"Yes, Your Majesty."
Emperor Reinhard's scrutiny made Colin a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the other party quickly smiled and said, "You are indeed a young talent! The leader of the northern knights!"
"Your Majesty, you are overrated." Colin said modestly, while constantly guessing the emperor's intentions.
With the previous "gift" from Knight Fermi, Colin is now extremely wary of the emperor, for fear that the other party will impose harsh conditions.
"Slay the troll emperor, annihilate an army of 100,000 trolls, and quell the rebellion in the northern border, Viscount Angelet, you deserve such praise!" Emperor Reinhard said seriously, "With your achievements Well, a Earl is more than enough, but since you are a vassal of the St. Hilde family, I will not overdo it on your behalf.
But in other ways, I still want to reward you. "
Colin really wants to say that he doesn't need your reward, but he knows that he probably has no room to refuse.
Just when he was feeling uneasy, he heard Emperor Reinhardt say, "I want to ask you to be Harrison's teacher."
"Huh?" Colin was slightly startled, apparently he didn't expect Emperor Reinhardt to let him be Prince Harrison's teacher.
But soon, he realized the sinister aspect of this request.
Becoming the prince's teacher, doesn't that mean that Ke Lin must stay in Yulong City.
In this way, he cut off his influence on Vera. Maybe in the last three to five years, the northern border will be completely controlled by the San Lorenzo family, and Saint Hilde may only have a nominal northern border left. Lord.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Ke Lin said with a look of embarrassment: "Your Majesty, I am really flattered by your recognition, but I am worried that I am not capable enough to teach His Royal Highness well and let you down.
What's more, I still have a viscount territory in the north that needs to be managed, so I can't stay in Yulong City for a long time. "
Emperor Reinhard waved his hand and said with a smile: "I think you are capable enough to teach Harrison well, so you don't have to be humble. As for the location, you don't have to worry, Harrison will go back to the north with you. "
kindness
Ke Lin was shocked, and immediately realized that he might have misunderstood Emperor Reinhard just now.
If he was willing to let Prince Harrison go to the northern border instead of forcing himself to stay in Yulong City, then this proposal would indeed be an excellent reward and a great honor for Colin.
Harrison is the only son of Emperor Reinhardt!
If one day he inherits the throne, wouldn't Ke Lin become the emperor's teacher
Colin's mood seemed to be on a roller coaster.
He suddenly realized that the emperor was probably wooing the northern border!
Fermi Knight is probably not as Colin thought before, it is a pawn inserted by the royal family in the northern border. The commander-in-chief of a military force can have a good impression of the royal family.
The emperor was well aware of Colin's influence on Vera, and even more aware of the military power in Colin's own hands. It can be said that although Vera will be the Duke of the North in name, it is Colin who actually controls the North.
Now he asked Prince Harrison to worship Ke Lin as his teacher, which is even more blatantly wooing.
So, why is the emperor in such a hurry to win over the northern border
Colin recalled the scenes in the Holy Light Cathedral just now, and suddenly had some guesses...
Seeing that Colin remained silent, Emperor Reinhard frowned and asked, "What? Are you still unwilling?"
Ke Lin hurriedly said: "No, Your Majesty. If you insist that I am qualified enough to teach His Royal Highness, then I will do my best to live up to your expectations."
Only then did Emperor Reinhard show a satisfied smile, and said to Prince Harrison, "Harrison, come quickly to see the teacher."
Prince Harrison was a little hesitant. From his eyes, it could be seen that he was still a little scared of Colin. Maybe it was because Colin left a deep impression on him in Silvermoon City.
But his father had an order, and Harrison didn't dare to refuse, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and come to Colin, bowed and saluted, "Teacher."
Colin quickly stood up and returned the salute.
At this time, a crisp voice suddenly sounded: "Father, I also want Viscount Angelet to be my teacher!"
Ke Lin was slightly startled, and saw Princess Judy twisting her small body, pouting and coquettishly saying.
Queen Midella straightened her face and scolded, "Judy, don't mess around!"
"I'm not messing around!" Princess Judy said softly, "Why can Harrison have a teacher, but I can't?"
Queen Midella could only comfort her in a gentle voice: "I will choose another teacher for you."
"No! I want Viscount Angelet to be my teacher, and I want to go to the north!"
Colin had a headache and could only look down at the ground in embarrassment.
Queen Midella raised her eyebrows, and was about to reprimand, but was stopped by Emperor Reinhardt, who only heard him ask with a smile: "Judy, what do you want to learn from Viscount Angelet?"
Princess Judy rolled her round eyes and said, "Dance!"
Colin was speechless for a while, and couldn't help but think of how cute Princess Judy kept stepping on his feet at the welcome dance that day.
"Hahahaha!" Emperor Reinhard suddenly laughed loudly, as if he had heard something extremely interesting, and after a while, he heard him say in a doting tone, "Okay, then you and Harrison will become Ange Viscount Lie's student is all right."
"Great!" Princess Judy jumped up from the stool excitedly.
Ke Lin had a headache for a while, and wanted to reject this charming princess student, but before he could speak, Princess Judy had already come to him, lifted her skirt, bowed her knees, pretended to be obedient and said:
"teacher!"
Ke Lin had no choice but to return the salute. At the same time, he secretly glanced forward from the corner of his eye, and saw the emperor smiling, while Queen Midella frowned, as if she was very unhappy about the matter.
Seeing such a scene, Colin, who was not quite willing at first, immediately put on a gentle smile, and said, "I don't know how to teach dance, I only teach some knowledge about fighting and killing. If Her Royal Highness is still willing to learn from me if… "
"Yes, yes!" Judy nodded hurriedly.
Colin nodded, turned to face Emperor Reinhardt, bowed and said, "Thank you for your trust, then I will accept these two students."
Queen Midella looked at her daughter seriously, and asked, "Judy, are you going to the north with Viscount Angelet?"
Judy, who was winking with her brother, nodded and said, "That's right! I haven't been to the northern border yet! I'm going to see the direwolves!"
"Then you won't see me for a long time?"
"Uh—" The little girl seemed to be hesitant, but soon became firm, "I will go to the north to study with the teacher for a while, and then I will come back to accompany my mother!"
Emperor Reinhard waved his hand and said: "Okay. The young eagle will always fly to the sky alone, and our daughter can't stay in Yulong City all the time. There is nothing wrong with going out to have a look."
"Thank you father!" Princess Judy smiled sweetly.
Ke Lin looked at Empress Midella's deflated appearance, laughed secretly in his heart, and couldn't help guessing—why did the emperor let the princess go to the northern border, and why was the empress not happy
Of course, he still knows too little about the couple who are in charge of the empire, so he can't guess anything for the time being.
Afterwards, the few chatted for a while, talking about the past of the St. Hilde family and the San Lorenzo family. The atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Not long after, the carriage got off the holy mountain and returned to Phoenix Palace.
After Colin and Vera bid farewell and left, Queen Midella said to Prince Harrison and Princess Judy: "You two have been arguing about riding a horse, go outside and find Knight Erich."
"Okay!" The two children cheered excitedly and ran out of the carriage.
When only the queen and the emperor were left in the carriage, Midella asked with a sullen face, "Why did you agree to send Judy to the northern border just now?"
Emperor Reinhard responded lightly: "Why not? Besides, this is what she asked for."
Queen Midella smiled coldly: "You are not afraid that if something happens to the two of them in the northern border, then you will be the last!"
Not only was Emperor Reinhard not irritated by the queen's rude remarks, he laughed out loud, stretched out his hand to pick up Midella's clean chin, and said:
"So what? Anyway, we are still young, just a few more."
Snapped!
Queen Midella slapped the emperor's hand away, and said with a sneer, "I really regret not poisoning you to death!"
Emperor Reinhard pursed his lips and smiled, and said calmly:
"It's okay, we get along day and night, you can always find another chance."
