Chapter 706: Maybe It's Just Because I'm Bored
"Clever?" Duke Habs smiled, "Perhaps, after all, you are used to seeing many intrigues in officialdom, and sometimes you have to have an extra eye, dear Lord Dandrien." If you haven't had an experience like mine, it may not be easy to understand. β
Dandrion snorted, "I'm not interested in your mental journey, play chess." β
"Wait," said the Duke of Habs, "and before that I have one more question. β
Dandrien's outstretched hand to the chessboard stopped, and an impatient expression appeared on his face: "If you have something to say, say it quickly." β
Duke Habs did not have any change in expression because of Dandrien's impatience, but still smiled and said unhurriedly: "What I want to know is, have you told Leo about the fact that Bishop Nelson is actually your person?" β
Dandrion snorted and said, "Of course not, if this kid can't even fight Nelson, then what kind of pope is he still in?" β
Duke Habs smiled silently, but in his heart he knew that Dandrion was somewhat duplicitous, since Leo seemed to have been appointed by Dandrion at the moment, then even if Bishop Nelson was still alive, the cardinal was obviously doomed to be unable to win the final victory.
Even if you think about it a little deeper, Bishop Nelson is likely to be the bait that Dandrion uses to trap all those who oppose Leo, and once these opponents of Leo are fully gathered, then they can be wiped out in one fell swoop as long as Leo officially takes the throne.
So Duke Habs smiled and stretched out his hand to the pieces on the chessboard: "You are the first to make the first move in this game, Lord Dandrien." β
-----------------------
Tribunal Headquarters, 2nd Floor Living Room.
In fact, strictly speaking, there is no such room as a living room in the headquarters of the court, after all, it is basically impossible for a department like the court to be a guest, and this so-called living room is still temporarily renovated from a restaurant on the second floor at the strong request of Leo.
Leo sat in the Taishi chair in the living room, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then put it back in its place with a frown. In all fairness, this cup of freshly baked hot tea has a faint fragrance, and it also has a refreshing feeling when drinking, which should be considered among the best teas, but Leo is always quite uninterested in the unique astringency of tea.
"I don't know why Lord Dandrion likes to drink such strange things so much." Leo sighed softly, and then looked up at the two brothers Cheeto and Viscount Juan in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little headache in his heart.
According to Leo's inner thoughts, he should have gone back to the room with Bella after dinner, and then the two of them had a happy mandarin duck bath, and then the two of them could do some indescribable shame together, but he was called back to the living room by Cheetos before he even stepped into Bella's boudoir.
So Leo's mood is actually quite unhappy now: "Damn, you said that when you are a light bulb, you should be a light bulb, what is the matter when a light bulb is between two men?" β
Of course, Cheeto would not call Leo for no reason, in fact, the atmosphere in the living room was quite awkward at the moment, Leo was sitting here and the old god was drinking tea, while Cheeto and Viscount Juan were chatting with each other.
However, Leo was relieved when he thought about it, after all, his cousins, who had not seen each other for thirty years since he was born, had a hard time talking about something in common and talking quickly in a short period of time.
Especially Cheeto is still such a sullen character, and Viscount Juan happens to be similar to his cousin in this regard, and he also belongs to the kind of guy who is very familiar with acquaintances, but very angry with people, and it is full of embarrassment for such two people to forcibly talk.
So it is necessary for an intermediary like Leo, who is very familiar with both sides, to come out and spice up the atmosphere, which is why Cheeto has been quietly eyeing Leo.
Leo reached out and took a grape from the fruit bowl next to him and threw it into his mouth, smacking his mouth a few times, before Cheedo was about to go berserk: "Ahem, that Viscount Juan, speaking of which, I want to congratulate you, I heard that you are about to marry Her Majesty the Empress and become the Prince of the Empire, and I will ask you to take care of it when the time comes." β
Viscount Juan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, opened his mouth and stopped, and finally all turned into a wordless wry smile: "Don't mention it... I really don't want to be here, Your Royal Highness. β
"Yo," Leo couldn't help but laugh at Viscount Juan's sad face, "Why, it seems that you don't seem to be willing to 'marry' our Majesty the Empress, do you know what this crime is?" β
Viscount Juan pouted, "There is no charge at all, dear Lord Leo. There is no law in the Empire that says I can't refuse this marriage. β
Leo spread his hands: "In this case, then you can refuse directly, don't worry, your cousin Cheeto and I will definitely stand on your side, and our church can also provide you with a certain degree of military support when necessary." β
Viscount Juan put his hands on his forehead: "Can you change the topic, Lord Leo, I think it is a very unsightly act to discuss such annoying things at this happy time." β
"Okay, okay." Leo rolled his eyes and said, "Then let's talk about the one who came to the Holy See with you this timeβwell, Lord Ambrossi." I'm interested in him, can you tell me about him? β
"Lord Ambrosi?" Viscount Juan glanced at Leo and said, "Actually, I don't know much about him, that is, I only met him when my aunt asked him to go with me a few days ago, but he is not the same as those dull ascetics in my impression, he is a very interesting and talkative person. β
Cheetos on the side also spoke: "Ambrossi belongs to a special category among ascetics, most ascetics like to be alone, but this ascetic lord prefers to enter the world, has been very active in secular affairs, in fact, before he died unexpectedly, basically he attended all the important matters of the church on behalf of the ascetics. β
"That's right." Leo nodded thoughtfully, and then said, "In that case, didn't his 'death' in the Lito Mountains not long ago attract any attention?" β
Cheetos said: "Of course not. In fact, Ambrosi's death even caught the attention of His Majesty the Pope, after all, even Ambrosi was a Sanctuary powerhouse belonging to our church anyway. Both the Inquisition and the Ministry of Supervision sent an investigation team at the same time on the orders of Pope Enshire, but I later received a confidential letter from Lord Dandrien, so at the behest of Lord Dandrien, the Inquisition's investigation was closed. β
"Well, I see." Leo touched his chin and muttered, "It seems that about this Lord Ambrossi, maybe I can only ask Lord Dandrien." β
Cheeto hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Why are you so concerned about him?" Is there something wrong with Ambrossi? β
"Nope." Leo had a hearty smile on his face, "Maybe it's just because I'm bored." β
I've been running out of bad luck these days! The cold is not good yet, and when I woke up from a nap, I suddenly had a toothache!! This toothache is not a disease, it hurts so badly!! It hurt me for five hours!!!
