Accompanied by melodious music, on the dance floor of the banquet hall, couples of men and women danced lightly.
What they danced was the most orthodox court dance of the Glorious Empire.
Kind of like a Viennese waltz on Earth.
The male and female dancers need to rely on each other to complete a series of reflexes, swings, and rotations harmoniously and lightly at a very fast speed. The whole dance steps are light, smooth, elegant and generous.
In such a rapid rotation, everything around will become blurred, only the face of the opposite partner in the arms can be clearly seen.
Spin, spin, spin.
As if wanting to grow old with the person in my arms.
However, the music will eventually end.
The song is over.
Colin led the light and boneless Vera to complete the last round.
Then reluctantly withdrew the right hand resting on Vera's smooth back, stepped back slightly, and bowed.
"Thank you, Miss Vera, this is the most memorable dance I've ever danced!"
Vera's little face was still flushed, and she was still panting slightly, as if she hadn't recovered from the dance just now.
Hearing Colin's uninspired flattery, she smiled slyly: "Knight Colin, why do I feel that you have said this to many girls?"
Colin raised his head without panicking.
He is very clear that at this time, what should be done is not to defend, but to attack.
So he smiled and said: "Please believe me, from now on, I will only say similar things to you!"
Sure enough, Colin's blunt words made Vera feel a little overwhelmed.
"Sweet words!" Vera gave Colin a white look angrily, but there was a shameful smile on her face.
At this time, Ke Lin could already feel the eyes full of "killing intent" around him.
Obviously, after successfully becoming Vera's first dance partner, Colin naturally became the public enemy of all the male nobles present.
However, he clearly doesn't care.
Vera's "big thick leg", he is definitely holding on to it!
Because, he had already seen Earl Uman in the crowd.
The fear of being assassinated instantly shrouded Ke Lin's heart, so he had to find ways to raise his status and let the other side throw a mouse.
After sending Vera back to Marquis Garcia, Colin politely said goodbye.
He understands the reason why it is too much to go too far, and it is a stupid behavior to hang around Vera at this time.
But before he could go far, a young man stood in front of Colin.
Huh
Has the supporting role that was brought up to slap your face come out so soon
Colin was thinking wildly, while showing a polite smile: "Excuse me, who are you?"
The young man smiled coldly: "Knight Colin, I heard that you used my identity as an impostor, why? Don't you even recognize me?"
Colin choked slightly, and immediately realized who the person in front of him was.
No wonder she looks familiar, she looks just as annoying as that crazy woman.
As expected of brothers and sisters.
"So it's Cavalier Kahn Suduo! Long time, long time!" Colin said Jiu Yang, but there was no respect in his expression.
Kahn obviously also saw that Colin was very upset, and said eccentrically, "Knight Colin, tell me, if the noble Miss Vera knows that the knight she danced with just now is a liar, how will she react?"
Facing Kahn's threat, Colin shrugged his shoulders, as if he didn't care: "You'll know if you try it."
Kahn's face suddenly sank, as if he was not sure whether Colin was really confident or just pretending.
But before he continued to test, Ke Lin suddenly lowered his voice and said, "However, if I were you, I would first care about your good sister."
"What happened to my sister?"
Seeing the other party taking the bait, Colin smiled and provocatively said:
"You know, it was your elder sister, Knight Cynthia, who led the army to recapture Ice Rock City. Therefore, according to the lord's law, shouldn't it be her who inherits the title of the Su Duo family, instead of you?"
"Nonsense!" Kahn frowned like a kitten whose tail had been trampled on. "I am the number one heir of the Su Duo family!"
"This kind of thing, you better keep it in front of the Duke of St. Hilde." Colin spread his hands, indicating that this matter has nothing to do with him.
This look of beating made Kahn almost unable to control his anger, and stared at Colin fiercely, panting heavily.
It was as if he wanted to beat up the extremely hateful guy in front of him.
But soon, Kahn quieted down.
Because, a palm was pressed on his shoulder.
Kahn turned his head back, his face immediately became extremely submissive: "Uncle!"
Colin's pupils also shrank instantly, looking at the person who came - Earl Uman.
"Lord Earl." Colin carefully lowered his head, not wanting the other party to see the fear hidden in his eyes.
Earl Uman is a mature and elegant middle-aged man, always with a faint smile on his face, as if he is polite to everyone.
However, the hidden sternness revealed from time to time in his wine-red eyes showed that the Earl was not a kind and kind person.
"Colin, I'm really glad to see that you're fine!" Earl Uman also patted Colin on the shoulder lightly, with a heartfelt smile on his face, "I heard that you were assassinated in Graycastle , What the hell is going on here? Who is so bold?"
Colin raised his head, with a friendly smile on his face: "The assassin is Cavalier Carter. As for who is behind him... It's still under investigation."
"Carter?" Earl Uman snorted and said angrily, "That white-eyed wolf who is not familiar with him is really a disgrace to the knight world! Don't worry, I will send someone to investigate this matter, and I will inform you if there is any news."
"Thank you Earl for your help!" Colin looked at the righteous Earl in front of him, and suddenly felt that his acting skills might not be worse than that of Marquis Charles.
Earl Uman smiled and took care of Colin again, as if he was really a friendly elder.
Colin also dealt with it carefully, as if he had never suspected that his assassination was related to the earl in front of him.
Before leaving, Earl Uman lowered his volume again and asked, "Did you and Marquis Charles agree to wear armor and come to the banquet together?"
"No, I just happened to think of going together." Ke Lin was a little surprised why the other party would suddenly ask this.
Earl Uman said meaningfully: "Oh, that's good. However, you have to be careful not to get too close to Marquis Charles."
"Why?" Colin asked directly.
Earl Uman did not answer, but the Kahn knight next to him taunted arrogantly:
"Idiot! The Marquis of Charles lost so badly this time and ruined the 200,000 northern army. Don't you need to be responsible for it? How dare you join in..."
"Shut up!" Earl Uman growled.
Cavalier Kahn suddenly shrank his head and turned into a quail again.
Earl Uman turned his head and finally said to Colin: "Remember, our allegiance will always be the Duke of St. Hilde, not a Marquis."
Seeing the back of Earl Uman leaving, Colin suddenly narrowed his eyes.
Only then did he realize that there seemed to be a dangerous undercurrent brewing at the banquet tonight.
