Chapter 673： Secret (Part 1)

The rising sun swayed the dazzling morning glow, and plated a layer of magnificent golden light on the Dongquan River with thousands of acres of glaze.

The cool morning breeze blew the water waves, and the undercurrents kept hitting the limestone foundation of the castle, turning into white waves, which disappeared in an instant, leaving only the never-ending sound of the waves.

Colin stood on the balcony of the castle, admiring the sunrise over the Winterspring River.

After the chaos of the night was over, the town of Winter Spring was calm again.

Although the city gates were closed and the number of patrolling guards on the streets increased, the residents of the town were not too panicked.

Perhaps it was because the orc army did not harass them last night, so the residents did not have a deep understanding of the brutality of the orcs. At this time, seeing the orcs retreat, they could live in peace.

As for what happened in the Granto family castle last night, they had no idea.

Of course, perhaps this is a kind of luck for them.

Colin looked down and saw a thick smoke rising from the courtyard on the west side of the castle.

Gradually, the morning breeze came with the smell of barbecue.

But Colin knew that it was the blood slave burning the body of the royal guard.

In the battle last night, the royal guards launched a surprise attack on the blood cavalry army team brought by Ke Lin, but of course they did not know that Ke Lin brought not ordinary blood cavalry soldiers, but blood shadow guards——

More than 300 professionals who are not afraid of death and have no fatal injuries, such a lineup, unless the royal family dispatches more than ten times the force to encircle and suppress it, it is impossible to win.

Moreover, the orc team that invaded Winterquan Town last night was actually blood slaves.

They were Colin's harvest at the Battle of the Loire Valley.

This time it was just used to blame Prince Leahy and Consul Fred.

However, the news of the deaths of the two is still under wraps. After all, Colin doesn’t want to make a fuss, and he is also planning to give Gregory a surprise attack during the celebration of the Day of Grace, according to the plan suggested by Cardinal Mensay.

That's why he asked the Duke of St. Landers and the Knights of Sparton to go back and mobilize the troops from the south and east to "encircle" this orc squad that fled into the hinterland of the empire——

This is to make the Pope mistakenly believe that Winter Spring is still under the control of Prince Leahy and others.

Otherwise, Gregory would definitely raise his vigilance if he mobilized the northern army to return to the defense.

With this arrangement now, as long as Cardinal Mensay does not betray Colin, there will be no problem with this plan.

Colin certainly didn't count on Mensay's loyalty to himself, but as long as the cardinal wanted to become pope, there was no reason for him to leak to Gregory.

Moreover, in order to prevent the accident, Colin also thought of a preparatory plan...

"Good morning, Count Angell."

A greeting pulled Colin back from his musings.

He turned around and saw Maester Yarug standing behind him with a smile on his face.

"Good morning, Bachelor of Yale." Colin returned with a bright smile.

The confidant of the Duke of the South had secretly warned him of the trap of the royal family. Although Ke Lin already had a plan to deal with it, Ke Lin was very grateful for this.

However, because of this, he became curious about this Yarug bachelor——

Why should the other party help themselves?

"I found a small thing before, I wonder if you dropped it?" Colin took out the roll of parchment and asked the Master Yaruger.

"Yes." Bachelor Yarug nodded calmly, took a few steps forward and stood side by side with Colin, "I just didn't expect you to have an arrangement, I was overthinking it."

Colin looked at the Yaleger beside him with bright eyes, and asked in a deep voice:

"Then why did you warn me?"

The Yaruger smiled slightly and said:

"Lord Count, maybe you don't know, I'm actually from the North."

Colin raised his brows, a little surprised that the confidant of the Duke of the South was actually a native of the North.

However, this is not really surprising.

After all, the confidant of the Duke of St. Hilde at the time, and now the Northland political adviser who was entrusted by Colin with the important task - Bachelor Dawn was not from the Northland, but was born in the Scarlet Flames.

Baita Academy has always advertised neutrality, and its reputation has always been very good. After graduating from it, the bachelors will do their best to serve them after determining their allegiance. Therefore, nobles generally do not consider their background when selecting bachelors.

Moreover, the number of bachelors who can graduate from Baita Academy is too rare, and the nobles do not have much choice. It is very rare to find a bachelor who suits your temperament and who is willing to serve you. If you limit your background, it will simply cause trouble for yourself.

Colin is also clear that the Yaluer bachelor must not warn himself for the sake of "compatriots", and there must be other more critical reasons.

Sure enough, I listened to the Master Yaruger continue:

"My hometown is called Blackthorn Village, which is only a dozen kilometers away from Winter City. I also have a younger sister named Yelifu, oh yes, perhaps her other name should be more familiar to you——

Midella St Hilde. "

Colin suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Yerug in disbelief. After a while, he questioned, "You mean, your sister is Queen Midella?"

"Yes." Maester Yarug nodded affirmatively.

At the same time, his hands are raised to his chest, palms facing inward, and his fingers are intertwined to form a lotus-like mudra.

It was the handprint that Queen Midella showed to Colin at the beginning.

According to her, seeing this handprint is someone you can trust.

"Just a handprint doesn't prove that you are Queen Midella's brother, right?" Ke Lin suppressed the horror in his heart and questioned aloud.

"Yeah." The Yeruger smiled lightly, without the slightest panic in his expression, "Many people know this handprint, including you, is the force Yelifu has worked hard to win over the years.

And the way she maintains this secret alliance is to exchange their respective handles.

However, I believe you are also clear that Yelifu has never handed over her biggest grip.

And this handle is - she is not the direct line of the Saint Hilde family at all! "

Colin has calmed down from the shock at this time. He looks at the serious look on the face of the Yaruger. It doesn't seem like he is lying. It is impossible to be fooled by a few words, so he asked in a deep voice:

"Do you have any evidence?"

Maester Yarug shook his head, spread his hands and said:

"Count Angele, if I really have any evidence for this kind of thing that concerns the reputation of the two Holy Knight families in the empire, do you think I can still live to this day?"

Before Colin could speak, he continued:

"However, would you like to hear my story before you judge?"

Colin's eyes flashed, and he finally nodded, saying:

"Okay, you say."
