Eagle’s Glory

Chapter 150: 38. Decision

"Alright alright!"

Under the earnest gaze of the cardinal, Aigron could only agree.

He didn't know why his grandmother liked Teresa so much, but he decided to accept her after meeting her for the first time, and he had to make his grandson bow his head, but judging from the current situation, if he wanted to please his grandmother, it seemed The only option is to reconcile with Teresa.

Moreover, logically speaking, I owe Teresa's favor in the first place, and they should be grateful for the opportunity to make up for the relationship.

He recalled the memories of his interactions with Teresa, and suddenly there was a little bit of anticipation in his heart.

If there is a chance to make up for the harm he has caused her, why not do it.

"Since you agreed, then I have nothing to worry about." Seeing the young man talking so well, the cardinal was relieved, "Your Majesty, I will report to Letizia after I go back, she will be very happy. . Then I'll pass on your performance to her, and I think she'll be very pleased, and then do her best to support your plan."

"If so, that's for the best." Aegron nodded, then asked, "When can I see my grandmother? I can't wait."

"Trust me, your grandmother wants to see her precious grandson more than anyone else." The cardinal smiled wryly, "but now the situation is special, your safety is more important than anything else, and she lives in the center of Rome. , is by no means a place you can easily set foot in... so we need to make arrangements so that she will meet you after it is safe. It will take a while, but before that, you can find a way to meet Princess Teresa , I think this news will make the old lady happier."

In the end, he couldn't get around Teresa... Aegron smiled bitterly in his heart.

It was beyond his expectation that the two old men were speaking for Teresa with such high spirits.

The cardinal took out a page of paper from his pocket and handed it to the young man, "This is the address that Princess Teresa wrote down before she left, please go see her as soon as possible, and don't make her suffer any longer. Wait, otherwise it would be really pitiful to think about."

"Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible." Aigron nodded, then took the paper from the cardinal's hand.

"Then I have nothing to worry about, Your Majesty." The cardinal smiled, "I will also cheer up and serve you with the fullest energy - I will run for you in Rome, do The intermediary between you and the higher-ups of the church is as dedicated as you were to your father."

Perhaps because of the rekindling of hope, the cardinal swept away his old state, full of fighting spirit, and regained his former demeanor.

This uncle is reliable. Aegron thought to himself.

That's right, he originally came from a humble background, and the greatest glory in his life was being promoted by his nephew, Emperor Napoleon, and soaring in the church. At one point, even His Majesty the Pope was very envious of him. How could he not appreciate the emperor's grace? Moreover, this cardinal is in the church, has no wife and no children, and when he is old, the only remaining goal in life is to regain his former glory.

Very good, as long as you have this spirit, you can accomplish great things.

Then, he expressed his thoughts again, "Since we want to go through the high-level route, let's find the key points first. Lord Bishop, I am not familiar with the high-level church, so I want to ask you - Father Faria Among the friends who wrote the letter, who was the most influential and helpful to us?"

"Of course it's the Cardinal Vittorio Esposito I mentioned just now." The old man replied without hesitation, "As long as you can impress him, your idea is half realized."

"Well, then go to him, show our sincerity, and let him make a price. As long as it is within the range I can bear, I can give it." As he said, Aegron grabbed the jewelry and put it in Put it in a small bag, "These are your activities funds, as long as he dares to collect them, you can just give them."

Then, Aigron picked up the extra-large piece of jade, stuffed it into the bag, and handed it directly to the cardinal, "After we negotiate, please hand over this piece of jade to this man. Cardinal, let him present it to His Majesty the Pope in due time."

Aigron's performance is unusually generous, but this is something that can't be helped - he can't walk around in the city of Rome and get through the relationship. The only person he can trust and has the ability to help him achieve his goals is this uncle. Grandpa, so after confirming the loyalty of the other party, it is logical to entrust him to handle the matter.

Since he had to be entrusted to him no matter what, there was no need for Aegron to pretend to be swayed. He knew that the more he showed unreserved trust in the cardinal, the more loyal he would be.

"What a great piece of writing!" Looking at this huge piece of jade, the cardinal couldn't help but click his tongue, "Your Majesty, aren't you worried that he is hiding it?"

"To be honest, I'm not worried." Aigron smiled and shook his head, "Since he is a close friend of Father Faria, then he must be a smart man, and if he is a smart man, then he must think clearly, There are some things in the world that he can't take and can't take. If His Majesty the Pope one day learns that he has hidden the rare treasures we bring to the Pope, then he will know what happens to him."

Then he changed the topic again, "Besides, although I am alone now, I can still find dozens or hundreds of die-hard followers. Of course it's not enough to overthrow His Majesty the Pope, assassinating someone who doesn't do anything with money. Cardinals should still be pretty relaxed...so what should I worry about?"

Seeing the young man talking and laughing so lightly about bribery and assassination, and speaking in a reasonable and coherent manner, the cardinal couldn't help but feel very relieved.

Even the cardinal doesn't take it seriously! It does have the style of the emperor back then...

Very good, very good, this is exactly what I want to see.

"I understand, everything will be done according to your will, Your Majesty." The Cardinal bowed to take orders.

After so many years, he finally began to serve the emperor of the Bonaparte family again, which was a good feeling.

"Okay, I think I should say goodbye, Your Majesty." The cardinal felt that the time was almost up, so he said goodbye to the young man, "Please take care."

"I also ask you and your grandmother to take good care of your health. You are all elders of the family, and your help to me is irreplaceable... I look forward to one day being able to support you and filial piety."

"I also look forward to your coming to France!" The cardinal bowed respectfully to Aegron.

Before leaving, he told Aegron again, "Although Rome is a territory under the Pope's rule, it is not a peaceful place. You must pay attention to safety."

"I will. Bye!"

"goodbye!"

The cardinal turned and left the room. He was on his way back to Rome to meet his sister, while Chanel stayed here. She had completed her mission.

Aigron walked to the window and watched the cardinal get on the carriage and leave the hotel. Then he picked up the paper left by the cardinal, and with the dim candlelight, Aigron read the writing on it clearly.

As soon as he saw the beautiful handwriting, Aigron confirmed that it must be Teresa's handwriting - after all, he had visited Teresa's study, and naturally he had seen her handwriting.

So this is no joke, Teresa really came, and even before her, she visited her grandmother and won her favor.

Also, what kind of elders would not like such a cute and humble girl as Teresa?

Aigron wrote down the address recorded on the paper, then walked to the desk, picked up the map of Rome that he had purchased after he came to the outskirts of Rome, and compared it.

He came from the port of Civitavecchia in the northwest of Rome, and naturally he also found a hotel to stay on the road northwest of Rome; and Teresa came from the Venezia region in northern Italy controlled by Austria. came here, so she stayed at the hotel in the northeast direction.

If you compare the map, to be honest, the distance is a bit far, but it is not much. It is only about 20 kilometers away. If you take a carriage, you can get there in one or two hours.

Come to think of it, Teresa should be full of anticipation now, anxiously waiting for her to meet...

But rushing over so rashly is obviously not very safe.

Aegron thought for a while, then looked at Chanel, who had been silent next to him.

"Chanel, did you see Teresa when you visited my grandmother today? If you count the time, you should have bumped into it."

"Yes, I saw it." Chanel lowered his head in a complicated mood, "Her Royal Highness was very excited when she saw me, because she knew that it meant that she could know your whereabouts."

Although Chanel's words were vague, Aegron could imagine the ecstasy and relief that Teresa felt when she saw her.

Thinking of this, his heart couldn't help throbbing.

"This silly girl!" He couldn't help sighing, "In comparison, I'm really ashamed."

At this moment, he decided that no matter what, he must go to see Teresa, otherwise it would be too inhuman.

"Your Majesty, do you want to see her?" Chanel asked suddenly.

"Yes, I just decided." Aegron nodded unquestionably. "Since my grandmother has said so, I should go and reconcile with Teresa."

Chanel's head bowed.

"If this is your decision, I would never object, but I think you should be more careful, since she is surrounded by people from Austria."

"I know." Agron shrugged.

"Don't think I'm trying to stir up differences." Chanel quickly explained what he meant for fear of being misunderstood by his master, "I never doubted His Highness Teresa's kindness to you—anyone who saw her just like that. No one would doubt it, but it is difficult for other Austrians to say. Her Royal Highness Teresa said that the people who escorted her to Rome were arranged by her father, which logically would not violate the wishes of Her Royal Highness, but no one could guarantee the inside. No one or two would want to take your credit...if that's the case, then you're in danger."

After expressing her concerns, she put forward her own thoughts, "Otherwise, I will call the front line for you first and contact Her Royal Highness, and after we are sure of safety, we will find a way for you and her to find a chance to meet. ."

"Chanel, doesn't this transfer the danger to you? Don't forget that the Austrians also know your existence now—" Aigron shook his head, and then rejected Chanel's suggestion.

Then, frowning, he started pacing the room, looking for an idea.

After a while, he had a flash of inspiration and came up with an idea.

"By the way!" He waved his hand gently, "I can write a letter to Teresa, forged as her father's handwriting, recommending her to go sightseeing in a place outside Rome, and no one will read it. Any questions. I can put a few irrelevant words in the letter, and as long as you read these words, Teresa's intellect can definitely tell that it is me who wrote it, and then she can know what to do."

It is not surprising that the father wrote a letter to his daughter when his daughter was traveling, suggesting where to travel, so even if someone peeked at Teresa's letter, they would not notice anything unusual.

"Imitate the handwriting of Archduke Karl?" Chanel was a little surprised, "You... can you?"

"No way, only by imitating Archduke Karl can the letter be delivered to her." Aegron sighed, "I have visited Archduke Karl's house, entered his study, and naturally read his handwriting. Of course. In this case, I can only learn a little bit, but I should be able to fool people in a short time. Anyway, now that everyone is in Rome, even if I want to check with Austria, it is too late!"

The more he spoke, the more excited Aegron felt.

He picked up the map again and looked around the city of Rome to find a suitable place to meet.

This place had better be a tourist attraction, so that it all made sense.

Where does it fit? His fingers moved across the map and finally stopped.

"Hadrian's Palace..." he muttered to himself, then nodded. "This place is not bad."

Relying on the impression in his own memory, he vaguely remembered that it was a villa built by the Roman Emperor Adrian, about 30 kilometers east of Rome.

The villa occupies a large area and has a complex and beautiful complex of buildings and sculptures - of course, more of the ruins that have been refuted over time.

Teresa loves art, and it's perfectly normal to go here and see it, and no one will doubt it.

The terrain here is complicated, and he can observe the surrounding situation at any time. If the situation is not good, it is very simple for him to escape.

Of course, it would be best if nothing happened... He could have a good meeting with Teresa, and by the way, it would really be a trip together and appreciate the architectural art of the ancient Romans.

The more he thought about it, the happier he was.

OK, let's do that.

After Chanel listened to his idea, he found that he couldn't say anything, so he chose to remain silent.

Aigron saw Chanel's depressed mood and asked.

"Chanel, don't you like Teresa?"

"Your Majesty, this is not something I am qualified to consider - and I think that Her Royal Highness Teresa is indeed very likable." Chanel still lowered his head and replied in a low voice, "However, I beg you not to leave me alone. "

"Why do you think so? No." Aegron replied with a smile. "Have you forgotten what I said when I was at Schönbrunn Palace?"

Chanel recalled what Aegron had said before.

Then, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

It was a joke, but she hoped it wouldn't be a joke.

"That's good... Please remember that I have nothing but this, Your Majesty."
