"What? You don't believe it?"
Count Schulz looked at the shocked Colin, thinking that he didn't believe him.
Ke Lin let out a long breath, shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that the news is a bit...too shocking."
"What? The Marquis Garcia gave you the two most cherished things - Vera and the Black Cavalry. Has he never mentioned me to you?"
Colin smiled wryly and shook his head: "No. Marquis Garcia has never let me ask more about Vera's biological mother."
"He feels guilty and dare not mention me?"
"Uh... maybe."
In fact, Colin is more willing to believe Earl Schultz, because if Earl Schultz is not Vera's biological mother, it is impossible for him to know the secret that Marquis Garcia is Vera's biological father.
After all, it is impossible for Marquis Garcia to tell this secret to an irrelevant Earl Schulz, but he may tell his own sister.
Moreover, Queen Midella was sure that Colin would not dare to ask Marquis Garcia directly, because if Colin believed her, he would think that Vera was the product of sibling incest, so he would not dare to ask Marquis Garcia face to face.
He could only bury this secret quietly in his heart, thinking that he had grasped the queen's handle, and believed in her from then on.
Colin is now more and more convinced that Empress Midella was deceiving herself back then, in order to deceive Colin and control him.
call-
This woman is too scheming.
However, it would be different if Count Schulz was Vera's biological mother.
Although it is a bit difficult to say, it is not as serious as incest after all. It is just an ordinary illegitimate daughter issue. Colin dared to ask Marquis Garcia for verification.
Since Earl Schulz had revealed this secret, he should not be afraid to confront Marquis Garcia.
"You should believe now that I won't have any malice towards Vera, right?"
"certainly."
"Then can I trouble you to invite Vera into the city?" Earl Schultz said sincerely, "It's been so many years, I want to see my daughter!"
Colin hesitated for a moment, and asked, "My lord, do you want to disclose your relationship with Vera?"
Earl Schultz asked carefully: "Is it possible?"
"Uh... If Vera has no objections, of course it's okay."
Although this would bring Vera a bad reputation as an illegitimate daughter, it didn't affect her too much.
After all, everyone actually knew that Vera was an illegitimate daughter, but they didn't know the identities of her biological parents.
What's more, after being adopted by the Duke of St. Hilde, she already has the official right of inheritance, and even if it is revealed that Earl Schulz is her biological mother, it will not be a big problem.
"That's great!" exclaimed Count Schulz excitedly.
Afterwards, a blush appeared on her fair face, and she said in a slightly shy tone:
"Don't worry, I will try to help Vera clear her illegitimate daughter's reputation."
"What's the meaning?"
"I am going to marry Marquis Garcia!"
"..." Colin opened his mouth wide again, and was once again surprised by Earl Schultz.
"My lord... I want to remind you that you are already married..."
Earl Schultz nodded, indicating that he was not stupid, and then said with a face of course: "I can get a divorce."
Seeing that Colin still had that shocked expression, Earl Schultz said again:
"Back then, the Marquis Garcia refused to marry me because he couldn't let go of the Black Cavalry. But now, the Black Cavalry has become your blood cavalry. I want to see if he still forgets his promise back then. !
As for my husband, you don't have to worry about that. I have given birth to a son for Lucien. As long as the Marquis of Garcia is willing to marry me, I can immediately pass the title of earl to Sorin. I believe Lucien will not object.
At the beginning, he married me for the sake of the Schultz family's property. Now I'm in the hands of his own son, and it's too late for him to be happy. "
Colin blinked and looked at Earl Schulz, who seemed to have turned into a pregnant girl, and didn't know how to evaluate her behavior for a while.
At the same time, he couldn't help feeling that the Marquis Garcia's charm is so great that the Earl Schulz has been obsessed with it for so many years, and he would even give up his family's earl position to marry him.
"Hey, you said, Marquis Garcia would be willing to marry me?" Earl Schultz suddenly felt a little unconfident.
Ke Lin wiped the cold sweat off his brow, and said with a wry smile: "It should be... After all, you have paid so much for Marquis Garcia, if he doesn't marry you, it's really unreasonable!"
Earl Schultz seemed to be inspired, and immediately smiled again. His appearance was really no different from that of a brain-dead girl in love...
"Lord Earl, it's getting late, I'm going back to rest first. Tomorrow I will get up early and go to the camp on the other side of the lake, and bring Vera into Swan City."
"Thank you so much!"
"This is what I should do."
Colin bowed, then took his leave and left.
Earl Schulz looked at the faint fire on the other side of the lake, with a smile on his lips, as if looking forward to the scene of reuniting with his daughter tomorrow.
"You think he believed it?"
Suddenly, a thick male voice sounded.
Earl Schultz immediately turned around when he heard the words, bowed and saluted: "I think so, Your Excellency the Duke."
The person who came was covered in a gray robe, with only a vicissitudes of face exposed—it was the Duke of St. Hilde who should have died.
"Will Vera go to town tomorrow?"
"Yes."
"Very good!" The Duke of St. Hilde nodded in satisfaction, with a faint smile on his face, "Tomorrow you will publicly disclose your relationship with Vera, and you must confirm that she is your daughter."
A hint of hesitation appeared on Earl Schulz's face, and he asked carefully: "Your Excellency, please forgive me, if I impersonate Vera's mother, wouldn't Marquis Garcia stand up and expose me?"
"He dare not," said the Duke of St. Hilde with great certainty.
Seeing that the hesitation on Earl Schultz's face had not completely subsided, the Duke of St. Hilde added: "Because he dare not disclose the identity of Vera's real mother, you don't have to worry at all, no one will stand up to question her. you.
Starting tomorrow, you will be the mother of this generation of Northern Dukes! "
Count Schultz breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again: "My lord, what should I do after that?"
"Afterwards, you will return to Cold Winter City with Vera and propose to Marquis Garcia. Believe me, he dare not refuse you.
After you get married, your most important task is to conceive a child of the St. Hilde family. After you complete this task, I will tell you what to do next. "
Earl Schultz frowned slightly, and said hesitantly: "Your Excellency, even if Marquis Garcia is forced to marry me, he may not touch me. How can I conceive an heir?"
The Duke of St. Hilde smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry about this, I will help you."
Count Schultz looked up at Duke St. Hilde, with a charming blush on his face, nodded and said, "I understand."
"anymore question?"
Count Schultz thought for a while, and tentatively said: "Your Excellency, with all due respect, if you are willing to disclose the truth that you have not passed away, we don't have to bother you..."
The Duke of St. Hilde's eyes flashed brightly, he shook his head coldly and said: "I am seriously injured now, and I should not show up, otherwise I will be hunted down by the enemy!
Just do as I say, as long as this matter is done well, I promise you the title of duchess, and I will definitely not break my promise. "
"Yes." Earl Schultz lowered his head obediently, and when she looked up again, he found that Duke St. Hilde had disappeared.
