Chapter 428: Giving a Gift
When Lin Ye walked to the office, Wallis, the former head of the palace and now the new emperor's envoy, was anxiously pacing back and forth with his hands on his back. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wallis had been to the Far East once two years ago, and Lin Ye had met him when he was in the royal capital, and he hadn't seen him for more than a year.
But Wallis undoubtedly looked much older than his previous energetic appearance, his eyes were gloomy, and he was listless.
After all, too many things have happened in the past two years, and as the head of the palace, he has mastered too many secrets, and this period of time is definitely torturous for him.
"Duke Lin Ye, it's been a long time, it's only been two years since you have grown so tall, you are really exactly the same as Mr. Nandu when he was young, Madame will definitely be very happy to see you like this now. When Wallis saw Lin Ye walk in, he immediately greeted him.
He looked at Lin Ye with a complicated expression, purely from the perspective of an elder, and did not mix too much else.
"Lord Wallis, don't come unharmed, I have some personal matters to deal with just now, I really neglected my lord, don't you bring tea to Lord Wallis?"
Lin Ye instructed to go down, and Youen, who had grown from a trainee officer to a qualified affairs officer in the past two years, immediately went to serve tea.
She is a disciple of the sorcerer Sain, who first met Lin Ye on Undercurrent Island, and later came to the Far East with Lin Ye's fleet.
However, after a short stay, Seon left the Far East, apparently to go to the Magic Kingdom of Loki in the north to do some business.
His disciple Eun stayed, working towards a qualified clerk while learning magic.
"Duke Lin Ye, don't be so polite, I'm here this time to deliver His Royal Highness Rhaegar's order, and I'm here to announce the decree. Wallis made clear.
However, in terms of title, he still uses His Royal Highness instead of His Majesty, he is a veteran who grew up watching Rhaegar grow up.
Not only is he very familiar with the affairs of the court and the royal family, but he has also personally participated in a lot, and he has swallowed too many secrets in his stomach.
"I'll talk about the other things later, but now we have to reminisce about the past, and we were in the royal capital before, but we are all thanks to you, Lord Wallis, for taking care of you. ”
Lin Ye beckoned him to sit down, he didn't have the consciousness to accept the order, although Rhaegar was already nominally emperor, and he was the new helmsman of the Lionheart Empire.
But Lin Ye didn't have any intention of honoring him, and he didn't even admit that he was the emperor, so where did he get the idea of receiving the order.
"The Duke has his own heavenly appearance, and it is really gratifying to be able to leave the royal capital smoothly and return here, and there is today's weather in the Far East. ”
Wallis sincerely admired that the last time he came to the Far East, it was not as calm as it is now, and he was assassinated at that time.
He thought that the great changes he had seen last time were astonishing enough, but now it seemed that he still underestimated the land of the Far East.
He couldn't believe what this land would be if it were another ten or five years, and what it would become.
"It's all the credit of the people, I'm just sitting back and enjoying the fruits of their labor, I heard that His Royal Highness Rhaegar has successfully defeated His Highness Leo, and only His Highness Leighton is left to support him, but it is only a matter of time before His Highness Leighton is completely defeated, which is worth celebrating. ”
Lin Ye shifted the conversation to the civil strife in the Empire, and Wallis had a lot of things he didn't know, and he was very interested in this.
"Now that the empire is facing an external threat, but there is an endless struggle internally, where is this worth celebrating, the emperor would not be happy if he knew. ”
Wallis shook his head slightly, he had served Raymond for decades, and he had always been a trusted and relied on confidant of Raymond.
"That's right, now the empire is troubled internally and externally, and it is indeed an eventful season, but His Royal Highness Rhaegar is wise and martial, and he will definitely be able to lead the people of the empire to rebuild the glory of the past, and this Duke is very confident in His Royal Highness Rhaeggar. Lin Ye said with a smile.
Although he was praising Rhaegar in his words, his tone was actually very frivolous, and he would not forget what happened in the royal capital.
At the time of the Holy Light Cathedral, he was tried as a prisoner for the murder of the king, and if he hadn't escaped by taking advantage of the chaos, he would have died in the royal capital.
"It would be great if you could think like this, Lord Duke, if my guess is correct, you should have met with His Highness Leo, right?" Wallis got straight to the point, Lin Ye had already made his attitude clear, and he couldn't be false anymore.
"Yes, I just sent His Royal Highness Leo away, if you want to chase it, I'm afraid it's already too late, and on the territory of the Far East, even if His Royal Highness Leo is there in person, there is no way to do what I don't agree with, I mean, you should understand, right?" Lin Ye asked with a smile.
Actually, if you can leave, it will be the best outcome for His Highness Leo. Wallis sighed softly.
"Is this what His Highness Rhaegar meant? It is surprising that His Highness Rhaegar cares so much about brotherhood. Lin Ye was a little surprised.
"No, this is not the intention of His Highness Rhaegara, but the old servant's own wishes, and the Emperor must not want to see a scene of fratricide. ”
Wallis sighed with emotion, he and Raymond are actually friends, and the two have been working side by side for many years.
"If you don't want to do this, then why do you still leave such a mess? Isn't this a contradiction?" Lin Ye continued to ask rhetorically.
This is also a question that puzzles many people, the first emperor Raymond was wise I, but in the end he left a confused mess.
"His Majesty the Emperor also has his own troubles. Wallis shook his head slightly, and had no intention of continuing.
"So even Rhaegar is not his own son, is it also his trouble?" Lin Ye suddenly accentuated.
This made Wallis stunned, he didn't expect him to come like this suddenly.
"Has His Highness Leo even told you this? It seems that he really has no intention of coveting authority, and has completely walked away. Wallis had a complicated expression.
"So, I am willing to see you because of my friendship with you, if it were someone else, Duke Ben would have blasted him out a long time ago. ”
Lin Ye was slow and reasonable, and at this time the tea was served, and the fragrance of tea spread.
"The old servant knows that the Duke has a lot of grievances about what happened to the royal capital, and His Royal Highness Rhaegar also knows this, so His Royal Highness sent the old servant to the Far East this time, not empty-handed, but with gifts. Wallis waved his hand.
One of his attendants laid out a map.
"Gifts, what gifts can there be?" Lin Ye frowned.
"His Highness Rhaegar has decided to make the four northern provinces your domain your domain, what do you think?" Wallis said slowly.
