next morning.
Colin got up and washed up, and was about to go to the restaurant for dinner, but just turning the corner of the corridor, he saw a familiar figure standing on the balcony.
"Good morning, Your Majesty the Queen."
"Good morning, Count Angelet."
Queen Midella was wearing a red court-style low-cut tunic dress, revealing her round shoulders and snow-white furrows, her soft and bright long golden hair was casually tied, and her white, tender and smooth skin made people feel like kissing impulse.
Looking at this dignified and charming queen, Ke Lin couldn't help but think of the scene when the two had close contact in the Phoenix Palace.
At that time, in order to win over Colin, Queen Midella even used her body as a bait, but Colin believed the other party's deceit, thinking that she was really Vera's biological mother, so under the constraints of the inner moral bottom line, she forcibly The other party's "good intentions" were rejected.
This prevented the close contact between the two of them from turning into a negative distance contact.
But now, he already knew that Queen Midella was not Vera's biological mother...
A strange emotion was growing unstoppably in Colin's heart like weeds in the field.
But Ke Lin still forcibly restrained his mind and suppressed the ripples in his heart.
He knew that the glamorous queen in front of him was not a simple character, if not necessary, Colin still wanted to stay away from her.
So, he leaned slightly and asked respectfully, "Have you had breakfast, Your Highness?"
Queen Midella nodded and said, "It's been used."
"I haven't yet." Colin smiled and said, "Please allow me to leave first."
Queen Midella didn't hold back either, she said softly, "Okay."
Colin walked behind the queen and came to the restaurant not long after.
The Marquis Garcia was the only one in the hall. He had just finished his breakfast and was putting down his knife and fork, and was wiping the corners of his mouth with a napkin.
Colin stepped forward to say hello.
Marquis Garcia stood up and said, "I've already informed you to leave at nine o'clock."
"Okay." Colin nodded.
During this journey, the northern army did not stop too much in the towns along the route, and they all marched towards Yulong City at the fastest speed.
Because time is also extremely important to the northern border.
Neither Colin nor Marquis Garcia hoped that they would still be entangled with the church when the orc army arrived in the west. In that case, no matter how unwilling Colin was, he might have to consider the issue of reconciliation with the church.
After Marquis Garcia left, Colin quickly settled the food in front of him, and then walked out, ready to go back to pack his things.
But when he passed by the corridor expert's balcony again, he found that Queen Midella was still there.
Only this time, there was a beautiful long-tailed kite beside her.
Queen Midella's jade-like slender hands caressed the gorgeous feathers of the long-tailed kite, and two shallow dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth.
The long-tailed kite also seemed to enjoy the Queen's touch, and was singing on the balcony railing. The melodious birdsong was melodious, like tinkling spring water, like bright moonlight.
One person and one bird constitute a harmonious and beautiful picture scroll.
Colin couldn't help taking a few steps closer.
But the long-tailed kite seemed to be startled by Ke Lin, the rash intruder, and suddenly flapped its wings and flew out of the balcony again.
"You scared it!" Queen Midella turned her head, staring at Colin with a pair of beautiful eyes like autumn water, and said angrily.
Ke Lin was a little embarrassed, so he touched the tip of his nose and said:
"Sorry Your Highness, how about I help you catch it again?"
Queen Midella chuckled, shook her head and said, "It's not a knight's job to bully a long-tailed kite."
Ke Lin had no choice but to give up, and just as he was about to leave, he heard Queen Midella say again:
"Count Angelet, you seem to be avoiding me?"
"How could it be?" Colin grinned, putting on a sincere look.
Queen Midella looked at Ke Lin playfully, and said with a smile, "You should have already asked Garcia about Vera's biological mother, right?"
Colin touched the tip of his nose again, not knowing how to answer for a while, so he pretended not to hear the question.
Queen Midella didn't feel embarrassed because her lie was exposed, she continued:
"You don't have to pretend to be innocent, as if you didn't lie. Regarding Charles' death, I specially sent someone to the northern border to investigate, and it seems to be different from what you said at the beginning!"
"Ah? What did I say?" Ke Lin scratched his head and said with a silly smile, "Your Highness, it may have been too long, and I have forgotten."
Queen Midella rolled her charming eyes and said, "Okay, let the past go, you are now the guardian of the northern border, and I am a poor woman who was rejected by her husband and ran back to her mother's house. In this way, I am also a member who needs to be protected by you."
Colin would not be fooled by Queen Midella's pitiful appearance. Anyway, Colin would not easily believe a word of what this woman said.
"It's my honor to protect your safety!" Colin said awe-inspiringly, then changed the subject and said, "It's just that the northern army will set off again later, and I have to go back to pack my things. Your Highness, still Please allow me to retire first."
Queen Midara smiled slightly, and said: "You don't have to bother to avoid me, because I won't be traveling with the army later."
"Oh?" Colin was a little surprised, "So, are you planning to go north and return to Winter City?"
"Yes."
Ke Lin looked at Queen Midella's perfect profile, and suddenly felt a little bit reluctant, but he was more puzzled.
In his opinion, this glamorous queen is actually a typical political creature with top-notch brains and methods, and she knows how to use her best advantages to achieve her goals.
How could such a power-loving politician choose to stay away from the political center of the empire at this time
Can't she see that the imperial political arena is about to undergo a major reshuffle
It stands to reason that the attraction of the Dragon City at this time to people like Queen Midella is no different from the temptation of blood to sharks.
How could she bear it
Or was the phrase "I'm tired" she said at the tea party last night a voice from her heart
Or, she was extremely dissatisfied with the forced palace behavior in the northern border, so she chose to stay away from this dangerous vortex
As if seeing Colin's doubts, Queen Midella smiled slightly and said:
"Don't think too much, the reason why I left is not just because of the current situation, but more because of my disappointment with Reinhardt...
Moreover, my disappointment with him was not new, but accumulated for a long time. It was not until this time that he failed to show the courage and determination that satisfied me in front of such an excellent opportunity that I finally made up my mind.
Anyway, if I stay in Phoenix Palace now, I can't change the situation, and it will even make Reinhardt even more cranky.
Perhaps my departure may make him a little more sober.
However, before parting, I still want to remind you not to take Gregory lightly, he is not a simple character. "
