"Vincent, you know him, don't you?"
"Yes. He is a knight of the House of Saint Prospero. When I led the Pegasus Legion to Silvermoon City last year, he also went with the army. " Marquis Vincent's face was a little dignified. "So, after that battle, he swore allegiance to you?"
Colin nodded and said, "Yes. Although I announced to the public that all the prisoners of war of the Pegasus Legion had been killed, it was only to appease the Blood Cavalry and the half-elves.
In fact, there were many high-grade professionals in the Pegasus Legion who were willing to surrender, but I secretly kept them. "
Marquis Vincent was not surprised by this. After all, it would be a waste to kill such a high-grade professional like an ordinary captive.
If he were Colin, he would do the same.
Although these eastern knights who had changed their allegiance would be too ashamed to return to their hometown, it was better than dying.
"This time, I ordered this person to be your guard mainly because he was from the Eastern Region. I thought he would be more attentive to you, but I didn't expect him to plot to assassinate you! Could it be that he blamed the defeat of the Pegasus Legion and his own capture on you? "
"No, if that was the case, it wouldn't be enough for this person to take the risk to assassinate me." Marquis Vincent's eyes flashed, as if he had understood the real reason for the matter.
Colin frowned and asked, "Oh? Listening to what you said, could there be other reasons? "
Marquis Vincent nodded with a dignified face and said, "Lord Chosen One, this person is called John Fein. Although he is a knight of the House of Saint Prospero, he is actually from the Fein family.
However, because he was born in a branch of the Fein family, he could not inherit the title. After showing his knightly talent, he chose to be loyal to the House of Saint Prospero and has been following me since.
But this person is a member of the Fein family after all, and the Fein family … Hehe, they have been jumping around in the Eastern Region recently. "
"Fein?" Colin touched his chin and pretended to think for a while before asking, "If I remember correctly, the Viscounts who recently appeared in Alfalfa City seems to be from the Fein family."
"That's right. That Viscounts Fiin is his cousin, and the operation against Alfalfa City has always been the responsibility of my good younger brother, the Earl Of Avon! "
Colin seemed to have suddenly realized something and said, "Could it be that the Fein family is a supporter of your younger brother, the Earl Of Avon?"
"Yes. In fact, the Fiennes family was originally a dutiful family. Although they weren't close to me, they didn't deliberately get close to Evan.
But recently, they've probably seen Evan getting engaged to Prince Lacy's daughter. That's why they're starting to support Evan as the successor of the Duke of the Eastern Region. "Marquis Vincent said through gritted teeth.
"Hehe, I didn't expect that they would actually dare to make a move on me! No, the Fiennes shouldn't have the guts. It must be my good brother, the Earl Of Avon, who secretly instigated it! "
Looking at Marquis Vincent, who had imagined the "truth," Colin was laughing inside, but on the surface, he immediately put on a vexed expression.
"It seems that I didn't understand the situation and appointed the wrong person …"
"Sir God's Chosen One, you don't have to blame yourself." Marquis Vincent hurriedly persuaded, "In fact, if it weren't for your arrangement and exposing this person, I wouldn't have known that Evan could be so ruthless to take such measures against me for the sake of the inheritance!
It's funny that I used to think that Evan was soft-hearted. Although he also wanted to inherit the position of the Duke of the Eastern Region, he might not really dare to use the most extreme means … Hehe, now it seems that my good younger brother is really a person who can do great things! "
Colin looked at the ferocious Marquis Vincent and said with a smile, "Don't worry, since you've become my apostle, no one can take away the position of the Duke of the Eastern Region from you."
Marquis Vincent's spirit was lifted, and he hurriedly expressed his loyalty, "Thank you for your support, Sir God's Chosen One! Please rest assured, no matter what plan my Lord has for sending you to the world, I will do my best to assist you in accomplishing it! "
Colin nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well then, you first make a list of the half-elves who participated in this rebellion."
"Yes!" Marquis Vincent answered without any hesitation.
Then, he went to the desk, picked up a quill, and started writing.
A moment later, Colin took the list of rebels from Marquis Vincent and looked at it carefully.
In fact, Knight Roger had also given Colin a list of half-elves who participated in the rebellion, but Marquis Vincent's list was obviously more "rich".
This was understandable, after all, although many half-elven nobles originally agreed to participate in the rebellion, when it really came down to it, they might regret it, or they might be afraid, or they might want to wait for a while and let others go first. Then, when they saw that things weren't going well, they directly backed out.
For example, the Savoy family. According to his maid Cathy's report, this half-elven royal family was actually inquiring about the doctor who delivered Aisha's baby. Obviously, they were up to no good, but during the rebellion, they didn't show up.
Therefore, Knight Roger's list didn't include the Savoy family.
However, Marquis Vincent's list included them.
"The Savoy family. Are you sure they participated in the rebellion?" Colin asked.
"Yes, Baron Savoy personally participated in the secret meeting I organized. Obviously, he also had ulterior motives."
"Then, what plans did the Savoy family have?"
Marquis Vincent revealed a sarcastic smile and said, "My Lord, that Baron Savoy actually wanted to bribe the doctor who delivered Her Majesty's baby. But in my opinion, this was obviously an extremely stupid move.
The doctor who delivered Her Majesty's baby must have been carefully selected. How could he be so easily bribed? His plan would only alert the enemy.
Therefore, I immediately rejected Baron Savoy's plan and only ordered him to follow the Silvermoon Guard. "
Colin nodded and said, "Obviously, he didn't do as you said."
Marquis Vincent understood Colin's meaning and shrugged, "This isn't strange. There are always some self-righteous idiots in this world."
"Indeed." Colin glanced at Marquis Vincent and laughed, "Your plan to let Duke Müller and Madam Sharon take action is much smarter."
Marquis Vincent was stunned when he heard this. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "My Lord, I don't understand what you mean."
Colin looked at Marquis Vincent seriously and asked, "You didn't arrange for Duke Müller and Madam Sharon?"
"No." Marquis Vincent shook his head. "Her Majesty Aisha is from the Miller family. Why would I take the risk to rope in Duke Müller and Madam Sharon to participate in the rebellion?"
Colin frowned and hurriedly looked through the list of names that Marquis Vincent gave him. Indeed, he didn't find any members of the Miller family.
He didn't think that Marquis Vincent was lying. After all, the rebellion had failed and there was no need to lie.
Moreover, thinking about it carefully, Marquis Vincent had already persuaded the High Priestess of the Goddess of Destiny to hold the [Blessing of Blood] ceremony to forcefully increase the bloodline of the fetus in Aisha's womb and cause a difficult birth. In that case, there was no need for Madam Sharon to poison Aisha with the energy potion.
So, Madam Sharon and Duke Müller participated in the rebellion on their own accord?
Colin thought about it and felt that it was possible.
Although Duke Müller wasn't instigated by Marquis Vincent, he was probably planning to take advantage of the situation when he sensed the rebellion in Silverymoon City.
After all, if Aisha had an accident during the birth, Duke Müller would be the first in line to the throne.
But then Colin recalled that when he exposed Duke Müller, the latter had admitted that he was bewitched by the Eastern Region to participate in the rebellion.
Under those circumstances, Duke Müller had no need to lie.
Colin frowned and realized that there might be some hidden information that he had overlooked.
Seeing that Colin was silent, Marquis Vincent quickly asked, "Sir, is there something wrong?"
"Just a small problem." Colin smiled and shook his head. He didn't think too much about it and prepared to personally interrogate Madam Sharon later.
He put away the list of rebels that Marquis Vincent had given him and said, "Next, I need you to cooperate with me."
Marquis Vincent immediately lowered his head and placed his hand on his chest.
"It's my greatest honor to be able to serve the Chosen One!"
