"Okay, let Poseidon witness it. I'm glad to have you by my side, Teresa."
Eggron's words were not only spoken to Teresa, but also to himself in his heart.
Although he does not believe that there is any Poseidon in the world, since there is no Poseidon, the so-called "guarantee for the oath" is certainly impossible to come true, but since he has made this promise himself, he will take it seriously.
Being with Teresa really made him feel very interesting, and there would be nothing wrong with him if he continued to get along like this in the future.
"Your Highness..." Finally, when she got the response she wanted, Teresa was so happy that she couldn't speak. She just looked at the young man in front of her with eyes full of joy. She hugged him tightly as a way to express her gratitude.
To vent his excitement, "I will never let you regret today. Your Highness, we work together, and eventually your long-cherished wish will be fulfilled, and the glory of the Bonaparte family will be restored... Not only the sea, but also the sky will be
Your name will be resounding and your great deeds will be praised."
"No, not just me, but also you. No matter what I have done or become, your name will be connected to my name, just like today." Aigron replied with a smile, and then he gently
Patted Teresa on the forehead.
"Okay, now that you are satisfied with my poem, let's continue. If I remember correctly, we are here to fish today, right?"
His implicit teasing made Teresa also smile. "Okay, let's continue."
After saying that, she finally let go and picked up the fishing rod again to continue fishing.
Of course, fishing was just an excuse for her to be alone with Aiglon and open up to each other, but now that her goal had been achieved, it wasn't a bad idea to enjoy fishing.
Just as they were preparing to fish together again, strong winds began to blow on the sea.
Driven by the wind, waves began to appear on the originally calm sea surface.
Amidst the huge sound, the waves grew bigger and bigger, and the sea rolled under the golden setting sun, like a broken mirror, with small pieces of the sea shining with golden light.
The boat started to rock and roll immediately.
Aigron held on to the edge of the boat and managed to keep himself from being knocked over.
The sea breeze roared around him, and from time to time waves splashed into the boat, making his clothes wet.
Aigron found that he was a little seasick and struggled to maintain his balance. He turned to look at Teresa and found that her expression was not very good either.
Aigron looked up at the sky again and found that it was now covered with dark clouds, and it seemed like it was going to rain heavily soon.
The wind and waves will only get bigger during the heavy rain. If you continue to stay here, if the boat is overturned by the wind and waves, the consequences will be disastrous.
Neither Agron nor Teresa are expert swimmers who can swim freely in the sea.
So now I can only run away quickly.
"Teresa, it seems we can't stay any longer." Aigron forced himself to smile, and then said to her calmly, "Shall we go back? Are you okay?"
"Well, go back." Teresa nodded quickly. "I'm fine, Your Highness."
The beautiful romantic time ended so hastily in this way. Both of them felt a little regretful, but now is not the time to think about it.
"Okay then... hold me tight!" Aigron gestured to Teresa. "I'll row back."
Teresa didn't hesitate and immediately hugged the young man.
Aiglon picked up the oar and started rowing towards the shore of Monte Cristo Island.
However, due to the resistance of the wind and waves, his rowing speed became very slow, and he could only slowly move closer to the island of Monte Cristo, which had shrunk into a black dot in the distance.
The wind and waves did not stop, and the waves kept rushing into the small boat, soaking the two people, which made it even more uncomfortable.
Aigron looked at the island in the distance, and he suddenly doubted whether he could row the boat to the destination before his strength was exhausted.
It was calm just now, so he rowed here easily; but now he is rowing back against the wind and waves, so the speed of physical exertion is completely different. Not to mention that he is not good at water yet and is only rowing with brute force.
Just when he was a little frightened, he found a large ship approaching his small boat on the other side.
Very good!
He recalled that when he and Teresa were about to row over, his personal guard captain Andre Davout had expressed concern and insisted on bringing a boat to follow them at a distance.
At the time, he only thought it was troublesome, but now it has helped him a lot.
He immediately changed the course, struggled to make the boat turn in the wind and waves, and then moved closer to the direction from which the ship came.
"Your Highness... are you okay?" While he was rowing with great difficulty, Teresa, who was holding behind him, asked worriedly.
"I'm fine, don't worry, we will be rescued soon." Aigron replied briefly, "Teresa, please be careful not to catch a cold."
"I'm not worried." Teresa replied softly, "I won't worry about anything if I stay with Your Highness."
Aigron quietly felt the warmth coming from his back.
I don't know why, but in this turbulent situation, the fear in his heart suddenly dissipated.
yes……
His whole body suddenly had endless strength.
Don’t even think about asking me to give in. How could I let my story with Teresa end here?!
With his almost crazy efforts, although the boat kept swaying in the wind and waves, it still moved closer to the opposite side little by little, and the boat on the opposite side was also approaching quickly. Apparently, they also discovered the two His Majesty.
Now in trouble.
After a while, the two ships met in the wind and waves.
The rope ladder was immediately lowered on the ship. Aigron grabbed the rope ladder and then looked back at Theresa.
"Teresa, do you still have the strength?"
"It's okay, Your Highness...don't worry about me." Teresa replied.
Although she answered like this, her pale face showed weakness. It seemed that she was also seasick when she was jolted on the boat just now.
Aiglon grabbed her hand, then pulled her tightly, and led her to the rope ladder. Then the two of them climbed up the rope ladder bit by bit, along the side of the ship, and finally, with his efforts,
Next, the two people finally came to the deck.
At almost the same time, the dark clouds in the sky began to gather and roll, and then dull thunder began to appear. The dark clouds covered the sun and plunged the sea into shadow. Where was the wind and sunshine like just now?
Finally escaping the danger, both of them breathed a sigh of relief, but Aigron immediately felt exhausted all over his body. After such a torment, his face turned pale and his arms became a little weak.
Theresa next to her had already begun to retching due to seasickness, and she finally regained her balance.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?!" Andre Davout looked at him worriedly.
"I'm fine." Aigron replied with a wry smile, "We had a lot of fun just now, but unexpectedly we encountered an unexpected situation... Fortunately, you are here, Andre."
"We saw something was wrong just now, so we sailed over immediately. Fortunately, we finally arrived in time." Andre Davout said happily, "Please be more careful about your own safety in the future. After all, we can't
It’s so timely every time.”
After finishing speaking, he secretly glanced at Theresa, with obvious resentment in his eyes.
In his opinion, His Majesty's dangers were all the result of accompanying Princess Teresa to act recklessly. If it weren't for the fact that Princess Teresa was His Majesty's fiancée, he would have denounced her outright.
"Okay, it's already happened, why are you talking so much?" Aigron noticed Andre's behavior, so he stopped him, "I insisted on being alone with Teresa, I can't blame others.
I will pay more attention in the future, thank you for the reminder."
Then, he looked at Theresa again.
Teresa also saw Andre's eyes just now, so now she feels frustrated and apologetic.
"Your Highness...I'm sorry, I didn't expect that it would suddenly become like this..."
Seeing her pitiful look, Aiglon's heart became even softer.
"Why are you apologizing? It's not your fault. I think the Poseidon is too enthusiastic!" Aigron shook his head nonchalantly. "Maybe there is a god hidden in the sea that is responding to our wishes, but it is too enthusiastic.
Okay... so let’s make such a big noise.”
While joking, he hugged Teresa and said, "Don't take this little thing to heart, let's go back."
Under his comfort, Teresa finally stopped apologizing and just leaned quietly in the young man's arms.
Looking at His Highness's caring face, Teresa was even more moved.
Just now, His Highness took him to ride the wind and waves and escape from the storm. At that time, she was holding him behind her and escaped from the danger safely.
His shoulders are so strong and reliable, protecting and tolerating himself.
Maybe the storm just now was a trial given by Poseidon? Theresa thought to herself.
She didn't know what Poseidon would think of the result, but in short she was very satisfied. His Highness never thought of leaving her until the last moment. It was enough for her to care about her safety.
Your Highness has never left me, so I must do the same.
Soon, Andre Davout asked someone to drive the boat back to Monte Cristo Island. The boat passed through the wind, rain and waves, and reached the trestle on the island. Aigron took Teresa and walked off the boat, and finally
This turmoil ended.
The two of them walked back to their room, and Chanel looked at them, shocked.
"Your Majesty! What's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing. We just went boating on the sea and encountered some wind and rain." Aigron shrugged, "Hurry up and get some clothes for Teresa to change. They are all soaked."
"Yes." Although Chanel had a lot of doubts in her heart, it was obviously not the time to ask more questions. She quickly took out the clothes from Theresa's wardrobe, and then came over to help Theresa change them.
Aigron exited the room, preparing to change his clothes.
In silence, Chanel carefully changed Teresa's dress.
Then, she asked about what just happened.
"It's nothing. I asked Your Highness to go fishing with me in the sea, but we got caught in a storm." Teresa replied with a wry smile, "Not only did we get nothing, we almost fell into the sea ourselves... It's really annoying."
"It's actually like this!" Chanel was so frightened that he turned pale. "Your Highness, please don't put Your Majesty in danger again in the future."
"I will learn a lesson." Teresa nodded apologetically, "However, in a sense, this time is not entirely bad news. I can finally say loudly that I was right."
"What do you mean?" Chanel asked.
"Ever since I was a child, I sometimes have unrealistic dreams. My parents always scold me for my fantasies. They think I have lost my mind while reading and don't know how to proceed from reality. But I am very confused. If everyone
If you can only see the reality in front of you and don't pursue your own wishes, then how poor and boring life must be? No one told me the answer, as if boring has become a conventional rule, and everyone should live in such a boring way.
, until the end of my life.”
Teresa quietly looked at the mirror in front of her, feeling a little selfless for a moment. "Fortunately, I met His Highness. He made my dreams come true. He has all the conditions I added for my partner in my dreams."
At first I thought this was just a childish fantasy, and I didn't dare to take it seriously!
Although His Highness has denied in front of me time and time again that he is by no means the ideal person in my dreams, he is wrong...he is. Just because I know he is, I desperately want to catch him, so I came
When I get here, I would rather pay the price of abandoning everything, because I know that my dream will come true for him only this time, and there will never be a second time. I am glad that I succeeded... God, thank you for letting me
Success! Hey, it would be great if I had the opportunity to write to my mother now to let her share my joy..."
Chanel stood aside blankly, listening to Theresa's confession.
She didn't expect that Princess Teresa would express her feelings in such dramatic words. Maybe she was speaking to herself.
As early as when she was in the Austrian court, she heard everyone say that Princess Theresa liked literature and was even a little addicted to it. It seemed that this was indeed the case.
However, Chanel was not unable to understand Teresa's mood because she also thought so in her heart, but she just didn't know how to express it exactly.
Maybe I can't say something as eloquent and brilliant as Her Majesty the Princess, but when it comes to loyalty and love for Her Majesty, how can I lose to her?
It's a pity that fate can only let me get to this point.
If Princess Teresa can be beneficial to His Majesty's cause, she can finally feel a little relieved.
Even so, I still feel a little sad inside.
"Shall I continue combing your hair?" She sighed secretly in her heart, and then picked up the comb.
"Chanel, thank you for taking care of me." Teresa closed her eyes obediently and let the comb stroke her wet hair. "I know that your relationship with His Highness is extraordinary, but that is also
You deserve the reward after you have paid so much. No matter whether His Highness's future career is successful or unsuccessful, I will do my best to save your life. In the future, I will also be willing to respect you and value you as much as Your Highness, and let you share our glory...
...So, I ask you to respect me in the future and act according to my instructions without violating His Highness's will, okay? This is a request, not an order. Although I theoretically have the right to order you, I think I should respect you.
Your will is more important, because you are the one we can truly trust."
Chanel's hand stopped.
"I understand, Your Highness." After a moment, she nodded calmly and continued to comb her hair. "No matter what happens, I will always respect you."
