Father Faria's tone was strong and powerful, with an uplifting spirit that he had not seen for a long time.
He was filled with gratitude for Aigron's trust in him, and he also hoped that in the last moments of his life, his benefactor could get more things.
He is already thinking about how to write the next recommendation report.
And Aiglon also breathed a sigh of relief. He tried his best to finally get Father Faria to accept his arrangement. Although he could not stop the priest from continuing to consume his life in heavy work, at least he got the priest to accept the reduction of workload.
He himself also has the obligation to fulfill his responsibilities and shoulder the burden.
Seeing the old face of the priest, he sighed secretly, "I sincerely hope that your vitality will be as strong as before and you can block the sickle of death."
Then he said goodbye to the priest and left the priest's residence.
Chanel followed Aigron silently and left with him. Her expression was still as helpless as before. Obviously she did not get the result she wanted.
"Chanel, you must respect other people's ideas." Aigron couldn't help but persuade her, "For Father Faria, what difference does it make if he dies one year earlier and one year later? He would rather die like a normal person.
A powerful Prime Minister, not like a paralyzed old man who no one cares about."
"Your Majesty, I understand this idea... I have been by your side for a long time." Chanel replied softly, "But, I have... I have faced the death of my loved ones too many times, even though my reason tells me that this is
It's a common thing, but I can't help but feel sad about it. Since you tolerate the priest's willfulness, please also tolerate my weakness..."
Only then did Agron understand that in Chanel's mind, the priest had already been regarded as a relative. It was no wonder that Chanel had lost her family since she was a child. For her, the kind and gentle old priest was exactly what she wanted.
"Grandfather" image.
"Well, it doesn't matter... It's a good thing to see that you have so much glorious humanity." Aigron smiled and nodded, "We have seen too many bloody killings, and we never lack the ability to destroy our opponents.
Determination, so I would like to have more warm colors around me."
Then, he made another joke, "However, I am a little jealous. You are so reluctant to let go of the priest. What about me? What will you do if I die suddenly because of a trick of fate?"
Chanel raised her head, her face turned pale with fright.
"I have never thought about this problem... because I will never let you die before me. Your Majesty, please don't say such things, okay? Even if it is a joke, it will make me grief-stricken. I heard about your assassination before.
I was injured, and I almost fainted..."
Chanel's reaction did not surprise Egeron, and he stopped teasing him.
Seeing Chanel's cowering and confused look, he was even more moved.
"Okay, I'm just joking. Don't take it seriously. Don't worry, I care about my own life more than you do. I will stand proudly in this world until my last enemy dies."
Then, he took Chanel to the lakeside, walking in the forest and admiring the scenery of the mountains and waters of the lake.
Aiglon first looked at the swaying reflection in the water, then looked up at the white clouds, and then spoke again.
"Chanel, we haven't been alone like this for a long time."
"Yes, Your Majesty, it has been a long, long time." Chanel replied silently, "It has been so long that I almost forgot the last time."
Her tone was calm, but there was also a small complaint in it, as if she was accusing His Majesty of why he had neglected her for so long.
"There is nothing we can do about it..." Aigron defended himself in a low voice. "Even if I want to be alone, there will be many things that come to me. Besides, I have to accompany Theresa."
Chanel suddenly lowered his head, and then answered him in a low voice with a volume that was almost inaudible. "If... if you are worried about Your Highness Theresa, in fact... in fact, she also hinted to me, asking me to stay in your loneliness.
I'll accompany you to relieve your boredom..."
Aigron was stunned. Although Chanel's words were very vague, from her blushing and shy look, it was self-evident what she meant by "relieving her boredom".
"She...she really doesn't care?" Aigron asked, but as soon as he said the words, he regretted why he asked such a shameful question.
"How could you not care? Just...take it as a reward for me. In the eyes of Princess Teresa, I am just a useful servant and a friend you can talk to, but I will never be a competitor, not even
I don't deserve to be jealous of her..." Chanel's words inevitably brought a bit of sourness, but more of it was the helplessness of admitting the reality, "Your Highness is pregnant now, and I won't be able to spend time with you in a few months. Rather than worry,
What would you do in private? It's better to let me help you vent those desires. She didn't say so explicitly, but I guess that's what she meant. She did this in the past."
Aigron became a little distraught after hearing this.
He has never had sex since he was injured in an assassination. He has been staying with Theresa these days and has no chance. At this time, the charming Chanel is beside him. Since Theresa has acquiesced, then
Not as good as...
However, he knew in his heart that he should not appear impatient at this time. He should first help Chanel repair her damaged self-esteem, so that she could make her feel that he did not just regard her as a tool to vent his desires.
"You don't need to belittle yourself like this. Chanel, I have said before that you are our family, and everything I own will be your share. If we are noble, then you are as noble as us. No one can despise you.
Even Teresa has to respect you."
"Your Majesty, I will never forget your kindness to me, but... everyone knows some things well. No matter how high you lift me, you can't change other people's impressions, including my own. After all, everything is the same.
It is a well-known fact that although she and I are almost the same age, we are very different. Many things were destined at the moment of birth... You don't have to worry that I can't adapt to these.
I have received enough training so far, and I know what reality is." Chanel replied with a wry smile, "And you don't have to worry about me being sad about it, I have already accepted it all, and I am very happy and satisfied... Your Majesty
, without you, my destiny will only be bleak. Only by your side can I borrow a little of your brilliance and let myself be looked up to by others. This is enough. What else can I ask for?
I just hope that days like this can continue forever. Even if I am just used as a pawn by Her Majesty Teresa, it is okay. It can even be said that this is better. I will not hinder you... I see you happy and I feel very happy.
, I look forward to the safe birth of Princess Teresa's child as much as you do, and hope that your family will prosper forever..."
When she said this, she finally couldn't control her emotions. Although she blushed, she boldly approached Aigron, "If...if you need anything, I will be very honored to assume my obligation."
of."
Faced with this temptation, Aigron finally couldn't bear it anymore. He stretched out his hand and held Chanel in his arms.
"What is an obligation? You actually want it, right?"
"I've thought about it so much..." Chanel didn't make any struggle, but snuggled her head into Aigron's arms obediently, "Your Majesty, how about you satisfy my humble wish..."
Aigron's blood was already pumping, and his hands had skillfully penetrated into the restricted area through the gap in the collar of the skirt. However, his last remaining rationality told him that he could not just do it in broad daylight and behind closed doors.
Yes, you have to find a place with some shelter.
He looked around at the lake, and then found a hut used for fishing. Just when he was about to take Chanel there to "take responsibility", a scene-shattering shout came from behind him.
"His Majesty!"
"Damn it!" Aigron couldn't help but cursed secretly.
There were guards following him all the time, but under his orders, these guards would stay far away from him, and no one dared to do anything bad to him without opening his eyes. And this time he recognized the person calling him, it was his.
Secretary Leon Esposito.
He was filled with anger for a moment, but his reason told him that if Leon came to find him at this time, there must be something important, so he had to raise his head and look at the direction from which the sound came.
"What's up!?"
After hearing his response, Leon immediately ran over from the woods, and then he saw Chanel, whose face was red and even slightly angry, hugging the young man's arms.
His heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he realized that he had disturbed the scenery, so he quickly turned his eyes away and did not dare to take another look.
"Your Majesty... I'm sorry, there is an emergency here, so I have to come over urgently to report the situation to you."
Although Aigron was also very angry, he knew the seriousness after all, and he also knew that Leon was not a fool who made trouble for nothing, so he patiently asked the other party. "What happened?"
"A nobleman from France secretly came to the city of Ioannina. He claimed that he was the current French ambassador to Istanbul." Leon answered.
"What?" Aigron was very shocked, "Ambassador? Is it true? Why did he come to me?"
For a moment, his mind was a little confused. Could it be that the Bourbon family was preparing to make some secret deal with him?
"We don't know whether he is genuine or not, but judging from his conversation and demeanor, he should be a well-established person." Leon answered cautiously, "And that gentleman claimed that he had met you. You
I will definitely remember him, and as long as I mention his name to you, you will not doubt his identity."
"Oh? That's not a small tone." Aigron sneered, "Then what's his name?"
"He said his name was Count Telewin, that he had visited you before and had met with you at Schönbrunn Palace."
"Count Telewin!?" Chanel, who was in Aigron's arms, suddenly poked his head out, and then looked at Leon in horror.
If it were anyone else, Chanel might not be impressed at all, but with this Earl of Telewin, Chanel was extremely impressed.
At that time, the count who served as the French ambassador to Austria came to Schönbrunn Palace to visit Aiglon, and inadvertently revealed that he had served as a member of the circuit court that suppressed the Bonapartists in the south of France. This meant that he must be responsible for
The Chanel family bears unshirkable responsibility for their deaths.
In return for Chanel, Aigron had already promised that once he came to France one day, he would deal with the count severely and use him to pay homage to the innocent souls of Chanel's family.
And today, the count suddenly condescended to run to Ioannina... This is really unpredictable.
In addition to being excited, Aigron also felt a little more aware.
He recalled his conversation with Count Telewin at that time. It was at that time that the Count revealed that he was not completely loyal to the Bourbon royal family, but was studying under Prince Talleyrand and wanted to maneuver between various forces.
Now that he came to visit me in person, it probably wasn't for the Wang family...
When he thought of this, Aigron suddenly felt reassured.
He let go of Chanel's arms, and then looked at each other again.
"Chanel, what do you think?"
His expression was quite serious, as if he was asking Chanel how to deal with this unexpected visitor.
To be honest, in these days of war, the distant journey itself is also full of dangers. If Aigron had the heart, he could secretly kill the visiting earl and then cause an accident. Anyway, there is no proof of death, and no one would do it for this.
Guy, come and seek justice for yourself.
If Chanel wanted to do it, he would do it.
And Chanel could naturally feel what the young man meant, and her eyes were full of gratitude and joy.
But soon, she shook her head gently.
"Your Majesty, I can wait. There is no need to rush. I don't want you to lose anything because of me... There will always be a chance."
"Humph, is he worthy?" Aigron sneered disdainfully.
Talleyrand was just that, Count Telewin was nothing.
But since Chanel said so, he was not in a hurry to let the count die "accidentally" now.
Let’s first find out what the purpose of his trip is.
He turned to look at Leon, and Leon was also baffled by the conversation between the two people, but he just didn't dare to ask.
"How is he now?" Aigron asked.
"He is now properly placed in the guest room by me. The information has been blocked. No one knows his true identity." Leon replied quickly.
"Okay, Leon, take him over to see me after dinner," Aiglon gave the order. "Chanel will also be there."
Leon felt a little strange about this arrangement, but seeing the expressions of the two people, he didn't dare to question it and immediately nodded and agreed.
