Chapter 657: Cheetos' Lifetime Event
Early the next morning, Leo's carriage drove out of the Inquisition headquarters under Morata's driver, heading for the Knights of Lightwings camp outside the city.
In addition to Leo and Duke Habs, there was also an uninvited guest in the carriage - Cheetos.
Although Cheeto claimed that he should be present at such a critical moment when he met with General Biedrins, Leo always felt that it was just an excuse, and that Cheeto's real reason might just be to spend more time with his uncle, Duke Habs, whom he had not seen for thirty years, as can be seen from the way Cheeto sometimes inadvertently appeared in front of Duke Habs.
Of course, Leo is actually quite happy about this, after all, in Leo's opinion, no matter how much contact he has, the probability of Cheeto being influenced by Duke Habs and betraying the church is very low, but it is more likely that Duke Habs will be influenced by Cheeto and get closer to the church.
After all, Cheeto is willing to cultivate the dark power that believers in the Church of Light think deserve death for the sake of faith (although Leo thinks that it is very likely that Cheetos, who was young and ignorant at the time, was fooled), and there should be no doubt about the strength of such a person's faith and loyalty to the church.
At this moment, in the carriage, the two uncles and nephews, who had not seen each other for many years, were chatting in front of Leo.
"My dear child," said Duke Habs, looking at Cheetos with the gentle smile of an elder on his face, "you are now in your early thirties, have you not considered starting a family?" I think my sister and your mother would love to hear the good news that she had a grandson or granddaughter. ”
The question was apparently unexpected, so much so that it was a long time before the master of the Inquisition replied, "This—I'll talk about it later." ”
Duke Habs laughed and patted Cheetus on the shoulder affectionately: "This question cannot be delayed, anyway, clergy like you are not forbidden to marry in your church, is it?" You may still feel young, but don't forget that your mother is an old man now. ”
As soon as these words came out, Cheeto's body suddenly shook violently, and then asked in disbelief, "Mother, has she- become very old?" ”
Cheeto's voice sounded confused and terrified, like a child who had done something wrong.
Duke Habs sighed softly: "She's sixty-four years old, Cheetos. You may not know that now her hair is all gray, and her body has even begun to hunch slightly. ”
Cheeto's body trembled even more, but what made the master of the Inquisition feel even more terrified was that no matter how much he imagined it in his heart, Cheedo couldn't imagine what his mother had aged now, and even her original image in Cheetto's mind had now become blurred.
Time is always the best way to erase memories, let alone a full thirty years of parting and no news?
Cheedo was silent for a long time before he spoke, "When this matter is over, I will go to visit my mother—and bring her daughter-in-law with me." ”
Duke Habs laughed heartily when he heard this, and patted Cheetus on the shoulder again: "You have really grown up, child." ”
Leo on the side listened to the conversation between the two uncles and nephews, and secretly turned the gossip thoughts in his heart with some surprise: "Daughter-in-law? This means that Cheedo-sama actually has a marriage partner, who will it be? ”
Leo thought about it for a while, and then came up with a very likely candidate - Daisy.
It was the blonde with an explosive figure, Cheeto's right-hand man, who led the elite of the church to help Leo win the battle of Ridmar, and Daisy, the zero adjudicator of the Inquisition.
"Most likely Daisy didn't run away, if she heard this sentence from Lord Cheeto, she probably would be happy."
Unfortunately, Daisy was not in the Holy See at the moment because Daisy was seriously injured in the Battle of Ridmar and had to recuperate for several days.
At this moment, Duke Habs turned his head to Leo again and said with a smile: "Your Excellency Leo, I believe you also heard what Cheedo just said. Therefore, for the sake of my nephew's life, please also ask Your Excellency Leo to do a lot of work and successfully ascend the throne and become the Pope. ”
Leo laughed as well: "Of course, I can assure Lord Habs here that when it comes to Lord Cheeto's grand wedding, I will be the wedding witness!" ”
Duke Habs's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Oh? In that case, it would be very good, and I will thank my sister and His Majesty Leo first. ”
In the atmosphere of the harmonious conversation between the two sides, Leo quietly upgraded from "Your Excellency" to "Your Majesty" in the mouth of Duke Habs, and I believe that the three people in the carriage know what it means.
Bursts of laughter came from the carriage and reached Foster's ears, but the young captain was completely unmoved, looking straight ahead at the road with his head held high, looking like a proud giraffe.
Although the coachman's duties were taken away by Morata, Foster still did his word, leading a small group of Lightwing knights to "protect" Duke Habs next to the carriage (of course, you can also understand it as surveillance).
When the morning sun had completely jumped over the horizon, the carriage of Leo and the others also came to the camp of the Knights of Lightwings outside the city, but to their surprise, the door of the camp was completely closed.
Foster frowned, rode under the camp gate, and shouted, "I'm Foster, open the door!" ”
As soon as Foster's words fell, a sentry-like figure appeared on the tower next to the camp gate, and I saw this sentry glance at Foster, and then at the carriage behind Foster, and then shouted: "Captain Foster, who is in the carriage?" ”
Foster snorted, and the expression on his face looked obviously dissatisfied—you must know that Foster was still the speaker of the camp yesterday morning, but it was only a day before he entered the camp gate and had to be interrogated.
"In the carriage are Duke Habs and Lord Leo, who have come to visit the General's wounded, open the door and let us in!"
However, the sentry did not open the door immediately, but shouted at Foster: "Captain Foster, the military order just issued yesterday is that no outsiders are allowed to enter the camp!" Please wait a little longer, Captain Foster, and let me make a decision before I make a decision!" ”
The three Leos in the carriage listened to this conversation clearly, but none of them were dissatisfied with the slightest, but each of them showed thoughtful expressions on their faces.
It seems that the Duke of Habs's speculation does seem to be very reasonable.
