"Teacher, can I have a dance with you?"
Princess Judy, with her hands behind her back, timidly stood in front of Colin and shyly asked.
Colin quietly rolled his eyes. Of course, he knew that this strange princess was deliberately pretending to be shy, but he didn't know what she was planning this time.
At this time, the meal time had passed and the attendants had already cleaned up the table. The band had also changed to a melodious dance music, waiting for the host of the night to lead the first dance.
Colin originally wanted to have the first dance with Aisha, but now that Princess Judy had taken the initiative to invite him, as a gentleman, of course he couldn't refuse.
And Queen Aisha wasn't angry with Princess Judy. She even smiled and handed Colin's hand to Judy.
Colin took Princess Judy's hand and looked at the little girl wearing a white princess dress. He suddenly discovered that she already had the appearance of a young lady.
Her skin was as white as snow, her facial features were delicate, and her golden hair was draped over her white shoulders. The silk dress outlined her exquisite body, and her slender jade-like legs were exposed outside the dress, glowing with a moist luster and full of vitality.
Two shallow dimples appeared on her bright and beautiful face, and her pair of beautiful eyes were filled with smiles.
"Teacher, you don't seem to be very willing to have the first dance with me!"
"Of course not."
Colin gathered his thoughts and led Princess Judy to the center of the hall. Then he took her into his arms and began to rotate to the beat of the music.
Patter!
The delicate crystal shoes heavily stepped on the marble floor, making a discordant sound.
Colin, who had just dodged the step, shook his head and said: "You won't step on me, dance properly."
Princess Judy pouted unconvinced, but she also knew that it was impossible for her to step on a high order knight.
She rolled her big bright eyes and suddenly whispered, "Don't worry.
"Teacher, I discovered a secret of my brother, do you want to hear it?"
Colin looked down at the little girl in front of him and said with a smile: "You didn't discover the matter between him and Cathy, did you?"
"Huh? Teacher, you already knew! "
"Yes."
Princess Judy was silent for a moment before asking, "Then how could the teacher allow this to happen? Big brother is the first successor of the royal family, but Cathy is a half-elf, and a maid at that! "
"What's the hurry? It's not like your brother is going to marry Cathy. Let him experience the taste of love. "
"But … what if they have a baby? What are we going to do?"
"He's just an illegitimate child. Doesn't your father have a bunch of illegitimate children?"
"But Father's lovers are all human nobles!" Princess Judy said anxiously, "Teacher, you don't know, but the blood of the royal family can't flow to outsiders!"
"Is there such a rule?" Colin asked doubtfully.
"Yes!" Princess Judy nodded seriously. "The first emperor, His Majesty Ghanaia, made the rule himself — the bloodline of San Lorenzo must not be passed to outsiders!"
"Why?"
"How would I know?"
Colin frowned and fell into deep thought.
This was actually a strange rule. After all, other paladin families could intermarry with outsiders.
For example, the House of Saint Hilde had married their daughters to trolls many times, and even Vera almost married the half-elf prince. So why was the San Lorenzo family not allowed to intermarry with outsiders, and they couldn't even have illegitimate children?
Bloodline?
Wasn't the bloodline of the San Lorenzo family also the bloodline of the paladins?
Seeing that Colin didn't speak, Princess Judy was a little anxious, and she shouted, "Teacher!"
Colin came back to his senses, but he still didn't care too much. He casually said, "What's the hurry? Just let them take contraceptive measures."
In fact, in this era, there were already contraceptive measures, such as the intestines of some animals, and some special drugs.
In short, if he didn't want Prince Harrison and Cathy to have a "crystallization of love", it was not a difficult thing to do.
"Really? There are contraceptive measures? "Princess Judy blinked her big shining eyes and asked curiously.
"Children shouldn't ask too much." Colin didn't explain much. He was thinking that he would have to tell Harrison to pay attention to this point later. If there really was a "human life", it would be really difficult to deal with.
Princess Judy snorted and asked again, "Then with contraceptive measures, can brother and Cathy be together?"
"As long as they don't get married, of course it's up to them," Colin replied casually.
"Okay, I understand." Princess Judy nodded and said no more.
When the song ended, Colin brought the little girl to a stop. He suddenly said, "Harrison sent you to test me, didn't he?"
Princess Judy's body trembled slightly, and she lowered her head to avoid Colin's gaze. She said guiltily, "Of course not."
Colin smiled faintly and didn't pester the little girl. He let go of her and let her run away.
Just as Colin was about to talk to Prince Harrison, Queen Aisha suddenly walked over.
Colin grabbed Aisha's hand and was about to explain, but Aisha had already handed him a letter. She lowered her voice and said, "Don't worry.
"I just received the letter from Austere City."
Colin hurriedly took the letter and opened it. Then, his expression changed instantly.
Seeing this, Aisha asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Colin handed the letter over. Aisha took it and found that there was only a simple sentence on it —
There are changes in the Western Region. Return quickly!
And there was no signature or emblem.
As if seeing Aisha's doubts, Colin explained softly, "This is Archbishop Ajani's handwriting."
Aisha nodded and asked, "What's going on in the Western Region? Is there a problem with the orc expedition army? "
"I'm afraid so." Colin's heart was a little heavy.
When he was in Imperial Dragon City, he knew that the Western Region had sent an expedition army to the orc territory. But at that time, whether it was the royal family or the prime minister, they were full of confidence in this expedition and didn't even send an army to support.
But unexpectedly, something happened.
The orcs on the west side of the Broken Sky Mountains were definitely a great threat to the Radiant Empire, especially when they completed the unification and successfully formed the Orc Empire.
Although Vera and Marquis García hadn't sent a letter yet, Colin knew that Ajani wouldn't joke about this kind of thing. Moreover, the Church's speed of obtaining information was definitely faster than the Lord's.
So, Colin knew that he couldn't stay in Silverymoon City for long.
Queen Aisha also thought of this and asked, "The plan against the Eastern Region … Is that it?"
Colin pondered for a moment and gritted his teeth. "No! We've been preparing for this for so long. How can we give up at the last minute?
What's more, I've said long ago that we must settle this account with the House of Saint Prospero! "
Aisha frowned and advised, "But if the orcs are really about to invade, I'm afraid the timing isn't too good …"
"It doesn't matter, let's end this quickly!" Colin immediately made up his mind. "Moreover, the orc invasion is an excellent reason to confuse the Eastern Region."
"But before, we pretended to be leisurely to lure the Eastern Region. If we suddenly show urgency now, the Eastern Region will definitely realize that there's a problem."
Colin pondered for a moment. Suddenly, he saw Prince Harrison holding Cathy's hand as they walked onto the dance floor. He smiled and said,
"I have an idea."
