Queen Midella sank her body into the soft sofa, her beautiful red lips pursing a smile, her chest in one hand and her cheek in the other.
The golden hair was casually draped over his shoulders like the noon sun, and the slender snow-white calves swayed gently under the red skirt, with a lazy mood and a charming look.
It is a pity that Colin was not in the mood to admire the picture of beauty in front of him at this time.
Even, a strong dissatisfaction arose in his heart—
Obviously it was the trouble caused by Emperor Reinhardt. As a result, he was constantly rushing around, striving for the support of all the bigwigs. But your husband and wife are good, one pretending to be sick, the other unconsciously showing off...
"Aunt, are you waiting for us?"
"Yes." Queen Midella sat upright and smiled. "Looking at your appearance, do you know about the death of Archon Letome?"
Vera glanced at Colin, and when he saw his gloomy face, she nodded and said, "Yes, we just ate at the Archon's house in Crete and heard the news halfway through.
Aunt, why do you seem not worried at all? "
"What is there to worry about?" Queen Midella said with a soft smile, "It's you guys who are tossing about this matter.
Hey, didn't I tell you at the beginning? Just wait at ease in the Phoenix Palace. Once the time comes, Vera will naturally inherit the title of Duke of the North. "
"Auntie, Prince Leahy is about to start a war against Yeville. How can I wait here with peace of mind?"
"Then you toss for a few days, have you got any good results?"
Facing Queen Midella's rhetorical question, Vera suddenly became a little frustrated, lowered her head and said nothing.
At this time, Colin took the conversation and asked in a deep voice: "Your Royal Highness, have you already had a solution?"
Queen Midella smiled charmingly, but did not answer Colin's question, but said:
"The death of the Archon of Letome is unknown, and at such a critical and sensitive moment, the Senate will not let it go. Some people will definitely pay for it!"
Colin looked at Queen Midella with a confident face, and couldn't help but blurt out: "You are so sure that the Senate can catch the real murderer?"
"Of course!" Queen Midella replied without hesitation.
Colin's brows frowned tightly. He just wanted to say, could it be that with Prince Leahy's strength, what traces would be left by killing an old consul?
But then he woke up, it was a game at all!
Queen Midella is so confident that there is only one possibility-framed up!
Colin found that he had been misled all the time. The death of the Archon of Letome had indeed benefited Prince Leahy the most, so he took it for granted that Prince Leahy had killed him.
Moreover, Prince Lexi did have this strength, and could kill a consul without knowing it.
However, the attitude of Queen Midella now made Colin react, the Archon of Letom might not have been killed by Prince Leahy!
It could also be the queen, no, it should be a trap set by the Reinhardt family for Prince Leahy.
Colin didn't know what they had done with the body of the Archon of Letom, so that Prince Leahy could not get rid of the suspicion of killing.
But looking at the demeanor of Queen Midella, they must be confident enough to make Prince Leahy unable to argue.
As long as Prince Leahy was charged with killing a consul, he would surely become a public enemy of the nobility.
Even if no one dared to use such a crime to execute a paladin, Prince Leahy also betrayed the crowd and completely lost his appeal. It is estimated that he can only become a wandering knight from now on.
In this way, the proposal to declare war on the Master naturally died.
Moreover, through this incident, the emperor drove away the biggest obstacle to his control of the empire. From then on, Yulongcheng will truly be brought into the absolute control of Emperor Reinhardt.
Looking at Colin whose face was constantly changing, Queen Midella seemed to see through what he was thinking.
She got up quietly, came to Colin, and said lightly: "Now you should understand that at the original welcome banquet, why did I remind you not to mess around?"
At this time, the charming smile on Queen Midella's face has disappeared, replaced by awe-inspiring dignity, demonstrating the authority that an empire should have.
Of course Colin understood.
It turns out that this declaration of war proposal is a trap from beginning to end, just to weave a murderous motive for Prince Leahy!
As for whether the proposal will be passed, Queen Midella has not cared about it from the beginning.
It is ridiculous that Colin and Vera are still kept in the dark, running around smartly.
What’s even more ridiculous is that Colin was about to succeed. With the support of the first veterans of the Western Territory, and with the delay of the Archon of Letom, Vera could remotely pressure the veterans of the North Territory through the Marquis of Garcia. Let them disregard the demands of the Sebastian consul and vote against the proposal.
Who would have thought that at the last moment, it was his allies who had completely strangled the plans of Colin and others in the bud.
No, not an ally.
Colin once thought he and the emperor and empress were allies, but he didn't expect that he would not be considered by him at all.
"Just wait with peace of mind", "Don't mess around."
The efforts of Colin and Vera in the past few days are just a joke in the eyes of each other. Even if they are about to achieve their goals, their goals are not the goals of the emperor and the queen, and their efforts can be obliterated by the emperor and the queen at will.
Empress Midella stared at Colin blankly, and said coldly: "Perhaps we had some misunderstandings in Silvermoon City before, so you lacked the necessary trust in me.
But I don’t want this to happen again, otherwise..."
Queen Midella did not continue to speak, but her lingering eyes had already made the meaning very clear.
Upon seeing this, Vera hurriedly stepped forward to persuade and said, "Auntie, we also want to help this time. It's not that we don't believe you."
Colin suppressed the resentment in his heart, bowed his head and said respectfully: "His Royal Highness, I know that I was reckless this time and almost broke your plan. I sincerely apologize to you.
As for the misunderstanding of Silvermoon City you mentioned, I assure you that there is no such thing at all!
I have only unlimited respect and trust for you! "
"That's the best." A charming smile finally appeared on Queen Midella's face again, "Colin, you are a wise man and a capable person, with you assisting Vera to guard the northern border, Your Majesty And I are at ease.
So, don't do stupid things anymore, otherwise, the Lord of the North is not Vera! "
This sentence is very heavy.
Colin and Vera could only endure with their heads down obediently.
The authority of the Queen of the Empire is at this moment, unfolding.
"Well, you guys rest early. There is still a good show to watch tomorrow."
After Queen Midella said this, she moved her willow waist lightly and walked out.
Vera thought of something, and suddenly shouted from behind: "Auntie, when we came back, we met Sir Ernest, the speaker of the Magistrate Council. He said he wanted to meet your Majesty!"
But Queen Midella didn't turn her head back, and coldly dropped a sentence: "Hehe, a fool who has been immersed in arcane research and fooled herself, and wants to see your majesty..."
Before the words fell, Miao Man's figure had disappeared into the night.
"Colin, it seems that my aunt is really angry." Vera took Colin's hand anxiously and said softly.
"Don't worry, we didn't cause any trouble. Your aunt is just a lesson." Colin smiled and comforted.
Vera nodded and said, "Then we should ask my aunt for what we do in the future, and don't question her decision anymore."
"Okay." Colin agreed with a smile, quietly hiding the dangerous light in his eyes.
How could he endure such contempt by Queen Midella.
Especially the other party’s phrase "The Lord of the North is not Vera" made Colin realize that what Queen Midella wants is an obedient North. As for who is the master of the North, she might be true. Don't care.
Vera can, and of course Joyce can.
This gave Colin a deep sense of crisis.
