Accompanied by the melodious melody, Colin danced on the carpet with gorgeous textures, with his arms around Queen Midella's slender and flexible waist.
In the frame of the court dance, the men and women dancing together seem to be hugging each other, but in fact that is just an illusion created by the perspective. Except for the arms, the two have no other body parts in contact.
Only between lovers or husband and wife, will the abdomen be intimately fitted together.
Of course Ke Lin would not be rude to Queen Midella, but unexpectedly, the Queen took the initiative to post it.
Feeling the softness and warmth of his lower abdomen, Ke Lin kept calm all the time.
"Judy has learned to dance since she was a child, but she has a bad habit of stepping on her feet. I don't mean to target you. I hope you don't take it to heart." Queen Midella whispered in her ear.
The languid tone and moist breath kept stirring Ke Lin's heart.
"It's an honor to be stepped on by a beautiful lady." Colin responded with a smile.
At the same time, he also remembered that at the ball in Silvermoon City, Queen Midella also stepped on him.
Well, it seems that like a mother, like a daughter.
I don't know if she also thought of this matter, a blush appeared on Queen Midella's pretty face.
Ke Lin led Queen Midella to a quick turn, the purple dress bloomed like flowers, and the seductive scenery under the skirt disappeared in a flash.
"I heard that His Majesty is sick?"
Colin spoke suddenly, awakening Queen Midella who was intoxicated by the melodious dance music.
The Queen's eyes fluttered, she glanced at Colin, and said with a coquettish smile, "Where did you hear the news?"
Colin didn't speak, he wouldn't expose a little girl.
But judging by Queen Midella's performance, this news should be true.
No wonder Emperor Reinhard never showed up.
Seeing that Ke Lin did not want to reveal the source of the information, Queen Midella did not pursue the question, but nodded and said: "Yes, His Majesty is indeed ill, but you don't have to worry, you should be fine soon.
In addition, I hope you will not spread this news, as it may cause unnecessary panic after all. "
"I understand." Colin nodded, and then asked again, "Then what does Your Majesty think about the successor of the Duke of the North?"
Queen Midella's expression became solemn, and she said softly:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty and I both want to see Vera inherit the title of Duke of the North, not to mention you still have the will of the previous Duke of the North in your hands, so relax and wait for a while, when the time comes, I will naturally I will arrange for you to have an audience with His Majesty."
Queen Midella's words of relief not only did not reassure Colin, but made him more aware that something was wrong with the current situation in the imperial capital.
Moreover, he also noticed that what the queen said was "when the time comes" rather than "when your majesty recovers from illness", which made Colin couldn't help thinking, could it be that the emperor's majesty is not seriously ill and cannot see guests now, but just The timing is wrong and you don't want to meet Vera
"Your Highness, of course I am willing to follow your arrangement." Although he was full of doubts, Ke Lin would definitely not question the Queen's decision on the surface.
After all, it is not in Winter City, but in Yulong City. The St. Hilde family can rely on not much power here. Vera's aunt, Queen Midella, must be the most important person.
Of course, Colin will not completely trust this beautiful queen.
She was Vera's aunt all right, but she was also Joyce's aunt.
Colin had no way of knowing which side her heart was for.
Seeing that Ke Lin was so obedient, the smile on Queen Midella's face became brighter, and she spoke again:
"By the way, there is one more thing you should pay attention to."
"Please tell me."
"Don't trust Sebas St. Hilde!"
"Huh?" Colin's heart skipped a beat, and he almost jumped to the wrong beat. Fortunately, he adjusted in time.
Sebastian Hilde is Vera's uncle and the consul of the Imperial Senate.
There are five consuls in the Imperial Senate, which are held by elders from the five paladin families.
The five consuls will take turns serving as the chairman of the Senate every month, responsible for presiding over the meetings of the Senate that month.
Therefore, this Lord Sebastian is also an important figure of the St. Hilde family in Yulong City.
Originally, Colin and Vera planned to visit this person tomorrow, but unexpectedly, Queen Midella would remind themselves not to trust him.
How is this going
In terms of seniority, Sebastian is Midella's uncle.
Is this a family feud
Ke Lin was speechless for a while, and quickly asked: "Your Highness, why is this?"
Queen Midella remained silent.
Seeing this, Colin couldn't continue to question him.
At the end of the song, Ke Lin let go of Queen Midella's jade hands and waist, and bent over to salute.
Queen Midella bowed her knees and returned the salute with a smile, and said softly: "Believe me, the current Dragon City is a dangerous vortex. The best choice for you and Vera is to stay out of it and get involved rashly. It will only be difficult to get out."
Ke Lin narrowed his eyes and said in a concentrated voice: "His Royal Highness..."
Queen Midella interrupted directly: "Don't ask too much, don't think too much, just wait patiently for my news."
After saying these words, Queen Midella swung her willow waist lightly and floated away.
Ke Lin was left in a daze in a daze.
"Colin, what's the matter with you?" Vera came over, took her husband's arm, and asked suspiciously.
"I'll tell you when I get back." Colin patted Vera's little hand, but saw a familiar figure walking towards him.
"I didn't expect to meet again so soon, Viscount Angelet!" Earl Evan walked over to Colin with a smile, and then saluted Vera, and introduced his female companion to Colin and his wife:
"This is Miss Shalia, Prince Lexi's first daughter and my fiancée."
Colin frowned, and turned to look at Earl Evan's female companion.
This Miss Shalia was wearing a long beige dress, with exquisite facial features, black hair and black eyes, gentle temperament, charming and charming, she was the kind of woman who could especially arouse pity from men.
But what Ke Lin really cares about is the other party's identity—the daughter of a paladin!
Moreover, Colin remembered that the Marquis of the Eastern Region he had just released, who was the elder brother of Earl Avan, only married the daughter of a certain Earl of the Eastern Region.
It seems that the Duke of St. Pros really has the idea of changing his heir.
Thinking of what he had said to Marquis Vincent on the Nushui River, Colin suddenly felt that the East Territory would definitely be very lively in the future.
Just when Colin was thinking about it, Earl Evan sent an invitation to Vera: "Beautiful Miss Vera, I wonder if I have the honor to dance with you?"
Vera turned to look at Colin, saw him nodding with a smile, and handed Earl Evan his hand.
Seeing the two walking towards the dance floor hand in hand, Shalia blinked her big crystal eyes and seemed to say to Colin—what are you waiting for
Colin also realized what he should do, and quickly sent an invitation to Shalia.
After obtaining the consent of the other party, Colin took the slender hand of the daughter of the paladin and walked into the center of the dance floor again.
"Are you and Earl Evan just engaged?" Colin asked curiously with his arms around Saria's waist.
"Yes, just a week ago." Shalia said softly, and then she stopped talking, but concentrated on dancing.
Generally speaking, the man in the court dance is the leader, and the woman is the follower, but Colin found that this Shalia seemed to have a strange magic power, which could in turn affect Colin's dance steps, and even guide the court dancers to follow. The graceful and elegant dance is performed to the extreme, which is pleasing to the eye.
Even someone like Ke Lin who is not proficient in court dance seems to have become a dance master at this moment.
This feeling made Colin intoxicated, and for a moment he forgot to continue to inquire whether Earl Avan came to Yulong City at this time for other purposes.
Until the end of the song, Colin still had something to say.
Thunderous applause sounded immediately, and Colin came back to his senses.
"You are the best dancer I have ever seen!" Colin praised sincerely.
"Thank you!" Shalia blushed pretty, as if she hadn't recovered from the dance just now.
"Wow! Viscount Angelet! I'm a little jealous of you. Sharia didn't show such a tacit understanding when dancing with me!" Earl Evan brought Vera back to the sidelines and exaggeratedly shouted.
Vera also praised Colin excitedly, and at the same time did not forget to ask Shalia for the secret of dancing.
Colin casually said a few words of modesty, and then asked Earl Evan: "Has your wedding date with Miss Shalia been fixed?"
"At the end of this year, I will distribute invitations. I hope you and Ms. Vera can visit us."
"Okay. If there are no special circumstances, we will definitely go to Bailu City to watch the ceremony." Ke Lin replied with a smile.
After that, neither Colin nor Vera entered the dance floor again, but chatted casually with Earl and his wife Evan on the sidelines.
It wasn't until the night was getting dark that the guests left one after another.
