Early morning, Red Maple Manor.
Queen Aisha opened her eyes and found that her lover was no longer by her side, leaving only a breath that she was infatuated with.
After lying on the comfortable bed for a while, Aisha gently stroked her bulging belly, a happy and sweet smile appearing on her beautiful face.
"Good morning, baby."
After gently greeting the little life in her belly, Aisha left the bed and walked out of the bedroom barefooted. She saw Colin sitting at the desk in the front hall, holding a roll of parchment and looking at it in a daze.
Colin heard the movement behind him and turned his head to see Aisha in a loose nightgown. He smiled and said, "Dear, did I wake you up? You should sleep more. Also, pregnant women need to keep warm. You can't run around the house barefooted … "
Queen Aisha rolled her beautiful eyes and walked forward to sit on Colin's lap. She used her delicate red lips to stop her lover's nagging.
After a moment of tenderness, Aisha curiously looked at the parchment on the table and asked, "What are you looking at?"
"I'm looking at the report that Duke Modewin wrote for you."
Aisha did not mind that Colin was flipping through the letter that her vassal wrote for her. Instead, she giggled and said, "Duke Modewin is anxious."
"Hehe, isn't it all because you refused to go back to Red Maple Manor?" Colin raised his eyebrows and patted Aisha's smooth and delicate thigh lightly.
After patting it, he also laughed. Perhaps he was thinking of Duke Modewin, who was simple and honest but had no ability.
Queen Aisha leaned softly on Colin's chest and felt his vigorous heartbeat. She smiled and asked, "Then do you think I should return to Silvermoon City immediately?"
Colin glanced at the beautiful smile of the woman in his arms and shook his head. "No, let Duke Modewin continue to be anxious for a while."
"What reason should I use this time?" Queen Aisha asked with a smile. "Previously, I could say that I did not see you. But now that you have arrived at Red Maple Manor, how should I reply to Duke Modewin?"
Colin pondered for a moment and said, "Just say that the carriage is broken and is being repaired."
"How could there be such a coincidence …" Queen Aisha pouted, a little dissatisfied with this idea.
Colin had no choice but to change his excuse. "Then you can say that I don't want you to suffer from the bumpy ride, so I'm preparing to design a new shock absorber for your carriage."
"You really know how to design a carriage's shock absorber?" Queen Aisha's eyes lit up as she smiled at her lover.
"Of course it's true. I already have a wonderful idea." Colin pretended to be confident.
In fact, he was thinking of a spring, but he didn't know if the craftsmen of this era could make a spring, so he felt a little guilty.
However, he decided to give it a try later. After all, he had nothing else to do.
He also knew that Queen Aisha specially came to Red Maple Manor this time. Firstly, she wanted to see her lover earlier. Secondly, she wanted to give the half-elves in Silverymoon City a 'chance' so that they could plan their own schemes without worry when the Queen was not around.
In the past two years, Queen Aisha had inevitably offended a group of half-elven nobles in order to control the half-elven kingdom. Moreover, she had angered almost all the half-elven merchants because of the low price she had given to the Northern Frontier.
Although these half-elven nobles and merchants seemed to be obedient to Queen Aisha on the surface, they had secretly colluded and plotted to overthrow Queen Aisha's rule.
That was why Colin had brought the Blood Cavalry to the half-elven kingdom this time. It was to completely wipe out the rebel forces in the half-elven kingdom.
"Do you think that Duke Modewin has joined the rebel forces?" Colin suddenly asked playfully.
"To be honest, I can't guess either." Queen Aisha picked up the sheepskin parchment on the table and flipped through the information that Duke Modewin had reported to her recently. The sincerity and loyalty in it did not seem fake at all.
"The House of Medea was once the half-elven royal family. Logically speaking, they have enough motive to rebel against my rule. However, William this person … Hehe, perhaps it is as you said before. An honest person's lies are harder to detect."
The face of the honest Prince William appeared in Colin's mind. He said, "So you let Duke Modewin take charge of the situation in Silverymoon City?"
"That's right. Since I can't figure out his loyalty, I might as well place him in the most crucial position. If Duke Modewin can still withstand the test under such circumstances, then I can completely trust him in the future."
"Aren't you afraid that you will go overboard and let the rebel forces completely control Silverymoon City?"
"With you around, how can I go overboard?" Queen Aisha stretched out her pink arms and hooked Colin's neck as she smiled seductively.
Colin laughed. His confidence was greatly satisfied. He immediately used his mouth to capture Queen Aisha's red lips.
The faint fragrance and slight sweetness were unforgettable as always.
After a long while, their lips parted.
Colin patted Aisha's smooth arm and said, "Are you hungry? Let's go have breakfast. "
Aisha immediately stood up from Colin's arms and tidied her messy hair. Then, she held her lover's arm and walked out openly.
"Ha! I knew it. Your relationship is indeed not ordinary! "
As soon as they walked out, a petite figure suddenly jumped out from the corner of the wall and shouted while pointing at Colin and Aisha.
Colin, who had been 'caught red-handed', chuckled as he looked at the smug Princess Judy and Prince Harrison, who was hiding behind the pillar in the corridor. He calmly greeted, "Good morning, Princess Judy."
Judy saw that Colin and Aisha weren't as panicked as she had expected, and her interest was instantly dampened. She put her hands on her hips and questioned,
"Hmph! Teacher, I didn't expect Queen Aisha to be your lover! "
"So?" Colin had a fearless look on his face.
Judy puffed up her cheeks. She hesitated for a moment but didn't say anything. However, her eyes kept glancing at Aisha's bulging belly. Her meaning was obvious.
However, Colin didn't seem to understand the little girl's hint. He smiled and said, "Let's go and have breakfast."
After saying that, he put his arm around Queen Aisha's waist and walked towards the dining hall.
"Teacher, you … you …" Judy panicked. She felt that her teacher was too careless.
Although it wasn't a big deal for nobles to have lovers, Queen Aisha's identity was special. Furthermore, she was pregnant now.
If people suspected that the child in her belly was Colin's illegitimate child, it would definitely severely weaken the legitimacy of her inheritance.
It was a pity that the little girl was still too young. She couldn't understand Colin and Aisha's plan.
If it had been a year ago, Colin definitely wouldn't have been so intimate with Queen Aisha in public. But now, as the Earl of the empire and the guardian of the Northern Frontier, he didn't have to hide it anymore.
He even hoped that some rumors would spread to Silvermoon City. It would give those conspirators more excuses and courage. This way, he could get rid of the rebellious forces in the half-elven kingdom once and for all.
As for the issue of the inheritance of the child in Queen Aisha's belly … In the face of absolute power, it wasn't a problem at all.
As long as Colin and Aisha insisted that the child was the old king's posthumous child, who would dare to refute them?
"Teacher, teacher! You have to be careful … "
Judy hurriedly chased after him and advised anxiously.
Unfortunately, Colin didn't care about his student's good intentions. He still had his arm around Queen Aisha as he strode forward.
