As the wedding day of Prince Tupe and Miss Vera approached, the entire Silvermoon City was filled with festive atmosphere.
Daughter of the Duke of the North!
Even if she is an adopted daughter, she is also the daughter of a nobleman with the highest status ever married to the royal family of Mordiveh.
All the half-elves feel proud of it.
However, some bad noises suddenly mixed into this festive atmosphere.
Some stories about Miss Vera and Viscount Angelet quietly spread in Silvermoon City.
Moreover, these stories have their noses and eyes, and they don't seem to be made up.
As a result, public opinion in Silvermoon City gradually began to turn.
With the help of some caring people, the half-elfs no longer expected Miss Vera to marry into the royal family as they did at first.
He even began to feel that Prince Tupe shouldn't marry a lady with a dirty reputation!
People in this world also attach great importance to women's reputation.
After all, in the absence of paternity testing technology, how to ensure that one's offspring is really one's own blood is very troublesome.
Therefore, for the sake of the purity of blood, the nobles generally require the brides who marry in to be virgins.
This is the easiest way to guarantee, although not necessarily effective.
In fact, many aristocrats have a body check procedure before they get married.
However, this procedure is generally aimed at women who are in a disadvantaged position.
If it was Prince Tupe's marriage to Vera, which was an obviously high-profile marriage, the Murdevyn family would obviously not dare to perform a physical examination on Vera.
Because this procedure is too rude.
When some great nobles found out that their daughters were pregnant out of wedlock, in order not to let the child become an illegitimate child who was spurned by others, they would even deliberately find a low-ranking nobleman to be the successor, and then asked not to undergo a medical examination.
For the half-elf royal family, they absolutely don't want to take over the notoriety of Pan Xia.
But if they really wanted to make Vera a physical examination, they probably wouldn't have the guts.
However, as the rumors gradually fermented and intensified.
The Murdivyn family began to lose control of the situation.
Even many half-elf nobles began to explicitly request Vera to undergo a physical examination.
These half-elf nobles also found a very high-sounding reason—
Requesting a medical examination is not to question Miss Vera's innocence, on the contrary, it is precisely to protect Miss Vera's reputation and completely smash these rumors that are fabricated out of nothing!
…
The half-elf palace, the residence of Colin.
Seeing that Colin was reading the rumors he collected with relish, Duke Miller was speechless.
Colin really enjoyed it.
He found that some of these rumors were true and some were false, and they were made up similarly.
For example, they used to ride a horse together.
For example, Colin once desperately blocked the spear for Vera.
For another example, since the two met in Jinghu, they have been with each other all the way and have a good relationship with each other.
He even said that this time when Vera married into the half-elf kingdom, Colin specifically asked the Duke to appoint him as the messenger to send the beloved woman to a foreign country...
In short, if Ke Lin himself was not the hero, I am afraid that he would really believe in such a poignant love story.
Moreover, these rumors also emphasized that he and Vera had been alone many times. Although they didn't say it explicitly, they kept implying that the two had developed a relationship beyond friendship.
Well, it's true.
Colin touched his chin and suddenly laughed.
Seeing that Colin could still laugh, Duke Miller couldn't help but said:
"Master Viscount, this matter has spread throughout the city, and even many half-elfs have started to organize a parade, demanding to have Miss Vera's body checked to prove her innocence!"
"Then test it." Colin replied casually.
It seemed that there was really nothing between him and Vera.
Duke Miller was obviously taken aback for a moment, then blinked, and asked with some hesitation: "Are you... sure?"
"Of course!" Colin said loudly, "These remarks questioning Miss Vera's innocence are all groundless slanders! You can rest assured to arrange the medical examination procedures. As soon as the results come out, these rumors will naturally be self-defeating."
Colin actually didn't care about these rumors at all.
I even feel that this is really a clumsy strategy.
If the Mordiveh family really dared to examine Vera and found that she was not innocent, then Colin would have to admire the other party's courage.
Because, this is simply slapping the St. Hilde family in the face!
Ke Lin felt that this was probably a scheme thought up by that silly Prince William.
In order to prevent his younger brother from marrying Vera, the methods used by this Prince William are really... indescribable.
However, Colin also thought of another possibility—a conspiracy in the East Territory.
The rumors are very likely to be released by the east side, in order to force the Merdewing family to conduct a physical examination on Vera, thereby offending the St. Hilde family.
In this way, the half-elf kingdom can only turn to the east for help.
Of course, whatever the truth was, Colin didn't care too much.
In fact, he wished that he would fail the medical examination, and then the wedding would be a mess.
As for whether Vera is innocent or not, Colin has personally "tested" it, so why doesn't he know
However, just when Colin was thinking about how to follow the trend and destroy the marriage, he heard Duke Miller speak again:
"Master Viscount, please rest assured, I will arrange a suitable examiner, and I will definitely not let Miss Vera suffer criticism."
After seeing Colin's calm performance, Duke Miller believed that there was nothing between him and Vera.
However, Duke Miller was still worried. After all, who knew if Vera had any secret lovers before Colin.
As it is related to the rise of the Miller family, the Duke of Miller certainly dare not take it lightly.
Colin also heard the meaning implied by the other party from Duke Miller's demeanor and tone, and suddenly smiled secretly in his heart.
This old guy is actually planning to engage in secret operations!
However, this is indeed the best way to deal with rumors.
As long as Vera's physical examination is performed and the results of the physical examination are "controlled", the rumors will naturally be self-defeating.
Then, the candidate for Vera's physical examination is very important.
"Who are you planning to have Miss Vera examine?"
Duke Miller showed a confident smile: "Please rest assured, we already have the most suitable candidate. With her identity and status, she will definitely not humiliate Miss Vera."
"who?"
"Queen Elsa!"
Colin was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood why Duke Miller said she was the best candidate.
Whether Miss Vera is innocent or not is actually not important, as long as Queen Aisha says she is innocent, then she is naturally innocent.
What would Queen Elsa say
Do I need to ask
Who else would like to see Prince Tupe marry Vera more than Queen Elsa
Moreover, there is another advantage to having Queen Aisha come for a physical examination.
That is, there is no need to worry that Prince William will raise objections to the candidate for the medical examination.
If someone else is chosen, Prince William and his family will definitely worry about Duke Miller's secret manipulation, and maybe even a different person for the physical examination.
But for Queen Aisha, then it must be fine.
In terms of status, in terms of status, is there anyone more suitable than Queen Aisha to perform a physical examination on Miss Vera
Duke Miller felt that such a response was sure to be foolproof, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Colin, and ran excitedly to prepare for the medical examination procedure.
Ke Lin looked at the back of the other party going away, and suddenly remembered the beautiful queen in the blood rose bushes,
And the nonsensical things she said at the time.
Shaking his head, Colin put that beautiful figure out of his mind.
The physical examination this time should be just a formality, and Colin is not going to change his plan specially for it.
Now, he was waiting for Knight Rego to lead the Angelet family's army to Silvermoon City.
Counting the time, they are almost here.
And Colin's plan can almost start.
There will be another chapter later
