"Vera, Vera? Are you okay? "
Colin looked at the girl in front of him with a worried face and asked gently.
He had just confessed everything to Vera, including the fact that Marquis García was her biological father, the conflict between her adoptive father and her biological father, the reason why the Duke Of St. Hilde married her off to the Half-Elf Kingdom, and the possible conspiracy behind it …
Because Marquis García was captured in the Shadow Canyon and the time to return to the Northern Frontier was just around the corner, Colin could no longer hide these things.
He did not want Vera to return to Coldwinter City in a daze and return to the side of her adoptive father who harbored evil intentions towards her.
As for the ban on Marquis García … he could only say that it was an emergency. He believed that even if he knew about it in the future, he would understand Colin's difficulties.
However, such a cruel and ugly reality was still somewhat difficult for Vera to accept.
At this time, she was staring at the ground in a daze. Her eyes were completely out of focus and her body was motionless, as if she had become a sculpture.
Colin sighed, held the girl's cold hands, and spoke again.
"I have already sent an envoy to the Eastern Region to discuss the matter of Marquis García's redemption with Marquis Vincent. When your biological father returns safely, if you still have any questions, you can ask him personally."
Vera still did not speak, and she seemed to be in a daze.
Knock knock.
Hearing the knocking sound, Colin asked impatiently: "What is it?"
"Lord Viscounts, Miss Vera, His Majesty's coronation ceremony is about to begin."
"Okay, we will be there soon."
Colin pinched Vera's chin, turned her gaze to him, and said: "I know these things are hard to accept at the moment, but now is not the time to grieve.
The Northern Frontier is about to face a storm, and I must return as soon as possible.
And you should return to Icestone City with me … "
"No." Vera finally opened her mouth. Her voice had become extremely hoarse.
"No?" Colin frowned. "Do you want to return to Winter Castle?"
Vera shook her head again. "I don't want to go back to the Northern Frontier now. At the very least, I don't want to go back to the Northern Frontier until I see my biological father and ask him the whole story. "
Colin wanted to persuade Vera to stay in Silvermoon City, but on second thought, he felt that it was not a bad idea to let Vera stay in Silvermoon City. "Alright then. Why don't you stay in Silvermoon City? Queen Aisha will take good care of you.
Furthermore, when we exchange prisoners in the future, the location will most likely be between the two territories. You can wait for Marquis García in Silvermoon City. "
Vera nodded her head and accepted the arrangement.
Colin heaved a sigh of relief and prepared to attend the Queen's coronation.
However, as soon as he got up, he realized that Vera was hugging him from behind. "I'm sorry, Colin. I need some time …"
Colin slowly turned around and hugged the girl tightly in his arms. He comforted her. "It's okay. I understand."
"Thank you …" Vera gently pushed Colin away. "You should go to the coronation ceremony. Don't be late."
"Are you really not going?"
"No. Please apologize to Her Majesty for me."
"Okay."
Colin held the girl's face and kissed her gently. He then turned around and left.
…
"Aisha Miller, today, in the name of the holy ancestors of the San Lorenzo family, I crown you.
May the supreme God of Light bless you so that you will not be violated in the future.
May the God of Light guide you on the way forward and sweep away all obstacles in your way …
You should take pity on your people and ensure their livelihood.
You should respect your vassals and give them glory.
You should protect the reputation of the half-elven kingdom so that it will not be covered in dust …
Please remember that you are the Lord of Silvermoon City, the King of the half-elves, and a loyal vassal of the San Lorenzo family. May you live up to the expectations of the half-elves, the trust of His Majesty the Emperor, and the glory of the God of Light … "
Half Elven Palace, inside the Palace Hall.
Prince Harrison was wearing a golden robe and holding the half-elven crown in his hand. He had a solemn expression as he recited a lengthy prayer.
His face was very pale, and he looked a little dispirited. It seemed that he had not been resting well recently.
When Colin saw this scene, he could not help but feel a sense of satisfaction.
He knew that he had successfully planted a seed of hatred in Prince Harrison's young heart. It was just waiting for the day when it would blossom and bear fruit and give the San Lorenzo family a surprise.
As he thought of this, Colin could not help but look at Queen Mydella, who was standing next to Harrison.
This beautiful queen, whose facial features were quite similar to Vera, was actually looking at Colin at this moment.
When their eyes met, Colin immediately put on a perfect smile and nodded at the other party.
Empress Mydella smiled as well. Her large, watery eyes stared unblinkingly at Colin, as if to say — —
Young man, you have successfully attracted my attention.
At this moment, Harrison finally placed the half-elven crown on Aisha's head.
When the crowned half-elven queen stood up and faced the crowd, all the half-elven nobles present drew their swords and knelt on one knee, swearing:
"My Queen, I swear to be loyal to you from today until eternity!"
Queen Aisha lifted the hem of her dress and returned the bow to her vassals.
Then the queen personally conferred the title of four knights, who were respectively her sword-bearer, bow-bearer, shield-bearer, and horse-bearer.
Without exception, these knights were all members of the Miller family. From now on, they would accompany Queen Aisha and become her guardian knights.
At this point, the coronation ceremony was officially over.
Queen Aisha, wearing the half-elven crown on her head, left the hall surrounded by the crowd.
She would host a banquet in the banquet hall to entertain the San Lorenzo royal family and the nobles who came to watch the ceremony.
…
The sky was getting dark, and the lanterns were lit.
On the floor of the banquet hall, which was paved with red paulownia wood, there were three long square tables filled with all kinds of delicious wine and food.
Cream salmon pie, honey pine nut cake, smoked salmon salad … and the royal family's collection of champagne.
Half-elven maids in colorful clothes stood like statues beside the long tables, ready to serve the guests who came to eat at any time. Unfortunately, there were not many guests who came to patronize, and even if they did, it was just a taste.
When Colin walked into the hall alone, the banquet had not officially begun.
He went straight to the long table, ignored the delicious food on the table, and went straight to his target — the deer blood wine!
According to common sense, deer blood wine would not be served on the table in such a formal occasion, but obviously, this bottle of deer blood wine was specially prepared by Queen Aisha.
At this time, a mature and lazy voice suddenly sounded, "Sir Viscounts, do you want some lemon?"
Colin turned around and saw the main character of today's banquet, Queen Aisha standing behind him.
She wore a fiery red gauze dress and wore a half-elven crown on her golden hair. The bright smile on her face seemed to make the crystal magic lamps dim.
"Okay." Colin smiled, understanding that the queen wanted to help him cover his scent, so he accepted her kindness.
"Oh right, Vera is not willing to return to Icestone City with me. She wants to stay in Silvermoon City and wait for Marquis García, so I hope you can help me look after her."
"No problem, it would be my pleasure."
"Okay, remember, do not let her return to Chilly Winter City, even if the Duke Of St. Hilde sends people to rush her!"
"I understand."
At this time, there was a commotion at the entrance of the hall.
Colin looked up and saw Queen Mydella walking in with Prince Harrison.
Perhaps it was a coincidence, but Queen Mydella also wore a fiery red dress, revealing her slender arms and a large part of her smooth back. As she walked, her slender waist swayed gracefully, attracting the attention of all the nobles and gentlemen.
Queen Aisha hurried forward to welcome them.
Melodious music sounded, and the banquet officially began.
