Chapter 180： Dinner (middle)

The light in the dining room was dim, and the cold wind coming in from nowhere was blowing in the candlelight.

The flames of unknown jumping shone on the faces of the two knights at the long table, looking a little gloomy and depressing.

It took a long time for Colin to recover from Walla's unconventional remarks.

He fixedly looked at his brother-in-law, as if he was trying to distinguish whether the other party was really telling the truth or not.

Seeing Colin’s disbelief, Varla explained again:

"Actually, when I first discovered this, I was as shocked as you. And, until now, I dare not tell Caitlin..."

"How did you discover this?"

"After returning from the battlefield, I began to feel suspicious.

As I told you just now, I only remember that I was stabbed by the troll warrior, but when I woke up, I was already in Fallen Eagle City.

What happened in the middle, I have been trying to figure out.

I once asked my mother, but she told me that the people from the Tulip Chamber of Commerce saw me being abandoned on the battlefield, so they rescued me.

But this explanation obviously cannot convince me.

Therefore, I deliberately checked the trade records of the Tulip Chamber of Commerce. There, I found that a caravan did indeed return to Fallen Eagle City from the front line during the time I was injured.

It should be this caravan that brought me back, but the timing is too coincidental, and it is so coincidental that it makes it hard to believe that this was not deliberately arranged..."

"So, you suspect that there is a secret connection between Ms. Penny and the troll?"

"Yes. Of course, it is also possible that I think too much. Mother, she may not have betrayed the interests of the north. After all, the Tulip Chamber of Commerce has been trading between the troll empire and the north. They really happened to pass by that battlefield and redeemed me."

Walla defended his mother, but judging from his expression, he probably didn't even believe this explanation.

Colin sneered in his heart-your "mother" has a deeper connection with the troll than you think!

But on the surface, he nodded his head with deep conviction, and then asked: "Then Carter Knight assassinated me? Why do you think this was also instigated by your mother?"

Knight Valra paused, seeming to hesitate, but after struggling for a moment, he still said:

"The caravan that brought me back from the front line actually passed by the town of Greycastle. Moreover, it was the day before your assassination."

"Oh?" Colin's eyes flickered, "but that doesn't mean anything, right?"

"I checked the ledger of the caravan, and it recorded that a valuable set of enchanted armor was stolen, and the place where it was stolen-it was Graycastle Town!"

At this time, Colin suddenly realized.

This is where the theft is, obviously it was handed over to the Carter Knight as a commission for the assassination.

No wonder Varla suspected that his mother was behind the scenes.

"Then you think, why did your mother send someone to assassinate me?"

"It should be for the title of Anglia family." The Valla Knight was a little afraid to face Colin's gaze, his face was so ashamed that he wanted to cover his entire face.

"The Lord Baron died on the front line. If you die too, then Caitlin will become the first heir to the title of the Anglia family, and I will get a family business because of this, and I don’t need to be in Fallen Eagle City. I was blinded all day long.

This may be the mother's plan...

Sorry, Colin, I'm sorry for you..."

The frankness of the Valra Knight made Colin feel a little unsure of how to deal with it.

He had already had a perfect plan for this dinner.

Preparing to use the conclusion he deduced from the red-eye inheritance at the beginning to convince the Valla Knight that he is the real son of Count Uman, so as to provoke his resentment towards Viscount Lawrence and plant an unstable bomb within the Uman family.

But who could have thought that things would turn out to be like this.

When his heartbeat turned sharply, Colin suddenly felt that he had to change his mind too.

"Walla, my father does not care about your status as an illegitimate child. He treats you like a parent and married your sister to you, but you failed to protect his father and let him die on the battlefield by himself. Such behavior , Can it be called a knight's virtue?"

Without waiting for Valla to speak, Colin continued to press Geologically to ask:

"In order to get you a family property, your mother even instructed the assassin to assassinate me. For this kind of behavior, you want to get my forgiveness by simply saying'I'm sorry'?"

Facing Colin's questioning, Varla flushed with shame.

He suddenly got up and left his seat, came to Colin, knelt down on one knee, and at the same time put the saber around his waist with his hands on the top of his head, and said loudly:

"Viscount Anglia, I deserve your trial!"

Colin raised his brows and sneered: "What? Walla, you thought that if you married my sister, I would be reluctant to kill you?"

"No! My crime has nothing to do with Caitlin, and I don't expect you to forgive me on her face." Valra's face was firm, her sword-holding hands did not tremble, "Actually, I learned what my mother did. At that time, I understood that only death can redeem my sins against Baron Anglia and you!"

Having said that, he raised his head, looked at Colin calmly, and said every word: "Colin, please grant me relief!"

Colin stared at the Valla Knight's eyes blankly, as if trying to distinguish from them, what the other party said just now was a bit sincere.

Walla's blue eyes were as calm as a windless sea, and generally deep.

It took a long time before Colin got up slowly.

choke--

The long sword came out of its sheath and reached the heart of the Valla Knight.

Colin applied a little force, and the sharp point of the sword easily pierced the thin coat.

The red blood stained Varla's chest, but his eyes didn't tremble at all, and his body never dodged at all.

Colin squinted his eyes and asked blankly: "Walla, do you have any last words?"

Varla's eyes finally filled with waves, and a touch of nostalgia also appeared in her tone: "Please take care of Caitlin and help her find a good man to remarry."

"She is my sister, and I will take care of her without you."

Walla nodded, as if finally relieved, slowly closed his eyes, quietly waiting for death to come.

Colin hesitated for a moment but still slowly pierced the long sword into Varla's chest.

His speed is not fast, it seems that he deliberately controlled his strength, letting the long sword pierce Valla's chest little by little.

In the whole process, except for gritting his teeth in pain and shaking his body reflexively, Varla still had no intention of dodge at all.

It wasn't until the long sword penetrated his chest and revealed from behind that Varla slowly opened his eyes, took a nostalgic look at the world, and whispered to Colin: "I'm sorry."

Then slowly fell to the ground.

Colin sighed and seemed to have finally determined the sincerity of Valla Knight.

I have seen too many Lao Yinb who are unscrupulous for his own benefit. A knight like Walla who is willing to pay atonement for the justice in his heart is like a different kind.

Looking at Walla, who was pierced by the sword on the ground and was so angry as to gossip, Colin sighed again.

Finally, I took a bite...
