After entering the city, the three of them walked side by side, as the host, Leo kept introducing everything about Stormwind City in a proud tone, the towering walls and elite soldiers, the endless flow of people and thriving commerce, so that the accompanying two people continued to exclaim. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Even Antonis forgot the pain in his thigh for the time being, and looked curiously at the big arena built in the city, and couldn't help but exclaim

"Praise be to the Most High God, what a magnificent building, Your Excellency, can we know what it is for?"

Seeing that the Marquis also showed an inquiring look on the side, Leo smiled and explained

"An arena, gentlemen, one that will be the greatest arena on the continent when it is completed, and if the two of you can visit my city in half a year, I believe that it will be completed, and there will be countless warriors here fighting for supreme honor and great rewards, and people will be crazy about their wonderful performances......"

"Oh my God, if it's really like what you said, I will definitely come here again when the time comes, you don't know Your Excellency, the dull life in the imperial capital makes people rust, I like these interesting things so much!" Young Antonis excitedly promised.

Looking at his companion with some dissatisfaction, Auston also sighed sincerely, "Your Excellency, you have a group of great architects, and they are indeed amazing buildings!" ”

With a reserved smile, Leo nodded to accept and thank the two for their compliments.

Under the escort of the Punishment Knight, the three of them came to the door of the mansion with a smile, and the old Garin had already waited outside with all the servants of the Grand Duke's Mansion, and according to the gimmick requested by Leo, a long red carpet was rolled from the hall to the door.

Leo made another gesture of invitation, "Please, my honored guest, there are already some steaming food and fine drinks for you......"

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

"Huh~~~" Sending the last bite of food into the stomach with wine, even the calm Marquis of Auston couldn't help but let out a comfortable sigh, the journey of these two months was indeed not light, and even in order to hurry, there were almost no stops in the territory of other nobles on the road, although he didn't say it, but the marquis had almost reached the limit of patience.

Next to him, Antonis was even more unbearable, leaning in the chair, playing with the exquisite silver cup in his hand, but his eyes kept sweeping the young and beautiful maids around him, it seemed that after food and clothing, he had other interests.

Leo, who had already eaten lunch, had little appetite, and after simply using some fruits, he picked up a silk scarf and wiped the corners of his mouth, and then smiled and spoke

"I hope that the hospitality will satisfy the two of you, perhaps not as rich as the great imperial capital, but in order to express my sincerity and joy, my butler has also prepared an extremely sumptuous welcome dinner for you tonight."

"Your enthusiasm scares us, Your Excellency, but before that the Count and I have something to ask you, you see? ......" The Marquis of Auston, who had also wiped the corners of his mouth with impeccable grace, spoke, but his eyes swept to the butlers and servants standing around him.

Shrugging his shoulders, Leo said indifferently, "Of course, I can't refuse your request," and then turned to the butler and instructed, "Dear old Garin, help me and the two honored guests bring me a cup of black tea, and then give us some time to be alone!" ”

It didn't take long for the butler to bow respectfully and then leave the room with all the servants, although Fein and the others were not worried about the safety of their lords, they still left two punishment knights to close the door and be in charge of guarding outside.

The room was quiet for a while, but finally Auston picked up the black tea and gently blew the hot tea, breaking the silence first

"Your Excellency...... I think you should know a little bit about our intentions, the Empire and His Majesty are extremely sorry and concerned about what happened in the Northern Territory before...... Well, I'm referring to the dishonorable war between you and the Duke of Orlando......"

Leo shook his head disapprovingly, "No, dishonorable wars? Of course, it is not that I am disrespectful to His Great Majesty, but if I were to describe it, I would understand it as 'rebellion' and 'revenge', ......and that's it."

Without waiting for the Marquis to speak again, he continued, "In this regard, I would like to ask the two noble gentlemen, is it not in the Empire that when a nobleman's private property and life are threatened, he cannot fight, but must desire shameless predators, so that it is honorable?" Is it right? ”

"Your Excellency Leo, please don't be so excited, Your Majesty and the House of Lords have not sent us here to accuse you, but to understand the situation!"

Auston first reassured Leo, and then asked some questions, "After we came to the Northern Territory, we have heard that you won the final victory in the war with the Duke of Orlando, so can you invite the Duke to come and let him also make some defenses for his actions?" ”

For unknown reasons, the nobles who had been in contact with the two in the Northern Territory did not tell Auston and Antonis about Orlando's death, only that the war ended in Leo's victory, and no matter what the reason was, the two of them now thought that Orlando was only living in Stormwind as a captive......

Hearing Auston ask this, although Leo felt strange, he immediately pretended to look at the two of them with a stunned expression, perhaps because the expression was too realistic, so that the two subconsciously lowered their heads to check their clothes, and Antonis even reached out to touch his face to see if there was anything.

"Your Excellency, don't you know what we are rude?" After confirming that it was correct, even the good-natured marquis was a little annoyed at this time.

"No, no, no! I think you misunderstood, I was just suddenly a little surprised, didn't the other nobles of the Northern Lords inform the other nobles of the Duke of Orlando? Leo was really a little confused at this point.

As soon as his words fell, the cup that had just been picked up in the hand of the Marquis, who was shocked by the news, slipped directly, and Antonis stood up even more impulsively, ignoring the etiquette and shouting, "What? Is Orlando dead? How dare you execute an imperial duke without permission? The Empire will never condone such an act! ”

With these words, the intimate atmosphere in the room was swept away, and it was undeniable that the death of an imperial duke had a great impact on the two of them, because in this land, nobles always enjoyed privileges, and even if they were defeated, most of them could be treated in accordance with their status, and finally pardoned.

The sound of the chair opening in an instant alarmed the punishment knight standing guard at the door, Leo stood up and waved his hand to signal the knight who pushed the door in to go out, leaning forward with his hands on the table, his eyes staring at Antonis who roared, and the smile on his face was replaced by coldness

"Are you threatening me? Threatening a truly noble nobleman, does that mean you or does it mean the Empire? ”
