Night fell.
Vera, who had just finished bathing, changed into a silk nightdress, her snow-white slender feet lightly touched the pine wood floor, and her slender body was sitting diagonally in front of the dressing table, facing a bronze mirror, coiling her hair in a bun.
A pretty face was reflected in the mirror, dimly like a rose just moistened by rain and dew, beautiful and unparalleled.
The room was filled with a faint fragrance, fresh and timeless, lingering.
Colin lay halfway on the sofa, quietly admiring the expression of Vera's young wife, and suddenly smiled and asked:
"What's the matter with the golden mark on your chest?"
Vera tilted her head, and she was also puzzled: "I don't know, it seems to have just appeared today, maybe it has something to do with the baptism ceremony."
Colin gradually reduced his smile, frowned and said, "Baptism?"
"Well, but I don't think there is anything abnormal in my body." Vera didn't care.
Seeing Colin worrying about herself, Vera walked over on tiptoe, flung onto the sofa lightly, and got into the arms of her lover.
"Let me take a closer look, then." Colin grabbed Vera's slender waist and reached out to untie her nightdress.
Vera chuckled and didn't stop.
But at this moment, the door of the room was knocked suddenly.
Colin had to stop his movements and asked angrily: "What's the matter?"
The maid’s voice came from outside the door: "My Lord Viscount, the Queen invites you to give lectures to Prince Harrison and Princess Judy."
Colin was speechless for a while, what class is being taught now!
Vera kissed Colin lightly on the cheek, and said with a smile: "Go ahead, don't let Auntie wait too long."
Colin had no choice but to get up and say, "Well, if I come back late, you can go to bed first."
Vera nodded and began to help Colin change clothes.
After finishing everything, Colin went out and followed the maid all the way to the main hall.
The farther ahead, Colin found that the guards here became tighter.
After about a quarter of an hour, the maid finally stopped, stretched out her hand and gently pushed open the gorgeous golden wooden door, and the maid bowed to Colin.
Colin nodded and walked in.
In the eyes, there are dark red round tables, snow-white cashmere carpets, and exquisite crystal chandeliers, but there is no one.
"His Royal Highness?"
Colin tentatively yelled, and then heard a soft voice: "Viscount Angele, please go inside."
Colin walked a few steps forward, and after passing a corner, he found the door leading to the inside.
Lifting the gauze hanging on the door, Colin walked inside.
With pink curtains, luxurious ivory bed, and exquisite dressing table, Colin immediately realized that this should be the queen's bedroom.
The gentle night breeze blew in, and the curtain on the balcony moved with the wind, revealing a looming slender figure.
Colin hurriedly saluted and greeted: "His Royal Highness!"
Queen Midella turned her head, smiled sweetly at Ke Lin, and said, "I'm looking for you so late, I hope you don't mind."
"Of course not. I don't know where Prince Harrison and Princess Judy are now. Where do you want me to start teaching them?"
"This is not in a hurry, I have more important things to talk to you."
"Please tell me." Colin suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, but since he had been fooled, it was impossible for him to turn around and run away.
"Don't be nervous, sit down."
Colin looked around and found that there were only beds and dressing tables to sit on... Obviously he would not sit in either of these two places, so he stood awkwardly on the spot, pretending not to hear.
Fortunately, Queen Midella didn't mean to be too hard for Colin. When she saw it, she didn't force her to ask, "What do you think of the baptism ceremony this morning?"
With a move in Colin's heart, he immediately thought of the staring gaze that seemed to fall from the sky, and the appearance of Baron Heidegger, the prime minister of the empire, who was hesitant to speak.
"I think it's great." Colin pretended to be stupid. "It is a great honor to have the Pope baptize Vera himself!"
Queen Midella looked at Colin with a smile, as if she wanted to see his true thoughts clearly.
But Colin lowered his head, unmoved by the queen's gaze.
"Hey~" Queen Midella sighed, with a hint of resentment in her voice, "It seems that you still don't trust me."
"Of course I trust Your Highness." Colin said immediately, but there was not much sincerity in the words.
The room fell silent, only the slight noise of the night wind blowing the curtain.
After waiting for a long time without hearing the Queen's voice, Colin couldn't help but raise his head, and then met the other's calm eyes.
The evening breeze blew the thin dress close to her body, drawing a wonderful curve.
Colin immediately retracted his gaze and returned to his original state of observing his nose and nose.
Queen Midella finally spoke again, but this time, her voice became a bit solemn: "Colin, you may not realize the seriousness of the matter."
"His Royal Highness, please forgive my ignorance!" Colin still looks like that, seems to be determined to keep a distance from this beautiful queen.
No joy or anger could be seen on Queen Midella's face. She left the balcony and walked slowly towards Colin, saying: "Remember that we met for the first time in Winter City. It was to attend Wei at that time. Pull the bar mitzvah."
"Yes, Your Highness." Colin became more and more confused about what the queen wanted to do.
"I remember that the coming-of-age ceremony was really wonderful! The troll prince, the half-elf prince, and you, three of them proposed to Vera at the same time, but my brother finally chose the half-elf prince, and you two almost started fighting... "
Listening to Queen Midella recalling the past, Colin remained silent, but he kept guessing the true purpose of the Queen in his heart.
"...Oh, yes, another big event happened at that time—" Queen Midella had already walked up to Colin and exhaled, "Marquis Adams, was poisoned to death!"
Colin lowered his head, watching the pink toenails gleaming with crystal light on the queen's white jade feet, he couldn't help squinting his eyes slightly.
Queen Midella held up Colin's chin behind her, forced his gaze towards herself, and asked with a smile; "Do you know who poisoned it?"
Colin's heart finally made waves, and thoughts kept coming to his mind, but he couldn't catch the most important one.
This puzzle has troubled him for a long time.
His first suspect at the time was actually Marquis Garcia.
Because at that time, the Duke of St. Hilde had just betrayed his brother, and did not keep his promise, let Vera inherit the position of Marquis of the East, but chose his second son Adams.
Colin's first reaction, perhaps also the first reaction of most people at the time, was the death of Adams, the Marquis Garcia was taking revenge on his brother!
But later, Colin felt that with the character of Marquis Garcia, he should not be able to do such insidious things.
When he was in Silvermoon City, when he guessed a series of plans against the half-elves by the Duke of St. Hild, Colin felt that the Duke of St. Hild might have staged a bitter trick and poisoned his second son.
But when Colin learned that the Duke of St. Hild was a paladin, he immediately overturned his guess.
After all, the Duke of Saint Hilde, who has the strength of a Paladin, would not use this method to achieve his goal.
Originally, Colin had already given up, thinking that the death of Marquis Adams might be an unsolved case forever, but now, Queen Midella even mentioned the matter again.
This made Colin couldn't help but come up with an idea...
Queen Midella looked at Colin, whose expression changed, and finally showed a satisfied smile, but she seemed to be more than satisfied with it, and said again:
"And the will left by the Duke of St. Hilde. Guess, why did he make Vera the first heir?"
Colin opened his mouth, but didn't know how to speak.
The smile on Queen Midella's face became brighter and she threw a blockbuster again: "You know, your Majesty tried to veto Vera's inheritance rights twice, but I stopped them all.
Do you know why? "
Colin looked at this charming face close at hand, his heart pounding almost out of his chest.
Thousands of thoughts finally converged into an answer in his mind, but this answer made Colin couldn't help but want to seize the road and flee.
Queen Midella admired the tangled Colin and said with a smile: "Colin, you know, the person in the world who wants to see Vera become the Duke of the North, except you, UU reading , It's me."
At this time, Colin calmed down instead.
He knew that Queen Midella had already had a showdown.
This can only show that the situation is indeed as severe as she said.
She no longer allowed Colin to look close to her, and said trust on the surface, but turned around and began to be jealous.
"His Royal Highness, I understand." Colin said in a deep voice, no longer avoiding Queen Midella's gaze.
"What do you understand?" A hint of surprise flashed in Queen Midella's eyes.
"I understand why I should trust you."
"why?"
Colin gently pushed away Queen Midella's hand, stepped back slightly, and said respectfully:
"Because you are Vera's biological mother!"
