Colin pushed open the mahogany door that separated the bedroom from the living room and saw a beautiful figure sitting in front of the dressing table.
Her blonde hair was tied up in a loose and casual style, and the silver mirror on the dressing table reflected her delicate face. Coupled with the purple silk nightgown, it highlighted a hazy and lazy charm, making people yearn for the moment when she turned around.
"Are you done chatting?"
Vera turned around with a charming and sweet smile on her face, and her blue crystal eyes were full of tenderness.
For a moment, the whole bedroom seemed to be lit up.
"Yes." Colin walked in while unbuttoning the collar of his suit. "Every time I chat with the marquis, I benefit a lot."
"What were you talking about?"
"About loyalty and belief."
Vera tilted her head and the smile on her face disappeared.
When Colin saw this, he thought that she had misunderstood. So, he explained, "It's not what you think. The marquis is just sharing his own beliefs and his understanding of loyalty with me. He hopes that I can be inspired and find my own beliefs."
Vera's expression eased a little, but she still looked at Colin seriously and said, "In fact, I have always felt that my father's life is too tiring."
Colin took off his coat and sat on the edge of the bed. He looked at his wife's shining eyes and said with a smile, "So, you don't agree with Marquis García's lifelong beliefs?"
Vera shook her head and frowned slightly before she said, "My father carries too much on his shoulders, and so does my adoptive father. I know that they are very good people, and in a sense, they can even be called great people, but I don't want you to become like them. "
Looking at Vera's gentle eyes, Colin's heart was filled with warmth, and he smiled from the bottom of his heart.
"Don't worry, I will not become like them. I have my own principles, and I also have my own cherished things, and these are everything that is worth protecting. "
To be honest, although Colin admired Marquis García's dedication, he did not think that he could be as noble as him.
Moreover, he also felt that both Marquis García and the former Duke Of St. Hilde were too extreme.
He hoped that he would be able to live freely in this life and not be influenced by any power or noble goals.
Of course, it might seem easy to achieve this, but it was actually extremely difficult.
Without sufficient strength, with Colin's current status and power, it would be impossible for him to live a peaceful life.
Therefore, in order to achieve this goal, Colin had to control more forces and obtain more power!
Vera smiled sweetly, got up gracefully, and walked towards Colin with graceful steps. The slit on both sides of her nightgown revealed a pair of flawless legs, slender and straight, white and tender.
She walked in front of Colin and held his shoulder. She bent her right leg and knelt on the edge of the bed. She bent her beautiful neck and bent her beautiful face. There was a faint smile at the corner of her mouth and her eyes were shining with passion.
"Then, am I also someone who is worthy of your protection?"
"As my wife, of course you are!" Colin said affirmatively as he held Vera's slender waist and felt the warmth and softness in his hands.
Vera's eyes became misty and she licked her delicate red lips gently. Her charming appearance made Colin's heart burn with passion. He exerted a little force and pulled the girl onto the big bed.
…
The soft morning sun shone through the crystal skylight at the top of the knight's hall and formed a pure beam of light.
The colorful glass reflected the mottled light and shadows. The statues of the fourteen Paladins of the House of Saint Hilde stood on both sides of the hall, as if they were looking at the figures in the hall through the barrier of time.
Colin was wearing the Viscounts' suit as he walked into the beam of light. He knelt down on one knee in front of the steps and at the same time, raised the Blade of Judgement high above his head.
In front of him, Vera, who was also dressed up, took the Blade of Judgement with a solemn expression on her face. She then placed the blade of the Blade of Judgement on Colin's shoulder and said in a clear voice:
"I, Vera Saint Hilde, in the name of the Dukes Of The North, confer on Colin Angelo the title of Count of the Empire of Light. From today onwards, the Angele family will be the hereditary Count of the Empire of Light."
Colin clasped his left hand in front of his chest as he raised his head and looked into his wife's bright eyes.
"I, Colin Angelo, am willing to devote my loyalty to the respected Dukes Of The North. I will protect my people with my life and repay the House of Saint Hilde with my glory. I will not let you down!"
Vera then handed the sword back to Colin before she took out the Count's seal and suit from the servant beside her and gave them to Colin.
At this point, the Angele family's Count conferring ceremony was officially over.
The hall was immediately filled with enthusiastic cheers and applause.
Although the nobles who came to watch the ceremony were inevitably jealous of this young Count of the Empire, no one dared to be unconvinced.
Not to mention that Colin was the husband of the Dukes Of The North and the guardian of the Northern Frontier, just based on his outstanding military achievements in the Northern Frontier Rebellion, he was worthy of the title of Count.
No one could deny that in the short span of two years, this once obscure baron's son had leaped to become one of the most important figures in the Northern Region, and even in the Empire.
Archbishop Akani, who was wearing a white priest's robe, came in front of Colin and drew a holy emblem on her chest. She then revealed a pure and kind smile and said:
"May the supreme God of Light guide you on your path!"
"Praise the God of Light!"
The two of them looked at each other and perhaps only the two of them could understand the deep meaning in their eyes.
After that, the nobles who came to watch the ceremony came forward to congratulate the new Count.
When it was Knight Cambenin's turn, Colin suddenly asked in a low voice: "Knight Cambenin, the Duke has appointed Knight Fermi as the new Commander of the Golden Lion Legion. You should know about this, right?"
Cambenin lowered his head and said in a muffled voice: "Yes, the Duke has mentioned this to me before."
"Then you should also understand that this is not the Duke's intention."
"I understand. This is the will of the royal family. The Duke does not need to feel embarrassed. I can understand … "
"No." Colin reached out and pressed on Knight Cambenin's shoulder as he said in a deep voice: "You are the one that the Duke and I truly trust. Although Knight Fermi is going to be the Commander of the Golden Lion Legion, it does not mean that the Duke is relieved to hand over this important army to him."
Cambenin's eyes suddenly lit up. He looked up at Colin and asked respectfully: "My Lord, what would you like me to do?"
Colin smiled faintly: "Taking advantage of this opportunity to appoint a new Legion Commander, His Lordship is preparing to make a big adjustment to the officers of the Golden Lion Legion. As for how to make this adjustment, I hope you can give His Lordship some suggestions."
Cambenin's heart skipped a beat as he immediately understood Colin's meaning.
This was clearly an opportunity for him to place his own trusted aides in the Golden Lion Legion!
This way, even if Knight Fermi became the commander of the Golden Lion Legion, he would only be a commander without an army. As long as all the middle and lower ranking officers were Knight Canbenin's men, he would be the true commander of the Golden Lion Legion!
After understanding this, the haze on Cambenin's face immediately disappeared. He excitedly lowered his voice and said:
"Thank you, my Lord, for your trust. I will draft a list for you!"
Colin smiled in relief and patted Knight Cambenin's shoulder again.
Knight Cambenin bowed respectfully and retreated.
