"Colin Angelet?"
Emperor Reinhard curled his lips, with a look of disdain on his face, "How can he, an earl, prevent me from controlling the northern border?"
Queen Midella said solemnly:
"Your Majesty, you've been paying attention to the western region these days. I'm afraid you don't know that there has been another drastic change in the sky ice field?"
"Oh? Could it be that this Colin Angelet led his troops to teach the troll a lesson?"
"It's not just a lesson. He led the army to break through the troll king's city, and killed the troll emperor Okamoto Volkin, the white wolf witch king Squeen, and the prince of the north Otto."
"Paladin Otto?"
"That's right."
Emperor Reinhardt took a breath, which changed his original contemptuous attitude.
He had to admit that Colin did not just "teach the troll a lesson", but completely broke the backbone of the troll empire!
Queen Midara continued:
"Colin Angelet's prestige in the northern border has even surpassed that of the Duke of St. Hilde! So, if you think of him as a lucky boy who married the Duke of the northern border, it would be a big mistake .”
Emperor Reinhard nodded solemnly, and said, "Fortunately, he didn't come from a paladin family..."
Hearing this emotion, Queen Midella's eyes flickered slightly.
Emperor Reinhard didn't notice the queen's strangeness, and asked himself:
"So, how can I clear this obstacle? I heard that he has also come to Storm Fortress. I should meet him... But you also know that this kid once refused my solicitation. It is probably useless to meet him. Why don't you find someone else?" Reason, get rid of him!"
Queen Midella smiled brightly when she heard the words, and said:
"Your Majesty, if you need a reason, I just have one here."
Emperor Reinhard's face was overjoyed, and he quickly asked, "What?"
Queen Midella said coldly: "Seize the royal knight privately, and let Garcia St. Hilde go!"
Emperor Reinhard frowned, and immediately smiled angrily: "Does he really dare to act recklessly like this?"
"Why don't you dare. Don't forget, Garcia is Vera's biological father. How could Colin watch him come to Storm Fortress to seek his own death?"
Emperor Reinhard's eyes were cold, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"Let Colin Angelet come to see me immediately!"
…
"Your Majesty wants to see me now?"
"Yes, my lord count."
Colin hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, wait for me to change my clothes."
After speaking, he turned and walked back to the room.
While changing into the earl's dress, Colin was thinking.
He originally planned to inquire about the specific situation of Storm Fortress first, and then decide how to break the situation, but he did not expect that the emperor would take the initiative to summon him so soon.
This gave him a bad feeling.
Before learning that the three paladins were coming to Storm Fortress, Colin's plan was very simple.
The Knight Erich who was sent by Emperor Reinhardt to escort the Marquis of Garcia has been secretly transformed into a blood slave by Colin. Take precautions and execute the assassination decisively.
But now that plan is clearly not working.
With three paladins here, even if Emperor Reinhardt died, Colin would not be able to take away the imperial coalition forces, let alone save Storm Fortress from being sacrificed.
Moreover, once Emperor Reinhard died and before the new emperor ascended the throne, the theoretical supreme ruler of the Glorious Empire became Empress Midella...
Colin felt that this woman might be even more dangerous.
However, just because Emperor Reinhardt cannot die now, Colin had a bolder idea—
Perhaps Emperor Reinhardt can become a breakthrough.
After changing his clothes, Colin followed the attendants all the way to the top floor of the castle.
The guard at the door pushed open the huge wooden door, bowed and said, "My lord, Your Majesty is waiting for you inside."
Colin nodded and strode in.
The space inside the door is very spacious, and the decoration is extremely luxurious.
Stepping on the thick cashmere carpet feels like walking on clouds.
Emperor Reinhard leaned on the sofa alone, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, and looked indifferently at Colin who walked in.
Before Colin stepped forward to salute, Emperor Reinhardt had already said:
"Earl Angelet, I heard that you just led an army to break through the troll king's city? You also killed the troll emperor, the white wolf witch king, and that troll paladin?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. It all depends on the guidance and protection of my lord." Colin bowed slightly, with a humble posture.
"Such a brilliant achievement, I must personally praise!"
Afterwards, without waiting for Colin to refuse, Emperor Reinhardt continued:
"Colin Angelet, are you willing to serve as the Guardian of the Glorious Empire and dedicate everything to protecting the glory of the Empire from now on?"
Colin was taken aback, apparently he didn't expect Emperor Reinhardt to be so naked when he came up.
And the conditions given were exactly the same as those in Oak Manor before.
It's just that I clearly rejected such a solicitation last time, why did Emperor Reinhard want to bring up the old matter again
Colin raised his head, looked at the stern-faced Emperor Reinhardt, and suddenly understood—
This is not to win over, but the last chance Emperor Reinhardt gave himself.
One last chance to surrender to him.
Obviously, Emperor Reinhardt has lost his patience.
Even, Ke Lin guessed that if he refused again, what awaited him next would be a merciless blow!
But the question is, why did Emperor Reinhard treat himself with such a decisive attitude
Seemingly seeing Colin's hesitation and doubts, Emperor Reinhard smiled coldly, and said again:
"Colin Angelet, where is my Royal Guard Captain Erich Knight? And where is the Marquis Garcia whom he went to escort?"
Ke Lin's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood why Emperor Reinhard had such an attitude.
He actually already knew about this!
So, who told the secret
A name immediately flashed in Colin's mind—
Midella St. Hilde!
So, what is this woman up to
"Colin Angelet!" Emperor Reinhard sternly said, "Now I will give you one last chance to submit to me! Otherwise, you will die!"
Looking at Emperor Reinhardt who was staring at him covetously, Colin suddenly realized that he and Emperor Reinhardt were like two beasts being pushed into the arena.
The iron cage has been locked, and it is destined that only one of the two beasts can get out alive.
So this is your plan, Midella St. Hilde
Colin clenched his fists, his brain spinning rapidly.
Because he had a bad premonition for a long time, when he came to meet Emperor Reinhardt this time, the blood slave of the paladin was hiding in the dark.
Even if Emperor Reinhard wanted to kill him, Colin would still have a way to stop him, or even fight back...
But Ke Lin knew that he could not be impulsive, otherwise he would be fooled by Midella.
If you want to break the game, you must first stabilize Emperor Reinhardt!
"Your Majesty, please listen to me..."
Colin froze as soon as he opened his mouth.
Because, the Emperor Reinhard in front of him suddenly began to bleed from his seven orifices!
