Ta ta ta...
The sound of the crystal shoes stepping on the floor approached Colin, and the wonderful rhythm beat in his heart, making him look back to see who the owner of this sound was.
Then, he saw Queen Midella who was walking towards him with a smile.
"Viscount Angley, can I have the honor to dance with you?"
Facing the invitation of this glamorous queen, Colin's heart was full of warning signs.
This woman is afraid to do something!
"It is my honor to be able to dance with you, but, I'm sorry, your Royal Highness, I have just invited Queen Aisha..."
Who knows that Queen Midella doesn't seem to want to let Colin go so easily. Instead, she turns directly to Queen Aisha and asks with a smile:
"Your Majesty, I wonder if Viscount Anglia can lend me a while?"
"Of course." Queen Aisha had no choice but to respond with a smile, and at the same time gave Colin a self-seeking look.
Clin was speechless for a while, so he walked onto the dance floor of the hall with Queen Midella's jade hand.
The melodious harp is accompanied by a brisk bagpipe, playing an elegant and moving movement.
Colin stood still in the center of the dance floor, staring into Queen Midella's eyes, and put her right hand on her smooth back, pulling her into his arms.
With a charming smile on Queen Midella's beautiful face, she squinted her eyes slightly, allowing Colin to guide herself through one dance step after another.
In the sound of the music, Colin and Queen Midella showed an amazing tacit understanding, as if they had known each other for many years, they performed the graceful court dance to the extreme, which was pleasing to the eye.
In the eyes of everyone admiring and admiring, Queen Midella suddenly whispered: "Viscount Angley, thank you for teaching Harrison."
"You are too polite, Your Royal Highness, this is what I should do." Colin replied neither humble nor arrogant.
Colin now is not the son of the baron who had no power and can only go with the crowd before. With the power he now controls, even in the face of the empire queen, there is no need to bow down and tremble.
What's more, this matter itself was the first thing the queen provoked, and Colin must give a warning and fight back, otherwise, the other party would definitely try to encroach on the half-elf kingdom that Colin regarded as forbidden.
Hearing Colin's answer, Queen Midella was not only not angry, but a perfect smile bloomed.
At this moment, the enchanting temptation revealed by the queen made the noble youths in the hall stunned and fascinated, wishing to replace Viscount Angele and dance with the queen.
However, Queen Midella discovered that although her dance partner Colin had a smile on her face, her eyes were still clear, and she could even detect a trace of hidden vigilance and fear from it.
"Your Excellency, I am not your enemy." Queen Midella said again, "If something before has caused you to misunderstand me, I hope this dance can make you feel my apologies."
"You are serious, Your Royal Highness, I have only respect for you, no misunderstandings." Colin answered casually, slandering inwardly——
Am I such a liar?
Queen Midella's chest twitched, and her entire upper body was attached to Colin's body.
At this time, the distance between the two has exceeded the limit of normal ballroom dancing.
Clin was so excited that he almost stepped on the wrong rhythm. Then, he heard Queen Midella whisper like a lover in his ear:
"Viscount Angley, I'm serious. Your teaching to Harrison actually suits my heart.
To tell you the truth, that is the destiny of the San Lorenzo family for thousands of years. Even if you don't teach him, I will do it sooner or later.
So, my thanks are sincere.
Moreover, if everything you say to Harrison comes from your heart, then we are actually natural allies! "
Colin couldn't help but tilt his head slightly and looked at Queen Midella in his arms.
A pair of dazzling and charming eyes seemed to have breathtaking magic power, which made Colin almost unable to help but indulge in it.
"His Royal Highness, I don't understand what you mean."
Seeing Colin still pretending to be stupid, Queen Midella chuckled.
"Colin..." Queen Midella exhaled in Colin's ear, and her name became extraordinarily intimate, "In fact, the power of this alliance is far beyond your imagination.
Think about it, someday if you want to understand, you can come to me. "
Colin blinked and continued to pretend to be dumb.
My heart is slandered again-
Am I that good to lie? Want me to do my life for you in a few words?
Seeing Colin did not respond to herself, Queen Midella was not discouraged, but smiled again: "As a thank you, I will give you a little secret."
"Please tell me." Colin finally said, wanting to see what other tricks the queen can do.
"Do you know the origin of the sword my brother gave you?"
"Judgment Blade?" Colin moved in his heart and nodded. "Yes, I have some understanding. It is said that it was the sword of Duke St. Theon at first."
"Do you also know the fate of the Saint Theon family?"
"Yes, I heard that the clan has been annihilated."
The smile on Queen Midella's face suddenly became unpredictable: "A paladin family, how can it be so easy to cut off the inheritance."
"Oh?" Colin raised his brows, not too surprised, "Then do you know where they are now?"
Queen Midella didn't answer any more.
When Colin saw this, he didn't ask.
In fact, he didn't have much interest in this family. If it hadn't been given the [Judgment Blade], Colin would never have an intersection with them.
After being silent for a while, Queen Midella suddenly turned her head to look in the direction of Queen Aisha, and smiled: "Someone is showing courtesy to your little lover."
Colin looked over and saw Queen Aisha talking to a young man.
The young man was indeed Lawrence Uman who had just visited Colin yesterday.
Colin smiled slightly and denied: "His Majesty, have you misunderstood something? How could Her Majesty be my lover?"
Queen Midella smiled charmingly, obviously not believing Colin's denial. However, she did not continue to entangle on this topic, but instead asked: "Are the Uman family annoying?"
"His Royal Highness, my sister is married to the Uman family." Colin would not admit that he hated the Uman family.
"Really? I'm sorry, but I just don't like them, especially those red eyes." Queen Midella seemed to mention it inadvertently.
Colin burst into his heart and said in surprise: "St. Theon's family also has red pupils?"
"Yes." Empress Midella suddenly smiled unpredictably.
As if struck by a flash of lightning, Colin's expression instantly solidified.
Queen Midella's lazy voice came again: "Do you know how the wife of Earl Uman from the Sudor family died?"
"How did you die?"
Queen Midella didn't speak anymore.
Colin understood that the other party was deliberately trying to tarnish his appetite, and he estimated that he wanted him to join the so-called "alliance."
Of course he will not be fooled.
However, the information given by the queen just now was enough to make Colin think about it.
The names seemed to be uncontrollable, and they kept coming out of his mind.
The St. Theon family, the Savoy family, the Uman family, the Sudor family...
Earl Uman, Madam Penny, Lawrence, Madame Sudor, Varla...
Colin felt as if he had seen a clue which connected all the previous doubts.
With full concentration, everything around seemed to be far away from him.
Unconsciously, the harp jumped out the last note.
At the end of the song, Colin stopped dancing like a puppet.
But immediately, he felt a pain in his foot.
Looking down, she saw Queen Midella unceremoniously stepping on his feet and smashing them hard, sighing:
"You are distracted by dancing with me, Viscount Angley, you are so rude!"
Colin grinned in pain, quickly apologized to the queen, and then sent her back to the sidelines.
Immediately afterwards, he smiled and greeted Viscount Lawrence beside Queen Aisha:
"Your Excellency, Viscount Lawrence, we meet again!"
