"Why?"
Colin asked immediately.
Queen Midella did not answer this question, but instead asked: "Do you know why the Saint Chapman family is the only paladin family in the Glory Empire without a fief?"
Colin frowned. Although he couldn't understand the intention of Queen Midella's question, he still answered patiently:
"It should be that the royal family worried that the St. Chapman family would become too powerful after serving as the guardians of the empire, so they restricted their power to own fiefdoms."
Queen Midella shook her head slowly, and said: "No, you got the cause and effect wrong.
The St. Chapman family was not deprived of the power to own the fief after serving as the guardian of the empire, but they had no fief from the beginning, so they could gain the full trust of the royal family and be granted the authority of the guardian of the empire. "
Ke Lin thought for a while before realizing what Queen Midella wanted to express, but then another question naturally appeared in his mind:
"Then, why didn't the St. Chapman family have a fief from the beginning?"
"That's right, that's the crux of the matter." Queen Midella smiled and tapped Colin's nose lightly, and then reminded, "As one of the paladins who followed Ghana to build the Glorious Empire, the St. Chapman family They have made great military exploits and have not committed any unforgivable mistakes, so what reason can prevent them from becoming the lords of the empire?"
With a flash of inspiration, Colin said, "Bloodline! Isn't the St. Chapman family pure-blooded humans?"
"Smart!" Queen Midella praised, "That's right, Saint Chapman actually has elven blood, and they are the only paladin family born from the half-elf family!"
Colin suddenly realized.
No wonder Empress Midella identified him as a descendant of the St. Chapman family, so it was.
Colin's blood avatar was mistaken for the inheritance of a druid, and since he could become a druid, then Colin should naturally have elven blood.
Coupled with his incredible advancement speed, it's no wonder that Queen Midella recognized him as a descendant of the St. Chapman family.
But immediately, Colin also began to hesitate.
Could he really be a descendant of the St. Chapman family
Although he also knows that the reason why his advancement speed is so against the sky is entirely because of the cheating, but the "blood clan cheating" that Colin thinks is actually the result of the Druid inheritance and the blood of the St. Chapman family Combined effect
From the very beginning when he traveled to this world, Colin had already discovered that there were no blood races here.
And the reason why he thinks he is a vampire is also because the characteristics he shows are more in line with the description of vampires in the fantasy works of his previous life.
However, is it possible that this is all his misunderstanding of Druid
The more Colin thought about it, the more he felt that he might have acquired the Druid's inheritance inexplicably.
And the descendants of the St. Chapman family... Maybe the Angelet family also has some secrets that he doesn't know.
Moreover, Colin also found that claiming to be a descendant of the St. Chapman family is obviously more beneficial than harmful to him.
Anyway, he has completely offended the church now, and the only disadvantage of the descendants of the St. Chapman family is that they will be hostile and even hunted down by the church. But with what he is doing now, the church will never let it go if they have a chance he.
As for the benefits, there are too many.
It's like being able to become a Duke of the First Realm in a fair manner, and even gain higher prestige and power...
Thinking of this, Ke Lin's heart suddenly warmed up.
But immediately, he realized a problem.
"Your Highness, didn't you just say that the St. Chapman family cannot become a de facto lord because they are not pure-blooded humans? Then if I claim to be a descendant of the St. Chapman family, how can I rule the East?"
"You don't have to worry about that." Queen Midella smiled and explained, "The secret of the bloodline of the St. Chapman family is only known to the royal family, and after the St. Chapman family was wiped out by the church, even the royal family no longer has this secret." Concern, like my stupid husband, Reinhardt, doesn't know the secret anymore.
The real reason why the St. Chapman family could not become the lords of the empire is now unknown.
I also learned about it by accident while reading the royal collection, so if you can make the world recognize that you are a descendant of the St. Chapman family, then no one will think that you are not qualified to be a Duke of the First Realm. "
Colin fell into deep thought when he heard this.
Queen Midella's remarks seemed to be watertight, but the more so, it made Colin gradually become vigilant.
Moreover, he found that if he really did what Queen Midella said, even if he really became the Duke of the Eastern Realm, he would become more and more deadly because he was not a pure-blooded human being.
On the contrary, the handle of Empress Midella that I have grasped will become insignificant with the death of Emperor Reinhardt.
Because only the emperor really cares about the fact that the empress is having an affair with others, once the emperor dies, other people will at most regard it as an after-dinner conversation. After all, according to the moral standards of this world, having a lover is not a big deal .
So, Colin found that he seemed to be manipulated by this woman again...
Moreover, Colin also realized another problem—
Why didn't Queen Midella go to Marquis Garcia to cooperate
Garcia is her own brother, and the two can gain trust without exchanging handles.
Why did Queen Midella insist on looking for a lover like Colin
Don't say anything about Colin's military talent. You know, Colin learned all this skill from Marquis Garcia.
And in terms of prestige in the northern border, the Marquis of Garcia is no less than Colin.
The current commander of the northern army is also Marquis Garcia, not Colin.
unless…
What Queen Midella is looking for is not a collaborator, but a scapegoat...
Thinking of these, Ke Lin's fiery heart gradually calmed down.
The flattering and stunning woman in front of him almost confused his mind. At this moment, Colin finally realized that Queen Midella was not a simple character.
Under her incomparably charming appearance, there is a deep scheming hidden.
Colin couldn't judge at all which of what she said was true and which was false.
If he believed everything in such a foolish way, he would probably become Mida's tool sooner or later.
"This matter is too involved, let's take a long-term plan..."
Queen Midella frowned when she heard Ke Lin's hesitant words, and was about to speak to persuade her again, but saw Ke Lin suddenly pointing out the window, saying:
"Okay, it's almost dawn, you'd better leave quickly, so as not to be seen. I'll look for you after I've considered this matter."
Queen Midella turned her head, and saw that the eastern sky had gradually turned pale.
Dawn has come.
"Okay." Queen Midella took a deep look at Colin, then sent another sweet kiss, and said, "When you think about it, remember to come to me."
"good."
