Chapter 1 Initiation
What is a life of luxury? Leo, who was also in a high position after crossing over, once naively thought that the life he had experienced in Stormwind City could be regarded as a nobleman's life, but these experiences made him deeply understand what is called innocence and what is called aristocratic life......
After entering the imperial capital with the Marquis, Saru and Antonis said goodbye and left separately, Saru led the Knights of Glory to report on the mission first, and Antonis had to explain the experience of this trip to his grandfather in detail as soon as he returned home. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Of course, His Majesty the Emperor and the Imperial House of Lords will also get the same complete information as soon as possible.
Agreeing to Auston's arrangement, Leo and the members of the Order as guards will temporarily reside in the Marquis's Court until they find a suitable mansion
Due to the fact that he did not return to the fiefdom all the year round, the Marquis's Mansion was built by Auston with great dedication, and the area of the Marquis's Mansion was also enviable in the aristocratic gathering area not far from the palace.
The soaring columns, the elaborate reliefs, and the staggered courtyards all reveal the skill of the best craftsmen of the era, and Auston and the Marquise had no heirs, and in order not to make the sprawling mansion too cold, hundreds of servants served in it all year round......
Leaning back on a chaise longue with a cup of hot black tea in his hand, Leo slowly flipped through a brief history of the empire, which was supposed to be a specific edition for the aristocracy, and he was amazed by some of the strange things in it.
Skipping those explicit court secrets and the propaganda of the emperors of the past dynasties, and closing his eyes slightly, Leo also has a certain understanding of the development history of the empire for hundreds of years, and the conjecture in his heart that the ancestors of the Leicester family are also time-traveling predecessors has been further confirmed
Although there are not too many descriptions of the Swan family in the book, you can still feel from the sporadic introductory paragraphs that the ancestors of the Swan family were vertical and horizontal and despised the heroic posture of the world
“…… The fearless Swan Knights saved His Majesty once again and changed the course of the war, they were like steel, no, even steel in front of the Swan Knights could not escape the end of destruction, they firmly followed the Archduke Crest, even in the face of tens of thousands of enemies, they were never afraid, as if they were alone by the gods, unless they lost their heads or stabbed their hearts, the Swan Knights were like having an immortal body, so that any enemy could only completely collapse in front of them! ”
Eyebrows subconsciously raised, Leo is different from other imperial nobles, these are just beautified and exaggerated descriptions in the eyes of the nobles, setting off a monstrous wave in his heart, loyalty, not afraid of death, as long as he does not die on the spot, no matter how serious the injury can be recovered
If these qualities are not systematically embodied characters, then they can only be attributed to the ethereal gods, is there a god in this world? Leo pouted, he is not one of those ignorant natives, even if he has, he can only be regarded as a certain advanced civilization that can create a system.
"System, what else can you tell me about this world or this planet? What about the Swan family? Another game......"
"The host authority is insufficient, this question cannot be answered, please explore and solve the mystery by yourself!"
Hearing the formulaic answers of the system, Leo, who did not have much hope for it, did not have many mood swings, and in addition, the unknown can always arouse people's curiosity and motivation to explore.
Leo, who was in deep thought, was pulled out of his mind by the contrived laughter next to him, and glanced at the Marquis of Auston who was sitting on the other side, and his face couldn't help but show a hint of playfulness
Two petite maids snuggled up in the marquis's arms, one of them carefully opened the shell and stuffed some kind of nut into his mouth, and the other was not to be outdone, and the red wine was in his mouth and fed it to the marquis, and Auston was no longer Sven in front of outsiders, and his hands had already reached into the maids' light clothes.
The burning of good charcoal in the fireplace made the room warm like spring, and after seeing this scene, Leo was a little dry-mouthed, but he did not regret his previous rejection of the Marquis's heart, and to be honest, he was envious of these tunes but would not pursue them excessively
Aside from the fact that most women rarely took a bath in this era, a certain contagious disease discouraged Leo from these, and he didn't want to lie on the bed in the future without antibiotics......
But it's really an era that men envy...... Even the Marquis himself confessed that his wife had several mistresses outside, and in an era when aristocratic women were considered unattractive if they had no lovers other than their husbands, he was proud of his wife!
Shaking his head, he said hello to the Marquis of Auston, who was indulging in the gentle country, and turned to leave the room, while there was still some leisure time, Leo wanted to take a look around the imperial capital
Rejecting Hou Li's suggestion to provide a carriage from the butler of the Marquis's Mansion outside the door, Leo walked to the room of Fain and the others on his own......
***********************
In the Imperial Palace in the center of the city, His Majesty the Aged Emperor, accompanied by the Empress, sat on the golden throne that symbolized the supremacy of the continent, and quietly listened to the extremely respectful Saru below introduce the situation of the Northern Territory and Leo
There were not many people in the empty hall at this time, except for the Grand Master of the Glorious Knights and a few chamberlains standing behind him with the hilt of his sword, only two young men in their twenties dressed in ornate regular clothes stood aside
Unlike the emperor's somewhat cloudy eyes and occasionally unnaturally trembling hands, the queen beside him looked dazzling
The well-maintained skin is lubricated like silk, the picturesque facial features are full of charm, the slender body is concave and convex, and he is in his thirties judging from his appearance alone, and his eyes look at the emperor from time to time are full of tenderness......
“…… To sum up, I agree with the judgment made by the Marquis of Auston and the Count of Antonis, Your Majesty, the death of the Duke of Orlando stems from his own greed and evil, and Leo is probably really from the mysterious continent of Pande."
After a pause, Sarubi respectfully took out a stack of letters from his bosom and handed it to the chamberlain in front of him
"Your Majesty, here is the testimony of all the nobles of the Northern Realm, the three of us have verified the seal, and the old Barr of the Hohenzollern family has personally testified for Leo with honor......"
Saru, who had accepted a large amount of gold in bribes, was also doing his best to speak for Leo at the moment, and from this point of view alone, the deputy head of the regiment was still very ethical, much better than many nobles who only took money and did nothing.
The emperor waved his hand lightly to the chamberlain, signaling himself not to read the letters for the time being, and his cloudy eyes burst out with a moment of extremely shrewd looks, and after looking at Saru for a long time, he smiled and spoke in the other party's somewhat uneasy
"It seems that the outsider named Leo must be quite rich, and say, my dear captain, how many gold coins did he give you? A thousand or five thousand? Saru, you've never learned to hide your thoughts over the years! ”
Saru, who had taken tens of thousands of gold coins from Leo, heard this, but he didn't know how to speak, so he could only murmur to himself in his heart, His Majesty still underestimated the wealth and generosity of the other party......
Just as he was hesitating, the head of the Glory Knights behind him took a step forward slightly, and was just about to speak for his subordinates when he was stopped by the emperor
"Lealdo, my old friend, please relax, I will not punish this child Saru for this, I believe that he is as loyal to me as you are, and other than that, some people's slander and a little flaw are not a problem in my opinion"
One of the greatest knights of the empire at present, the honorary president of the Continental Knight Guild, the Grand Master of the Glory Knights, and the title of Heavenly Knight, Li Aldo, who has the title of Heavenly Knight, heard this, and after bowing deeply to the back of the old and benevolent emperor, he did not say much, and quietly returned to his position......
