"So that's your answer, although I expected it. But I'm still hoping to convince you. Ogereo said with a sigh.

"So what are you going to do next?Ogereau, since you're here to show me off, you must be ready for me to refuse?", Duke Leonard said unhurriedly, and there was really no nervous look on his face.

"Is it a glass of poisoned wine?, or a sword?", Duke Leonard asked directly, he looked around, as if to observe if there was any ambush around, "Isn't it that if you drop your glass in a while, a large number of guards will pour out of this hall to control me?", he looked at the wine glass in Augero's hand, and said half-truth.

"Of course I won't really kill you, after all, the two of us have been friends for many years. If you really don't agree, I can only ask you to stay in the house for a little longer. ", Ogereau replied.

"Then it seems that I really have to bother in your house for a few days. Duke Leonard nodded as if relieved, "I've been entangled in official duties in the army, and I can finally rest for a few days." ”

Ogero looked at Duke Leonard's relaxed appearance, and couldn't help but feel uneasy in his heart, although he knew that Duke Leonard was the kind of hero who didn't change his face when the sword was present, but at this moment his reaction was too calm, calm and frightening.

"Now that you have lost contact, the entire city guard will be in a mess, don't you really care, and you don't care what His Royal Highness the Grand Prince wants?", Augero asked tentatively.

"Do you want me to say it directly? You are trying your best to control me, the general of the city guards, and don't you want to make the city guards fall into chaos and lose their command? In addition, if there is any change in the city, the city guards will not be able to make any timely response. ”

"In this way, isn't the purpose of His Royal Highness the Great Prince obvious? He wants to launch a palace change, right? Leonard said these shocking secrets indifferently, as if he was discussing the weather today at a tea party of the nobles.

"No matter what I say now, you won't stop your plans, will you? Arrows that shoot and can't turn back, you're like a fierce horse running on a cliff, either rushing to your destination in one go, or falling into the bottomless abyss and falling to pieces, aren't you?"

"You don't seem to be worried about that Majesty at all, didn't you just say that you were Your Majesty?" said Augereau, tentatively again.

"Worried about that Majesty? no, no, I never worried about that Majesty, I just followed his orders. Although he could only lie on the bed, his majesty's eyes saw farther and deeper than anyone else, and his heart was wider and wider than all men. ”

Duke Leonard raised the wine glass in his hand and faced the night in front of him, as if to salute that Majesty, "In the eyes of that Majesty, there is more to it than just Shenghui City. ”

......

The conversation between the general of the city guard and the chief of the general staff did not come out again, and people only knew that His Excellency the Duke had uncharacteristically wanted to stay in the mansion of Augereau for a few days after attending the banquet, which naturally became another popular topic in social circles, and people speculated about what kind of means General Augereau used to make Duke Leonard, who had always been known for his old-fashioned and impersonal feelings, linger.

For example, there is a beautiful singer in the palace of General Ogereau, and Duke Leonard simply forgets it, and the old trees bloom new flowers and other crimson rumors can't help but spread. At the tea party and dinner, the gentlemen and ladies could not help but smile when they talked about it, after all, for these nobles, such a scarlet rumor was not only not a stain, but a kind of interesting anecdote, and some gentlemen were even proud of it, in their opinion, conquering beauty is where their masculine charm lies.

In this way, after a few days, the rumors about Duke Leonard settled down, and the hot topic in the social circle became that the Marquis of the North once again courted Princess Sophia, the most beautiful violet in Shenghui City, and Princess Sophia rejected the gossip news again.

The lights of Hawley are still bright at night, and the nobles are still indulging in pleasures day and night, as if the city of Divine Radiance is no different from before, and it is still a city of sin that "violates the precepts of the gods".

The nobles enjoyed the legacy of their ancestors, the clergy preached the sanctity of the gods, the commoners toiled to humble themselves, and the bureaucrats racked their brains to climb upwards, so much so that the easily forgotten thought that the city would always be like this, and it would always be so, and it would never change.

"But from tonight onwards, the entire Radiant City will be different. At this time, one person thought in the dark night.

"After tonight, the city, and the country, will have a more cheerful master, and all will fall on their knees and whisper the name of the new king. ”

In the silence of the night, in the silence of the night, on the avenue where the gate of the Hawley district near the Manny district was located, a pitch-black carriage abruptly crossed the middle of the avenue, like a domineering mountain king, and arrogantly announced that "this road is not passable", but fortunately this avenue has always been inhabited, and the nobles would not deign to pass through this gate, and no one corrected the behavior of this carriage so strong.

In front of the carriage, there was a row of men in black standing firmly, blocking the entire road tightly, all of them with indifferent faces, holding the hilt of their swords, and their eyes contained murderous aura, looking ready to fight at any time. Seeing that they were standing like nails in this cold wind, and they didn't move, it can be seen that these people are all elite experts, but I don't know what so many people are going to do when they stand on the avenue in the middle of the night.

In front of this row of people, there were two people, also dressed in black, but their figures were far worse than these heroes. One of them had already fallen into shape, and the other coughed twice in the cold wind from the north.

"Your Highness, why don't you go to the carriage to take shelter from the wind?", one of them suggested, he is the confidant of His Highness Lance Grievous, Gletchev, and his Highness is naturally the Great Prince.

The eldest prince shook his head, his excited and excited eyes staring at the door in front of him, "No, I want to see this gate open with my own eyes." ”
