Prince Tupé had never hated anyone so much before.
At this time, facing Vera's slender hand, the half-elf prince had no choice but to turn around and look at the man who had objected to the marriage.
Colin Viscount Angley.
After hearing Colin's voice, Vera's face that was as pale as a sheet of paper regained its luster.
Her large blue eyes stared fixedly at Colin, filled with longing and apprehension. She was looking forward to her own redemption.
"Colin, why are you objecting to this marriage?" The Duke Of St. Hilde asked in a cold tone.
Colin walked out of the crowd and walked in front of the Duke Of St. Hilde calmly.
After bowing respectfully, he said in a firm tone, "Duke, I have admired Miss Vera for a long time. Therefore, I sincerely hope that you can give me a chance to fulfill my long-cherished wish!"
As soon as Colin finished speaking, before the Duke Of St. Hilde could say anything, Prince Tupé, who was next to him, jumped out like a wild cat.
"Let's duel! Viscount Angley! Let us decide who is qualified to marry Miss Vera in a man's way! "
Immediately after that, a white glove was thrown at Colin's feet.
Colin raised his eyebrows and secretly complained. Do you nobles always carry white gloves with you?
This was the second time that he had been invited to a duel.
The last time, it was that crazy woman, Cynthia.
At that time, Colin did not pick up her glove.
However, this time, Colin knew that he could not back down.
However, just as he was about to bend down and pick up Prince Tupé's white glove, the Duke Of St. Hilde reminded him, "Colin, you have to think carefully. Prince Tupé is a third-order knight."
Half-elves were mixed-blood between humans and elves. They could choose the human's special profession, Knight, or the elven's special profession, Ranger.
But in the current world, the humans had established the Radiant Empire, while the elves had disappeared into the depths of the Radiant Moon Forest. It was easy to guess the half-elf nobles' choice.
Most of them had chosen to serve the God of Light, so it was not strange that Prince Tupé was a knight.
However, he was actually a knight of the third step!
For a Half-elf Prince of his age, he was definitely a genius.
However, Colin did not feel guilty.
He was also Stage 3 now!
Moreover, he had an immortal body, which was a huge advantage in a duel.
Thus, Colin's lips curled into a cold smile, "Your Excellency the Duke, I've thought it through. I'm willing to accept Prince Tupé's duel invitation. For the sake of Miss Vera, I will not hesitate to sacrifice my life for her! "
However, just as Colin's hand was about to touch the white gloves on the ground, Vera suddenly stopped him.
"No! Colin, don't do this! "
Although Colin felt that he had the confidence to defeat Prince Tupé, the others did not feel the same way.
This was especially true for Vera.
As far as she could remember, Colin was only a first-grade knight. Therefore, she certainly did not want Colin to accept Tupé's duel invitation.
That was simply courting death.
"Miss Vera, please don't worry about me …"
Colin tried to reassure Vera, but Vera did not believe him.
In fact, this simple female mage really believed that Colin was willing to die for her.
After all, Colin had done the same thing during the battle at the Rapids River.
Therefore, Vera, who felt as if a knife was being twisted in her heart, suddenly made a decision.
She decided that this time, she would save her knight!
"Father, I am willing to marry Prince Tupé! Please stop this meaningless duel! "
As soon as he heard Vera's words, Colin, who had just picked up the white gloves, was stunned.
Can't you have a little more confidence in me?!!!
Colin screamed in his heart.
"Okay." The Duke Of St. Hilde finally smiled.
Prince Tupé was also ecstatic.
The half-elf prince's emotions were like a roller coaster ride, going up and down, with great ups and downs.
However, in the end, Vera still chose him.
Therefore, Prince Tupé did not even need the Duke Of St. Hilde to stop him. Instead, he immediately said to Colin, who was holding the white gloves in a daze.
"Viscount Angele, I'm impressed by your bravery. You've won this duel. "
A strong sense of humiliation shrouded Colin's entire body.
The other party's benevolent attitude completely angered him.
He took a big step forward and approached Prince Tupé before he asked, "What do you mean by 'I have won'? If I win, then shouldn't you take the initiative to withdraw from your pursuit of Vera? "
"Of course not. Miss Vera has already made her choice, and I, of course, respect her choice. "
"Bullshit!" Colin threw the white gloves directly at Prince Tupé's face. "If you are a man, then fight with me!"
Prince Tupé was also angry.
In the face of Colin who did not know what was good for him, he also took a step forward and shouted, "Okay! Let's duel then, Viscount Angley! "
"No!" Vera suddenly rushed out and stood between the two men who looked like they were fighting.
However, the interesting thing was that she was facing Colin instead of Prince Tupé, the fiancé that she had personally chosen.
"Colin, don't do this. I am not worthy of your sacrifice … "
Colin looked deeply into Vera's eyes before he asked in a deep voice, "Don't you believe in me?"
"I …"
"If you believe in me, then please move aside."
Colin was full of confidence but in Vera's eyes, he was full of generosity.
"No! I will not move aside! "
Prince Tupé, who was standing behind Vera, was furious at this time.
No matter how slow he was, he could tell that his fiancée had chosen to marry him because she wanted to protect Colin.
They were not even married yet, but she had already been cuckolded …
Prince Tupé could not stand such humiliation and he immediately shouted, "Miss Vera, please move aside! Let the men solve their own problems! "
"Enough!"
A majestic voice interrupted the love triangle that was in the middle of a melodramatic plot.
The Duke Of St. Hilde strode over to Colin before he asked, "Viscount Angley, are you still loyal to me?"
In the face of such a question, Colin had no choice but to kneel down on one knee before he replied, "Of course, I am still loyal to you, Duke!"
"Good! Now, I will appoint you as the envoy to escort Vera to the half-elf kingdom so that she can marry Prince Tupé! "
Colin's heart trembled, and he fell silent.
At this time, he could also see that the Duke was determined to marry Vera to the half-elf kingdom.
As for why?
Obviously, the death of Marquis Adams had frightened the Duke.
He could not help but suspect that this was the doing of his younger brother, Marquis García. Marquis García's purpose was to get rid of the heir before Vera so that Vera could become the future Lord of the Northern Frontier.
Therefore, the Duke had to send Vera away at this time.
He wanted her to be far away from Winter City and it would be best if she could marry into a foreign country and give birth to a foreign descendant so that she would have no right to inherit the title of the Duke!
As for Vera's feelings, it was obvious that the Duke did not care about them at all.
Perhaps, to him, Vera was just a tool for marriage.
When he saw that Colin did not speak for a long time, the Duke asked again, "Viscount Angley? Where is your loyalty? Where is your unconditional obedience? "
The Duke was pressing him step by step and Colin had no choice but to suppress his anger. He lowered his head and replied, "Yes, Duke. I will send Miss Vera to the half-elf kingdom safely!"
At this time, Colin could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.
What bullshit Duke!
What bullshit loyalty!
All he wanted now was to completely burn down this cold and ruthless place that was full of conspiracies and conspiracies.
You want to win over the half-elf kingdom?
You want to destroy Vera's right to inherit the title of the Duke?
Haha!
But I will not let you get what you want!
Colin suddenly raised his head and looked at Marquis García who was sitting on the high platform and watching everything coldly.
The two of them looked at each other and it seemed as if they had finally reached some kind of tacit understanding.
