Chapter 254: Two Questions
While the Duke of Leanne and Prime Minister Paul were discussing countermeasures on the high platform, Princess Bela, who had risen from her seat, set her eyes on Charles XVI, who was slowly walking towards the center of the high platform. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The previous emperor, the empress of Charles XV, gave birth to a boy and a girl, and the eldest male inherited the throne when he grew up, and it was Charles XVI. The youngest daughter married Frans and became the queen of Bonaparte XI and gave birth to a daughter, Princess Bera.
To put it simply, Charles XV and his queen are the grandparents of Princess Bera, and His Majesty Charles XVI is the maternal uncle of Queen Renee, the mother of Princess Bera, and now Bella is the only relative in this world.
For Bella, this uncle is also her only hope of revenge against the traitor Louie, who killed her family.
Since Princess Bella entered the palace in Ridmar, Charles XVI had summoned her only once, and in the only time the two were alone, His Majesty the Emperor only asked two questions.
The first sentence is: "Do you think that I will annex the kingdom of France by marriage?" β
This question immediately stopped Princess Bela. In fact, not only one or a few people think this way, but almost all people who have some knowledge of politics think this way. Even the two princes and Princess Bella thought so, otherwise the two princes would not have pursued Princess Bella so passionately - at least not as crazy as they are now.
But if it is compared to the second question, then this first question seems to be a little insignificant.
The second sentence is: "Son, do you want to be a queen?" β
From that moment on, Princess Bella knew that many people, including herself, were completely wrong in their guesses about Charles XVI.
In his capacity as His Majesty the Emperor, there was no need for him to lie to anyone at all.
Charles XVI slowly stopped, and scanned the crowd under the high platform with his eyes. The emperor's gaze was full of majesty, and anyone who looked at such a majestic gaze couldn't help but bow their head in respect of the king.
There were tens of thousands of people under the high platform, but when Charles XVI withdrew his gaze, everyone was already silent, waiting for His Majesty the Emperor to speak.
Charles XVI didn't keep people waiting long.
"Everyone is welcome to come and participate in the hunt, the top players in today's hunt will be rewarded by me, I hope you can have fun. Now I declare - the hunt has officially begun! Although he is over fifty years old, Charles XVI's voice is still full of energy.
A loud cheer immediately swept through the crowd, and many of those who had been prepared to make a splash for the day immediately drove their horses to gallop towards the depths of the hunting grounds, apparently trying to catch some of the heavy prey before anyone else.
"What are you waiting for, let's go quickly!" Viscount Juan patted Leo's shoulder heavily, Leo subconsciously turned his head to look, and found that not only Viscount Juan, but even Leon next to him also had an eager expression on his face.
Leo glanced up at the high platform not far away, and saw that many people, including His Majesty the Emperor, were coming down from the high platform, and dozens of horses were already waiting under the platform. The Spany Empire has always been martial, and His Majesty the Emperor, who is obviously rare to come out of here, does not want to be just a spectator at this event.
Could it be that Princess Bela's seat this time is really just her own illusion, and it doesn't actually represent any other meaning? A trace of doubt passed through Leo's mind.
What Leo didn't know was that Charles XVI had already made it clear to Princess Bella what he had to say during that summons.
"Let's go." Leo nodded, and followed Viscount Juan and the others away. A few minutes later, the large army had been left far behind them, and then the first prey of the day appeared in their eyes.
It was an adult sika deer, and when Leo found it, it was looking down and nibbling on the grass. It seemed that because no one had come to this hunting ground for a long time, the sika deer only looked up at a few people who were still dozens of meters away, and then continued to eat their own grass with their heads down.
"Don't rob me, this is just mine." Viscount Juan laughed and took his bow and arrow in his hand. Who knew that Leon on the side was also not to be outdone, and after sneering, he also took out his bow and arrows: "Why don't we see whose archery is more accurate?" β
Leo looked at the two of them who didn't give in to each other, and couldn't help but smile: "Since that's the case, then I'll be the referee." I'll count down to three times, and then you'll all shoot at the same time, how about that? β
Both Viscount Juan and LeΓ³n agreed with this opinion, so Leo began to count: "Three, two, one, shoot!" β
As soon as Leo finished speaking, the sound of two bows and arrows firing sounded at the same time, and then the sound of arrows entering the flesh sounded, and the sika deer fell to the ground after a miserable scream, obviously hit by an arrow.
The three of them glanced at each other, and they all galloped towards the place where the sika deer fell to the ground.
By the time the three of them arrived at their destination, the sika deer had stopped breathing. Two arrows were stuck in the deer's body, one with a black shaft striking it in the heart, while the other with a red shaft was slightly off the ground by about ten centimeters.
"You lost, hahaha." A hearty laugh rang out from Leon's mouth, and Viscount Juan's face was uncertain, obviously very unhappy, and he immediately turned his horse away in search of the next prey.
The three of them walked all the way to find it, but they also hit a lot of prey. It's just that Leo has been watching from the sidelines, although Viscount Juan and Leon have also persuaded a few words, but they have no effect. First, Leo is not good at archery, and secondly, although Leo can also gain something with spells, but hunting should be interesting with a bow and arrow and spear, right?
So after half an hour, Leo felt a little bored, and at this moment a small lake appeared not far in front of him, and there was a forest next to the small lake, which seemed to be a good place to rest. So Leo pointed to the woods and said to the other two, "I'll go there and rest." After saying that, he ignored the two companions who were on the rise, and galloped straight towards the grove.
Although Leo brought Morata and the Third Adjudicator with him on this hunt, neither of them was following Leo at the moment, but was left by Leo to camp near the high platform.
Leo was not worried that someone would assassinate him today as he did yesterday, and perhaps Charles XVI would have hoped that his divine favor would immediately fly to his death, but His Majesty would never want to die in such a formal and public setting.
Today, almost all the important people of the empire have come to this hunting ground, and the entire security force must have been increased to the extreme, so there is nothing to worry about. Maybe there are people quietly guarding the grove in front of you.
Leo soon came to the woods, tied his horse, and went to the lake, scooped up the water with his hands, and washed his face. Although the sun was blazing at noon, the water of this small lake was very cool, which made Leo feel refreshed.
After standing up, a rush of urine suddenly came to Leo's mind. Leo looked left and right, and found that the view of the grassland was very clear except for the flat river in all directions, so he resolutely walked towards the grove behind him, preparing to solve his personal problems in the forest.
Soon Leo opened his crotch in the middle of the forest and happily irrigated a tree in the woods, and just as he was about to lift his pants and leave, an unusual smell caught Leo's attention.
Leo had a puzzled look on his face as he slowly walked in the direction the smell was coming from. After walking about twenty steps, Leo was suddenly startled by what he saw.
In front of him, a corpse suddenly appeared.
