Although the possible changes in the www.biquge.info Emperor of the Pen Pavilion made Saru and Aioris, who were most concerned about the form here, confused and surprised, their status and status for a long time allowed them to hold back their impulses and think seriously about the possible consequences

Compared to them, the henchmen of the two earl's families were not so calm, and the news of the death of Emperor Bernadotte II was like a thunderbolt on the ground, which made the two stunned and speechless on the spot for a long time......

It wasn't until a few minutes later that one of them regained his ability to speak, not noticing the hidden pity in the crowd around him, and taking a few steps forward despite the huge gap in identity, reaffirming to Saru with fear

"Hug ...... I'm sorry to be honorable Lord Saru, maybe my ears are a little deaf because of the bumps in the mount, but you are actually talking about His Majesty, he has not yet arrived, right? ”

The topic that he had deliberately wanted to avoid was brought up again, and Saru walked around a few times in a somewhat irritated manner, shouting angrily

"I haven't fallen enough to deceive a lowly person like you, listen up boy, I'm the one who doesn't want your majesty to have an accident in this world, although it's a pity but your majesty has been called by the gods to leave us forever, not war, not murder, just simply died in the harsh climate and a long-term weak body......"

The aura of the angry Saru superior was unobstructed, and after hearing him confirm it in person again, Carlos's two henchmen looked at each other, although there were still some questions, but at this time, they didn't dare to continue to ask, perhaps to ease the atmosphere, the other person who had not spoken before rubbed his hands with a smile and sighed

"In any case, to be able to see Lord Saru, you personally led the LinkedIn brave knights back to relieve the predicament of the imperial capital, are all the adults here are close subordinates of you and Lord Eoris?" The exploits of capturing that group of strange armies outside will definitely make you wildly sought after in the imperial capital......"

"Two idiots ......"

Speaking of which, even Aeoris on the side had the urge to cover his face, worthy of being a side follower of a small family, and he didn't have any eyes at all, couldn't they see that Saru's position was not the leader's position at all

Fearing that they would continue to flatter and say things that would embarrass both Saru and Leo, the Grand Master of the Templar Order decisively pointed to Leo, who was sitting quietly

"Don't disgrace your master with ignorance, this time it is this lord who leads us to defeat the enemy, from the Northern Territory, His Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Storm, Leo!"

After that, Eoris decisively waved his hand to take the two of them away from here temporarily, he didn't want to answer the chattering questions that would definitely appear in the future, and he really didn't want to explain the reason why they followed Leo here, and the Grand Master of the Templar Order still had some resentment in his heart

After a simple interlude, everyone around the bonfire lost their interest in celebrating the noise, squatted down and picked up a branch and unconsciously poked the bonfire, the flickering and disintegrating sparks formed a hazy trance in front of Saru's eyes, for a long time, as if he had made the greatest determination, he turned his head to look at the quiet Leo beside him with a complicated face, and his lips opened and closed for a while before he said in an almost inaudible voice

"Your Highness, maybe you can go to the imperial capital with us to have a look, after all, Your Majesty has no heirs......"

The whispered words seemed to have thrown a bombshell into the silence, Leo could no longer keep calm, and subconsciously turned his head to look at the other party with an inaction, shocked and exaggerated expression, and Aioris, who had just sat down again, jumped up directly, stepped forward and grabbed Saru's shoulder and shook it

"Are you crazy? Or will you really be able to forget all the things that happened before and prepare to welcome him as the new king? Look into my eyes Saru, did your skull get knocked out stupidly in today's battle? ”

"Enough! I know what I'm talking about, the tentacles of the Church can't control the things of the Empire yet! ”

Saru, who suddenly erupted, stood up suddenly, and staggered the defenseless Aioris out of the distance with both hands, his apologetic eyes flashed, and then Saru closed his eyes as if he was self-hypnotizing and took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, there was no hesitation on his face

"Aioris, you have to understand who among us other than Leo can match that position? His Majesty did not leave an heir, he left too hastily and without warning, yes, I understand what you have to say, the Bernadotte family still has collateral lineage, and the founding royal family still has bloodline, I can say bluntly, if in peacetime, even if I fight to the death, I will protect the legitimacy of them and the royal family with my life, this person does not want to enter the imperial capital unless he steps on my corpse, but now, we all know what is going to happen! ”

Scratching his scalp with some self-deprecation, Leo was not angry even though he was pointed at by Saru and said 'that person', and after more than a month of contact, he also learned some of the personalities of this glorious knight Grand Master who had been called a traitor, an individual with a relative contradiction between reason and emotion

In many cases, he was able to rationally choose what was best for himself and the survival of the empire, and sometimes he was controlled by the sudden activation of sensibilities after the people close to him were hurt, but compared to most knights of this era, Saru was always a person who was good at thinking and summarizing......

Glancing at Leo imperceptibly, Aioris walked back with his hand on the hilt of his sword without weakness, and roared at Saru almost face to face

"I know everything you said, so what, with you and me and the glory of loyalty, the help of the Knights Templar, the tens of millions of devout believers of the Church as a foundation, and the kindness and teaching of His Holiness the Pope, the new emperor will be able to survive even if he is a child or a waste, so why should you choose him? Don't forget that Rolf's death has an inseparable relationship with this man! ”

Taking a half step back slightly, Saru spread his hands to show that he didn't mean to make a move, but he calmed down in the face of Aeoris's roar, and looked deeply at the angry other party and slowly spoke

"Look, this is what I'm worried about, without a strong ruler, even between you and me, who have the same basic demands and interests, there will be contradictions because of this, maybe one day if this contradiction is not alleviated, it will intensify and evolve even more terrible, and no matter what the circumstances, I will not allow the empire that has existed for thousands of years to be finally turned into a religious kingdom by the church in my hands, the church can exist but must depend on the empire, and the royal power must be greater than the divine right at all times!"

Nodding slightly, the unscrupulous Eoris spoke again, and Saru waited for the other party to calm down a little before speaking again

"And if you think about it, will they be able to lead us against the greater aggression that will ensue with those weak wastes? How long has it been since His Holiness the Pope told him about the horrors that you have forgotten all about? Just this battle, not a real demon, how many people did the Knights Templar lose? Fifty or sixty? How much blood can we shed? When we are all killed in battle, who will protect this continent and the kingdom of mankind, relying on the noble waste of your mouth or the so-called thousands of pious but defenseless civilians? ”

Saru's series of questions made Aeoris pale but couldn't make any rebuttals, he may have understood the situation better than Saru, maybe he really let those people in his mouth take control of the power, the first thing he did was to liquidate them, after all, for the Bernadotte family to come to power and Rolf's liquidation, he had offended too many powerful people, and even the reputation of the church that acted as a helper among the nobles was not very good

Aioris's silence did not stop Saru's persecution, and he pointed in the direction of the imperial capital in the darkness, and the Grand Master of the Knights of Glory said in a low tone

"You also heard the news brought by those two people just now, Carlos I know him, a person who is purely loyal to the royal family, according to common sense, the accuracy of this news should be more than eighty percent, it's ironic, right, I don't even know the news of His Majesty's death, seeing the invasion of foreign enemies, the first thing that this group of stupid nobles thought of was not resistance...... I don't know where their poor confidence comes from, but maybe there will be time for them to visit Gale Wind, to see the slaughtered human settlements! ”

……

Sighing, ignoring Ioris, who was confused and contradictory, Saru raised his foot to stomp on a piece of turf that had been ignited by sparks, and looked at Leo, who had always been silent, with blazing eyes

"What do you mean, Your Highness? Don't get me wrong, this is not a matter of submission and reverence for your ability to lead this empire, as you said before, humanity must unite in the face of foreign invasion, even the worst brother is better than the most merciful neighbor, maybe in the future we will one day be victorious, if we can survive, I and the Knights of Glory will still support the orthodox royal blood to succeed to the throne, even if we have to fight you again! But now, what we need is a strong leader......"

Although they had already guessed something, when Saru's words were actually spoken, everyone fell into a deathly silence, and only the crackling sound of burning fire kept coming from the air, and everyone stared at Leo with their own different eyes, waiting for his reply

Even Finn, who had always been calm, had a slight burning gaze at the moment, and Trinas, who was not far away, tiptoed over, and the countess, who was keen on power, knew in her heart that with every redivision of the pie of power, the first person to set foot would always be able to get a piece that satisfied him......

Raising his head and looking at the moon in his sight, a moon slightly larger than the moon but just as bright, Leo suddenly smiled, without any scheming mixed in with a smile even like a child, and he shook his head slowly but resolutely in the face of most expectant eyes

"I refuse ......"
