Chapter 376 Chapter 374: The Crown Prince Triumphs

Two weeks after Leo fought Gordon.

The Imperial Capital was boiling with joy.

Because the heroic prince who fought the rebels has triumphed.

"Prince Leonard!!"

"That's the heroic prince!

"To our Prince Leonard!!

Leo's reputation for hitting the hated rebel Gordon, who drowned the Imperial Capital in confusion and despair, was overrated.

Leo and Leo's army entered the Imperial Capital, cheering loudly, and entered the Imperial Sword Castle.

Leo doesn't stop cheering when he can't see.

While listening to such cheers, Leo is on the top floor of Imperial Sword Castle.

It was coming between the thrones.

"I'm here to say hello to your return. Your Majesty."

"Hmm, Rebel Conquest. Thank you very much."

"Sorry it took so long."

"It's not your fault. Well done. I'm proud of you, Leonard."

"Thank you."

After a short conversation, Emperor Johannes leaves his back on the throne.

This is the end of the formal greeting.

Leo also raised his face when he was lying down.

And he smiles unexpectedly.

Because Emperor Johannes was clearly displeased.

"Well... I need to ask you something for now."

"Yes, what is it?

"I ordered you and Arnold to return? Why are you the only one back?

Leo smiles ambiguously at Johannes, who pulls his cheeks.

Indeed, the order was the return of both princes.

But only Leo came back.

It's a clear breach of order. But it doesn't matter.

Because there are only so many results.

"I keep a letter about it."

That's how Leo took the letter out of his pocket.

Al wrote it.

Johannes received the letter through the prime minister with a further look on his face and opened it violently.

It contained more proper sentences than Johannes thought.

"Please forgive me for greeting you with such a letter, Father. I can't go back to the Empire Capital yet. The reason is that the north is unstable. With the loss of Duke Lowenstein, the Great Black Pillar, grief is greater in the north than victory. They need support. That's why I'm staying north."

Reading the first sentence, Johannes laughed with his nose.

Johannes was also aware of that.

I intended to entrust Al, who had gathered the faith of the northern aristocracy, with the maintenance of the north in his own name. I summoned you to give me the appointment.

But Al refused it.

I will read the letter further if there must be a reason.

I'm sure you've already heard the report, but the Duke of Lowenstein contacted me early and advised me. I was waiting for the right time. The loyalty of the northern nobles is always beside their father. All my dealings are with them. I promised to prove it. To my position as prince. Give them a reward. And promise to respect it from now on. We will not move until it is fulfilled. If it is fulfilled, I will take any order. "

Johannes loosened his face a little.

Al's letter was a threat to Johannes. The presence of the prince in the north, who won the trust of the northern aristocracy, could be the second Gordon.

In fact, if John were to punish the northern aristocrats, Al would be in a position to do so. That's what it meant not to come back.

But Johannes did not look up to it.

"... my son is going to slip my sloppy ass. Franz"

"Your Majesty did not treat the aristocrats of the North coldly. Your Majesty didn't stop."

"I knew it, I waited, and I couldn't stop it. I hate Sazoya. I thought I couldn't repair the relationship while I was in office. As Emperor, I cannot lower my head to my subordinates. Confess your sins and this throne will shake. It means the empire is shaking."

However, this time it triggered me.

The northern aristocracy, not Al, did the fighting. It became easier to give prizes and nail other nobles.

A letter addressed to Al by the Duke of Lowenstein had already been delivered under Johannes.

Johannes did not question the truth.

You can counterfeit as much as you want. However, the fact that the northern aristocracy had been on the emperor's side from the beginning was more convenient.

"Let's declare it on this occasion. The activities of the northern aristocracy are remarkable this time. He moved the Seventh Prince Arnold and made a splendid battle. At a later date, reward all northern nobles. They are heroes. Thereafter, the accusation against them is a accusation against the meritorious, and hence against the eagle. I will never forgive you. Tell everyone."

Declaring so, Johannes looks behind the letter.

There was a sentence written in a broken character that was different from the previous one.

That said, I don't want to go home because I don't want to be angry with you for taking out the Emperor's flag without permission. I did it for my country. Please tell me if you are willing to forgive me. I'll be back soon.

"That stupid son of a bitch! I will never forgive you for that! Say no and go! When I get back, I'll smash some manners into you!!

Unexpectedly, Johannes threw a letter and shouted.

The prime minister picked up a letter. Read through quickly.

And then...

"I don't think I'm going home for a while."

"It's a hammer! I'm angry! I don't think it's good for the country that he's north! You look great in a habit you don't want to be mad at!

"Well, it's all woven in. Are you sure you want to stay on schedule?

"... I can't help it."

Johannes squeezed out his bitter face.

And he stood up from the throne, and proclaimed it to be heard by all the men present.

"The Seventh Prince, Arnold Lakes Ardler, worked with the northern nobles to achieve great combat success! As a reward for his war effort, I will entrust the reign of the north to him as" Northern Plenipotentiary. "

"On behalf of my brother, thank you."

Leo opens his mouth.

Johannes sighed at Leo.

"Do you think it's okay to drag Arnold around sometimes?

"I can't beat your brother."

"Absolutely... keep up your wisdom for a while. The realm's front is stuck. Replace the army. Recall the Trougots, and you will take charge of the battle on the Kingdom's side."

"Yes, sir."

I'm going to the front again.

And Leo doesn't complain.

War with kingdom. Because I wanted to settle it with my own hands.

"Leonardo... if there's a war on the Kingdom side. If I can finish it in a good way... I'll fulfill your wish."

"Thank you."

That's when we battle the North.

What Leo asked when he talked to Johannes alone.

I wanted you to admit your marriage to the Virgin Leticia.

But the situation at that time was too bad.

That is why Johannes did not return a clear answer.

But not now.

The warring faction on the Kingdom's side is a faction that tried to eliminate the Virgin Leticia. If we can defeat it, Virgin Leticia will return to the symbol of the kingdom.

Once the Empire's heroic prince marries the Holy Virgin of the Kingdom, the two countries can take a new path.

"With all my soul, I will meet your expectations."

"Don't overstretch it. There is no need to hurry to settle. You can do your best at your own pace."

That's how Johannes left the Throne Room.
