When Colin held Grace's hand and walked into the dining hall, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Although it was said to be everyone, there were actually only three people:
Prince Harrison, Princess Judy, and the current head of the Bruggan Family — Viscounts Grimm.
As for the maids and servants in the dining hall, they did not dare to stare at Colin and Grace.
Of course, someone as thick-skinned as Colin would not care about other people's gazes, but the girl beside him could not help but lower her head shyly. However, her hands were still wrapped around Colin's arm, and she did not let go.
Originally, Viscounts Grimm was using an extremely flattering posture to get close to Prince Harrison, and no one knew what he was saying. Now that he saw his father's murderer walk in, the Viscounts Grimm immediately shut his mouth.
But then, his gaze was fixed on his sister, who was radiant like a flower bud blooming after the spring rain, and the expression on his face became extremely complicated —
Anger, shame, hatred, jealousy …
And he also thought that if this matter were to reach the ears of the House of Saint Prospero, then wouldn't the marriage between his sister and the Earl Of Avon be ruined …
However, when Colin's gaze turned over, the Viscounts Grimm immediately lowered his head as if he had been electrocuted, and focused on the food in front of him, as if he would not have to face the cruel reality by doing so.
"Greetings, Teacher!" Prince Harrison and Princess Judy stood up and bowed, their faces full of mischievous smiles.
Colin smiled and nodded at the two students, and then sat down at the main seat. The maids at the side immediately brought in cutlery and napkins.
The long table was filled with a sumptuous breakfast — stewed grouse with mushrooms, steamed white salmon, grilled steak, cream pies, white bread, milk, and some vegetables and nuts.
The Bruggan Family's chef was very good at cooking. The color of the food was enticing, and the aroma was overflowing, which whetted Colin's appetite.
After drinking a mouthful of milk, Colin opened his mouth to speak to the Viscounts Grimm, who was hiding at the side and pretending to be invisible.
"Viscounts Grimm, in about two hours, the Blood Cavalry will leave Tinder City, you can also prepare."
Viscounts Green tried his best to suppress the humiliation in his heart. He forced a smile on his face and said, "Alright, Count Angele. I'll prepare a grand farewell ceremony for you …"
"Farewell ceremony?" Colin was stunned for a moment before he shook his head and said, "No, you misunderstood. I want you to prepare your own luggage and come with us later. "
Viscounts Green was dumbfounded.
After regaining his senses, the young Viscounts began to tremble again.
He didn't know if it was because of fear or anger.
"What? You're not happy? "Colin raised his eyebrows.
Viscounts Green trembled even more violently, as if he was having a stroke. The knife and fork in his hand knocked against the plate, making clanking sounds.
"Puchi!"
Princess Judy couldn't help but cover her mouth and snicker. Apparently, she was amused by Viscounts Green's appearance.
Viscounts Green took a few deep breaths and tried to adjust his state of mind. Only then did the trembling of his body slightly lessen. But when he opened his mouth, he still revealed his fear.
"Earl, Earl … You … You … What do you mean …"
"What else can it mean?" Colin's heart also despised this cowardly Viscounts to the extreme. His tone also became impolite, "Now that you're my captive, do you still want to continue to stay in Tinder City?"
"Captive … Captive?" Viscounts Green's face turned pale in an instant. He then pointed at Grace and said without thinking, "You can take my sister away …"
Hearing this, Grace didn't even raise her head and continued to elegantly cut the beef on the plate.
Colin sneered and said, "Viscounts Green, pushing your sister out as a captive, is this your responsibility as a knight and as the patriarch of the Brugen Family?"
"Isn't she already your lover?" Viscounts Green shouted, "I … I still have to stay and preside over the overall situation of Tinder City. And, and, and, if I go with you, then who will inherit the Brugen Family's title …"
Colin rolled his eyes and said in a bad mood, "I don't care who inherits the Brugen Family's title, now I just want to take my captive away!"
After saying that, he no longer paid attention to Viscounts Green who was still shouting. He reached out his hand and clapped heavily twice.
Then, three Blood Cavalry soldiers walked in.
Colin waved his hand, as if he was driving away a fly, "Viscounts Green is too slow to pack up, you guys go and help him speed up."
"Yes!"
"Earl, I'm willing to pledge my loyalty to you, I'm willing to pledge my loyalty to you! Sister, sister, help me beg Earl Angele, help me … "
No matter how Viscounts Green begged for mercy, Colin looked indifferent.
Grace also didn't say anything, as if she didn't hear her brother's cry for help.
The poor Viscounts Green was forcibly dragged out by the Blood Cavalry soldiers just like that. That embarrassing appearance made the Brugen Family's attendants couldn't help but lament in their hearts.
Earl Brugen was also a person of importance, but how could he have such a useless son …
Princess Judy looked at this scene with great interest. Suddenly, she moved to Grace's ear and whispered a few words.
Then, the two began to chatter, and no one knew what they were discussing.
Colin glanced at the two, and didn't find it strange.
After all, Grace had once stayed in Phoenix Palace for a whole year, so it wasn't strange that she was familiar with Princess Judy.
Although Prince Harrison was very curious about what his sister and Grace were discussing, he didn't dare to ask when he saw Grace's face that was as red as a ripe apple. He could only focus on eating the food in front of him.
Colin stuffed the last piece of steak into his mouth and drank all the milk. He picked up the napkin to wipe his mouth, and stood up, saying,
"Harrison, Judy, hurry up and pack up after you two are done eating. We're about to set off."
"Yes, Teacher!" Prince Harrison immediately responded.
Princess Judy smiled and asked, "Teacher, is Sister Grace really not coming with us?"
Colin shook his head and said, "Grace has other things to do."
"Alright." Princess Judy pouted unhappily, as if she really wanted Grace to replace that boring and annoying Viscounts Green.
Seeing Colin walk out, Grace hurriedly put down her knife and fork and got up to follow him.
Colin waited for her to come up, and asked, "After I leave, you should be able to control the situation in Tinder City, right?"
"Yes." Grace nodded eagerly. "As long as Green isn't around, I'm the first in line to inherit the Brugen Family's title. No one can challenge my position."
But then, she said hesitantly, "But … I'm afraid the Duke of Saint Prospero might not be willing to give me the title so easily …"
Colin smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, I'll make him willing."
"Okay!" Grace smiled sweetly and hugged her lover's arm.
