Half-elf palace, crystal greenhouse.
This crystal greenhouse was specially ordered to be built by Queen Aisha after she ascended the throne. Although the area is not large, it is built with natural crystals.
The soft sunlight permeates the entire greenhouse through the crystal dome. A copper pipe surrounds the crystal wall. From time to time, warm water vapor is ejected from the small holes distributed on the surface of the copper pipe, making the entire crystal greenhouse warm like spring. .
Under such an environment, even in the winter when the wind is howling, the flower room is full of beautiful blood roses.
However, Colin's gaze was firmly fixed on Queen Aisha.
Today's half-elf queen is wearing a snow-white tunic dress, highlighting her slender waist and straight shoulders.
Holding a freshly cut blood rose in her slender white hand, she slowly inserted it into the flower basket.
Afterwards, she held up the flower basket and looked at it for a while, a pure and beautiful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Such a smile is completely different from the queen's charming and charming image in the past, which made Colin feel dazed for a while.
"Does it look good?" Queen Aisha suddenly turned her head and smiled brightly at Colin.
Only then did Ke Lin come back to his senses, and nodded again and again: "It looks good!"
I don't know whether to praise the flowers or the beauty.
Queen Aisha smiled smugly, then placed the flower basket on the small round table in the center of the flower room, and sat down on the rattan chair: "Aren't you worried about what Queen Midella said to me? "
Colin also sat down on another rattan chair opposite Queen Aisha, shook his head and said with a smile: "There is nothing to worry about, it's just a bad provocation."
"Is it really not clever?" Queen Aisha smiled slyly, "Master Viscount, it seems that you don't know much about women, especially pregnant women."
Only then did Ke Lin put away the frivolity on his face, thought about it carefully, and couldn't help nodding his head: "There is indeed some truth, so, are you really touched by the Queen's words?"
Queen Elsa did not answer, but asked instead: "If you knew I was pregnant in advance, would you still propose the assassination plan?"
"No." Colin said firmly.
Queen Aisha smiled, as if the man's answer satisfied her, but then she changed the subject and said, "But I will!"
"Huh?" Colin raised his eyebrows and looked at Queen Elsa suspiciously.
Queen Aisha's face was calm, and her tone was as firm as iron: "I will choose to continue to carry out that assassination plan, even if I may lose this child."
Colin's complexion changed slightly: "Aisha, you..."
"If one of my children's life can be exchanged for the awakening of the half-elf clan, I won't hesitate at all."
Colin narrowed his eyes, staring at the half-elf queen opposite him.
Queen Elsa also stared into Colin's eyes without flinching, showing her truest side frankly.
After a long time, Ke Lin sighed, and said with a smile: "It seems that Queen Midella's strategy is really not wise, because she doesn't know what kind of person you are."
"Then, what kind of person am I?"
Just as Colin was about to answer, he felt something rubbing against his calf under the round table.
As soon as he looked up, he saw Queen Aisha with a smile on her lips, looking at him charmingly.
Ke Lin couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat, and quickly stretched out his hand to catch the naughty little feet of the other party teasing him.
The delicate and smooth touch made Colin couldn't help holding Queen Elsa's slender and charming jade feet in the palm of his hand and kneading them gently.
Two red clouds appeared on Queen Elsa's fair cheeks, and her watery eyes cast a coquettish glance at Colin.
It seems to be complaining about his presumptuousness, but also seems to encourage his boldness.
Just when Ke Lin was about to lift the obstructive round table in front of him, and further explore this seductive and mysterious flower path, a maid's announcement suddenly came from outside the crystal greenhouse:
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Harrison and Miss Vera are seeking an audience."
Colin felt depressed for a while.
If it was someone else, he would definitely let Queen Aisha send them away directly, but these two are really hard to dismiss.
Queen Aisha looked at the deflated Colin, and suddenly she covered her mouth and smiled coquettishly, and comforted: "I will prepare honey chrysanthemum tea tonight. Would you like to taste it, Lord Viscount?"
Of course Ke Lin would not refuse: "Okay! I must taste the tea made by His Majesty himself. What is it like?"
Queen Aisha giggled, retracted her slender feet from Colin's clutches, and said loudly to the maids outside: "Please come in."
Soon, Prince Harrison and Vera walked in.
Today's Vera is wearing a white dress that slightly sweeps the floor, and a white roll-brimmed hat, looking dignified and elegant, like a blooming magnolia flower.
As soon as the girl entered the door, she smiled sweetly at Colin. If there were no other people in the conservatory, she might not be able to help but throw herself into Colin's arms.
After exchanging pleasantries, Vera looked at those delicate and beautiful blood roses, and couldn't help admiring: "Your Majesty, the blood roses you cultivate are getting more and more beautiful."
Queen Aisha smiled gently: "Miss Vera, you are very impressed. If you want to learn, I will be happy to teach you."
Vera was a little moved, but also a little hesitant.
Queen Aisha seemed to see through Vera's entanglement, and comforted: "Don't worry, these flowers are cultivated with animal blood."
Vera was relieved when she heard that there was no need for human blood, or even a human head, and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll trouble you then!"
Of course, Prince Harrison had no interest in flower planting techniques, so he leaned over to Colin and asked in an admiring tone:
"Your Excellency, Viscount Angelet, can you tell me how you used 8,000 black cavalry to defeat the 100,000 Eastern Army?"
Ke Lin lowered his head and looked at the great prince of the Glorious Empire, but a trace of boredom rose in his heart.
After all, Queen Midella was trying to sow discord between him and Queen Aisha, so Colin naturally hated the house, and Prince Harrison was not pleasing to the eye.
He has long regarded the half-elf kingdom as his own, how could he allow others to try to intervene
Not even the imperial family.
Of course, he didn't show this disgust. He still had a kind smile on his face, and said perfunctorily, "Your Highness, it was mainly the half-elven army that defeated the army in the eastern border, not the black cavalry army."
"That's also very powerful! Can you teach me how to command cavalry to fight?"
The innocent smile on Prince Harrison's face looked a bit fake in Colin's eyes.
Colin rolled his eyes, and suddenly he had a good way to add trouble to the San Lorenzo family.
"Commanding cavalry to fight is just a small way. Your Highness, as the prince of the empire, you should learn more powerful things."
Prince Harrison's eyes lit up, and he immediately became interested: "What's more powerful?"
"You'll know when you come with me."
After finishing speaking, Colin took Prince Harrison to bid farewell to Queen Elsa and Vera, and then left the crystal greenhouse.
