Chapter 744: Trading, Trading, Trading
After a while, the two returned to Viscount Juan and Bella's side, and after a few small talks, Her Majesty took Bella away to discuss some "matters between women", leaving Leo and Viscount Juan behind.
Looking at the figures of the two women, one big and one small, Leo couldn't help but shake his head, and smiled at Viscount Juan in front of him: "Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for a while... Let's go for a walk, Lord Viscount. β
Viscount Juan smiled, took a glass of wine from the waiter's plate, raised his head and drank it all: "His Majesty the Pope invited, I am naturally respectful rather than obeying." β
Walking side by side, the two slowly left the center of the banquet, the lively music and voices gradually faded away, and colorful flowers bloomed on both sides of the quiet path, and the fragrance of flowers filled the air, which was refreshing.
"What a great place." Leo couldn't help but sigh, and then said to Viscount Juan beside him, "You know, it reminds me of the night when you, me, and Leon camped outside Ridmar not long ago. β
Viscount Juan was slightly stunned, then immediately remembered, and said with a smile: "Yes, at that time, we were still traveling with the hunting party of the former Emperor Charles XVI, and if I remember correctly, Leon was also ravaged by a group of noblewomen that day." β
The two laughed in unison.
After a while, Viscount Juan suddenly sighed slightly: "It's a pity that Leon is dead." β
"yes, he's dead." Leo's face was also a little regretful, although he was not familiar with Leon, but Leo still had a good impression of the son that Prime Minister Paul loved the most, so he spoke again: "The person who killed him is Cleverley, so we have actually helped him avenge him." β
Viscount Juan showed a surprised expression, apparently this was the first time the young viscount knew the truth of the matter, and after a long while, he said, "I see... That's good, at least the murderer has been ambushed, and it can be regarded as a spirit in the sky that can comfort him. β
There was an inexplicable silence.
After a moment, Viscount Juan spoke again: "Your Majesty Leo, actually... My father has something for me to convey to you. β
The expression on Leo's face was very calm: "Say it." β
Viscount Juan said: "Father, he said that the empire at this moment, like the church, needs most after so many difficulties and tribulations, what is needed most is a stable situation and a mentality of helping each other in the same boat. β
Leo smiled slightly, Duke Habs's words were not actually unexpected by him: "Lord Duke, please tell your father that the Church and the Empire were inseparable close allies in the past, and will be in the future, which is why I will agree to Her Majesty the Empress to send troops to the Kingdom of France." But I must also make one thing clear, Bella is my woman, and I have promised her that I will take back everything she has lost. β
Viscount Juan was silent for a while, nodded, and gently saluted Leo: "I understand." If Your Majesty has nothing else to command, then I will take my leave. β
Leo looked at the respectful Viscount Juan in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little emotion in his heart, and reached out and patted the other party's broad shoulder: "I don't have many friends, no matter what, you are one of them." β
Viscount Juan's body shook, but he didn't speak, just nodded slightly, and then turned to leave.
After Viscount Juan left, Leo stood in place for a while, and suddenly said: "Lord Duke hasn't come out yet, could it be that he has nothing to say to me?" β
A sigh came from not far away: "His Majesty Leo's eyes are really like a torch, which is admirable. β
As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of Duke Lean came out of a certain flower bush and appeared in front of Leo.
Looking at Duke Lean, who was saluting him in front of him, Leo suddenly appeared, and it turned out that even such a famous person who was famous all over the world and was about to tremble a few times when he stomped his feet, he had to salute himself respectfully.
A sense of self-satisfaction crept up, like a stream of flowing honey, slowly flowing around Leo's body, flowing to the deepest part of his heart, and sweetening every corner of his body.
But this feeling is only a flash in Leo's heart, the revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still have to work hard.
Leo, who came back to his senses, smiled and looked at Duke Lean in front of him: "Lord Duke, it's only been a short day, but we have met for the third time, it seems that there is really a fate between the two of us." β
A wry smile appeared on Duke Li'an's face, and he said, "Your Majesty, don't make fun of me, you must know my intentions very well." β
Leo shook his head, his face suddenly corrected: "You are in too much of a hurry, Lord Duke. I think you should know that there are some things that cannot be negotiated in a moment. β
"I understand." Duke Li'an nodded, and then sighed again: "I hope you can understand, I really can't afford to delay, you may not know what the glorious history of the Golden Lion Family means to me, but what I have to tell you is that no matter what the price is, even if it is death, I will maintain this glory that has been inherited for three hundred years." β
"Okay." Leo frowned slightly, it was indeed difficult for him to understand this so-called inheritance of ancestral glory and the like, but Leo could see an obvious thing, that is, Duke Lion and the Golden Lion Family may have really reached the point of complete desperation.
As soon as he thought of this, Leo had a new understanding of Teresa I's ability, and was able to force the Golden Lion Family to this point in less than half a month, and Her Majesty's skills were really amazing.
But Duke Leo's predicament is also what Leo is happy to see, and the reason is quite simple, the more desperate people are, the easier it is to agree to the harsh conditions that they usually don't agree to at all, isn't it? What's more, the condition that Leo proposed next was not harsh at all for Duke Lean.
Then Leo spoke, "Let's tell the truth, Lord Duke. You should be well aware that my fiancΓ©e, Princess Bella, is the only legitimate heir to the Kingdom of France today, and if the Imperial Army destroys the traitors Louis and the Jimny barbarians and recovers the Kingdom of France, then my Bela deserves the throne of France, right? β
Duke Lian agreed without any hesitation: "Your Majesty Leo, I can assure you that as long as I am still the commander of the army, then I will fully support Princess Bella to become the new queen of France." β
"Very good." Leo couldn't help but laugh and stretched out his hand to Duke Lian: "In that case, then I would like to wish you Lord Duke here that when you take command of the expedition to the Kingdom of France, you can bring back the news of victory for the thousands of people of the empire and the great Supreme God of Light as soon as possible." β
Duke Lean was stunned for a moment, then finally came to his senses, and stretched out his hand very excitedly, holding Leo's hand tightly.
"The Golden Lion Family will never forget your kindness, Your Majesty the Pope."
