Red Maple Manor.
The mild afternoon sun shines in the back garden, and an autumn rain that has just fallen has added some fragrance of vegetation to the air.
Jason, who hurried from Alfalfa City, led by the housekeeper, saw Colin and Aisha scattered in the garden.
It's just the intimate posture of the two that made Jason involuntarily lower his head, not daring to look more.
Regarding the ambiguous relationship between Earl Anglia and Queen Aisha, it is no longer a secret in the half-elf kingdom. There have even been some speculations about the birth father of the fetus in the queen's womb, promoted by people with ulterior motives.
Jason followed the butler and couldn't help but slander-can't you two big brothers constrain a little in public?
"His Majesty the Queen, Lord Count Anglia, please allow me, on behalf of all the members of the Rutte family and all the citizens of Alfalfa City, to express the highest respect to you!"
Queen Aisha glanced at Jason, with a lazy expression, and said lightly: "Can the Rutte family represent the people of Clover City now?"
Facing the slightly sharp question from the queen, Jason suddenly froze on the spot, not knowing how to answer.
Fortunately, Colin chuckled and said: "Knight Jason, it seems that the current deeds of your Rutte family in Alfalfa City cannot satisfy Her Majesty the Queen."
"Yes...we have failed your majesty..." Jason replied bitterly.
Colin patted Aisha on the arm and gave her a look.
Aisha understood, then ignored Jason and continued to walk forward slowly.
Colin stayed in place, looked at the knight of the Rutte family with a smile, and asked: "Knight Jason, why are you here this time? Is it the same as last time, to ask for support?"
"No, Lord Earl, this time I have something important to tell."
"Tell me."
Jason told the story of the Northwind Chamber of Commerce carrying a large amount of bonds into Alfalfa City, but was stolen by a local thief.
However, to his disappointment, Ke Lin quietly listened, but there was no expression on his face.
It seemed that such a thing could not arouse his attention at all.
Jason was anxious in his heart and quickly reminded: "Master Earl, the Northwind Chamber of Commerce dared to send a caravan to conduct foreign trade through Alfalfa City. This is simply a challenge to your previous policy!
If you do not severely crack down on this smuggling, there will be other imitators in the future! "
Colin smiled, looked at Jason playfully, and asked: "So, as the lord of Alfalfa City, is your father capable of helping me fight these smuggling northern merchants?"
"For the time being...can't." Jason was a little discouraged, but immediately said, "Earl, as long as you are willing to support us, of course, I also know that you are worried about the Tianmo in the Nushui River, but as long as you send troops to help us occupy the clover One of the three districts of the city, then our Rutte family must be able to block such a smuggling business road for you!"
However, Colin still shook his head firmly and said: "I said, now is not the time to send troops to Clover City."
Jason didn't give up, and he persuaded: "Master Earl, this time the Northwind Chamber of Commerce is also trying to ship a large amount of bonds out of the north. Don't you worry about who the buyers of these bonds are?"
"Of course I'm not worried." Colin said leisurely. "When these bonds were issued, Lord Duke made it clear that no matter who they were, they could exchange food for bonds, and they could also use them to pay for the bonds after the maturity date. The Saint-Hilde family exchanged food.
The Northwind Chamber of Commerce used food in exchange for a large amount of bonds from the St. Hild family. Now what they plan to do with these bonds and to whom they are sold is not with the St. Hild family, it has nothing to do with me. "
"However, the Northwind Chamber of Commerce is obviously preparing to trade such a large amount of bonds to the East Territory this time! Lord Earl, don't you worry about any conspiracy in the East Territory?"
"What conspiracy?" Colin asked with interest.
Jason opened his mouth, but didn't know how to answer this question.
Colin seemed a little disappointed, and said lightly: "Well, Knight Jason, your Rutte family should still care about how to gain a foothold in Alfalfa City.
This change is actually a rare opportunity for you. Have you still not understood it yet? "
"Opportunity?" Jason was stunned, obviously he didn't understand what Colin meant.
Colin didn't explain it in detail, but said in a commanding tone: "Since you don't understand, then go back and watch it carefully. Don't run around all day, thinking about unrealistic assistance.
Alfalfa City is about to undergo drastic changes, I hope you can seize this opportunity. "
Jason seemed to realize something and wanted to ask more, but Colin waved his hand to signal him to leave.
Although he was full of doubts, Jason didn't dare to go against Colin's will, so he had to salute and retire.
After Jason left, Colin took a few steps quickly, caught up with Queen Elsa who was walking ahead, and hugged her waist again.
Aisha smiled gently at Colin and asked, "You stirred the situation in Clover City, right?"
Colin also smiled, without denying: "I can't hide anything from you."
"However, there is one thing I am curious about."
"what?"
"Does that priceless bond really exist?"
Colin laughed and nodded affirmatively: "Of course it is a real existence, and it was the Earl of Evan in the east that he personally indicated that the Northwind Chamber of Commerce should bring it to Alfalfa City, and prepare to exchange food with him."
Aisha blinked: "In that case, the North Wind Chamber of Commerce has actually been controlled by you?"
"Yes."
"But there will be a problem."
Colin nodded, seeming to know what Queen Aisha wanted to say: "Do you want to remind me that this will make the East Realm realize that the North Wind Chamber of Commerce is an undercover under my control?"
"You have already thought of it."
"Yes, and the solution is simple."
"any solution?"
"Find a Back Pot Man."
"The Back Pot?" Queen Aisha chanted the new words that appeared in Colin's mouth twice, and seemed to understand the meaning, "Is it the Rutte family?"
"Smart!" Colin lightly pecked on the queen's delicate red lips, "but you don't have to worry about the Rutte family. I have arranged manpower in Clover City, at least not let Ron die in revenge for the assassination.
As for his ability to clean up the mess in Clover City, it depends on his own ability. "
"As the lord of Alfalfa City, it is right for Ron to come back." Queen Aisha said sternly. "You have helped him a lot. If he hates you for this, then he doesn't know good or bad."
"Hate? No, he will only hold my thighs tighter. After this, the Rutte family will become a thorn in the eyes of the East. If Ron wants to survive, he can only defend Alfalfa City desperately for us."
Queen Aisha nodded, and then said with some anxiety: "However, I am a little worried that with Ron's ability, he may not be able to control the chaos in Clover City."
"Actually, it doesn't matter." Colin shrugged and said casually, "At least it won't be worse than it is now, right?"
"That's right. As long as UU reading is not controlled by the forces supported by the East, it doesn't matter if Clover City is in a mess."
At this time, the confident Colin still didn't know that the development of Clover City had deviated from the track he had expected.
Things are unpredictable and people's minds are unpredictable. Many times, plans fail to keep up with changes.
…
Just as the two were chatting, the butler walked over again and handed a letter to Queen Aisha.
The queen hurriedly scanned it, then handed it to Colin, and smiled at the same time: "We can almost return to Silvermoon City, too."
Colin read the letter again and smiled.
He stretched out his hand and gently stroked Aisha's belly, saying:
"Okay, let us welcome the birth of this new life together."
