Chapter 457: Wooing
Julian's arrival surprised Leo a little and made him a little weak-hearted. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
No matter who it is, when he runs to someone else's house to make trouble, but bumps into the master, he will always be a little weak-hearted.
"Can you talk?" Julian's smile was gentle. It must be said that this second prince looks good when he laughs, and he has a sense of approachability.
Just like his uncle, Prime Minister Paul.
Leo nodded silently, but didn't speak, and his brain began to work at full strength, guessing Julian's purpose.
A waiter appeared at the side of the two at the right time, carrying two tall glasses of blue liquor on a plate.
"The name of this wine is Azur Fantasy, and it is a new wine just produced by Bill Winery, the first winery in the mainland, and I only managed to get a few bottles with great difficulty." Julian smiled and handed one of the glasses to Leo, then raised the other.
Leo glanced at the wine glass in front of him, the wine was clear and free of any impurities, and the aroma of wine wafted quietly from the mouth of the glass.
With a crisp symphony, the wine glasses in the hands of the two were separated with a touch in the air.
Leo took a sip gently, he didn't like to drink, and the amount of alcohol was not good, and more importantly, it was a common sense that anyone knew, that is, you should not drink alcohol during the period of recuperation.
The wine slipped from the tip of his tongue, and Leo could feel a delicate warm current flowing down his esophagus, and a burst of heat began to spread around his body, and the warmth was very comfortable.
"Good wine." Leo couldn't help but praise it.
Julian smiled slightly, and casually exchanged a few words with Leo, looking as if two friends were chatting after a long absence.
But Leo wasn't in the mood to talk nonsense to Julian here, after all, Bella was still waiting in the hall, and it was impossible for Leo to do any more sabotage.
Julian apparently noticed the hint of impatience on Leo's face, but the second prince was not angry because of this, because in Julian's opinion, when a person can't hold his breath, it is the easiest time to show flaws.
So Julian felt it was time.
"Leo, I heard that you and Bella have been getting close lately."
Julian's tone was gentle, sounding not hostile, but Leo's heart was subconsciously vigilant.
Why did he mention this?
But Leo nodded anyway and said, "That's right." ”
Now Leo has completely regarded Bella as his woman, so he naturally has no scruples about speaking out.
Leo's tone was a little stiff, because he hadn't forgotten that Julian in front of him was a stumbling block that he had to move away from if he wanted to marry Bella properly, and it was heavy, heavy, and difficult to move.
Julian smiled again, and suddenly said, "You chose to support my sister because of Bela, right?" ”
Charles XVI had many children, but only one of Julian's mothers was the eldest princess, who was a few years older than Julian.
Leo was slightly shocked in his heart, and he couldn't imagine that this Julian could see through this layer.
But surprised to surprised, Leo's face did not change in the slightest, and his tone was quite indifferent: "Second Highness, I'm afraid I misunderstood, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess just prefers to be with Bela, so I have the honor to meet Her Royal Highness the eldest princess a few times." ”
"Really?" Julian's smile began to become a little intriguing: "Your Excellency Leo, we don't talk in secret, do you really think that if I ascend to the throne of emperor, I must marry Bela?" ”
Leo shook his head: "Who you want to marry has nothing to do with me, Your Highness. ”
From a standpoint, Julian is Leo's enemy at the moment, and Leo is certainly not stupid enough to say anything when someone else tempts him.
But if Julian really ascended the throne and planned to marry Bela, Leo would have stopped him no matter what, how could his woman be snatched away by others?
However, Julian did not stop because of this, in the eyes of the second prince, although Leo vigorously denied it, the subtle change in expression on his face had already explained everything.
Leo is genuinely in love with Bela.
So Julian spoke, "Help me, Leo." As long as I ascend to the throne, I will marry Bellash to you. ”
For the first time, Leo's face showed a look of surprise.
"Why?"
Julian laughed, "Because in my opinion, your support is more important. ”
Leo closed his mouth, but a storm stirred up in his heart.
Judging by his tone and expression, it didn't seem like Julian was joking.
Julian continued: "In addition to this, I can also promise to restore the relationship between the royal family and the church to its original friendly status after the succession to the throne. I can do everything that my sister can promise you, as long as you are on my side in this election. ”
Leo took a deep breath and stared at Julian in front of him, "Is my support so important to you?" You don't even know what your sister has promised me. ”
"I don't need to know." Julian shook his head and said, "I just need to let you know that I really want you to be my ally." ”
Leo pondered for a long time, and finally replied.
"I need time to think about it."
"No problem." Julian nodded, "But I hope it's before the Emperor's Election." ”
"That's nature."
When the time came to light, neither Leo's choice nor Julian's waiting made any sense.
Leo stopped talking, turned and walked into the ballroom.
Julian stood still and watched Leo's departing back, raised the glass in his hand and took a sip, then looked at the glass that Leo had put aside, almost untouched, and couldn't help but sigh softly.
"What a waste."
Leo returned to the hall, and Bella was still seated, but the girl was immediately keenly aware that something was wrong.
"Leo, your face doesn't seem to be good, could it be that General Herman he-"
"It's not." Leo denied Bela's speculation, and strangely, the moment he saw Bela, his chaotic mood suddenly began to calm down.
After calming down, Leo quickly came to a conclusion.
Julian's promises were not reliable.
In any case, the eldest princess is a woman, and it is the consensus of the world that a woman cannot marry a woman, and the eldest princess has a natural advantage in this regard, which can be more convincing to Leo.
What's more, the eldest princess has a marriage contract with Viscount Juan, the son of the Marquis of Habs, and is a natural ally of the Marquis of Habs, and the Marquis of Habs is an old friend of Dandrien, and from this point of view, it is more worthy of Leo's trust.
What's more, Leo is just an outsider and doesn't even have any votes in his hands, so why would Julian spend so much effort trying to win over Leo?
You must know that Julian already has the support of Prime Minister Paul, and Leo should not be so important to Julian, at least not worth the price Julian has to pay so much.
You must know that for Julian, Bella is not just a stunning beauty, but represents the claim of the entire kingdom of France!
The more Leo thought about it, the more he felt that this was just a ploy by Julian to drive a wedge between himself and the eldest princess.
So he eventually dismissed the idea of working with Julian.
At this time, a panicked voice suddenly came into the hall: "Come on, your second highness has an accident!" ”
