Chapter 456 The Noble Duke is Cruel and Brutal 20
The king's punishment for Leonard has not yet come down, but the Blue family has taken the initiative to propose to pardon Leonard's crime.
And admitted that Brooks' injury at the time had nothing to do with Leonard.
When the king learned about this, he was both dissatisfied and confused and asked the Blue family for an explanation.
However, the Blue family had no intention of explaining.
It just said that Brooks had just recovered from a serious illness, and I remembered it wrongly.
The person who hurt him that day was not Leonard at all.
As a result, the punishment order drafted by the king could no longer be issued.
The king looked understanding and waited for the Blue family members to leave.
His face changed and he became furious.
Prince Hart, who was waiting nearby, quickly tried to calm the king down.
"Father, don't be too angry. I have a good way to make Leonard lose face."
King Bill looked at Hart and motioned him to speak.
Hart nodded and spoke slowly to King Bill.
"Father, according to my investigation these days, Leonard and the oriental woman named Lingyao have a close relationship, and Leonard seems to care about her very much."
Hart paused, a smirk on his face.
"In that case, why don't you send that oriental girl to me in the name of learning the oriental language? Then we will have Leonard's weak spot in our hands, and he will have to do whatever we want him to do."
What Hart didn't say was that he also wanted to capture the woman's heart.
Hart, who is very popular among the noble ladies, is very confident in himself.
Compared with Leonard, he is more gentlemanly and approachable.
As long as you deliberately exude your charm, I believe that oriental woman will know who is the better choice.
Ever since Leonard came back, Hart has been suppressed by him in every aspect, and he has had enough.
Leonard took away his territory and his power.
Then he would take away Leonard's precious person.
It can be considered as a tooth for a tooth.
When King Bill heard the proposal, he did not agree immediately.
Instead, he narrowed his eyes and thought deeply.
He wasn't considering the feasibility of this.
Instead, I felt that the name Lingyao was somewhat familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere before, but I couldn't quite remember where.
Finally, King Bill gave up wondering why the name was so familiar.
Instead, he agreed to Hart's suggestion.
He ordered Lingyao to give Hart two hours of Oriental language lessons every day.
Of course, to make things seem reasonable.
There is a fee for each daily course.
Leonard is dealing with the "rat" that was discovered a few days ago.
Brürick did put people around him.
The personal servant Brukrick couldn't get in yet, and the "rat" was a gardener in the back garden.
But his lover was the maid who was responsible for organizing Leonard's clothes.
Using the maid's identity, the gardener stole the brooch that Leonard wore to the party that day.
In the dark and closed secret room, the air was filled with corpses and a strong smell of blood spread throughout the cell.
The gardener was hanging on a wooden frame not far away, motionless.
Only the slight rise and fall of his chest indicated that he was still alive.
Leonard was wearing a royal blue suit and his medium-length, slightly curly blonde hair was tied behind his head.
A knife was thrown lazily on his fingers.
The knife turned in his hand in a smooth and beautiful arc.
"Your Excellency the Duke, the gardener has confessed everything. Do you want to bring the maid over to be punished as well?"
Leonard looked up at the dusty old clock on the wall.
He said in boredom: "It's almost time for her to go back. I have to leave first. You guys can handle the rest."
After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the secret room slowly.
He completely ignored the indescribable expression on Ma Lixiu's face behind him.
After Leonard went out, he found a sachet and hung it on his body.
Get rid of all the bloody smell on your body.
He knew she didn't like seeing blood on him.
Leonard finished the inspection and went home in a happy mood.
Usually Lingyao would have gone back by this time.
The fact is just as Leonard expected, Lingyao has returned to the Duke's Mansion.
Leonard took off his suit jacket and walked hurriedly into the house.
He pounced directly on Lingyao who was standing there looking at something.
Lingyao was pounced on by him, and she flipped her fingers and immediately put away the things in her hand.
Leonard was puzzled: "Honey, what is it that you would hide from me."
There are many things I have hidden from you.
Lingyao said in her heart.
But what he said was: "Children can't watch it."
As he said this, he stuffed the king's edict, which the child was not allowed to read, into the box.
Leonard raised the corner of his mouth slightly and swirled the word "child" in Lingyao's mouth on the tip of his tongue.
An inexplicable sweet feeling welled up in my heart.
He put his arms around Lingyao's waist and rested his head on her shoulder.
The voice was gentle: "Dear, did you just say I was a baby? If I am a baby, what are you?"
I'm your dad.
This answer popped into Lingyao's mind in an instant.
Fortunately, I didn't say it out loud.
Lingyao stared at him for a while and said indifferently: "It's whatever you think."
It’s just a matter of words anyway.
Leonard chuckled.
Her eyebrows were lowered, and her every frown and smile was filled with a radiant charm that was visible to the naked eye.
There was no sun in the room, but it seemed as if the sun was shining on him.
It hit his thick, dark eyelashes and his tall, straight nose.
His voice was gentle and tender, and every word he spoke echoed in people's ears.
"You are darling, honey, and baby."
“It’s my favorite.”
The people of Bir, whether men or women, old or young, are very direct and frank in expressing their love.
In this regard, Leonard seems to have inherited Bill's character.
Even better than his predecessor.
Lingyao was quite satisfied with his answer. She waved her hand and took Leonard out for dinner.
The chosen location was the most expensive restaurant in the country of Bir.
This restaurant only accepts nobles and upper-class people, and ordinary people can't even get an admission ticket.
Lingyao doesn't have the status of an upper-class person, but she has the ability of an upper-class person.
At least the restaurant recognized her ability.
So when he knew Lingyao was coming to eat, he immediately arranged a seat for her.
But I didn't expect that Duke Leonard would come with Lingyao.
Everyone in the restaurant felt surprised and a little timid.
After all, Duke Leonard rarely eats out.
Everyone in the restaurant was a little timid when facing Leonard.
After all, everyone heard that Duke Leonard was very difficult to get along with.
He has a weird temper and does cruel things.
It is said that if you make him angry by mistake, you may easily lose your life.
So the servants who had originally rushed to receive Lingyao, the mobile treasury, now began to shirk their responsibilities.
