“…… That's how the story ends, dear Elena, the city that hasn't been conquered for nearly 10 years has fallen ridiculously, and of course, whether it's a true story or a legend that is both beautiful and cruel, I'm not sure."

Slowly put down the teaglass, there was still most of the cold black tea in the cup, and when the housekeeper Old Garin was not around, this kind of Leo once favorite drink also seemed to have no taste, maybe it wasn't the tea problem, but no one could brew that familiar taste......

Elena, who was thinner than before, gently shook Leo's somewhat cold palm, and she frowned slightly and persuaded with some reproach

"My dear, old Garin is actually very willing to follow you, why would you cruelly refuse an old man's heart? While making him sad, you yourself will not be well cared for, do you know my love, I have been praying all these days, praying that you and my grandfather will be safe, but...... But I was scared, I was really scared, and whenever there was a shout of murder from the city walls, even if I hid my head under the thick quilt, the feeling that I almost suffocated still grabbed my throat desperately, and made me tremble, and fearful, afraid to hear anything bad about you......"

"Old Garin is too old, and even if we were all tired from the long war, I can't selfishly let this upright old man continue to work for me in such a situation, and if something terrible happens, I can't even explain it to Tron

Carefully pulled out his hand and hugged the red-eyed girl opposite, Leo gently rubbed the other party's somewhat pale cheeks with the back of his hand, and the close body allowed him to clearly hear the girl's heartbeat and breathing in the quiet room, quietly hugged Elena for a long time After her emotions calmed down a little, Leo kissed her lightly on the forehead, and then smiled again

"I can feel your love and care for my dear Elena, and I assure you that the war will not last long, and that perhaps in another year or two we will be able to defeat the enemy once and for all, and, with Finn and them by my side, I will be very safe! Well...... Or we can think of it this way, you are my goddess, just like the beautiful Helen in that story, and our enemies are the villains who covet your beauty and want to keep it for themselves, and I have to fight against them to protect the goddess, so what a holy war it is! ”

"I hate ......" The little hand pinched Leo's nose lightly, and Elena couldn't help laughing after being interrupted, but soon she asked with some confusion

"But, Leo, in the story you told earlier, the city of Troy was finally destroyed, and Helen was also taken captive and her whereabouts are unknown, you compare ......"

"Ugh!"

Scratching his scalp, Leo didn't want to tell her the story of the Trojan Horse Massacre in order to relieve Elena's anxiety, but after he didn't use the analogy, it caused the girl to be even more melancholy, so he could only emphasize unreasonably

"It's just a parable, my dear, a parable! The difference between us and the story is that the city is not called Troy, and your beauty seems to me far superior to Helen, and most importantly, I would never be foolish enough to accept a gift from my enemy and swallow the bitter fruit of defeat......"

Under Leo's nonsense, Elena finally couldn't help but roll her eyes very unladylikely, the shadow of the original cheerful and lively girl returned to her body a little, feeling the heat on the other party's body, she gently pushed Leo's arms away with some blushing, lowered her head shyly and said

"My dear, I don't want to be Helen, it seems to me that the kind of woman will always only bring trouble and bad luck to her husband, I just want to ...... I just want to be your wife quietly, even if you don't have a prominent position, the wealth of the country, as long as you can be safe and healthy......"

"I promise! Elena, as soon as this war is over, I will personally marry you as my wife, and I will declare my happiness to the whole continent with a grand wedding, and make you the envy of all women, these are my promises......"

"I ......"

"Knock~Knock"

When Elena, who was a little emotional, was just about to pluck up the courage to say something more, the door of the room where the two were alone was knocked softly, and sighed, Leo stood up and touched the girl's hair, and asked a little angrily

"I said don't bother us this morning......"

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, Lord Finn has asked me to inform you that there is a meeting that you must attend."

"When?"

"Now Your Highness, uh, I'm sorry for disturbing your conversation with Miss Elena!"

The tone of the Punishment Knight who was passing the word outside the door was somewhat awkward, and if he could, he didn't want to disturb his lord at this time

"Sorry...... Elena, I'm ......"

Looking at each other in embarrassment, Leo's tone was full of apologies

"Go my love, you don't just belong to me now, countless people, your subordinates, even my grandfather, they are all waiting for your decision and leadership, your identity is destined to carry countless responsibilities, go, take care of yourself, don't be sorry to me, I love you!"

Standing up, Elena took the initiative to hug Leo's waist tightly, closed her beautiful eyes tightly, stood on tiptoe and gently kissed him on the cheek with her red lips......

**********************

"What's the emergency? Has Rolf continued to increase his troops, or has the Church given us a new accusation? ”

Under the leadership of the Punishment Knight, Leo ended his short stay with Elena, hurried to the city's government hall, opened his mouth to ask Finn who greeted him at the door, Leo who stepped into the hall looked at the slightly crowded room with some astonishment, in addition to several of his own subordinates, including the Duke of Lancaster, the Marquis of Hohenzollern and the Marquis of Auston, almost all the vassal nobles of the duchy and allies were present......

After looking around left and right, and subconsciously returning the salute to the forehead of the nobleman who stood up to salute him, Leo cast a puzzled gaze on the oncoming El

"The situation has changed a bit, Your Highness, and in this morning's battle, our soldiers finally found a few letters while cleaning up the battlefield, letters from some nobles under the control of Rolf......"

"Oh?"

As he walked briskly to his seat, Leo asked in a low voice

"A lot? Did any soldier open a letter? ”

"There are a lot of them, and there is no trace of the letters being opened, and the first time Captain Finn found them, the Knights of Punishment controlled all the soldiers who found the letters, and in addition, all the letters have been jointly identified by me and the Duke of Lancaster, and they are intact whether they are sealed or sealed!"

After answering Leo's question in the same low voice, Al reached out and pointed to the neatly stacked parchment scrolls on the table, smiling

"If I'm not mistaken, the situation is slowly moving in our favor, and guess what's going to be written in it?"

"Humph! Do you still need to guess, what else can they say about these villains at both ends of the snake and rat in order to keep their power and status......"
