On the forest trail outside Yulongcheng, a cavalry team was slowly advancing.
"Duke Saint-Griand, have you ever been to the East before?"
Colin asked casually.
The Duke of St. Grianan next to him was bathed in the sun, and his whole body exuded a dazzling brilliance that made people unable to look directly at him.
"I have been there. When I was young, I traveled through the four realms of the empire." The Duke of Saint-Grianan glanced at Colin sideways, seeming to see through his temptation, and said, "I have stayed in your northern border. In a short period of time, I have also been to the firmament ice field and witnessed the scene of the Black Cavalry fighting with the trolls."
Although knowing that the Duke of Saint-Griand was deliberately changing the subject, Colin couldn't forcefully continue to inquire about the other party's experience in the East, so he had to follow the topic and said:
"Then you and Marquis Garcia should be familiar, right?"
The Duke of Saint-Griann glanced at the lonely back figure in the front of the team, and smiled:
"Yes. To tell you the truth, for a while, I was convinced by his heroism on the battlefield, and even thought of marrying him."
Colin blinked, and suddenly thought-
This Duke of Saint-Grian, who had an affair with the Marquis of Garcia, was not Vera's biological mother, right?
But immediately, Colin felt unlikely.
If the Duke of St. Grianan is really Vera’s biological mother, I am afraid that he would have pulled up the western army and avenged the church in cooperation with the northern, instead of mediating in the middle as it is now, and even protecting Pope Gregor in order to maintain the stability of the situation. Rui.
Moreover, the Marquis of Garcia had long since confessed to Colin that Vera's biological mother had already passed away.
Colin believed that Marquis Garcia would not lie...
"The Duke of St. Grien, you are not married, he is not married, so if you still have this intention, I can help match up..."
The Duke of Saint-Griann looked sideways at Colin, a very complicated expression appeared on his beautiful face, and said:
"I appreciate your kindness, but Garcia dare not marry me..."
Listening to the meaningful words of the Duke of St. Grien, Colin's gossip heart suddenly rolled, but for a time he didn't know how to dig deeper for more information.
Before he could think about how to speak, the Duke of Saint-Grian suddenly changed the subject and said:
"How are you and Anna San Prolos?"
"Very good." Colin flashed his eyes and tentatively said, "Master Duke, you seem to be very familiar with Anna."
The Duke of St. Grianan smiled and said: "Did you want to ask for a long time?"
Seeing that the other party saw it through, Colin nodded and confessed.
The Duke of Saint-Griann didn't care too much either, explaining: "When I was traveling in the East, I discovered Anna's outstanding talents. I also taught her martial arts for a period of time, so I can count as half of her teacher. "
The Duke of Saint-Griann said lightly, as if there was nothing to go into.
Moreover, the Duke of St. Grianan and Anna are both talented female knights, and it is only natural to sympathize with each other. Perhaps the Duke of St. Grianan saw her younger self from Anna, so he looked at her differently and even gave guidance.
This explanation was reasonable, but Colin always felt that the Duke of St. Grien had deliberately concealed something.
"Do you plan to have a child with her?"
Just as Colin was thinking about it, the Duke of St. Grien suddenly asked a sudden question.
"With whom? Anna?" Clin was stunned. After seeing the Duke of Saint-Grian nodding to confirm, he said in a bit of amazement, "This...we haven't considered this aspect. After all, she belongs to me. My lover, if he gives birth to a child, he is also an illegitimate child..."
"Do you still care about this? How did I hear that you have an illegitimate daughter in the half-elf kingdom." The Duke of St. Grian obviously didn't intend to let Colin go through it.
Colin touched his nose, pretending to be embarrassed and shy, but he was wondering in his heart, why should the Duke of Saint-Griann care about whether he would have a child with Anna?
Moreover, Colin didn't know whether the blood slave had the ability to bear children, but if he was forced to do something with a girl who had lost her self-consciousness, there would be a bit of a response...
What's more, he and Anna are not real lovers. Strictly speaking, they are enemies.
Seeing that Colin seemed to be avoiding this issue, the Duke of Saint-Griann continued to persuade:
"I know you want to intervene in the affairs of the East, but compared to a student, letting your blood become the Duke of the East is more convenient for you to control the East?"
This sentence is very explicit and very rude.
Colin was already convinced that there must be some secret hidden between the Duke of St. Grianan and Anna...
Seeing the change of Colin's face, the Duke of Saint-Grian also seemed to realize that he had acted too eagerly, so he said remedially:
"Don't you want to fight against the church? In fact, I also support this. The current church is indeed too disappointing.
However, if you really want to do this, then the East must be firmly controlled, and it must not be returned to the church.
Therefore, you can make an article about the relationship between you and Anna. "
Colin took a deep look at the Duke of St. Grianan, apparently he did not believe the other party's deliberate justification, and said:
"My Lord Duke, as long as you stand firmly on the side of the nobility, then the Eastern Realm is wobbly, and we have a great chance of winning the church."
The Duke of St. Grianan chuckled and said: "I remind you not to count on me too much. I promised you that I will help you to force Gregorian to abdicate after this war is over, but other than that, don’t Want to get more help from me.
I am the Duke of the West after all, so I must first consider the West. "
Colin was a little disappointed, and was about to continue to test, but heard another coquettish voice behind him:
"What are you talking about?"
Colin turned his head and saw that Queen Midella had left the carriage and was riding a white horse, trotting and chasing her.
"His Royal Highness, I'm asking the Duke of Saint-Grian about the situation of the orc army." Colin smiled and lied.
The Duke of St. Grien pursed his lips, and of course UU reading would not reveal it.
Queen Midella took a deep look at the two of them, and did not say anything, but raised her whip, pointed at the faint black spot on the horizon ahead, and said:
"We are almost there, and the place in front of this meeting is Oak Manor."
Colin smiled and said:
"I've also visited the royal manor from the future, and this time I just saw it."
Queen Midella raised her eyebrows and asked Colin, "Do you know who the owner of this manor was?"
"The former master?" Colin was stunned for a moment, thinking this is not the royal manor?
Did the royal family use a "second-hand manor" as the venue for this meeting?
When I was in doubt, I heard the Duke of Saint-Griann say:
"This was once the private estate of Prince Leahy."
