"What?"
Colin finally broke free from the softness, strode to the door of the living room, and asked in a deep voice,
"What's going on?"
"Sir, just now, a powerful female knight suddenly rushed into the city, killed several people, and rescued Saint Prospero. We are searching for their whereabouts in the city. "
"Female knight?"
"Yes, sir. She's wearing gorgeous armor and holding a huge broadsword. It's said that she's a powerful fifth step knight. "
"It should be Miss Anna Saint Prospero." Grace also came over with a blush on her face. It was hard to tell whether it was regret or relief in her expression.
But no matter what, since the Earl Of Avon was rescued, she did not have to kill a Saint Prospero with her own hands.
Grace quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Anna Saint Prospero?" Colin repeated the name and couldn't help but think of the valiant female knight he saw in Silvermoon City two years ago.
At that time, she left a deep impression on Colin. He didn't expect to meet her again.
But, why did the youngest daughter of the Duke of Saint Prospero come to Tinder City at this time?
"Is she alone?" Colin asked again.
"Yes."
Evan was rescued by a woman?
Colin resisted the urge to curse.
Because he knew that he couldn't blame his subordinates for being too careless. After all, the Blood Cavalry had just entered the city and was busy stabilizing the situation in the city. Coupled with the serious lack of military strength, they really couldn't guard the Earl Of Avon strictly.
"Continue to search and find them both."
"Yes!"
The messenger immediately took the order and left.
However, Colin didn't have much hope.
First of all, with the strength of the Blood Cavalry, it was impossible to search the entire city wantonly. Moreover, he couldn't stay in Tinder City for long. Continuing to march south to White Dew City was his real purpose.
It seemed that the Earl Of Avon was destined to slip away from his hands.
Fortunately, this didn't affect Colin's original plan too much. However, for this Grace before him …
"Are you relieved?" Colin turned around and looked at the girl with a teasing expression.
Grace nodded honestly and said, "That's right. Whether it's his identity as a direct descendant of the House of Saint Prospero or my fiancé, it's hard for me to do anything to him. "
Colin shrugged and said, "Then you've lost a precious opportunity."
After saying this, Colin strode out without any hesitation.
"Your Lordship!"
Grace pitifully called out from behind, as if she was a pitiful girl who had just been abandoned by a scumbag.
Colin turned around and smiled politely. "Miss Grace, without the Earl Of Avon, you and I will not have the opportunity to build trust. Therefore, I will continue to be your father's murderer."
Grace puffed up her chest and bit her red lips. She said pitifully, "Is there no other way for you to trust me?"
Colin shook his head firmly.
He wasn't an animal who thought with his lower body. He wouldn't easily change his principles for beauty.
If Grace could prove her sincerity and complete the binding of interests with the Northern Frontier, then Colin wouldn't mind having one more lover in Tinder City. Especially if it was a pretty girl.
But now, Colin didn't want to complicate matters.
Seeing that Colin wasn't moved, Grace immediately said, "Please wait a moment!"
Colin didn't intend to continue entangling with this girl. But when he saw the movement of Grace's hand from the corner of his eye, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He saw her slender hand raised to her chest with her palm facing inwards. Her fingers were intertwined, forming a lotus-like handprint.
This handprint … … Colin had seen it before!
Just half a year ago in Imperial Dragon City, when he and Empress Mydella were "honest with each other" and formed an alliance, Empress Mydella had told him that if he saw this handprint again, it would be someone he could trust.
Of course, Colin didn't have much trust in Empress Mydella herself.
But when he found out that the Brugen family was actually a chess piece of the Imperial family in the Eastern Region, his interest was immediately piqued.
"I suddenly want to taste your flower tea again."
Grace smiled sweetly and said, "It's my honor!"
The two returned to the living room and sat down.
It was the same flower tea, the same fragrance, the same girl who brewed the tea, but the atmosphere was completely different.
Colin took the silver teacup Grace brought over and took a sip. He closed his eyes and savored the taste for a while. He opened his eyes again and said,
"Were you testing me just now?"
Grace shook her head in grievance and said, "Why would I test you?"
"Then why didn't you reveal your identity at the beginning?"
"Because I wasn't sure if you were an ally of Her Highness the Empress."
"Didn't she tell you that I was a member of the alliance?"
"No. The Empress didn't tell me about any of the alliance members. I just saw that you were targeting the Eastern Region and guessed that you might be an ally of Her Highness the Empress, so I made this handprint to test it out. "
Colin was stunned. He realized that although Empress Mydella had told him about this handprint and the existence of such an alliance, she had never mentioned any of the alliance members.
Originally, Colin thought that this was because the Empress was wary of him, but now it seemed that he wasn't treated specially. The other alliance members also didn't know of each other's existence, they only knew of the Empress!
Therefore, Empress Mydella became the key person to maintain this alliance. Without her, no one would be able to recognize their allies.
Grace looked at Colin who was deep in thought and couldn't help but ask, "Sir Count, what are you thinking about?"
Colin raised his head and asked the question in his heart, "Since the Brugen family is an ally of the Empress, why did the Fire Velvet Army fight to the death with me?"
Grace slowly shook her head and said, "Sir Count, you misunderstood. Father shouldn't be an ally of the Empress. In the Brugen family, I'm afraid that I'm the only one. "
Colin thought about it carefully and felt that this was indeed the case.
If Empress Mydella could already control Count Brugen, or even the entire Brugen family, then the royal family wouldn't have to be so afraid of the Eastern Region.
One must know that with the important position of Fire Velvet City and the powerful fighting strength of the Fire Velvet Army (compared to the Eastern Region's army), they could easily divide the Eastern Region into two. Plus, with the royal family fanning the flames, it wouldn't be difficult for the Eastern Region to fall into civil strife.
Thinking of this, Colin asked again, "Since the Brugen family is still loyal to the House of Saint Prospero, then why are you willing to serve Empress Mydella?"
Grace didn't answer this question, but asked in return, "Sir Count, why are you willing to ally with Her Highness the Empress?"
She has something on me!
Colin thought to himself.
But then, he came to a realization.
So that's why.
Colin suddenly laughed and said, "Miss Grace, what does Her Highness the Empress have on you?"
