Leon didn't mean to inquire about Corinna's **, it was completely out of the concern of his friends, and he was also curious.

"No," Corinna shook her head, "I'm here to visit an elder, and I didn't expect to meet you here." ”

Looking at her smiling and beautiful appearance, there is no doubt that life in Ugru is not bad, if the rumors are not false, this is her hometown.

"Why don't we wait until I get my knighthood certificate and let's dine together in the evening?" Leon invited, "I just don't know how much time I have to wait." ”

"The patriarchs are always short on time, so I'll wait here with you. Corinna chuckled, "I'd also like to hear you tell me the story of fighting the barbarians on the Arctic Ice Sheet." ”

Her news is very well-informed, but Leon led the team back to Uglu from the far north, and walked on the road for more than half a month, and the relevant news must have already reached the royal capital, and it was definitely not a problem to inquire about it as her.

The point is that Corinna is obviously very attentive to the news about him, which makes Leon feel a little warmer in his heart.

is also waiting, with a beautiful woman by your side, chatting softly, the waiting time is no longer boring.

In fact, Leon didn't wait long before chatting with Corinna for a while, when a tiger-born nobleman in a golden robe appeared with a deacon.

"Hello, Senator Deparich!"

Seeing the tiger nobleman, Corinna stood up and smiled at him.

This was also a reminder to Leon, and he also stood up and saluted: "Hello, Senator Deparich!"

The elders of the kingdom are all powerful dignitaries, who belong to the top of the kingdom, no matter how arrogant and uninhibited Leon is, he needs to maintain enough respect and politeness in front of the other party.

"Hello, Princess Corinna, you are getting more and more beautiful!" The Tiger Nobleman laughed, and his eyes fell on Leon: "This must be Baron Leon, the lord of Sal Territory, I'm sorry to keep you waiting." ”

Princess Corinna!

According to rumors, Corinna is the daughter of Sophia Rhine, and the identity of the princess is of course unquestionable.

But Sophia's time has long passed, Corinna has not even kept her own territory, and the princess is naturally stripped away, and she can no longer even gain a foothold in Ugru.

And now Corinna has not only returned to Ugru, but the old nobles are also very polite to her, and the title of princess does not contain any sarcasm, at least it means that Corinna has taken back all or part of what originally belonged to her.

Thousands of thoughts turned in his mind, and Leon looked the same as before, and said without being arrogant or humble: "Elder, you are too polite. ”

If it weren't for Corinna by his side, I'm afraid this old nobleman with eyes above the top would not have appeared here at all!

Leon's heart brightened.

"Take it to Baron Leon. Deparic commanded with a wave of his hand.

The senate deacon, who was standing behind, hurriedly took two steps forward and respectfully presented a gold-veined scroll to Leon.

"This is proof of your viscount title and new territory, congratulations, Viscount Leon!"

Taking the gold-filled scroll, Leon saluted the other party again: "Thank you, Patriarch!"

Deparici nodded reservedly, and smiled at Corinna again: "Princess Corinna, if you have the chance, come and sit with me and taste the red mist tea I just got." ”

After a few polite words, Senator Deparic departed with the deacon, and Leon could see that he had shown enough respect for Corinna, but apparently not too much intimacy.

"I know you have a lot of questions, so let's find a place to sit down and talk. Corinna saw the confusion in Leon's heart.

"Good!" Leon, of course, had no objection.

The two walked out of the central hall of the Senate together, and Corinna took the initiative to grab his arm, which attracted quite a lot of strange glances.

The people who can enter and leave the Senate are not ordinary people, and the dignitaries, knights, warriors, and shamans of the royal capital abound, and even an ordinary deacon here has the title of nobility.

And Corinna and Leon's intimate gesture undoubtedly fell in the eyes of many people, many of them obviously knew Corinna's identity, so their eyes were basically focused on Leon.

Curious, shocked, jealous... Let Leon, who has a keen sense, have a feeling of thorns in his back.

There is pressure to walk with a beautiful woman, and the pressure to walk with a big beauty with the title of princess is huge, Leon couldn't help but turn his head and glance at the people around him, the fox princess smiled at the corner of her mouth and looked calm, as if she didn't realize that she had caused him a lot of trouble.

Forget it, anyway, it's impossible to catch up with Sal if there's any trouble, right? Leon also thought about it, and he didn't need to care about these people's opinions.

What he didn't expect was that trouble would come so quickly.

Da! Da! Da!

Three horses galloped down the side of the street and landed at the gate of the Senate.

The knights rolled over and jumped off their horses, just in the way of Leon and Corinna.

"Princess Corinna!"

One of the young knights greeted with a look of eagerness in his eyes.

It's just that when he saw Corinna holding Leon's little hand, the eagerness in his eyes turned into irrepressible anger and jealousy, as if he had caught her lover's husband, who was stealing pleasure.

"Who is he?"

Who is this guy?

The knight was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a strong physique and a tall figure, with a handsome appearance, and his dazzling golden curls had obvious lion-like features, except for a pair of lion's eyes full of violent blood.

He was wearing a set of dark gold armor, and the mounts around him were even more extraordinary, without a trace of miscellaneous hair on his body, and he was undoubtedly a noble knight among the children of a wealthy family in the royal capital.

"Count Sayat..."Corinna frowned slightly, and said coldly, "You are in our way!"

The knight's face turned red, and he looked like an enraged lion, staring at Leon with his eyes blazing, his right hand clenched into a fist, and his knuckles making a crunch of "gaba" because of the force.

"You, whoever you are, get out of Princess Corinna's side at once!" he squeezed a few words out of his teeth, and the look was almost like eating Leon raw: "Otherwise..."

"How else?" Leon asked faintly, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

In this royal capital full of nobles, Leon doesn't want to cause trouble, but he is definitely not afraid of it.

This guy should be Corinna's suitor, but as a noble knight, he is so arrogant and impulsive, he must be an arrogant and accustomed character, and the identity of the earl is enough to show the strength of his background.

But that doesn't mean Leon is afraid of the other side.

Suddenly, a knight of the retinue, who was standing next to Saster, came into his ear and whispered a few words.

Sayat's expression changed immediately.

Leon was surprised that he knew Pastin Tiger in this knight of Sayat's retinue.

When he was in Tormond, Pastin had troubled Leon a lot, and had teamed up with the hapless ghost Wald to plot against Leon in the Temple.

In the end, Wald died, and Pastine, the initiator, disappeared for a while.

This guy gives Leon the impression of being ruthless and forbearing, not an easy character to deal with, and once coveted Corinna.

Leon still remembered that Pastin was a mid-level commander of the garrison of the Southwest Province, and he didn't expect that he would now run to the royal capital and become someone else's retinue.

"What kind of big man am I, it turns out that I am just a little baron..."Sayat said contemptuously, "If you want to die, just say it!"

"Your Excellency Sayat!"

Before Leon could speak, Corinna was angry first, her pretty face was covered with a layer of frost, and her eyes became sharp as a knife: "Viscount Leon is my friend, if you still have a trace of knightly demeanor, please get out of my way immediately!"

"Friend..."

The word stimulated Sayat a lot, and his face turned hideous, and he took off his gloves and slammed them into Leon's face.

"I'm going to duel you!"

This scene that happened at the gate of the Senate attracted the attention of many people, and many nobles gathered in twos and threes not far away to watch, whispering and whispering.

And the knight of the guard guarding the doorway turned a blind eye.

Leon snorted coldly and waved his hand away from the gloves that Sayat had thrown over.

"What, are you scared? If you're still a man, pick it up for me right now!" Sayat roared.

"Duel?" Leon sneered: "According to the laws of the kingdom, a private duel is punishable by flogging and deprivation of the title, it doesn't matter if you are stupid, don't treat everyone else as mentally retarded, okay?"

Noble duels used to be a tradition in the aristocratic circles of the Terran nation, and later the Beamon nobility infected this ethos.

Because many of the nobles of Beamon are aggressive, duels were extremely popular a hundred years ago, and many nobles used this way of life and death duels to resolve their grudges with each other, resulting in the death of many people.

In view of the severity of the impact, the kingdom instituted a special law forbidding private duels between nobles, and Leon learned about it by studying the laws of Bimon.

If he really agreed to the other party's duel, it would undoubtedly fall into a trap.

In addition, if both parties agree and apply to the Senate for a public duel under the supervision of a notary, this is permissible, although similar duels are rare nowadays.

"Okay!

Sayat glared at Leon hatefully, turned over and jumped on the horse: "Don't run away if you have a kind!"

He whipped the horse with a whip, as if to vent all his anger, and the horse's belly was dripping with blood.

The mount hissed forward in pain, and disappeared at the end of the long street in the blink of an eye.
