That's very badass

Chapter 57 Preparation
Baron Leon came to Duke Osborne's study unimpeded, and waited quietly for his summons after the soldiers reported back.

Soon after, Duke Osborne's voice was heard coming from inside.

"Let Baron Leon come in."

The guard who heard the words knocked on the door lightly a few times before motioning for Baron Leon to enter.

This is a study room that has been around for some years. Judging from the overall luster, it is due to the passage of dust and even rays in the air over the long years, gradually forming a surface shell, which is dim and quiet.

The same is true for most of the books on the bookshelves. They are old books, mostly written during the First Empire. Perhaps because of frequent reading and careful maintenance, they appear to be timeless.

Looking at the paperwork piled up on the desk and Duke Osborne's gray hair, he couldn't help feeling a little ashamed of his recklessness.

The Duke of Osborne looked at the ashamed Baron Leon, pointed at the documents on the table with some amusement and said, "These are all documents waiting to be processed. This man is old and has lost energy. It will be a big deal to deal with." Not as good as it used to be."

After finishing speaking, he was ready to read this article, and closed the document after processing it, "When will our Baron Leon learn to be ashamed, Jindu has come in, tell me, what's the matter?"

However, this only made Baron Leon even more embarrassed, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and dictate to Duke Osborne what Roland had said.

He just didn't add his own subjective judgment. Although he didn't like Viscount Whinette very much, he could still maintain a certain degree of neutrality on this matter.

After listening to Baron Leon's report, Duke Osborne just felt that the name Roland was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

He simply asked directly, and it was not until Baron Leon reminded him that he remembered that it was the boy he had some impressions of, at least his soldiers left a deep impression on him.

Duke Osborne was very satisfied with the matter he had done, because it involved his vassals and not too many people should know about it.He also didn't make rash comments because of his bad relationship with Viscount Whitnet. It seems that his character has changed a lot, at least he is no longer so reckless. If he was in the past, he would definitely make a fuss about this matter. .

It is precisely because of this that his relationship with many other vassals of the Osborne family is very cold.

The Duke of Osborne first praised his attitude, and then he tapped one hand on the table blankly.

Baron Leon knew that this was the usual habit of the Duke of Osborne when he was thinking about problems; therefore, he just stood quietly and waited.

"Okay, I know about this matter, you let Roland be in the daytime tomorrow..." Speaking of this, Duke Osborne paused, looked at the documents on the table, and suddenly remembered that he had to deal with official documents during the day, "Forget it Well, it’s better at night for this kind of thing, you let him come to me at night, it’s still the study, I will dismiss the guards.”

"My lord, why dismiss the guards? Your safety?"

"Of course the reason for dismissing the guards is that too many people should not know about this matter before it is determined." Hearing the security issue, he suddenly said with some amusement: "Who can threaten my safety in this city? Don't forget, you are Even my brother Neo can't beat him, and he's just my defeated opponent."

Duke Osborne's words made him a little embarrassed, thinking, "It has been almost 10 years since I lost to Neo Osborn, and now he must not be able to beat me. As for you, you must be defeated by Neo Osborn now Siben can't even beat him. '

Although he thought so in his heart, he couldn't say it out, otherwise he might be scolded bloody, so he had to change his words: "My lord, I am also a participant in this matter, or I will come to listen."

Baron Leon's careful thoughts could not be hidden from Duke Osborne, but seeing that what he said was reasonable, he agreed to his request.

After finishing the chat, Duke Osborne lowered his head and began to deal with the paperwork on the table. Seeing this, Baron Leon turned away gently and closed the door at the same time.

After Baron Leon left, Roland was worried about his gains and losses. He kept drinking tea. Seeing that he hadn't returned for a long time, he was even more restless, so he simply stood up and walked around the reception room.

Seeing this, the servant tried to persuade him a few times, but when he couldn't persuade him, he had no choice but to give up and stood aside and waited.Looking at this strange guest, he asked from time to time, waiting for the guest's order.

Baron Leon, who had just entered the gate, was seen by Roland, who had been waiting for a long time, and greeted him directly.

"How is it? What did the Duke say? Did you agree to meet? When?"

"Don't worry, let me drink some water first."

Facing Roland's messy words and anxious expression, Baron Leon shook his head helplessly, sat down on the seat, held a teacup, and drank slowly.

He was going to imitate Duke Osborne and temper Roland's impatience. He thought that he was tempered by Duke Osborne in the same way, and it was very uncomfortable at that time.

Now that he treats others like this, he realizes that this feeling is quite cool.

Roland looked at Baron Leon, who shook his head and sat down to drink tea slowly, and his heart slowly sank. But remembering what he said about not being in a hurry, he had to keep rehearsing in his mind, 'Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry.' '

While taking a deep breath, I felt a lot better. Just now I almost couldn't help but beat this bastard.

Looking at the quiet Roland, Baron Leon, who had had enough of his addiction, slowly said: "Because this matter concerns the reputation of the vassal, Your Excellency the Duke decided to see you tomorrow night, because I am also an insider, and the scene will The three of us."

Roland calmed down instantly after hearing this.

Since Duke Osborne is willing to see him, it means that he still believes in him. Otherwise, he could not meet him and accuse himself of slander.

But why would he do it?Could it be because of Baron Leon?

Although the Duke was rumored to be very fair, he also saw some soldiers who got along well with civilians outside the city. At the same time, there was also a man standing next to him who was barely familiar with him just because he had a fight with him. , so he went to see the Duke of Baron Leon for his own sake.

Thinking of this, Roland immediately felt a lot of peace in his heart, but his family knew about him, so he didn't have much confidence in proving Viscount Whitnet's conspiracy.

He touched the statement written by Andal about Viscount Whitnet, who sent the family knight Jeremy Knight to win him over, in an attempt to make him betray the master.

Because Andal has been deprived of his knight status, he no longer has any seals that can prove his identity, which makes him unable to prove that he is himself in this statement, let alone other things.

I don't know if the Duke, who pleaded for Andal at that time, still remembers the bumpy road ahead for this little guy.

In fact, Baron Leon didn't know much about Viscount Whitnet, he just vaguely guessed what conspiracy Viscount Whitnet used, but he didn't want to know about it.I just heard him say that the territory to be opened up is huge, and Roland will at least be a powerful viscount in the future.

If Roland can say a big thing about Viscount Whitnet, it must be at least as big as the Viscount.

This is also a boost to Duke Osborne, who talks about the orcs' comeback every day. The reason why he asked to see the Duke was not what he thought, but simply because he was optimistic about him.

Of course, that optimism is also indispensable, otherwise he wouldn't have talked so much with Roland.
