Chapter 447: Meeting
When Leo and his entourage returned to the State Guesthouse, the Marquis of Habs, who had received the news, and the eldest princess also arrived one after another. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Marquis Habs was the first to arrive, and the look on his face did not look too happy, as if he had encountered some difficulty.
Especially when he saw Daisy, who was dressed so violently, his face was slightly stunned, showing an expression of displeasure.
It is clear that the Marquis of Habs was more inclined to tradition when it came to dressing.
Leo naturally played the role of introducer: "Come, let me introduce you, this is Daisy from the Inquisition, this is the Marquis of Habs. ”
"Inquisition?" The Marquis of Habs's eyebrows raised slightly, obviously stunned for a moment, and then a smile suddenly appeared on his originally serious face: "It's the kid Cheetos." ”
There are probably only two people in the world who dare to call Cheeto, the church magnate who runs the Inquisition, "child", one is Cheeto's living mother, and the other is, of course, the Marquis of Habs, because he is Cheeto's own uncle.
Daisy very respectfully performed the etiquette of a junior meeting an elder: "Daisy has seen the Marquis. ”
"You're Daisy?" The smile on the face of the Marquis of Habs became even stronger, and he reached out to help Daisy up, and said very kindly: "I heard that kid Chitos said in the letter about you, come on, come on, don't stand, sit down." ”
After the Marquis of Habs finished speaking, he took Daisy to sit down, and began to ask about Daisy's age, family, preferences, and other things that were missing from the family.
What's even more strange is that Daisy, who has always behaved down-and-out generously, has obviously become subtle at this moment, and even shows a hint of shyness from time to time, which surprises Leo and Bella on the side.
"What's going on?" Bera asked softly as she poked Leo in the arm.
"I don't know." Leo's eyes kept sweeping over the bodies of the Marquis of Habs and Daisy, could it be that the Marquis of Habs actually had an old tree blooming new flowers, and this Daisy was the king of the eight looking at mung beans - eye to eye?
That doesn't make sense, if the Marquis of Habs really liked Daisy's type, he wouldn't have shown that obvious disgust at first, and it was obvious that he had become affectionate all of a sudden after hearing the name.
"That's not right!" Leo shook his head vigorously, because he didn't see anything **** or anything like that in the eyes of the Marquis of Habs, it was exactly the eyes of an elder looking at a junior, no, no, no, this kind of look should be-the eyes of a father-in-law looking at his daughter-in-law?
"I see!" Leo suddenly realized, and hurriedly whispered to Bela: "This is Lord Cheedo who has sent his wife who has not yet married home, so that the uncle of the Marquis of Habs and Sister Daisy can meet each other!" ”
Bella, who was drinking water, choked on it and almost sprayed a mouthful of water on Leo's body.
But upon closer inspection, even Bela had to admit that what Leo was talking about seemed to be exactly what it was.
If it weren't for the marriage family, why would the Marquis of Habs have nothing to do when he is full of food and ask other people about the girl's origin, parents, brothers and sisters?
And looking at Daisy's appearance, it seems that -- she kind of likes it?
Just when Bella couldn't turn around, Leo suddenly smiled and said in Bella's ear: "At that time, I thought that this Daisy's sister had a leg with Master Cheeto, and now it seems that my eyes are really sharp." ”
Bella was stunned for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully, the expression on her little face immediately relaxed, and then let go of the hand holding Leo's arm, and by the way, she lifted the stiletto shoes she was wearing on her feet, and slammed them at Leo's feet.
Leo gasped, his whole face turned red all of a sudden, and he wanted to exhale in pain, but because of the presence of the Marquis of Habs and Daisy in front of him, he could only forcibly endure it, and it took a long time to ease up, and he said to Bella very helplessly: "My good princess, what's wrong with you?" ”
Bella, who had lost her "rival in love", glanced at Leo and said coquettishly: "You have taken advantage of enough today, this is a lesson for you, pervert!" ”
Leo opened his mouth wide, and said in his heart, "You didn't take the initiative to send it to the door, why did you become a pervert again now?"
"What a strange thing, woman." Leo shook his head.
It was at this time that the eldest princess arrived.
Whether it was Daisy and the Marquis of Habs, who were staging a show of their daughter-in-law meeting their father-in-law, or Leo and Bella, a living couple, everything had returned to normal when Her Royal Highness the eldest princess walked into the living room.
But this delicate atmosphere still attracted the attention of the eldest princess, and the shrewd and capable strong woman frowned slightly and said, "Is there any bad news coming?" ”
Leo laughed and said, "No, the reason why I invited Your Royal Highness the princess here is because the reinforcements of the church and the Bishop Jeffrey have already arrived, and this is one of the reinforcements, Daisy from the Inquisition." ”
After some introduction, the Marquis of Habs and the eldest princess also understood the current situation, and the expressions on their faces couldn't help but relax a lot, obviously they were also quite satisfied with such a force.
"By the way, there is one thing I want to tell you," said the eldest princess, "and my most beloved brother, Julian, has just visited me and invited me to a banquet to-night. ”
"Banquet?" The Marquis of Habs and Leo looked at each other and frowned in unison.
"Yes," the eldest princess nodded, "I heard him say that this banquet will be attended by many heavyweights of the empire, maybe this is a good opportunity." ”
"That's right." The Marquis of Habs pondered for a while, and agreed with the eldest princess's opinion: "Maybe we can take the opportunity of this banquet to win some support. ”
"Wait." Leo couldn't help but interject: "Didn't His Royal Highness the Second Prince find out that His Royal Highness the eldest princess was also one of his competitors?" ”
The eldest princess shook her head and sighed: "The number of votes we can get so far is actually not enough to pose a threat to my younger brother, so it is normal for him to woo me." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent.
The eldest princess is not wrong in saying this, because the overseas colonies are not valued in the empire itself, so the eldest princess herself has no foundation in the imperial court.
And her two allies, the Marquis of Habs, although he is the Minister of Justice, only have a small percentage of the votes, and Leo, a foreign aid from the Church, can bring good military support to the eldest princess, but he does not help in the votes, after all, the Church has been at war with the Empire for thirty years.
At this moment, Morata suddenly walked up, still holding a few very delicate invitations in his hands: "My lord, these are sent by His Royal Highness the Second Prince, saying that they are inviting you, Princess Bella and the Marquis to attend the banquet in the evening. ”
Leo was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly laughed: "It's interesting, I actually sent all the invitations from the Marquis, it seems that this Second Highness is actually very concerned about our actions." ”
"In that case, let's also go and see what tricks this clever Second Prince wants to do today."
