Chapter 503: Misunderstanding
Looking at Princess Sophia's delicate face like a rose, and her beautiful eyes like water, Leo said no, but he still felt a dry mouth. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Hearing Leo's refusal, Princess Sophia's face couldn't help but show a look of disappointment, she curled her fleshy red lips, and her beautiful eyebrows were tightly frowned.
"Your Excellency, do you think that I am not beautiful enough, do you think that the dowry of the Northern Province is not enough?" asked Sophia, who looked at Leo with her fingers wrenched together and looked at Leo sadly.
"No, Your Highness Princess Sophia, your beauty is the only one I have ever seen in my life, and there is no woman more beautiful than you, but your beauty is not the decisive condition for marriage. In fact, I think you must be aware of the grievances between the Paris Empire and the Principality of Pritz. This is not something that can be resolved by a simple marriage, since my first encounter with the Knights of Glory, there has been a deep enmity with the Empire of Paris, countless valiant warriors have died in the war between our two countries, and if I agree to the marriage and give up the attack, even if I have to face those dead warriors?" replied Leo in a rhetorical manner.
However, his words were not accepted by Princess Sophia, and she secretly hated in the princess's heart, whether it was the three major knights or the five legions, the Paris Empire was the one who suffered heavy losses, and if you want to say that the sacrifice was also the most sacrificed by the Paris soldiers, how many people died in your Principality of Pritz! But these words obviously cannot be declared, and Princess Sophia's face is still weak and sad.
"You're right, that's why I'm proposing marriage to ease the relationship between our two countries, and I don't want more people to be hurt again. I'm sure your people don't like war, and peace is what we all want, don't you?"
Princess Sophia's words made Leo speechless for a while, and the princess pretended to be innocent and blocked Leo not knowing how to answer. I can't tell her directly, I don't need any marriage, I don't need any peace, what I want is to kill the entire Paris Empire, and I want to be the emperor.
Just when Leo was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer, suddenly there was a commotion outside the tent, and after a few fights, the tent curtain was opened, and Sidney walked in from outside with a cold face. At the moment when the curtain was lowered, he vaguely saw several Princess Sophia's guards lying at the feet of the knight chief Dicarus, and it was obvious that Sidney had broken in.
For Sidney's hard break, Leo didn't think it was a little surprised, Sidney came at the right time, just to resolve the embarrassment just now. However, Princess Sophia's reaction surprised Leo even more.
"Sister Sidney!" heard Princess Sophia's coquettish voice, and the sad look on her face swept away, and her eyes were full of surprise.
Sidney ignored Princess Sophia's affectionate greeting, but glared at Leo first, and the resentment, jealousy, and resentment contained in this look made Leo shiver. But then Sidney smiled at Princess Sophia as if she was nothing, leaned over and gave a knightly salute, "Dear Princess Sophia, it's been a long time, are you okay?"
Princess Sophia pursed her lips and said complainingly: "How can it be good! You have never returned with the Rose Knights, and my father has issued an edict saying that you have died in battle, and I have been sad for a long time! But then I secretly asked the Knights of the Wind who had escaped back, and they all said that you did not die in battle, but surrendered! But surrender if you surrender, anyway, you are alive!"
Sophia's concern warmed Sidney's heart, but then she saw Leo standing behind Sophia, and the resentment in her heart rose again, and she forced her jealousy to ask Princess Sophia: "I also just came here, I heard that you are here for peace talks, how can His Majesty the Emperor be willing to let your precious daughter come out to negotiate!
Sidney's words were there, and Leo could only smile bitterly as he touched his nose on the side. He could hear the meaning of Sidney's words, and he was obviously dissatisfied with the marriage, but Leo couldn't explain it in front of Princess Sophia now, so he could only keep silent, planning to find a separate opportunity to explain it to Sidney later.
However, as soon as Leo was planning, he heard Princess Sophia's voice say: "Oh, there is no way! Who made Archduke Leo too powerful, and beat our Paris Empire to lose troops, there is really no way, so I have to come to sue for peace, hoping that through marriage, I can soothe the anger in the heart of Archduke Leo! But I didn't expect that Archduke Leo is really good, then I will be the queen of Pritz, and our sisters can be together again!"
Princess Sophia's words made Leo almost darken, your sister, I didn't agree at all, okay? You are a good person? Your whole family is a good person! Who said you are Queen Pritz, don't make a claim, okay?
Sure enough, as Leo expected, a pair of cold eyes like arrows shot straight out of Sidney's eyes, if the gaze could kill, Leo would have been in a thousand holes. With a wry smile, Leo had to quickly explain: "That...... Princess Sophia, don't make such jokes, the marriage is ......"
Before Leo could finish speaking, Sophia immediately interrupted him: "Oh, Leo! It's okay, Sister Sidney is my good sister, we can be said to have grown up together, and there is no need to hide the marriage from her." ”
As soon as these words came out, Leo felt a sweetness in his throat, and he almost couldn't help squirting out a mouthful of old blood, and his whole breath was a little unstable. Looking at Sidney's face again, it was wonderful, a beautiful face was already covered with dark clouds, and the eyes of the sheared water contained an infinite cold glow like a thunderbolt.
"You...... You...... Who's going to marry you, didn't you hear what I just said? I'm talking ......."
"Oops, oops, okay, okay, okay, you've just finished praising you, and you're starting to be arrogant, and you don't need to be embarrassed in front of Sister Sidney!" Princess Sophia interrupted Leo again, making his argument pale, and making people think that he was weak-hearted.
"Sister Sidney, we haven't seen each other for a long time, let's go out for a walk together, I have a lot to say to you!" Princess Sophia didn't wait for Leo to explain again, and pulled Sidney up and was about to leave.
Sidney gave Leo a fierce look, snorted and followed Sophia out, leaving Leo crying in the tent himself.
