Chapter 1: The Beginning of Confusion

Fortunately www.biquge.info Kane's inference has not yet become a reality, and even if it is estimated at the fastest speed, it will take at least a month for the news of Rolf's death to come back through the eyes and ears of the nobles left behind in the imperial capital, after all, the negative effects of a war are enough to change some of the previous arrangements......

"Nope! I will never agree to change the route, no matter what I must lead the Knights of Glory into the imperial capital, Your Majesty's country must not be controlled by those nobles who are as stupid as pigs who do nothing like this, the Bernadotte family still has branches, no one can take this country from Your Majesty while I am still alive, no, no!! ”

Saru, who was in a hurry for a while, quickly came to his senses under his care, and when he returned to the tent in the middle of the meeting, he keenly felt that there seemed to be a different atmosphere brewing around him, and after a few tentative questions, he found that everyone, including Leo, was worried, and in an anxious mood, he shouted out desperately

A little embarrassed and dissatisfied, Leo was just about to stand up and say a few words of reassurance, but the Grand Master of the Knights Templar, Eoris, who was sitting alone in the corner, changed his face a little, and suddenly stood up, and said with a gloomy face in front of him

"I don't care if this apostate is correct or not, but my opinion is in line with that of Captain Saru, we must enter the Imperial Capital, His Majesty will never allow his most devout followers to be persecuted by these evils, and if you disagree, the Knights Templar will also withdraw here!"

"Damn it!"

He scolded fiercely in his heart, but Leo didn't have anything to do about the two of them, he understood that whether it was Saru or Aeoris, they had already keenly smelled the key point of this matter after experiencing the initial shock and horror of Rolf's death

At this time, in the panic situation of the imperial capital, as long as anyone can repel the demon army outside the city, they will definitely be regarded as heroes by the nobles and people of the imperial capital, which is a temptation that cannot be given up for Saru, who is bent on supporting the Bernadotte family, or Aioris, who wants to expand the influence of the church

As the center of the entire empire, the imperial capital has been endowed with a different value in addition to prosperity, in the eyes of everyone, especially most uneducated civilians, who actually controls everything in the imperial capital, who should be the nominal master of this empire, even if Leo has had many victories before, no matter how merciful his actions are, the role he plays cannot be compared

Do not blame the stupidity of the people, the obsession brought about by deep-rooted traditions and symbols is definitely not something that someone can change in a few years......

Leo, who instantly figured out the approximate reason, in addition to scolding, could only sigh the temptation of power in his heart, and under this temptation, perhaps many times there was only a thin line between stupidity and intelligence

The struggle and hesitation continued to flicker in his mind as Leo's fist tightened and loosened, which made him feel a sense of powerlessness and depression that he had never experienced before, and a few minutes flashed, just when Leo finally made up his mind, just when he thought that the current morale and strength were indeed not suitable for a head-to-head battle and a terrible battle, a change of events occurred

"I think ......"

Before he could finish speaking, the door of the tent was opened from the outside, and the sudden blinding light made Leo who was facing the door a little anxious for a while, but soon, the words of the punishment knight regained the attention of everyone, including him

"I'm sorry for interrupting your conversation, but I think there's one thing you'd better see for yourself, we've got two strange guests here......"

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

Trinas, the prominent countess of the Southern Domain, sat in a daze on a humble bench outside the makeshift barracks, and the vigilant knight could hardly believe that she was a nobleman if it were not for the well-preserved family crest and the still-finely fine calfskin riding boots......

The beautiful face was no better than the farmer under the cover of dust and dirt, the chapped lips were full of burning bubbles, the tight-fitting hunting suit seemed to be a sack, the filth was full of traces of broken threads, and the waist was supposed to belong to the place of the gorgeous belt, but now it was simply tied with a hemp rope that could be seen everywhere, and a sense of incongruity that could make the obsessive-compulsive person go crazy was especially strong from Trinas......

Even though the journey had reached the end, Paul Lambert, as a guard, still stood straight behind the countess, as if he had not smeared a trace of tiredness on him after months of hurrying, and his vigilant gaze swept over the curious knights around him from time to time, occasionally lowering his head, but looking at Trinas's back was full of indescribable tenderness

Shaking his head slightly, he rejected the jug that Paul had handed him, and turned his face to reveal an apologetic smile

"I'm sorry Paul, but I suddenly regret it now, I was a little frightened after I had been quieted down by the ordeal of thousands of miles, I don't know, I don't know if the news we brought would make these people take it seriously, or if the stupidity of the nobles would be contagious......"

"Oh? Stupidity? Please note your rhetorical lady, talking about people behind your back is not what a nobleman should do, I am Leo, and perhaps according to etiquette, I should first ask you to say your name, and ...... Purpose! ”

Not far away, Leo led all the main members of the Knights around a tent and strode over, with a warm smile on his face, but the words that came out of his mouth were tough and irrefutable

It's no wonder that anyone here who suddenly hears the so-called important news that someone has brought from the southern consulate will have the same suspicions as him, especially since it is said that this is still an unheard of female nobleman!

As if he was not frightened in any way, he stood up and twisted his waist lightly and turned around slowly, with a polite and reserved smile exclusive to the nobles, Trinas gracefully stroked his chest and lowered his head

"House Rare, Trinath Riel, Earl, salute your esteemed Highness, and see you alive...... Well, I mean...... I've heard a lot of stories about you, even in the Southern Territory, and I have brought me some news that may not be too good, and you can trust me in that sincerity! ”

With that, the countess raised her head, spread her hands and naturally parted to her sides, which was also part of medieval etiquette, and when two unfamiliar nobles first came into contact, the inferior side used this gesture to show that they were not carrying weapons, but only to show goodwill......

"Poof!"

Before Leo could react, after seeing the mud monkey-like face on Trinas's curvaceous devil figure, a knight leader from a certain noble family suddenly couldn't help but let out a clear laugh, knowing that he had made a rude move, the knight quickly covered his mouth tightly and retreated to the back of the crowd in embarrassment

But that wasn't the end of it, Paul, who had been quietly following the countess, raised his eyebrows, stepped forward heavily, stared at the knight like lightning, and the long sword in the scabbard even made a rapid trembling buzz in the palm of his hand

"Apologize, make the most sincere apologies for insulting a glorious nobleman, or else, accept my challenge and let your blood wash away the humiliation of my master!"

The surging and undisguised momentum came to his face like substance, and everyone could see his resoluteness in Paul's eyes, even though there were thousands of knights around him, even if he was in a territory that he was not familiar with, but there was no compromise or fear in him

Slightly surprised, Finn, who was the Grand Master of the Knights of Punishment, still reacted the fastest, and Eagle Eyes also took a step forward, firmly protecting Leo, no matter how violent Paul's momentum was, he was like an eternal rock without the slightest wavering

"Release your sword-gripping hand knight! No one can draw his weapon in front of His Highness, and I swear with the honor of a knight that if you can't control your sword-holding arm, then, you will never need him again! ”

The tension was tense, and the atmosphere became a little weird and tense as soon as they met, and after seeing that the smell of gunpowder on both sides was getting stronger and stronger, and neither Fain nor Paul had any intention of backing down, Leo couldn't help but hold his forehead and sighed deeply, he turned around and looked for it, grabbed the knight with an embarrassed face and pulled him to his side

"Whatever the reason, it is indeed rude to be a knight to act like a beautiful and noble lady, my friend, apologize to the lady in front of you, rest assured, it will not affect your honor, but will only make people think that you are a true gentleman"

Nodding his head quickly, the knight who had caused the accident almost didn't dare to look up, beat his chest and bent down with the most solemn knightly salute to express his apologies for his previous dishonorable acts, and then burrowed back into the crowd again without looking back......

With a slight forehead of satisfaction, Leo patted Finn on the shoulder, walked around him, stepped forward and smiled at Trinas

"Now dear lady, if you can relax your guards a little, I think it should also be one of the virtues......

"Hehe, you're right, I'm not angry, you know, too far away and impatient, even a lady occasionally forgets to take care of her appearance, but the reckless gentleman also reminded me, Your Highness, could you please give me some help so that I can wash and change my clothes a little."

Whispering a few words to Paul, and when the other man stepped back behind him, Trinas reached back and stroked his long, somewhat messy knotted hair, and pleaded in a self-deprecating tone

"Of course, this is a very reasonable request, please come with me, dear lady Trinas, I think soon, there will be attentive gentlemen to help you and your loyal guards prepare hot water and new clothes, please let go of your tiredness and vigilance, no matter what happens, here you will have a safe ...... that you have never had before"

Leo stretched out his hand and smiled sideways as if he were a hospitable host, I have to say that even if he is in a difficult situation, it is probably a wonderful thing for everyone to be able to see a noble woman......
