The news of the duel between Leo and Emmanuel spread throughout the city of Ridmar almost instantly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Charles XVI, who had just finished the court meeting, only asked one sentence after hearing the news from the court governor: "Are you dead?" Then he continued to bow his head and correct the recital.

But in the afternoon, an edict from His Majesty the Emperor revealed the wrath of the Imperial Supreme. In the edict, not only did he reprimand Emmanuel in a very unkind tone, but also suspended all the duties of the eldest prince, and at the same time issued a ban on Emmanuel.

Although Emmanuel, who was seriously injured at the moment, could not go out at all, His Majesty the Emperor's rare stern attitude still made the entire imperial high-level frightened, and even the hearts of many people who originally supported Emmanuel began to become a little shaken.

Emmanuel's biggest rival for the throne, the second prince Julian, became the beneficiary, and the fisherman Julian not only suffered a heavy blow to Emmanuel's prestige without any representation, but also succeeded in bringing the Marquis of Habs and the Blood Wolf family, who had been neutral before, to his side, which was quite fruitful.

At the same time, Julian, who was known for his scheming, took advantage of the turmoil on the Emmanuel front to weaken and attack Emanuel's power with many means, reversing the situation in which Emanuel had a slight advantage in one fell swoop, and making the result of the battle for the throne, which had begun to enter the white-hot heat, even more confusing.

In addition, on the other side of the duel, Leo, the young Church's new generation god, has also officially entered the sight of the high-ranking leaders of the major empires.

If the previous miracle was just a sign that people had just noticed the name Leo, then it was only after the nineteen-year-old boy defeated the sixth-rank samurai Emmanuel who was a full ten years older than him in one fell swoop, that people suddenly noticed that the young man's talent was so outstanding that it was enough to be called a genius.

If we take into account the support of Bishop Gavin's faction in the church and the status of the president of the inquisition, Leo at this moment can be said to represent a force that no one can underestimate.

Although this duel greatly changed the political ecology of Ridmar City and the entire Spani Empire to some extent, Leo, one of the protagonists of the incident, was very lazy lying on the sofa at this moment, playing with the sword captured from Emmanuel in his hand, while chatting with Morata, who was pinching his shoulder and beating his back behind him.

This time, Leo stayed at the Temple of Divine Grace, and in fact Leo and the Church's delegation would stay here until the Emperor's celebration was over. But fortunately, because Leo is the supreme head of the mission this time, he naturally obtained the most spacious and luxurious and comfortable room assigned to Bishop Gavin last time, which can be regarded as a small satisfaction of Leo's vanity.

It's been two full days since the duel, but Morata still looks very interested when he talks about the duel: "My lord, don't you know, you made a big show for our Holy Sect in that duel." I heard from the cook of the Grace Courtyard that if he went out to buy vegetables in the past two days, as long as he reported that he was cooking for the Grace Courtyard and you, the vegetable seller would have to give him some discounts to appease him! ”

Leo couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he heard this, although he knew very well in his heart that Morata was deliberately touting himself, but as the so-called thousands of sycophants are not worn, although Moralata's sycophants are quite ordinary and even a little clumsy, but they still feel inexplicably comfortable in Leo's ears.

Morata saw that Leo was intoxicated with his own sycophancy, so he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and said, "But there is something that my subordinates don't understand, why did you let Emmanuel go so much at that time?" In the eyes of his subordinates, even if he wants to spare his life, at least he has to remove a leg or a hand or something, otherwise it will be another hidden danger when he is fully recovered. ”

As a member of the Church, Morata clearly lacks respect for the noble royals, as evidenced by the fact that he calls Emmanuel by his first name.

"You don't understand." Leo shook his head and said, "If I really want to cut off his hands or feet, then I might as well kill him." ”

In Leo's opinion, whether it is cutting off his hands or feet, Emmanuel, whose limbs are no longer sound, has become a cripple in the eyes of others. No one would support a cripple ascending to the throne, so that would only result in Julian being put on the throne, and the crippled Emmanuel would hate Leo for killing Leo to the bone.

So in that case, it's really better to kill Emmanuel with one sword, at least one less enemy, right?

Leo didn't say it, and Morata didn't seem to think of it. But the slick subordinates would not insist on their own opinions after the leader denied them, so Morata immediately changed the subject.

"I didn't expect that after only a month of not seeing each other, Princess Bella had already stood on Emmanuel's side. Don't you know, sir, there are many rumors outside that you were fascinated by the princess's beauty and let Emmanuel go. ”

"Fascinated by beauty?" Leo couldn't help but shake his head again, although Princess Beola's beauty really made Leo's heart move, and it can even be said that any normal man would be moved by the peerless appearance of the teenage princess, but what really moved Leo was not her appearance, but the seemingly ordinary sentence that made Leo unforgettable.

I believe you.

It is precisely because of this sentence that Leo only asked Princess Bella two days ago, and he was convinced that Princess Bella opened her mouth to intercede for Emmanuel may indeed be at the behest of the mysterious powerhouse, Lord Lei Feng, but she is actually not Lei Feng's pawn.

Although everything that Lord Lei Feng has done so far does not seem to be harmful to Leo, but for some reason, Leo always has a strong wariness of this mysterious powerhouse in his heart.

Leo shook his head self-deprecatingly, perhaps this was the meaning of the chess piece's instinctive rebellion against the chess player.

Leo is not a pawn, but a man. No normal person wants to be manipulated like a marionette in the hands of someone else. But if you think about it, since Leo saw this Thunderpeak in the Lito Mountains, it seems that all things related to Leo are no longer under Leo's own control.

This is obviously a very bad feeling, at least for Leo.

Is there anything that can be done to change the situation? Leo closed his eyes and thought as he enjoyed Morata's massage.

After a long time, Leo finally opened his eyes again: "Morata, I remember you told me that you were an agent of the Anglo Kingdom in Varna before?" ”

Morata was slightly stunned, but quickly nodded and replied, "That's right, my lord." As if afraid that Leo would pursue the matter, Morata hurriedly added: "But I swear to you that I have never contacted them since I followed you. ”

Leo smiled slightly, and his tone was very gentle: "You don't have to be nervous, I don't want to blame you when I talk about this, but I want you to do something for me." ”

Morata saw that this was an opportunity to perform, and hurriedly responded: "Don't worry, my lord, as long as it is what you order, I will do my best!" ”

"Good." Leo nodded, and said to Morata, "I want you to find a way to contact the head of the Anglo Kingdom's agents stationed here in the city of Delmar, and say that I want to meet him." ”
