At the beginning of September, the weather in Winter Castle was already a little cold.
The early autumn breeze swept across the lush green plains, bringing with it a hint of bleakness.
Winter Castle was actually a place with mountains and water, but this water area was not in the city, but outside the city. Therefore, it could barely be described as a "crouching tiger and coiling dragon".
Colin left Winter Dungeon and traveled south for about ten kilometers before he saw Agate Lake.
A gentle breeze passed over the agate lake, stirring up layers of ripples. Carps of various colors were swimming freely in the lake, but they were immediately frightened by the sound of horse hooves by the lakeside. They scattered and disappeared into the bottom of the lake.
After walking along the lake for a while, the outline of a manor appeared in front of them.
Colin did not speed up. Instead, he leisurely admired the scenery by the lake.
Not long after, the group entered the manor of the House of Saint Hilde by Agate Lake.
Colin asked the servant who was leading the horse, "Where are the two princes?"
"Earl, the two princes are learning horsemanship at the racecourse."
Colin nodded, turned the horse around, and rode towards the racecourse.
Actually, as the teacher of Prince Harrison and Princess Judy, Colin should be the one teaching them horsemanship. However, Colin was too busy to have the time. Therefore, he let the instructor of the House of Saint Hilde do it for him.
At least in Colin's opinion, the instructor of the House of Saint Hilde was actually more suitable than him to teach the two princes.
When he arrived at the racecourse, Colin saw a few thin but vigorous figures galloping on the grass from afar.
Colin sat down in the pavilion, and the young maidservant hurriedly served him freshly squeezed orange juice and a small plate of ice.
It was the end of summer. Although it was already cold, outdoor sports were still hot and stuffy. Colin poured the ice into the cup and sipped it.
"Teacher!"
The two princes also noticed Colin's arrival and waved at him from afar.
Colin smiled and waved back at them. However, he noticed that other than the instructor, Prince Harrison, and Princess Judy, there was another one in the racecourse — Joyce.
He immediately narrowed his eyes.
Seeing that Colin had arrived, the instructor tactfully ended today's lesson as soon as possible.
The three princes jogged to the pavilion and bowed to Colin.
Joyce was the last to arrive. He looked at Colin somewhat evasively. Colin looked down on his guilty conscience.
To be honest, among the three sons of the previous Duke Of St. Hilde, Colin had the deepest impression of Charles. Originally, he also appreciated the eldest son of the Duke the most. Unfortunately, because of his resentment towards his father, he actually wanted to collude with the Trolls and betray the Northern Frontier. In the end, he was seen through by Colin and turned into a blood slave.
Colin had only met the second son, Adams, once. However, at that time, Adams had directly received a boxed lunch. Therefore, Colin did not have much of an impression of him.
As for the youngest son, Joyce, Colin now felt that it was more and more difficult for this kid to become a great person.
This was not because Joyce had tried to compete with Vera for the position of the Dukes Of The North. Colin was afraid of him and deliberately looked down on him. It was because this kid's performance was really not smart enough in Colin's opinion.
What was Joyce trying to do by pursuing Princess Judy so eagerly?
Did he really think that if he married Princess Judy, he would be able to change his life?
Moreover, he did it so obviously and without any concealment. Did he really think that Colin was blind?
In fact, if Joyce could honestly stay in the Lion's Roar Castle and eat and play, Colin was willing to give him a plain and stable life for Vera's sake.
However, if he was not willing to be stable and wanted to jump around randomly, then he could not blame Colin for being ruthless.
"Teacher, you are really incompetent!" Judy's clear and slightly spoiled voice pulled Colin back to reality.
The empire's princess was wearing a tight suit that was convenient for riding a horse today. Her soft hair was tied into a ponytail, and when she trotted over, it was very cute.
"How am I incompetent?" Colin lazily leaned on the recliner and asked with a smile.
"You don't teach us equestrian skills personally!"
"Didn't I find a more suitable instructor for you guys? Everyone has their own strengths, and I can't teach you everything. "
"Then what are you really good at?"
"I'm good at … I'm good at beating bad guys."
"Beating bad guys?" Princess Judy took the towel handed by the maid and was stunned for a moment. Then she smiled and shouted, "Then I also want to learn how to beat bad guys from you!"
Colin glanced at Judy who had thin arms and legs, and deliberately made a disdainful look, and said, "You'd better take a bath first and change your clothes."
The little girl snorted, but still ran to take a bath obediently.
"Earl, then I will also take my leave first." Joyce immediately opened his mouth and said.
Colin glanced at him lightly and nodded, "Okay."
When only Prince Harrison was left in the pavilion, Colin asked with a smile, "Why don't you take a bath?"
After this period of contact, Prince Harrison could see that Colin was actually not difficult to get along with, so he was not as restrained as he was at the beginning.
"Teacher, I recently saw that the Bloody Cavalry is reorganizing their armaments. Are you going to battle again?"
Colin drank the cold and refreshing orange juice, shook his head, and said, "Not really. I'm going to the Half-Elf Kingdom, and the Bloody Cavalry will be the escort mission."
"So, teacher, are you here to say goodbye to us this time?"
"Yes."
Harrison was shocked, and then he plucked up his courage and asked, "Teacher, can you take me with you?"
Colin wanted to refuse, but looking at Harrison's eager eyes, he smiled and said, "If you can guess what I'm going to do, I'll take you with me."
Prince Harrison scratched his head and pondered for a moment. Suddenly he had an idea, and said, "You are going to beat bad guys!"
Colin laughed and said, "Do you know what a bad guy is?"
"Of course I know. As long as they are a threat to us, they are all bad guys!" Prince Harrison clenched his fists and responded rather domineeringly.
Colin looked at this prince with a smile, and asked, "Then do you think there are bad guys in this Agate Manor?"
Prince Harrison seemed to be a little hesitant, but he still nodded and said, "Yes!"
"Who?"
"Joyce!"
Colin narrowed his eyes and looked at Harrison carefully.
Unconsciously, Colin's mouth slightly curved, and he asked again, "Why is he a bad guy?"
"Because … he wants to get something that doesn't belong to him!"
Colin put down the mug in his hand and sat up straight.
This prince of the empire finally aroused his interest.
So, he reached out to hold Harrison's shoulder, stared into his eyes with bright eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "Well, since you think Joyce is a bad guy, then tell me, what should I do?"
Prince Harrison trembled slightly under Colin's deep eyes, but deep in his heart, there was a strong impulse trying to break out of the shell.
He knew that this was his teacher's test for him.
Therefore, the young Imperial Prince growled in a childish voice, "Don't worry.
"Bad guys deserve to be punished!"
The smile on Colin's face became even brighter. He reached out to pinch Prince Harrison's shoulder and said in a bewitching tone, "Very well.
Then let me see what you are capable of. "
Prince Harrison pursed his lips and nodded vigorously.
"Teacher, I won't let you down!"
After saying that, Prince Harrison bowed and ran off.
Colin looked at the other's departing figure, his eyes shining.
He really wanted to see what this prince was capable of. If he was to his liking, perhaps Colin would be willing to sincerely accept this student.
