Chapter 514: Leo's Negligence
Ridmar City, State Guesthouse. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Leo's uneasiness grew stronger.
"Bella, really, I really think something is about to happen."
"Smack!" A crisp voice rang out in the room.
Then came Bella's embarrassed and angry voice: "That's not why you touched my thighs again!" β
"Huh?" Leo retracted his hand and laughed: "I'm sorry, but it feels so good, it's a little-hey?" Don't, don't slap your face, don't slap your face! β
After a while, Leo managed to calm down the toothy and clawed Bela, and then sat down in his chair and pondered.
He felt that he must have missed something, and it was something very important enough to affect the whole situation, but he couldn't think of anything about it, what it was.
"It's man-made, so I should have missed someone." Leo unconsciously tapped the arm of the chair with one hand and muttered, "Who the hell is it?" β
Leo simply brought a pen and paper and wrote down the names of each person on a piece of paper.
"Prime Minister Paul, Second Prince, Emmanuel, General Hermann, Roger Β·Β·" One name after another appears in Leo's pen, all about important figures in the Electoral.
The paper was quickly filled, and later Leo even wrote the names of Morata and the Third Adjudicator.
Bella tilted her head over very curiously, and after looking at it for a while, she suddenly said, "Why is there no name on it that Lord Duke Li'an?" β
Leo was stunned for a moment, and then slapped his thigh: "yes, how can I forget him?" β
On the paper in front of Leo, there was indeed no name of Duke Lean.
Leo immediately called Daisy, who was in charge of collecting and summarizing information: "Sister Daisy, do we have any information about Duke Lean and the Golden Lion Family tonight?" β
Daisy thought seriously for a while: "My lord, there is no one. β
Leo took a deep breath, a chill running from the soles of his feet to his heart.
He finally understood why he was stupid enough to ignore Duke Lean.
On this night, when hundreds of nobles, officials, generals, and ministers had already lost their lives, Duke Lion and his Golden Lion family were not involved in a single incident!
This family, which was the first noble family of the Spany Empire not long ago, chose to lie dormant and defend at this best moment when it should have been to show its strength, fight and destroy the enemy?
That's impossible!
What's more, in today's imperial political arena, it is the Wenchen led by Prime Minister Paul who is the most in the limelight, and the candidate proposed by the second prince is also the candidate with the best chance of ascending to the throne in tomorrow's imperial election.
And everyone knows that as the emperor's ** minister, Duke Li'an has always been the banner of the military generals!
Military generals and civil servants have always been very different in terms of political views, and they belong to the kind where one side gains power and the other side is absolutely very sad.
In such a situation, unless the Duke chooses to surrender to the side of the Second Prince and Prime Minister Paul, he should do something anyway.
The more Leo thought about it, the more frightened he became, there was no doubt that Duke Lean's silence was not accidental.
Don't forget that this Duke is a famous general who has fought on the battlefield for many years and won every battle, and he can definitely make no one notice if he is unprepared or not.
What's more, now that the entire city of Ridmar has been in a mess, and the attention of all the forces is on the assassination incident after assassination, if Duke Leanne takes advantage of this time to quietly do something-
Thinking of this, Leo no longer hesitated, and wrote several secret letters, and then took out Michael's scepter, and handed the artifact and several letters into Daisy's hands.
"Sister Daisy, you immediately take these things to the Golden Lion Family Mansion, go to the main entrance, and let everyone notice your arrival. Then you say that I have a very important letter to the Duke of Leanne, and that you must hand it into the hands of the Duke yourself, understand? β
Daisy hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, at such a sensitive time, I'm afraid it is impossible for Duke Li'an to agree to meet me." β
Daisy was right, after all, the city was full of Assassins and assassinations, and at such a time, any head of the house would be very cautious when choosing to meet an envoy who was not an ally of his own, who knew if it would be an assassin in disguise?
But Leo had clearly figured out what to do: "If they are rejected, then show them Michael's scepter and say that the letter has something to do with the oracle!" β
"Oracle?" Daisy and Bela on the side shook at the same time, and they both looked at Leo in surprise.
The two women had been by Leo's side almost all the time for days, and they hadn't noticed when Leo had communicated with the gods.
Leo didn't explain the two girls' doubts: "Anyway, that's all you need to say." Also, the other two letters are addressed to the Marquis of Habs and the eldest princess, and if Sister Daisy meets Duke Leanne and hands over the letters, then the other two letters should not be sent any longer, and you can just come back here. β
"But if you can't see Duke Leanne even when you take out Michael's scepter, then please make sure you deliver the other two letters to the Marquis of Habs and the eldest princess as quickly as possible, understand?"
Daisy glanced at Leo, who had become serious as she spoke, seemed to understand something, nodded to Leo, and then left the room quickly.
Bella also seemed to understand something, and looked at Leo with a pair of big eyes: "You mean, Lord Lean, what plan might he be preparing in secret?" β
Leo turned his head, and his original serious expression suddenly disappeared, and he became a hippie smile again: "I'll tell you if you kiss meβouch, don't, don't, it hurts!" β
Bella withdrew the hand that had just pinched the soft flesh on Leo's waist, and the whole person was like an angry kitten, and said viciously: "Then don't say it quickly!" β
"Okay, okay." Leo glanced at the girl in front of him helplessly, and suddenly found that Bela was so cute even when she was angry.
"Damn, they all say that there is something in the eyes of the lover, it seems that I am really hopeless."
Leo shook his head and began to explain patiently: "Actually, my purpose is very simple, I just want to see if Duke Lion is still in the mansion of the Golden Lion Family. β
"If Lord Duke is still in the mansion, then tonight he and the Golden Lion Family should be doing their best to protect themselves, and there will be no action; But if the Duke is not in the palace, then he must be preparing some kind of grand conspiracy - and it is very likely that it has already been carried out! β
"That's not right." Bella thought for a moment and said, "Even if there is any conspiracy, Duke Li'an can sit in the mansion, and there is no need to go out in person." β
Leo laughed, "Other conspiracies may not, but don't forget what the chaos in Ridmar City is for tonight?" That's the future throne of the Empire! β
"After Cleverley's assassination of the emperor, the meaning and foundation of the existence of the entire Golden Lion Family have actually been greatly attacked and shaken, at this time, as the head of the Golden Lion Family, it is impossible for Duke Li'an to be indifferent, and he will definitely take the initiative to take some measures!"
"In such a matter related to the future fortunes of the empire and the fate of the Golden Lion Family, could Duke Li'an be relieved to entrust this matter to others? So he must, and will, go out in person! β
As he spoke, Leo couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that the city that is going to set off a bloody storm tonight may not be the only one in the Holy See." β
