TOV30
After nightfall, the temperature began to drop.
The night in the spring in the north is also quite cold.
In the camp, the soldiers lighted a bonfire to heat and boil water for cooking.
At the same time, they started chatting.
The content, of course, was the meeting of the two Marquis during the day, the whip of Marquis Garcia, and the cry of Marquis Charles.
Colin walked low-key among these soldiers, listening to their gossip.
Then he suddenly discovered that these soldiers had unexpected changes in their attitude towards Marquis Charles.
Before today, these soldiers, especially the defeated soldiers who fled from the Mirror Lake battlefield, had a very poor attitude towards Marquis Charles.
Contempt, disgust, spurn.
It is not surprising that a defeated general has such notoriety.
What's more, the Marquis of Charles also launched an emergency call-up order and used all the recruits as cannon fodder bait.
It can be said that if he were not the eldest son of the Duke, if it were not for the prestige of the St. Hilde family in the north, the Marquis of Charles would have been eaten alive by these angry soldiers.
However, the cry of Marquis Charles during the day seemed to gradually turn public opinion.
Colin listened carefully to the soldier's discussion and gradually recalled.
He didn't know whether the cry of Marquis Charles was an outpouring of true feelings or a political show.
However, it is somewhat of a particular demeanor.
That person is an expert in this area, the more he cries, the more popular he is.
In addition, about the whip of Marquis Garcia, Colin now thinks about it and thinks it is very meaningful.
At that time, Colin's first impression of this was only one word - domineering!
This whip was not only drawn on Marquis Charles, but also on the face of the Duke of St. Hilde.
Colin thought that this was Marquis Garcia venting his dissatisfaction with the Duke. After all, the fiasco was due to the Duke hiding the Black Cavalry in the first place.
But now that he thinks about it, it also meant to help the Marquis of Charles get rid of the blame - I have whipped him in public, so you don't hate him anymore.
That's probably what it means.
From this point of view, Marquis García actually means some care for Marquis Charles...
Colin was thinking wildly, when suddenly a soldier came behind him:
"Knight Colin, Lord Charles wants to see you!"
Colin was stunned, obviously not thinking that the Marquis would come to him.
"Okay, please lead the way."
Colin thought about why Marquis Charles was looking for himself and followed the soldiers all the way to a luxury tent in the middle of the camp.
"Meet the Lord Marquis!" As the first heir to the loyal lord of the Angele family, Marquis Charles is qualified to accept Colin's bow.
"Knight Colin, please!"
The Marquis of Charles hurried forward and pulled Colin up in an affectionate manner.
The Marquis looked like he was in his thirties, his face was full of wind and frost, and his upper body was covered with bandages. He didn't know if he really suffered so many injuries or was doing a show again.
However, Colin didn't care about this either.
He is not one of those big-head soldiers, the superiors can get their forgiveness and sympathy by crying a few times casually.
"I don't know if the Lord Marquis came to me, what is your order?" Colin asked without a trace of Marquis Charles's overly enthusiastic hands and bowed.
The Marquis of Charles did not answer immediately, but turned around and took a two-handed sword from the guard and solemnly handed it to Colin.
"Sorry, Knight Colin, your father, Baron Angele...unfortunately, died on the front line...it was all my fault...this is his sword, please...sorry!"
As Marquis Charles spoke, he choked up again.
Colin had to admire the other party's acting skills, tears came just as he said.
"My lord Marquis, don't do this! Father died for the country, it is his glory, not your fault."
Colin also tried to squeeze out a few tears, with an impassioned expression on his face: "I swear that I will kill all the invading trolls and avenge my father! Lord Marquis must give me such a chance!"
The eyes of Marquis Charles brightened, obviously not thinking of Colin's interest and cooperation.
As soon as he grasped Colin's hands, he said loudly: "Don't worry, Knight Colin! I promise you that I will kill all these damn trolls, for Baron Angele and other soldiers in the north. Revenge!"
Colin resisted nausea in his heart: "Thank you, Lord Marquis!"
"This is what I should do, Knight Colin!"
The two of them held hands and looked at each other, with tears in their eyes, and the atmosphere gradually became a bit touching...
It took a long time for the two movie kings to calm down from the atmosphere just now.
Marquis Charles cleared up his mood and took Colin to sit down together: "Knight Colin, I heard Vera talk about your escape experience on this journey. Therefore, I also want to represent my father and the St. Hilde family. Thank you for protecting Vera from the trolls!"
"This is what I should do."
Marquis Charles nodded, but his tone was suddenly ambiguous:
"Knight Colin, from what my sister said, I can clearly feel that she values you. Moreover, I heard that she personally begged Archbishop Revan to heal you with pure holy water. Haha, I haven't seen her in the past few years. Seeing that my sister has paid so much attention to other men."
"Miss Vera's kindness, I have nothing to repay!"
Only then did Colin understand that the Marquis probably saw his military talent from Vera's narrative, and that's why he had the current act of buying people's hearts.
However, if Marquis Charles extended an olive branch to him before this battle, then Colin would not hesitate to be loyal.
But now, Colin will not easily get on this broken ship that is in danger of capsizing.
"But, Knight Colin, even if you inherited the position of the baron of the Angele family and want to marry my sister, I am afraid..." Marquis Charles continued, very heartfelt.
"My lord Marquis, how dare I have such an idea! Miss Vera is a goddess-like figure, where I dare to profanity!" Colin would not admit that he had such an idea.
"Haha, Knight Colin, you don't have to be so pretentious!" Marquis Charles waved his hand with a smile, "With your talents, you will be able to make contributions on the battlefield, and promotion of the title is not difficult."
"My lord Marquis, you're overwhelmed. Fighting for the North is a long-cherished wish of my life. I dare not expect more."
Colin was a little bit contemptuous in his heart. The Marquis even used his sister as a bargaining chip to buy people's hearts.
What's more, for Vera's marriage, Colin didn't believe how much Marquis Charles had the right to speak.
Of course, Marquis Charles may not really want to help Colin marry his sister.
This kind of politician's promise is just as unreliable as the boss's "work hard, and I will definitely get you a promotion and salary increase in the future."
As a result, Colin was flattered on the surface, even showing some attachment, but he was secretly wary in his heart.
The Marquis of Charles didn't seem to see Colin's perfunctory, and he still treated him enthusiastically.
The two talked freely for a long time, and they had a lot of intention to meet each other later.
It wasn't until late at night that Colin got up to leave.
The Marquis of Charles personally sent him out of the tent.
As Colin bowed to salute and prepare to say goodbye, Marquis Charles suddenly looked behind Colin and said in surprise:
"Huh? Sister, it's so late, you're still awake!"
