Chapter 460 The Noble Duke is Cruel and Brutal 24

Lingyao doesn't need to plan anything about Anna and Prince Hart.

All we need to do is to incite Anna to rebel and let her be discovered accidentally.

So Prince Hart couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried. It was obvious that he and Anna had been cautious and careful enough.

Why is it still discovered?

Prince Hart naturally didn't think of Anna at this time.

Because in his heart, he and Anna were like a pair of mandarin ducks that were separated by a stick.

Anna was definitely on his side.

Otherwise, if she leaked it, what good would it do her?

Under normal circumstances, Anna would certainly not reveal it on her own initiative.

She hoped that no one would find out.

But this is generally the case when Lingyao does not take action.

And now, Lingyao took action.

Anna was initially hesitant about whether to cooperate with Lingyao.

It turns out that she had no fucking choice at all.

Xuanyuan Lingyao literally put a knife to her neck and asked her if she wanted to cooperate.

Anna was flexible and quickly agreed.

She was now even more certain that the person who had attacked her and robbed her of everything was Lingyao.

But what can I do even if I know it?

Now she is no match for Xuanyuan Lingyao at all.

Not only has Xuanyuan Lingyao changed tremendously, but she also has the support of Duke Leon behind her.

Anna hesitated for a moment, then agreed without any psychological burden.

As for whether he would feel guilty for betraying Prince Hart?

Hart can only blame himself for being too cowardly and having no say.

Otherwise, they wouldn't need to hide.

And how could she betray him?

Birds choose good trees to roost in, how can you blame her?

Prince Hart, who was originally considered by everyone to be the most likely successor to the throne, had gone through this.

He lost the support of the people in an instant.

The common people thought that he was a playboy and was having affairs with other women even though he had a fiancée.

Even personal life is so chaotic, let alone being able to heal a country.

The nobles felt that it was a disgrace for Hart to fall in love with a commoner.

Moreover, the Bella family is in the upper class of the nobility and has a lot of say.

After the engagement with the Bella family broke down, the officials who had originally stood on the side of the Second Prince Hart began to hesitate.

At this moment, the fourth and fifth princes, who had been keeping a low profile, took advantage of this excellent opportunity to win over the hearts of the people.

It is not surprising that the fifth prince took action.

After all, he is the second prince's biggest rival in the competition.

The key point is the fourth prince Henry, who had been unknown before and seemed to have no desire for the throne.

In addition, the mother of the fourth prince Henry was of a very disrespectful nature. She was a maid in the queen's palace at the time.

Over the years, neither the nobles nor King Bill took him seriously.

The fourth prince Henry also knew the current situation and kept a low profile in his work and life.

Hart didn't expect that as time passed, the insignificant Henry would dare to compete with him for the throne.

Withdrew from the hall where the king discussed state affairs.

Hart looked grim.

When he glanced at Henry, who was wearing a military uniform, his face showed contempt.

He curled the corners of his lips and said with a forced smile.

"Father sent you to suppress the rebels in the west. Henry, you must be careful. No matter how great your achievements are, you must come back alive."

The king actually sent a man who had never been on the battlefield to quell the war.

It's ridiculous.

Henry smiled calmly, as if he couldn't hear the sarcasm in Hart's words.

"Thank you for your concern. I will be back safely."

Hart felt like he had punched cotton. He wanted to get angry but couldn't find a reason to get angry.

On the way back, he couldn't help but complain about everything in front of Anna.

"Father is so irrational. How could he hand over the military power to Henry? Although it is only temporary, he has always given me the task of accumulating military achievements like this."

Anna gently took Hart's hand to comfort him.

"The king did this because you have been at the center of controversy recently and need to stay out of the spotlight. The fourth prince is not proficient in military affairs. Wouldn't it be better for the king to send him to compare your military capabilities?"

Anna's words made sense.

But I couldn't help but add in my heart: That's strange.

After all, she had seen the fourth prince Henry appear in Leonard's Duke's Palace before.

Although Anna didn't know what the relationship between the fourth prince and Leonard was.

But Anna knew very well that no matter what the connection was, the Fourth Prince was definitely not as indifferent and mediocre as he appeared.

It’s a pity that she and the other nobles bet on the wrong person.

The fourth prince may be the one who can truly inherit the throne.

At this time, the fourth prince, disguised himself and took the imperial edict he had just received, and came to the Duke of Leon's palace.

It happened to be when the mansion was bustling.

More than a dozen boxes were moved into the Duke's Mansion one after another.

Hunter's eyebrows jumped when he saw the situation.

Boxes this large are usually used to transport munitions.

This Duke of Leon is not going to...

But if Duke Leon wanted to rebel, why would he contact him?

Hunter walked in with a frown and fixed his eyes.

Before I even stepped into the house, I heard a familiar voice.

"Leon, don't be so stingy. How about I give you five gold bars in exchange for one box? Just one box. I'll take any more if you give me more... Of course I'll take them all!"

Father Denzel's voice reached his ears first, and then he saw the figure standing not far away with his hands on his hips.

Several boxes in the house have been opened.

There were no munitions as Hunter had imagined.

They were all foods that looked a bit "strange".

To say it was strange was because Hunter had never seen it before, let alone eaten it.

However, one of the bottles had already been opened.

The aroma of sweet wine gushed out of the glass bottle and penetrated into my nostrils.

Sweet and tipsy.

You can tell it’s good wine as soon as you smell it.

No wonder Denzel was willing to exchange it for 5 gold bars.

But judging from Duke Leon's expression, he didn't seem to intend to exchange it.

Of course Leonard refused to exchange it. The value of this box of things could not be exchanged for five gold bars.

The cost of transporting the five gold bars is not enough.

Denzel knew he was in the wrong, so he just smiled and said nothing when he saw Leonard.

He guiltily withdrew the five fingers he had extended.

Then a wicked smile appeared on his face, no longer the holy and solemn priest in everyone's mind.

"It's alright, Duke Leon. I don't ask for a box to take back. Five gold bars will do for me to come over and have a few bites anytime."

Thinking of the few oriental delicacies he had luckily gotten to eat before, Denzel was almost drooling.

Leonard frowned slightly when he saw that he was about to drool.

How can he be intimate with his dear when Denzel comes over to eat and drink for free?

Besides, Denzel has a big appetite and eats a lot.

Leonard frowned and thought for three seconds.

He held up a finger in front of Denzel's eyes. "50 gold bars in exchange."

Denzel hissed, startled by Leonard's lion-like mouth.

"50 gold bars is too much for you, Your Excellency the Duke." How could you get ten times the amount?

Leonard curled his lips noncommittally: "My dear, this gift is worth the price."
