Chapter 354： Means (on)

The quiet night enveloped the earth, and the sound of insects one after another embellished this quiet little garden with vitality.

Colin looked at the bright moonlight in the sky, tasted the scented tea in his hand, and waited quietly.

Waiting for what kind of surprises Prince Harrison can bring to himself.

He came to Agate Manor this time, in fact, it was for Joyce.

Although he had never regarded this little child as a real threat, after all, Colin was about to leave the northern border for a period of time, leaving such a hidden danger in Winter City a little bit in his heart.

Moreover, Colin also received a report from his subordinates that he knew that the Earl of Evan in the Eastern Territory was in Wintery City at this time, but he did not disclose his identity, nor did he come to visit Lion's Roar.

Colin knew that the other party came to the north to find Prince Leahy, after all, there was also the Prince's daughter Salia who was traveling with Evan.

It's just that since they came to Winter City, they didn't come to Lion's Roar to visit the Duke of the North. It was inevitable that they were a little rude. This also made Colin feel that the wicked Count Evan is likely to be engaged in a conspiracy. A guilty conscience did not dare to come to Lion's Roar.

Therefore, Colin had to choke all hidden dangers in the bud before leaving.

As the night darkened, Colin was wondering why Prince Harrison hadn't done it yet. Could it be that he was scared when something happened?

At this moment, an attendant hurriedly ran into the garden, anxiously reported:

"Master Earl, something has happened!"

Finally came.

Colin moved in his heart and asked calmly: "What's the matter?"

"Master Joyce, he... he... you'd better go there yourself."

Seeing how the attendant was hesitant to speak, Colin rolled his eyes a few times, got up quickly, and said, "Let's go."

"Yes!"

The two of them walked all the way through the dark corridor to the backyard of the manor.

There was already a circle of guards and servants, but they were all standing outside, not daring to enter.

When he saw Colin approaching with strides and meteors, the manor housekeeper hurriedly greeted him and said respectfully:

"Master Earl, Prince Harrison, Princess Judy, and Master Joyce are all inside. It seems that there is some conflict. Go in and have a look."

"Contradiction?" Colin's expression moved slightly, and he asked in confusion.

The butler didn't go into details either, but just gestured to Colin with his eyes, it was not convenient for the matter to be made public.

Colin didn't ask any more, and strode into the room.

There are only three little guys in the room, no one else.

Princess Judy was sitting at the table, rubbing her sleepy eyes, and she was not in good spirits.

On both sides of her, Prince Harrison and Joyce stood face to face, their faces flushed, as if they had just had an argument.

There is a set of flip chess on the table, which should have been playing before three people.

It's just that the atmosphere in the room is very solemn now.

Seeing Colin walking in, Prince Harrison's eyes lit up and he quickly yelled: "Earl Angley, this Joyce is so bold that he wants to molest Sister Judy, you send someone to him..."

"Nonsense!" Joyce retorted with a sharp throat, "You are slander! I obviously didn't do anything!"

"What slander? When I came in just now, I clearly saw that you were plotting against Judy!"

"You're wrong, I'm just looking at how the princess suddenly fell on the table?"

"Okay!" Colin raised his hand to interrupt the dispute between the two little boys, then looked at Princess Judy and asked with concern, "Judy? Are you okay?"

"I..." Princess Judy rubbed her eyes and yawned again, "I'm fine, just a little sleepy..."

Colin frowned, stepped forward and picked up the water glass in front of Princess Judy, and sent it under his nose to smell it.

Prince Harrison shouted immediately: "Earl Anglia, I suspect that Joyce has been drugged in the water. Please ask a pharmacist to check it!"

Joyston was taken aback when he shouted: "Nonsense! How could I drug the princess in the water?"

Colin was speechless.

He had already smelled something wrong in Princess Judy's water, and immediately guessed that it was Harrison's medicine, and wanted to blame Joyce, but this method... was too rough.

Well, it's a kid after all, it's really embarrassing for him to come up with such a seamless strategy.

Colin was thinking about how to help Prince Harrison round out this dirty water trick, when he heard Prince Harrison yell again:

"Do you still want to deny? Earl Anglia, look at Judy's neck, it's all traces of Joyce!"

Joyce was obviously taken aback.

Colin blinked as well, obviously he didn't expect that this kid would have a trick.

So he immediately took a few steps forward, approached Judy, and asked: "Judy, is there anything wrong with your neck?"

Princess Judy also seemed to realize that something was wrong, she reached out and rubbed her neck, and said in a daze, "It seems to be a little...itchy."

Colin opened Judy's collar and saw a red on her neck.

Prince Harrison immediately exclaimed triumphantly: "Joyce, do you still want to deny it now?"

"I... I didn't do anything!" Joyce flushed and shouted aggrievedly, "Earl Angley, these are Harrison framed me, you must not believe him!"

Prince Harrison was unforgiving, and said tightly: "Joyce, it's already obvious now that it's useless for you to deny it.

It's that you used the excuse of playing chess to trick Judy into here, and then put medicine in her cup, wanting to take the opportunity to plot a crime! "

"You bullshit! I didn't! I didn't!" Joyce just kept shaking his head in denial, but couldn't produce conclusive evidence to prove his innocence.

But Prince Harrison looked complacent and seemed to feel that he had mastered the irrefutable evidence.

Looking at the familiar scene in front of him, Colin suddenly remembered the similar frame-up incident in the Holy Light Cathedral in Royal Dragon City.

Perhaps this is called having its father (mother), and having its son.

Of course, compared with the framing methods of Emperor Reinhardt and Queen Midella, Harrison is a bit naive, and it can be easily dismantled.

For example, the marks on Judy's neck, Colin has seen some insignificant catkins on her collar.

However, this method is still enough to deal with a kid like Joyce, and now he is obviously panicked.

"Earl Anglia, you are going to get someone to arrest this Joyce! How can he desecrate the royal princess?"

"I didn't! I didn't!" Joyce made a pale and weak retort, tears rolling in his eyes, and he was almost crying.

Colin secretly dismissed himself, but did not arrest Joyce as Prince Harrison said, but said vaguely:

"This matter needs further investigation, but, Master Joyce, you should go back to Lion's Roar first. Agate Manor is no longer suitable for you."

Joyce obviously did not expect that Colin would let him go in this way. UU reading nodded and thanked: "Earl Angley, you must investigate carefully. This is really not what I did. of!"

After finishing speaking, he gave Prince Harrison a bitter look, and ran out as if to escape.

Prince Harrison stomped anxiously and complained: "Teacher, why did you let him go like this?"

Colin ignored Harrison and asked Judy, "Judy, how are you now? Do you need me to find the pastor to show you?"

Before Judy spoke, Prince Harrison whispered: "It's okay, just sleep."

Colin gave Harrison a fierce look, then picked up the bewildered Judy and put it on the bed inside.

After a few words with the maid outside, he said to Prince Harrison:

"You come with me."
