Chapter 276: Oath of Allegiance

Sidney's gaze finally brightened a little, and she looked carefully at the rather sincere Marquis of Leo, and then turned to look at the Rose Knights. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Seeing Sidney looking at her, Dicarus hurriedly said to her, "Your Excellency, Legion Commander, no matter what you decide, we will be by your side to the death!"

"Yes, Legion Commander, rest assured, we are not those cowardly Wind Knights, we will always be with you!" said the Rose Knights. Sidney's eyes moistened a little at hearing these words, these lovely knights should not and did not deserve to die in vain for themselves.

Leo sighed in his heart that Sidney's charm was so great that so many knights of extraordinary skill were willing to die for her, and this woman's value seemed to be far greater than he expected.

"Yes, I promise you, as long as you can guarantee that what you say is true and that we can all live, I will swear allegiance to you!" Sidney finally made the decision to let these loyal followers live, even if she endured humiliation.

"Haha! Great, it's a pleasure to have the allegiance of the Rose Knights! Captain Sidney, rest assured, you will be treated as you deserve, and I will select men to rebuild the Rose Knights in the future." Leo heard that Sidney had agreed to his offer, and hurriedly and excitedly agreed.

Sidney and the remaining seven rose knights knelt on one leg in front of Leo, and according to the customs of this continent, Leo drew his long sword and touched Sidney's shoulder three times with the spine of the sword, and asked, "Under the witness of the god of knights, are you willing to swear allegiance to me, and be my loyal knight for the rest of your life, and serve me with your courage, force, and wisdom?"

Sidney and the Rosenknights replied, "I, Sidney Clovis, swear allegiance to my lord, Marquis Leo Covenas, and I am loyal to me. ”

After swearing allegiance, the Rose Knights truly joined Leo's command, and Leo also trusted the integrity of these knights, and temporarily arranged for the Rose Knights to be responsible for training the goblin soldiers, and then arrange for the rebuilding of the Knights after returning to the north.

Naturally, Leo was very happy to receive the allegiance of the Rose Knights, but he did not expect that these Rose Knights would also become an excuse for the Imperial nobles to attack him.

Ten days later, Leo and his party finally returned to the imperial capital. In order to avoid misunderstanding among the Imperial Capital garrison, Karaxiu and its Goblin Legion naturally could not enter the city, so Leo arranged for the Baodong Flower Scum and the Holy Army soldiers to watch them return to the northern frontier first. Leo only brought Feng Xifan and the Rose Knights into the city, while Mage Merlin stayed in the south to be responsible for co-opting and buying those Lorraine magicians, and did not come back with Leo at all.

After Leo entered the city, he did not go to the palace to meet the emperor first, but returned to his mansion, first talked to Ney, and inquired about the recent changes in the imperial capital. In front of Leo, Ney hesitated slightly, but then concealed the conspiracy of those imperial magnates.

In Ney's opinion, no matter how loyal and capable Leo is to the Varu Empire, he is just a loyal dog in the eyes of the Varu Emperor.

At the moment when Leo entered the city, not only the Duke of Solo of the Ministry of Supervision received the news, but almost all the nobles in the imperial capital who were more concerned about Leo received the news that the Marquis of Leo had entered the imperial capital, and Duke Rawls immediately began to connect the powerful ministers who were related to his interests, and Nathaniel of the Imperial Senate also hurriedly went to Duke Solo to discuss.

"Don't you know, don't you know that the Duke of Rawls's gang is getting more and more angry now?" asked Nathaniel as soon as he entered the door.

"What can we do?" said Duke Solo's emaciated face, twitching slightly, with some bitterness.

"Why don't you go and defend Leo to His Majesty the Emperor, Leo is a powerful minister of the Empire, and if someone like him is slandered, then who will serve the Empire again?" said Nathaniel unrelentingly.

"Old friend Nathaniel, haven't you noticed yet? Our Emperor Majesty is no longer the simple third prince he used to be, he is now the Emperor Majesty who is high above, and all he has to think about is how to keep his throne. His Majesty the Emperor has not asked me about this matter at all, and the Senate, which is in charge of administering the rewards of the nobles, has not been notified by His Majesty the Emperor!" Duke Solo made an extremely rare effort to sink his straight waist into the back of his velvet chair behind his back.

"You mean to say, Your Majesty the Emperor?...... No, it can't be!" Nathaniel understood what Duke Solo meant, but he didn't want to believe it.

"Not only the Marquis of Leo, but even you and me, who are in charge of the Ministry of Supervision and the Senate, His Majesty the Emperor are also wary. Otherwise, Rawls would not have been allowed to jump up and down and ignore the Ministry of Supervision at all. "Judging from the Emperor's series of abnormal signs, Duke Solo deduced a possibility, His Majesty the Emperor no longer trusts these old ministers who assisted him in his succession, and he wants to take all the power into his own hands.

"So, what then?" Nathaniel also panicked, these old men have been loyal to the empire and the royal family all their lives, and they never thought that they would one day be taboo by His Majesty the Emperor.

"Alas, let's take one step at a time, and if you can't do it, you can get out in time. As for Leo...... It can only depend on his own luck!I hope our Emperor His Majesty will not be too ruthless!" Duke Solo sighed heavily, and his whole person looked much older.

Contrary to Duke Solo, Duke Rawls is now refreshed. The Marquis of Leo has returned, and the long-planned thing can finally begin. After learning that His Majesty the Emperor would summon Leo in the Great Hall early tomorrow morning, Duke Rawls could hardly contain his excitement.

Early the next morning, Leo went to the palace and attended the regular court meeting in the Great Hall.

Gavin XIII sat high on the throne in the middle, looking at Leo in the crowd of courtiers, his eyes narrowed slightly, his pupils contracted, and the expression on his face was a little stiff, not knowing whether to cry or laugh. From the bottom of his heart, Gavin XIII is still a little struggling, after all, Leo can be regarded as the best person in the world for him, if there is no Leo, let alone inherit the throne, it is a question of whether he can survive or not. But now Leo has threatened his throne, which makes Gavin XIII have to deal with Leo ruthlessly, and he will never tolerate anyone who can threaten his hard-won throne.
