?? Reims City, Wind Chime Garden.

As the economic center of the central Kingdom of France, the city of Reims has two world-famous titles, one is the "fashion capital" and the other is the "perfume capital".

Night had fully fallen, the last of the twilight heat had faded with the setting sun, and the Wind Chimes Manor, the largest private estate in Random City, was bustling with people, the faint scent of flowers and perfumes wafting through the air, the laughter of the ladies and, of course, the indispensable noble gentlemen who surrounded them.

But today, even the gentleman in Random City, who was best at laughing with the ladies, was somewhat distracted when he spoke to his old lovers.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the two young couples in the center of the garden, because everyone knew that they were the protagonists of the night.

The two young couples were, of course, Pope Leo and Princess Bela, as well as Empress Teresa I and Viscount Juan.

The four of them were accompanied by eight important ministers of the Kingdom of France, each of whom had a prominent family background and belonged to the top of the list of those whom the Inquisition had given to Leo.

It is no exaggeration to say that whoever brings these dukes and marquis over will be able to firmly control the entire Kingdom of France after the war.

After a nourishing and intriguing pleasantries, it was natural for the people to split into two different circles, one around Leo and Bella, and the other around Teresa I and Viscount Juan, and the distance between the two circles gradually widened.

In terms of numbers, it is clear that there were more Françaine nobles around Theresa I.

Today's Bella was dressed in full costume with a smile on her pretty face, and took the initiative to introduce Leo: "This is the Duke of Petain, this is the Marquis of Vatu, and this is the Marquis of Molov, they were very good to me when I was a child, and often brought me candy to eat." ”

Bella's last joke made the three François nobles smile in unison, and the Duke of Petain said: "I remember that when the old minister first met the queen, you were still a lovely girl in swaddling clothes, but I didn't expect you to be so old in the blink of an eye." ”

"Yes, yes," said another Marquis of Vatu, who had a mustache, touching his beard and smiling, "I still remember that the queen was very fond of pulling the beard of the courtiers when she was a child, so that every time the minister entered the palace and passed by the queen, she was afraid that the queen would suddenly jump out of the palace." ”

Everyone burst into laughter, and the atmosphere became much more intimate, and the original feeling of being alive quickly dissipated.

Leo knew it was time for him to speak, so he smiled and said, "Speaking of which, the three of them can be regarded as Bella's uncles and uncles, and after a while when Bella takes the throne, I will have to ask the three of them to guide Bella with a lot of guidance." ”

"How dare you," said the Duke of Petain, who was already in the wind and frost of his temples, "We are vassals, so naturally we must put the kingdom first in everything and take the queen's will as the highest criterion. ”

The two marquis on the side echoed each other and expressed their loyalty to Bella by the way, and the atmosphere of the chat became more and more pleasant.

With the gradual formation of two distinct camps, the nobles and noblewomen who acted as green leaves on the side also began to discuss quietly.

"Which one do you like more, Lord Earl?"

"Needless to say, of course it's Her Majesty Queen Teresa, although Princess Bella has been confirmed to be the queen, but after all, she is too young, I'm afraid she is not Her Majesty's opponent."

"But our Queen Bella has the backing of Pope Leo, her fiancé, and you don't want the Kingdom of France to be controlled by the Spanny Empire."

"Well, now that our Kingdom of France is sandwiched between two empires and the Church, do you think that you will be able to stand alone as before? Whether it is the Spany Empire or the Church of Light, in the future, this Kingdom of France, I am afraid that it will not be the Bonaparte family that has the final say. Let's face the reality and concentrate on getting ready to serve our new master! ”

As the so-called tree fell and scattered, now that the big tree of the Kingdom of Franz has been hit and crumbling, it is obvious that many nobles have been a little frightened and began to want to change to another big tree to hug.

The nobles here have their own thoughts, and Leo's wooing over there continues, and the Duke of Petain and the other three seem to have made up their minds to take refuge in Leo and Bella, and the affection in their words cannot be concealed.

While chatting, the Duke of Pétain suddenly said to Bella, "Does the Queen remember that old fellow of Rollo?" ”

"Rollo?" Bella was visibly flustered for a moment, and after thinking for a while, it dawned on her: "You're talking about the Grand Duke of Normandy!" Of course I remember the Duke, and the big wooden horse he gave me was the most attentive toy I ever received. ”

The Duke of Pétain smiled and said, "You may not know that the Trojan horse was carved by that old fellow of Rollo for three months, just to give it to you on your birthday." The old guy asked the old minister to bring you a message today, saying that he was cooperating with the coalition forces in the attack on Tuk City, so he could not come to greet the queen in person. But he also reassures the Queen that the Duchy of Normandy will always be a loyal servant of the House of Bonaparte. ”

Bella nodded and sighed softly: "I also know that Grand Duke Luo has always been loyal, but it's a pity that there are fewer and fewer such loyal ministers now." ”

Bella said, but her eyes glanced at the François nobles who were not far away who were surrounding Teresa I with great hospitality, and the dissatisfaction was quite obvious.

Leo shook his head slightly, and said in his heart that Bera was still young after all, you must know that although many nobles were surrounded there, it was obviously impossible for them to all be desperate to join the Spanny Empire, and some people would still be able to fight it back.

If Bela's obvious dissatisfaction was to get out, wouldn't it force people to Teresa I's side?

Just when Leo wanted to say something to make a round, Marquis Molov, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"The Queen is right," said the Marquis of Molov, "and now that the rebels and thieves are in charge, I hope that His Majesty the Pope and the Queen will pay more attention to safety." ”

Leo was stunned again when he heard this, thinking that this Marquis Morof Moroff was too unable to speak, and when he was about to get angry, Leo suddenly noticed that Marquis Molov kept blinking at him, with an anxious look in his eyes.

Leo was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly reacted: "It's not good, it's not that this Marquis Molov can't speak, he's hinting that we are in danger here!" ”

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion on Teresa I's side, and a roar of mixed anger suddenly sounded, it was the voice of Teresa I's fiancé, Viscount Juan: "There are assassins!!" ”

It was at this moment that the Duke of Petain and the Marquis of Vatu took out a short sword with a cold light from their arms at the same time, and stabbed at Leo and Bela without hesitation.
