Factions, no matter what country or race, are universal, and people actively or passively form interest groups in order to protect their own interests. Not only human countries, but even the orc empire with incomplete and advanced social forms has formed many factions based on the friendly relationship between various tribes.

Also a general who belonged to the Paris Empire, Sidney and Tuart had a natural affinity. Unlike Gao Xianzhi, Mu Fang, Feng Xifan and other gods from the arena, they were enemies of life and death before, and the Parisians who joined Leo halfway were always full of uncertainty and unconfidence in the future, in order to win the trust of the Grand Duke Leo, Stuart took the initiative to lean towards Sidney, who was getting closer and closer to Leo.

In order to increase his voice around Leo and to have someone to support him in the future, Sidney and Stuart hit it off. Out of vigilance against the princess Sophia who recommended herself to sit on the pillow, Sidney also arranged for the Archon Stuart to take the opportunity of reporting urgent matters to find out what Leo was saying. Sidney was also relieved that Leo didn't mean much to Princess Sophia.

However, Sidney still hasn't completely relaxed, it can almost be said that she grew up with Princess Sophia since she was a child, she knows Princess Sophia's character very well, what she wants to get, even if she does everything possible, with Leo's current excellence, she must have firmly attracted Princess Sophia's attention, how to keep Leo's heart, is the battle between Sidney and Sophia in the future.

Don't look at the eyes of those heroes summoned by the Arena of the Gods, Leo is the fundamental, and nothing else makes any sense. But in the eyes of Sidney, Turt, Caraxiu, and Mordo, following in the footsteps of Archduke Leo is the first priority, and the second is to ensure their own interests, and only by becoming Leo's henchmen can they ensure that their interests are not lost.

Stuart's choice was to do his best in his administrative work, so that Archduke Leo could see his value and be appreciated, and he was very clever in his approach, and Sidney didn't just show his talents, after all, a female general, no matter how good she is, is not as good as those men. In fact, for Sidney, the most powerful weapon is her appearance, and being able to attract countless rose knights to worship with her talent shows how outstanding Sidney's appearance is.

But Sophia's appearance made Sidney aware of the crisis, with the entire Paris empire as the backing, and her appearance was no less than herself, and even three points stronger in temperament and demeanor. It can be said that in front of Sophia, Sidney has no confidence to beat her, so Sidney can only use all means to try his best to attract Leo, and the relationship between the two has heated up rapidly during this time, which is also Sidney's deliberate.

It's not that Sidney has any ill intentions towards Leo, it's just that from the beginning, Sidney's feelings for Leo are not so pure, and they are more or less mixed with some utilitarian hearts, after all, clinging to a strong man is a shortcut for Sidney, but Sidney does like Leo in the bottom of his heart, who would not like such a handsome and dignified man?

Although he was not born in the palace, after all, he was often with Princess Sophia, and he had heard a lot about the power struggles in the deep palace of the royal family, so Sidney had to plan in advance, only by tying Leo's heart, she and even the rose knights under her command would settle down, and their future days would be guaranteed.

The Archon Stuart slowly walked out of the Grand Duke's Palace, and Stuart was also quite emotional about Sidney's thoughts. The world of women is also full of swords and swords, and it is not much worse than that of men, but now he and Sidney are natural allies, and Sidney can get the heart of Archduke Leo, which will also help him to a certain extent, so Stuart will take the risk of testing Leo's tone for Sidney.

As the Governor of Tuart returned to the town hall with a high heart, several men in black with hooded black cloaks were already waiting for him. Seeing these sneaky dark mages, Archon Turt felt a pang of irritability in his heart.

"Mr. Consul, I have heard that His Excellency has returned to Pritz City, and I wonder when he will be able to receive us?" asked Master Edwin in a deep voice.

Although his tone was steady, he was actually restless in his heart, since he came to Pritz City to negotiate with the Grand Duke of Pritz on the order of the Dark Speaker, but in the face of an orc invasion, Leo led a large army to the north. Master Edwin and the others didn't dare to return in vain, so they could only wait in Pritz City every day, and finally looked forward to the return of Grand Duke Leo, and the dark mages immediately came to ask to see the Grand Duke.

Stuart frowned slightly, although he was not interested in the Church of Light in his heart, these dark mages obviously annoyed him even more, so he replied unceremoniously, "I have just met His Excellency the Grand Duke, but it is not suitable for His Excellency to receive you at the moment. ”

Hearing Archon Stuart's stiff answer, Master Edwin's face hidden in the hood was slightly stunned, and he said in a somewhat eager tone, "I have come to negotiate with His Excellency the Grand Duke of Pritz on behalf of the Dark Council!"

"Yes, it is precisely because of this that it is not the right time to receive you!" replied the Archon Stuart at once.

"Why is that?" Although Master Edwin was quite accomplished in the study of magic, he was not familiar with ordinary things, especially diplomacy, and could not understand the meaning of Archon Stuart's words.

Stuart gently pinched his forehead, and patiently explained to Master Edwin with a bit of a headache: "I think you have also heard that the Pope of the Church of Light has abdicated, and the new Pope is about to be crowned, and the envoy of the Church of Light is currently in Pritz City, on behalf of the new Pope, he invited His Excellency the Grand Duke to attend the coronation ceremony. ”

This made Master Edwin speechless, and after a while, he could only leave in a huff, after all, the Dark Council could not fight with the Church of Light on the bright side for the time being, and if their deeds were exposed, it would be quite a big trouble for them.
