Red Maple Manor.
The warm afternoon sun shone on the back garden, and the autumn rain that had just fallen added some fragrance to the air.
Jason, who had hurried over from Alfalfa City, was led by the butler to see Colin and Aisha walking in the garden.
However, the intimate posture of the two made Jason involuntarily lower his head, not daring to look.
The ambiguous relationship between Count Angele and Queen Aisha was no longer a secret in the half-elf kingdom. There were even some speculations about the father of the fetus in the Queen's belly that had been spread by people with ulterior motives.
Jason followed behind the butler and couldn't help but criticize in his mind. 'Can't you two be more restrained in public?'
"Your Majesty the Queen, Count Angele, please allow me to represent all the members of the Lute Family and all the people of Alfalfa City to express the highest respect to you!"
Queen Aisha glanced at Jason with a languid expression and said indifferently, "Can the Lute Family now represent the people of Alfalfa City?"
Faced with the sharp questioning of the Queen, Jason suddenly froze on the spot, not knowing how to answer.
Fortunately, Colin chuckled and said, "Knight Jason, it seems that your Lute Family's current actions in Alfalfa City have not satisfied Her Majesty the Queen."
"Yes … We have failed to live up to Her Majesty's expectations …" Jason replied bitterly.
Colin patted Aisha's arm and gave her a look.
Aisha understood and then ignored Jason and continued to walk forward slowly.
Colin stayed where he was and looked at the knight of the Lute Family with a smile. He asked, "Knight Jason, what are you here for this time? Are you here to ask for support like last time? "
"No, Count Angele, this time I have an important matter to report."
"Tell me."
Jason recounted the matter of the Northern Wind Chamber of Commerce entering Alfalfa City with a large amount of bonds, but it was stolen by a local thief.
However, to his disappointment, Colin listened quietly without any expression on his face.
It was as if such a thing could not attract his attention at all.
Jason was anxious and hurriedly reminded, "Your Lordship, the North Wind Chamber of Commerce dares to send a caravan through Alfalfa City to engage in foreign trade. This is simply a provocation to the policies you've previously formulated!
If you don't crack down on this kind of smuggling, there will definitely be other imitators in the future! "
Colin smiled. He looked at Jason with a playful expression and asked, "Then, as the City Lord of Alfalfa City, does your father have the ability to help me crack down on these smuggled Northern Frontier merchants?"
"For now … I can't." Jason was a little discouraged, but he immediately said, "Your Lordship, as long as you are willing to support us … Of course, I also know that you are worried about the natural moat that is the Nu Shui River. However, as long as you send troops to help us occupy one of the three districts of Alfalfa City, then our Lute Family will definitely be able to block off this smuggling route for you!"
However, Colin still firmly shook his head and said, "As I said, now is not the time to send troops to Alfalfa City."
Jason was still unwilling to give up and continued to persuade, "Your Lordship, this time, the North Wind Chamber of Commerce is still trying to transport a large amount of bonds out of the Northern Frontier. Aren't you worried about who the buyers of these bonds are?"
"Of course not." Colin said calmly, "When these bonds were first issued, His Lordship clearly declared that no matter who it was, they could exchange food for the bonds. Moreover, when the bonds matured, they could also exchange them for food from the House of Saint Hilde.
The North Wind Chamber of Commerce used food to exchange for a large amount of bonds from the House of Saint Hilde. Now, what they are going to do with these bonds and who they are going to sell them to has nothing to do with the House of Saint Hilde or me. "
"However, this time, the North Wind Chamber of Commerce is obviously preparing to trade such a large amount of bonds to the Eastern Region! Your Lordship, aren't you worried about the Eastern Region's conspiracy? "
"What conspiracy?" Colin asked with great interest.
Jason opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to answer this question.
Colin seemed a little disappointed and said lightly, "Well, Knight Jason, your Lute Family should be more concerned about how to gain a foothold in Alfalfa City.
This unforeseen event is actually a rare opportunity for you. Don't tell me you still don't understand? "
"Opportunity?" Jason was stunned. Obviously, he didn't understand Colin's meaning.
Colin also didn't explain in detail. He just said in a commanding tone, "Since you don't understand, then go back and take a good look. Don't run around all day thinking of unrealistic assistance.
Alfalfa City is about to undergo a drastic change. I hope you can properly grasp this opportunity. "
Jason seemed to realize something and wanted to ask more, but Colin waved his hand and motioned him to leave.
Although his heart was full of doubts, Jason didn't dare to go against Colin's will. He had no choice but to bow and take his leave.
After Jason left, Colin quickened his pace and caught up with Queen Aisha who was strolling in front of him. He hugged her waist again.
Aisha smiled gently at Colin and asked, "Are you the one who stirred up the storm in Alfalfa City?"
Colin also smiled and didn't deny it, "I can't hide anything from you."
"However, there is one thing I'm curious about."
"What is it?"
"Do those priceless bonds really exist?"
Colin laughed and nodded affirmatively, "Of course they do exist. Moreover, the Earl Of Avon of the Eastern Region personally instructed the Northern Wind Chamber of Commerce to bring them to Alfalfa City. They were prepared to exchange food with him."
Aisha blinked her eyes, "In that case, the Northern Wind Chamber of Commerce is actually under your control?"
"That's right."
"But there's a problem."
Colin nodded as if he already knew what Queen Aisha wanted to say, "Do you want to remind me that this will make the Eastern Region realize that the Northern Wind Chamber of Commerce is a spy under my control?"
"You already thought of it."
"Yes, and the solution is very simple."
"What solution?"
"Find a scapegoat."
"Scapegoat?" Queen Aisha repeated the new words that came out of Colin's mouth twice. She seemed to understand the meaning behind it, "Is it the Lute Family?"
"Smart!" Colin gently pecked the Queen's delicate red lips, "However, you don't have to worry about the Lute Family. I have already arranged for people in Alfalfa City. At least, Ron won't die in revenge.
As for whether he has the ability to clean up the mess in Alfalfa City, it will depend on his own ability. "
"As the City Lord of Alfalfa City, it is reasonable for Ron to take the blame." Queen Aisha said sternly, "You have already helped him a lot. If he holds a grudge against you because of this, then he doesn't know what's good for him."
"Hold a grudge? No, he will only hug my thigh even tighter. After this, the Lute Family will become a thorn in the side of the Eastern Region. If Ron wants to live, he can only desperately defend Alfalfa City for us. "
Queen Aisha nodded. Then, she said with some worry, "However, I am a little worried. With Ron's ability, he may not be able to control the chaos in Alfalfa City."
"Actually, it doesn't matter," Colin shrugged and said casually, "At least it won't be worse than it is now, right?"
"That's true. As long as it is not controlled by the forces supported by the Eastern Region, it doesn't matter even if Alfalfa City becomes a mess. "
At this time, the confident Colin still didn't know that the development of Alfalfa City's situation had deviated from the track he had expected.
The affairs of the world were unpredictable. Many times, plans could not keep up with changes.
… …
While the two were chatting, the butler came over again and handed a letter to Queen Aisha.
The Queen hurriedly skimmed through it and handed it to Colin. At the same time, she smiled and said, "It's almost time for us to return to Silvermoon City."
Colin read the letter and smiled.
He reached out and gently stroked Aisha's bulging belly and said, "Alright.
"Alright, then let us welcome the birth of this new life together."
