Knock, knock, knock.
Colin opened the door and saw a guard of the House of Saint Hilde standing outside.
After seeing Colin, he immediately reported loudly, "Sir, the palace is under the control of the Silvermoon Guard. We are not allowed to leave."
Sure enough.
Colin was not surprised.
The House of Medea must be blocking the news now to give them enough time to deal with the situation.
When the guard saw that Colin did not speak, a bloodthirsty light appeared in his eyes. He growled, "Sir, why don't we fight our way out?"
"How many people do you have? Can you fight your way out of Silvermoon City? "
"We can give it a try. Even death will not stop us from moving forward! "
The loyalty and bravery of these guards amazed Colin, but he still shook his head.
"No, don't make unnecessary sacrifices. It is more useful for you to stay here. I will think of a way to pass the message. You just need to guard this place. "
"Yes."
"By the way, have the Knights Of Telde woken up yet?"
Just as the guard was about to shake his head, someone behind him reported, "Sir, the Knights Of Telde are here."
Colin nodded and motioned for the guard to leave.
"Sir Viscounts, what happened?" The Knights Of Telde rushed over. Their footsteps were a little weak, and their faces were very pale.
Colin gritted his teeth and asked, "Don't you remember what happened?"
"I … I only remember that there was a problem with the tea, and then I fainted." The Knights Of Telde lowered their heads in shame.
"Okay, then I will tell you what happened!" Colin's eyes turned red instantly, as if he was trying to suppress the anger in his heart. "Miss Vera was killed by a Tupe!"
"What?!" The Knights Of Telde suddenly raised their heads and looked at Colin in disbelief.
However, Colin's solemn and painful expression told him that all of this was true.
At this time, he finally reacted. No wonder the guards of the House of Saint Hilde had such expressions on their faces along the way.
No wonder the atmosphere in the palace was so heavy and tense.
No wonder the surrounding Silvermoon Guard soldiers were looking at him so warily.
"Vera … Miss … she … she …" At this moment, the Knights Of Telde felt as if the sky was falling down on them.
Colin carefully observed the expressions of the Knights Of Telde, trying to determine if their shock was real or fake.
Now, it seemed that this knight of the House of Saint Hilde was really scared silly.
Colin had speculated that the Knights Of Telde might be the Duke Of St. Hilde's backup assassins.
If Queen Aisha's assassination failed, this knight could serve as double insurance.
But now, it seemed that this was not the case.
In fact, it made sense when he thought about it. The Knights Of Telde would never become Vera's murderer.
This was because if Vera really died in the hands of the Knights Of Telde, Marquis García would definitely betray them immediately and lead the Black Cavalry to Coldwinter City.
Therefore, the Duke Of St. Hilde would definitely not be so unwise.
On the contrary, Queen Aisha was an excellent scapegoat.
The crazy Marquis García would immediately lead the Black Cavalry to Silvermoon City without the Duke Of St. Hilde's orders.
"Then I'll kill Tupe!" The Knights Of Telde roared.
"Tupe is already dead."
"Then I'll go and destroy the Miller family!"
Looking at the murderous knight in front of him, Colin suddenly had a headache. Don't you think before you brag?
"How are you going to kill him? I don't think we will be able to get out of the palace with so few of us. "
"Fight for the oath and die for honor. This is my creed as a knight!"
Colin had a headache and he had to change his way of persuading him.
"I know that you are not afraid of death, but you can't die in vain! What's more, how can the Miller family be enough? I want the House of Medea and all the half-elf nobles to be buried with Miss Vera!
So, you have to wait patiently for the moment when the Army of the North arrives! "
"So, are we not going to do anything now?"
"No, I want you to stay here and prevent the House of Medea from acting out of desperation. It doesn't matter if we die, but we must not let them taint Miss Vera's body! "
The Knights Of Telde finally calmed down and they seemed to agree with Colin's reasoning.
After sending the stubborn knight away, Colin walked back to his room.
After closing the door, he took a deep breath and found a beautiful girl standing in front of him. She was looking at him curiously.
"Colin, what are you doing?"
"Shh!" Colin quickly stepped forward and covered Vera's mouth. "Keep your voice down."
Vera was shocked by Colin's action but she did not move away.
Although she was confused, she still nodded obediently. She trusted Colin very much.
Colin let go of his hand and looked at Vera who was blushing. "What questions do you have? Ask me now."
"I have a lot of questions.
What happened in Queen Consort's bedroom?
Why was I in your room when I woke up?
Why are my clothes covered in blood?
And what happened to the coffin? "
"Don't worry, one by one." Colin held Vera's hand and led her to sit down at the round table.
Then, he told Vera about the 'confession' that he and Queen Aisha had made.
In short, he pushed all the blame to Tupe.
As for why Tupe wanted to kill Vera, perhaps he was just a lunatic.
Of course, this set of excuses was very unreasonable.
If Prince Tupé had not rushed out of the bedroom and chased after Queen Consort with a sword in front of everyone, perhaps no one would have believed it at all.
However, it was precisely because of that scene that this set of excuses was able to get away with.
Moreover, Tupe was now dead.
There was no proof.
"So, what I have to do now is to continue to pretend to be dead?" Vera obviously believed Colin's excuse.
"Yes. Before the Army of the North arrives at Silvermoon City, you have to pretend to be dead. "
"Okay." Vera nodded obediently. When she saw the blood all over her body, she suddenly felt a little wronged. "So, I can't change out of this set of clothes?"
"No." Colin said firmly. However, when he saw the girl's big watery eyes, he took a step back. "Of course, you can take a shower and change out of the underwear."
"Okay!" Vera was happy.
Then, she pointed at the coffin in the room and asked, "Is that coffin also prepared for me?"
"Yes."
"Am I going to sleep in that coffin tonight?" Vera asked with a little fear on her face.
Colin immediately waved his hand generously. "Of course not. You can sleep on the bed tonight and I will sleep in the coffin."
After saying that, Colin suddenly realized something.
A vampire sleeping in a coffin. What's going on? Why does it seem like a good match?
Maybe he could really try sleeping in a coffin. Maybe he would discover something new …
Just as Colin's imagination was running wild, Vera revealed a bashful expression. She lowered her head and spoke in a mosquito-like voice.
"Why do you want to sleep in a coffin? Can't you sleep in a bed?"
Colin's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly. "Okay! Then, let's sleep on the bed together! "
As for the idea of trying to sleep in a coffin to see if he could discover anything new, he had already forgotten about it.
How could a coffin have the fragrance of a beautiful girl?
"It is getting late. Why don't we go to bed early?"
"I have to take a shower first."
"Then, let's take a shower together."
"Bah!"
