Although she was still not convinced, she had no way to refute.
She has always been fearless, but the only thing she would never do is "disappoint her sister" - Edgar was right. Now, including Alice, the Treville family has worshiped that young man.
People are the master, so from the perspective of "vassals" and "lords", they really need to be respectful to each other.
And now in this situation, it is even more important to obey his orders.
Feeling guilty, she could only soften her tone.
"Of course I don't want to disobey his orders, I just feel that I can take care of myself properly and there is no need to bother him."
"Oh, of course! Agnes, you are very powerful, I have always admired you." Seeing Agnes surrender, Edgar took advantage of the victory and pursued the victory, "But... you have to think about what we are doing now.
It not only causes trouble for ourselves, but also brings a lot of trouble to His Majesty. If everyone knows that there is a girl marching with us, what will they think of you? So we can only try our best to control ourselves and not cause trouble to His Majesty.
Trouble. I don’t care. Now that I’m here, of course I have to obey His Majesty. I have to do whatever he wants me to do, let alone move the corpse. Even if he asks me to eat the corpse, I have to eat it! Likewise,
You should also obey assignments and orders. Only in this way can you be worthy of my name and your last name, and can you avoid bringing shame to Alice. Are you right?"
Agnes listened quietly, unable to find words to retort for a while, until she finally answered in annoyance.
"Okay, that's enough! No need to lecture me in such a long way, I know what to do!"
Hehe, you know? You have no idea at all.
Edgar looked upright and solemn on the surface, but he was completely snickering in his heart.
It has to be said that although Agnes has excellent skills and strong personality, she is still a little girl who is inexperienced in the world. He only needs to use a little bit of words to fool her and make her unaware.
Act according to your own ideas while sleeping.
He knew that both His Majesty and his sister-in-law looked down on him, but in the end, he was able to get both sides of things without making a move. This was the ability he had honed in dealing with people in the romantic field.
Although they are all stunningly talented, they are still too young after all...
When he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little proud.
He tried hard to control himself not to laugh, and then continued to look at Agnes seriously. "It's good that you know, Agnes. Next, I am going to carry out the order given to me by Your Majesty. I will entrust my friend Andre to
-Davout is here to handle it. If you need help with anything, just ask him directly. I think that kid also admires you..."
After speaking, he waved gracefully to Agnes and left quietly.
-----------------------------------------------
Under Aigron's order, his army continued to launch a fierce attack on the remaining enemy forces that had retreated into the port of Nafpaktos. Under their relentless pursuit, the remaining enemy forces that had already suffered huge casualties were
, had to quickly retreat to the east along the road leading from the port to the outside world.
As for those enemies who had no time to retreat, or were injured and unable to retreat, they had to become his prisoners, and their subsequent fate was no longer up to them.
In this way, Nafpaktos officially fell into the hands of Aigron that afternoon.
After eliminating the last remaining resistance, Aiglon led his guard members and stationed in this small port.
Compared with the glory of the past, today's Nafpaktos has become much depressed. Most of the military buildings have been abandoned due to the departure of the Turkish fleet, leaving only a handful of parts used by the remaining garrison.
Along the coastline of the harbor, there is a small fort, and next to the fort is a small fort. This fort was originally used as a residence for the commander of the garrison. After Aigron occupied this place, he made this fort his own.
of temporary residence.
Under the leadership of the guards, Aigron walked along the stone steps next to the breakwater and walked all the way to the fort.
Because the fleet left, this fort was basically abandoned. There were no traces of cannons on most of the forts. Even the few remaining bronze cannons, their barrels and brackets below had long been damaged by wind and rain.
And rusty.
Aigron stretched out his hand and gently stroked the rough lines on the cannon body, then looked at the bay in the distance.
Looking around, there is a blue sea and sky in front of him. The smoke and fighting just now have dissipated. The cool sea breeze of the Mediterranean blows on his face, the cries of seagulls echoing everywhere, and the waves that constantly beat against the breakwater.
It was as if some elf was congratulating him on his victory.
The noise and fighting were over, and everything had returned to calm. There were only bullet marks and bloodstains everywhere, and the dejected prisoners who were forcibly taken away, silently telling the last traces of the short battle just now.
Aiglon turned his head again and looked at his guard captain Andre Davout.
"Andre, this is ours."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Andre held his head high and congratulated Aiglon. "Congratulations, Your Majesty, you led us to victory!"
"A small victory, but it is necessary for us." Aigron nodded lightly.
Then, he focused his attention again, "I want to write a letter to tell Teresa the good news. Please arrange for someone to send it to me as soon as possible."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Andre agreed without hesitation.
Eggron wanted to report to Theresa, of course, not just to show off his victory to his fiancée, he also wanted Theresa, who was at the rear, to spread the news of his victory and let everyone know that Lechstad
The Duke fought for the Christians in Greece.
This news is definitely a boost for his supporters, and if the Roman Church is also cheering for him, then he can also win enough favor among many non-Bonapartist neutrals——
And that's all he wanted.
Without hesitation, he quickly walked into his newly occupied residence, then picked up the pen and paper he brought with him, and began to quickly write a letter of good news to Teresa and Panos.
Because he was in a good mood, his thoughts were flowing and he wrote quickly. The two letters were quickly completed.
At this time, he looked out the window and saw that it was already evening.
He took the written letter and walked out of the room again, watching the golden-red sunset outside the breakwater slowly sinking into the sea. The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the sea, and was cut into countless pieces on the sea due to the division of the waves.
, rolling like fish scales, flashing with light of different colors.
On the opposite side of the bay, the outline of the Peloponnese Peninsula is like a giant dragon, looming in sight.
What a magnificent view this is!
He couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling the surging motivation in his heart.
He knew that although he had temporarily won a victory, there were still more and greater challenges waiting for him.
Although the Turkish fleet has long since disappeared here and Nafpaktos is now insignificant, the Turks will not allow themselves to be so humiliated by an outsider, whether in terms of propaganda or psychology.
So after they receive the bad news, they will definitely send troops to try to destroy themselves.
Next comes the real test for yourself.
He will not sit still and wait for death, but will look for opportunities to fight and use his best efforts to repel or defeat the invading enemies. At that time, having won a new victory will be enough to overcome all doubts about himself.
At this time, as if echoing his mood, the oncoming sea breeze seemed to become more violent, making his eardrums roar.
Come on, let me experience bigger waves!
Aigron clenched his fists against the sea breeze.
At this moment, he heard a burst of footsteps coming from behind.
"Your Majesty!" Andre Davout's respectful voice came from behind, "Have you finished writing your letter?"
"Well, I have already written it. You can take it to the person assigned to you and deliver it as soon as possible -" Aigron said, turning around and preparing to hand the letter in his hand to the other party.
But as soon as he turned around, he was stunned because he found that there was another person standing next to Andre Davout.
This man was wearing a simple military uniform and a military cap on his head. He was not tall, but his pretty face exuded a heroic spirit, and his eyesight was as sharp as an eagle. He was looking at himself without flinching.
Although the other party's clothes were no different from those of ordinary soldiers, the slight bulge on his chest and his overly beautiful face betrayed his identity.
Although he had already known that Agnes was coming, this was the first time Agron saw her in disguise after going on the expedition - to be honest, he thought she was quite pretty.
"Oh!" Aigron couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then praised the other party, "Miss Agnes, it seems that you are quite suitable for this look."
Although Agron's words and attitude were very polite, Agnes looked a little embarrassed and just nodded to him reluctantly.
Egeron could somewhat understand the other party's mood at the moment, so he did not continue talking, but looked at Andre Davout.
Andre understood and immediately reached out and took the letter from the young man's hand. "Your Majesty, I will send them out right away."
Then, he paused briefly, and then continued, "In addition, Edgar is currently performing the task assigned by you, so in order not to cause commotion and inconvenience, he decided to ask us to accommodate Miss Agnes first...
"
"Well, I know, he has already told me." Aigron nodded and did not express any objection. "You can make arrangements here and find a hidden and safe place for Miss Agnes to settle down temporarily.
…”
"Okay, Your Majesty, leave it all to me." Andre agreed immediately.
Although this matter was indeed a bit unusual, his attitude was very enthusiastic and he actively cooperated with Edgar's actions.
When Edgar mentioned this matter to him, he didn't say what he had in mind, but Andre was happy to see it happen - for him, it was just a matter of convenience to help Edgar settle Iger.
Of course, Agnes is very nice; but if His Majesty really develops an unusual friendship with Agnes during their relationship, then he doesn't think there is any problem with it at all.
Your Majesty is so admirable, and Miss Agnes is so admired. In his heart, they almost represent the most dazzling couple among the entire French generation. If it were not for fate, maybe they should have become a couple.
Although he has now accepted the reality that Princess Theresa will become his mistress in the future, but - so what if His Majesty has a romance in private? Isn't this a natural thing?
So there was no need for Edgar to deliberately instigate it, and he was happy to cooperate with Edgar's actions.
"Miss Agnes, do you have any opinions?" For the sake of politeness, Agron asked, "Although the conditions are simple, we can follow the rule of ladies first - now you can take priority."
"I don't have any objections. Just follow Mr. Davout's arrangement." Agnes replied calmly. "I have never been picky."
"I think so too... That's best." Aigron made a gesture to Andre.
Andre nodded knowingly.
He had already made up his mind to arrange a residence for Agnes next to His Majesty's residence, so that there would be no problems and they would have a chance to get along.
In order not to disturb the atmosphere at this time, Andre Davout immediately left with the letter after getting the letter. He also specifically ordered other guards to stand farther away so as not to affect His Majesty's enjoyment of the sea view.
After Andre left, Agron and Agnes looked at each other.
Aigron didn't know what to say for a moment, but felt a little embarrassed at the moment. Agnes's sharp and scrutinizing gaze shone brightly in the afterglow of the sunset.
"I really didn't expect things to become so strange... Haha..." After a moment, Aigron diluted the atmosphere with a few fake smiles. "But, Miss Agnes, please don't worry, I will do my best to be your friend."
We will try our best to provide you with the best hospitality——"
"I believe you." Agnes seemed to be relieved, and then nodded, "But now, what should I call you?"
"Well...it's up to you." Aiglon replied nonchalantly, "The title does not affect the essence, and you are not my vassal at this time, so I don't need you to be respectful to me——"
"Having said that... my sister and brother-in-law have sworn allegiance to you after all." Agnes sighed. "So, for them, I'd better observe the due etiquette -"
As she spoke, she took off the military cap on her head, and her golden brown hair fell down. "Your Majesty, good evening."
