TOV38
Accompanied by the sound of melodious music, couples of men and women danced gracefully on the dance floor of the banquet hall.
They danced the most orthodox court dance of the Glorious Empire.
Kind of similar to the Waltz on Earth.
The male and female dance partners need to leverage each other to complete a series of harmoniously and lightly reflexes, swings, and rotations at extremely fast speeds. The dance steps are light, smooth, elegant, and generous.
In such a rapid rotation, everything around will become blurred, only the face of the opposite partner in the arms is clearly visible.
Spin, spin, spin again.
It seems to be with the person in his arms to turn to the wasteland.
However, the music will eventually end.
The song is over.
Colin took Vera, who was light and boneless, to complete the last round.
Then reluctantly retracted the right hand resting on Vera's smooth back, stepped back slightly, and leaned over to salute.
"Thank you, Miss Vera, this is the most memorable dance I ever danced!"
Vera's face was still flushed, and she gasped slightly, as if she hadn't recovered from the dance just now.
When she heard Colin's fresh flattery, she smiled slyly: "Knight Colin, how do I feel that you have said this to many girls."
Colin raised his head without panic.
He knew very well that at this time, what he should do is not to defend but to attack.
So he smiled and said: "Please believe me, from now on, I will only say similar things to you!"
Sure enough, Colin's slightly blunt words made Vera suddenly uncomfortable.
"Speech!" Vera said to Colin angrily, but there was a shameful smile on her face.
At this time, Colin could already feel the gazes around him full of "killing intent".
Obviously, after successfully becoming Vera's first dance partner, Colin naturally became the public enemy of all the male nobles present.
However, he obviously didn't care.
Vera's "big thick legs", he is holding onto it!
Because he had already seen the figure of Earl Uman in the crowd.
The fear of being assassinated instantly shrouded Colin's heart, so he had to find ways to raise his own worth and make the opponent throw a rat.
After sending Vera back to Marquis Garcia, Colin politely said his goodbyes.
He understands the truth that it's too early, and it's a foolish act to be around Vera at this time.
But still not waiting for him to go far, a young man stood in front of Colin.
Huh?
Did the supporting actor who was sent for the face fight come out so soon?
Colin thought wildly while smiling politely: "Excuse me, are you?"
The young man coldly sneered: "Knight Colin, I heard that you have used my identity, why? Don't you even recognize me?"
Colin slightly suffocated, and immediately realized who this person was in front of him.
No wonder he looked familiar, he looked as annoying as that crazy woman.
Worthy of being a sister and brother.
"It turned out to be knight Kahn Sudor! It's an honor, It's an honor!" Colin said that, but there was no trace of respect in his expression.
Kahn apparently didn't like Colin very much, and said in a weird manner: "Knight Colin, you said, if the noble Miss Vera knew that the knight dancing with her just now turned out to be a liar, how would she react?"
Facing Kahn’s threat, Colin shrugged, as if he didn’t care: “You’ll know if you try.”
Kahn's face suddenly sank, as if he was uncertain whether Colin was really confident or pretentious.
But I didn't wait for him to continue to think about it, but he heard Colin suddenly lowered his voice and said: "However if I were you, I would first care about your good sister."
"What's wrong with my sister?"
Seeing the other party's, Colin chuckled and provocatively said:
"You know, it is your sister knight Cynthia who really led the army to regain the Ice Rock City. So, according to the rule of the lord, it should be her, not you, who will inherit the title of the Sudor family?"
"Nonsense!" Kahn was like a kitten with its tail trampled, suddenly exploding, "I am the first heir to the Sudor family!"
"Such words, you'd better keep them in front of the Duke of St. Hilde." Colin stretched his hands and signaled that this matter has nothing to do with him.
Kahn almost couldn't control his anger with this look, staring ferociously at Colin, heavily breathing.
It seemed that he was going to beat up this extremely hateful guy in front of him.
But soon, Kahn fell silent.
Because a palm was pressed on his shoulder.
Kahn turned his head, his face immediately became very submissive: "Uncle!"
Colin's pupils also shrank instantly, looking at the incoming person - Earl Uman.
"Master Earl." Colin carefully lowered his head, not wanting the other person to see the fear hidden in his eyes.
Earl Uman is a mature and elegant middle-aged man with a faint smile on his face, as if he is polite to everyone.
But the hint of coldness hidden in his burgundy eyes from time to time showed that the Lord Earl was not a kind old man.
"Colin, I'm so happy to see that you are alright!" Earl Uman also patted Colin's shoulder lightly, with a heartfelt smile on his face, "I heard that you met assassination in Greycastle, what the hell is going on? Who is so bold?"
Colin raised his head, with a cordial smile on his face: "The assassin was knight Carter. As for who instigated him... is still under investigation."
"Carter?" Earl Uman snorted, and said angrily, "That unfamiliar white-eyed wolf is really a shame in the knight world! Don't worry, I will send someone to investigate this matter, and I will notify you if there is any information."
"Thank you very much for the help of Lord Earl!" Colin looked at the just and awe-inspiring earl before him, and suddenly felt that his acting skills might not be worse than that of Marquis Charles.
Earl Uman smiled and took care of Colin again, as if he was really a friendly elder.
Colin also dealt with it carefully, as if he had never suspected that his assassination was related to the earl in front of him.
Before leaving, Earl Uman lowered the volume again and asked: "Did you discuss with Marquis Charles that you want to come to the banquet in armor together?"
"No, I just happened to wear the same dress like him." Colin was a little strange, why did the other party suddenly ask this.
Earl Uman said with deep meaning: "Oh, that's good. But you have to be careful not to get too close to the Marquis of Charles."
"Why?" Colin directly asked.
Earl Uman did not answer, but the knight Kahn next to him sneered proudly:
"Idiot! Marquis Charles suffered such a terrible defeat this time, and ruined 200,000 northern troops. Don't you need to be responsible for it? You dare to join in..."
"Shut up!" Earl Uman groaned.
The knight Kahn suddenly shrank his head and turned into a quail again.
Earl Uman turned his head, and finally said to Colin: "Remember, our allegiance will always be the Duke of St. Hilde, not a Marquis."
Seeing Earl Uman's departure, Colin suddenly narrowed his eyes.
Only then did he realize that tonight's banquet seemed to be brewing a dangerous undercurrent.
