"Okay, I understand, Your Majesty. Thank you for your trust in me!"
Under Aigron's gaze, Edgar agreed confidently.
Although he didn't know the source of Edgar's confidence, and even had some doubts about his ability, at this time Aigron could only choose to trust him.
Anyway, treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, it seems that the only "professional talent" I have in this field is Edgar.
So, he asked someone to find Chanel again.
"Your Majesty, do you have any orders?" Upon hearing His Majesty's call, Chanel rushed over immediately.
Seeing Edgar standing nearby, she was a little surprised at first, and then immediately thought of something.
"How was Theresa's mood just now?" Agron asked in a low voice, "Has she... mentioned Agnes again?"
"Her Royal Highness the Princess seems to be in a good mood, and she has not mentioned Miss Agnes again." Chanel answered truthfully.
Aiglon was relieved for a moment, and then pointed at Edgar. "Chanel, I hope you can cooperate with Edgar."
"What?" Chanel was surprised. "Do you have any orders?"
Aiglon hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to tell the truth. After all, Chanel was one of the closest people to him, and she was a witness from beginning to end. There was no need for him to hide anything from her.
After listening to Aiglon's explanation, Chanel's expression became quite strange.
"Your Majesty, are you worried that His Highness will discover that the fiancé she thought was infinitely charming could not stun Miss Agnes, but instead gave her a punch?" Then she asked in a low voice.
"Chanel, I just don't want such a trivial matter to make everyone unhappy." Aiglon suppressed his embarrassment and answered seriously.
"I'm just joking, don't take it seriously..." Chanel covered her mouth and hid her smile. "Anyway, you don't want Her Highness the Princess and Miss Agnes to exchange all the truth, do you?"
Edgar next to him watched all this silently, watching the master and servant's cordial and teasing conversation.
When Chanel sent guards to summon him, he had already had some premonitions in his heart. Now that he saw the performance of the two of them with his own eyes, he was more and more convinced that the two of them had already transcended the ordinary master-servant relationship.
But...what does it matter?
Most of the French kings are romantic by nature, and he doesn't care how many people are on His Majesty's bedside, as long as there is one among them that he supports.
However, now that Chanel is on his side, he can flatter her in the future.
After all, although Mademoiselle Chanel's position is not obvious, it is obvious that she has won the trust of His Majesty. Since ancient times, people like this who are close to the king have a very huge potential influence, and it is really worth winning over.
Now seems like an opportunity.
"Okay, I have said everything that needs to be said. Now it depends on your performance." Aigron looked at Edgar again, and then ordered him, "What do you want Chanel to do next? What will she do?"
To cooperate with you, remember what I just told you."
"I obey your instructions, Your Majesty." Edgar bowed humbly with an elegant smile.
Although his father is a brave general, he hates taking risks with his life, no matter what front or trench, he just wants to stay far away, and this battlefield that teases people's hearts is where he comes in...
At this time, Agnes was staying in her room bored, playing with her sword that she usually hid in her umbrella.
Only when she was dancing with her sword could she be completely distracted and forget all those troubles and her growing homesickness.
As the fortress fell into the hands of the young man, the whole army was celebrating the hard-won victory, but Agnes couldn't be happy because it meant that the hateful young man now had more capital to show off.
Angry.
"Everyone will have their own opinions, but they will change with the passage of time. I never expected you to kneel to me now, but Agnes... we both have time, and I will make the world a
The way I want it.”
An unbearable memory and a disturbing voice suddenly appeared in her mind.
He must be feeling proud now, right?
The more she thought about this, the angrier she became.
Deep down in her heart, she was unwilling to admit that she had a creeping fear. As the young man won step by step, his wild dream of "restoring the empire" seemed more and more likely to be realized. If in the end he really did,
One day, and then he extends his claws to himself again as he proudly claimed, how should he deal with himself then?
Anxiety and anger made her hands tremble, and at this moment, the void in front of her seemed to suddenly have a hateful appearance.
She took a breath for a moment, and then stabbed forward with a sword, stabbing fiercely into the chest in the void.
Although this kind of venting was actually meaningless, it at least relieved her proud but temporarily bruised self-esteem.
At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door.
Agnes composed herself. "Who is it?"
"It's me, Miss Agnes..." came a reply from the door.
"Chanel...?" Agnes immediately recognized who it was. "What can I do for you?"
"I was ordered to come to you. Can you please let me in?" Chanel's tone seemed to contain a little pleading.
Although because of Chanel's request last time, she ran to comfort the young man and then caused those troubles, Agnes also understands the truth. She knew that it was not Chanel's subjective malice, so she couldn't bear to express her anger.
to her.
Besides, since they met, Chanel had been courteous and attentive to her, and she really couldn't bear to embarrass Chanel.
So she put away her sword, walked to the door and opened it.
"Please come in." Looking at Chanel, she made a gesture.
"Thank you for your magnanimity!" Chanel was overjoyed, then quickly saluted her, and then walked in cautiously.
Then she looked at Agnes with an awkward and flattering smile, as if she was considering her words.
"What, are you here to trick me into meeting your master again this time?" Agnes asked angrily.
"That's not the case." Chanel Lyon hurriedly shook his head, "Miss Agnes, I'm really sorry about what happened last time, but it was definitely not my intention. In fact, I am as shocked and disgusted as you are by His Majesty's deviant behavior...
…I dare not ask you to forget His Majesty’s offense now, but I beg you not to refuse my respect for you because of it…”
Chanel said it so humbly that Agnes was embarrassed to vent her anger on her anymore. After all, this was all that bastard's fault, so what did it have to do with Chanel?
"Okay, Chanel, I'm sorry that I shouldn't have treated you like this." She nodded to Chanel to apologize, and at the same time stretched out her right hand to show that she ignored the past grudges.
Chanel quickly grabbed her right hand with both hands, and then bowed her head to thank her again, "Thank you for your understanding!"
"Okay, there is no need to say anything unnecessary. There is no need for you to bear the mistakes of others." Agnes withdrew her right hand, and then asked, "Excuse me, what is the purpose of coming to me this time? If it was sent by him.
Needless to say, I don’t want to please him anymore!”
"The first thing is to ask you to forgive me for my mistake. It seems that I have achieved my goal." Chanel immediately replied, "As for the second thing... I was actually sent here by Princess Theresa. She wanted to officially
You are invited to attend the celebration banquet tonight."
"Celebration party? Me?" Agnes suddenly felt confused, "What does this have to do with me? I don't have the merit of size. What did Princess Teresa think?"
Although she took the initiative to isolate herself from the outside world, of course she also got the news about Princess Teresa's arrival.
When she got the news, she was naturally relieved. After all, as long as Theresa came, the guy would not dare to do anything rashly. At least now she was safe.
She hoped that Princess Teresa would properly discipline her shameless fiancé so that he would not bring trouble to the world.
However, deep inside her heart, there was an indescribable emotion
Why can some people get everything so easily?
"Her Royal Highness the Princess did not explain her intention in detail, but judging from her tone, she probably hopes to have a friend with whom she can talk when attending the banquet. After all, the presence of a large group of men is really uncomfortable.
." Chanel replied cautiously, "In addition, since I haven't seen you for many days, she misses you a lot, so I hope you can celebrate with everyone, relax and enjoy the moment of our victory."
"She misses me...?" Agnes was a little dumbfounded. "Under this situation, will she still miss me? It's not bad if she doesn't curse me."
Chanel did not answer, but her expression suddenly became strange.
"What's wrong?" Agnes asked again quickly.
Chanel's expression was twisted, as if he was hesitant to speak, and it took a moment before he seemed to make up his mind.
"Then...will you attend? Your Highness Theresa is really looking forward to seeing you."
"I'm not sure whether I will affect everyone's mood." Agnes sighed, "After all, this is the time that belongs to her and your master. They want to enjoy everyone's cheers, don't they?"
"Please be sure to attend, Miss Agnes!" Chanel suddenly lowered her head again, as if begging her.
"What? What happened again?" Agnes became more and more confused, "Does it matter if I attend or not? You don't need to give me a medal..."
Chanel knew that now was the real performance moment. She must follow Edgar's instructions and reveal the words he had thought up to Agnes, and she must master the technique well.
"I...let me tell you the truth." Then, Chanel seemed to have made up her mind, "Just now, His Majesty had a quarrel with Princess Theresa because of you."
"Ah?" Agnes was greatly surprised, "What's going on?"
"Princess Theresa heard some rumors, so she asked Your Majesty why you were... too close to you, and she thought you played a disgraceful role, but Your Majesty argued for you and believed that you had not committed any crime.
Faults should not be belittled, so they quarreled."
"He argued hard for me in front of Her Majesty Theresa?" Agnes looked unbelieving. "Really?"
"It's true, I swear to you!" Chanel nodded solemnly, "Your Majesty originally didn't want to quarrel with Her Highness the Princess, but seeing that Her Highness the Princess was criticizing you, he could only take responsibility and express this
It's all his own fault, and he doesn't want your reputation to be damaged by his own ridiculous behavior."
When Chanel said this, she was also very helpless. Because she really admired and admired Miss Agnes, she was full of guilt in her heart at the moment.
Although not a word in her mouth was a lie, she knew clearly that she was deceiving Miss Agnes.
Sure enough, Agnes was stunned for a moment, and then sneered again.
"Huh, it was originally caused by him. Isn't it natural for him to take responsibility?"
Without any advice, Chanel would definitely think that Agnes was just being sarcastic, but after Edgar's advice, she understood that Agnes's answer meant that she was thinking about His Majesty.
This is her character, naive, aloof, but also somewhat compassionate and chivalrous.
She is obviously the biggest victim, but she is unwilling to enjoy the moral superiority of this victim. On the contrary, she is willing to think about others... It is a pity that this kind of compassion can be exploited by others at certain moments.
Weakness, this is indeed a common tragedy in this muddy world.
However, Agnes was completely unaware of this. Although she had always respected Theresa, she had never been afraid of Theresa.
Yes, Theresa was a princess, and she belonged to a royal family as grand as the Habsburgs, but so what?
Deep down inside, she even felt a little secretly happy.
He actually quarreled with a princess over me...
After a moment of joy, Agnes suddenly woke up and quickly threw such immoral thoughts out of her mind.
"So, after this quarrel, Princess Teresa became even more angry with His Majesty... Of course, due to decency, she will never quarrel with you, so don't worry, she will not embarrass you in public." Chanel
And at the right moment, she said what Edgar had told her.
"What's wrong? Do I still need to be afraid?" Agnes laughed unconvinced, "I have a clear conscience, what do I need to be afraid of? Is there anyone who is qualified to punish someone who has done nothing wrong? Okay.
...Then I will accept the invitation, and you should be satisfied, right, Chanel?"
