Although he had become a captive, Marquis Vincent still tried his best to straighten his back when he walked into the Half-Elven Palace.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, this kind of effort was always a bit weak in reality.
Moreover, this was the second time Marquis Vincent walked into the palace as a captive.
The unspeakable shame was like a poisonous snake biting into Marquis Vincent's heart. He couldn't help but wonder if Colin Angele was destined to be his nemesis.
He thought that this trip to Silver Moon City could wash away his shame, but he didn't expect that …
When Marquis Vincent finally saw Colin in the palace, he was playing with the baby girl in his arms.
When Colin saw Marquis Vincent and the others, he was ready to hand his daughter to a maid and send her to Aisha. However, the little girl seemed to like Colin very much. As soon as she left Colin's arms, she immediately burst into tears. Colin tried several times, but it didn't work.
Colin was helpless, but he was also a bit smug. He could only hold his baby daughter and say to Marquis Vincent,
"Sorry, the little girl is too clingy."
Trisili looked at Colin with deep meaning and said with a smile, "Earl, Her Royal Highness likes the smell on your body."
Marquis Vincent rolled his eyes and didn't say anything.
From his point of view, Colin was purposely showing contempt for him.
Colin paced in the palace and patted Sylph's back gently to calm her down. He then said to Marquis Vincent.
"Marquis Vincent, we meet again."
Colin was in a good mood, not only because he had caught a big fish like Marquis Vincent, but also because Marquis Vincent had 'sent' two fifth grade knights over as well.
These two fifth-grade knights were already locked up by the Blood Cavalry, waiting for Colin to turn them into blood slaves.
In this way, the strength of the Blood Shadow Guards under Colin's command increased greatly. Including the two fifth-grade knights who were about to join, there were now two sixth-grade knights, four fifth-grade knights, and more than three hundred professionals of other grades.
A high-end combat force of this scale would not be inferior to any of the paladin clans with deep foundations.
Of course, if this Paladin Family really had a living Paladin, that would be a different story.
What's more, Marquis Vincent was an important prisoner, so Colin could use him to exchange for a lot of good things from the Eastern Region.
The corner of Marquis Vincent's mouth twitched, and he said disdainfully, "You're just lucky."
Colin was amused. He pointed at Cui Sili and said, "Is this the blessing of the Goddess of Fate?"
Trisley immediately said respectfully, "Yes, my lord. You, Her Majesty the Queen, and Princess Sylph are all people who are greatly favored by the Goddess, and also the hope for the prosperity of the half-elven kingdom!"
Marquis Vincent sneered and said, "Colin, I advise you to be careful of this woman. She's a viper who doesn't keep her promises and bites the hand that feeds her. She has no sense of honor or bottom line. I really don't know how the Goddess of Destiny can have a believer like you!"
In the face of Marquis Vincent's slander, Cui Sili still looked indifferent, as if these accusations could not hurt her at all.
Colin looked at Cui Sili with great interest, waiting for her to refute and explain, but unexpectedly, the high priestess had no intention of speaking at all.
For a moment, Colin could not figure out the high priestess' intentions.
However, he did not care too much.
Since Cui Sili had helped Colin capture Marquis Vincent, then Colin would not pursue her previous mistakes.
Of course, Colin would not trust this woman because of this, let alone agree to any of her conditions.
It was like a piece of toilet paper, once used, it could be thrown away.
Cui Sili did not know whether she did not realize that she was of no value in Colin's eyes and had accepted her fate, or whether she was confident in her ability to gain Colin's trust. In short, she still remained silent.
However, Marquis Vincent was not willing to give up, and asked, "I promised this woman before, the leadership of the whole half-elf kingdom, but she still betrayed me.
So, Colin Angele, what did you promise her? "
Colin shrugged and said, "I did not promise anything."
Marquis Vincent's face was full of disdain, as if he thought that Colin was lying.
Unexpectedly, Cui Sili opened her mouth and said, "Yes. This is my gift to Count Angele, and I do not ask for anything in return. "
"That's impossible!" Marquis Vincent obviously could not accept this result.
Cui Sili did not say anything, but she looked at Sylph in Colin's arms with bright eyes, as if that was the real reason why she changed her position, and all that she wanted in return.
Although Colin did not know what the high priestess was planning, he did not ask anymore, and instead asked Marquis Vincent.
"Vincent, you are now my captive, so this time, what is the East going to give me to redeem you?"
Marquis Vincent snorted and said, "What do you want?"
Colin rubbed his chin, thought for a moment, and said, "I want 15 heavy warships, 180 light paddle sail warships, and 200 medium transport ships."
Marquis Vincent heard this, and immediately laughed and said sarcastically, "Count Angele, you want the House of Saint Prospero to pack up the Pegasus Navy for you?"
Colin shrugged and said with a smile, "I think you are the first successor of the Duke of the East, and if the price is too low, it will be an insult to you."
"Oh, my father has three children who can inherit the title, but the House of Saint Prospero only has one navy." Marquis Vincent spoke in a cold tone, "Count Angele, what do you think my father will do?"
Colin thought for a moment, and seemed to think that Marquis Vincent's words were reasonable, so he suggested, "How about this, you write a letter back and ask the Duke of Saint Prospero how many warships he is willing to give you.
But I have to remind you, if you don't have enough warships, I won't let you go easily. "
"Okay." Marquis Vincent nodded stiffly.
Colin saw this, and suddenly said again, "Oh, by the way, Marquis Vincent, I remember that your brother, the Earl Of Avon, is now at the Northern Frontier. Tell me, if he learns that you've been captured, will he try to stop you from being ransomed? "
Marquis Vincent's mouth twitched a few times, and apparently he realized the crisis he was in. He immediately nodded and said, "I will write to my father as soon as possible, and ask him to give you a satisfactory price."
"That's right." Colin smiled and nodded.
At this time, he also found that Sylph in his arms had fallen asleep, so he generously lowered his head and kissed the little girl's forehead.
"Okay, it's time for a nap, time to rest."
After saying this, Colin turned around and walked into the hall with Sylph in his arms, no longer paying attention to Marquis Vincent and Trisley.
Marquis Vincent looked at Cui Sili beside him and suddenly revealed a sinister smile, saying: "Cui Sili, I'll remember this debt. The House of Saint Prospero won't let any traitor go easily! "
Trisley heard this, turned around calmly, and stared into Marquis Vincent's eyes without fear, and said calmly,
"You don't represent the House of Saint Prospero."
This sentence seemed to have hit Marquis Vincent's soft spot, and his face instantly became extremely terrifying.
But fortunately, he knew his current situation, and didn't lose his temper. He only hid the hatred deep in his heart, and growled,
"Trisley, let's wait and see!"
