Facing Princess Gina's eyes, Duke was suddenly stunned, he had thought of countless ways to talk nonsense and dump the pot before, anyway, in the final analysis, it was a sentence, that is, no matter what he said, he would not admit it.

But in the face of Princess Jina's trust and this direct question of "yes" and "no", Duke didn't know how to answer. Because he can't deceive Princess Jena, and many things can be deceived for a while, but he can't be deceived for a lifetime!

The two of them looked at each other like this, Duke didn't say his answer for a long time, Princess Jina was still flustered in her heart, she was afraid that Duke would say the answer she didn't dare to hear, if this was the case, Princess Jina didn't know how to face the next situation.

To lie or not to deceive? Duke is also very entangled in his heart, it can be said that he has no psychological burden to deceive anyone in this world, but in the face of a Ji Na who firmly believes in himself in this situation, Duke really doesn't know how to tell his lies.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, now you believe that everything in Duke before was a lie!"

Teucer said something next to him at this time, and Princess Gina had begun to vaguely understand, and Duke had even seen that her eyes were full of tears and disappointment.

Faced with such a situation, Duke sighed deeply in his heart, since he had already reached this point, he didn't want to deceive Ji Na anymore.

Just as he was about to speak, a scene that Duke never expected happened, and Duke Otto had already spoken: "Okay, this matter is over, all the casualties of the Northern Army will be reported to His Majesty by me, and all the responsibilities will be borne by me!"

After Duke Otto said this, he walked directly in front of Marquis Patton and said, "Marquis Patton, you have no opinion on my suggestion. ”

Duke Otto's tone was very cold, and it could even be said that it was threatening. In fact, he probably understood what happened in his heart, that is, Marquis Patton revealed the march route of the Storm Army to the barbarians or the Hans Empire, which would cause Duke to be forced to fight back for the survival of the Storm Army.

And Duke Otto knew better in his heart that the Marquis of Barton alone had absolutely no courage to do such a thing, and there was an order from a more powerful person behind him, and this person was only Emperor Henry VII of France. At this time, Duke Otto also felt a kind of sadness in his heart, but he didn't expect that he had regressed and tolerated to this point, and Henry VII still didn't plan to let him go, and even attacked his son.

It's just that Duke Otto can't explain these things, Duke has all the achievements he has today, and he relies on himself, not because of his own Principality of Berry and the Lion Army behind him. It can be said that everything that Duke has suffered today is an unwarranted disaster, and his father not only did not help his son, but on the contrary, he also harmed Duke because of this identity.

Originally, the Marquis of Barton and they were all confident, so they waited for Duke to admit it himself, and then they could tell Emperor Fran to ask for it. As a result, I never expected that Duke Otto would suddenly stand up at this time and declare the matter over.

If it were any other person, Marquis Patton would not give this face, nor would he accept any threats. But Duke Otto spoke, not to mention the Marquis of Patton, even the Emperor of France had to give this face, or directly choose to go to war with the Duchy of Berry.

After more than a year of garrisoning the Duchy of Berry, Marquis Patton also roughly knew the strength that Duke Otto currently had, and the main force of the lion army led by himself alone exceeded 30,000 people, of which 20,000 were cavalry troops.

Now I don't know where the Silver Moon Army came out of nowhere, but it actually hides the strength of 10,000 cavalry, and the infantry is estimated to have 10,000 numbers. As for the other son, Tork, it is estimated that there should be no less than 10,000 Maple Leaf Army, as well as this inexplicable Duke Storm Army, the combined strength of the entire Otto family may have reached the stage of being on two feet with the French Empire.

Cutting the feudal domain is not a simple matter, and Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty, who cut the feudal domain back then, and finished cutting himself, is a living example. Of course, Henry VII of this era will not know, but the history of nobles replacing the throne in this world does not know how many times it has happened on the continent of Europa, and before weakening Duke Otto, he must not be forced to rebel, which is the bottom line of the French royal family.

"Since Duke Otto has said so, of course I respect your husband, Lord Duke, and this matter will end here. ”

After the Marquis of Patton said this, he walked out of the camp directly, because he was also more aggrieved here, and the weakening of the central power no longer had enough strength and prestige in the face of the local officials.

After seeing them all out, Duke Otto glanced at Duke and sighed heavily, but he didn't say anything, but led the generals of the Lion Army out of the camp.

As the irrelevant personnel walked out, there were only two people left in the entire camp, Duke and Princess Jina, Princess Jina was still staring at Duke with a pair of eyes at this time, she wanted to get an answer from Duke.

"Duke, you told me that the route map of the march of the Northern Legion was not leaked by you to the barbarians and the Hans Empire. ”

Princess Gina asked this question again, and at the same time, the tears on her face also remained, Duke looked at Jina like this, and finally gritted her teeth and replied, "I did it." ”

Hearing Duke admit it directly, Princess Jina's body was obviously shocked, and then she subconsciously took a step back, looked at Duke with an incredible look and said, "Why, why are you doing this!"

"In order to survive, I don't do this, either I die, or I disobey the order to kill back from the Northern Legion and bear the fate of disobedience. ”

"How is it possible, the right flank of the Storm Army is the safest route. ”

Princess Gina still didn't believe what Duke said, let alone him, even Duke himself hadn't thought about such a situation before he heard it. Even Duke Otto only connected the cause and effect when Duke named the Marquis of Barton by name.

"Is it safe?"

With a wry smile on his face, Duke continued: "Jena, I said before that Marquis Patton leaked the Storm Army's march route, not to refute or slander, but to confirm it with the Hans Black Eagle Army. And the mastermind of this matter is not the Marquis of Barton, it is your father Henry VII who really decides this matter!"
