Chapter 279: Intolerable

Even if he was taken away by Count Andy Edmund, Leo didn't think it was a big deal, and the Supervision Department was not a tiger's den, and they didn't have any real evidence. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf it really frames the heroes, it will have a huge impact on the prestige of the Varu royal family, and Raymond will have to think about it even if he doesn't care about the old feelings.

However, although Leo was accurate to Gavin XIII's thoughts, he did not know that in the eyes of the Duke of Rawls and other magnates, there was no room for him, a new aristocrat who suddenly appeared. Don't look at the vastness of the Varu Empire, but due to the hundreds of years of inheritance, the noble lineage within the empire is messy, and most of the resources have been divided, and now a Leo has suddenly appeared, which has brought great pressure to the old nobles of the Varu Empire.

When Leo was just a baron, he was just a small landowner in the countryside in the eyes of the imperial aristocracy, and he didn't take it seriously at all; when Leo became an earl, everyone would marvel at the good luck of this hillbilly; and after Leo was promoted to the marquis, he was really valued by those big families, after all, the local nobles with a fief in a city already had enough capital to gain a foothold in the aristocracy. But Leo's heels have not yet stood firm, and he once again made a special feat, if he is rewarded according to military merits, then the title of a duke cannot run away, but this moment it can touch the interests of most nobles.

The fundamental reason why Duke Rawls was able to connect a considerable number of nobles so quickly was that Leo had not yet been accepted by the aristocracy, so he stepped into the sky and stood in a position that everyone needed to look up to, and the rewards that needed to be given to him would also touch the interests of other families, so when most of the nobles in the empire stood on opposite sides of Leo, as the emperor, Gavin XIII had to think a lot more, and at this time, all the shortcomings and mysteries of Leo would be infinitely magnified, causing the emperor to be suspicious of him.

Instead of taking Leo back to the Ministry of Justice, Count Andy Edmund escorted him to a bluestone building. Leo looked at it slightly, it was obvious that it was a prison cell, and Leo said angrily: "Count Andy Edmund, what do you mean by this, why are you sending me to a prison cell, what right do you have to do this!"

Count Andy Edmund sighed softly, and said to him with smugness and disdain: "By the will of His Majesty the Emperor, Leo Covinus is suspected of treason and is temporarily placed under investigation. If you know each other, you'd better explain it honestly and happily, or you'll have to suffer a lot!"

"What nonsense! You are deliberately framing!" Li Ao was angry, but unfortunately the swords of several Imperial City Praetorian Guard soldiers next to him were pointed at him, so that he did not dare to make the slightest move. Seeing Leo's angry appearance, Count Andy Edmund laughed a few times, waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to push Leo into the cell and take him into custody.

It was only at this time that Leo's heart was really dead to Gavin XIII, and it seemed that Gavin XIII really no longer cared about the old feelings, and was bent on putting his own high-ranking person to death. This kind of thing is not uncommon among the monarchs and ministers of the past dynasties, Li Shimin, Zhao Kuangyin, Zhu Yuanzhang, Yongzheng and other emperors are all slaughtered after ascending the throne.

Leo was speculating about Gavin XIII's thoughts, and Gavin XIII was thinking about what to do with Leo. The summer nights are unusually hot, the overcast skies look like a rainstorm, and the oppressive air does not move, turning the already humid weather into a big steamer.

Gavin XIII grabbed the teacup on the table with some impatience and poured a large sip of herbal tea, but he could not remove the irritability in his heart. Leo was like a thorn in his throat, it hurt if he moved him, and there would be a lot of trouble if he didn't move.

"Your Majesty, Senator Nathaniel of the Imperial Senate asks to see you!" a chamberlain walked in, cautiously reporting.

"Nathaniel, what is he doing here, no!" Gavin XIII is now upset when he hears these old courtiers, these senators rely on their deep qualifications and control all aspects of the empire, and repeatedly hinder in the court, so Gavin XIII has a feeling that he can't stretch his hands and feet, so Gavin XIII is extremely dissatisfied with these old courtiers.

Just as the chamberlain turned to walk out of the palace, Gavin XIII suddenly stopped him: "Wait! Let him in!"

The chamberlain was stunned for a moment, but immediately bowed down and went out, and after a while he ushered in the patriarch Nathaniel.

"No need to be polite, Patriarch Nathaniel, there must be something wrong with you coming so late!" Gavin XIII waved his hand, stopping Nathaniel's salute.

Nathaniel grabbed Duke Solo after the court meeting, otherwise he would be involved, but Leo couldn't ignore it, so the patriarch Nathaniel planned to come forward himself and probe His Majesty the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, I am here for the Marquis of Leo, in fact, Your Majesty and the ministers understand that the Marquis of Leo has always been loyal to the country, and this time he even brought back the magic academy of the Lorraine Kingdom and made a great contribution to the Paris Empire, I don't know why Your Majesty wants to take down the Marquis of Leo?

Leo ...... The ambiguous relationship between Leo and the Holy Griffin Empire is very suspicious, when the Arbitration Group came to the imperial capital, the demeanor between Prince Grantham and Leo of the Holy Griffin Empire was not right, and Prince Grantham had a private meeting with Leo before leaving, and the appearance of skilled cavalrymen under Leo, and even the griffin appeared this time, doesn't it explain the relationship between him and the Holy Griffon Empire?" Gavin XIII was not so much speaking to the Senator Nathaniel as he was trying to convince himself.

"But Your Majesty, don't forget, it was Leo who led you to make meritorious deeds, and you who were snubbed only entered the eyes of the first emperor, if there was no Leo, I am afraid that you are only the third prince, and our empire may have fallen into the hands of the Hou Party. The patriarch of Nathaniel was in a hurry, but he said the wrong thing.

"Yes, Leo helped me to ascend to the throne, but I did not treat him badly, from the baron, the count, the marquis, I never hesitated to reward, these are enough to make up for his merits!" Gavin XIII's eyes gleamed, and Nathaniel's words touched his heart. That's right, without Leo, he can only be the third prince living in the shadows. However, now that he has become the emperor of the empire, the emperor who is praised and feared by thousands of people, he does not want to live in the shadow of Leo, and he does not want to mention Leo and everyone will say that there is no Leo, and His Majesty is just a prince with no name.

The Varu Empire can't tolerate Leo, the nobles of Varu can't tolerate Leo, and most importantly, as the Emperor of the Varu Empire, he can't tolerate Leo.
