"Master, can I ask you to dance?"
Princess Judy stood timidly in front of Ke Lin with her hands behind her back, and asked with a shy face.
Colin quietly rolled his eyes. Of course he knew that this eccentric imperial princess was pretending to be shy on purpose, but he didn't know what she was up to this time.
At this time, the dining time has passed, and the attendants have already cleaned up the tables, and the band has also changed to melodious dance music, waiting for the host to lead the first dance tonight.
Colin wanted to dance with Elsa for the first time, but now Princess Judy has offered the invitation. As a gentleman, of course he cannot refuse.
And Queen Elsa would not be angry with Princess Judy, and smiled and handed Colin's hand to Judy.
Ke Lin signed the hand of Princess Judy, looked at the little girl in the white princess dress, and suddenly realized that she already looked like a big girl.
The skin is like snow, the facial features are exquisite, the golden hair is scattered on the white shoulders, the silk dress outlines the exquisite body, the slender legs that are stagnant like jade are exposed outside the skirt, glowing with moist luster, full of vitality of life vitality.
Two shallow dimples appeared on the bright face, and a pair of eyes as beautiful as the green lake were full of smiles.
"Teacher, you don't seem to be too happy to dance with me for the first time!"
"of course not."
Colin calmed down, led Princess Judy to stand in the center of the hall, then held her in his arms, and began to spin to the beat of the music.
Slap!
The exquisite crystal shoe stepped heavily on the marble floor, making a discordant sound.
Colin, who had just escaped the stampede, shook his head speechlessly, and said, "You can't step on me, dance well."
Princess Judy pouted unconvinced, but she also knew that it was impossible for her to step on a high-ranking knight.
She rolled her big bright eyes, and suddenly whispered:
"Teacher, I discovered a secret of my brother, do you want to hear it?"
Colin looked down at the little girl who was close at hand, and said with a smile: "You won't find out what happened between him and Cathy, will you?"
"Huh? Teacher, you already knew!"
"Um."
Princess Judy was silent for a while, then asked again: "Then how could the teacher allow such a thing to happen? My brother is the first heir to the royal family, but Cathy is a half-elf and a maid!"
"Why are you so anxious? Your brother is going to marry Cathy, so let him experience the taste of love."
"But... what if they have a baby!"
"It's just an illegitimate child. Your father has a bunch of illegitimate children."
"But my father's lovers are all human nobles!" Princess Judy said anxiously, "Teacher, you don't know that the blood of the royal family cannot flow into foreign races!"
"Is there such a rule?" Colin wondered.
"Yes!" Princess Judy nodded earnestly, "It was stipulated by His Majesty the first emperor Garner himself that the blood of San Lorenzo must not flow into other races!"
"Why?"
"How do I know why?"
Colin frowned, lost in thought.
This is actually a strange rule, after all other paladin families can intermarry with foreigners.
For example, the St. Hilde family has married the noble daughter of the family to the troll many times, and even Vera almost married the half-elf prince. Then why the only royal family, the San Lorenzo family, cannot intermarry with foreigners, and even the illegitimate children Can't have it
blood
Isn't the blood of the San Lorenzo family also the blood of the paladins
Seeing that Ke Lin didn't speak, Princess Judy became a little anxious, so she called out softly, "Teacher!"
Ke Lin came back to his senses, but still didn't pay much attention to it, and said casually, "What's the rush, just let them take contraceptive measures."
In this era, there are actually contraceptive measures, such as the intestines of certain animals, and certain specific medicines.
In short, it is not difficult to prevent Prince Harrison and Cathy from having "the crystallization of love".
"Really? Can there be contraceptive measures?" Princess Judy asked curiously, blinking her big shining eyes.
"Kids, don't ask too many questions." Colin didn't explain much, thinking that he would explain to Harrison later, and let him pay attention to this point, don't really cause "human life", it will be really hard to deal with .
Princess Judy snorted softly, and asked again: "Then with contraceptive measures, can my brother be with Cathy?"
"As long as they don't get married, of course it's up to them." Colin replied casually.
"Okay, I understand." Princess Judy nodded, and then stopped talking.
At the end of the song, Colin stopped slowly with the little girl, and he suddenly said, "Harrison asked you to test me, right?"
Princess Judy trembled slightly, lowered her head to avoid Colin's gaze, and said guiltily, "Of course not."
Ke Lin smiled faintly, and didn't pester the little girl too much. He let go of his hand and let her run away.
Just when Colin was about to talk to Prince Harrison, Queen Aisha suddenly came over.
Colin held Aisha's hand, just about to explain, but saw that Aisha had handed over a letter, lowered his voice and said:
"The letter from Winter City has just been received."
Colin quickly took the letter, opened it, and his expression changed instantly.
Seeing this, Aisha asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Colin handed over the letter, and Aisha took it, only to find that there was only a simple sentence on it—
There are changes in the Western Territory, hurry back!
And there is no sign and badge.
As if seeing Aisha's doubts, Colin explained in a low voice: "This is the handwriting of Archbishop Ajani."
Aisha nodded and asked, "What will happen to the western region? Could it be that something went wrong with the orc expedition army?"
"I'm afraid so." Colin felt a little heavy in his heart.
When he was in Yulongcheng, he knew about the western border sending an expeditionary army to the orc territory, but at that time, both the royal family and the prime minister had sufficient confidence in this expedition, and they didn't even send troops to support it.
But unexpectedly, something happened.
The orcs on the west side of the Tianduan Mountains are definitely a great threat to the Glorious Empire, especially when they complete their unification and successfully form the Orc Empire.
Although neither Vera nor the Marquis of Garcia had received a letter yet, Colin knew that Adjani would not joke about this kind of thing, and the church must obtain information faster than the lord.
Therefore, Colin knew that he could not stay in Silvermoon City for long.
Queen Aisha also thought of this, and asked: "The plan for the East Territory... let it go?"
Ke Lin pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "No! We have been preparing for this for so long, how can we give up at the last moment
What's more, I have already said that I must settle this account with the St. Pross family! "
Aisha frowned beautifully, and persuaded: "But if the orcs are really about to invade, I'm afraid the timing is not very good..."
"It doesn't matter, let's fight quickly!" Colin made up his mind immediately, "Besides, the orc invasion is an excellent reason to confuse the East."
"However, before we pretended to be leisurely and wanted to lure Dongjing to the bait. If we suddenly show eagerness now, Dongjing will definitely realize that there is a problem."
Colin pondered for a moment, and suddenly saw Prince Harrison who was leading Cathy into the dance floor, and smiled and said:
"I have a solution."
