With such a coffin placed in front of the castle, the atmosphere seemed right again.
Colin showed a satisfied smile, and teased: "Viscount Green, do you still welcome me?"
Viscount Green's face turned blue and turned white.
At this time, the welcome gesture of the Bruckens family seemed very awkward.
Seeing Viscount Green, who clenched his fists tightly and seemed to be unable to bear it in the next second, to rush over to fight with him, Colin not only did not make any defensive gestures, but got off his horse and slowly came to the opponent, as if he wanted to Such a chance of revenge was sent to Viscount Green.
Viscount Green began to tremble all over, and he didn't know whether it was because of anger or fear.
Seeing the enemy who killed his father standing in front of him defenseless like this, it seems that as long as he draws out his sword and stabs forward, he can avenge his father.
But Viscount Green trembled for a long time, but he still didn't draw out his sword.
He dare not.
Colin curled his lips in disdain. Just as he was feeling extremely bored, he heard a crisp voice suddenly:
"Since Count Angelet has come to Tinder City, he is a guest of the Bruggen family. Of course we welcome him."
Colin raised his brows, looked past Viscount Green in front of him, and saw a beautiful young girl walking out of the Bruckens family.
She was wearing a light green tunic dress, with chestnut brown hair hanging over her smooth shoulders. She was tall and well-proportioned, and her delicate facial features had some youthful taste, but she had an unforgettable uniqueness. charm.
The girl gracefully raised the hem of her skirt, bowed her knees to salute, and stretched out her slender hands in front of Ke Lin.
It was for Colin to kiss his hand.
He really regarded him as a visiting guest.
Colin stared at the girl's bright purple eyes with great interest, and said with a smile, "If I'm not mistaken, you should be the daughter of Earl Bruggen, Miss Grace, right?"
"Yes." Grace nodded, her little hand was still placed in front of Colin, as if she insisted on completing this etiquette.
"I just killed your father." Colin "kindly" reminded.
A look of sadness flashed in Grace's eyes, but then she said firmly:
"Death on the battlefield is the fate of all knights, including my father, and it is also an honor they strive for. The Brugen family will not hold grudges against you because of this."
Colin laughed, showing appreciation.
Compared to Viscount Green, who has neither the guts to take revenge nor hide his anger, this daughter of Earl Bruggen is much more interesting.
So, he held up Grace's slender hand in a very gentlemanly manner, kissed lightly between the fingers, and said, "Miss Grace, may your youth and beauty last forever."
Colin leaned over, and immediately exposed his back to Viscount Green unpreparedly.
Viscount Green trembled even more.
But until Colin finished kissing his hands, he still didn't do anything.
Grace glanced at her brother indiscriminately, and she couldn't tell whether it was disappointment or joy in her eyes.
"My lord, please move to the living room and taste the scented tea I made myself."
Colin took a deep look at the girl, as if he suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "Oh, by the way, I heard that you are already engaged to Earl Evan?"
"Yes."
"Your fiancé is now my prisoner, do you want to meet him?"
"It's gone." Grace said lightly, her tone seemed to be discussing a stranger who had nothing to do with her.
Then, a charming smile bloomed on her delicate face again, and she said, "Moreover, only the winners are eligible to drink the scented tea I made myself."
Colin laughed and said, "Then I must try Miss Grace's scented tea!"
After finishing speaking, he didn't let the blood cavalry army enter the castle first and walked in so openly.
Grace looked at Colin's heroic and heroic back, with an incomprehensible light in her eyes.
After hesitating for a moment, she finally stepped forward to catch up, and naturally reached out to hold Colin's right arm, smiling sweetly: "Master Earl, I will lead the way for you."
Feeling the warm touch from his arm, Ke Lin's heart skipped a beat.
Turning his head, Colin happened to see the shame on the girl's cheek.
Very moving.
Seeing this scene, Viscount Green's face flushed red behind him, and even the pimple on the tip of his nose became bright.
However, he was just angry and didn't do anything to stop it.
It wasn't until Colin and his sister faded away that Viscount Green suppressed the anger and fear in his heart, and shouted at the servants:
"What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and carry your father's body in!"
…
The bright afternoon sun shines through the windows of the castle, slantingly reflected on the spotless oak floor, plating this spacious living room with a layer of light gold.
More than a dozen scented candles are burning quietly. On the clusters of jumping flames, there is a silver disc on each side. The amber in the disc melts slowly under the temperature of the flame, and the fresh and elegant fragrance gradually pervades in the air.
In the center of the living room, Colin sat on the water lizard leather sofa chair in a relaxed posture, quietly admiring the girl who was making scented tea for herself.
With a focused expression, the girl from the Bruggen family exuded an unspeakable aura.
It is as if the ice and snow on the top of Althias Mountain are pure and beautiful, but they are also repelling people thousands of miles away.
"My lord, your scented tea." Grace put the tray on the table, holding a cup of green scented tea with her white hands.
However, she did not pass the tea cup directly to Colin, but brought it to her own mouth, took a sip, and then brought it to Colin.
Looking at the red lip marks on the silver teacup, Ke Lin smiled, took it with his hand, and brought it to his mouth.
I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but Colin's lips just touched the position where the lip marks were.
After one sip, there is a slight bitterness at first, and then the light and pleasant fragrance penetrates the heart and spleen, and the body feels refreshed both inside and outside.
Putting down the teacup, Colin saw that the face of the girl in front of him was already flushed with embarrassment.
However, what she said next was quite different from her harmless appearance:
"My lord, aren't you worried about the poison in the tea?"
Ke Lin's expression remained unchanged, he chuckled and said, "Didn't you drink it first?"
"But I may have taken the antidote in advance." Grace blinked playfully, trying to find a little bit of fear on Colin's face.
But unfortunately, she was disappointed.
The Earl of the North seemed truly fearless.
"If you can return to the embrace of my lord with Miss Grace, then you will not be lonely along the way."
As if stimulated by such explicit words, the blush on Grace's pretty face became more obvious. She snorted softly and said angrily:
"My lord, now I finally understand why the half-elf queen willingly became your lover and gave birth to a daughter for you."
Ke Lin took another sip of scented tea, looked at the girl in front of him with a smile, and said, "What? Do you want to learn from her too?"
Grace gave Colin a flirtatious glance, and the amorous feelings revealed at that moment were like a blooming snow lotus, beautiful and charming at the same time.
An old driver like Ke Lin certainly understood the meaning conveyed by the girl's eyes, so he continued with a smile:
"As long as you do one thing, you can be my lover."
Grace also seemed to understand what Colin meant, she lowered her head shyly, and said softly:
"What's up?"
Colin stretched out his index finger, hooked the girl's chin, and turned her gaze back to him, saying:
"I want you to kill your fiancé, Count Evan!"
