On the forest path outside Yulong City, a cavalry squad is slowly moving forward.
"Duke St. Grian, have you ever been to the East Territory before?"
Colin asked seemingly casually.
The Duke of St. Grian next to him was bathed in the sun, and his whole body exuded a dazzling brilliance that one couldn't look directly at.
"I have been. When I was young, I have traveled all over the empire." Duke St. Grian glanced sideways at Colin, as if he had seen through his temptation, and said, "I have stayed in your northern border. Not a short period of time, I also went to the Icefield of the Sky and saw the scene where the black cavalry fought with the trolls."
Although he knew that the Duke of St. Grian was deliberately changing the subject, Colin couldn't force him to continue asking him about his experience in the East Territory, so he had no choice but to follow the topic and say:
"Then you should be quite familiar with Marquis Garcia, right?"
The Duke of St. Grian glanced at the back of the lonely figure at the front of the team, and said with a smile:
"Yes. To tell you the truth, for a while, I was overwhelmed by his heroic appearance on the battlefield, and even thought of marrying him."
Colin blinked, and a thought suddenly popped up—
This Duke St. Grian, who had an affair with Marquis Garcia, could not be Vera's biological mother, right
But immediately, Colin felt that it was impossible.
If the Duke of St. Grian was really Vera's biological mother, I'm afraid he would have already joined the army of the Western Territory and cooperated with the Northern Territory to take revenge on the Church, instead of mediating in the middle and even protecting Pope Gregor in order to maintain the stability of the situation. Rui.
Moreover, Marquis Garcia had confessed to Colin a long time ago that Vera's biological mother had already passed away.
Colin believed that Marquis Garcia would not lie...
"Duke St. Grian, you are not married, and he is not married, so if you still have this intention, I can help you make a match..."
The Duke of St. Gerian glanced sideways at Colin, with an extremely complicated expression on his beautiful face, and said:
"I appreciate your kindness, but Garcia dare not marry me..."
Hearing the meaningful words of the Duke of St. Grian, Colin's gossiping heart suddenly twitched, but for a while, he didn't know how to dig deeper for more information.
Before he could figure out how to speak, Duke St. Grian suddenly changed the subject and said:
"How is it with you and Anna St. Pross?"
"Very good." Colin's eyes flashed, and he tentatively said, "Your Excellency, you seem to be very familiar with Anna."
Duke St. Grian smiled and said, "Did you want to ask a long time ago?"
Seeing that the other party had seen through, Ke Lin simply nodded and admitted.
The Duke of St. Gerian didn't pay much attention, and explained: "When I was traveling in the East, I discovered Anna's outstanding talent, and I also taught her martial arts for a period of time, so I can be regarded as half of her teacher. "
The Duke of St. Grian said lightly, as if there was nothing to delve into.
Moreover, Duke St. Grian and Anna are both talented female knights, so it is only natural that they sympathize with each other. Perhaps Duke St. Grian saw his younger self in Anna, so he looked at her differently and even gave her advice.
Such an explanation is reasonable, but Colin always feels that Duke St. Grian deliberately concealed something.
"Do you plan to have a child with her?"
While Colin was thinking wildly, Duke St. Grian suddenly asked an abrupt question.
"With whom? Anna?" Colin was stunned for a moment, and after seeing the Duke of St. Grian nodded in confirmation, he said in a bit of surprise, "This...we haven't considered this aspect, after all, she is mine. Lover, if you give birth to a child, it is also an illegitimate child... "
"You still care about this? How did I hear that you have an illegitimate daughter in the Half-Elf Kingdom?" Duke St. Grian obviously didn't intend to let Colin get away with it.
Colin rubbed his nose, pretending to be embarrassed and shy, but he was wondering in his heart, why should the Duke of St. Grian care about whether he and Anna have children
Moreover, Ke Lin doesn't know if the blood slave has the ability to bear children, but if he is forced to do that with a girl who has lost self-awareness, it will always be a bit awkward...
What's more, he and Anna are not real lovers, strictly speaking, they are still enemies.
Seeing that Colin seemed to be avoiding this issue, Duke St. Grian even continued to persuade:
"I know that you want to meddle in the affairs of the Eastern Realm, but compared to a student, wouldn't it be more convenient for you to control the Eastern Realm by making your own blood the Duke of the Eastern Realm?"
This statement is very explicit and very disrespectful.
Colin is already convinced that there must be some secret hidden between the Duke of St. Grian and Anna...
Seeing the change in Colin's face, Duke St. Grian seemed to realize that he was acting too eagerly, so he said as a remedy:
"Don't you just want to fight against the church? In fact, I also support this. The current church is indeed too disappointing.
However, if you really want to do this, then the Eastern Territory must be firmly in your hands, and it must not be returned to the church.
Therefore, you can make a fuss about the relationship between you and Anna. "
Colin took a deep look at the Duke of St. Grian, obviously not believing the other party's deliberate justification, and said:
"My lord duke, as long as you firmly stand on the side of the nobles, then even if the eastern border is uncertain, we have a great chance of winning against the church."
Duke St. Grian chuckled, and said: "I remind you, don't count on me too much. I promised you that after this war is over, I will help you force Gregory to abdicate, but other than that, don't Want more help from me.
After all, I am the Duke of the Western Territory, so I still have to consider the Western Territory first. "
Colin was a little disappointed, and was about to continue testing, but heard another charming voice behind him:
"What are you talking about?"
When Ke Lin turned his head, he saw that Queen Midella had left the carriage, was riding on a white horse, and trotted after her.
"Your Highness, I am asking the Duke of St. Grian about the situation of the orc army." Colin lied with a smile.
Duke St. Grian pursed his lips and smiled, but of course he would not expose it.
Queen Midella gave the two of them a deep look, and didn't say much, but raised her whip, pointed at the faintly visible black spot on the horizon ahead, and said:
"We're almost there, and ahead is the venue for this meeting—Oak Manor."
Colin smiled and said:
"I've never been to the royal manor, this time I just saw it."
Queen Midella raised her eyebrows and asked Colin, "Do you know who the former owner of this manor was?"
"The former owner?" Colin was stunned for a moment, wondering if this is the royal manor
Did the royal family use a "second-hand manor" as the venue for this meeting
While he was wondering, he heard Duke St. Grian say:
"This was once the private estate of Prince Lehi."
