Chapter 328： True and False (Part 1)

The night is dark.

Colin walked alone on the promenade of Neuschwanstein Castle, passing by a few patrolling guards occasionally.

Seeing Colin, the guards stopped to salute, and Colin nodded absent-mindedly.

Just coming back from the church, Colin was still thinking about the conversation with Prince Leahy in the confession room.

Especially the news that Mr. Hood might still be alive made Colin feel an overwhelming depression.

But immediately, Colin shook his head and laughed, feeling that he was a little too worried.

After all, whether Mr. Wang is still alive has yet to be confirmed. Even if this is true, Prince Leahy will be in front, and Colin doesn't have to worry about facing this terrible opponent.

Thinking of this, Colin's footsteps suddenly became much easier.

The air also seemed to become sweet.

Yep?

It doesn't seem to be, there is really a sweet fragrance in the air.

Colin turned a corner curiously and saw the open-air balcony at the end of the promenade.

On the balcony, a moving figure was standing there alone.

It is Earl Schultz.

The Countess tonight is wearing a simple-style tunic dress without any jewellery on her body, but the dress is very well-cut, which fully outlines her slender and flexible body.

In Colin's opinion, Earl Schultz is a mature and graceful, elegant and charming lady model, dignified but not pretentious, glamorous but not frivolous and arrogant, and always has a very friendly smile on his face.

Even knowing that the loyalty of the Schultz family is questionable, it is difficult for Colin to feel sick to such an outstanding countess.

Hearing Colin's footsteps, Earl Schultz turned his head and said with a sweet smile: "Your Excellency, are you out for a walk?"

"Yes, I can't sleep, I went to church and showed my heart to my lord for a while, and I felt much better."

Colin responded with a smile, then stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Earl Schultz.

Swan Castle is built next to the lake. Looking out from the balcony, you can just see the Swan Lake in the night.

The bright silver moon reflected in the lake, ethereal and beautiful.

"Well, some things are indeed said, it will be better." Count Schultz said pointedly.

Colin nodded copingly, but his gaze crossed the vast lake and found the faint light of fire on the opposite bank-that should be the place where Vera and the others camped.

Earl Schultz followed Colin's gaze and seemed to understand something, so he spoke again: "The Lord Duke is unwilling to enter Swan City. Is he expressing his dissatisfaction with the Schultz family?"

Colin smiled faintly and said, "My Lord Earl, do you think the Duke of St. Hilde can still trust the Schultz family now?"

"Yes. What the Schultz family did before is really chilling. However, I only aimed at the last Duke of St. Hild. To this Duke of St. Hild, I am willing to offer unlimited loyalty. !"

Colin turned his head and looked at the solemn Earl Schultz with a scrutiny gaze.

Earl Schultz met Colin's gaze without flinching, the sincerity in his eyes did not seem to be false.

But of course Colin would not be impressed by a few fluttering words, and he has already seen many politicians with outstanding acting skills, who knows whether this Earl Schultz is one of the best.

"I will relay your words to the Duke of St. Hild." Colin said lightly.

Earl Schultz saw Colin's perfunctory meaning and said again: "You don't believe me."

"It's just hard for me to trust someone who once betrayed the lord."

A trace of sadness flashed in the eyes of Earl Schultz, who seemed to be hurt by Colin's words, and he spoke again after a long while: "Then you know, in Ice Rock City, why I betrayed the last Duke of St. Hild?"

Colin was the witness of that lord's rebellion, and of course he knew the situation at that time.

But looking at the appearance of Earl Schultz, it seems that this man's motive is still hidden.

"Could it be because of the fiasco of Marquis Charles on the front line?"

"Not exactly." Count Schultz shook his head slowly, "also because of Marquis Garcia!"

Colin's expression moved, but he was not too surprised. After all, Marquis Garcia had deliberately expressed dissatisfaction with his brother at that time, just to provoke the lords to rebel.

But the next words of Earl Schultz startled Colin: "Marquis Garcia is my lover."

"En?" Colin looked at the beautiful countess beside him, and a raging gossip ignited in his heart.

"At the beginning I thought Garcia finally had the guts to resist his brother, so I joined the lord's rebel army, but I didn't expect...hehe, I still overestimated his guts!"

Colin looked at Earl Schultz, who was gritted his teeth, and didn't know what to say for a while.

But in his opinion, I am afraid that the Countess is a little bit passionate, and Marquis Garcia is obviously more willing to cooperate with his brother to carry out a wave of cleaning of the northern lords in order to consolidate the rule of the St. Hild family.

At that time, even Colin was taken by the Marquis of Garcia to hunt outside the city, which avoided the whirlpool of the rebellion, but the Marquis of Garcia did not notify the Earl of Schultz. It can be seen that the Earl of Schultz was in the Marquis of Garcia. It may not be so important in the mind.

Earl Schultz seemed to see through Colin's mind and immediately asked: "Do you think I overestimate my status in the heart of Marquis Garcia?"

Colin touched his nose and said helplessly: "That's not true. I think the purge of the lord of the rebellion by the Duke of St. Hilde did not affect you later, maybe it was the Marquis of Garcia who interceded for you."

Count Schultz put a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth, and said: "Actually, it is not wrong for you to think that way. I am afraid I really overestimated my status in the heart of Marquis Garcia.

Twenty years ago, I even thought stupidly that he would marry me, but I did not expect that the Duke of St. Hilde only asked him to give up the command of the Black Cavalry to marry me, and he hesitated.

What are you telling me, wait until he breaks the Troll King City, and then put down the black cavalry to marry me, hehe, fortunately I didn't wait for him, otherwise I don't know how many years will be wasted..."

Colin looked a little surprised. He didn't expect that the Marquis of Garcia and the Earl of Schultz had actually reached the point of talking about marriage, but they were only stopped by the Duke of St. Hilde.

Of course, Colin can understand the conditions of the Duke of St. Hilde. After all, Marquis Garcia holds the first strong army in the North. If he gets the help of the Schultz family, then his influence in the North is too great.

At that time, the Duke of St. Hilde should not have been promoted to the sanctuary, and it was natural to be afraid of this.

"...Perhaps in the hearts of people like Marquis Garcia, meritorious deeds must always be placed before the love of their children." Count Schultz was still emotional.

Colin remained silent, and he was not good to comment on this.

However, he suddenly felt that his old husband might still hide a lot of secrets.

"Those are all over, and I have already let go." Earl Schultz brushed a strand of hair behind his ears, and said, "But there are some things that I have to care about."

Colin turned his head in doubt, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I gave birth to a daughter for him."

"What?" Colin suspected that he had heard the wrong ear.

Earl Schultz looked indifferent and nodded: "Yes, Vera is the daughter of Marquis Garcia and I, and was later adopted by the last Duke of St. Hild. So you should understand now why I said Shure just now. The Clan will not betray the Duke of St. Hild of this generation, will it?"

Colin stared at Count Schultz dumbfounded, and a huge wave rose in his heart.

what happened?

Wasn't Vera's biological mother Queen Midella?

Immediately Colin immediately realized -

I'm afraid I was fooled by the queen!

What exchange handles! What will definitely support Vera!

It's all the queen's tricks!

She successfully won Colin's trust with this little trick, and forced him to surrender her handle in the name of exchange!

Colin was a little fortunate at this time. Fortunately, he hadn't handed over the real deadly handle.

Otherwise, he might only be able to let Queen Midella decide in the future!

At this moment, Prince Leahy’s advice came into his mind.

"Beware of the queen, that is a dangerous woman."
