Chapter 81: Preparations Before Departure (2)
"After people have a certain social status, it will always become very easy to make new friends, so it is better to spend their efforts to figure out and please others, it is better to seize the time to make themselves better, whether it is power, money or other aspects......"
- Leo's Diary
With a disdainful gaze, he looked at the lord who played with the bow and arrow in his hand, and Aldalian, who was dragged by Death Pull to accompany him on the hunt, pouted, and casually bent the bow and arrow and aimed slightly, almost at the moment when the bowstring sounded at the end of the curtain, the eagle owl that had been showing off its might for a long time above everyone's heads spun and fell.

"Haha, that's good, Aldaryan, I was about to make a move, who expected you to take the lead!" Leo looked at the soldiers who rushed out to pick up their prey, and laughed to hide his embarrassment.
Patting his head helplessly, the arrogant Lord Noldor already felt that there was nothing in this world that could save his lord's temperament.
However, Antonis said to Leo with a little jealousy, "Your Excellency, I dare to conclude that those noblewomen in the imperial capital will definitely take the initiative to lift their skirts after seeing the handsome face of this knight leader under your command!" ”
"I have no doubt about that, Your Excellency Leo, I have to say that your subordinates are excellent and enviable," Marquis Auston, who was also dressed in a hunting suit, smiled and echoed aside.
The Noldor lord had no interest in the human's compliment, and looked at Leo's forehead and watched around him.
While waiting for the Courier to return from the various Northern Realm noble realms, Leo and the three of them were not idle, first inspecting the Knights of Punishment, as well as the Champion Swordsman and Stormwings
In the company of Leo, several people also toured the panoramic view of Stormwind City in detail except for the core area such as weapon manufacturing, and when they visited the Ruhr cemetery, the Marquis of Auston, who heard about the detailed deeds of Reinhardt, insisted on offering a bouquet of flowers to this brave knight
Of course, it is not known whether the three of them scoffed at Leo's practice of spending a lot of money to build this cemetery for his subordinates......
The daily uninterrupted drinking banquet is also tiresome for a long time, these days in Antonis's proposal, several people with their entourage began hunting activities, this world because of the vast and sparsely populated, wild vegetation and animals are well preserved, it can be said to be a blessing for hunting lovers.
As a standard imperial noble, hunting has no obstacle for the three of Auston, and even the most unbearable Antonis has made some gains in the past few days, and only Leo is pitied
Not to mention that life on Earth has no chance to contact these at all, even when the weapon proficiency was modified, he didn't care about it because he didn't like bows and arrows, and in the 2 consecutive days of hunting, Leo, the master, didn't have any gains
And the punishment knight under his command can only say that he can't help this, and he can't slash and kill the prey with a spear or a long sword...... So some Leo, who couldn't hold his face, ignored Lord Noldor's opposition this day and dragged him into the hunting team.
"Huh~~" secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, Ardarian's amazing performance was regarded as saving some of his lost face, and casually inserted the expensive and exquisite hunting bow in his hand back into the bow bag, Leo was about to speak, but from a distance there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves
Under the control of the knight, the unicorn under the crotch stopped steadily, and because of the armor on his body, the punishment knight who came did not dismount and salute, but only bowed slightly on the horse's back, and then spoke
"Your Excellency, the last of the messengers sent by His Excellency the Marquis has just returned to Stormwind City, and Lord Finn has asked me to invite you and a few guests back for this matter!"
It has to be said that due to the large territory of the empire and the relatively sparse population, this situation is even more obvious in the northern territory, and the territories of the nobles are mostly far away except for a limited few, so the return time of the messengers sent by Auston is also very different.
The news brought by the messenger who had returned to Storm before was almost all the same, and the nobles of the Northern Territory would not say anything about this matter to offend Leo, not to mention that the interests of spices had already made them forget the resentment they had when they were forced to sign the document.
It is precisely because of this that several people get along more harmoniously these days, and now even the cautious Marquis no longer has any suspicions about Leo, not to mention Antonis and Saru, who have been defeated by the continuous attack of gold coins......
This news made Leo, who was already tired of hunting, relieved, and didn't bother to think about whether the rest of the people were having fun, so he directly suggested
"My dear friends, why don't we end our activities today and go back and hear the news from the last messenger?"
Although there were still some regrets, Auston and the others agreed to his proposal, and only Aldalian gave Leo a covert disdain again, knowing that his lord was simply trying to avoid the humiliating activity of hunting.
************************
"Yes, my lordship, His Excellency Viscount Sebastian received us very warmly, huh...... At the same time, he also expressed his dissatisfaction with Lord Leo's questioning, and this is a reply he wrote to you personally! ”
In the hall of Leo's mansion, the messenger who arrived last bowed down a little apprehensively, handed the marquis a reply from Viscount Sebastian, and peeked at it to find that his master was not dissatisfied, so he was slightly relieved.
Looking at Leo, who was far away from a few people to avoid suspicion, the marquis smiled apologetically and unwrapped the silk thread wrapped in parchment, having no time to judge the viscount's beautiful writing, and after reading it carefully and quickly, the marquis let out a sigh of relief......
Handing the letter to Antonis, who was beside him, he took a few steps closer and addressed Leo in an apologetic tone
"I'm sorry Lord Leo, but His Excellency Viscount Sebastian's reply has thoroughly proved the truth, not only do you not have any responsibility for the death of the Duke of Orlando, but you have fully demonstrated the demeanor of a true nobleman, and the misfortune of the poor Duke may only be attributed to the will of God."
Since he had already apologized and didn t mind complimenting the other party a few more words, in these days of getting along, Leo's demeanor and generosity made him willing to make this friend, thinking about it, the marquis continued
"From the accounts of all the nobles of the Northern Lords, it can be seen that the Duke of Orlando has violated the trust of the Empire in him, and that the cruelty, harshness, and recklessness have brought shame on the Empire, and in this respect you should clearly define his war as a just and lawful means, and I think we can confirm this for you."
Feeling the gaze of the Marquis of Auston looking at him, the Count of Antonis and the deputy head of Saru also hurriedly expressed their approval of this, and in the name of nobles, they promised to prove that they would not let him be affected by this.
Pretending to be a little relieved, he patted his chest, and Leo bowed deeply to the three of them with seven points of gratitude and three points of excitement
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for allowing such upright and wise men to be here, and I am glad to meet you, my best friends! Here I also promise that the gates of Stormwind and the entire Northern Territory will be open to you at all times, and you have gained my sincerest friendship......"
