Chapter 4: Father and Daughter (II)

"You've grown up, Leah, and maybe I should thank Ed Nihua, I'll admit I've been surprised by how you've changed over the years. (www.56 book.library novel network update our speed first)"

Looking into Leah's eyes, Duke Brown found that the girl's eyes reflected the determination to not fear death and the almost reckless anticipation and small ambition that is unique to young people for their future.

"You're right, as my heir, no matter where I am, there will be no less deadly threats, and the name of the three nobles is honor, but also responsibility and burden. Maybe I was thinking a little too doting. But please understand that I have lost so much. It's so much that it's a little weak, and I don't dare to let you take any more risks. ”

With a wry smile, the old duke shook his head, a smile of relief and bitterness on his face.

"You convinced me, but only halfway. You know, it's much easier to say than to do. The path you have decided will never be easy to follow in the future, and it is very likely that you will become timid halfway through, but at that time, you will find that you have no way back. So I'm going to look at your future and hope you can do what you say. ”

"Rest assured, my dear father, at least in this school year alone, I have the honour to say to you that I have overcome the danger of death three times. ”

To the old earl's question, Leah replied confidently.

"Oh, it seems that I haven't seen her for a while, and my daughter seems to have something to be proud of, so come, tell me about it. You see, how gratifying it is for a father to hear about his child's bravery. ”

Leah's words aroused the interest of the old duke.

"Of course, my dear father, by the way, while I tell these stories, please let me have the honour of introducing you to a friend of mine, and believe that I might not have been able to sit here and talk to you if it were not for her. (Please remember our website www.56 book.librarynovel.com)"

The old duke's anger was resolved, and as soon as he was safe, Leah happily pushed the boat down the river, cleverly leading the conversation to Leona......

"I see, I see, you are not careful enough in this matter, and you should not be careless with the enemy even in the end. But the result is good - you saved the princess, and it is a great gift, and it will be good for you in the future. ”

After listening to Leah's story in the academy, the old earl stroked his chin with his hand and commented one by one.

"The princess went to Ed Nihua, to be honest, I didn't know that there was such a thing, it seems that His Majesty sealed the news very tightly, and it didn't leak out at all. Now, I have to say that you were right to go to Ed Nihua. This is an opportunity, Leah, you should try to build a good relationship with the princess, whether the purpose of doing so is based on friendship or profit, it doesn't hurt, our king only has one daughter, and I'm sure he won't give the throne to other royal relatives, so for the nobles of your generation, there is only one choice for the heir, and there is no problem of zài standing in the wrong line. ”

Compared to Leona, Duke Brown is more #Sex Novelhttp://wWw./class12/ 1.html cares about Princess Isabella, the nature of the political family is to compete for power, and they will never let go of anything that is beneficial to them.

"You see, I'm willing to bet that when school starts next year, Ed Nihua will probably have the biggest school transfer campaign in history, and the three nobles will arrange their children there as much as possible to get close to the princess. You have a lot more leverage than they do in this regard. Yes, you see, you're already a friend of the princess. And more importantly, Leah, you're a girl, which was originally not good, but now it's a wonderful thing. Neither alchemy nor the priest's magic can make our King live longer, this is the destiny of heaven. Soon, the new king will be Princess Isabella, and as a queen, she will need the understanding and support of someone of her own gender, and it is clear that you will definitely be the first candidate. This is an opportunity, Leah, don't let it go. ”

"I understand, dear Father. ”

To be honest, Leah didn't like this kind of relationship based on interests, which she felt was a desecration of the friendship between her and Isabella. But on the other hand, she had to admit that Duke Brown was right. These material and power connections are inevitable, and it is like a kind of fate.

"I understand you're going to struggle with this, but be rational, Leah, remember my words, politics can't be emotional. All right...... Let's not talk about that, let's talk about Miss Leona, brave and full of blood, though a little ...... Belch...... Stupid. She saved you, you're right, we should help her, and if the Farains can do anything for her, let's see. I'll go and write to the king to explain this, with the precedent of Karen, it won't be too difficult, and then you will set off tomorrow in griffons, and the time for recruiting new knights is almost over, so hurry. ”

The old duke had no intention of objecting to Leona's affairs, and after saying this, he made a gesture to show that he was a little tired, and asked Leah to leave......

"Drink~ I'm in, Leona. ”

After coming out of the study, she asked a maid casually, and Lea knew where Leona was, because the two of them had long been used to being casual, so Leah didn't knock on the door, but walked in directly.

"Ahh......h Are you sick? Why are you lying in bed?"

However, the scene before her was strange, Leona did not sit somewhere to care for her weapons as she had done at the Martial Arts Academy, but shrunk into the soft quilt - only a small half of her face was exposed, and when she looked closely, her cheeks were as red as apples.

"I didn't ...... I didn't get sick, I just ...... Just ......"

"But what's wrong? Did those maids bully you?"

"No...... No, the maid sister is very nice, but the clothes she gave me are ......."

"Clothes?huh...... You're in the shower, so it's reasonable to change your clothes...... Wait, I'll wash it too, and to be honest, griffins are fine with everything, but they smell of beasts that don't dare to compliment. ”

Lying on the bed with a pop, Lea brought her little head close to Leona and sniffed, and then smelled a nice smell of shower gel, obviously, Leona had just taken a shower. So after thinking about it for a while, Leah also decided to go and enjoy the hot bath before dinner.

The bathroom in Fareen City was naturally several times better than the Snoring Inn, but because she didn't want Leona to wait long, Leah didn't soak in it for too long, and after a while, she dried herself and went to the dressing room.

There were the maids' well-organized civilian clothes that Leah often wore, and these clothes specially made by skilled craftsmen were obviously much better than those bought by Ed Nihua.

As she put on her lace-filled dress, Leah suddenly realized that she understood why Leona looked so weird.

So, with a little devilish smile, she re-entered Leona's room.
