Chapter Eighty-Eight: Thoughts
"There's nothing to talk about between us. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info "The count's face is not very good, today he was defeated again at the hands of Leon, or in front of his own territory and strong forces.
"One more thing. Leon doesn't think so.
The count's face sank a little more, he certainly knew what Leon meant.
The end of this event was something the Count had never imagined. If there is no Holy See to join, the earl can leave directly now, and he can completely ignore what the prince will do, and a down-and-out prince who has no money and no power cannot pose a threat to him as a powerful earl.
But with the Holy See, the prince has a trace of capital, and today's events will soon spread throughout the kingdom through the spread of the Holy See, and the impact will not only be as simple as reputation, but most importantly, it will have a great damaging effect on the image of White Mist City, and the loss of business is what the Earl does not want to see.
"Before you leave White Mist City, there will be an understanding of this. "The Count didn't have the heart to sit down and negotiate with the prince, and even in the face of potential pressure from the Holy See, he couldn't put down his position, and he had his own way of doing it.
"Very well, Lord Earl, go slowly. Leon did not continue to stop him, the goal has been achieved, and it is better for the two sides not to have any more disputes.
Seeing the Earl and his party gone, Riley and Emma, who were hiding in the shadows, appeared.
After Chris's relay, the two of them figured out what happened.
They didn't continue to stay in the slums, where sewage flowed sideways, compared to the environment of the town, since they came to White Mist City, the matter was also satisfactorily resolved, of course, they had to go to the most prosperous streets to have a look.
"Your Highness, it turns out that you have planned so many things a long time ago, why didn't you tell us in advance? Emma was the first to express her opinion, and if Riley hadn't calmed down at the time, she would have rushed out, and the outcome would have been completely different today.
"This is also a temporary idea, and I can't explain it for a while, so it's better not to say it. "The festival of the Winter Festival, Leon did not think of it until he arrived in White Mist City, and the matter of the sacrifice was a bold decision that suddenly appeared, originally just in case.
This time Leon is the first time to see the Earl's means, they came to White Mist City, beyond the Earl's expectations, but the Count can still come up with these famous halls in a short time, if he carefully designs, Leon is sure that even with the help of the Holy See today, he will not be able to leave White Mist City for half a step.
"Temporary? So you're kidding everyone's lives?" Emma was a little alarmed, but not screaming, her voice could be heard between the few people.
"I believe that His Highness can still think of a way. Riley chose to support the Prince.
Emma shook her head, Riley was too blind.
Leon just smiled awkwardly, he wasn't sure if he would be able to get out without the excuse of the sacrifice?
"Your Highness, why don't you look happy?" Riley and the Prince walked at the back of the crowd, and she noticed that the Prince's face was squeezing out a little smile from time to time, it was a forced smile.
"Emma has a point, I did get a little carried away when I was in town. Leon didn't answer Riley's question, but was thinking about Emma's words, he didn't intend to hide his feelings, and when facing Riley, he couldn't help but want to reveal his heart, because having someone to talk to by his side is like that.
"Doesn't Your Highness have faith?" Riley looked at Leon with a smile, even if it wasn't a winter festival today, she believed that the prince would be able to get out, and this trust rose from her heart.
"Oh?" Leon didn't expect that he was comforted, at this time, if someone came out to reprimand him, it might be more comfortable, encouragement is an important condition for a person's growth, but timely reminders and admonitions are also indispensable.
"I mean, if it weren't for the Winter Festival, you wouldn't be watching everyone go to jail, would you, so I trust you. Riley explained his reasoning.
Indeed, if there is no sacrifice, he will also find a way to protect everyone's integrity.
Sometimes he really appreciates Riley, who can always see the good in people that others can't.
"So can you tell me why you're unhappy now?" Riley saw the prince's furlen brow, knowing that he was in a better mood.
Leon did have something on his mind, and he was not satisfied with these plans today.
Shure is the town's enemy and a well-known scum in Whitemist City, and it may seem nice to dispose of him by the Count's hand, but Leon doesn't think so.
In order to achieve his own goals, Leon ordered people to steal the sacrifices of the Divine Court, and then blamed Shure for the whole thing, in order to deal with the enemy, these methods may not be despicable, but the long-standing concept of knighthood has made Leon deeply agree that an open duel is the most sacred way.
"Is Your Highness guilty? It is inevitable to deal with someone like Shure, not to mention the Earl watching from the sidelines. Riley didn't know if the prince's approach was controversial in the eyes of others, but she wouldn't have objections. Shure can kill people in order to steal, who knows how many people died in his hands before, not to mention the day when the supplies were burned, if someone was guarding the cabin, I don't know what the consequences would become.
"It's not guilt, it's powerlessness. "Leon doesn't want to play a trick. As long as the Count arrives a little later, the feud between him and Shure can be resolved in another way, and it all depends on strength.
Conspiracy can always be seen in the center of power like the royal capital, Leon has not been in contact with the outside world much, but he still heard a lot about the affairs between ministers, and even himself is a living example.
For the sake of the throne, the current queen mother did not use less conspiracy, sent her second sister away from the royal capital early, and then secretly used tricks to make her marry an earl who did not have much real power. And his own situation is even worse, and slander is not a trivial matter. It is precisely because of living in such an environment for a long time that Leon is very disgusted with people who use insidious schemes, and he wants a fair duel.
"Your Highness, the development of the town is the most important thing now. Under the influence of the prince's ears and eyes, Riley is no longer the little girl who didn't know anything at the beginning, what the prince thinks, what he wants to do, Riley can always guess a little.
"yes, that's the most important thing. Leon inadvertently put his arm around Riley and walked forward, and they had already distanced themselves from Emma's group in front of them.
