"Hmph, I can't imagine that our King Pique would think so much about the Kingdom of Lorraine and all the people, he is simply a benevolent monarch!" Leo said word by word, gritting his teeth. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The muscles on Peake's face twitched, and he wanted to say a few words to justify it to ease Leo's anger at this time, but his lips opened a few times but he couldn't say a word. Peake glared at Mage Merlin, who was slowly withdrawing the short wooden staff in his hand, and secretly hated that this old thing had given him a silence spell at the most critical moment.

"Since King Peake doesn't want to see Lorraine being divided, and he doesn't want to see his people lose their stable lives because of the war, then it's easy to do!" Speaking of this, Leo's eyes began to sharpen, and he stared at King Peake tightly and said: "Then take the Kingdom of Lorraine to annex it to my Pritz, which not only ensures the integrity of Lorraine's original territory, but also does not cause war, which is simply a good thing to kill two birds with one stone!"

Leo's slightly mocking words made Peake's hands and feet tremble and his limbs cold. Pique's heart was extremely regretful, he knew that this would be the case, and he might as well have directly agreed to Leo's request for independence, even if he lost Pritz, at least he was still the king of Lorraine. But if the entire Kingdom of Lorraine is incorporated into Pritz as Leo said, then his own king, and even the Fairman royal family, will have no value in existence, and maybe he will be wiped out by Leo one day.

The reason why Pique thinks this is because he grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he has been exposed to so many things about becoming a king and defeating a king. Now it was his turn to go from being a king to a loser, and such a huge gap was unacceptable to him.

"Leo, what are you talking about, do you still want to swallow Lorraine in one bite?" was Nick's voice in disbelief.

"Don't think about it!, you're just wishful thinking!" was Peake's outright refusal in his rage.

Although the two brothers had different temperaments, they were surprisingly consistent in such matters of state, and almost simultaneously rejected Leo's request. If Leo had put forward conditions such as reparations and apologies, maybe the two brothers would have complied with each other, but something like the annexation of Lorraine to Pritz, not to mention Pique and Nick, even the palace guards surrounded by the stone steps of the side hall looked at each other angrily and absolutely refused to agree.

A small mountain city of Pritz, a humble principality, is bent on swallowing the suzerain, the famous magical kingdom of Lorraine on the continent. This made it impossible for the proud Lorraine to agree.

But Pique and Nick fell silent again after impulsively rejecting Leo's offer. After the initial impulse, as soon as they calmed down slightly, the brothers remembered that the current situation had long since been reversed. After Pritz seized the northern province of Paris, his strength has long since increased greatly, and even the economic blockade that was unpleasant back then cannot hold Pritz's throat.

The abundance of products and fertile land on the Plains of Harvest means that the Duchy of Pritz will no longer be short of food and crops, and the new provinces will also be replenished with a large amount of magical materials from the Dragon Mountains, and the changes produced by the combination of the two are not as simple as one plus one. It could even have a drastic impact on all the surrounding countries.

Pridzer will usher in rapid development, and any stumbling block that stands in the way of Pritz's development and expansion will be easily kicked away by Leo. Even the former suzerain, the Kingdom of Lorraine, could not stand alone at such a time, and it could even be said that it was the first to stand in front of Leo.

Just when the two brothers, Pique and Nick, were at a loss for what to do with Leo, they heard a loud and orderly footsteps coming from far and near. Countless Praetorian Guards surrounded the entire side hall.

From among the many Praetorian Guards, Michel Ney came out in line, looked at the current situation on both sides in front of the side hall, especially the mountain of corpses beside Achilles, ignored the ugly-faced Pique and Nick, strode forward and saluted Leo respectfully: "Don't come to the Grand Duke Leo unharmed! I wonder if it's time to call you His Majesty?"

Michel Ney's disregard for King Peake made Peake feel humiliated again, and he jerked his head up, glared at Ney and said, "Don't forget, you are the commander of the Forbidden Army of Lorraine, and your allegiance should be to the whole of Lorraine, not the Grand Duke of Pritz!"

"I'm very sorry, Your Majesty King Peake, the Archduke of Pritz you are talking about happens to be the object of my allegiance!

Now that Leo has torn his face with Pico and Nick, he no longer cares about what suzerains and what people are terrible, he glanced at Ney slightly, and ordered softly: "Let your soldiers keep them all in custody for the time being, by the way, don't forget those dark mages over there!"

Hearing Leo say this, Pique felt that his legs were weak, and he had to reach out to hold on to the stone staircase fence beside him, and said to Leo in a trembling voice: "You are rebelling, you are going to usurp the throne, and you will be spurned by this continent! The people of Lorraine will not give in! The Fairman royal family will one day regain everything!"

The shouts of the loser did not affect Leo at all, he did not look at Pique like a lost dog, but turned to the mage Edwin and asked softly, "How can you dark mages get involved in this? I remember not offending the Dark Council, right?"

Mage Edwin, who had just broken free from the influence of Mage Merlin's spell and lacked mana on his body, got up from the ground out of breath, first straightened his robes, and then looked at Leo with an inexplicable deep gaze.

"I can't imagine that the Fairman royal family will be destroyed in your hands, I don't know if the Fairman King in Heaven will regret that he led the wolf into the house!" Master Edwin's rude words caused Feng Xifan's dissatisfaction, but before Feng Xifan could make a move, Leo waved his hand behind his back lightly at him, signaling Feng Xifan not to act rashly.

"Could it be that the Dark Council is trying to get the Kingdom of Lorraine back?" Leo finished speaking, as if he had said some ridiculous joke, and he first looked up to the sky and laughed a few times.

"No, the Dark Council doesn't care about kingdom change, and I'm here in Lorraine because you're the master of Pritz City. ”
