As the wedding day of Prince Topaz and Miss Vera approached, the entire Silver Moon City was filled with a festive atmosphere.

The daughter of the Northern Duke!

Even if she was an adopted daughter, she was still the highest-ranking noblewoman ever to be wed into the Modewen royal family.

All the half-elves felt honored by it.

However, this festive atmosphere suddenly had some unpleasant noise mixed in.

Some stories about Miss Vera and Viscount Angler began to circulate quietly in Silver Moon City.

Moreover, these stories were, detailed and coherent, not seemingly fabricated.

Therefore, the public opinion in Silver Moon City began to shift.

With the efforts of some instigators, the half-elf folks no longer looked forward to Miss Vera’s marriage into the royal family as they initially did.

They even began to feel that Prince Topaz should not marry a noblewoman of tainted reputation!

The people of this world always value a woman’s reputation.

After all, without paternity testing technology, how to ensure our descendants are really our bloodline is a headache.

Therefore, to keep their bloodline pure, nobles often demand that the bride-to-be is a virgin.

It is the simplest assurance method, although not necessarily effective.

In fact, many nobles have a virginity verification process before marriage.

However, this process is usually intended for the woman on the weaker side.

For a wedding like Prince Topaz marrying Vera that is obviously a perfect match, the Modewen family would obviously not dare to subject Vera to virginity verification.

Because this process is too impolite.

Some high nobles, when discovering their daughters are pregnant before marriage, to prevent the child from becoming a despised illegitimate child, might deliberately find a lower noble as a scapegoat, and then demand not to carry out virginity verification.

For the Half-Elf Royal family, they absolutely would not want to defile their name with accepting a bad deal like this.

But if they really want to subject Vera to a virginity test, they probably don’t have the guts.

However, as the rumors gradually fermented, becoming wilder and wilder, The Modewen family began to lose control of the situation.

Even many half-elf nobles started to explicitly demand a virginity test for Vera. These half-elf noblemen even had a seemingly noble reason–

Demanding a virginity test was not questioning Miss Vera’s innocence. On the contrary, it was to maintain her reputation and thoroughly shatter these unfounded rumors!

Half-Elf Palace, Colin’s residence.

Duke Miller found Colin enjoying the collected rumors, and was speechless.

Colin was indeed enjoying it.

He found that these rumors were a mix of truth and lies, and they were convincingly made.

For example, they once rode the horse together.

For example, Colin once blocked a spear for Vera risking his life.

And again, the two had been together since they met at Mirror Lake, forming feelings for each other.

Some even said that Colin had asked the Duke to appoint him as the wedding envoy for Vera’s marriage into the Half-Elf Kingdom, intending to personally escort his beloved woman to a foreign land…

In short, if Colin weren’t the man himself, he might have believed such a beautiful love story.

Moreover, these rumors emphasized that he and Vera had been alone numerous times. Although not explicitly mentioned, between the lines, they implied that the two had developed a more than friends relationship.

Well, that was true.

Colin rubbed his chin, laughing.

Seeing Colin still laughing, Duke Miller couldn’t hold back and said:

“Viscount, this matter has spread throughout the city now, some half-elves have even started organizing a rally, demanding a virginity test for Miss Vera, to prove her innocence!”

“Then, test it.” Colin casually answered.

As if there was nothing between him and Vera.

Duke Miller was clearly stunned for a moment, then blinked, and asked with hesitation, “Are…you sure?”

“Of course!” exclaimed Colin righteously, “All these statements questioning

Miss Vera’s purity are baseless slander! Don’t worry, arrange the virginity test. Once the results are out, these rumors will naturally collapse.”

As for these rumors, Colin actually didn’t care at all.

He even thought it was a poor strategy.

If the Modewen family really dared to verify Vera’s virginity and concluded that she was not pure, then Colin would have to admire their courage.

Because this was a slap in the face to the St. Hilde family!

Colin thought it might be a strategy devised by the naive Prince William.

In order not to let his younger brother marry Vera, the means of Prince William were really…indescribable.

However, Colin also thought of another possibility—a conspiracy from the East.

The rumours were likely to be spread by the Eastern Region to force the Modewen family to verify Vera’s virginity, thus offending the St. Hilde family.

In this way, the Half-Elf Kingdom would have to seek help from the East.

Of course, no matter the truth, Colin didn’t care much.

He was actually hoping for the marriage verification to fail so this wedding could be called off.

As for whether Vera was pure or not, Colin had personally “verified” it. How could he not know?

However, just when Colin was contemplating how to take advantage of the situation and sabotage the marriage, he heard Duke Miller speak again:

“Please rest assured, Viscount. I will arrange for a suitable examiner. I will definitely not let Miss Vera suffer any allegations.”

Duke Miller, noticing Colin’s calm demeanor, concluded that he and Vera were innocent.

However, Duke Miller still had doubts, after all, who knew if Vera had a secret lover before Colin.

This matter involved the rise of the Miller family, so Duke Miller certainly couldn’t take it lightly.

Colin also discerned the underlying meaning in Duke Miller’s tone and demeanor and chuckled inwardly.

This old fellow was actually planning some behind-the-scenes maneuvers!

However, this was indeed the best way to deal with the rumors.

Just verify Vera’s virginity and “control” the results, then the rumors will naturally collapse.

So, the choice of the person to verify Vera’s virginity was extremely important. “Who do you plan to appoint to verify Miss Vera’s virginity?”

Duke Miller put on a confident smile: “Please rest assured, we already have the perfect candidate. Given her status and position, she will never disgrace Miss Vera.”

“who?”

“Queen Isa!”

Colin was taken aback, and immediately understood why Duke Miller said she was the best choice.

Whether Miss Vera is pure doesn’t really matter, as long as Queen Isa says she is pure, then she naturally is.

As for the Queen’s verdict?

Does that even need to be asked?

Who would wish more than Queen Isa to see Prince Topaz successfully marry Vera?

Moreover, having Queen Isa verify Vera’s virginity has another benefit.

There’s no need to worry about Prince William objecting to the verifier.

If it were someone else, Prince William’s side would certainly worry about Duke Miller orchestrating a cover-up operation, and even demand someone else perform the verification.

But if it’s Queen Isa, there would be no problem.

In terms of status and position, is there anyone more suitable than Queen Isa to carry out the verification for Miss Vera?

Duke Miller thought that his approach was foolproof. He quickly excused himself from Colin and excitedly went to prepare the verification procedures.

Watching the duke’s receding figure, Colin suddenly remembered the beautiful queen standing amidst the Blood Rose,

And the nonsensical things she said.

Shaking his head, Colin cast the image out of his mind.

The forthcoming verification should just be a formality, and Colin didn’t plan to specifically change his plans for it.

Now, he was waiting for Knight Lyle to lead the Angler family’s army to arrive in Silver Moon City.

According to the timeline, they should be arriving soon.

And Colin’s plan could start now..
