"No matter what happens, I will always respect you."
Chanel's answer made Teresa nod with satisfaction.
"Perhaps I am indeed immersed in a self-woven dream, but I enjoy it and hope that I will not wake up. In order to maintain my dream, I am willing to do my best... cough..." As she said this, she suddenly coughed,
"After all, it is such a precious luxury to be able to persist in dreaming while you are alive, ahem..."
"Your Highness, please stop talking!" Chanel felt something was wrong and quickly stopped Theresa. "You have caught a cold just now, so you should take a good rest now."
Then, she quickly walked out of the door and called Aigron back.
Aigron had already changed his clothes, and after hearing Chanel's report, he quickly walked back to the room.
"How are you, Teresa?"
"I'm fine, Your Highness, I'm just happy..." Teresa replied softly.
Having said that, Aigron was still a little worried.
"Then you should rest first."
He took Theresa back to his bedroom, and then helped Theresa lie down on the bed.
Then, he touched Teresa's forehead and found that her body temperature was a little higher than normal.
Damn it!
He was a little upset because Teresa obviously had a cold.
It's not surprising when you think about it. Teresa has been pampered since she was a child. After coming to this desert island, although there are still people taking care of her, her living standard must have dropped a lot. In addition, her physique is average, so even if there is no accident today,
I guess it’s easy to get sick after a while.
When he thought of this, his heart was filled with guilt.
"Teresa, I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of you."
"No, Your Highness, it's me who has caused you trouble..." Teresa blinked, and then laughed, "I'm really sorry that I haven't been able to help you much now, but instead I've dragged you down, but I
It will be fine soon..."
As she spoke, she coughed quietly, obviously trying very hard to suppress herself.
Looking at her look, Aigron felt a little distressed. "I hope so."
"Don't worry, as long as you are by my side, I will be fine." Teresa's face turned redder and redder, "I will accomplish so many great things with you, and together we will bring our family to its glorious peak.
…”
"Stop talking, it will happen, it will definitely happen." Aigron leaned down and hugged her, then whispered comforting, "Anyway, you should have a good rest now, I will come back to accompany you in the evening."
"You should go to sleep somewhere else tonight, I'm afraid of infecting you." Teresa shook her head gently. "Your Highness, everyone hopes that you stay healthy so that you can receive them."
"Fuck the infection, I just want to sleep with you in my arms. A mere cold won't scare me." Aigron replied decisively, "Okay, you can rest first and wait for me to come back."
Then, Aigron put the cup on Teresa without any explanation, then walked out of the bedroom and came to Chanel.
"Did your Highness have a cold?" Chanel asked softly.
Aigron frowned, then nodded.
"In order to prevent the epidemic, the island has purchased some herbs and potions. Let me bring some to His Highness." Chanel immediately suggested, "Your Highness needs to take a good rest now."
"Okay, that's it." Aigron could only nod in agreement, "Please continue to take care of her, her health is also very important."
Aigron was upset now. He was really worried about Theresa, not out of other considerations. He didn't realize it himself. Unknowingly, he had regarded Theresa as his heart.
An extremely important person who couldn't bear to see her in pain.
Therefore, if it could reduce Teresa's pain, he would be very happy to do it.
"This is what I should do." Chanel responded, "I will take good care of her."
After the explanation, Aigron walked out of the room, and then he found two people in the corridor outside - one was Andre Davout, who was responsible for protecting him, and the other was his swordsmanship teacher Captain Foresti.
After escorting Theresa to the island, the captain stayed at Theresa's request and continued to serve Theresa.
Precisely because everyone knew that he was Her Royal Highness Teresa's "personal" and a subordinate directly under Her Royal Highness the Princess, no one questioned him about his plans, and no one gave him orders. Even Aigron did not try to include him.
to his own command.
Therefore, the captain was politely isolated by the people on the island. Everyone except Teresa ignored him. He seemed to be satisfied with this status and did not easily interact with other people in order to avoid suspicion.
"Your Highness!" When he saw Aigron, the captain's eyes finally lit up.
"What's wrong with you?" Aigron walked up to them and asked.
"I heard that Her Royal Highness the Princess almost fell into the water in an accident, so I came here to see her and visit her." The captain replied briefly, and then looked at Andre Davout, "But your captain of the guard is very conscientious and he stopped him.
I was abducted and declared that I could not see you and His Highness without permission."
"Your Majesty, I am preparing to inform you." Andre Davout replied, "It's not that I'm deliberately making things difficult for the captain, but it's my duty as your captain of the guard. I can't let anyone go without your permission.
Just get close to you."
Aigron looked at the faces of the two people and probably understood what was going on.
"Captain, please forgive Andre, he is also doing his duty." He nodded approvingly towards Andre, and then continued, "Besides, Teresa is sick now, I think it's best for you
Don't disturb her, let her have a good rest, and it won't be too late to come back and see her tomorrow if her condition improves."
Then, he briefly told the other party that he and Teresa went fishing in the sea today and encountered wind and waves, and that Teresa had a cold and fever.
Captain Foresti was a little embarrassed after hearing this, because it was obvious that Her Majesty Teresa "brought the blame" for the whole incident, and he couldn't say anything else.
Besides, now is really not a good time to visit her.
"In that case, I will meet with His Highness another day." He sighed and accepted Aigron's suggestion. "When I left Austria, Archduke Karl specifically told me to obey His Highness's orders and to take good care of the princess.
Your Highness, it turns out... I have neglected my duty."
"This is not your responsibility. After all, who could have imagined that it would turn out like this?" Aigron comforted the other party.
"Then I'll go back first." The captain bowed sadly, preparing to say goodbye to Aiglon.
"Wait a minute!" Aigron suddenly thought of something and called the captain.
"Do you have anything else to tell me?" The captain stopped and looked at the young man doubtfully.
"It's a small matter, don't be nervous." Aiglon smiled, and then pointed to Andre Davout, who was silent next to him, "I want to tell you that my captain of the guard, there is something very annoying in his life...
"
"Your Majesty..." As soon as he heard Aiglon say this, Andre Davout immediately became anxious and subconsciously tried to stop him.
However, Aigron turned a deaf ear and continued, "He challenged a very powerful swordsman to a challenge, and then lost so miserably that he ran out of Paris that same day and hid in the countryside for several months before returning."
"Oh?" As soon as he heard the swordsman, Captain Foresti immediately became energetic, and then looked at Andre Davout.
But this young man, whose scars were suddenly revealed, did not dare to lose his temper with His Majesty. He felt embarrassed and ashamed all of a sudden, so he had to turn his head and look at the ground, not daring to look at anyone.
After a moment of silence, the captain spoke kindly to Andre.
"There is no shame in losing in challenges. I lost many times when I was young. As long as you can learn lessons from failure and find ways to make yourself stronger, failure is beneficial."
He didn't mean to please Andre, but he really thought so in his heart.
"Usually, this is indeed the case, but the failure this time had a great impact on Andre, so he really couldn't lose face, and it has been difficult to get over the shadow of failure." Aigron replied with a smile, "
To be honest, he lost to a girl who was younger than him, probably as old as me."
"What?" Captain Foresty heard about this for the first time, so he opened his eyes wide in surprise. "A little girl?"
Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Andre Davout could only nodded sadly, "That's true...I know it's unbelievable, but I did lose, so this hit me very hard. I still can't believe it until now."
Unforgettable."
"The lady's name is Agnes, and she is already well-known in Paris." Agron continued to add, "I was also fortunate to have played against her, and she was indeed quite powerful. Even if Andre lost, it would be normal."
"She is so powerful that even His Majesty has trouble subduing her." Andre Davout echoed in a low voice.
"I don't believe it. His Highness is my best student and the one I am most proud of. He has both talent and hard work, so he has improved very quickly. He has even caught up with me before he reached adulthood... I don't believe there is a student of his own age.
Will get close to him, let alone a girl." Captain Foresty looked doubtful, "Can that Miss Agnes really do this? Could it be you because the opponent is a girl?
So I subconsciously kept my hand."
As soon as he saw the captain's expression, Aigron knew that his goal had been achieved.
"I admit that I do have reservations, but even so, she is still strong enough - at least I think it will be difficult for Andre to find his place. But even so, the fire in his heart has not extinguished. Before going to the island, he suffered
After practicing for several months, he planned to challenge Miss Agnes, but after hearing my news, he had to give up the idea temporarily, but I think one day, he will fulfill his wish."
"That's quite courageous." The captain nodded to show his admiration, "Regardless of his level, as long as he has this kind of courage, he will live up to the sword in his hand. I wish him success."
After hearing the captain's words, Andre Davout's eyes changed when he looked at him. Apparently these words were very useful to him.
After the captain came to the island, Andre Davout also heard some stories about Captain Foresty. To be honest, he was also full of curiosity about the captain, just because he belonged to Princess Theresa.
, and he is an Austrian, so it is not easy for him to take the initiative to contact the other party.
Seeing that the atmosphere was already in place, Aigron certainly did not intend to give up this opportunity.
"Captain, good wishes are not enough." He smiled, "I hope you can help him in a more practical way, such as giving guidance."
"..." The captain hesitated. "Is this okay?"
"What's wrong?" Aigron asked back, "You don't have much to do on the island anyway, so what's the problem with practicing with them? I don't think your talents should be buried, and neither do you.
You should just be completely depressed.”
"I'm no longer what I used to be." The captain smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Even if you are not what you were before, I think you are still good enough, at least enough to guide the members of the Knights under me." Aigron replied with a smile, "To tell you the truth, I actually thought about doing this myself.
, but I put it on hold because I didn’t have enough time. I think it would be very suitable if you were responsible for this work, and you can also use it to pass the time. It’s better than being stuck in a shabby room all day long, right?”
Aigron's persuasion moved the captain's heart.
In his opinion, His Highness's intention was reasonable. Since he had already arrived on the island, it was natural for him to play some role.
But he was still a little hesitant.
"After all, swordsmanship is just for entertainment. In fact, it doesn't help them much. Now is the age of guns. Besides, they are already old. Even if they start to learn seriously now, it is already too late."
"I know everything you said, but I hope this can give them a sense of belonging to the team. It's not mandatory anyway. You can learn it as long as you are interested." Aigron replied with a smile.
In fact, he hopes to use this to integrate the captain into his group and become an existence that is not under his control in name but actually serves him.
He believed that Teresa would also be very happy to see this happen.
Then, he winked at Andre Davout.
"Captain, I very much hope to listen to your advice." At this time Andre also reacted and immediately made a sincere request to the captain. "Even if I lose again, I hope I can lose more decently. I will persist.
My honor."
Perhaps infected by Andre's eager gaze, the captain hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "Well, since His Highness insists so much, then I have no choice but to obey... But I am a harsh teacher,
I believe you have understood it. I do not force others to learn anything from me, but if they complain to you after learning from me, I hope you will ignore it."
"I believe they will all be grateful for your teaching." Aigron laughed. "If anyone complains to me, I will take away his title."
Amidst the laughter, the haze accumulated in his heart because of Teresa's illness finally dissipated.
"Don't worry about Theresa, I will take good care of Your Highness." He assured the captain.
