Half Elven Palace.
Duke Müller noticed that his sister's cries had suddenly stopped coming from the delivery room. He was puzzled and asked, "Why is there no sound? Has she already given birth? "
But after a while, he shook his head and muttered to himself, "That can't be right. I didn't hear the baby crying either!"
Colin, who had been silent all this time, finally turned around. With a strange smile on his face, he said to Duke Müller,
"What did the Eastern Region promise you?"
"What?!" Duke Müller was shocked, his face full of astonishment.
Colin didn't say anything. He just looked at Duke Müller, his eyes full of ridicule as if his prey had taken the bait.
Duke Müller calmed down and pretended to be relaxed as he said, "Your Excellency, should we go in and see what's going on inside?"
"What do you think is going on inside?" Colin asked with a smile.
"This … How would I know? If it's convenient, we should go in and take a look …"
"Then what do you want to see inside?"
"I … Of course I want to see Aisha give birth to a healthy baby!" Duke Müller tried to maintain a relaxed tone.
But Colin still caught a hint of fear and panic in Duke Müller's eyes.
"Unfortunately, I'm afraid your expectations will be disappointed." Colin pretended to sigh, as if he really felt sorry for Duke Müller.
"Why?"
"Because Her Majesty isn't going to give birth." Colin finished speaking and crossed his arms in front of his chest. He stared at Duke Müller with interest, waiting for his reaction.
Duke Müller opened his mouth wide and laughed awkwardly, "Your, Your Excellency … You must be joking with me …"
"I'm not joking with you." Colin stopped smiling and his tone became serious, "This was originally a test that Her Majesty and I discussed. We wanted to see what kind of big fish we could catch. Haha, who would have thought that Duke Müller would be able to fish you out! "
"B-Count, I don't quite understand what you mean …" Duke Müller was still stubbornly resisting.
Colin sneered. "Duke Müller, did you know? I especially like to watch the prey struggle in the trap. Every time they make a futile struggle for survival, it's so moving, yet so foolish and laughable. "
Duke Müller could no longer maintain his composure. Beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably. He opened his mouth, wanting to explain himself, but he didn't know what to say.
Colin didn't seem to want to listen to Duke Müller's explanation. He continued, "Actually, from the very beginning, I've been very curious about the true killer move of the rebels in Silvermoon City.
Those half-elf merchants obviously couldn't do it. Even if they had the courage to burn all their food, so what? At most, the Northern Frontier would be more difficult this winter, but they couldn't change the situation in Silvermoon City.
As for the Silvermoon Guard, haha, with the Blood Cavalry in the city, what chance did they have to win? Even if they hid in the alleys and took advantage of the terrain to make the Blood Cavalry lose their biggest advantage, so what?
Even if the Blood Cavalry got off their horses, they were still the best of the best. Maybe they couldn't win easily, but if the Silvermoon Guard thought that they could defeat the Blood Cavalry, they were too naive!
So, I realized early that the rebels must have a true killer move. Otherwise, they wouldn't have dared to jump out and court death.
So, what is this killer move? "
Speaking of this, Colin slowly approached Duke Müller. The latter couldn't bear his sharp eyes and extremely oppressive momentum and had to lower his head.
"In order to figure this out, Aisha and I planned this scene together. She pretended to be in labor and let the rebels believe that she was at her weakest moment. At this time, I could see their trump card clearly.
But I didn't expect that the trump card of the rebels was the Miller family! "
In the face of Colin's blunt accusation, Duke Müller lowered his head and kept silent, as if he had admitted it.
Colin didn't care and continued with a smile, "But to be honest, I wasn't too surprised about this.
Since you could use Aisha as a tool for marriage and forced her to marry an old king who had one foot in the grave, it meant that in your heart, you didn't treat her as a family member.
So this time, you didn't hesitate to continue sacrificing Aisha.
If Aisha gave birth to an accident, hehe, then Duke Müller, you should be able to smoothly inherit the half-elf throne, right? "
"You think I'm doing this for the throne?" Duke Müller finally raised his head and angrily glared at Colin as he roared in a low voice.
"Oh? What is it for? "Colin asked with great interest.
"I'm doing this for the half-elf kingdom!" Duke Müller said with a strong sense of righteousness.
"Heh —" Colin couldn't help but laugh out loud.
In the face of Colin's ridicule, Duke Müller clenched his fists and said firmly, "Colin Angele! Why don't you think about it, why did this rebellion cause such a big commotion? Almost all the half-elf nobles, generals, soldiers, and merchants are rebelling?
Because they know that Aisha, that bitch, isn't worthy of being the half-elf king!
She's just a puppet you use to control the half-elves!
As long as she's on the throne, the interests of the half-elves will never be guaranteed! "
"Is that so?" Colin rubbed his chin and lightly asked, "Then tell me, how did we infringe on the interests of the half-elves?"
"You forcefully bought the half-elves' food at a low price …"
"But the East asked you to destroy all the food, at least I was willing to pay."
"You forcefully dispatched the Silvermoon Guard and let the half-elves bleed and sacrifice for you …"
"The Silvermoon Guard is only helping me guard my territory at the Northern Frontier. I didn't send them to fight any hard battles, and I didn't use them as cannon fodder!"
"Hmph, no matter how you quibble, the half-elf kingdom is now a puppet in your hands!"
"Hehe, then respected Duke Müller, if you ascend the throne, won't you become a puppet in the hands of the East?"
"I … …" Duke Müller's face turned red, and he couldn't refute for a while.
Colin coldly smiled and disdainfully said, "What do you mean for the half-elf kingdom, that's just an excuse to appease your conscience. Without it, you won't be able to sleep peacefully at night, right?
Since it's for the sake of fighting for power, then say it openly. That way, I'll think more highly of you.
However, as long as you participate in this game of power, then when you lose, other than admitting it openly, any other excuses will only make you a joke. "
After saying this, Colin turned around and walked into the delivery room.
At the same time, two armoured men silently appeared behind Duke Müller and restrained him.
Duke Müller struggled with all his might and at the same time begged Colin for mercy, "Sir Count, Sir Count! I admit defeat, I admit defeat! You can't kill me, you can't kill me! I'm Aisha's brother, her brother … … "
Chi!
A cold light flashed, and Duke Müller's shouts came to an abrupt end.
With a thud, a bloody head rolled to the ground.
In the delivery room, Madam Sharon had already fainted, not knowing whether it was because of fear or shame.
Seeing Colin walk in, Queen Aisha who was leaning on the bed revealed a bright smile. Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly saw the night sky outside the window suddenly light up.
Colin also looked out in surprise.
The dark night sky turned fiery red in an instant, as if the fire in the city had spread to the sky.
But of course, Colin knew that the fire on the ground couldn't reach the sky. Just as he was about to walk out to take a closer look, the phantom of a golden phoenix suddenly rushed out of the heavenly fire!
With the power to look down on the world, this phantom of a phoenix passed through the vast night sky before anyone could react. It rapidly circled above the Half-Elven Palace before turning into specks of starlight and gradually dissipating.
Colin frowned. Just as he was about to ask, he saw Queen Elsa press on her stomach with a pained expression.
"Colin, it seems like I'm really going to give birth this time!"
