Colin knew that Prince Okamoto had come to the Northern Frontier to ask for peace.
As the defeated party, if Okamoto wanted the Northern Frontier to agree to the peace talks, he would have to compromise and lower his stance.
However, he did not expect that the other party would actually lower his stance so much.
He was almost kneeling on the ground.
It was as if the Duke Of St. Hilde did not forgive them because it would damage the knight's virtue of forgiveness.
But to be honest, Colin felt that this young Troll Prince was quite smart.
This was because the troll empire had already suffered heavy losses. Three hundred thousand elite soldiers had been wiped out, and the trolls wouldn't be able to recover without three to five years of rest.
As the Troll Empire's biggest enemy, the Northern Frontier would definitely not let go of such a good opportunity. They would definitely not let the Troll Empire recover.
Therefore, in Colin's opinion, this peace talks were just wishful thinking on the part of the Troll Empire.
But who would have thought that Prince Okamoto would actually be so crazy?
Since he could not fight against the Northern Frontier, then he might as well not fight.
He gave away all the military outposts on his border because he wanted to tell the Duke Of St. Hilde that he was no longer a threat to him.
I'm no longer a threat to you. Please don't beat me up again.
It had to be said that this was a crazy choice.
However, it might really be able to move the Duke Of St. Hilde's heart.
In particular, Colin was very clear that the biggest threat in the eyes of the Duke Of St. Hilde was actually Marquis García, his brother who had just been betrayed by him.
Would the Duke agree to the peace talks with the Troll Empire and focus on solving the internal conflicts?
The atmosphere of the banquet suddenly became a little heavy.
Vera was also a little helpless at this time. She could only look at the Duke Of St. Hilde with a pleading look.
The Duke put down the wine glass in his hand and said in a low voice, "Prince Okamoto, this gift of yours seems a little too expensive."
Prince Okamoto shook his head with a smile. "Your Excellency, how can this be considered valuable? In fact, I even feel that such a gift is not worthy of Miss Vera's status at all!
Therefore, I have decided to solemnly promise you that while I am the Southern Prince of the Giant Demon Empire, I will not take the initiative to start a war with the Northern Frontier! "
"Whoosh —"
The entire audience was in an uproar. Everyone was shocked by the 'generosity' of this Giant Demon Prince.
The Duke Of St. Hilde looked at Okamoto with bright eyes. "Is this your gift?"
"Yes." Prince Okamoto placed his left hand on his chest before he bowed deeply to the Duke Of St. Hilde. "This is also the betrothal gift that I would like to give to Miss Vera!"
"Whoosh —"
This time, the crowd reacted even more strongly, as if they had poked a hornet's nest.
The male nobles who were bent on pursuing Vera glared at the Troll Prince angrily. They could not wait to kick the Troll Prince to the ground and curse at him.
Do you think you are worthy?
Vera's small face instantly turned red.
Then, her face gradually turned white.
This was because she saw that her father did not reject Prince Okamoto's request immediately. Instead, he was deep in thought, as if he was really considering the feasibility of this matter!
Vera panicked.
She did not want to marry someone who was thousands of miles away in the Firmament Ice Field, let alone marry a giant demon!
In a panic, she subconsciously looked for a reliable figure in the crowd …
Colin also saw Vera's pleading eyes.
Originally, he was still a little hesitant.
After all, he was just a Viscounts. It was actually a little bit too much for him to marry the Duke's adopted daughter.
Originally, he had planned to find an opportunity to make some military achievements and raise the rank of the Angele family again before he came to propose marriage.
However, when he saw Vera's big watery eyes looking at him, Colin made up his mind.
He could not hesitate any longer.
Otherwise, who knew if the Duke would be moved by Prince Okamoto's offer and marry Vera to the Firmament Ice Field?
One had to know that this was absolutely not impossible.
Vera was not the Duke's biological daughter. More than ten years ago, he had personally sent her to Yevel. Therefore, he did not have any qualms about sending her to the Firmament Ice Field now.
Perhaps, the Duke could not wait to send Vera away at this time.
After all, she was a threat to the smooth succession of the Dukes Of The North.
Therefore, Colin took a few steps forward and said, "Duke …"
"Duke! Please forgive me for offending you! "
Just as Collin opened his mouth to speak, someone actually took the initiative to step forward.
This person was the half-elf prince that Colin had met at the entrance of Chilly Winter City, Tupe Modiwen!
Prince Tupé strode over to the Duke and stood side by side with Prince Okamoto.
"I think that you should not agree to this marriage!"
Colin blinked as he had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Why?" The Duke Of St. Hilde's tone was emotionless.
"Because I think that I am more suitable to be Miss Vera's husband!"
"What?!"
Sure enough!
Colin, who had already guessed what the half-elf prince was going to say, snorted coldly.
At the same time, he was complaining in his heart. Why are you guys so eager to snatch the woman that I like?
"Hahaha." The Duke suddenly laughed. "Vera, now that the Troll Prince and the half-elf Prince want to marry you, who do you want to marry?"
Vera blushed as she shook her head and said, "Father, I do not want to get married yet."
The Duke shook his head and insisted, "Don't say such childish things. You will eventually get married. Why? Are you not interested in either of them? "
Vera had an awkward expression on her face as she wrung her hands together uneasily. She did not know how to answer this question.
Queen Mydella suddenly smiled and suggested, "Vera, if you are in a difficult position, why don't you let them use the most ancient and most traditional ceremony — a duel to decide who will marry you?"
As soon as they heard this, the atmosphere in the scene suddenly rose.
Two nobles were dueling over the ownership of a beautiful girl. Was there anything more exciting than this?
All the male nobles from the Northern Frontier who wanted to pursue Vera also gave up at this time.
After all, the two men who stood up to propose at this time were of very high status.
Among the nobles from the Northern Frontier who were present, it was really difficult to find a competitor whose status, age, and appearance matched the two of them.
It was no wonder.
This was because the noble circle in the Northern Frontier had just undergone a round of purging.
In the past, there might have been a few nobles who could stand up at this time, but they were all beheaded by the Duke.
For a time, the noble circle in the Northern Frontier had a shortage of young people.
However, if these two "foreigners" really plucked the most delicate and noble flower in the Northern Frontier, then it would be an insult to the Northern Frontier.
Thinking of this, many people turned their eyes to Colin.
Although this Viscount Angley's title was not high and he was not very famous.
After all, he had danced with Vera before. Maybe he had a chance …
Colin also understood at this time that he had to stand up.
If he really let Vera marry someone else, he was afraid that he would regret it for the rest of his life.
And Marquis García would probably hunt him down for the rest of his life.
So, Colin took a deep breath, strode forward, and said loudly, "Duke …"
"Bang!"
However, the moment Colin opened his mouth, an accident happened again.
Marquis Adams suddenly fell to the ground with a pale face and his whole body twitched!
Screams sounded from all directions.
The banquet was suddenly in a mess!
Only Colin had a stomach full of words, and he was in a mess in the wind …
Can't you let me propose properly?
