"Using her feelings for her sister to manipulate her, it really makes me a little ashamed, may God forgive me..."

Hearing Alice's sigh, the Marquis of Treville felt very uncomfortable.

Ever since Alice married into her own family, she has been doing her best to fulfill her responsibilities as a daughter-in-law, honoring herself, helping herself maintain her family business, and participating in such a dangerous activity without any regrets, and even now letting her My sister is also at risk.

She originally had too many better choices, but she insisted on her decision without hesitation, and never complained.

Thinking of this, his heart was also full of guilt.

In this situation, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little melancholy.

Soon, he regained his strength.

"Okay, then we're done, I'll order Edgar, go and intercede with Agnes—"

When he said this, his expression suddenly became a little strange again.

"Do you have any concerns?" Seeing his expression, Alice asked quickly.

"I remember that your sisters met your Majesty in Switzerland before?" General Treville asked softly, "How is your Majesty's relationship with Agnes?"

"His Majesty is a talented person with an easy-going and funny personality, so he gets along very well with each of us." Alice replied immediately, "As for Agnes... She should also appreciate His Majesty very much, but not because of him. It was because of his swordsmanship that the two of them had a serious discussion. Agnes was slightly inferior, and she has always been brooding about it. I think this is the first time she has encountered such an opponent among her peers. —"

"Isn't this a perfect match?" said the Marquis of Treville in a low voice. "I didn't expect our most useful place to be here!"

Seeing his expression, Alice suddenly understood.

"This can't be done!" She subconsciously objected, "His Majesty's status will definitely find a princess to marry him. I'm afraid Agnes is not suitable for him. Moreover, Agnes is very stubborn and sometimes quite stubborn. I am afraid that I may not be able to win His Majesty's favor."

"Alice, you think too much, I don't want to order Agnes to do something... I'm not qualified to order her." The Marquis of Treville shook his head gently, "However, in my opinion, Your Majesty Although he is powerful, he is still a teenager after all, and Agnes is the same. They are similar in age, and they are both talented... Since both of them are like this, it is not surprising that they are attracted to each other, right? Maybe that could happen, so I want to ask you, if they were really in love, what would you do?"

"He has a fiancée," Alice pleaded.

"Who still takes that engagement seriously now? After he left Vienna, it was automatically abandoned." General Treville disagreed.

Alice was silent, she hadn't considered a similar situation at all, and always felt it was too absurd.

But when you think about it, it doesn't seem that ridiculous.

In her mind, the scene when she met the young man a few months ago appeared again.

The handsome appearance of the young man, the talent of both civil and military, and the arrogance and easy-going bearing at the same time, as well as the self-confidence of going forward despite being in a difficult situation, all left her a deep impression.

From an objective standpoint, she admits that he is indeed very attractive, especially to girls.

According to the question of the Marquis of Treville - assuming that they really fell in love, and they were in love with each other, it seemed that they couldn't find any reason to object.

What's your stand against it?

"If this is the case, I have no right to interfere in my sister's private life." After hesitating for a moment, Alice replied. "I am happy to wish her the best possible home."

At this time, Alice didn't even know that Princess Teresa had returned to His Majesty's side. If she knew, she would have given another answer.

"Okay, then let's look forward to what happens next... Maybe everything is just my boring delusion." The Marquis of Treville nodded with a smile. "Alice, take a good rest."

In the evening, Edgar de Treville returned to his home, exhausted from the pleasure-seeking.

However, before he could rest, his father's valet found him and told him that the general wanted to see him.

Edgar did not dare to neglect, and immediately followed the servant to his father's study.

As soon as he came in, Edgar secretly cried out in his heart, because his father's face was a bit more severe than usual, and he clearly felt that his father's expression was not good.

"Dad, what's the matter?" he asked softly.

"Where have you been today?" the general asked impatiently.

"I went to the club to play with my friends," Edgar replied immediately. "We played cards together so we forgot the time..."

His speech was very fast, and his expression didn't change at all, it looked just like the real thing.

"Bullshit!" However, General Treville immediately interrupted his son's lie with a growl. "Do you really think I don't know what you did now? I'll give you another chance and tell me where you came from!"

His father's roar made Edgar's face pale in fright.

"I went to meet Princess Cardiyang... I asked me to paint a few more paintings for her." He had no choice but to answer honestly.

"Besides painting a few pictures, didn't you do anything else?" The Marquis sneered.

"No, after all, she's pregnant, so we just took it easy..." Edgar blurted out.

In an instant, he realized something was wrong, and he hurriedly shut his mouth, but it was already too late, and he clearly saw his father's eyes widen and staring at him with terrifying eyes.

"Beast!" The Marquis of Treville trembled with anger, and then immediately looked around.

Next, he picked up the whip that had been placed beside the shotgun.

"dad!"

Edgar hurriedly begged for mercy while dodging.

Hearing his son's begging for mercy, although the Marquis was furious, he was reluctant to fight him, so he could only fan him fiercely.

Only a loud, crisp sound was heard, and the horsewhip slammed hard against the border of the fireplace.

"Dad...don't be like this..." Edgar was so frightened that he couldn't help himself.

"Your wife is doing all she can for our family, but you are wandering outside, and you have created a wild seed..." Perhaps the whipping made him vent too much, and the Marquis of Treville stopped. down, gasping for breath. "God testify, how could I raise such a son!"

While cursing, he looked helplessly at his only son.

He knew that it was too late to say anything. After the early death of his wife, he took on the roles of both father and mother by himself. However, as an officer, how did he know how to educate him? In addition, he was out for a long time, and he neglected to discipline his son. When he came back to his senses, his son had already formed such a character, and it was too late to change it.

It was really too late, and now he could only pin his hopes on the next generation. He made up his mind to educate Alice's child no matter what this time, so that this child could grow up his lintel and fulfill his wish to stand on the top of power. .

As for Edgar, now he can only make the best use of it, and try to make him play a little role.

"You are not allowed to disclose a word of these things, especially not to let Alice know." Thinking of this, he didn't want to say more to his son. "I have already decided that you must go to His Majesty's side to serve you, and as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty?" Edgar didn't respond. "What's wrong, Your Majesty?"

"His Majesty is ready to go on an expedition to Greece, and he gave me instructions that I should try my best to recruit people for him in France to drive him." The Marquis of Treville briefly explained to his son, "I thought about it and thought that we are a family. I must not be absent from such a grand event... Since I have always been entrusted by His Majesty, I should set an example. If I can't go by myself, then you go."

"I'm afraid this is not right..." Edgar objected subconsciously, "Dad, it's not like you don't know that I can't fight, and... do you have the heart to let me face the flames of war?"

"You idiot!" The Marquis of Treville couldn't help but scolded again, "I don't care what method you use, in short, you must behave by His Majesty's side, not only for you and me, but also for your children! I am now I don't ask you to do any great work, but you have to think that our Treville family needs you to perform now, and your impression around His Majesty will determine our future! I won't talk to you about great achievements, You must disagree, but I have raised you for more than 20 years, even if you are a little grateful, you have to help me do this well!"

The marquis' roar and reprimand were thrown at Edgar's head, causing him to bow his head in shame.

Although he is dissolute and likes to have fun, he also knows that he is a part of this family after all. Father needs him to do this well.

In this case, even if he is reluctant to live in Paris, he has no other choice.

"Okay, since you say so, I'll go, and I'll do my best, Father."

In the end, he could only nod his head and agreed to his father's request.

"That's what it looks like." Marquis Treville's expression finally softened a little.

However, his anger still lingered, and he continued to stare at his son.

"Considering your long journey, I've asked Alice to intercede with her sister and let her **** you all the way," he whispered.

"Really? That's great!" Edgar also sighed in relief.

He had seen Agnes' skills with his own eyes, and if he could have her escort, he would of course feel much more at ease.

"When you arrive, you must flatter Your Majesty, use your brains and talents, and please His Majesty. No matter what, you must do it!" When he said this, the expression of the Marquis suddenly became a little strange. "Also, you can try your best to match His Majesty and Agnes. No matter how I think about it, I think this is feasible and beneficial to us."

"Huh?" Edgar was a little surprised at first, but then he was very happy again, "Father, it seems that we all thought of going together! I mentioned this to His Majesty when I was in Switzerland, and I think they It's a good match... It's a pity that everyone's time together was too short at that time."

Compared to Alice's hesitation and confusion, Edgar, the brother-in-law, naturally agreed.

From his point of view, if Agnes and His Majesty were brought together, it would mean that he would have struggled for many years less - the status of the Treville family in His Majesty's heart would definitely be more stable as a result.

"Okay, these words are only between our father and son, and are not allowed to be disclosed to anyone." The Marquis of Treville became serious again, and then ordered his son, "Now, go and prepare your bags and leave. The sooner the better."

Edgar sighed inwardly, but he could only agree.

He knew that this meant that he might not see the birth of his two children.

Since he was born in this family, he has to shoulder some obligations, although these obligations often bore him, but what can he do? Who called him an only son.

But when the child is born, it will be different. At that time, it can be handed over to the child. Presumably the father is too lazy to take care of himself.

Really looking forward to that day...

While Treville scolded his son harshly, in another corner of the mansion, Alice was also receiving her guests.

"Sister, what's the matter with you calling me here today?" Agnes asked her sister curiously.

Since her sister married to the Treville family, the two families have not usually had contact, but their relationship has not been affected. She often comes to visit her sister.

"I have something very important to ask for your help, Agnes." Alice replied solemnly.

"What's the matter? Is it serious?" Seeing her sister's expression, Agnes immediately became serious.

"My husband had to travel a long way recently... I'm a little worried about him, but because I'm pregnant and unable to move, I hope you can **** him with him." Alice whispered her request, " Agnes, I know this is a bit of a hassle for you, but I ask you to promise me."

"What? You're already like this, what's he going to do? It's crazy." Agnes immediately made an opinion.

"It's not his fault, it's really urgent." Alice shook her head, "Agnes, we have to do this."

Seeing her sister's expression, Agnes became even more suspicious.

She vaguely guessed something.

"What is it that makes you so anxious?" she asked in a low voice, "is it the gentleman's business?"

Alice didn't know how to reply to her.

While she was still hesitating, Agnes continued to ask, "I am very happy to help you, because you are my dearest sister, you know that. But you must tell me what I am going through. What? Also, where is our destination?"

Alice thought for a while, and she really couldn't hide it now.

"It's going to Greece... Your Majesty will have a big operation there, and he needs help, and the Marquis of Treville believes that in this case, our family must not be absent, so he sent Edgar to represent him, and that's it."

Agnes blinked, still somewhat incomprehensible.

But she knew that this was all her sister could tell her.

As for her choice, of course there is only one.

"Okay." She nodded, "I will fulfill your wish, don't worry."

"Thank you, Agnes!" Alice was relieved and ashamed, and almost cried, "You are always so reliable."

"That's right, we are sisters!" Agnes laughed.

Then, she grabbed her sister's hand, "Then you must take care."

"I will definitely." Alice also grabbed her hand. "So do you. Also, you must be more respectful when you see His Majesty. He is not what he used to be now."

"Hmph, how can you be so powerful? Didn't you sleep in the cellar at the beginning?" Agnes shook her head in disapproval, "I'm not afraid of him..."
