"Why?"
Colin asked immediately.
Queen Midella did not answer this question, but instead asked: "Do you know why the Saint Chapman family is the only paladin family without a fief in the Radiance Empire?"
Colin frowned. Although he couldn't understand the meaning of Queen Midella's question, he still answered patiently:
"It should be that the royal family is worried that the St. Chapman family will be too powerful after serving as the guardian of the empire, which restricts their power to have fiefs."
Queen Midella slowly shook her head and said, "No, you got the cause and effect relationship wrong.
The Saint Chapman family was not deprived of the right to have a fief after serving as the guardian of the empire, but they did not have a fief at the beginning, so they could gain the full trust of the royal family and were granted the authority of the guardian of the empire. "
Ke Lin thought for a while before he realized what Queen Midella wanted to express, but then another question naturally emerged in his mind:
"Then why did the St. Chapman family have no fiefs from the beginning?"
"That's right, this is the crux of the problem." Queen Midella smiled and gently tapped on the tip of Colin's nose, and immediately reminded, "As one of the Paladins who followed Emperor Garner to build the glorious empire, the Saint Chapman family They have made great military exploits, and at the same time, they have not committed any unforgivable mistakes, so, what other reasons can prevent them from becoming the lords of the empire?"
With a flash of inspiration, Colin said, "Bloodlines! Isn't the St. Chapman family a pure-blooded human?"
"Smart!" Queen Midella praised, "Yes, St. Chapman actually has elf blood. They are the only paladin family born from the half-elf family!"
Colin suddenly realized.
No wonder Queen Midella identified him as a descendant of the St. Chapman family, so it was.
Colin's real body of the blood family was mistaken for the inheritance of Druids, and since he could become a Druid, Colin should naturally have elf blood.
Coupled with his heaven-defying advanced speed, it is no wonder that Queen Midella would identify him as a descendant of the St. Chapman family.
But then, Colin also began to hesitate.
Are you really a descendant of the St. Chapman family?
Although he also knows that the reason why his advanced speed is so unstoppable is entirely because of the open connection, but the "blood family hanging" that Colin thinks is actually the blood of the Druid inheritance and the St. Chapman family. combined effect?
From the very beginning when he came to this world, Colin had discovered that there were no blood races here.
And the reason why he thinks he is a vampire is also because the characteristics he shows are more in line with the description of vampires in previous life fantasy works.
However, is it possible that this is all his own misunderstanding of Druid?
The more Colin thought about it, the more he felt that it was really possible that he had acquired the Druid's inheritance inexplicably.
There are also descendants of the St. Chapman family... Maybe the Angele family also has some secrets that he doesn't know.
Moreover, Colin also found that claiming to be a descendant of the St. Chapman family obviously did more good than harm to him.
Anyway, he has completely offended the church now, and the only drawback of the descendants of the Saint Chapman family is that they will be hostile and even hunted down by the church. he.
As for the benefits, that's too many.
For example, being able to become a Duke of the First Realm, and even gain higher prestige and power...
Thinking of this, Colin suddenly warmed up in his heart.
But then, he realized a problem.
"His Royal Highness, didn't you just say that the St. Chapman family can't become a real lord because they are not pure-blooded humans? Then if I claim to be a descendant of the St. Chapman family, how can I control the Eastern Realm?"
"You don't have to worry about this." Queen Midella explained with a smile, "Only the royal family knows the secret of the bloodline of the St. Chapman family, and after the St. Chapman family was exterminated by the church, this secret is no longer even for the royal family. Attention, like my stupid husband, Reinhardt doesn't know the secret anymore.
The real reason why the St. Chapman family could not become the lord of the empire is now unknown.
I also stumbled across it while reading the royal collection, so if you can get the world to admit that you're a descendant of the St. Chapman family, no one will think you're ineligible to be a Duke of One Realm. "
Hearing this, Colin fell into deep thought.
Queen Midella's remarks seemed to be watertight, but the more so, the more it made Colin gradually start to be vigilant.
Moreover, he found that if he really did what Queen Midella said, after the event was completed, even if he really became the Duke of the Eastern Realm, he was not a pure-blooded human being, but would become more and more deadly.
On the contrary, the handle of Empress Midella that he has mastered will become insignificant with the death of Emperor Reinhardt.
Because the queen is cheating with people, only the emperor will really care. Once the emperor dies, other people will at most treat it as a talk after dinner. After all, in the moral standards of this world, raising a lover is not a big deal. .
Therefore, Colin found that he seemed to be pinched by this woman again...
Moreover, Colin also realized another problem——
Why didn't Queen Midella seek cooperation with Marquis Garcia?
Garcia is her brother, and the two of them can gain trust without exchanging hands with each other.
Why did Queen Midella insist on looking for a lover like Colin?
Don't say anything about Colin's military talent, you must know that Colin's skills are all learned from Marquis Garcia.
In terms of prestige in the north, Marquis Garcia is only slightly higher than Colin.
Now the commander of this northern army is Marquis Garcia, not Colin.
unless……
What Queen Midella is looking for is not a collaborator, but a scapegoat...
Thinking of this, Colin's fiery heart gradually calmed down.
The stunning and flattering woman in front of him almost confused his mind. At this moment, Colin finally realized that Queen Midella is not a simple character.
Under her incomparably charming appearance, she hides a deep scheming Colin can't judge at all, which one of her words is true and which is false.
If you believe it so foolishly, then I am afraid that sooner or later it will become a tool of Midella.
"This matter is too involved, so let's take a long-term view..."
Queen Midella immediately frowned when she heard Colin's hesitant words. Just as she was about to speak again, she saw Colin suddenly pointed out the window and said:
"Okay, it's almost dawn, you should leave quickly, so as not to be seen. After I think about this matter, I will go to you."
Queen Midella turned her head and saw that the eastern sky had gradually become a fish-mammed white.
Dawn has come.
"Okay." Queen Midella gave Colin a deep look, and gave another kiss, "When you think about it, remember to come to me."
"good."
