"Alright, Archon Stuart, is there anything else?"

Hearing Leo's question, the face of Archon Sammy Turt, who was still smiling, suddenly darkened, and he cautiously glanced around the office, and whispered as if he was a thief: "Just after you led your troops to the north, some dark mages came to Pridz City, and they kept saying that they wanted to see you on the orders of the Dark Council, and because you were not there at the time, I delayed this matter. But now that you're back, I'm afraid the dark mages will come back to you. ”

"Dark Council?" Leo's first reaction when he heard the name was that they had come to find Joe, the Dark Mage. I just don't know if they have contacted Joe, but Leo is not worried that Joe will betray Pridz, after all, in Pritz City, Joe can rest assured that he can boldly appear in the sun, shopping, chatting, eating, and other things that ordinary people can do, and the magic resources produced by the Dragon Mountains are also given priority to him and Swift, which is also helpful for their magic research, and such days are far from being provided by the Dark Council.

However, Leo still can't underestimate these dark mages, although he has Immorton, Merlin mages and even old Modo around him, but those dark mages are notoriously destructive stars. It may not be possible to let them build, but when it comes to destroying behind the scenes, the dark mages are experts at it. After so many years of fighting with their old rival, the Church of Light, the Dark Council naturally has their own merits.

It's so ironic, just now I had to prepare for the coronation ceremony of the Pope of the Church of Light, but now the Dark Council can't wait to jump out, between black and white, Leo is actually not interested in either side.

Don't look at the Church of Light, who claims to be a believer in the God of Light, and has always regarded itself as a righteous person, and on the surface, there are simple and kind knights of light like Olivia, but in fact, there are many unsightly deeds in secret. And the Dark Council is the other extreme, the Dark Council is listed as an evil organization like the Church of the Dead on the entire continent, and there are many incidents of looting, massacre, and curses, even if it can't be washed, such a notorious organization, Leo naturally doesn't want to have anything to do with it.

"Then drag it out first, anyway, I'll go to the Bright Sect in a while, if they have the ability, go to the Bright Sect to find me!" Leo didn't have any good way, so he had to instruct Sammy Turt to continue to delay.

Sammy Stuart said with a bitter face, "Grand Duke Leo, those dark mages are really weird, and with their inconspicuous reputation, if they keep staying in Pritz City, I am afraid it will cause a certain blow to our reputation. If the ordinary people found out, they might cause panic in the city!"

"Hmm!" Leo said in a deep voice, "Then I will send you the Baodong scum, if those dark mages come again, let the Baodong slag communicate with them, and see whose methods are more weird and evil!"

Archon Sammy Turt had naturally seen the scum of Baodong, but he didn't know his skills, he just thought that this middle-aged man with a sad face was just an ordinary farmer, and he didn't see any ability at all, how could he communicate with the notorious dark mage?

But since Leo said so, Swart could only suppress the doubts in his heart for the time being. Don't look at Leo's young age, but his skills Swart has been taught, since he is so confident in that Baodong scum, then Swart can only choose to believe.

"Anything else?" asked Leo casually.

"No...... No!" Stuart replied quite cooperatively, and the two most difficult things were thrown to Archduke Leo, which made Swart already satisfied. Other matters such as the management of the bear orcs in Pritz City, the problems of financial revenue and expenditure these days, etc., do not need to trouble Archduke Leo for the time being.

But just as Stuart got up and was about to leave, he suddenly asked, "Did you really refuse the marriage of Princess Sophia of the Paris Empire?"

Leo was dumbfounded by this question, wondering how Stuart knew this.

"Actually, although Sidney is not bad, as a king, the origin of the queen is very important. Princess Sophia has always been known for her intelligence, and she has quite unique views on financial and military affairs, and she is really an excellent candidate. If you marry this princess, the Pritz and Paris empires can also be combined. With our powerful military and Paris' thousand-year wealth, we should be able to help you dominate the continent in the shortest possible time. ”

Sammy Stuart, who was born into a military family in the Paris Empire, has always admired the beautiful and intelligent Princess Sophia, believing that only Princess Sophia is a good match for Leo. It can also be heard from his words that although Sidney has a good recommendation for Stuart, and his relationship with Leo is growing, Swart does not think that a woman of unknown origin can take on the role of queen.

The Turt consuls still have the pedantic and rigid and conformist preconceived notions of the old aristocracy. This is also a common problem of all the aristocratic classes in the entire continent, even if Leo rises with a humble status and is between the countries, he is still looked down upon by the nobles of many countries, thinking that he is just a nouveau riche with no background, which is also the real reason why Dick Gus and Commander Sova once looked down on Leo.

Leo was very surprised that Stuart suddenly mentioned Princess Sophia, and had no idea that he would care about his life's affairs. However, Leo did not waver in his decision because of Stuart's words, and he said to Swart in a firm tone: "No, I don't think it's a good idea. How can a man's exploits and achievements be pinned on a woman, and realize his ideals by marrying a princess, that process is meaningless to me. I will take what I want with my own hands, and the people I like will never give up. ”

Without waiting for Stray to say anything more, Leo waved his hand lightly, and the Archon of Tart left, and in desperation, Stour could only turn around and walk out of Leo's office. However, when he stepped out of the office and turned around to close the door, a happy smile appeared on the face of the Archon Stuart.

He waved his hand at Sidney, who was looking at him around the corner of the hallway, and after making an affirmative gesture, the same smile appeared on Sidney's face. If Leo could see it, he would have realized that Stuart was asking on purpose to help Sidney confirm his intentions.
