Chapter 606： return

In early July, Colin returned to the north from the Sky Icefield.

However, he did not go directly to Winter City, but returned to Ice Rock City.

Not because he was homesick, but because Vera was here.

After hearing about the fiasco of the imperial coalition and the news that Marquis Garcia was declared a traitor by Reinhardt the Great, the anxious Vera went all the way north to seek help from her husband.

The two happened to meet in Ice Rock City.

In fact, although Bingyan City is Ke Lin's family fief, he has been fighting in the east and west in the past few years, and he has not stayed here for long.

The castle that was inherited from the Suduo family has also been completely renovated, and it has become a "Red Castle" that truly belongs to the Angele family.

And Colin, who just came back, actually lost his way in his castle...

After bathing and changing clothes, Colin took off the dust and came to the study.

The half-elf maid Cathy smiled at Colin and said:

"Lord Earl, Lord Duke is still taking a bath. I'll be here soon, please wait."

Colin nodded and sat down on the sofa chair.

Meow-

A grey-blue figure flashed past Ke Lin's back, and Ke Lin was startled to realize that he was so worried that he could not find Xiao Bai lying on the sofa, and almost sat on it.

Long time no see, Xiaobai has become much more rounded. At first glance, the food is too good and the exercise is too little.

Just after seeing Ke Lin, Xiaobai's eyes were extraordinarily alert, and it seemed that he didn't know this irresponsible master.

"Lord Count, what would you like to drink?"

"Cafe."

"good."

Cathy sticks out her little white hands and starts brewing coffee. Her movements are dexterous and her posture is beautiful. It is a pity that Colin is absent-minded and lost in his own thoughts.

To be honest, Colin did not expect that the imperial coalition would be defeated so quickly.

You must know that this kind of confrontation between millions of troops may not be able to determine the winner after a year and a half, but it has only been so long, and there is news of the fiasco of the imperial coalition.

What shocked him even more was that Marquis Garcia escaped!

In Colin's impression, Marquis Garcia is definitely not a person who fears death, and this kind of escaping behavior cannot happen to him.

Colin guessed that either Marquis Garcia was wronged, or Marquis Garcia had other plans...

Cathy had put a cup of fragrant coffee in front of Colin, and added milk and a spoonful of sugar according to Colin's habit.

Colin picked up the cup and took a sip of the coffee. The mellow taste refreshed him.

Just at this time, the door was knocked gently, and then, Vera walked in.

Cathy hurriedly stood up and saluted, and then asked, "Lord Duke, what would you like to drink?"

Vera looked at the brewed coffee and said, "Just coffee, no sugar."

"Okay." Cathy poured a glass for Vera, and then walked out lightly, leaving the study room to the Colin couple.

Colin stepped forward and hugged Vera in his arms, kissed her lightly on her smooth forehead, and said:

"Why aren't you waiting for me in Winter City?"

"I'm in a hurry." Vera squeezed herself into her husband's warm embrace, and her originally restless mood suddenly eased a lot.

"You are about to become a mother, don't run around like this again." Colin reached out and stroked Vera's slightly bulging belly, admonishing.

"Yeah." Vera nodded, then took out a letter from her bosom, handed it to Colin, and said, "This is a letter from my father back to Winter City, which explains the whole story in detail, take a look ."

Colin took it quickly, sat on the sofa with Vera in his arms, and took a closer look.

Instead, Xiao Bai crawled over at this moment, lying on Vera's pregnant belly, and even snored.

Colin didn't have time to pay attention to this kitten who had forgotten its owner. After reading Marquis Garcia's letter, he finally understood the truth of the matter.

"The Marquis is a little too risky this time." Colin sighed, "Moreover, he is risking his own reputation and even his life..."

"Colin, will my father be okay?" Vera asked nervously.

"It shouldn't." Colin had to comfort his wife, "As long as we follow the Marquis' strategy and successfully repel the army of orcs, then we can help him clear his name."

Vera breathed a sigh of relief, but still said with some worry: "Why do you think father has to take such extreme measures? Why not persuade His Majesty to withdraw from the army?"

"It should be persuaded not to move." Colin can probably guess some of the situation on the front line, "Emperor Reinhardt is too stubborn, and Duke St. Grian is unwilling to let the Western Territory fall, these two will definitely not agree. Marquis Garcia's retreat strategy...

Therefore, the Marquis cannot make such a decision. "

Vera sighed, a little helpless.

She was silent for a moment, then asked, "Then when are you going to set off for the Western Region?"

"As soon as possible." Ke Lin thought for a while and said, "I will spend a day in Bingyan City, and I will lead the army to set off tomorrow morning."

"So soon?" Vera was a little reluctant to bear her husband, but she knew that the situation was urgent and did not hold back.

Colin straightened his wife's hair, kissed her delicate pink ear, and said warmly, "I have to figure out the specifics of the situation in the Western Region as soon as possible, so let's go early. When I come back this time, I will be nowhere to be found. If you don’t go, I will accompany you to give birth.”

"Yeah. You don't have to worry about me." Vera didn't want to make the atmosphere too sad, she smiled and said, "Originally, based on your great achievements on the ice field in the sky this time, I was going to canonize you as a marquis. Now I have to wait. You can talk about it when you come back from the west."

"Marquis?" Colin smiled slightly and said, "Is there enough fiefs in the north to confer a new marquis?"

Vera pursed her lips and smiled and said, "Of course enough, I have already planned, and I will give you all the land on the west bank of the Furious River. Anyway, the Furious River is now under our control. Now, if one day you think your territory is not big enough, you can continue to expand eastward."

Colin of course understood what Vera meant, and suddenly laughed, saying:

"Okay, then you leave that piece of land for me first, until I return from the west expedition."

Vera looked at her husband's excited and heroic appearance, her heart overflowing with pride, and she immediately sent a sweet kiss.

Colin, of course, responded enthusiastically.

During the lingering, Xiaobai was pushed off the sofa.

Meow! Meow!

It yelled at Colin a few times in dissatisfaction, but Colin grabbed the back of the neck with one hand and threw it out of the window.

Fortunately, the study was not too high from the ground, so Xiao Bai deftly found his balance in mid-air, landed on all fours, and then shouted louder at the window to vent his dissatisfaction.

Bang!

The window was closed by Colin, blocking the sound from inside and outside the study.
