Chapter 53: Returning Home

On the edge of the aristocratic district of the imperial capital, in the mansion of Viscount Covenas, in the study covered by thick velvet curtains, Viscount Covinus was frowning and listening to Brown's return: "Lord Viscount, the news that our people inquired about from the Ministry of Supervision is that Young Master Frank has been taken back to the imperial capital by the Ministry of Supervision, and he is currently being detained in the cell of the Ministry of Supervision on charges of ...... It's ......"

"What is the crime?

"Yes...... Be...... Young Master Frank is accused of murdering the Crown Prince! Baron Cullen, who is guilty of the same crime, has been stripped of his title and fief by the Senate. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Murdering the Crown Prince? How is this possible? Frank can't do such an unwise thing! Who is this who is framing Frank?" Brown found out that the viscount was surprised, if it was other crimes, as long as he opened up this old face and walked around, he could be fished out, but when it came to the crown prince, it was not something that a little viscount of his own could touch.

"This ...... I heard that when he was in the southern counterinsurgency army, Young Master Frank ordered Young Master Leo of the reconnaissance battalion to go to the south to reconnoiter the enemy situation as his own military mage. After Young Master Leo completed his mission and returned to the camp, Young Master Leo deliberately set a trap to frame Young Master Frank for pretending military orders and snatching military merits. What no one expected was that the true identity of Young Master Leo's friend turned out to be Prince Raymond, and Young Master Frank was accused by Prince Raymond, and the evidence was irrefutable and was arrested and imprisoned on the spot. Brown looked up and said what he had fabricated.

"And I heard that last night the vice president of the Academy of Magic personally went to the Imperial Supervision Department to inquire about this, but it is said that his face was ugly when he came out, and after returning home, he broke several pieces of porcelain that he cherished on weekdays. ”

"Phew!" Brown's words made Viscount Covinas gasp again, if even the vice president of the Academy of Magic couldn't do anything, then Frank was really bad luck this time. This series of bad news made Viscount Covinas, who was still shrewd in the past, confused for a while.

"The matter of the two young masters fighting has spread all over the streets and alleys of the imperial capital, and the recent aristocratic salon parties have not sent invitations to our house, and it is estimated that many people are planning to keep their distance, and if this continues, I am afraid that our Covinus family will become the laughing stock of the entire empire. Although Brown's attitude remained respectful, his words pierced Viscount Covenas's heart and lungs like a sharp sword.

Viscount Covenas, who had always been not very good in his own bones, was even more pale at this time, and his eyes had lost their brilliance, if it weren't for the luxurious clothes on his body, he would have said that he was an old man on the side of the street who was about to die.

Seeing that the viscount was a little distracted and didn't respond for a long time, a sinister smile appeared on Brown's lowered face: "Your Covinus family also has today! Take your time, Frank is only the first!"

"Lord Viscount, in fact, there is no way for us to rescue Master Frank now. ”

Brown's words rekindled a ray of life from Viscount Covenas, who had fallen into despair: "Oh, Brown, what do you have a good idea?

"In fact, this series of events is all caused by Young Master Leo, if it weren't for Young Master Leo, Young Master Frank would not have been framed by design, not to mention that the reason why Crown Prince Raymond bit Young Master Frank and insisted on convicting him must also be convicted, I'm afraid he also wants to help Young Master Leo get angry, and now the most critical person is Young Master Leo. If you really want to save Young Master Frank, then the Viscount only needs to say that Young Master Leo is moving, and it is estimated that the crown prince's side should not be a problem. Brown's idea made Viscount Covinus first happy, then frozen, and all hope turned into a sigh.

"The two young masters are fighting, for you, the palm of your hand is meat, and the back of your hand is also meat, and the most difficult thing is you, master. If you want to protect Young Master Frank, Young Master Leo will definitely hate you, but if you choose Young Master Leo, then Young Master Frank will probably be more than lucky!" Brown's idea is tantamount to a glass of poisoned wine, no matter which one you choose, you must give up the other, but for the current Viscount of Covennas, there is no better way.

"Alas, Brown, you go for a trip, please ask Master Leo to come back, and say that I have something important to see him!" Viscount Covinas thought left and right, and then reluctantly ordered Brown.

As expected, you chose Frank and gave up Leo, who had the most potential, what a mediocre old man with no eyes, and wasted so many years of my father's faithful service to you. Brown thought to himself as he exited the Viscount's study.

This is also the habitual thinking brought about by the impression that Viscount Covinus has solidified over the years, and the love for his eldest son Frank, Frank's unique magical talent has never disappointed Viscount Covenas, and in the Viscount's heart, only Frank is the successor he identifies. As for Leo, Viscount Covinas never had any hope for him from the beginning to the end, and Brown secretly removed Leo's incredible performance from the news of the viscount, and Brown deliberately induced the viscount to think that Leo was still that immature waste.

As long as the Viscount's hand expels Leo from the Covinus family, who is becoming more and more rebellious, it will be much easier to deal with Frank, who is narrow-minded and arrogant, and as soon as Viscount Covinas returns to heaven, he can get rid of Frank with his hands and feet, and then everything in the Covinus family will naturally be in Brown's pocket. It has to be said that Brown's conspiracy is likely to come to fruition, and now things are going in the direction Brown wants.

Viscount Kovinas's message was soon delivered to Leo, and even if he was reluctant, Leo had to return to his so-called home to meet his so-called father.

This time back to the Covenus Mansion, Leo is still accompanied by an old servant Feng Xifan, but unlike the previous expulsion, this time he can be called a return to his hometown, whether it is the porter at the door or the maid at home, they are all respectful, and even the bold and coquettish stepped forward to hint at teasing a few words, after all, Leo is now an official canonized baron of the empire, if he can climb this high branch, it may be more difficult to become a baroness than to ascend to the sky, but to be a housekeeper in the baron's mansion will be a little better than the current status of a maid。

The sudden enthusiasm of these people made Leo a little uncomfortable, and Leo was not the kind of person who could read the flowers left and right, but as a man, his heart was still a little dark.

Brown was already waiting for Leo in the hall of the mansion, and seeing Leo's arrival at this moment, Brown's heart flashed a trace of heat, the plan has been launched, Leo will be the first victim of the Covinus family, and then it will be the turn of the Viscount and Frank, and the surname here will be changed to Stritch in the near future.

"Master Leo, it's been a long time, you've always been okay?" Brown stepped forward to salute Leo with a false feeling.

Looking at the respectful Brown in front of him, Leo felt a little embarrassed, after all, his father was killed by Feng Xifan, and when he saw Brown, Leo always felt a little awkward in his heart.

Seeing that Leo didn't speak, he seemed to notice the discomfort in Leo's heart, and Feng Xifan, who had been silently following Leo behind, spoke: "No need to be polite, Viscount Kevinas summoned Young Master Leo back to meet, we'd better go and see the Viscount Master first!"

"Yes, yes!" Brown replied without any disapproval: "The viscount is waiting for the young master in the study on the second floor now, please go up by yourself, this old man, please wait in the hall." ”

After Leo nodded to Feng Xifan, he went up to the second floor by himself.

Viscount Covenas's study was still so oppressive and dreary, the heavy velvet curtains almost covered most of the windows, only a few sparse rays of sunlight projected through the cracks in the curtains, and the dust in the air was scattered in the sunlight.

"Ahem, come in!" Viscount Covinas, who heard the knock at the door, awoke from his deep contemplation, coughed heavily, and then summoned Leo in.

When Leo pushed open the door and saw Viscount Covenas, he couldn't believe that the person with snow-white hair and wrinkles in front of him was his father.

"Father, you want to see me?!" Leo didn't say much, he really didn't know what to say to his former father.

"Yes, Leo!" said Viscount Covinas with a slight pause, as if to organize his own language. "Ever since the Archduke of the South declared a rebellion, between you and Frank...... , especially you, Leo, you are no longer as mediocre and obscure as before, and the changes in you are simply beyond my expectations, and I can't believe it!"

"So, my son, won't you explain to me what is going on with all this series of changes around you?" Viscount Kovinas's haggard face showed a fierce color, and his wrinkled and sad face was frighteningly bright.

"That old servant beside you, that elite soldier, and your series of actions in the South, don't you explain to me what the hell is going on?!" the viscount's voice grew higher.

Leo was not shaken by the Viscount's questioning, although the Viscount glared at him so sternly, gloomy and depressed study environment, and under strict questioning, he was afraid that he would have confessed to someone else a long time ago, but Leo knew in his heart that all this could not be explained to the Viscount at all, did he want to tell him that he was not his son at all, but the earthlings occupied by the magpie's nest?

Not to mention whether the viscount would believe all this, but these are the most secret secrets in Leo's heart, and he will never tell anyone, so the current Leo didn't pay attention to the viscount's stern questioning, and lowered his head as if he wanted to sort out the lines on the carpet without saying a word.
