In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight crept through the window, and in the mischievous frolicking of the naughty birds on the branches outside the mansion, Leo stretched his waist and opened his eyes, squinting slightly and slowly adjusting to the bright light, he found that he was beginning to get used to and like the world. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

There are no endless meetings and studies in the past, there is a lack of documents in the form of a dull and preachy document at hand, and there is no clear and secret struggle between colleagues, let alone worrying about the constant banknotes in their hands amid soaring prices......

The temperature of the late summer morning was already a little cool, he reached out and tightened the collar of his pajamas, pulled the rope of the rattle next to the bed, and with the sound of regular footsteps from far to near, soon the housekeeper dressed in black knocked lightly on the door and walked straight in.

Leo had now given up his curiosity about being able to maintain his grooming at all times and in all places, and lazily propped up his upper body and asked in a somewhat hoarse voice after drinking heavily

"How were our guests resting yesterday? Dear old Garin, give me a glass of water first......"

The butler poured a glass of water at just the right temperature for Leo from the tray in his hand, and there was a rare smile on his serious face

"I'm sure they are satisfied with your lordship's arrangement, the Earl and the knight have not yet gotten up, but the Marquis has already gotten up, and is now enjoying the breakfast I have prepared for him, knowing that you are still resting."

Hearing this, Leo also relieved his heart, knowing in his heart that his previous enthusiasm, and the box of genuine gold coins in everyone's room should have had an effect, nobles, fundamentally speaking, they are all the same kind of people, remembering the ugliness of seeing boxes of gold coins when they first came, and couldn't help laughing.

Refusing the butler's support and jumping out of bed, Leo changed his clothes and instructed the housekeeper to arrange the washing items, and there was a bathroom specially prepared for the lord in the mansion given by the system, and he could serve him all day under the management of a special person.

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

At the table in the hall, the Marquis of Auston slowly cut the food on his plate, a glass of hot milk without any fishy smell whetted his appetite, but the legs under the table were unknown and occasionally shivered......

"These two damn little goblins!"

If it weren't for a few servants by his side, the marquis would have been eager to rub his sore old waist, maybe he had really been a vegetarian for too long along the way, and he was a little weak in the morning after tossing with two maids for half the night yesterday through alcohol.

"But it's really two stunners, and if you want to ask your master, you shouldn't be refused," he probably thought of the box full of gold coins in the room, and his slightly sluggish spirit was much more uplifted.

Swallowing the last bite of food, the marquis elegantly put down his knife and fork, and the well-trained servant next to him quickly stepped forward, removed the utensils from the table, and put down a cup of black tea, with a gentle movement that barely made a sound

This gave the Marquis the illusion that he was not in the northern realm, which was recognized as poor and barbaric in the Empire, but in the mansion of His Royal Highness a certain prince......

Fortunately, the footsteps behind him interrupted his thoughts, and when he turned his head and saw Leo walking briskly under the guidance of the butler, the marquis quickly stood up and bowed slightly, "Good day, Your Excellency Leo, your complexion is really good!" ”

"Good day, dear Marquis, is the breakfast still satisfying you?"

Leo also smiled in return, but with yesterday's foreshadowing, the two of them saluted each other a lot more casually, less rigid and more relaxed and familiar.

"Just call me Auston, you don't have to be so polite, thank you very much for your hospitality, I am very happy with everything, as if I were in my own home"

The Marquis laughed and said, the hidden meaning of the words made Leo laugh too, and he had to sigh that the charm of the money woman was irresistible at any time.

After the two sat down and talked for a while, Antonis and Saru, whose eyes were a little dark, belatedly arrived under the guidance of the servants, and in the implicit reproachful gaze of the Marquis of Auston, the two who knew that they were in the wrong did not dare to tell the difference, and sat down at the table after greeting Leo.

A servant beside him had already brought the prepared breakfast, and after glancing at Leo, the Marquis spoke to the two of them, especially Antonis

"Wait a minute, I will prepare some letters inquiring about the cause of Duke Orlando's death, and let the messenger send them to the various lords of the Northern Lord, and you, as my deputy, will also have to sign the letters!"

"In addition, Lord Leo, I'm afraid I need to trouble you to send some guides to lead our soldiers to deliver the letter, after all, they are not familiar with the road when they come here from the distant imperial capital!"

After a little hesitation, the Marquis still explained in a low voice, "I hope you can understand, this is our task after all, and the reply of the nobles is a strong proof that we have finally won the trust of His Majesty and the House of Lords, of course, as friends, we have no doubt about your story......"

Leo waved his hand indifferently, "No problem, Auston, after breakfast, I will ask my knight leader to arrange for the most capable and familiar soldiers to be guides, well, according to the time, if it is fast, we will be able to receive a reply in about ten days" He was not worried about these at all.

Motioning to the servant to add a glass of milk to himself, Leo looked at the few people seriously and said, "I will also be ready, and when the messenger you sent returns, I will return to the imperial capital with you to meet His Majesty the Great Emperor, as well as complete my noble certification and filing in the empire." ”

"What !!"

Several people were shocked when they heard this, none of them expected that Leo would go to the imperial capital in person, in the minds of several people, this foreign nobleman sent at most one or two cronies to the imperial capital with the required coats of arms and documents to explain, and the result was ......

Antonis, who was a little impatient, stood up directly, and after receiving the gift of enthusiasm and generosity, this gentleman had already regarded Leo as a friend, and hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade when he heard the words

"Your Excellency, with your honorable status, you don't need to go to the imperial capital in person, even Your Majesty and no other nobles can accuse you of neglect, after all, the distance between your territory and the imperial capital is too far, if so, you can't take care of your own territory at all!"

Even the Marquis of Auston, who was still a little wary of Leo, opened his mouth to persuade, "Yes, Antonis is right, no one and no law compels a nobleman to leave his own territory, I think Your Majesty will understand your distress, besides, there are some dangers in the long way"

The marquis's mind was in a mess, he really couldn't figure out why Leo wanted to go in person, was he so fearless that the empire would definitely meet his requirements, and the identity was okay, how could the control of the northern territory be easily let go of the empire, wasn't he afraid......

"Do I need to be afraid of anything? Dear friends, would the Great Majesty and the venerable members of the House of Lords unlawfully imprison or even kill me? Hahaha, what's the danger on the way? ”

Leo blinked and made a mischievous expression, while also testing the Empire's possible reaction at the end

"How is that possible!" This time it was Saru, who had been silent, who had been silent, and His Excellency the Deputy Regiment Commander with an angry face suddenly stood up, with a tall and burly body, and he was also very imposing for a while.

As if to deepen his credibility, he slammed the table and said angrily

"Honorable Lord, I protest to you on behalf of the Knights of Glory who are eternally loyal to Your Majesty and loyal to justice, if, I mean, if you really go to the Imperial Capital in person, and no one dares to impose unjust treatment and accusations on you, you can rest assured that you are safe in the Imperial Capital, and the Greatest Knights of the Empire will be your friends!"

Looking at the attitudes of several people, Leo smiled secretly in his heart, with the help of these forces, he must not be too sad in the imperial capital, it seems that he will send some gold coins to the three of them in the next few days to deepen their feelings while they are hot......
