Chapter 493: Cruelty is the greatest mercy

With the sound of hurried footsteps, the beautiful girl broke into the restaurant like the wind, and then showed a surprised expression, pointing at Leo with her finger for a long time speechless: "You-"

"Hi, dear Bella. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Leo smiled and raised the leg of mutton in his hand, which had been gnawed to the bone: "Have you eaten, if you haven't eaten, let's eat together." ”

"You big liar!"

A dinner plate was thrown out of Bella's hand and flew towards Leo with unmistakable accuracy, Leo was shocked, and the whole person pounced on a fierce dog next to him, just in time to avoid the angry blow of his sweetheart.

The plate slammed into the wall and shattered with a crackle.

"Bela, don't slap your face if you want to get angry, don't you know that I rely on this to eat?" Leo got up from the carpet with a grin, threw aside the leg of mutton in his hand, stretched out his greasy hand and hugged the girl in front of him.

Bella was even more angry when she saw Leo's casual appearance, and suddenly roared: "You stop me!" ”

Leo immediately froze like a sculpture.

If you hadn't heard it with your own ears, you wouldn't have been able to imagine how Bella's petite body could erupt with such a deafening and imposing roar, and Leo even thought that the roar of the Emperor or the Pope might be nothing more than that.

Bella took out a letter from her bosom and angrily looked at Leo: "What's going on with this letter!?" If you don't explain it clearly, you're going to die today! ”

"Uh, this-" Leo smiled awkwardly, and reached out to hold Bela, "You dissipate your anger, come on, let's sit down and talk slowly, talk slowly-"

"Talk about your size slowly!" Bella shook off Leo's hand: "Greasy, disgusting, say it!" ”

Leo smiled, wiped the cloth on the dining table next to him, and then ignored Bela's fierce eye roll, and pulled the girl to the seat and sat down, "I suspect that someone may want to assassinate you tonight." ”

"What?" Bella was shocked when she heard this, "But what you said in this letter is notβ€”"

Leo took the letter from Bella's hand and smiled, "It's just a small trick I used - don't forget that we just had a fight, if I hadn't said in the letter that I had been assassinated, would you have arrived here so quickly?" ”

Bella snorted, not knowing whether to be angry at this guy for cheating on herself, or happy that she cared about her, so she simply turned her face away and stopped talking to Leo.

But the girl soon defeated her curiosity again, turned to Leo and asked, "You said someone was going to assassinate me, who is that?" ”

Leo shook his head and said, "I don't know. ”

Bella's eyes widened, and she looked like she was about to get angry again, "Then how do you know that someone is going to assassinate me?" ”

Leo smiled: "Actually, it's not just you, but even the Marquis of Habs, the eldest princess, and I are the same. Tonight, everyone involved in tomorrow's Elector could be the target of assassination. ”

Bella was stunned, "What do you meanβ€”"

"I mean it very simply." Leo said: "If any prince dies tonight, won't the other candidates for the throne have one less competitor at tomorrow's emperor election meeting?" And the targets of the assassination don't have to be the candidates, but also the supporters who are important to the candidates, so tonight is sure to be lively. ”

Bella fluttered her long eyelashes, thinking for a long time to figure out what was going on, and it was clear that the sometimes clever and sometimes confused girl was in a daze again: "You mean, the killer who was sent out to kill me tonight is likely to be from one of those heirs?" ”

Leo nodded: "It's also possible that there are many of them." ”

Bella sighed softly, "I don't understand, why do they have to use such methods?" Isn't it possible to compete fairly with the harmony? ”

"That can't happen, dear Bella." Leo felt the need to break his sweetheart's unrealistic illusions: "With the story of Charles XVI and the distrust of these heirs, I don't think this kind of thing can end peacefully." ”

"Then if you know this, why don't you stop them?" Bella asked.

"Block?" Leo couldn't help but laugh: "Why should I stop it?" Not only will I not do that, but I'm telling you, the killers I sent out are already on their way. ”

"Huh?" Bela obviously didn't expect Leo to give herself such an answer, and the whole person looked stunned: "Why are you doing this?" ”

Leo will look at Bela with a blank face and look at Bella seriously: "Tell me, Bella, do you want revenge?" ”

Bella nodded, "Of course I do, but what do these things have to do with my hatred?" ”

Leo Zhengse said: "Of course there is a relationship, and it has a lot to do with it. We don't have any power in our hands now, so we must rely on the power of the Spane Empire, the first power on the continent, to take revenge, and the eldest princess is the next emperor who is most likely to send troops to avenge you. Everything I did tonight was for the eldest princess to ascend to the throne at tomorrow's Electoral. ”

Bella seemed to waver, but the girl clearly wanted to make another effort: "But do we have to pay so much with our lives?" There is a good chance that many innocent people will die at the hands of the Assassins tonight. ”

Leo shook his head: "No innocent people will die tonight, the struggle for power is cruel and bloody, there is no hand in hand for common prosperity only you live and die, since these people are involved in this game of thrones, they should have the consciousness to die because of it - you and I are the same." ”

"Dear Bela, you will become the queen of the Kingdom of France, whose thousands of people will sometimes be at stake. So remember, sometimes cruelty is the greatest kindness. ”

"Cruelty is the greatest kindness?" Bella looked at Leo suspiciously, with an ignorant expression on her little face: "What does this mean?" ”

Leo laughs, "Because there's never a perfect option in this world, and sometimes you have to sacrifice a small number of people to make a good life for the majority." ”

"Like tonight's countless assassinations and tomorrow's Electoral, although these battles are cruel and merciless, as long as the disputes are confined to a small range, then the number of dead people will be limited after all."

"But if we can't solve the problem, then once the fighting spreads, the entire Spanny Empire will be plunged into civil war, countless people will be displaced, and even the entire continent will be plunged into another round of war."

"So," Leo said in a tone of great affirmation, looking at his sweetheart in front of him, "there are some damned people, let them die quickly." Once the eldest princess becomes the empress, all these disputes will quickly subside. ”

Bella was finally completely convinced.

The sun by the window had completely set over the horizon, and night had arrived.

Soon, a piece of news quickly spread in everyone's ears.

The first victim in this assassination has been revealed.
