- Leo's Diary

"Knock Knock"

The rhythmic knock on the door alarmed the eldest prince Frederick, who was addicted to the book, raised his head to look at the already white sky outside the window, and unconsciously stayed up all night, he smiled bitterly and rubbed his astringent eyes, blew out the candles on the table, and then shouted in an elegant voice

"Come in!"

Lealdo pushed open the door, and the turbid air in the room made him frown, and called the butler next to the door to open all the windows in the room, and then walked to Frederick's desk

Glancing at the candle that had obviously just been extinguished and the obviously haggard look of the eldest prince, he sighed, "Your Highness, everything needs moderation, including study, you can't be an excellent emperor without a good body."

"Thank you for the reminder, Uncle Lealdo, but my father's health is getting worse and worse, and I don't have much time left, so it's better to know more about the situation of the empire than to make the people suffer because of my ignorance."

The cold air outside the window made the temperature of the room drop rapidly, and the eldest prince picked up the coat on the back of the chair and draped it over his body, and said to the Grand Master of the Knights of Glory with a smile

"You have been like this since you were a child, Frederick, you are modest and polite even to civilians, but the stubbornness in your bones cannot be changed, this is really similar to your mother"

"I'm sorry, Uncle Lealdo, for keeping you worried about me a lot, is there anything you need me to know when you came here today?"

Motioning for the other party to sit down, Frederick waved his hand to let the butler standing next to him out, and when the door was closed again, he took a sip of water and asked

After hesitating for a moment, His Excellency the Grand Master, who had always been upright, flashed a slight struggle on his face, and sighed lightly

"Your Highness, Rolf, your brother has sent someone to make contact with the latest man, Leo...... Probably what happened a few days ago at the Duke of Lancaster's banquet, sorry, the news came too late, you know I've never been very keen on these things......"

When Frederick heard this, a trace of surprise flashed on his face, but he quickly returned to normal, and asked with some surprise, "Rolf, isn't he afraid of his father's scolding when he does this?" You know, Leo hasn't received permission from his father to summon him."

"Smack"

Standing up, Lealdo slapped his hands heavily on the desk, and the old man's eyes stared at the eldest prince without blinking, "Your Highness, when can you stop being like this, not like this...... Naive"

"Rolf has long been dissatisfied with you, except for Leo and those big nobles, almost all departments of the imperial capital have now been installed by him for various reasons, I am afraid that even the Knights of Glory have his henchmen, and the focus of your concern is that you are worried that he will be punished by His Majesty?"

Shaking his head, Frederick poured a cup of hot tea for the angry old man in front of him, and gently persuaded him, "I understand your worries, but I believe that things will not develop to the point you imagined, no matter what, Rolf is also my younger brother, I have watched him grow up since he was a child, and he will always do the thing you are worried about......"

"Your Highness!!"

The old man, who was so easy to make this persuasion against his heart, was also angry enough by Frederick's childish thoughts at this time, and grabbed it and drank it dry in one gulp, regardless of the hot tea, and then spoke again

"Your Highness, with all due respect, just as you will never find two identical leaves on the same tree, even brothers will be fundamentally different, you are the proudest student of all ......, and Rolf used to be "

After a pause, Lealdo reached for a copy of the history of the empire on his desk, pointed to the cover, and continued

"But now your brother has changed, and the temptation of power has made him lose himself, Your Highness, you have read so many books, don't you understand? There is never a sacredness in the empire, any alternation of kingship has always been accompanied by blood and cruelty, even the Great Majesty, your father, how did he get to that supreme chair, have you forgotten?

"That's enough, Uncle Lealdo, I can act as if what just happened didn't happen, I don't want to hear anything from your mouth again, anything like that to my father and my brother, I'm sorry, I think I'm a little tired, I need to rest now!"

…………

The old man looked at the eldest prince who had lowered his head in front of him as if he couldn't believe it, and after a long time, he closed his eyes and shook his head, stood up and bowed slightly, and said in a calm tone

"I'm sorry Your Highness, please allow me to take my leave, the Knights still have a lot of things to deal with"

"Well, Uncle Lealdo, my butler will send you out on my behalf......" nodded, and Frederick was a little afraid to look at the old man's disappointed eyes

After saluting again in silence, His Excellency pushed open the door and walked straight out, and after a while, the sound of things being smashed and the low roar of the Grand Prince came from the room

"No, Rolf would never do that, no, he wouldn't, we're brothers......"

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

Lealdo, who knew nothing about this, walked out of the gate, took the reins handed to him by Saru, who was waiting outside, and got on his horse, without saying a word, and the unusual attitude of his regiment leader made Saru follow carefully and with trepidation

It's just that he doesn't know if it's an illusion, he feels that His Excellency the Grand Master's always upright back is suddenly a little gloomy and stiff......

After walking in silence for a long time, and when he was about to reach the Glory Knights' station, Lealdo slowly stopped his horse and commanded Saru, who had caught up, with some gloom

"The other deputy head of the Knights is a person from His Royal Highness the Second Prince, you take my order and send him to the southern territory to monitor those restless nobles......"

Seeing that Saru nodded his head although he didn't know, Li Aldo grabbed his beard and continued, "In addition, from today onwards, I need our people to be in any key position in the imperial capital, and the patrol also needs to send more manpower, in the patrol in this area of His Royal Highness the Great Prince, Saru you personally lead the team!" ”

Some couldn't keep up with Lealdo's train of thought, and after Saru first agreed, he scratched his head and couldn't help asking

"What are you worried about, my lord?"

"I'm worried about the last thing I want to see, Saru, you remember, you have to make sure Frederick's safety at all times, I'm talking about any, even if it's someone in the royal family who wants to hurt His Highness, you have to stop it, I'll bear all the consequences, understand?"

"Yes, I understand, sir, it's just ......"

"No, it's just that, in addition, Saru, you have a good relationship with Leo, help me send him a formal invitation, well, just use the reason why I want to invite him to visit the Imperial Capital Knight Academy, the time, the sooner the better!"

After sending Saru away to prepare, Lealdo's expression darkened, and his tangled, painful expression continued to tangle on his face, and he cast his eyes on the majestic palace not far away, and the Grand Master muttered

"Your Majesty, you really can put your mind at ease and leave it alone, do you want the empire to choose the most suitable leader for itself? I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't let you do it this time, if Rolf ascends the throne, the empire may continue, but the people don't need such tyrannical kings......"
