When the light of the morning sun spread over the land, two carriages, escorted by fifty soldiers, slowly drove out of the west gate of Varna City, heading west for the capital of the Spanny Empire, the city of Ridmar. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

There is no doubt that this team is of course Leo and his party.

At this time, Leo was riding a white Bilisian horse, the black robe on his body was very decently cut, and he was stepping on a pair of black riding boots.

Riding side by side with Leo was Viscount Juan, who today rode a black horse, and because of its majestic body, it even gave people the illusion that an adult was riding a pony, and the burly body was full of clothes, and it seemed that it might burst open at any time by the bulging muscles inside.

In the two carriages behind Leo and Viscount Juan sat Bishop Gavin and Princess Bera, respectively. Of course, this time our Bishop Gavin didn't need to drive the car himself, and Gamelo, Princess Bella's guardian knight and full-time coachman, was also lying in the Viscount's palace in Varna City, so this time the responsibility fell to the Templar Darwin and the deacon Morata.

To be honest, Leo really hesitated for a while about whether to bring Morata with or not.

There are many reasons not to bring Morata, for example, this guy is actually a spy of the Anglo Kingdom, although on the surface it seems that Morata is determined to abandon his identity as a spy and want to concentrate on hugging the thigh of Leo, the "god favorite", but in Leo's heart, because of the identity of a spy, Morata's loyalty still has to be marked with some question marks.

The second reason is that although Leo has gone to the Holy See, it seems likely that he will never return to the diocese of Varna, but at least for this time he will be the bishop of the diocese of Varna, and it is still Leo's job to keep the ecclesiastical institutions in the diocese of Varna functioning normally. As the original number two person in the diocese of Varna, Morata is undoubtedly the best person to maintain the normal operation of the diocese of Varna during this special period.

There are so few reasons to bring it compared to the many reasons to bring it with him. Even Leo couldn't think of any advantage over the other subordinates he might recruit in the future, except for being by his side for a little longer.

However, Leo eventually decided to take Morata with him. In Leo's opinion, among his two current allies, although Darwin has been with him for the earliest time and has contributed the most so far, as long as the soul slavery contract still plays a role in the body of the Templar, then Darwin may betray him at any time because of Lei Feng's words. Although Viscount Juan's ally is more reliable, his territory is still in Varna after all, and after sending Princess Bella to Ridmar City, Viscount Juan must return to his territory. Therefore, when Leo went to the Holy See, even if Viscount Juan could help anything, it would be beyond the reach of the whip, and it would not be able to quench the thirst of the near.

So Leo also needs a subordinate, one who is not controlled by anyone, and who can be loyal to his subordinates wholeheartedly. Based on Leo's current situation, Morata is undoubtedly the best candidate, even if he was once an unbelievable spy. Leo knew very well in his heart that taking Morata with him was also a risk in a sense, because it was very likely that some of his secrets and intelligence would leak to the Anglo kingdom on the other side of the ocean, but after all the considerations, Leo decided to take the risk.

Although he is only nineteen years old, Leo is very clear about his situation, that is, a chess piece. A chess piece in Lei Feng's hands, a chess piece that may be pronounced out by chess players like the Pope or His Majesty the Emperor at any time. For the chessboard of life, the only way to be declared out is death. Leo doesn't want to die, so Leo must try to increase his strength while trying to cast as many variables as possible on the chessboard he is in, so that he can have more room to play after muddying the water. Morata, who is both an Anglo spy and a deacon of Varna, is the first variable that Leo tries to put on the board.

At this moment, Viscount Juan, who was beside Leo, suddenly spoke: "Lord Bishop, why do you keep your eyes on Morata's carriage, do you fall in love with your delicate subordinate?" Viscount Juan had a very loud voice, which immediately caused many soldiers nearby to shift their eyes to Leo, and the expressions on their faces were quite strange.

"Whew!" Leo couldn't help but take a sip and rolled his eyes angrily: "Your whole family likes men, please don't get involved with me, thank you." ”

"Haha," Viscount Juan laughed heroically, reached out and patted Leo's shoulder hard, almost patting the unsuspecting Leo off the horse, and squeezed Leo's eyes at him, making a rather narrow expression: "Actually, what I know, what you are thinking about is nothing more than the princess Bella in the carriage behind Morata." ”

"Princess Bela?" Leo subconsciously shook his head: "Lord Viscount, I think you misunderstood. In fact, what Leo was thinking just now really had nothing to do with the beautiful girl in the carriage.

"Hey, what's that, men will be tempted when they see beautiful women, it's normal." Viscount Juan approached Leo with an expression of "I'm from here", and suddenly whispered to Leo: "But Lord Bishop, you must listen to my advice, that is, don't provoke this princess Bela." ”

"Huh?" Viscount Juan's sudden change in the way he spoke obviously caught Leo a little off guard, and he was stunned for a moment before replying in a low voice: "Lord Viscount, what do you mean—"

"Your Excellency, you are also a wise man, so why should you play fool with me?" The smile on Viscount Juan's face suddenly retracted, revealing a very serious expression: "Since His Majesty the Emperor has summoned His Royal Highness this princess to the city of Ridmar, then the next step must be to use her identity to plot against the Kingdom of France, this princess is already destined to become His Majesty's marionette, and anyone who provokes her will definitely cause His Majesty's wrath." Although you have the status of a god, and the Church of Light is one of the best super powers, there is no grass at the end of the world, and Princess Bella is beautiful, so it is best for us to stay away from her. ”

"I see." Leo nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly said seriously to Viscount Juan, "Thank you, Lord Viscount." ”

You must know that Viscount Juan, as a nobleman, naturally stands on the side of the imperial family, and now he can say such a thing to Leo, the god of the Holy See, it is obvious that in the Viscount's heart, the covenant between the two is still the same thing.

Viscount Juan smiled, apparently thinking that Leo had accepted his theory: "You are too polite to say this, Lord Bishop. ”

Leo, who was on his horse, turned his head to look at the carriage driven by Morata not far behind, and in the carriage sat the young princess who had lost almost all her relatives. The princess had a pair of lovely and beautiful big green eyes on her face, and Leo had seen clearly how sad these eyes were when he learned the news of the death of his parents that night in Paris City, and Leo could also understand and understand how sad and desperate her heart was, just like when she learned that her parents had left her forever, it was as if the whole sky had suddenly collapsed, and everything in the world lost all color in an instant.

Marionettes? Leo withdrew his gaze from Princess Bela's carriage, and a wry smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Isn't Leo himself a marionette in someone else's hands?

"It's really hard!" Leo let out a long sigh, not knowing whether he was talking about the girl in the carriage or about himself on horseback.
