The both siblings naturally didn't know that the Fourth Prince they were paying attention to was not the real Fourth Prince.
The real Fourth Prince was sitting opposite them at this moment, yawning all the time because of staying up late to gamble, but they automatically filtered him out.
And Leon, whom they wanted to see, was currently arguing with a fat man of similar age.
"As soon as the fat man appeared, he introduced himself: he was a descendant of a noble family, the son of the current Earl of Blackwood, and his name was Edward Blackwood."
This person was not a domineering person. He just politely approached Leon and said that he was sitting in his seat and asked to switch.
"Brother Edward, there is no need to say more. This position of mine has been checked again and again by the attendants who receive guests. It is definitely not wrong. It must be you who made a mistake."
He glanced at the seat behind him again. It was the last seat here. How could he not understand the other party's thoughts?
This is like the ranking in a class exam. The last one is always the most likely to attract attention from all parties.
The second-to-last person, although only one place behind, will not be noticed by many people because the first-to-last person is too popular.
"After all this time, it turns out I'm the second to last."
Leon completely understood his position in the heart of the Emperor of verlia, but he did not stand up and change seats as the fat man wished.
It's very simple. Who would want to be the last one when you can be the second to last one?
Don't I, Leon, have any face?
"Edward bowed several times. "Brother, please, it's a rare opportunity for me to be invited by the court. If my father finds out that I'm sitting in the last place, he'll be so angry that he'll die."
"Oh, Brother Edward, what you mean is that I don't have a father?" Leon asked back.
"Uh, this... this brother, please don't misunderstand me, I didn't mean that."
"Edward secretly pulled out a banknote from his sleeve and said in a flattering manner, 'Brother, please be flexible.'
'Brother Edward, what do you mean? Do you think I am a greedy person who forgets his principles?'
He offered fifty crowns, where did this prodigal son come from? Leon shook his sleeves, pretending to be unhappy, and decided to lure the other party first."
"Haha, how could that be? From my observation of your face, I can tell that you are a kind-hearted person who likes to help others."
Edward took out another crown.
Leon's eyelids jumped. This sheep was too fat. Now was not a good time to take action.
"Edward took out another silver note.
Leon's eyelids twitched. This man was too generous. Now was not the time to take action.
"Brother Edward, stop. You know this is not about money. It's about our reputation. How could I easily..."
"I understand," Edward said with a sly grin. "Money is valuable, but reputation is even more valuable, haha."
Edward was not angered either. He smiled again and reached into his sleeve. Suddenly, a discordant laugh rang out from the side:
"Haha... everyone, come and have a look! Two of the least deserving are fighting over the second-to-last position. Isn't that funny?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, the crowd around him erupted into laughter.
"Leonardo, it's you!"
The fat man stuffed the banknotes back into his sleeve, walked past Leon and stood in front of the visitor, glaring at him.
"Brother Edward ..." Leon spoke urgently.
"Brother, you don't need to ask any more questions. His name is Leonardo. He is from a noble family like me, and he is also one of the people I hate the most."
Edward clever answer made Leon couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Is this what I'm asking?
There was once a hundred crown in front of me, but I didn't cherish it. I regretted it only after I lost it... Leon was so distressed that he didn't have any good feelings towards Leonardo.
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Edward, the disgrace of the nobles? How much money have you prepared to squander for an occasion like today?"
Before Edward could speak, Leon took over the conversation directly: "How much money they prepare is none of your business.
What, are you jealous?"
Edward was a little slow to react. He looked at Leon gratefully and raised his chin towards Leonard: "That's right, it's none of your business how I ruin my family. Are you dissatisfied with my family being richer than yours?"
"Um?!"
Leonard was immediately enraged. He glared at Leon and threatened, "Who are you? Tell me your name if you dare!"
"I'll report it if you ask me to?"
Leon sneered, "Who do you think you are?"
"Well said, who do you think you are Leonard?" Edward repeated, feeling a little favorable towards Leon
"Humph! I think you are too guilty to dare!"
Leonard laughed in anger, looking at Leon's seat and sarcastically said, "I almost forgot, to be able to sit in this position, he must be an important person, no wonder he doesn't have the courage to say his name."
He took a step forward, approached Leon and threatened in a low voice: "Boy, this is a matter between Edward and me. You are not qualified to interfere. Listen and don't overestimate your abilities,otherwise the consequences will serious... Ouch!"
He suddenly leaned back, cried out in pain, and staggered back.After he stood still, he covered his nose and glared at Leon, gritting his teeth and said, "How dare you hit me!"
With a loud noise, a group of people stood up behind him."How dare you hit Brother Leonard? You are courting death!"
"Brother Leonard, please be patient. As your friends, we will seek justice for you."
Seeing everyone approaching, Edward hurriedly stood in front of Leon, his voice a little weak: "You...you better not mess around..."
"Don't worry, Brother Edward, they don't dare."At this moment, a hand patted his thick shoulder, and Leon walked past him without any fear, and even a teasing smile on his face.
"Haha, what did he say? Did he think we dare not hit him?""Boy, do you know that we are arrogant in the Empire? Would we be afraid of a small character like you?"
"Don't waste your time talking to him. Beat him up first."Everyone looked at him like an idiot. Once noble children like them formed a group, there would be few people of the same age in the capital who could not bully them.
"Wow, so powerful, I'm so scared, I can't afford to offend you, I'll just stand here and let you hit me.
"But I have to state in advance that I am very afraid of pain. If anyone touches me, I will definitely scream in pain."
Leon stood forward in a very bachelor manner and spread his hands: "I'm done, everyone please start."
The other party looked at each other, but no one dared to take action.
They were awakened only by Leon's words.
What is the occasion today?
How could these children of noble families act recklessly?
Now that all the court officials have arrived and the Emperor of verlia will be arriving soon, the atmosphere is serious.
If Leon roared a few times regardless of the consequences at this moment, he would definitely be in trouble, but this group of people would also definitely be held responsible.
The key point is that there are so many civil servants present. If they take the opportunity to attack their fathers, then even the whole family will be implicated.
One for a group, Leon won't lose anyway.
Damn it, what a good move to die together, this guy is so cruel and has no martial ethics!
Everyone was furious, but they could only act cautiously.
Leonard looked at Leon who had a sneer on his face, wiped the blood from his nose, and could only swallow this loss in silence, with a thousand grassland beasts running wildly in his mind.After all the years of bullying in the capital, this was the first time he was defeated by an unknown person.
Who is this kid?!
