What the hell
Colin's eyes widened, obviously not expecting such an answer.
Looking at Colin's appearance, Grace seemed to realize something, and immediately asked: "Isn't this the secret that Her Royal Highness told you?"
Ke Lin secretly rolled his eyes, and then came to his senses—could the queen's words still be believed
The so-called "secret" she gave to Grace is probably the same as the "secret" that Colin got, it is a complete lie.
"Do you think the secret that the queen said is true?" Colin did not answer Grace, but asked instead.
"His Royal Highness shouldn't lie about this kind of thing, right?" Grace said after consideration, "And during the year I stayed in the Phoenix Palace, I did notice that Emperor Reinhard didn't care about Prince Harrison and Princess Judy. Not particularly caring.
Moreover, I think His Majesty may have noticed this, so he gave birth to a bunch of illegitimate children outside. "
Colin rubbed his chin, and found that what Grace said really made sense.
When Emperor Reinhardt sent both Harrison and Judy to the northern border, Colin found it strange that even if it was for apprenticeship, there was no need to send his only two heirs.
If Colin fell out with the royal family, wouldn't Harrison and Judy be hostages
There is also Emperor Reinhardt's habit of cuckolding his subordinates, which is indeed very much like a revenge against the queen...
But then Colin laughed secretly, realizing that he was almost fooled by the queen again.
At the beginning, he believed in the Queen's claim to be Vera's biological mother. Wasn't it because there were so many seemingly reasonable clues to prove it
But none of these clues is solid evidence.
Later, Marquis Garcia himself denied the queen's claim, so Colin dared to conclude that the "queen's secret" that Grace had mastered must also be a lie.
How could a cunning politician like Queen Midella really hand over her deadly secret
Not to mention giving it to an immature girl like Grace.
The Bruckens were indeed important, but not to this extent.
Even with Grace's slightly mysterious life experience, she would never make Queen Midella pay such a price to win her over.
Reinhardt's attitude toward Harrison and Judy was indeed odd, and his well-known eccentricities did seem to suggest something, but it certainly wasn't because the queen gave him a green hat.
Otherwise, how could Emperor Reinhardt, who held the highest authority in the Glorious Empire, tolerate Queen Midella until now
This is the most important bloodline issue, even if Empress Midella came from the St. Hilde family, it is impossible to get the royal family's tolerance on this issue.
"What are you thinking?" Seeing that Colin had been silent, Grace couldn't help asking.
"It's nothing." Of course, Colin would not tell Grace the "handle" that Queen Midella gave him.
Although that was also a lie, there were indeed doubts about Vera's life experience, and Colin did not intend to tell Grace, an outsider, the secret of the St. Hilde family.
Grace knew that Colin was hiding something from herself, but she didn't dare to ask more.
In the current situation, she is obviously the weak side, and she is still the one who needs others.
Ever since she learned that she was not Earl Bruggen's biological daughter, Grace felt a strong sense of crisis.
When she first learned that she was about to marry Earl Evan, Grace was extremely entangled.
On the one hand, she also wants to marry into the San Pros family and gain more power, so that even if her life experience is exposed, she still has room for change.
But on the other hand, she worried that her behavior would be regarded as a betrayal by Queen Midella. After all, she was well aware of the conflict between the royal family and the Eastern Realm, and she also knew that she was actually a member of the Eastern Realm who was planted by Queen Midara. pieces.
Such a dilemma made Grace behave so strangely when she saw Colin who had entered the city.
Others think that Colin is her father-killing enemy, but in fact, in Grace's eyes, Colin is not only a savior, but also an opportunity.
"Master Earl, now that we have exchanged our secrets, can you trust me?" Grace asked shyly, biting her red lips.
Colin could naturally understand Grace's hint, so he stretched out his hand, pinched the girl's clean chin, and said with a smile:
"I think this trust will be stronger if I can get to know you better."
Grace's delicate and pretty face turned red, but she still stuck to it firmly.
The girl's fragrant breath spread over the face, and Colin could even feel the other's gradually rising body temperature and beating heart.
So, he no longer hesitated, bowed his head and hugged Grace tightly into his arms.
This time, finally, there were no blind attendants who came to bother her.
…
Early the next morning.
Colin opened his eyes and saw Grace's pretty face.
The girl in his arms was still awake, and the tender and smooth touch made him reluctant to move his hand away.
Perhaps it was Colin's little action that alarmed Grace, the girl groaned and woke up leisurely.
Feeling Colin's mischievous hands, Grace, who hadn't recovered from the storm last night, was so frightened that she begged for mercy.
Ke Lin was not the kind of person who didn't know how to pity and cherish jade. He smiled and said, "Okay, I won't bully you anymore, get up."
Grace smiled and leaned over to give Colin a sweet good morning kiss, then quickly got up and picked up the clothes on the ground.
While putting on, Grace said to Colin, "Colin, what are you going to do next?"
"I will continue to go south and march into Bailu City." Colin also got up from the bed, put on his clothes, and said, "Leave after breakfast."
"So anxious?" Grace seemed a little reluctant, "Are you really going to attack Bailu City? I still don't think that's a good idea."
Colin smiled slightly, and said proudly: "If I told you a day ago that I was going to attack the 50,000 Tinder Army formation with 3,000 Blood Cavalry, would you think it was a good idea?"
Grace was speechless.
For someone like Colin who was good at creating miracles on the battlefield, she felt that any words of persuasion were a little weak.
But Grace still tried to persuade: "I just think it's safer to defend Tinder City first, and pass through the half of the eastern border north of the Althias Mountains..."
"I know you are unwilling, but you have to be patient and have confidence in me." Colin looked into Grace's eyes and said seriously.
After this time getting along, Colin has already noticed that although Grace is young and immature, she also has a lot of ambitions.
Of course, Colin doesn't mind his lover being ambitious.
As long as she can obey.
Seeing the firmness in Colin's eyes, Grace nodded and said, "Okay, then what do you want me to do?"
"Not yet." Colin stepped forward to support the girl's shoulders, "be patient, and don't always think about this place north of the Altiasi Mountains. In my eyes, the entire Eastern Territory will be my pocket sooner or later." of things."
Feeling Colin's strong confidence, Grace's heart was surging, and she took the initiative to send a kiss again.
The clothes I just wore slipped off again.
