Chapter 453 The Noble Duke is Cruel and Brutal 17
Leonard glanced at his face calmly.
An expression of sympathy yet unable to conceal pride.
"Did you attract all those noble ladies you hooked up with before with money?"
As he spoke, he sighed lazily and continued slowly, "These things were bought for me by my dear. I didn't want to disappoint her, so I had to wear them."
That tone really deserves a beating.
Denzel was so angry that his teeth itched.
Although it was true that he spent a lot of money on those ladies, those ladies had never bought him such expensive gifts.
But can Leonard stop being so cocky?
He was so angry that he didn't even want to report the matter to Leonard.
Finally, he sighed in frustration.
"Really? In that case, you probably don't want to know about this young lady's affairs anymore."
The smile on Leonard's face faded and he looked at Denzel.
To put it simply: "Speak."
Denzel then seemed to save some face and slowly spoke about some things that had little to do with Lingyao.
Seeing that Leonard was getting impatient, he got to the point.
"You should know her real name, Xuanyuan Lingyao, but there is one thing you definitely don't know."
At this point, Denzel deliberately whetted Leonard's appetite and his voice paused slightly.
Leonard smiled and said, "Denzel, do you need me to nominate you to become a priest soon?"
Denzel's smug look immediately died down.
What annoyed him most was that he would officially become a priest in three years.
Leonard used this to threaten him at this time, which was really pinching his soft spot.
Denzel didn't dare delay any longer.
"Xuanyuan Lingyao, there is someone you like in Xuanyuan Country."
The palace gate was open. It was evening and the cool evening breeze blew in through the doors and windows.
As soon as these words were spoken, the room suddenly became quiet.
Denzel could feel the temperature in the palace drop a few degrees.
Leonard stood there motionless, the burning candlelight reflected in his eyes.
The ocean was on fire, hot and cold.
He touched the ring on his hand lightly with his fingers and forced a chuckle from his chest.
It's hard to describe the emotion in his tone.
"Is it."
Denzel learned this from Anna.
At that time, he divined the Oriental man who would overthrow the Kingdom of Bir.
Just include those Oriental people who are famous nowadays in the list.
Among them, Lingyao ranks number one.
Anna, who used witchcraft from the East to infiltrate the nobles, was naturally also included in his investigation.
An investigation revealed that Anna seemed to have a close connection with Lingyao.
The key point is that yesterday, Anna was found knocked unconscious in the fortune-telling house.
Among them, Anna and the servant she hired had no memory of who attacked them.
Denzel thought of the incident with Brooks.
A light bulb went off in my head, and I felt like I had captured some important information.
A hypnotist was called in to hypnotize Anna and the servant.
But there was no gain, and the two of them really forgot who attacked them.
But it’s not entirely without gain.
In the first few questions of hypnosis, simple questions were asked to make Anna relax her guard.
Like "Who are you?"
But Anna's answer to this ordinary question was quite unexpected.
"I'm Anna." She said this first, and after a pause, she continued, "I'm Xuanyuan Lingyao's maid, Wan'er."
Denzel immediately asked Anna questions about Xuanyuan Lingyao.
The relationship and experience of the two people were gradually analyzed from several questions.
There was just one question that made Denzel raise an eyebrow.
"Because the Ninth Princess fell in love with a palace musician, the Emperor was very angry and sent the Ninth Princess to marry."
There is actually someone I like.
When I heard the news, I didn't know what to do.
Denzel actually felt a little sorry for Leonard.
If he knew that Xuanyuan Lingyao already had someone she loved, he would go crazy.
We almost sent out troops just because someone disappeared yesterday.
You have to know that she already has someone she loves, and knows that everything she does is just a calculation...
So before coming here today, Denzel thought for a long time about how to tell Leonard the news.
Tell him that Xuanyuan Lingyao was the princess sent here for marriage, and tell him that Xuanyuan Lingyao already had someone she loved.
As a result, he was so stimulated by Leonard's proud boasting that he said it out loud.
After I said that, I felt a chill on my back.
His Adam's apple rolled and he immediately wanted to slip away.
However, Leonard grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up.
Denzel, who is over 1.80 meters tall, couldn't move at all in Leonard's hands.
Leonard drawled out his voice.
"Who are you thinking of? Stay here and tell me everything you want to say."
Denzel felt a chill run down his neck at that tone.
So he pushed Anna out to be the scapegoat without any psychological burden.
Anna was not aware that she was being hypnotized.
So, when Leonard's men showed up and took her to the Duke's house, she was confused and nervous.
After all, everyone knows that Xuanyuan Lingyao is now very close to Leonard.
Maybe Xuanyuan Lingyao said something to Leonard.
She had met Leonard a long time ago.
But I just took a glimpse from a distance.
She was far from being able to meet aristocrats of Leonard's class.
But that one glimpse from afar was enough for her to remember him.
Leonard was indeed as the nobles said.
He's a handsome thug.
Anna looked at the figure with its back to her.
Trying my best to calm myself down.
"Your Excellency Duke of Leon, may I ask what is the matter with you?"
Inside the hall, the only sound that could be heard was the whistling wind.
After a long while, when Anna's knees were numb from kneeling, Leonard finally spoke slowly.
"What kind of person is Xiao Yun? Tell me about him."
Anna's pupils suddenly shrank. She didn't understand why Leonard knew Xiao Yun's name.
I can’t believe that Leonard actually knows Lingyao’s past and her relationship with Lingyao!
Her mind was racing.
It was speculated that Xuanyuan Lingyao had not yet forgotten Xiao Yun, and accidentally let the secret slip when she was with Duke Leon.
But Duke Leonard obviously has different feelings towards Xuanyuan Lingyao.
Yes, although Anna didn't want to take advantage of others, she had to admit it.
This handsome yet brutal duke treated Xuanyuan Lingyao differently, which was visibly different from what he saw.
Anna's mind raced.
Slowly start organizing your language.
"Xiao Yun is a famous musician in the Xuanyuan Palace. He is handsome and aloof. He is a few years older than the Ninth Princess. When she was a child, the Ninth Princess often secretly went to play with Xiao Yun..."
"Master Xiao Yun was very cold to everyone, but he was very gentle and considerate to the princess. Later, Master Xiao Yun and the Ninth Princess fell in love with each other and secretly decided to spend their lives together..."
