"Well, when the child is older, you have your own ideas and thoughts, and it seems that my father can't control you. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Viscount Kovinas sighed, his sharp eyes disappeared without a trace, and he straightened up again, leaning back on the high-backed velvet chair, as if he was sinking into it.

"I don't dare to deceive my father, but these people around me are loyal to me by chance, their identities and origins are confidential and cannot be known to others, and one of them is really secret, I can't tell my father, please understand my father. Seeing that the viscount was so disappointed, although he had no feelings for himself, Leo still felt a little unbearable in his heart, so he opened his mouth to defend a little.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, then let's talk about you and Frank!" Leo's attitude softened slightly, and Viscount Covinas changed the conversation and said: "Frank has been talented and talented in magic since he was a child, since he entered the Imperial Academy of Magic, you have also seen his achievements, he became a junior magician in three years, and his future can be said to be limitless, and you ......." I won't hide it from you until now, no matter what conflicts you have with Frank, Frank is the heir of the Covinus family that I recognize, and this will never change!"

Although he already knew the Viscount's intentions, hearing Viscount Covenas be so frank, Leo's eyelids still couldn't help jumping: "I know, Frank has been better than me since he was a child, so I willingly accepted your arrangement to leave the imperial capital to develop in Haruna Village and make way for Frank!"

"In that case, why did you do so much of the thing, and now that Frank was arrested and imprisoned by the Imperial Inspectorate, do you know how much damage it will do to Frank's future and to the reputation of our Covinus family?"

Faced with the Viscount's unreasonable questioning, Leo suddenly raised his lowered head, with a hint of grievance, unwillingness and excitement in his eyes, and replied loudly: "I didn't do these things, these are all Frank's own fault!

"You!you!you!you!it's the opposite!you!you!" I didn't expect that Leo, who had always been cowardly and respectful, would contradict and refute so loudly, and the viscount's heart suddenly felt that he was offended by this second son whom he had never looked down upon, and for a moment he was furious, and his arm pointed at Leo vigorously, and his mouth trembled so that he couldn't even speak.

Now that he has contradicted Viscount Covinas, Leo simply poured out all the words in his heart: "Since you were a child, you have been partial to Frank, and all the resources have been given to Frank, I don't blame you, after all, Frank is your eldest son." I don't blame you for appointing Frank to succeed the family, after all, Frank is your eldest son. But!"

When Leo said this, he paused and gasped violently, calmed down the excitement in his heart, and continued: "But! This time, in order to kill me, Frank did not hesitate to violate military regulations and pass orders without authorization, and also involved innocent people. When I returned to the camp to resume my life, he tried to fabricate facts to rob him of military merits, and if it weren't for Raymond's status as a prince, I am afraid that the person who is now imprisoned would not be him but me! How can he blame me for all of this?"

Leo told the matter in one breath, and his heart was much more comfortable, but Viscount Covenas's heart was like a tumult. From Leo's words and Brown's previous statements, the Viscount also sensed that Brown's information was wrong, but unfortunately, out of trust in the Stritch family, the Viscount did not suspect that Brown deliberately fabricated the facts. But even so, the viscount still couldn't accept that this waste son was confronting him.

"Presumptuous! It's presumptuous, you dare to speak to me like that, rebel, you rebel...... Ahem, ahem!" Viscount Covinas slapped his palm heavily on the desk in front of him, pointing at Leo and about to scold, but was interrupted by his own cough.

The sound of violent coughing echoed in the study, and seeing the Viscount's appearance as if he was about to cough out his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, Leo couldn't bear it, and hurriedly stepped forward to pat the Viscount's back, using his internal strength that had not yet been completed to soothe his lungs.

Looking at the second son beside him who was nervous about his sudden situation, the viscount suddenly thought that this was probably the closest contact between the two fathers and sons in their lives, maybe he really cared too much about Frank and ignored Leo.

Perhaps it was Leo's internal strength that played a role, and the viscount's cough gradually lessened and disappeared, and he took a big gulp of fresh air to calm his state, and it took a long time before he finally calmed down.

"O Leo, no matter what, Frank is your brother and the heir of our House of Corvinus, and nothing can happen to him under any circumstances. Count me as a father, please let Frank go!" The sudden softening of Viscount Covenas's attitude made Leo a little at a loss, and he didn't know how to respond, even if he wanted to follow his father's wishes and not pursue it, I am afraid that Frank would not be released, after all, he was arrested after the investigation by the Imperial Supervision Department, and he could not interfere at all.

Seeing Leo's embarrassed look, Viscount Covinas gently put the white silk covering his mouth and nose on the desk, and a pool of red blood stung Leo's eyes, Leo only knew that the viscount's health had always been bad, but he didn't expect his physical condition to deteriorate to such a situation.

Viscount Covenas's eyes were slightly closed, tears ran down the furrows and wrinkles of his face, and the expression on his originally handsome face, which was slightly distorted by crying, looked so helpless and pitiful. Seeing this so-called father crying and begging in front of his eyes, although he did not have the affection of father and son, he could not abandon it, Leo had no choice but to comfort: "Father, don't be sad first, I didn't say it doesn't matter, you let me think about what to do first!"

"Leo, isn't Crown Prince Raymond your friend, as long as you go and beg him to spare Frank, I believe it will be done!" As soon as Leo's mouth opened, the viscount knew that this could be done, and immediately took Leo's hand with his backhand, and looked at him with a blank eye.

In the face of such earnest prayers, Leo could not bear to refuse a father who was terminally ill but remembered his son, even if the person he cared about was not him.

After leaving Viscount Covenas's study, Leo was deeply aware that his character was really not good at words, and could even be said to be weak and clumsy. Everything Frank did was his own fault, and he couldn't pay attention to his ending at all, but just now he was crying and coughing by Viscount Covenas in the study, and he didn't know how to save him and agreed in a daze, which was really nerve-wracking.

If Leo had known that he had just walked out of the study, Viscount Covenas had wiped the tears from his face, and had completely lost the painful and sad look he had just had, and had a smiling smile on his face, I am afraid that Leo would have been even more annoyed that he had softened his heart.

After leaving the Covinas house, Leo struggled with how to get Frank out. In desperation, Leo told Ney and Feng Xifan and other subordinates about the matter, wanting to brainstorm ideas.

After knowing what had happened, Ney looked at Leo who was scratching his head a little speechlessly, and quietly exchanged a look with Feng Xifan, which means that our young master's mental experience needs to be improved. However, since Leo had already agreed to this matter, Ney had to find a way to solve this matter for Leo.

"Actually, it is not necessarily a bad thing for the young master to agree to this matter. As soon as Ney spoke, Leo saw hope.

"The young master can ask for help from a few nobles you know generously, such as Crown Prince Raymond, Senator Nathaniel, Duke Solo, and even if possible, you can directly intercede with His Majesty the Emperor, and ask them to forgive Frank's crimes for the sake of your great contribution to the empire, after all, in the final analysis, Frank is just squeezing out the young master for the sake of fighting for the inheritance of the family, and he does not mean to deliberately target the crown prince. ”

"But...... If so, will it leave a bad impression on them, or will it have any negative impact on us?" Listening to Ney's words, Leo couldn't help but hesitate.

"No, not at all. You only need to talk to Crown Prince Raymond first, and then the crown prince will lobby for it, then there is a good chance that this matter will be successful. Moreover, family inheritance disputes and fratricidal fratricide are not encouraged, but this has always been an internal affair of each family, and it is inconvenient for outsiders to talk about it. Now you don't hold a grudge against Frank's frame-up and can put brotherhood first and repay grievances with virtue is definitely in line with the Senate's propaganda of the aristocratic spirit, and it will definitely be supported, and maybe it will bring you unexpected praise. Ney smiled and continued to explain to Leo.

Ney's argument was very reasonable, and it seemed very feasible, and Leo decided to go to Raymond's side to intercede first according to Ney's plan. At the same time, Leo is also very glad that the previous survival mission rewarded Ney for coming out, otherwise it would not be easy to find someone to advise him.

Things went much smoother than Leo expected, and after asking Leo what he thought, Crown Prince Raymond was moved by his noble feelings of repaying his grievances regardless of his previous suspicions, and volunteered to go forward for Leo to persuade the Senate and His Majesty the Emperor. Early the next morning, the edict of pardoning Frank personally signed by His Majesty the Emperor was delivered to Leo.
