Chapter 245 Goodbye to Beauty on
Leon didn't want to inquire about Corinne's privacy. He was completely out of the care of his friends, and he was also curious.
"No..." Corinna shook her head: "I'm here to visit a senior, and I didn't expect to meet you here."
Looking at her beautiful smile, there is no doubt that her life in Uglu is not bad. If the rumors are not fake, this is her hometown.
"Why don't we have dinner together in the evening when I get the title certificate?" Leon invited, "I just don't know how long I have to wait."
"The time of the elders is always tight. I'll wait with you here." Corinne smiled and said, "I also want to hear your story of fighting against the barbarians on the Far North Icefield."
She is very well-informed, but Leon led the team back to Uglu from the far north and walked for more than half a month. The relevant news must have reached Wangdu long ago. It is definitely not a problem for her to inquire about it as her.
The key is that Corinne obviously pays attention to the news about him, which makes Leon feel a little warmer.
It's also waiting. With a beautiful woman's company, whispering and chatting, the waiting time is no longer boring.
In fact, Leon didn't wait long before chatting with Corin for a while. A tiger nobleman in a golden robe appeared with a deacon.
"Hello, Your Excellency Deparic!"
Seeing the tiger nobleman, Corinne got up and smiled at him.
This is also a reminder to Leon. He also stood up and saluted, "Hello, Elder Deparic!"
The elders of the kingdom are all powerful and nobles. They belong to the top figures of the kingdom. No matter how arrogant and unruly Leon is, he needs to maintain enough respect and courtesy 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. I'm very sorry to keep you waiting."
Princess Corinna! This name surprised Leon. He was shocked.
It is rumored that Corinne is Sophia. Of course, there is no doubt about the identity of Rhine's daughter and princess.
But Sophia's era has long passed. Corinna didn't even keep her territory. Naturally, she was deprived of her identity as a princess, and she couldn't even stand on Uglu.
And now Corinne not only returned to Ugru, but also the elders and nobles were very polite to her. The title of the princess did not contain any sarcasm, at least it showed that Corinna had taken back all or part of what originally belonged to her.
Thousands of thoughts turned in his mind. Leon looked the same as before and said arrogantly, "Your Excellency, you are too polite."
If there is no Corinna around, I'm afraid that this high-eyed aristocrat will not be here at all!
Leon's heart is bright.
"Take the things to Baron Leon." Deparitch waved his hand and ordered.
The deacon of the Senate standing behind quickly stepped forward two steps and respectfully presented a gold scroll to Leon.
"This is the proof of your viscount and new territory. Congratulations, Viscount Leon!"
After taking over this gold-rich scroll, Leon saluted the other party again: "Thank you, my lord!"
Deparic nodded reservedly and smiled at Corinna, "Princess Corinne, if you have a chance, come to my place and try the red fog tea I just got."
After a few words of politeness, Elder Deparic left with the deacon. Leon could see that he had expressed enough respect for Corinne, but obviously did not mean too much closeness.
"I know you have a lot of questions. Let's find a place to sit down and talk slowly." Corinne saw the doubts in Leon's mind.
"Good!" Of course, Leon has no objection.
The two walked out of the central hall of the Senate together. Corinna took the initiative to hold his arm, which attracted quite a lot of strange eyes.
Those who can enter and exit the Senate are not ordinary people. There are many dignitaries, knights and warriors, and shamanic priests in the royal capital. Even an ordinary deacon here has the title of aristocracy.
The intimate posture of Corin and Leon undoubtedly fell into the eyes of many people. Many of them obviously knew Corinna's identity, so their eyes were basically focused on Leon.
Curiosity, shock, jealousy... Let Leon, who has a keen sense of thorns on his back.
There is pressure to walk with a beautiful woman, and the pressure to walk with a beautiful woman with the title of princess is huge. Leon can't help but turn her head and look at the people around her. The fox princess smiled calmly and seemed to realize that she had caused him a lot of trouble at all.
Forget it. Anyway, it's impossible to catch up with Sal, right? Leon also thought about it. He didn't need to care about the views of these people.
But what he didn't expect was that the trouble came so quickly.
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Three horses ran from one side of the street and stopped steadily at the gate of the Senate.
The knights turned over and jumped off the horse's back, just blocking the way for Leon and Corinne.
"Princess Corinna!"
One of the young knights greeted loudly, with an incomparable eagerness in his eyes.
It's just that when he saw Corinne holding Leon's little hand, the eager in his eyes turned into uncontrollable anger and jealousy, as if he had caught the lover's husband who was secretly having fun.
"Who is he?"
Who is this guy? Leon was stunned for a moment.
The knight is about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. He is tall and handsome. His golden curly hair has obvious lion characteristics, but a pair of lion eyes are full of violent blood.
He wears a set of dark gold armor, and the mounts around him are even more extraordinary. There is no trace of miscellaneous hair all over his body. There is no doubt that he is a noble knight among the children of the royal capital.
"Count Sayat..." Corinne frowned slightly and said coldly, "You are blocking our way!"
A knight's face suddenly turned red. He was like an enraged lion. His eyes stared at Leon with anger. His right hand was tightly clenched into a fist, and his knuckles made a crisp sound because of force.
"You! No matter who you are, get away from Princess Corinne immediately!" He squeezed a few words out of his teeth, and it looked like he was going to eat Leon raw: "Otherwise..."
"What else?" Leon asked faintly, and a trace of disdain flashed in the tiger's eyes.
In this rich and noble capital, Leon doesn't want to cause trouble, but he is definitely not afraid of trouble.
This guy should be Corinna's suitor, but as an aristocratic knight, he is so arrogant and impulsive. He must be an arrogant figure at ordinary times, and the count's identity also shows the strength of his background.
But this does not mean that Leon is afraid of the other party.
Suddenly, an attendant knight standing next to Sasster came to his ear and whispered a few words.
Sayat's look immediately changed.
Leon was surprised, because he actually knew Sayat's entourage knight - Pastin. Tiger.
When he was in Tormond, Pastin had a lot of trouble with Leon, and he once plotted Leon in the temple with the unlucky Wald.
In the end, Wald died, and Pastine, the initiator, also disappeared for a period of time.
This guy gave Leon the impression that he was vicious and tolerant, not an easy-to-deal character, and he once coveted Corinna.
Leon still remembers that Pastin was a middle-level commander of the defense force in the southwestern province. Unexpectedly, he also went to the capital now and became someone else's entourage.
"What big man do I think I am? It turns out to be just a little baron..." Sayat said contemptuously, "If you want to die, just say it!"
"Mr. Sayat!"
Before Leon could speak, Corinna was angry first. Her pretty face was covered with a layer of frost, and her eyes became as 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!"
"Friends..."
The wordwas very exciting for Sayat, and a ferocious look appeared on his face. He took off his gloves and hit Leon's face fiercely.
"I want to fight with you!"
The scene at the gate of the Senate attracted the attention of many people. Many nobles gathered in twos and threes not far away to watch and whispered.
And the guard knight guarding the door turned a blind eye.
Leon snorted coldly and waved away the gloves thrown by Sayat.
"What? Are you scared? If you are still a man, pick it up for me immediately!" Sayat roared loudly. "
"D duel?" Leon sneered and said, "According to the law of the kingdom, a private duel is to be punished by whipping and deprivation of the title. It doesn't matter if you are stupid. Don't treat others as retarded, okay?"
Aristocratic duel was once a tradition in the aristocratic circle of human countries, and later the Bemon nobles infected this atmosphere.
Because many of the Bemon nobles were aggressive, the style of duel was extremely popular a hundred years ago. Many nobles used this life-and-death confrontation to solve their hatred between each other, causing the death of many people.
In view of the serious impact, the kingdom has formulated a special law to strictly prohibit private duels between nobles. Leon has studied the Bemon law, so he knows something about it.
If he really agreed to the other party's duel, he would undoubtedly fall into a trap.
In addition, if both parties agree and apply to the Senate for an open duel under the supervision of a notary, it is allowed, but similar duels are rare now.
"Okay! You wait!"
Sayat stared at Leon with hatred, turned over and jumped on the horse: "Don't run away if you have guts!"
He whipped a whip on the horse fiercely, as if to vent all his anger, which made the horse's abdomen bloody.
The mount ran forward with a long hiss in pain and disappeared at the end of the long street in a blink of an eye.
