Chapter 523: Wonderful Acting
I have to say that King Pique's acting skills are still very superb, at least Leo and Nick have been moved by his words. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Pique~" Nick softly called out the name of his twin brother, although Pique had done some wrong things before, but his starting point was for Lorraine, for the Fairman royal family. From the point of view of a king or an older brother, Pique is actually very competent.
And now that Pique has realized the mistakes he made, and apologized so sincerely, and even chose to abdicate voluntarily in order to make up for his mistakes, how can such sentiments not move Nick?
"No, Pique! I can't accept such a throne!" Nick was surprised to flatly reject Pique's abdication.
As soon as Nick's words fell, the facial muscles on Pique's face twitched slightly, and an imperceptible sneer appeared on his lowered face, and Nick's reaction happened to be in Pique's calculations.
"I'm very self-aware of my abilities, I'm not a person who can calm down and do things, I like to live freely and don't want to be bound by the throne. Besides, in fact, I can't do that kind of government at all. So, there's no one else who is best suited for this throne but you, Pique!"
As Pique expected, Nick did not covet the throne, and it could even be said that the throne was a constraint and a burden in his eyes. If Pique does abdicate, then Nick will have a headache!
Once Nick is done, Leo is left. According to Pique's understanding of Leo, this guy eats soft rather than hard, and the more he suppresses, the stronger he becomes. The Covenus family is a living example of this. The result of the confrontation with Leo, now Pique has a deep understanding, this guy is simply not human, I don't know where to find such a group of powerful perverted guys.
The four of them destroyed the palace guards they had carefully built, and even the dark mages brought by Mage Edwin didn't play a big role. Any one of these four people is enough to become the god of the town, and they all gathered around Leo and obeyed the orders of a small duke, which ...... How can this not make Pique jealous and hateful?
Bowing his head to a little man who had to rely on the Kingdom of Lorraine to get a place to live was the greatest humiliation for Pique in Pique's opinion. But now, Pique is tired of recovery and can only choose to bow his head and forbear.
Now that Pique is actively plotting to kill Leo, it is a difficult problem to get Leo not to hold him accountable. Pique's eyes were rolling, and he was secretly thinking about whether to impress Leo with his past friendships, or to dissuade Leo in the name of righteousness. Anyway, the key is to stabilize Leo as soon as possible.
"Alas, Leo, I know it's hard for you to accept this, but you must know that the Kingdom of Lorraine can be without King Pico or Nick, but the southern gate of Lorraine cannot be lost. The reason why my father handed over the city of Pritz to you back then was to ask you to guard the frontier for Lorraine, so that Lorraine could recuperate, I think you must understand this!" Peake said to Leo with a righteous face.
"I know that with your ability, being bound to the Kingdom of Lorraine is purely overkill, but whether you create or seize the Paris Empire by yourself, Prizz is always an inseparable part of the Kingdom of Lorraine, even if you want to set up your own portal, then at least return Pritz City to Lorraine!"
As Pique said these words, his heart beat noticeably faster, and his eyes were fixed on Leo's expression. Pique just wants to bet that Leo will still care about Lorraine and his own reputation, and will definitely reason with himself, so as long as Pique makes a righteous and awe-inspiring posture, I believe that Leo will not embarrass him.
Pique's cozy demeanor really moved Nick and Leo, and even the palace guards who escaped death looked at King Pique with reverence, whether Pique cared about their life or death, at least King Pique was really a good king who could sacrifice himself for the Lorraine Palace.
I have to say that Pique's words really impressed Leo. Leo originally thought that Pique was attached to the throne of King Lorraine, so his rise brought him a threat, so he wanted to kill himself first. But he never thought that Pique just wanted to maintain the territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Lorraine, which is the right that a king should have, and Pique's actions made Leo understandable.
In the face of the righteous and awe-inspiring Pique, Leo was in trouble for a while. From Pique's point of view, he didn't do anything wrong, even if he went too far to protect the sovereignty of the country, but if he had been ambushed, assassinated, and experienced a bloody battle, he had let the perpetrator go so lightly, Leo felt that something was not right.
Pique's brilliant performance can fool Leo, the palace guards, and even the twin brothers with whom he grew up, but not Feng Xifan and Master Merlin.
These two can be called old Jiang Mila, both have rich life experience and war experience, don't look at Pique's face is seamless, but whether it is Feng Xifan or Master Merlin, they can see from his constantly wandering eyes that the words in his words are insincere.
Just when Leo was in trouble, Feng Xifan's lips squirmed slightly, and a thin mosquito-like voice reached Leo's ears. After Feng Xifan's suggestion, Leo turned his head to look at Master Merlin again, and saw that Master Merlin shook his head gently with an almost imperceptible amplitude, Leo's eyes immediately drooped, and his face looked a little unpleasant.
I was just a little moved by King Peake's words, but I found out that he was lying all the time, and this result made Leo feel humiliated.
It's not worthy of sympathy at all, it's all your own fault!" Leo's mind flashed through this thought, his left hand secretly clenched into a fist, and his fingers were a little white because of the excessive force. The upper and lower teeth were clenched, and the masseter muscles on the face were slightly protruding due to the exertion.
After making up his mind, Leo raised his head suddenly, and a sharp glint appeared in his eyes, which made King Pique tremble suddenly, knowing that something was wrong, but he didn't know that Leo was still moved and inexplicable just now, why suddenly it seemed like a different person, and suddenly woke up.
