After leaving the garden, Colin was still wondering why Queen Aisha had said those words to him.
He didn't notice a half-elf maid walking towards him.
The maid was holding a huge potted plant. Her line of sight was blocked, so she didn't notice Colin.
It was only when the two of them almost bumped into each other that Colin realized that there was someone in front of him. He quickly dodged, but the maid was so shocked that she screamed.
"Ah!"
"Sorry."
"No, no, no. Lord Viscounts, it's my fault!" The maid obviously recognized Colin. She quickly put down the potted plant and kept apologizing.
"It's fine." Colin waved his hand and was about to leave.
But after taking a few steps, he seemed to have thought of something. He turned back and called out to the maid, "Are you in charge of the garden?"
"Yes, Lord Viscounts."
"Are you the one who cultivated those Blood Roses?"
"No, I don't have that ability." The maid shook her head. "These Blood Roses are specially bought from outside."
"Then do you know where I bought those Blood Roses in the garden? I like those flowers, so I wanted to buy some for myself. "
"The Hyacinth Chamber of Commerce." The maid said a name that Colin was familiar with. "It's in the slave market in the west of the city. This chamber of commerce can cultivate the best Blood Roses in the entire Silvermoon City."
"Alright, thank you."
"You're too polite." The maid bowed. Seeing that Colin had no other orders, she left.
Colin looked at the maid's back as she left, and suddenly fell into deep thought.
This strange Queen Aisha was indeed related to the Hyacinth Chamber of Commerce.
But, was their relationship really only related to the Blood Roses?
Did Queen Aisha know Sith? Or even Prince Okamoto?
Could it be that Prince Okamoto was actually a supporter of the Second Prince's faction?
But why did the Giant Demon Empire extend their hands into the half-elf kingdom?
What benefits could they gain here?
Also, why would a half-elf like Sith rely on the Giant Demons?
…
A series of questions swirled in Colin's mind.
He suddenly felt that the situation in Silvermoon City was getting interesting.
Colin revealed an excited smile and turned to walk back to his residence.
However, even though he had so many questions, he was clear about one thing.
That was why he bumped into Prince William in front of the Hyacinth Chamber of Commerce.
It was likely that the House of Medea had discovered the secret connection between Queen Aisha and the Hyacinth Chamber of Commerce.
That was why they used the excuse of checking taxes to conduct a search.
Colin had already told Prince William about the secret relationship between the Hyacinth Chamber of Commerce and the trolls. Now, it was up to the prince to see if he could pry some useful information out of Sith.
With that in mind, Colin quickly returned to his residence.
Then, he noticed that there was a pretty, petite half-elf girl at his door.
"Knights Of Telde, who is this lady?" Colin asked curiously.
"Lord Viscounts, this is Cathy. She is a female slave that Prince William personally sent over just now. He said that she was a gift for you."
Colin finally remembered. He had thought that Prince William was just being polite. He did not expect that he would really send over a half-elf female slave.
This half-elf female slave was about 1.6 meters tall. She was thin and small, as if she could be blown away by a gust of wind.
However, she had a delicate and beautiful face. Especially her large, amber eyes and pointy ears, she looked very cute.
She was wearing a simple green dress. On her left ankle was a metal ring that symbolized her status as a slave. She exuded a mysterious and delicate aura that made people want to protect her.
Cathy saw that Colin was sizing her up. She blushed and took a step forward. She bowed and said, "Lord Viscounts, His Highness Prince William has asked me to follow you from now on."
The Knights Of Telde handed over a document at the right time. "My Lord, this is her slave contract. His Highness has already signed it. As long as you sign your name, this female slave will be yours."
Colin helplessly took the contract and said to Cathy, "Come in with me."
After entering the room, Colin had just sat down on a chair when Cathy immediately poured a cup of water and brought it to Colin. "My Lord, please have some water."
Colin looked at the fawning face of Cathy. He smiled and waved his hand. "You don't have to be so nervous."
Then he pointed to the seat opposite him and said, "Sit down."
Cathy sat down obediently, but her back was straight. It seemed that she was still a little nervous.
"How did you become a slave?" Colin looked at Cathy's appearance and knew that this girl's family background was not bad. She did not look like the child of a slave.
"My father used to be a merchant. Later he went bankrupt, so he sold me to pay off his debts." Speaking of the unbearable past, Cathy could not help but shed tears.
What a cliché story.
He did not know how much of it was true.
Colin looked at the pitiful Cathy and asked again. "Then how long have you been with Prince William?"
"I was just sold to Prince William today."
"Oh?" Colin raised his eyebrows. "Then which Chamber of Commerce did you work for before?"
"Hyacinth Chamber of Commerce."
As expected!
Colin immediately guessed that the simple-minded Prince William did not know the true background of the Hyacinth Chamber of Commerce.
And this half-elf female slave was perhaps a gift from Sith to please Prince William.
But he did not expect that Prince William would directly send her to Colin.
Oh? Wait!
A half-elf female slave that Sith gave to Prince William?
Colin rubbed his chin and suddenly laughed.
"Come here."
After hearing Colin's order, Cathy immediately stood up and walked in front of Colin.
"Come a little closer."
Cathy took another step forward.
Colin suddenly stood up as well, scaring Cathy.
The two of them were very close to each other. Colin deliberately moved closer, his face almost touching Cathy's face.
Cathy seemed to have realized something, and her pretty face instantly turned red.
Colin's masculine scent made her heart flutter and her mind completely blank.
At this moment, Colin suddenly asked, "What's your surname?"
"My surname is …" Cathy instantly sobered up. Her eyes widened and she quickly corrected herself. "Sir, I'm just a slave. I don't have a surname!"
"You didn't have a surname before you became a slave?"
Cathy shook her head. "Sir, I was just a commoner before."
Colin smiled coldly. He obviously did not believe her words.
Cathy's subconscious reaction just now had already betrayed her.
In this world, only nobles were allowed to have surnames. If Cathy was really a commoner, she definitely would not have used a sentence like "My surname is …".
Thinking about the collusion between Sith and Queen Aisha, Colin suddenly felt that this Cathy couldn't be a member of the Miller family, could she?
If that was really the case, then Duke Müller was too ruthless.
In order to place a spy by the enemy's side, he actually sold a member of his family as a slave.
Of course, Colin also thought of another possibility —
Cathy might not be related to the Miller family. She might be a spy for Sith, or one of the families behind Sith.
Actually, this was the real reason why Colin had chosen to trick Cathy in the beginning.
He had always felt that Sith did not seem like a commoner.
A half-elf commoner, even if he had the support of trolls, would not dare to interfere with the upper echelons of Silvermoon City.
It was a pity that this female slave was obviously not a knight. Colin could not turn her into a blood kin and pry open her mouth.
As for a blood slave, he could turn her into one, but she was a walking corpse with no thoughts of her own. Obviously, Colin would not be able to find out about her background.
"You may leave first."
"Yes." Cathy looked pitifully at Colin, then ran out like a frightened deer.
Colin looked at the other's back as he walked away. He suddenly felt that his plan could be improved a little.
Sith, Cathy, Queen Aisha …
This was really an interesting clue.
