Chapter 138： Banquet

"Colin, can't I attend tonight's banquet?"

Vera asked while helping the man straighten his collar.

At this time, Colin had changed into a standard black noble tuxedo. He hugged Vera and gently kissed her soft red lips:

"Yes, now you are a ‘seriously injured’, of course you can’t attend the banquet."

"Okay." Vera squashed her mouth, seemingly aggrieved, but then she wondered again, "But I have appeared in front of half-elf nobles many times before. They must know that I am not badly injured?"

"Fool, sometimes lying is not to make the other person believe."

"What else is it for?"

"In order to give each other a tacit step down."

The doubt in Vera's eyes did not diminish.

Colin smiled and rubbed the girl's hair: "The East Realm knows that we are lying, and we also know that the East Realm knows that we are lying, but as long as Silvermoon City is still in our hands, they can only take our lie as a fact. "

Vera understood this time, and she was a little worried: "Then what if the Eastern Army captures Silvermoon City?"

"In that case, no matter what lie they tell, it will become a fact." Colin said lightly, and then his tone became firm again, "but with me, they don't want to capture Silvermoon City!"

"Well, I believe you."

...

As night fell, the half-elf palace became lively again.

Although they have just experienced a tragic military coup, the enthusiasm of the half-elf nobles for the banquet has not diminished in the slightest.

Tonight, Queen Aisha is wearing a purple rose-patterned evening dress, revealing her smooth and white back. She is very tall, and she has a pair of silver high heels on her feet. The whole person is like an arrogant white swan, making all the men present feel ashamed and afraid to stand beside her.

The glamorous Queen Aisha first raised her glass and said loudly: "Everyone, please allow me to introduce a distinguished guest from the eastern border of the Glorious Empire-Viscount Auston!"

Warm applause immediately followed.

Viscount Alston looked around, gracefully and calmly leaning over in return.

Afterwards, the Eastern Viscount also picked up a glass of champagne and said loudly:

"This time, on behalf of the Marquis of Vincent, I came to your place for the peace of Silvermoon City, and also for the friendship between the East and the half-elf kingdom, and of course, to see Her Majesty Queen Aisha!

Please let us toast together, wish peace and friendship last forever, and wish Her Majesty the young forever! "

"May the friendship last forever!"

"I wish your majesty stay young forever!"

...

The atmosphere of the banquet gradually became warmer.

Queen Aisha led Colin to the front of Viscount Alston and introduced with a smile: "Your Excellency Viscount Alston, please allow me to introduce, this is the Lord Angley from the North.

Both of them are viscounts of the empire, and they must have many common languages. "

Viscount Alston smiled and stretched out his hand to Colin: "Of course, to Viscount Anglia, I have already admired the name for a long time!"

Colin smiled and shook hands with the other party, and said, "Oh? I don't know what kind of reputation you hear?"

"Of course it is a good reputation. It is said that you and the Marquis Garcia fought the ice field together and defeated an army of 300,000 trolls!"

"Hehe, that's all the credit of the Marquis Garcia, I just joined in the fun at the right time."

"You are too modest." Viscount Alston's smile suddenly became a little ambiguous, "In addition, I also heard that you have a very close relationship with Miss Vera!"

"Miss Vera is indeed the object of my admiration." Colin nodded and admitted, after all, he had proposed marriage before, and it would be boring to deny it.

"I wonder if Miss Vera was severely injured this time?"

"It's really serious. Although there is no life worry, it also requires a long period of bed rest."

"Hey! I heard that Miss Vera was injured when she was assassinated. I don't know who was so bold?" The anger on Viscount Alston's face was just as true.

"It's Prince Tupe."

"Prince Tupai?" Viscount Alston looked astonished. "Isn't that Miss Vera's fiancé?"

"Yes."

"Then why..."

"Because he learned that I was Vera's first man."

"..." Facing Colin's frankness, Viscount Alston didn't know what to say for a while.

Before coming, of course he had heard Earl Evan tell about what happened in Silvermoon City.

I also know that the cause of everything actually originated from the physical examination that took place in the queen's palace.

However, like everyone else, Viscount Alston also felt that Prince Tupe's sudden violent murder was too weird.

Now, hearing Colin personally confess his underground love affair with Vera, the doubts in his heart grew thicker.

"Viscount Angley, with all due respect, I actually find it hard to believe that Prince Tupei got into the murder after learning of the affair between you and Vera. This reason... is too far-fetched."

Colin smiled, and suddenly lowered his voice: "Then you want to know the real reason for Tupe's murder?"

"What is it?" Viscount Alston leaned forward involuntarily and asked in a low voice.

"That's because..." Colin leaned in the ear of Viscount Alston, "Tupe, he got the instruction from the Duke of St. Hild to let Vera die in the half-elf palace!"

"This... how is this possible..." Viscount Alston widened his eyes, with a look of disbelief.

But looking at Colin's solemn expression and the eyes that Queen Aisha agrees with, Viscount Auston sank and pondered it carefully.

Suddenly I realized that this might actually be true.

"So, the Duke of St. Hilde is trying to get an excuse to enter the half-elf kingdom..."

"Yes." Colin said with a deep pain, "I really don't want to see Miss Vera die away, so I desperately saved her."

"So..." Viscount Alston felt that the whole thing could be explained.

But then he was puzzled again-why did Colin tell him this?

It seems that I can see Viscount Alston’s doubts Colin spoke again: "Your Excellency, I tell you this, I actually hope you can understand that I am now violating the Duke of St. Hild. Will, rescued Miss Vera.

And the Black Cavalry... also unfortunately destroyed in Shadow Canyon.

Therefore, the plan of the Duke of St. Hilde to plot the half-elf kingdom basically failed.

I worry……"

"Are you worried that the Duke of St. Hild will anger you?" Viscount Alston felt that he finally understood Colin's plan.

"Yes." Colin nodded repeatedly.

After hesitating for a moment, he whispered again: "I wonder if you can ask you to bring me a word to Marquis Vincent?"

"Please speak."

Colin gritted his teeth, as if finally made up his mind:

"I want to be loyal to the Saint-Pros family!"
