"Vera, Vera? Are you okay?"
Colin looked at the girl in front of him with a worried look, and asked gently.
He just confessed everything to Vera, including the Marquis Garcia is her biological father, the contradiction between her adoptive father and biological father, the reason why the Duke of St. Hilde marries her to the half-elf kingdom, and the reason behind it. Conspiracy that may be hidden...
Because the Marquis Garcia was captured in Shadow Canyon, and the time to return to the north was just before his eyes, Colin could no longer hide these things.
He didn't want Vera to return to Winter City so ignorantly, to the adoptive father who was malicious towards her.
As for the previous ban by the Marquis of Garcia... it can only be said that things should be urgently followed. I believe that even if he knows later, he can understand Colin's difficulties.
However, such a cruel and ugly reality is still somewhat unacceptable for Vera for a while.
At this moment, she was looking at the ground in a daze, her eyes completely out of focus, her body motionless, as if it were a sculpture.
Colin sighed, held the girl's cold hands, and said again:
"I have sent an envoy to the east to discuss the use of Marquis Vincent to redeem the Marquis of Garcia. When your biological father returns safely, you can ask him in person if you have anything else you can't figure out."
Vera still didn't speak, she seemed to be stupid.
Boom boom.
Hearing the knock on the door, Colin asked impatiently: "What's the matter?"
"Master Viscount, Miss Vera, your majesty's coronation ceremony will begin soon."
"Okay, we will come right away."
Colin squeezed Vera's chin, turned her gaze to himself, and said solemnly: "I know these things are hard to accept for a while, but now is not the time to grieve.
A storm is about to usher in the north, and I must return as soon as possible.
And you, it’s better to return to Ice Rock City with me..."
"No." Vera finally spoke, her voice becoming hoarse.
"No?" Colin frowned. "Do you want to go back to Winter City?"
Vera shook her head again: "I don't want to go back to the North now. At least I don't want to go back to the North until I see my biological father and ask him the details of all this."
Colin wanted to persuade him again, but then he thought about it. It seemed that it would be good to let Vera stay in Silvermoon City: "That's fine, why don't you stay in Silvermoon City, Queen Aisha will take care of you.
And in the future, when you exchange prisoners of war, there is a high probability that the location will be between the two realms. You can wait for the Marquis of Garcia in Silvermoon City. "
Vera nodded and accepted the arrangement.
Colin breathed a sigh of relief, ready to attend the coronation ceremony of the queen.
But when he just got up, he found himself being hugged by Vera from behind: "Sorry, Colin, I need some time..."
Colin slowly turned around, hugged the girl tightly into his arms, and comforted: "It's okay, I can understand."
"Thank you..." Vera gently pushed Colin away again, "You go to the coronation ceremony, don't be late."
"Are you really not going anymore?"
"No, help me apologize to Her Majesty the Queen."
"it is good."
Colin lifted the girl's face, gave a soft kiss, and then turned to leave.
...
"Aisha Miller, today I crown you in the name of the holy ancestor of the San Lorenzo family.
May the Supreme Radiant Lord bless you and be inviolable from now on,
May my lord guide you along the way and remove your obstacles...
You should have mercy on your people and ensure their livelihoods,
You should respect your vassals and give them glory,
You should maintain the prestige of the half-elf kingdom so that it will not be covered in dust...
Remember, you are the lord of Silvermoon City, the king of half-elves, and a loyal vassal of the San Lorenzo family. May you live up to the expectations of the half-elves, the trust of the emperor, and the glory of the emperor. The glory of the Lord..."
Half-elf palace, inside the hall of discussion.
Prince Harrison was wearing a golden robe, holding a half-elf crown, and chanting long prayers solemnly.
His face was very pale, and his expression was a little wilted, as if he hadn't rested well recently.
Seeing this scene, Colin inevitably felt a rush of conspiracy success in his heart.
He knew that he had successfully planted the seeds of hatred in Prince Harrison's young heart, and he was waiting for one day in the future to blossom and bear fruit, giving the San Lorenzo family a surprise.
Thinking of this, Colin couldn't help but look at Queen Midella who was standing beside Harrison.
This gorgeous queen, whose facial features were quite similar to Vera, was also looking at Colin at this time.
With his eyes facing each other, Colin immediately put on a perfect smile and nodded in greeting.
Queen Midella also smiled, and her big watery eyes stared at Colin without blinking, as if to say--
Young man, you successfully caught my attention.
At this moment, Harrison finally put the half-elf crown on Aisha's head.
When the half-elf queen wearing the crown stood up and faced the crowd, all the half-elf nobles present withdrew their swords, knelt on one knee, and swore:
"My king, I pledge allegiance to you from today to forever!"
Queen Aisha lifted the skirt and responded to her vassals.
Subsequently, the queen personally canonized four knights, respectively serving as her sword bearer, bow bearer, shield bearer and horse bearer.
This knight is a member of the Miller family without exception, and they will accompany Queen Aisha from now on and become her guardian knight.
At this point, the coronation ceremony officially ended.
Queen Aisha wore a half-elf crown on her head, and left the council hall surrounded by the crowd.
She will host a dinner in the banquet hall to entertain the royal family of San Lorenzo and all the nobles who come to watch the ceremony.
...
It's getting late and the lights are beginning to come on.
On the floor of the banquet hall paved with red paulownia wood, there are three long square tables, which are full of various kinds of wine and delicacies.
Creamy salmon pie, honey pine nut cake, smoked salmon salad... and the royal collection of champagne.
The brightly dressed half-elf maids stand like sculptures by the long tables, ready to serve the guests who come to eat. Unfortunately, there are not many guests who come to patronize, and even if they are used, they are just a taste.
When Colin walked into the hall alone, the banquet had not yet officially started.
He went straight to the long table, ignoring the table full of delicacies, and went straight to his goal-deer blood wine!
According to common sense, on such a formal occasion, deer blood wine will not be put on the table, but obviously, this bottle of deer blood wine was prepared by Queen Aisha specially instructed by her attendants.
At this time, a mature and lazy voice suddenly sounded: "Your Excellency, do you need some lemon?"
Colin looked back and saw the protagonist of today's banquet-Queen Aisha standing behind him.
She was wearing a fiery red veil, with a half-elf crown on her golden hair, and the bright smile on her face made the crystal magic lamp look dimmed.
"Okay." Colin smiled, knowing that the queen wanted to help him cover the smell and accepted the other's kindness.
"By the way, Vera doesn't want to return to Ice Rock City with me, but wants to stay in Silvermoon City and wait for Marquis Garcia, so I hope you can take care of it."
"No problem, it's my pleasure."
"Well, remember, don't let her return to Winter City, even if the Duke of St. Hild sends someone to urge you, don't let it go!"
"I understand."
At this moment, there was another commotion at the entrance of the hall.
Colin looked up and saw Queen Midella leading Prince Harrison in.
I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, Queen Midella also wore a fiery red dress, revealing slender arms and a large smooth back. During the walk, the willow waist was lightly swinging, and the grace and grace were infinite, which attracted a lot of noble and gentlemen to look sideways.
Queen Aisha quickly stepped forward to greet her.
The melodious music sounded at the right time, and the banquet officially began.
