Chapter 38： Banquet (Part 2)

Accompanied by melodious music, on the dance floor of the banquet hall, couples of men and women danced gracefully.

They danced the most orthodox court dance of the Glorious Empire.

is somewhat similar to the Viennese Waltz on Earth.

Male and female dancers need to leverage each other to complete a series of reflexes, swings, and rotations harmoniously and lightly at extremely fast speeds. The dance steps are brisk, smooth, and elegant.

In such a rapid rotation, everything around will become blurred, only the face of the opposite partner in the arms is clearly visible.

spin, spin, spin again.

As if to turn to the old world with the person in my arms.

But the music will eventually end.

The song is over.

Colin took Vera, who was as light as boneless, to complete the last round.

Then reluctantly retracted the right hand resting on Vera's smooth back, stepped back slightly, and leaned over to salute.

"Thank you, Miss Vera, this is the most memorable dance I ever danced!"

Vera's face was still flushing, and she gasped slightly, as if she hadn't recovered from the dance just now.

When she heard Colin's flattery, she smiled slyly: "Knight Colin, how do I feel that you have said this to many girls."

Colin raised his head without panic.

He knew very well that at this time, what he should do is not to defend, but to attack.

then smiled and said: "Please believe me, from now on, I will only say similar things to you!"

Sure enough, Colin's slightly blunt words made Vera suddenly uncomfortable.

"Flavorful words!" Vera gave Colin angrily, but there was a shameful smile on her face.

At this time, Colin could already feel the "killing" gazes around him.

Obviously, after successfully becoming Vera's first dance partner, Colin naturally became the public enemy of the male nobles present.

However, he obviously doesn't care.

Vera, this "big thick leg", he is holding on!

Because, he has seen the figure of Count Uman in the crowd.

The fear of being assassinated instantly enveloped Colin's heart, and he had to find ways to raise his own worth and let the other party throw a rat.

After sending Vera back to the Marquis Garcia, Colin bid farewell politely.

He understands the truth that it's too late, and it's a foolish act to wrap around Vera at this time.

Before he could go far, a young man stood in front of Colin.

Huh?

Did the supporting actor who was sent up for a face-slap come out so soon?

Colin thought wildly while smiling politely: "Excuse me, are you?"

The young man sneered coldly: "Knight Colin, I heard you used my identity, why? Don’t you even recognize me?"

Colin suffocated slightly, and immediately realized who this person was in front of him.

No wonder she looks familiar, she looks as annoying as that crazy woman.

is a real sibling.

"It turned out to be Kahn Suduo Knight! Long Yang, Long Yang!" Colin said Long Yang, but there was no respect in his expression.

Kahn apparently saw Colin very upset, and said in a weird manner: "Knight Colin, you said, if the noble Miss Vera knew that the knight who just danced with her was a liar, how would he react?"

Facing Kahn’s threat, Colin shrugged, as if he didn’t care: “You’ll know if you try.”

Kahn's face suddenly sank, as if he was not sure whether Colin was really confident or pretentious.

But before he continued to test, he heard Colin suddenly lowered his voice and said: "However, if I were you, I would first care about your good sister."

"What happened to my sister?"

Seeing the other party got the bait, Colin smiled and provoked:

"You know, your sister Cynthia Knight is the one who really led the army to regain the Ice Rock City. So, according to the rule of the lord, should it be her, not you, who inherited the title of the Sudor family?"

"Bullshit!" Kahn was like a kitten with its tail trampled on its tail, suddenly exploding, "I am the first heir to the Su Duo family!"

"Such words, you'd better keep them in front of the Duke of St. Hilde." Colin stretched his hands and signaled that this matter has nothing to do with him.

Kahn almost couldn't control his anger with such a beating appearance, staring at Colin ferociously, panting heavily.

As if going to beat this extremely hateful guy in front of me.

But soon, Kahn fell silent.

Because a palm was pressed on his shoulder.

Kahn turned his head, his face immediately became very submissive: "Uncle!"

Colin's pupils also shrank instantly, looking at the incoming person—Earl Uman.

"Master Earl." Colin lowered his head carefully, not wanting the other person to see the fear hidden in his eyes.

Earl Uman is a mature and elegant middle-aged man with a faint smile on his face, as if he is polite to everyone.

But his burgundy eyes reveal a hint of coldness from time to time, which shows that the Lord Earl is not a kind old man.

"Colin, I'm so happy to see that you are okay!" Earl Uman also patted Colin on the shoulder, with a heartfelt smile on his face, "I heard that you were assassinated in Greycastle. , What the **** is going on? Who is so bold?"

Colin raised his head, his face has long been replaced with a cordial smile: "The assassin was Knight Carter. As for who instigated him... is still under investigation."

"Carter?" Earl Uman snorted, UU reading angrily said, "That unfamiliar white-eyed wolf is really a shame in the knight world! Don't worry, I will send someone to investigate this matter, if there is anything. The news will definitely inform you."

"Thank you very much, Lord Earl for your help!" Colin looked at the righteous and awe-inspiring Earl, and suddenly felt that his acting skills might not be worse than that of Marquis Charles.

Earl Uman smiled and took care of Colin a few more words, as if he was really a friendly elder.

Colin also dealt with it carefully, as if he had never suspected that his assassination was related to the earl in front of him.

Before leaving, Earl Uman lowered the volume again and asked: "Did you discuss with the Marquis Charles that you want to come to the banquet in armor together?"

"No, it's just a coincidence that I went together." Colin was a little strange, why did the other party suddenly ask this.

Count Uman said with deep meaning: "Oh, that's good. But you have to be careful not to get too close to the Marquis Charles."

"Why?" Colin asked directly.

Count Uman did not answer, but the Kahn knight beside him mocked proudly:

"Idiot! The Marquis Charles suffered such a terrible defeat this time, and ruined 200,000 troops from the North. Don't you need to be responsible for it? You dare to join in..."

"Shut up!" Count Uman groaned.

Kahn Knight suddenly shrank his head and turned into a quail again.

Earl Uman turned his head, and finally said to Colin: "Remember, our allegiance will always be the Duke of St. Hild, not the Marquis."

Looking at the back of Earl Uman, Colin suddenly narrowed his eyes.

Only then did he realize that tonight's banquet seemed to be brewing a dangerous undercurrent.
