The night is dark.

Colin was walking alone in the manor, the cold night wind blowing on his face, making his mind clearer than ever before.

In order to celebrate the successful reconciliation between the Church and the North, and to celebrate that the Allied Forces of the Radiant Empire will officially send troops to the West, the banquet in the manor is still going on.

It's a pity that Colin didn't have the heart to celebrate.

This time, the originally perfect opportunity to weaken the church has turned into the current situation. The northern border has spent so much effort, but it can be said that it has achieved almost nothing.

Colin thought to himself that although this failure was due to Emperor Reinhardt's stupid backstab, it was also because he was not careful enough.

The secret of Vera's awakening should not be known to Queen Midella at all.

Although this woman is also surnamed Saint Hilde, her mind is elusive, and she does not necessarily stand on the side of the North.

In addition, Colin also understands that his current power is not strong enough. If he can completely control the North, and even the East, at this meeting, even if Emperor Reinhardt helps the church, Colin has strong confidence.

However, Colin was not discouraged.

Although he is not strong enough, he has great potential.

In the next orc war, he must plan carefully, how to get the most benefits...

While thinking about it, Colin found that he had unknowingly come to the ancient oak tree in the middle of the manor.

It seems that there is a mysterious call to him here, making him subconsciously want to get closer.

It's just that with the lesson from last night, Ke Lin didn't dare to show the real body of the blood clan this time.

The moonlight is faint, reflecting on this ancient oak tree that covers the sky, and transmits a holy shimmer.

A chipmunk passed by Colin's feet, climbed nimbly up the trunk, and scurried to the top of the tree again.

But the next moment, it was caught by a slender jade hand.

Colin raised his brows, only to realize that there was another person sitting on the top of the tree—Queen Midella.

She was wearing a pure white palace dress, with a wreath woven at an unknown time on her head, and a pair of white jade feet without shoes, swaying back and forth on the tree.

"Count Angele, why did you run away?"

A breeze blew, and Queen Midella's golden hair danced with it, like a fairy in the forest.

Ke Lin stood under the tree, from an angle where he could clearly see some beautiful scenery under the waving skirt, and said:

"Good evening, Her Royal Highness. I just came out to breathe."

"Then you have to take it easy and don't make any noise from last night." Queen Midella held the chipmunk in her arms and groomed its hair gently.

Colin nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay, Your Highness. I won't disturb you."

After saying that, Colin turned around and left without hesitation.

Seeing that Colin really seemed to be ready to leave, Queen Midella hurriedly said, "Count Angele, please wait a moment."

Colin then turned around, smiled politely, and asked, "His Royal Highness, what other orders do you have?"

Queen Midella glanced at Ke Lin resentfully, and said, "Last night I called her Midella, but now it's Her Royal Highness that opens her mouth and closes her mouth."

Ke Lin snorted slightly and said coldly, "Your Highness, if you have no other orders, I will retire first..."

Before she finished speaking, Queen Midella had already landed in the air, came to Ke Lin, and said:

"The news of Vera's awakening was indeed revealed to Reinhardt by me, but I really didn't expect him to sell this news to the church."

For Queen Midella's explanation, Colin nodded expressionlessly, but said nothing.

Queen Midella stretched out her hand and pressed it on Colin's chest, but Colin stepped back and avoided it.

"Your Highness, someone may pass by at any time, please respect yourself."

Queen Midella immediately put on a pitiful look and said, "Kolin, are you really unwilling to forgive me?"

Colin rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, Midella, this method is useless to me, don't waste your energy."

After hearing this, Queen Midella smiled slightly, regaining her original graceful and elegant posture, and said softly:

"Okay, Colin, then let's be frank about whether you are interested in my proposal last night."

Colin's eyes flashed fiercely and said, "I'm interested, but unfortunately, I won't cooperate with you. Because, I don't trust you."

Queen Midella was refreshed and said, "Then how can you trust me?"

Ke Lin looked at the flawless pretty face of the other party and said solemnly, "Tell me your true purpose."

"Real purpose?" Queen Midella frowned and said suspiciously, "I don't understand what you mean."

Colin took a step forward and narrowed the distance between the two.

The rich aroma drilled straight into Colin's nose, but it couldn't shake his will.

"Midella, you obviously don't love Reinhardt, why did you marry him in the first place?"

"Because he is the emperor." Queen Midella said calmly.

Colin shook his head and continued: "No, he was just a puppet emperor at that time. I thought you were just trying to gain more power.

But after thinking about it, I'm afraid it's not just that.

A puppet emperor, you have worked hard to keep him in power, even cooperating with the mortal enemy of the family, Mr. Ho, and offending a paladin who is at his peak.

This is no longer just for the sake of power to explain.

Moreover, you also used the means of exchange of handles to spread shadows in the empire, and I used to be one of them.

Now you find that Emperor Reinhardt is showing signs of being out of your control, and you want to kill him!

So, what are you plotting?

What kind of purpose drives you to give up being a stable and noble queen of the empire and keep trying to grab more power? "

Queen Midella smiled lightly and said, "How could you ask such a ridiculous question? Isn't it my purpose to gain more power?"

"No." Colin shook his head firmly, "I originally thought so, but now I feel that your request is not simple.

So ~lightnovelpub.net~ If you want to work with me, you have to be honest with me first! "

Queen Midella seemed a little helpless, shook her head and said, "Kolin, you really think too much. What other purpose can I have?"

Colin twitched the corner of his mouth and turned to leave.

Obviously, he didn't want to waste his time with this queen who was full of lies.

"Colin, Colin... Count Angele! Colin Angele!"

No matter how the queen shouted, Colin's footsteps did not stop at all.

Queen Midella looked at Colin's retreating back with a deep gaze, and the expression on her face suddenly became extraordinarily complicated.

"Squeak...squeak..."

The chipmunk suddenly found that the jade hand holding him had become like an iron hoop, and was constantly tightening.

It struggled hard and kept screaming in despair, but it was still crushed into a mass of minced meat.
