Chapter 451： Secrets (Part 1)

How to build trust?

Different people have different solutions to this problem.

Queen Midella's method is to exchange secrets with each other as a handle for each other.

Since Grace can become an ally of Queen Midella, it means that this seemingly innocent girl actually has a deadly handle in the hands of the Queen.

With a handle, there will be a means to restrict each other, so that they will not betray each other.

Of course, the premise is that the handle must be real.

Colin was scheming last time, but then he discovered that Queen Midella was also dishonest.

Hey, they are all old silver coins.

exchanged loneliness.

But, what Grace said...

Colin felt that this young girl might not be able to fool Queen Midella like he did.

That's why he asked the question just now.

Grace glanced at Colin, but hesitated and said nothing.

Ke Lin picked up the teacup and drank the scented tea, saying:

"Originally, Earl Evan ran away, and you lost the opportunity to win the trust of me. But now, there is a new opportunity in front of you, why are you hesitating?"

Grace filled Colin with another cup of tea, and tentatively said: "Earl, when I was in an alliance with the Queen, His Royal Highness exchanged his secrets with me. I don’t know you..."

Colin smiled lightly and said: "Of course. I will give you the handle that I gave to Queen Midella and tell you."

Grace obviously didn't expect Colin to speak so well, so she immediately refreshed and nodded again and again.

"My handle is-Charles St. Hild was killed by me!"

Colin handed over his "handle" without flushing and heartbeat.

Grace could not conceal her inner shock. She refused to kill Count Evan before because she was afraid of being contaminated with the blood of the paladin family, but she did not expect that the person in front of her...

Besides, Charles is still his wife's brother!

Grace wants to ask Colin, don’t you feel guilty about facing your wife at night?

But from beginning to end, Grace hadn't thought about whether Colin would lie to herself.

In her opinion, since Colin can use this secret to win the trust of Queen Midella, of course it is true.

Looking at Grace whose eyes widened, Colin raised his hand and made an inviting gesture, saying, "It's your turn."

Grace took a few deep breaths, calmed her heart, and then asked:

"Lord Earl, do you know why I did not feel too sad after learning that you killed Earl Brugen?"

Colin's heart moved.

Indeed, Grace's performance is a bit strange.

Originally, Colin thought that the other party was pretending to be strong, trying to find a chance to assassinate and retaliate.

But Colin has given her the perfect opportunity to assassinate so many times, but Grace has done nothing.

If she is Viscount Green, that dare not dare, but to be so calm after learning the news of her father's death, Grace is obviously courageous enough.

And, from the time of getting along, Colin feels that Grace is more like trying to gain Colin's trust rather than avenging her father.

If it weren't for the fear of contaminating the blood of members of the Paladin family, it is estimated that Grace would be willing to kill her fiancé to pay for the certificate.

This is not what a girl should look like when facing her father's enemy.

"Why? Earl Brugen is not good to you?" Colin thought to himself, it wouldn't be a ghost. The father’s dog-blood story, right?

Grace shook her head, and said, "No, my father is very kind to me, he loves me, and treats me like myself."

"Take it as your own?" Colin just wanted to say whether you know how to use words, but he immediately reacted, "Isn't Earl Brugen your biological father?"

Grace nodded, confirming Colin's guess.

Colin quickly asked, "Who is your biological father? And how does the queen know this secret?"

Grace showed the color of memories, and then narrated:

"Five years ago, I followed my father to Dragon City to participate in the birthday celebration of His Majesty. It was also the first time I met Queen Midella.

As soon as we met, Her Royal Highness unabashedly showed her love for me and offered to teach me court manners herself.

Lord Earl, you should also know that this is actually a hint to let me marry into the royal family.

My father was very surprised. Although I knew that it was impossible to marry Prince Harrison in my capacity, even being able to marry a collateral member of the San Lorenzo family would be a great deal to the Brugen family. Of glory.

Therefore, my father sent me to the queen that night and asked me to be taught.

But when the father left, the queen suddenly said to me-you are not the biological daughter of Earl Brugen!

At that time, I was so frightened that I didn't dare to refute the queen, but I didn't believe her.

But the queen asked me to go back and ask my mother, saying that I would get answers from her.

After 　　 came back, I immediately found my mother and told her what the queen had said, hoping to get a negative answer from her.

It's a pity that my mother's face changed drastically after hearing this, and then she had to confess in her own words that the queen was right. I was indeed not the daughter of Earl Brugen..."

"Then whose daughter are you?" Colin couldn't help asking.

Grace shook her head, her eyes filled with confusion: "I don't know. I asked my mother, but my mother refused to say. I also asked the queen, but she didn't want to tell me.

just to reassure me, she will not tell anyone this secret, and in order to calm my heart, she also shared a secret of her own.

Since then, I have become more and more intimate with Queen Midella. She not only taught me the court etiquette, but also told a lot of things, including the battles between the royal family and the church. She even confessed that I was one of her people who had planted in the interior of the East. A chess piece will have a big effect in the future.

I stayed in the Phoenix Palace for a whole year before I returned to the East.

Before leaving, Queen Midella also confessed to me that someone will contact me in the future...So, when you show up in Tinder City, I thought this person was you. "

"The queen never told me about your existence." Colin shook his head, and then he thought of the Emperor Reinhardt who liked to cuckold his vassals. He couldn't help but guess, "Will you be your majesty? Bastard daughter?"

But as soon as he finished speaking, Colin immediately denied his guess: "No, it shouldn't be. The great Reinhardt's cuckold on the people below is just an honest act."

Grace also nodded in agreement.

Indeed, UU reading If she is really the emperor’s illegitimate daughter, she should be kept in captivity in the imperial capital at this time, and Earl Bruggen would not be ignorant of it, and she was stupidly raising her as a biological daughter for so long.

"What about your mother?" Colin asked again.

"Mother has passed away." Grace looked sad.

Okay, another clue is broken.

"Then which family does your mother belong to?"

"Saint Landers."

"The Lord of the South?" Colin was a little surprised.

"Yes. But my mother is from the St. Landes family."

Ke Lin was silent, he didn't know much about the southern border, and he couldn't infer anything from this alone.

Shaking his head, Colin decided not to go around in this dead end, and instead asked: "By the way, what was the secret that Queen Midella exchanged with you?"

When asked this question, Colin didn't care too much, because he estimated that Grace got a lie similar to-I am Vera's biological mother.

But unexpectedly, Grace's answer surprised Colin.

"His Royal Highness told me that Prince Harrison and Princess Judy are not heirs of Emperor Reinhardt."
