Volume 3: The Vortex of Strife Chapter 325: The Smell (Part II)
Leon shook his head and said: "I don't know what you're talking about, I don't have anything to get out of my body, even if you want to kill me, it doesn't matter, anyway, when Olbi brought me into the palace, I didn't think that I would leave here alive, as the leader of the rebel army, this is my realization!" Olbi was even more courageous and daring than Clermont, and his unrelenting performance was enough to draw attention to the fact that the Rebels were not an organization that could be destroyed casually.
"That's right, it's the smell of intimacy, I won't be wrong," Yutian put his hands down and his shoulders were loose and weak, "I saw Madame Doulty's gaze at you with my own eyes when the Assassin appeared that day, what is the relationship between you and Madame Doorty?"
"How could it be that it doesn't matter. ”
"Then why do you want to pick up the Duke of Yannes, shouldn't the leader of the rebel army hurt the duke?"
“...”
Leon kept his mouth shut, refusing to reveal any information, and Feyde began to perceive that Rainy Day's doubts were not groundless. The former leader of the rebel army in front of him obviously had an ulterior secret, but what Yu Tian noticed was something that Fei De didn't notice, and Fei De only rushed up to stop Olbi at that time, and didn't care about the eyes and subtle movements of these people at all.
"Duke Yannis is in danger, and there is a smell of resentment around him," Yu Tian changed his words, "The person targeted by the assassin last time was the old Duke Yannis, but this time it is different, this time the person who is in danger is the Duke of Yannis." ”
Leon's eyebrows twitched when he heard that Duke Yannis might be in danger, and he lowered one leg supporting the bed and covered his face with his hands to keep his struggling expression from him.
"Without the protection of Madame Dourty, Duke Yannis is very dangerous, and if I don't have some important information, then it will be difficult for me to tell which direction the danger is coming from. After saying this, the rainy day fell silent, and she waited for about a minute, then suddenly turned around and walked towards the iron door of the cell.
"Wait," Leon suddenly shouted for the rain, and Fidel stopped just as he turned around, "I can tell you the truth, but you must help me protect Yannis." ”
Yutian immediately responded: "Of course, I will do my best." Fett remembers that when he first captured Leon, he had tried to get himself to help him regain power of the Rebels. Now that the rebel organization has fallen apart, and the last of its strength is almost untenable, Leon is estimated to have only some unknown secrets left in his hand.
Ayana guards the iron door, Fidel and Rainy Sky stand at the table in the cell, and Leon looks at one of the stone walls of the cell and reminisces about the past. Madame Dalty was originally the daughter of a very poor peasant family, and Leon was Dalty's neighbor and Dalty's first love. Until one day, Lady Doirty was taken away by a lord who had left a large amount of money to Dolty's family, and Dorty became the lord's daughter. Leon then learned that the lord was suffering because of the death of his beloved daughter, and someone saw that Dorty was very beautiful and cute, so he came up with the idea of using this girl to replace the lord's dead beloved daughter.
Hearing this, Feder had already guessed the rest of the story, because the good-looking Dolty was taken by the old Duke of Yanis, while Leon embarked on the path of the rebel organization for many reasons, one of which must be related to Dolty. As Feder guessed, Leon, as one of the founders of the Rebels, has always had a goal in mind, that is, to snatch back his beloved first love. However, this goal has also become an unfulfilled dream with the passage of time, the Duchy of Mageni is much stronger than imagined, but Leon, who was born as a peasant, does not have great wisdom and strategy, he has to rely on the support of careerists, rely on the support of the people at the bottom, and slowly grow his power under the nose of the old Duke of Yanis.
Later, Leon still met with Dalty, and this meeting was not arranged by Leon, but arranged by Dolty, who had become a duchess, and she told Leon an amazing secret - the old Duke of Yannis could not have children, this secret was only known to a few people, and those few people did not know that Madame Dalty had discovered this secret, so Dorty wanted to "borrow" from Leon. After that meeting, Mrs. Dorty became pregnant, and Leon did not set foot in the Black Swamp again.
The current Duke of Yannis may be Leon's biological son, but Leon also told Fede and Yutian that Dalty was no longer the simple peasant girl he knew, and she would find herself in order to consolidate her position, and she did many things to consolidate her position, including sending someone to assassinate the relatives of the old Duke of Yanis. In order to make the Duke of Yannis the sole heir of the Duchy of Mageni, in order to keep his position as duchess forever. Therefore, Leon did not dare to think that it was his son, and the Duke of Yannis, who did not look exactly like him, might just be the child of Madame Dorty and other men.
The old Duke of Yannis probably did not know that Madame Dourty had deceived him, because Doorty was very good at lying, and this woman once hinted that Leon had attacked a certain area of the duchy, but Leon suffered from Madame Doorty's plot against him, so that the rebel troops were ambushed in that place, and the rebel organization was greatly damaged. Later, Leon didn't see the first love of his childhood sweetheart again, until he heard the plan proposed by Olbi, he was willing to become a hostage, just to take a look at the little duke who might be his son, and also to see Dalty once, but I didn't expect this meeting to really become the last meeting, Dolty died, and Leon finally let go of his grudge against Dalty.
"A woman who has deceived me, and a duke who may be my son, they are my most important people..."Leon could not hold back his tears when he said the emotion, the former leader of the iron-clad rebel army was not only a peasant, but also a man full of tenderness, and Fede and Leon did not have a deep friendship, but he also talked with each other all night long, talking about the people of this land.
Rainy listened quietly to what Leon said, "I can't fully trust you, but you can't be wrong to want to protect Duke Yannis's taste, so I'll trust these past events, because my goals are the same as yours." ”
"You are from the Duchy of Magini, since you know that Duke Yannis is not the son of the old duke, why do you still want to protect him. ”
"I am not protecting him as a person, but the Duchy of Mageni," the head of the Rainy Day immediately responded, "No matter whose son he is, he is the sole heir of the Duchy of Mageni, the old duke's health is getting worse and worse, and now suddenly changing an heir will only make the dangerous Duchy of Mageni easily overthrown, and the country will be in ruins in the invasion war." ”
Fei De never knew what the real intentions of this female leader were, but listening to what she said, she was indeed worthy of the title of "Chief of the Mercenary Guardian Regiment", she was a person who really wanted to protect this principality, but no one was sure whether the Principality of Mageni could stand tall in the face of the siege of many powerful enemies.
Leon opened his eyes, "I don't have any ability to protect anyone, and the current situation in the Duchy of Mageni is not what I want to see. Captain Fidel, if you can, I want you to protect Yannis, and even if he is no longer a duke, I hope he can live well. Leon's words to Fidel surprised him a little, but Fidel nodded anyway - Vittorio had also given him the task of protecting Duke Yanis, and he had already agreed.
By the time I left the cell, it was already the middle of the night, and a light rain had begun to fall in the sky, a level of rain that could turn the swamp outside the city into a deep pool that could not be crossed. Rainy day quickly returned to his barracks with Fidel and Ayana, most of the mercenaries in the barracks of the Rainy Mercenary Regiment left Black Swamp City, and there was only one mercenary outside the camp tent on Rainy Day, and even the work of lighting the lamp had to be done by Rainy Sky himself.
"Captain Fidel, you fought off the bald assassin with me, and you returned to Black Swamp once again to defend the principality and hand over your men to the Southern Army, all of which show your loyalty to the Duchy of Mageni. Now is the critical moment, and I hope you will carefully note down what I am saying now. ”
"Rainy day, captain, please speak. ”
"Old Duke Yannis is the one who smells of resentment, he is full of murderous intent towards Duke Yannis, obviously he already knows that the matter of his old son is a lie, and Madame Dourty has deceived him, so he gives off that smell. ”
"If that's the case, then why hasn't the old duke taken action?"
"There is no time left," there were only two people in the tent at this time, and Ayana stood guard outside the tent, "The old duke's life will burn out, he must still be looking for an heir, but no matter who it is, it can't be his own flesh and blood, so he is hesitant to leave Duke Yanis's life behind." ”
"In other words, the enemy we are going to face is the real ruler of this principality?"
Yutian seemed to shake his head, Fei De was not sure if the stiff neck of the other party could make such a move, "Duke Yannis and the old Duke Yannis can't die, either of them will collapse the Duchy of Magini, and there are some people who will not let go of this opportunity, they are approaching Duke Yannis, they want to drag both dukes into the abyss." ”
"Some..."
Fidel immediately remembered what Levier called the "Knife Donor" plan - if they were the Knife Donors, then the Duke of Yannis was the Knife Bearer. Why did the duke, who was so fond of small animals that he didn't seem to pose any threat, become a knife wielder? What exactly was Levier plotting?
"I'm going to explain the stakes to the old duke myself, and if the other party still smells of resentment, then I can only use the last resort. ”
Fidel began to wonder about Rainy Day's plan, why did Rainy Day want to start with the old duke, not just Duke Yannis, who was just a puppet, when it was clear that the old duke was the one who was really capable of protecting the principality.
"Please tell me why. ”
"For the presence and power of the old duke will only keep the nobles of other regions on the sidelines, and without their forces we cannot win this battle, and without either of the two dukes, we will not be able to win this battle. ”
