Chapter 184: box

Three hundred miles from Carlworth, there is a small town called Troy, which is small in size, but because of its unusually prosperous location, it is comparable to some small cities, and the town ’s mayor is an empire. Earl.
Lord Dignity manages a small town, which is indeed a little overkill, but Vals, as the mayor, goes for it.
Fair, selfless, brave, and wise, this is what the townspeople think of their mayor.
"Master Mayor!"
Vals nodded kindly to the subordinates who had greeted him, then pushed open his office, but when he closed the door, the smile on his face disappeared immediately.
There should be an empty office, but an unexpected visitor appeared. Looking at the man who was hiding under the cloak in front of him, Vals was tense and his right hand quietly touched his waist. Holding his long sword.
"Don't worry, I'm not your enemy."
"What the are you?"
"Know, my name is Guy and I am from the Kingdom of Turin."
"The Kingdom of Turin? You know that your country and the empire are tense, and now they are quietly appearing in my office, aren't you afraid that I will take you down on the charge of spying on the enemy country?"
"You won't, Count Valls." The mysterious man stood up from his chair, then bowed slightly: "Or, more appropriately, you call Viscount Leonard of the Kingdom?"
Vals trembled, and the movements of his hands could not help but stop, his eyes were staring at each other, and he said in astringent voice, "Are the Kingdom planning to start?"
"This thing is not what you care about, you just need to do your own thing."
Even though the other party's tone was still respectful, Wals, also Leonard, could hear that the other party's words were imperative.
"What does the kingdom need me to do?"
"It's simple. Find a way to gather all the residents of the town and open the box in public."
Guy put an ordinary wooden box on the table, his tone was very relaxed, but Leonard really didn't think it would be so simple.
There is nothing strange about the ordinary wooden box in appearance, but intuition tells Leonard that the contents are very dangerous.
"What's in it?"
"I should have reminded you, Viscount Leonard, you just have to follow the Kingdom's order, you don't need to know the specific reason."
"I want to know what's in it, why would you want me to bring all the residents of the town together? What is the purpose of you doing this!"
"It seems that for a few years, it is not a good thing for you to immerse yourself in the glory of the Earl of the Greek Empire and forget the obligations of being a people of the kingdom."
Leonard's expression was a little excited, and his tone became harsher: "I am willing to dedicate my loyalty to the kingdom, but the war between the two countries should not involve civilians."
"Very naive, this is probably why you were excluded by your family." Guy sarcastically put the wooden box in Leonard's hand: "Put away your kindness, the people of the Greek Empire Do n’t deserve your compassion. Remember, this is a big deal about the victory or defeat of the war. If you still think that you are a Turin kingdom, please do as the kingdom orders.

Guy didn't say what would happen if Leonard opposed it, because it was clear that the kingdom would never allow a traitor, let alone a traitor who knew many secrets.
Uh ...
The crisp knock on the door awakened Leonard in a daze, and when he came back, he found that Guy had left his office unconsciously, if not the wooden box in his hand, maybe Leonard Would think that everything before was dreaming.
Leonard forcibly calmed himself, then regained his identity as Wals, quietly put the box under the drawer, and called out to the door: "Please come in."
A beautiful woman came in, and her short blond hair seemed very capable.
"Oh dear, your face is very ugly. Did something happen, or, are you sick?"
"Thank you for your concern, Louise, I'm fine, maybe it was just a bad rest last night." Leonard had a grim smile on his face.
Louise is Leonard's secretary, but at the same time has another identity, that is his fiancee.
From knowing each other to falling in love, the two have spent a long time, Leonard loved each other, and even for a period of time, he raised the idea of ​​forgetting the identity of the Turin Kingdom and aging with the other.
But this beautiful illusion was finally broken by the appearance of Gay today.
After all, he is not a member of the Greek Empire. Even if he can give up his original identity, the Kingdom of Turin will force him into submission. Even if he is unwilling to admit it, his relationship with Louise will end soon.
Leonard's mood was a little complicated when he thought of it, and he looked at the other side with apology.
Louise felt an apology from her fiance, walked up to him, and kissed Leonard's cheek with a bowed head: "Dear, don't feel that you have been ignored because of your recent busyness. I like to see how you work seriously."
Leonard wanted to tell the other party that this was not the case, but he spoke and swallowed it back.
Louise never knew that she was a spy sent by the Kingdom of Turin, and a fiance of hers was an esteemed count of the empire. Even if Leonard had a crush on her, he did not dare to reveal the truth at this time. .
He wasn't afraid of Louise going to tell the truth, because he believed his fiancee's feelings towards him, he was just afraid, and she would not be killed by Guy if she knew too much truth.
Leonard has no doubt at all ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The sudden mysterious man will not hesitate to clear up any stumbling blocks that may hinder the kingdom's plan.
"Louis?"
Louise, who sorted the papers, heard a fiance's cry, and then a beautiful smile appeared.
"Our wedding is next month?"
"Well." Even a more capable woman, when it comes to this, couldn't help showing shyness.
If it was normal, Leonard would have to hold the other person in his arms, so that he could be compassionate, but now he doesn't have any thoughts in this regard.
"I heard that the hot springs in the city of Las Vegas in the north are good, but after all, they are not very reassuring. I ca n’t walk by myself, so I want you to go there and take a look. If you also I think so, I want to use it as our honeymoon after we get married. "
Things are unavoidable, but at least Leonard hopes his fiancee can escape the disaster.
