"When did she die?"
Colin looked expressionlessly at Madam Sharon's corpse in front of him, anger rising in his heart.
Unlike the assassination of Marquis Vincent, this assassination was obviously not directed by Colin.
Of course, Colin did not feel sad about this person's death. Although she was Aisha's biological mother, Colin had already sentenced her to death in his heart when she was about to poison Aisha when she gave birth.
The reason why he did not kill her on the spot was that he wanted to leave it to Aisha to deal with her personally.
But he did not expect that Madam Sharon would also be assassinated.
Even if she had to die, she should have died at the hands of Aisha.
"Count, Madam Sharon died from poisoning. According to the degree of stiffness of the corpse, the time of death was about last night."
Colin nodded and fell into silence.
He did not check who had come to Madam Sharon's room last night because it would be meaningless.
After exposing Madam Sharon's conspiracy, Colin did not pay attention to this person and just casually placed her in a side hall of the palace.
This could not be blamed on Colin's carelessness. After all, he did not feel the need to arrange a heavy guard for this person at first.
First of all, Madam Sharon was not a professional and it was impossible for her to escape from the heavily guarded palace.
Moreover, after killing Duke Müller, Madam Sharon's life and death were no longer important. A weak woman like her could not cause any trouble after losing Aisha's trust.
But when Colin learned that Marquis Vincent did not instigate Duke Müller to participate in the rebellion, he realized that there was something wrong with Duke Müller's motives and that Madam Sharon might be useful.
Unfortunately, he realized it too late.
When he wanted to interrogate Madam Sharon, she was already dead.
However, Colin also confirmed one thing. There must be someone behind Duke Müller and Madam Sharon!
Before, Colin had speculated that Duke Müller might have seen the rebellion and wanted to take advantage of the chaos. But now, looking at the silenced Madam Sharon, Colin understood that they were instigated by someone.
Moreover, this person did not want to reveal his identity.
This was a bit interesting.
Colin touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
It seemed that there was another force besides the Eastern Region that wanted to cause chaos in the half-elven kingdom.
Who could it be?
…
In the back garden of the palace.
Queen Elsa was wearing a loose white robe. She was holding Sylph, who was still sleeping soundly, as she strolled on the green lawn.
Her beautiful and charming face shone with the radiance of happiness. Her amber eyes were filled with tenderness and love as she stared at the baby girl in her arms.
The soft autumn sun shone on the mother and daughter, as if they were rippling with a holy halo.
Behind Aisha, there were two little tails — Prince Harrison and Princess Judy.
The two followed behind Aisha, curiously looking at the little life in her arms. They whispered a few words from time to time, and then covered their mouths and laughed. No one knew what they were talking about.
Hearing Colin's footsteps, Aisha stopped, turned back and smiled sweetly at her lover. Her voice was clear and soft, "You came at a bad time. The little one just fell asleep."
Colin walked up, put his arm around Aisha's waist, and asked, "Why did you get out of bed? Didn't I tell you to rest for a while? "
Aisha leaned her body into Colin's arms and said with a smile, "It's uncomfortable to lie down all the time, and I'm very healthy. It's no problem for me to get up and walk around."
Colin also knew that Aisha's body was not comparable to that of an ordinary pregnant woman, so he didn't try to persuade her anymore. He lowered his head and kissed the delicate face of the little one in her arms.
"Humph! Teacher, you're really not afraid that the whole world will know that Sylph is your illegitimate daughter! "Princess Judy couldn't help but grumble.
Colin glanced at Judy with a smile and asked, "What about your father? Do you know how many illegitimate children he has? "
Princess Judy suddenly stopped talking and puffed up her cheeks angrily.
Even Colin, who was not familiar with the noble circle in the capital, knew that Emperor Reinhardt's illegitimate children were all over the capital. Some people even joked that —
Emperor Reinhardt didn't have to worry about the issue of an heir. If something happened to his children, he could choose one of the many illegitimate children to adopt.
Colin sometimes couldn't help but wonder if this was the reason why Emperor Reinhardt was willing to send Harrison and Judy to him without worrying about anything happening to them.
"Father has nine illegitimate children and seven illegitimate daughters …" a young voice said weakly.
Colin turned around in surprise and looked at Prince Harrison. He smiled and said, "You know so much?"
Prince Harrison nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, even father's illegitimate children are clearly recorded in the royal family."
Colin suddenly became interested and asked, "Then how are you sure that the child is Emperor Reinhardt's? After all, I heard that your father's lovers are all married women! "
"Every lover of my father's would be placed in a specific manor during the period of time when they were being pampered and wouldn't have any contact with their husbands …"
"Your father is really a particular person." Colin couldn't help but laugh.
But then, he immediately realized that Emperor Reinhardt was deliberately sowing his seeds.
Such a strict and perfect security system, and the situation of every illegitimate child was recorded in detail. Was Emperor Reinhardt's behavior of "having lovers all over the capital" purely for pleasure, or did he have other motives?
Thinking of the Golden-tailed Butterfly — the Morrison Family — on the Northern Frontier, Colin suddenly felt that this Emperor Reinhardt wasn't secretly doing some kind of bloodline experiment under the guise of having lovers everywhere, was he?
Thinking of this, Colin said to Prince Harrison, "Harrison, do you still remember the details of your father's illegitimate children?"
Prince Harrison scratched his head and said awkwardly, "I only remember part of it …"
"Then please write down the information you remember. I want to take a look. These shouldn't be confidential, right? "
"Of course not. I'll write it down now and show it to you when I'm done." Prince Harrison nodded and then ran off as if he had received an important mission.
"What about me? What about me? Do I have a mission? "Princess Judy felt that she had been left out and shouted unhappily.
"You …" Colin rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Help me design an amusement park."
"Amusement park?"
"Yes, this is an amusement park for Sylph. Please help me design it. It will be based on the adventures of the heroes I told you before, combined with exploration, mazes, riddles, treasure hunting, and other elements, and create a few mini-games that can be used to clear the game.
If your design is good, I can gather craftsmen to cooperate with you to build this amusement park … "
"Okay! Okay! I'll design it, I'll design it! " Princess Judy was so excited that she clapped her hands and shouted loudly. It wasn't until the little girl in Aisha's arms woke up that she stuck out her cute tongue and ran off.
Aisha patted Sylph's back gently and waited for her to fall asleep again before saying to Colin, "Alright, that's enough.
You sent the two of them away. Do you have anything to say to me? "
Colin's smile faded as he held Aisha's soft, jade-like hand and said in a deep voice,
"Madam Sharon has passed away."
