The living room suddenly fell silent.
Grace also froze suddenly, her bright purple pupils were full of consternation and fear.
Obviously, she did not expect that the request made by Colin turned out to be this.
"What? Don't you dare?"
Colin withdrew his fingers, not hiding his disappointment.
Grace smiled bitterly, and said in a coquettish tone, "My lord, that is the legitimate son of the Duke of St. Pros!"
"Are you worried about the revenge of the St. Pross family?"
"Yes." Grace nodded without hesitation.
Colin smiled playfully and said, "But even if you don't kill Earl Evan, the Duke of St. Pross will not let the Bruckens go."
Grace obviously misunderstood what Colin meant, and argued: "The Duke of St. Pros would not blame the Bruggen family for the defeat of the Tinder Army. What's more, his father has died heroically on the battlefield. He has not violated his own principles. oath."
"No, the Duke of St. Pros certainly wouldn't blame the Bruggen family for the defeat of the Tinder Army, but what if the Bruggen family took the initiative to open the gate of Tinder City and surrender to the Blood Cavalry Army?"
Colin then told Grace what he had met Morrie, the president of the Iris Chamber of Commerce, at the gate of the city and told him to do it.
Grace's eyes widened immediately, she obviously didn't expect that Colin would use this method to slander the Bruckens family.
But she had to admit helplessly that such slanderous words were easier to believe.
After all, compared to the fantasy that the 50,000 Tinder Army was wiped out by the 3,000 Blood Cavalry Army, and Tinder City was conquered in an instant, it is obviously more "reasonable" for the Bruges to betray the East and seek refuge in the North.
Grace is sure that when such rumors reach the ears of the Duke of St. Pros, the Bruckens family will no longer be trusted as before, even if she continues to marry Earl Evan herself.
The location of Pedestrian City is too important. Even if there is only a slight possibility of betrayal by the Bruges, the Duke of St. Pros will definitely take thunderous measures to eliminate this hidden danger.
Colin saw that Grace's complexion kept changing, so he knew that she had figured it out, and said with a smile, "How is it? Do you dare to kill Earl Evan now?"
Grace fell silent.
Ke Lin was not in a hurry, and continued to taste the scented tea, looking leisurely.
After the tea bottomed out, Grace finally spoke:
"Master Earl, I think a living Earl Evan is more useful to you."
Still dare not.
Of course, maybe it's actually unwilling.
Colin stared into Grace's eyes and asked, "Why?"
Grace poured a cup of scented tea for Colin again, and said after deliberation:
"My lord, with all due respect, although your blood cavalry troops are invincible wherever they go, they are too small to be able to conquer but cannot garrison, and because the orc invasion is imminent, you cannot mobilize the northern army to invade the east. territory.
So, all the cities in the east that you captured along the way are doomed to give up, right? "
Colin nodded and signaled the other party to continue with his eyes.
Grace gained some more confidence and continued: "But my lord, if you just return without success like this, you must not be reconciled. Especially in a strategic place like Tinder City, anyone who intends to get involved in the Eastern Territory will not Willing to give up easily.
Therefore, my suggestion is that you can use Earl Evan to form a puppet regime north of the Althias Mountains.
The Bruggen family will help you block the pass leading to the south of the Altius Mountains. As for the major Eastern Land lords north of the Altiasi Mountains, I believe they will definitely be able to do so after hearing about your record of annihilating the Tinder Army in the first battle. He will be frightened by the news and dare not be an enemy of the Blood Cavalry Army.
At this time, if you introduce Earl Evan, the direct blood of the paladin family, those lords will definitely go downhill and swear allegiance to Evan.
In this way, you can also achieve the goal of controlling half of the Eastern Territory by controlling Earl Evan! "
Colin smiled faintly and said, "Sounds good. However, there is a problem."
"what is the problem?"
"I don't trust Evan, this kid has too many ideas, it's hard to control."
Grace hurriedly said: "I can help you! You leave Evan in Tinder City, and leave three thousand blood cavalry. I can assure you that the hands of the St. Pros family will definitely not be able to reach the Althias Mountains." Come north!"
Ke Lin still shook his head: "But I don't trust you either!"
"Why?" Grace pouted her rosy lips, and said in disbelief, "You can trust the half-elf queen, why can't you trust me? What she can do, I can do too!"
As soon as she said that, the girl gritted her teeth and sat on Colin's lap, with her hands on Colin's chest, posing a very charming posture.
Ke Lin's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously reached out to wrap his arms around the girl's slender waist.
Feeling the warm and fragrant breath and the hot eyes, Ke Lin's heart beat faster.
However, Grace's slightly stiff body still exposed her inner unrest, and this kind of intimate physical contact was probably the first time for this young girl.
Colin smiled slightly, and patted the girl's waist with both hands to help her relax, but the words in his mouth were merciless:
"How do you make me trust a man whose father I just killed?"
Grace's body, which had just relaxed a little, stiffened again.
That's right.
The hatred of killing one's father is irreconcilable.
Grace bit her red lips tightly with her white teeth, almost dripping blood, and looked at Colin with mournful eyes.
It seems to be blaming Colin for insisting on revealing the bloody reality so ruthlessly.
"Then what do I have to do so that you can trust me?" Grace's tone was already filled with tears.
Ke Lin hugged the girl with a sad expression in his arms, but his heart was as firm as a stone.
Of course, he wouldn't be so easily fooled by the other party's appearance. Until now, he didn't know what the daughter of Earl Bruggen was up to.
But no matter how she performs, Colin will not give her credit as long as she does not receive a certificate of approval.
"Didn't I already say that? As long as you kill Earl Evan, I can trust you." Colin reached out and stroked the girl's fair and delicate neck like a swan.
"I dare not kill members of the St. Pross family!" Grace mistakenly thought that she still had room to bargain, so she stuck her whole body on it.
But in fact, Colin was just hesitating whether to transform Grace into a bloodborn.
The previous scene in the village near Linshui City still reminded Colin that blood descendants may not be completely loyal.
He is still observing the performance of another blood-born Marquis Vincent, hoping to see if the other party can still maintain absolute loyalty to him despite the serious conflict of interests.
Before coming to a conclusion, Colin didn't want to create another unstable factor.
Of course, if Grace is willing to kill Earl Avan, then Colin will definitely trust her.
Because at that time, what prevented Grace from betraying was not only the fetters of the blood clan, but also the connection of interests.
Grace looked at Colin whose eyes were getting colder, and the hope in her heart was gradually shattered. She was cruel, and put her delicate red lips together.
Colin didn't run away.
But just as he was savoring the greenness and fragrance of the girl, there was a sudden coughing sound from outside the living room.
"roll!"
The messenger outside the door trembled in fright, and immediately knew that he had come at an untimely time, but considering the importance of the news, he still reported loudly:
"My lord, Evan St. Pross was rescued!"
