Under the guidance of the butler, Eamon, a young troll walked through a long corridor and arrived at the inner courtyard of the Red Castle.
This troll seemed to be entering a human castle for the first time. He looked around curiously along the way.
Eamon stopped outside a room and nodded to the young troll. He made an inviting gesture and said, "Mr. Messenger, the Viscounts is waiting for you in the study."
"Okay." The troll smiled, adjusted his collar, and pushed the door open.
Colin happened to look up, but he didn't get up. He just smiled and said, "Welcome, Mr. Messenger. Please take a seat."
"Honorable Viscount Angley, thank you for your hospitality!" The young troll didn't mind Colin's rudeness and was still smiling.
The maid walked in quietly, placed a cup of coffee on the table in front of the troll, and then left.
"Try it. It's the Su Duo Family's treasured coffee. " Colin made an inviting gesture and said, "This is one of the few things they left behind that I like."
The troll first picked up the mug and sniffed it before putting it into his mouth. He closed his eyes and slowly savored the taste.
The whole process was elegant and calm. It seemed that he was a troll noble in a high position.
"Rich fruity aroma, bold and unrestrained acidity. This should be the premium Yega coffee from the Sidamo region."
Colin was stunned. He didn't expect this troll to be a coffee expert.
"You're amazing. You can even taste this!" Although he didn't know if the troll was right, Colin couldn't show his fear now. He immediately pretended that he knew very well.
At the same time, he cursed in his heart. Didn't they say that trolls only knew how to fight and kill?
Why is this one so pretentious?
The young troll took another sip of coffee. There was a hint of nostalgia in his reserved expression.
"More than a thousand years ago, the Hidamo area was still our family's territory. Haha, now that I think about it, it does have the taste of my hometown."
Colin was slightly surprised and asked curiously, "May I know your name?"
The young troll stood up and made a standard human noble bow. "My name is Gunben Volkin, son of Gunbik Volkin, Southern Prince of the Troll Empire …"
"Pu!"
Colin, who was drinking coffee, spat it out.
"Ahem, I'm sorry! I choked … "
Colin picked up his handkerchief and lowered his head to wipe off the water stains on his body. He didn't want the other party to see the unconcealable smile on his face.
Okamoto?
Why aren't you called Durex?
After wiping for a while, Colin finally controlled his facial expression and sat back down.
Although Okamoto wondered why Colin suddenly lost his composure after hearing his name, he was too embarrassed to ask.
"I didn't expect that Your Highness the Prince would personally go to the Northern Frontier. I've neglected you, neglected you …"
Although Colin said that, his body was still leaning loosely against the back of the chair. He didn't seem to care about the troll prince at all.
Of course, Okamoto wouldn't be angry. At least, he wouldn't show it.
After all, the anger of the loser was completely meaningless in front of the winner.
"No, this is what I should do. Over the years, the troll empire and the Northern Frontier have fought more and more, causing both sides to suffer disastrous losses. Every time I think of my comrades who died on the frontlines, my heart aches!
Sigh!
I'm sure that you and the Duke Of St. Hilde are the same as me. We don't want to see the war continue!
That's why I came to the Northern Frontier this time with a longing for peace and a yearning for friendship between both sides … "
Okamoto was still giving an impassioned speech, and Colin already understood the other party's intentions.
Don't be fooled by the pompous words of the troll empire's new Southern Prince, saying that he didn't want to see the war continue …
In fact, he had come to ask for peace because he couldn't win.
Colin rubbed his chin, wondering if the Duke Of St. Hilde would agree to this request.
Now that the troll army had been destroyed, they were no longer able to resist the invasion of the Northern Frontier. Would the Duke give up such a good opportunity to pursue the victory?
Even if there was no value in occupying the Blue Ice Field, they could still take advantage of this opportunity to plunder the troll empire and prevent them from recuperating.
Just as Colin was daydreaming, a name that came out from Okamoto's mouth suddenly pulled him back to reality.
"What? Vera? Did you mention Miss Vera just now? "As soon as he heard Vera's name, Colin immediately recovered.
"Yes." Okamoto lowered his head and replied in a deep voice.
The Viscounts in front of him had been rude to him time and time again, and he was about to lose control of his inner anger.
However, he took a deep breath and regained his smile before he explained patiently.
"I was just saying that I heard that the Duke's adopted daughter, Miss Vera, is about to have her coming of age ceremony. So, I also prepared a gift for her. I want to take this opportunity to get to know Miss Vera."
Colin narrowed his eyes as he sensed that something was wrong.
"Oh? Is that so? I also received an invitation to Miss Vera's coming of age ceremony two days ago. Then, let's set off for Winter City together tomorrow. "
"It would be my pleasure."
At this point, Colin was already wary of the young Prince of the Troll Empire.
This was because he felt that the other party might have designs on Vera.
Was this guy here to have a peace talk or was he here to get married?
Just as Colin was about to ask him to leave, Prince Okamoto suddenly noticed the [Blade of Judgement] hanging on the wall.
He stared at it for a long time, and there was a flash of disbelief in his eyes. "Sir Viscounts, may I ask? Is that knight's sword the [Blade of Judgement]? "
"Yes. It was given to me by the Duke during his conferment. "
The expression on Prince Okamoto's face suddenly became very strange.
There was envy, reverence, and a trace of sympathy …
Just as Colin felt that the prince's gaze was a little strange, Prince Okamoto suddenly smiled and said, "Sir Viscounts, I don't know if you have heard of His Highness Otto Volkin."
"Otto?" Colin shook his head.
He had never heard of this name before, but he knew that this was also a member of the Troll Empire.
"His Highness Otto is my uncle and the Northern Prince of the Troll Empire. He has recently successfully entered the Sanctuary-realm! "
Colin frowned as he did not know why Okamoto suddenly mentioned this, but he still congratulated him perfunctorily, "Oh, is that so? Then, congratulations to you. The Troll Empire finally has another Paladin. "
"Yes! After a hundred years, the empire has finally given birth to another Paladin! " Okamoto's smile became brighter. "However, after my uncle successfully advanced to the Sanctuary-realm, he said that he would soon have another duel with the owner of the [Blade of Judgement]!
We will wipe away the disgrace of the previous emperor, His Majesty Leo! "
"…" Colin was dumbfounded.
A Paladin wanted to duel with him?
Could it be that the Duke Of St. Hilde had given him this sword because of this?
This was a huge wok falling from the sky!
