Empress Mydella sank into the soft sofa with a smile on her delicate red lips. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and rested her chin on the other hand.
Her golden hair casually draped over her shoulders like the noon sun, and her slender snow-white calves swayed gently under her red dress. Her posture was languid, and her expression was charming.
Unfortunately, Colin was not in the mood to appreciate the beauty in front of him.
In fact, there was a strong sense of dissatisfaction rising in his heart.
It was obvious that Emperor Reinhardt was the one who caused this trouble, but he was constantly running around trying to win the support of all the big shots. On the other hand, the couple was pretending to be sick, and the other was showing off her beauty.
"Auntie, were you waiting for us?"
"Yes." Empress Mydella sat up straight and smiled. "Judging from your expressions, you must have heard about Consul Letom's death, right?"
Vera glanced at Colin and saw his gloomy face. She nodded and said, "Yes, we were just having dinner at Crete's house when we heard the news.
Auntie, why don't you look worried at all? "
"What is there to be worried about?" Empress Mydella laughed. "You are the one who is wasting your time on this matter.
Hey, didn't I tell you from the beginning? Just wait in Phoenix Palace. When the time is right, Vera will naturally inherit the position of the Dukes Of The North. "
"Auntie, Prince Lacy is going to start a war against Yeville. How can I just wait here like an idiot?"
"Then, you have been working hard for the past few days. Have you come up with any good results?"
Faced with Empress Mydella's rhetorical question, Vera was a little depressed. She lowered her head and did not speak.
At this time, Colin took over the conversation and asked in a deep voice, "Your Highness, did you already have a solution?"
Empress Mydella smiled charmingly but did not answer Colin's question. Instead, she said,
"Consul Letom's death is unclear, and at such a critical and sensitive time, the Senate will not let this matter rest. Some people will definitely pay the price for this! "
Colin looked at Empress Mydella's confident face and could not help but blurt out, "Are you so sure that the Senate will be able to catch the real murderer?"
"Of course!" Empress Mydella replied without hesitation.
Colin frowned. He was just about to say that with Prince Lacy's strength, how could there be any evidence of him killing an old consul?
But then he realized that this was all a trap!
For Empress Midella to be so confident, there was only one possibility — she was framing him!
Colin realized that he had been misled all this time. Indeed, Prince Lethom's death benefited Prince Lethom the most, so he naturally thought that it was Prince Lethom who killed him.
Moreover, Prince Lacy did have the ability to kill a consul without anyone noticing.
Empress Mydella's, Consul Letom's death, Prince Lacy's of Consul Consul, Consul Consul Letom.
It could also be a trap set up by the Empress, no, by Emperor Reinhardt's faction.
Colin Mydella did not know what they did to Consul Letom's body to make Prince Lacy unable to clear his name.
But looking at Empress Mydella's expression, they must have enough confidence to make Prince Lacy unable to defend himself.
As long as Prince Lacy carried the crime of killing a consul, he would become the public enemy of the nobles.
Even if no one dared to use such a crime to execute a paladin, Prince Lacy would be completely isolated and would lose his appeal. He would probably become a wandering knight from then on.
This way, the proposal to declare war on the mages would naturally die prematurely.
Moreover, the Emperor had used this incident to remove the biggest obstacle to his control of the Empire. From now on, Imperial Dragon City would truly be under Emperor Reinhardt's absolute control.
Looking at Colin's constantly changing expression, Empress Mydella seemed to have seen through his thoughts.
She quietly got up and walked in front of Colin and said lightly: "Now you should understand why I reminded you not to mess around at the welcome banquet, right?"
At this time, the charming smile on Empress Mydella's face had disappeared and was replaced by an inviolable dignity, showing the authority that an Empress of the Empire should have.
Of course, Colin Mydella understood.
It turned out that this proposal to declare war was a trap from the beginning to the end. It was just to fabricate a motive for Prince Lacy to kill!
As for whether the proposal would be passed or not, Empress Mydella did not care from the beginning.
It was ridiculous that Colin and Vera had been kept in the dark and thought that they were smart enough to run around.
What was even more ridiculous was that Colin Mydella had almost succeeded. With the support of the elders of the Western Region and Letom's delay, Vera could have remotely pressured the elders of the Northern Frontier through Marquis García Mydella to disregard the request of Governor Sebas and vote against the proposal.
Who would have thought that at the last moment, it would be his ally who would have completely strangled Colin Mydella's plan in the bud?
No, it was not an ally.
Colin Mydella had thought that he was an ally of the Emperor and Empress, but he did not expect that they would not even take him seriously.
"Just wait patiently." "Don't mess around."
Colin Mydella and Vera Mydella's efforts over the past few days were just a joke in the eyes of the Emperor and Empress. Even if they were about to achieve their goal, their goal was not the Emperor and Empress' goal. Their efforts could also be erased by the Emperor and Empress at will.
Empress Mydella looked at Colin expressionlessly and said coldly: "Perhaps we had some misunderstandings in Silverymoon City before, and because of that, you lack the necessary trust in me.
But I don't want this to happen again, otherwise … "
Empress Mydella did not continue, but her cold eyes had already expressed her meaning very clearly.
When Vera Mydella saw this, she quickly stepped forward and persuaded: "Auntie, this time we also want to help. It's not that we don't trust you."
Colin Mydella suppressed the anger in his heart and bowed his head respectfully: "Your Highness, I know that I was reckless this time and I almost ruined your plan. I sincerely apologize to you.
As for the misunderstanding in Silverymoon City that you mentioned, I assure you that there is no such thing at all!
I only have infinite respect and trust for you! "
"That's the best." Empress Mydella's charming smile finally appeared on her face again. "Colin, you are a smart and capable person. With you assisting Vera in guarding the Northern Frontier, His Majesty and I can rest assured.
So, don't do anything stupid again. Otherwise, Vera is not the only one who can become the ruler of the Northern Frontier! "
This sentence was very serious.
Colin Mydella and Vera Mydella could only bow their heads obediently and endure.
At this moment, the authority of the Empress of the Empire was fully displayed.
"Alright, you two should rest early. There is still a good show to watch tomorrow. "
After Empress Mydella finished speaking, she lightly swayed her willowy waist and gracefully walked out.
Vera Mydella suddenly thought of something and suddenly called out from behind: "Auntie, on the way back, we met the president of the Mage Council, Ernest. He said that he wants to meet His Majesty!"
However, Empress Mydella did not even turn her head and coldly said: "Haha, he is just an idiot who is immersed in arcane research and has become stupid. How dare he want to meet His Majesty …"
Before she finished speaking, her beautiful figure had already disappeared into the night.
"Colin, it seems that Auntie is really angry." Vera Mydella whispered as she held Colin's hand a little nervously.
"Don't worry, we did not cause any trouble. Your Auntie was just scolding us verbally." Colin Mydella smiled and comforted her.
Vera Mydella nodded and said: "Then we should ask for Auntie's opinion first before we do anything in the future. Don't question her decisions anymore."
"Okay." Colin Mydella smiled and agreed, quietly hiding the dangerous light in his eyes.
How could he tolerate Empress Mydella's contempt?
In particular, when Mydella said that "Vera is not the only one who can become the ruler of the Northern Frontier", Colin Mydella realized that all Empress Mydella wanted was an obedient Northern Frontier. As for who the ruler of the Northern Frontier was, she probably did not care.
If Vera could do it, then so could Joyce.
This made Colin Mydella feel a deep sense of crisis.
