With the departure of Prime Minister Paul, the surrounding crowd of onlookers also dispersed a lot, but there were still groups of nobles gathered near the door, casting lively eyes at Leo and Roger. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

To be honest, even if Roger ate the gloves, after all, there were still many people around who had just heard Roger challenge Leo, so Leo could force this duel to continue.

But just as Leo was about to attack the unbelievable Roger, a sudden thought prevented Leo from doing so.

Roger looked at Leo who was silent, and his heart kept beating drums, after all, Roger knew very well at this moment that his life and death were completely in Leo's thoughts.

So Roger immediately brought his aristocratic characteristics to the extreme, and put on a very flattering smile and said to Leo: "Your Excellency Leo, in fact, I still have some connections in Ridmar City, many ministers in the court were promoted by my father, and there are also many big noble families who are also friends with our family——"

At this time, Leo suddenly interrupted Roger: "This is not the place to talk, let's change places." ”

Roger immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, knowing that his little life should be able to be saved.

The reason is simple, if Leo really wants to kill him, then he only needs to continue the duel under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Leo wanted to leave Bella where she was and waited for her to return from talking to Roger, but this proposal was strongly opposed by Bella.

Leo thought for a moment, "Maybe it's a good idea to let her see, after all, someone has to lead her to this kind of deceitful thing." So he agreed to Bera's request.

Secluded places are not difficult to find, between the gate of the mansion and the banquet hall is a wide straight road at least two or three hundred meters long, there are many exotic flowers and trees planted on both sides of the straight road, and you can easily isolate the sight of others by walking into a flower bush or a gravel path between the trees.

The three of them walked for a while, and then stopped by a bush where no one was around.

Although he felt that he should not have to worry about his life, Roger was still a little uneasy in his heart, and he didn't know what Leo's purpose was.

But fortunately, Leo didn't let Roger wait too long, and quickly spoke: "Roger, I heard that your family doesn't seem to be peaceful these days. ”

Hearing this, Roger couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face, and said in his heart It's not because you killed my father, so now everyone in the family is fighting for power and profit.

Of course, of course, Roger wouldn't dare to say this in front of Leo, and if he was really so bloody, then he wouldn't have staged such a farce of eating gloves just now.

So Roger said, "Yes, Lord Leo, because of my father's death, there are many people in the family who covet the position of head of the family, and everyone has been very unhappy these days. ”

Roger's answer made the corners of Leo's mouth show a slight smile: "If I guessed correctly, you should be the first heir to the head of the family, why didn't you succeed to the position of the head of the family?" ”

Leo's method of speculation is actually very simple, usually Prime Minister Paul only invites the heads of those families to the banquet at such a banquet, so since Roger is here on behalf of his family, it is obvious that he should be the first in line to the throne.

"Yes." Speaking of this, Roger's face showed an angry expression, and he sneered: "It's a pity that after the death of my father, several of my uncles all wanted to sit in this position, and they tried their best to oppose my succession to the position of head of the family at the internal meeting of the family, which has dragged on until now." ”

Speaking of this, Roger suddenly found that he had unknowingly lost his words and told Leo in front of him the family's secret. But it was obviously impossible to take back what he said, so Roger had to shut his mouth a little embarrassed.

The smile on Leo's face became even stronger, and he suddenly reached out and patted Roger's shoulder, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, the reason why I asked you about this is not because of any malice towards you." On the contrary, if you can cooperate with me, I may be able to make your father's succession to the throne of the head of your family. ”

"What?" Roger raised his head in surprise, and a happy expression immediately appeared on his face: "Lord Leo, what you said is true?" ”

You must know that for Roger today, the most urgent thing is not to avenge his dead father Edgar, but to inherit Edgar's position as the head of the family and firmly hold the power of the family in his hands.

Remembering the deceased can be done at any time, but once the position of the head of the family is lost and you want to get it back, you don't know when, and it is even very likely that you will not be able to get it back in this life.

It is precisely because of this that Roger, who is not as good as several uncles in terms of seniority, connections or power in his hands, has to take a risk and plan the duel against Leo just now, because Roger has been forced to have no way out at all, and he really needs a credit to help him inherit the position of head of the family.

"Of course it's true." Leo nodded affirmatively and said, "Do I need to lie to you?" ”

Roger took a serious look at Leo and saw that Leo really didn't seem to be joking.

You must know that the reason why Roger can't subdue several uncles in his family is because he lacks enough strength, and judging from his performance when he faced Prime Minister Paul just now, the power that Leo has is exactly what Roger urgently needs at this moment!

But the good news was clearly ahead, but Roger seemed to become more hesitant: "Your Excellency Leo, I don't understand, why do you want to help me?" ”

That's the problem, in Roger's opinion, Leo not only didn't have a reason to help himself, but he could find a lot of reasons to kill himself.

Leo glanced at Roger, and couldn't help but feel some praise for Roger in his heart, this person was not only able to change his position immediately after finding that the situation was not good, but also in the face of the temptation of the head of the family, he was not without surprise, he was indeed a talent.

So Leo felt that it was time to say his purpose: "You must have heard about the Elector in two days, right?" ”

Roger nodded, "This is the number one event in Ridmar City and even the entire empire right now, how could I not have heard of it?" To tell you the truth, there are actually some people in our family who were able to exercise their right to vote on the day of the election - wait, I see! ”

Roger, who finally came to his senses, looked at Leo with blazing eyes: "What Lord Leo wants from me, is it these voting rights?" ”

"You're smart, Roger." Leo smiled: "That's right, as long as you promise to put all the voting rights you can hold at my disposal after becoming the head of the family, then I will fully support you to become the head of the family, how about it?" ”

Leo's idea is actually very simple, you must know that Edgar has controlled the government for a long time after all, and from a normal point of view, Edgar will undoubtedly install a large number of henchmen and cronies in the court.

These people may defect to other factions or remain neutral after Edgar's death, but there is no doubt that there will always be a part of them who are still loyal, and all Leo wants is the voting rights of this part of the faithful!

Roger didn't hesitate for long, and the reason is very simple, using these voting rights in exchange for the position of head of the family is actually not a loss-making business.

And you must know that these voting rights can only be controlled after Roger becomes the head of the family, so as long as Roger agrees, Leo will definitely spare no effort to push Roger to the position of head of the family.

So Roger quickly raised his head and said loudly: "Lord Leo, I agree to this deal of yours!" ”

Leo laughed, stretched out his right hand, and swore by high-five Roger in the air.

"In that case, then I will bring someone to visit your mansion tomorrow, what do you think, Your Excellency Roger?"

Roger was naturally afraid of long nights and dreams, so he hurriedly nodded when he heard this: "That's naturally the best, Your Excellency Leo." ”

"Very good." Leo smiled, "In that case, then I wish you a pleasant evening, Lord Roger." ”

With that, Leo ignored Roger and walked with Bella towards the brightly lit banquet hall not far away.

You must know that Leo is very busy today, and there is a banquet waiting for him to stir up yellow!
