Colin held Empress Mydella's slender waist as they danced on the ornate carpet, accompanied by a melodious melody.
In the framework of the court dance, the man and woman dancing together looked like they were hugging each other, but in reality, that was just an illusion. Apart from their arms, there was no other body contact between the two.
Only lovers or husband and wife would have their abdomens pressed together intimately.
Colin naturally wouldn't be rude to Empress Mydella, but he didn't expect the Empress to take the initiative.
Feeling the softness and warmth on his lower abdomen, Colin's mind remained calm.
"Judy has been learning to dance since she was young, but she has a bad habit of stepping on people's feet. It's not aimed at you, I hope you don't take it to heart." Empress Mydella whispered into his ear.
Her languid tone and moist breath constantly stirred Colin's heart.
"It's an honor to be stepped on by a beautiful lady," Colin replied with a smile.
At the same time, he remembered that Empress Mydella had also stepped on him at the ball in Silverymoon.
Hmm, it seems that like mother, like daughter.
Perhaps she thought of the same thing, but Empress Mydella's beautiful face flushed red.
Colin led Empress Mydella around in a quick circle, her purple dress blooming like a flower, the seductive scenery flashing past.
"I heard His Majesty is sick?"
Colin suddenly spoke, waking Empress Medella who was intoxicated by the melodious dance music.
The Empress rolled her eyes and glanced at Colin. She smiled and said, "Where did you hear the news?"
Colin didn't speak. He wasn't going to expose a little girl.
But seeing Empress Mydella's reaction, this news should be true.
No wonder Emperor Reinhardt hadn't appeared.
Seeing that Colin wasn't willing to reveal the source of the news, Empress Mydella didn't pursue the matter. She nodded and said, "Yes, His Majesty is indeed sick, but you don't need to worry. He should be fine soon.
Also, I hope you don't spread this news. After all, it's easy to cause unnecessary panic. "
"I understand." Colin nodded and then asked, "Your Majesty, what do you think about the successor of the Dukes Of The North?"
Empress Mydella's expression turned solemn as she spoke softly.
"Don't worry. Both His Majesty and I want to see Vera inherit the position of the Dukes Of The North. Moreover, you also have the will of the previous Dukes Of The North in your hands. So, you can relax and wait for a while. When the time is right, I will naturally arrange for you to meet His Majesty."
Not only did Queen Mydella's comforting words not ease Colin's mind, but they also made him realize that something was wrong with the current situation in the capital.
Moreover, Colin also noticed that the empress had said "wait for the right time" instead of "wait for His Majesty to recover from his illness". This made him wonder if it was not because His Majesty was seriously ill that he could not meet any guests at this time. Instead, it was because the timing was not right for him to meet Vera.
"Your Highness, of course I am willing to listen to your arrangements." Although his heart was full of doubts, Colin certainly did not question the empress's decision on the surface.
After all, they were not in Winter City now. They were in Imperial Dragon City. The House of Saint Hilde did not have much power here. Vera's aunt, Queen Mydella, was definitely one of the most important people.
Of course, Colin did not completely trust the beautiful empress.
She was indeed Vera's aunt, but she was also Joisse's aunt.
Colin had no way of knowing which side her heart was leaning towards.
Seeing that Colin was so obedient, the smile on Queen Mydella's face became brighter and brighter.
"By the way, there is one more thing that you need to pay attention to."
"Please tell us."
"Don't trust Sebas Saint Hilde!"
"Huh?" Colin's heart skipped a beat and he almost missed the beat. Fortunately, he quickly adjusted himself.
Sebas Saint Hilde was Vera's uncle. He was also one of the Senators of the Empire.
There were a total of five Senators in the Empire's Senate, and each of them was an elder from one of the five major Paladin families.
The five Senators would take turns as the chairman of the Senate every month. They were responsible for presiding over the Senate's meetings that month.
Therefore, Sebas was also an important person in the House of Saint Hilde in Imperial Dragon City.
Originally, Colin and Vera had planned to visit Sebas the next day. However, they did not expect Queen Mydella to remind them not to trust him.
What was going on?
In terms of seniority, Sebas was Mydella's uncle.
Was there a family feud going on?
Colin was speechless for a while. He quickly asked, "Your Highness, why is that so?"
But Empress Mydella remained silent.
When Colin saw this, he did not continue to ask.
At the end of the song, Colin let go of Queen Mydella's hand and slender waist and bowed to her.
Empress Mydella smiled and curtsied back, saying softly, "Trust me, the current Imperial Dragon City is a dangerous whirlpool. The best choice for you and Vera is to stay out of it. If you rashly get involved, it will only be difficult to get out."
Colin narrowed his eyes and said, "Your Highness …"
Queen Mydella interrupted him and said, "Don't ask too much. Don't think too much. Wait patiently for my news."
After saying this sentence, Queen Mydella swayed her waist and left.
Colin was left standing there in a daze.
"Colin, what's wrong with you?" Vera asked as she walked over and held her husband's arm.
"I will tell you more when we get back," Colin patted Vera's hand and said. However, he saw a familiar figure walking towards him.
"I didn't expect to see you again so soon, Viscount Angley!" The Earl Of Avon walked over to Colin with a smile. He then greeted Vera and introduced his female companion to Colin and his wife.
"This is Miss Shaliya, Prince Lexi's first daughter, and also my fiancée."
Colin raised his eyebrows and turned to look at the Earl Of Avon's female companion.
Miss Shalia was wearing a beige dress. She had delicate facial features, black hair, black eyes, and a gentle temperament. She was the kind of woman who could arouse the sympathy of men.
However, what really caught Colin's attention was her identity. She was the daughter of a Paladin!
Moreover, Colin remembered that the Marquis of the Eastern Region that he had just released was the elder brother of the Earl Of Avon. He was married to the daughter of one of the Eastern Region's Earls.
It seemed that the Duke of Saint Prospero really wanted to change his heir.
Colin suddenly thought of the words that he had said to Marquis Vincent at the Nu Shui River. He suddenly felt that the Eastern Region would definitely be very lively in the future.
Just as Colin was thinking about it, the Earl Of Avon suddenly sent an invitation to Vera: "Beautiful Miss Vera, I wonder if I would have the honor to dance with you?"
Vera turned to look at Colin and saw him nodding with a smile. She then handed her hand to the Earl Of Avon.
Seeing the two of them walking hand in hand to the dance floor, Shalia blinked her big eyes as if to say to Colin – what are you waiting for?
Colin also realized what he should do and quickly invited Shalia to dance with him.
After getting the other party's consent, Colin held the delicate hand of the Paladin's daughter and once again walked to the center of the dance floor.
"Did you and the Earl Of Avon just get engaged?" Colin asked curiously as he hugged Shalia's waist.
"Yes, just a week ago," Shalia whispered, and then no longer said anything. Instead, she concentrated on the dance.
Generally speaking, the man of the court dance was the guide and the woman of the court dance was the follower. However, Colin found that Shalia seemed to have a strange magical power that could influence Colin's dance steps. She even guided the elegance of the court dance to the extreme. It was very pleasing to the eye.
Even though Colin was not proficient in court dance, he seemed to have become a dance master at this moment.
Colin could not help but be intoxicated by this feeling. For a moment, he even forgot to continue to inquire about the Earl Of Avon's purpose in coming to Imperial Dragon City at this time.
Even after the song ended, Colin still felt a little unsatisfied.
Thunderous applause immediately sounded, and Colin finally regained his senses.
"You're the best dancer I've ever seen!" Colin complimented sincerely.
"Thank you!" Shalia's face was flushed red, and it seemed that she had not recovered from the dance just now.
"Wow! Viscount Angley! I am a little jealous of you. Even when Shalia and I danced together, we did not have such a tacit understanding! "The Earl Of Avon exclaimed exaggeratedly as he brought Vera back to the side of the dance floor.
Vera was also excitedly praising Colin, and at the same time, she did not forget to ask Shalia about the secret of dancing.
Colin casually said a few words of modesty before he asked the Earl Of Avon, "Have you and Miss Shalia set a date for your wedding?"
"It will be held at the end of this year. I will send out invitations at that time. I hope that you and Miss Vera will be able to attend."
"Okay. If there are no special circumstances, we will definitely go to the White Dew City to attend the wedding, "Colin replied with a smile.
After that, Colin and Vera did not enter the dance floor again. Instead, they chatted casually with the Earl Of Avon and his wife on the side of the dance floor.
It was not until late into the night that the guests left one after another.
