Half-elf palace.
When Duke Miller saw that his sister's cry suddenly disappeared in the delivery room, he suddenly felt puzzled and asked, "Why is there no movement? Could it be that she has already given birth?"
But after waiting for a while, he shook his head and said to himself: "No, I didn't hear the child crying!"
Colin, who had been silent all this time, finally turned around at this moment, with a strange smile on his face, and said to Duke Miller:
"What did the Eastern Realm promise you?"
"What?!" Duke Miller was taken aback, his face full of astonishment.
Ke Lin didn't speak, just looked at the other party, his eyes full of jokes that the prey had already taken the bait.
Duke Miller calmed down, and pretended to be relaxed and said, "Master Earl, shall we go in and see what happened inside?"
"What do you think happened inside?" Colin asked with a smile.
"This... how would I know, if it's convenient, I'd better go in and have a look..."
"Then what do you expect to see happen inside?"
"I... Of course I hope to see Aisha give birth to a healthy baby!" Duke Miller tried to maintain a relaxed tone.
But Colin still caught the trace of deep fear and panic in his eyes.
"Unfortunately, your expectations may come to nothing." Colin sighed pretendingly, as if he really felt sorry for Duke Miller.
"Why?"
"Because Her Majesty is not going to give birth at all." After Colin finished speaking, he folded his hands on his chest and stared at Duke Miller with great interest, expecting his reaction.
Duke Miller opened his mouth wide, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Master Earl... Are you kidding me..."
"Am I joking with you?" Colin restrained his smile, and his tone became serious, "This is a test that I discussed with Her Majesty the Queen, to see what big fish I can catch. Ha ha, I didn't expect Ah, Duke Miller, I actually fished you out!"
"My lord, I don't quite understand what you mean..." Duke Miller was still trying to resist.
Colin sneered, and said, "Duke Miller, do you know? I especially like watching the prey struggling in the trap. Every futile struggle they make for survival is so moving, but And so ridiculous."
Duke Miller's expression couldn't hold back at last, cold sweat dripped from his forehead, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably. He opened his mouth, wanting to defend himself, but he didn't know how to speak.
Colin didn't seem to want to listen to Duke Miller's justification, and continued on his own: "Actually, from the very beginning, I was curious about what the real killer move of those rebel forces in Silvermoon City is.
Those half-elf merchants are obviously impossible, even if they have the courage to burn their food reserves, so what? At most, the northern border will be more difficult this winter, but they have no ability to change the situation in Silvermoon City.
As for the Silver Moon Guard, hehe, with the Blood Cavalry in the city, what chance do they have? Even if they hid in the alleys and used the terrain to make the Blood Cavalry lose their greatest advantage, so what
Even if the Blood Cavalry is dismounted, they are still the elite of the elite, and they may not be able to win a crushing victory, but if the Silver Moon Guard thinks that they can defeat the Blood Cavalry, they are really naive!
Therefore, I realized very early on that the rebel army must have a real killing move behind them, otherwise they would never dare to jump out and seek death.
So what is this killer move? "
Having said that, Colin slowly approached Duke Miller. His sharp gaze and extremely oppressive aura made the latter unable to bear it, and he had to lower his head.
"In order to figure this out, Aisha and I co-planned the current scene. She pretended to give birth to convince the rebels that she was at the most vulnerable moment. At this time, I could see their cards clearly.
It's just that they didn't expect that the trump card of the rebels turned out to be the Miller family! "
Facing Colin's blunt accusation, Duke Miller bowed his head in silence, as if he had acquiesced.
Ke Lin didn't care either, and continued with a smile: "But to be honest, I'm not too surprised by this.
Since you were able to use Aisha as a marriage tool and force her to marry an old king who had half a foot in the grave, it means that in your hearts, you did not treat her as a family member.
So this time, you also chose to continue sacrificing Aisha without hesitation.
If Elsa has an accident, hehe, then Duke Miller, you should be able to successfully inherit the half-elf throne, right? "
"Do you think I did this for the sake of the throne?" Duke Miller finally raised his head, glared at Colin, and growled in a low voice.
"Oh? What is that for?" Colin asked with great interest.
"I'm for the Half-Elf Kingdom!" Duke Miller said righteously.
"Heh—" Colin couldn't help but sneered.
Facing Colin's ridicule, Duke Miller clenched his fists and said forcefully: "Colin Angelet! Why don't you think about why this rebellion caused such a commotion? Almost all the half-elves Nobles, generals, soldiers, merchants, are all resisting
Because they know that that bitch Aisha is not worthy to be the king of half-elves at all!
She's nothing more than a puppet you use to control the half-elves!
As long as she is in power for a day, the interests of our half-elves will never be guaranteed! "
"Really?" Colin rubbed his chin and asked indifferently, "Then tell me, how did we infringe on the interests of the half-elves?"
"You forcefully buy food from half-elves at a low price..."
"But the East Territory requires you to destroy all the food, at least I'm still willing to pay."
"You forcibly dispatched the Silver Moon Guard, and let the half-elven soldiers shed blood and sacrifice for you..."
"The Silver Moon Guards in the north are only helping me guard the territory. I didn't send them to fight any tough battles, let alone use them as cannon fodder!"
"Hmph, no matter how much you argue, the current Half-Elf Kingdom is just a doll in your hands!"
"Hehe, so respectable Duke Miller, if you ascend the throne, won't you be a doll in the hands of the Eastlanders?"
"I..." Duke Miller blushed, and couldn't refute for a while.
Colin smiled coldly, and said disdainfully: "What for the half-elf kingdom? This is basically an excuse you use to appease your conscience. Without it, you can't sleep peacefully at night, right
Since you are fighting for power and profit, then say it frankly, so that I can still look up to you.
However, as long as you participate in this game of power, when you lose, besides admitting it openly, any excuses will only add to the joke. "
After saying this, Colin turned around and walked into the delivery room.
At the same time, two armored men quietly appeared behind Duke Miller and controlled him.
Duke Miller struggled and begged Colin for mercy while screaming: "My lord, my lord! I admit defeat, I admit defeat! You can't kill me, you can't kill me! I'm Aisha's brother, brother …”
Chi!
A cold light flashed, and Duke Miller's shouting stopped abruptly.
With a bang, a bloody head rolled to the ground.
In the delivery room, Mrs. Sharon had already fainted. She didn't know whether it was from fright or shame.
Seeing Colin walking in, Queen Aisha, who was leaning on the bed, showed a bright smile, and was about to say something, but suddenly saw the night sky outside the window brighten up.
Colin also looked out in surprise.
The pitch-black night sky turned fiery red in an instant, as if the fire in the city had spread to the sky.
But of course Ke Lin knew how the fire on the ground could reach the sky. Just as he was about to go out to take a closer look, a golden phoenix phantom suddenly rushed out of the sky fire!
With the momentum of looking down on the world, this phantom of the phoenix passed through the vast night sky before everyone could react, circled around the half-elf palace at a high speed, and then turned into a little bit of starlight, gradually dissipating.
Colin frowned, and was about to ask, when Queen Aisha held her stomach in pain and said:
"Colin, it seems that I'm really going to give birth this time!"
