two due dates are not that far apart. If these two children are cousins, we might as well let them kiss each other... This way, they are also your children, wouldn't it be great? "
Agnes was instantly amused, but she didn't show too much resistance.
After all, in this era, there are many examples of cousins getting married, and she doesn't think it's strange. In fact, because she has a good relationship with her sister, she is happy to see it happen.
However, the speaker was unintentional but the listener was interested. Aigron's smile froze slightly, but fortunately no one noticed.
The children of these two sisters were both their "masterpieces", how could they be combined together? This was not a joke. He was instantly panicked.
"This is not possible!" He subconsciously rejected his wife's proposal.
"Huh?" Both mother and daughter were a little surprised by his resolute attitude, so their eyes were focused on Aigron.
Agron reacted immediately at this time. Fortunately, he was quick-witted and made up the rhetoric in his mind in an instant, "Although Agnes's child cannot use the royal title, since I have recognized him, and I am ready to
If I transfer the title of Duke of Lechstadt to him, then he can be regarded as a prince for the time being, so when he grows up, I will find a princess for him to marry so that he can enjoy the honor of a prince.
I don’t have any objections to Mrs. Alice, but this kind of marriage is not suitable..."
Aigron's words were reasonable, so the lady immediately gave up her doubts. She only regarded it as His Majesty's special treatment for her daughter, "Your Majesty... You have really thought far and far for Agnes and her son. What a favor this is! Aiglon
Nice... thank your Majesty for your grace!"
Agnes also quickly thanked Agron.
However, her mood was more complicated, she was happy and sad at the same time. She was happy that her child would be able to escape the bad luck of being an illegitimate child in the future, but she was also pitiful for her sister's current situation.
Now my sister has broken up with her husband's family, and she can only raise two children all by herself. The misery just thinking about it makes Agnes feel distressed. So she also made up her mind that her sister's two children will be the same in the future.
You should treat them as your own children and try your best to educate them.
Even if you can't get married, you still need to let your children become your best friends in childhood. Let them support and help each other in the future, so that you can feel at ease.
"Your Majesty, why don't you take Agnes for a walk?" After the three of them talked and laughed for a while, the lady offered, "I'll prepare a meal for you."
Aiglon naturally accepted this proposal gladly. He stretched out his hand to support Agnes, and then led her down the steps carefully step by step, and then the two of them went for a walk on the paths between the grass and the forest.
Although it is already afternoon, the air is still fresh because there are few people here.
The lush woods and untended flowers dotted among the trees and grasses, although they do not have the neat beauty of palace gardens, are full of pure natural atmosphere and have a unique flavor.
While wandering around, these unknown flowers and the floral fragrance mixed with earthy smell rushed into his nose, making Aigron feel relaxed and happy.
After busy daily life, it is really a kind of enjoyment to be able to take a walk in the countryside.
Agnes was watching the flowers next to him. She looked at this cool and beautiful scenery that belonged to her, and then looked at her lover beside her. At the same time, she felt the blood bond between the child in her belly and herself, with an inadvertent expression on her face.
He also showed a happy smile.
Although this is not a normal family, it is enough to satisfy me... It would be great if it could continue like this.
At this moment, Aigron suddenly noticed that Agnes seemed to be worried and hesitated to speak.
"Agnes, do you have anything you want to say?" So he took the initiative to ask the other party, "Are you worried about something? Just say what you want to say, don't hold it back, it's not good for your health."
"Your Majesty, I have nothing to worry about. I just have a question in my mind lately..." Agnes hesitated for a moment, then answered.
"What question?" Aigron asked.
Agnes hesitated for a moment, but finally seemed to make up her mind, and then she asked straight to the point.
"Your Majesty, what is going on between you and Princess Maria?"
Aigron was also stunned, and then he asked with a smile.
"What's going on? She is our distinguished guest——"
"Is it really just a guest?" Agnes was not fooled, but continued to ask seriously, "Although I live here in seclusion recently and don't go out easily, even I have heard some rumors about her.
Not to mention the outside world, it has already spread a lot."
Aigron knew in his heart that he could no longer dodge, so he had to stop and spread his hands. "What rumors?"
Although she knew that Agron was asking questions knowingly, Agnes still patiently explained to him.
"It's said that you seem to have some extraordinary relationship with her..."
"This is a rumor." Aigron responded immediately, "Yes, she and I have known each other for a long time, but apart from that, nothing happened between us."
Although Aigron answered decisively, Agnes's eyes flickered when she looked at him, obviously not believing it.
Aigron immediately complained secretly in his heart. No one believed him when he told the truth. It can be seen that his previous "bad deeds" have created a strong stereotype for people, and even those close to him are not immune to this stereotype.
"Your Majesty, if you really have nothing to do with her, then why do you want to deceive the world?" After a moment of silence, Agnes, who has always been outspoken and unable to hide her thoughts, finally couldn't help but continue to ask. "
She actually came to our place a long time ago, right? You only publicly invited her later."
Next, before Aigron could speak, she told her about the banquet held at her home and her chance encounter with Maria.
The more Aiglon listened, the more confused he became. When Maria wanted to visit Agnes' house on a whim, he had objected to it, but now it turned out that he had indeed gotten into trouble.
So, he sighed, and then nodded helplessly, "Okay, I did lie about this matter. She did come long ago and met with me many times, but at least now we are not
Selfless——"
"Is it just now?" Agnes keenly caught the loophole.
Well……
"Who can tell clearly what will happen in the future?" Aigron asked, "At this time, we should not engage in such meaningless discussions."
Agnes' eyes suddenly dimmed. Although Agron did not give a clear answer, to her, the answer was actually obvious.
"Your Majesty... I know you are unhappy now. As a servant, I should give in and find other ways to make you happy. However, can I boldly ask you to listen to a few more words from my heart?" Agnes
Asked quietly.
Aigron was indeed unhappy now, but the affection between the two people made him have no choice but to suppress his impatience.
"Please tell me."
"You see that I have been asking her about things. You may think that I am telling you this out of jealousy and do not want to be replaced by others... In fact, I have always been afraid that you will have this misunderstanding, so I
You have been silent until now." With a little sadness, Agnes continued, "But, actually, I didn't want to stop you from looking for flowers and flowers. After all, you have always been like this, and even Her Majesty the Queen can't stop you.
, as a servant, what right do I have to interfere with you?
But... Her Highness Maria is different. She has been in contact with me before. She has very obvious hostility towards Queen Teresa. She also deliberately provokes her and wants to win me over to deal with Her Majesty the Queen. The rumors outside also prove that she wants to make a big move.
Trying to go against Her Majesty the Queen. So I want to ask you, why? Why are you so indulgent to her? Are you really fascinated by her? Or is there some hidden secret? Your Majesty, can you explain it to me?
Or do you think I am not qualified to know this? "
