Edgar de Treville, who was far away in Greece, certainly didn't know that his daughter had just been born. At this time, he was telling the young man in front of him about the arrival of his wife and sister in a warm and potentially bewitching tone.
Compared to Alice's entanglement, he didn't feel guilty at all. In his opinion, if Agnes could bring benefits to his family, then why not use her? Besides, it wouldn't be considered an insult to her.
"She is right here with you, Your Majesty."
"This is really good news." Aigron was startled for a moment, then laughed, "I think she won't be disgusted with me, right? After all, I took her brother-in-law away from my sister."
"No, you underestimate her. Agnes, like us, is a person who respects grand ambitions. She admires your heroic deeds very much, so she can understand our difficulties... That's why she agreed to Alice's request.
"Edgar continued to lie without hesitation, "She is also very happy to serve you, Your Majesty."
Although Edgar boasted wildly, it was impossible for Egron to completely believe him.
Although he and Agnes got along briefly, he also knew Agnes's character and she would not be interested in Bonaparte or the Bourbon family's career.
However, if he can use the Treville family to recruit Agnes, it will be a huge help to him. Not to mention Agnes's own skills, she is also very prestigious among the younger generation of nobles, like Andre Davout.
This kind of defeat will make her fear and respect her. If she can get her service, the young people in Paris will be greatly shocked.
"That's really good news." Therefore, Aigron did not expose the other party's lies, but continued speaking. "If Edgar and Agnes can join our ranks, it will be a huge gain for us.
"
Then, he looked at the sea in the distance. The sunlight had changed from dazzling incandescent light to golden yellow. The sun also revealed a vague outline under the fiery red clouds, getting closer and closer to the sea.
This magnificent evening scene just reflected his good mood at the moment.
"You should go and rest first. I think you must be quite tired from this journey." He turned his head and said to Edgar with a smile. "Let's have a dinner here tonight to welcome you.
"
"Okay, Your Majesty!" Edgar agreed immediately.
He is also in a good mood, because judging from His Majesty's attitude when mentioning Agnes, he does have a considerable fondness for her, and that means that there seems to be room for his plan to be implemented...——
While Aigron and Edgar were chatting happily, Andre Davout took Agnes to the top floor of the hotel.
There is an empty room here, and André Davout plans to arrange for Agnes to settle here.
Although the entire hotel has been occupied by Aigron and his party, as a female family member, Agnes cannot mix with the guards, so he found this room.
Right next to this room is Chanel's room, and a little further along the corridor is Theresa's bedroom.
Andre walked to the door, opened it, and then looked back at Agnes.
"Miss Agnes, if you don't mind, please rest here for now."
"It's okay, I don't mind." Before he could finish speaking, Agnes nodded and agreed, "Since you have arranged this place, then let's do it here!"
Then, she looked around at the door, as if confirming the terrain and route here.
At this moment, a girl wearing a maid uniform appeared around the corner.
She was holding a fruit plate in her hands and was about to go to the balcony. At this moment, her eyes happened to fall on Agnes.
For a moment, her eyes widened in surprise, and the plate in her hand almost fell to the ground. She finally managed to maintain her balance.
"Miss Agnes!" she called out softly, "is that you?"
"Hey~ Of course it's me!" Agnes raised her finger and made a cheerful gesture, "Chanel, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
"Yeah...Long time no see..." Chanel put the fruit plate aside and walked quickly to Agnes, looking at her with surprise and joy, "Why are you here?
"
When they first met in Switzerland, because Agnes and Agron almost had a fight, Chanel had always had a grudge against Agnes. However, so much time has passed, and the original unhappiness has of course disappeared long ago.
Agnes's bold and cheerful character, with her informal personality, appealed to Chanel's taste. When she was a child, she was in the Bavarian court, and when she grew up, she was in the Austrian court. No matter where she was, she was used to being bossed around by noble people. For Chanel, who was always serving people.
As far as I'm concerned, Agnes, as a princess, still doesn't put on airs, is indeed very rare, and it also makes her very fond of her.
"Why did I come here... This is a good question, I'm a little confused myself." Agnes spread her hands regretfully, "If you want to ask, just ask my sister and brother-in-law why they gave me so much trouble.
ask……"
Then, she roughly told Chanel about how she had accepted the request from her sister and escorted her brother-in-law along the way.
"So that's it..." Chanel finally understood what had happened, and then she looked at Agnes gratefully, "You have worked really hard! You have worked so hard for His Majesty's career, and I think His Majesty will also be grateful to you.
"
"Then we have to make it clear that I am not doing it for your Majesty, but just for my own relatives." Agnes replied disapprovingly.
Seeing Agnes's stubborn expression, Chanel chuckled inwardly but said nothing more. Instead, she looked at the room. "Is this where you want to live? That's great...it's right next to me, but here
It’s been unoccupied, so it might be a little dusty, so let me clean it up for you!”
"No need...I actually don't care...Besides, I will sort it out myself." Agnes replied quickly.
However, at this time, Chanel had already picked up the broom and rag to clean up, so Agnes could only watch helplessly as Chanel was busy.
"Ms. Chanel is really enthusiastic." Andre Davout looked on and smiled.
"It's simply too enthusiastic, which makes me feel a little embarrassed." Agnes smiled bitterly.
"This shows that she respects you very much. Not everyone is qualified to be treated like this." Andre said in a low voice, "You may not think that she only dresses like a maid, but she has a transcendent status here, and His Majesty trusts her very much.
, and also entrusted her with important responsibilities, and even officially canonized her as a member of the knights close to him, which is a rare honor."
"Is that so?" Agnes blinked with a look of disbelief on her face. "So Chanel is an honorary knight now?"
"Not only is she an honorary knight, His Majesty also said that she will be given more rewards in the future to praise her loyalty and dedication." Andre replied with a smile, and then added, "With your ability and prestige
, if you are willing, I think you only need to mention it to His Majesty, and he will be happy to canonize you immediately."
"Forget it... I don't care about being a knight or not." Agnes immediately shook her head, "Besides, I can't swallow this breath of surrendering when the outcome is clearly not decided.
"
The girl held her head high as she spoke, full of confidence and arrogance, but Andre had other thoughts in his mind. His Majesty told him that he had fought with Agnes, and the result was a tie or even the upper hand. Originally, he had other thoughts in his heart.
He still didn't believe it, but now that Agnes had personally confirmed it, he finally believed it completely.
Your Majesty is indeed powerful...
He then remembered that His Majesty had promised him that he would definitely show Agnes some shame when he had the opportunity in the future, so as to avoid his own shame... At this moment, he suddenly started to look forward to it.
If this pair of young men and young girls fight, it will definitely be a grand performance that they have never seen in their lives. It doesn't even matter who wins and who loses. Of course, it would be best if His Majesty wins.
"Well, I just said it casually. It all depends on your wishes. If you are not interested, neither His Majesty nor anyone else will force you." Andre smiled and ended the topic.
Although Agnes was very harsh, Andre felt that since everyone was already here, it was impossible to stay out of the matter. What's more, since Edgar de Treville was already His Majesty's servant, Agnes followed.
How could Nice have any other choice?
While they were talking, Chanel, who was quick with her hands and feet, had already helped Agnes tidy up the room.
Andre Davout looked around the room and felt quite satisfied.
Starting from today, their team has grown even more. Two young people from famous French aristocratic families have joined His Majesty's command.
In his opinion, this is not only an isolated incident, but also a symbol of His Majesty's just like the rising sun, rising slowly in France. Although he is thousands of miles away from it now, the morning sun is already dazzling in this country.
.
He fully believed that more people would come to join him and serve the successor who had raised the banner.
It's a pity...Princess Theresa has already arrived, otherwise perhaps today's accident would bring even more unexpected good results, Andre Davout suddenly thought to himself.
It’s not that he disrespects or underestimates Teresa, but in his heart, compared to Agnes, a foreign princess he has never met, who grew up in Paris, shares the same language and the same experience with them,
She is much more affectionate in his heart, not to mention, the image of Agnes in his heart is so dazzling that it is even worthy of the rising sun.
It's a pity...it all seemed too late. He sighed secretly in his heart.
"Okay, my task has been completed. Now you can settle here. If you have any requests, just ask Chanel." Andre bowed gracefully and said goodbye to Agnes very politely.
, then turned and left.
"Miss Agnes, what do you think?" Chanel asked.
Agnes looked around the room, which seemed to be completely new, and nodded gently, "I'm very satisfied, thank you Chanel."
"It's just a matter of duty." Chanel replied with a smile, "Then you can rest here first, and I will go and tell His Majesty."
"Right now, your Majesty is probably communicating with my brother-in-law. You'd better not disturb them," Agnes reminded Chanel kindly, "Go and do other things first, and wait for them to finish talking.
I'll call you."
"You are right." Chanel nodded, and then it seemed that she thought of something again.
"Okay... I'll leave first. If you have any instructions, please call me at any time!" She saluted Agnes and then left the room.
Agnes, who was finally alone, was a little tired. She put down the parasol in her hand, then lay back on the bed and closed her eyes to fall asleep.
After leaving the room, Chanel did not go back to his apartment, but walked along the corridor to the depths, and then knocked on the door.
"Come in." The person inside responded quickly.
Chanel tiptoed into the room, and then respectfully saluted the girl sitting at the desk.
"Chanel, you came just in time." Teresa didn't look at her, but picked up the letter she had just written, read it carefully, and then breathed a sigh of relief. "I've finally finished it.
…”
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with this long article, she put this letter together with the letter that Aigron had just written casually, and then stuffed it into the same envelope.
She will give this letter to the people around her later, and then the courier will make another trip to find a way to deliver it to the not-so-distant Principality of Parma. It is expected to be delivered within a few days.
She didn't know how much attachment Louisa, His Highness's mother, still had to her eldest son in her heart, but she believed that there was no absolute conflict of interest between mother and son. As long as the conditions put forward by both parties were appropriate, there would still be a chance to bridge the gap.
.
Compared to Agron, who has always been resentful, Teresa doesn't have so much ill will towards Luisa.
Although Louisa facilitated her own marriage, her purpose was to find a way for her children, so she ran around; but is this not the case for herself now?
After doing all this, she finally looked at Chanel again.
"Is there something you want to report to me?"
"Your Highness, just now, the son of the Marquis of Treville came to seek refuge with Your Majesty." Chanel lowered his head and reported to her respectfully.
"Treville?" Teresa frowned, as if thinking. "I seem to have heard of this last name...is it from a famous family?"
"Yes." Chanel nodded. "This general has always been our loyal supporter."
"That's great." Teresa laughed.
"In addition to that gentleman, her sister-in-law was also present...named Agnes."
