"Master Colin, it's really you!"

Colin was startled. When he looked back, he saw a group of patrolling cavalry gathering behind him.

The leader quickly dismounted and took off his helmet, revealing a face that was very familiar to Colin.

Raymond Mauben.

The three people loyal to Baron Angele, oh no, are now one of the two knights.

"Master Colin, why are you here?"

"I..." Colin looked at Raymond who was leaning over to salute him. He didn't know how to explain it to the knight, so he changed the subject and said, "Where is my father? Is he also in the camp now?"

Raymond's expression was suffocated, with a sad look in his eyes: "Didn't you receive the letter I sent back before?"

"What letter? How long ago did you send it?"

"About a month ago... It stands to reason that the messenger crow should have arrived in Graycastle long ago."

"I didn't receive any letters." Colin frowned, thinking that his previous guess was indeed correct - someone was really blocking news from the front line!

"How could this happen?" Raymond was also a little stunned.

"What did you say in the letter?"

Raymond lowered his head, and his tone became low, sad, and full of guilt: "I'm sorry, Master Colin. I wrote to tell you that the Baron was unfortunately killed in the battle more than a month ago... "

"What?" Colin was stunned.

Although Colin had no feelings for this cheap dad, he was still caught off guard by the sudden bad news.

The expected shelter just disappeared.

Moreover, it is gone forever.

However, in this case, wouldn't the baronetcy of the Angelet family fall to him?

wrong!

Title!

Colin suddenly realized a problem.

If he hadn't traveled through time, his predecessor would have been assassinated and died.

Therefore, after Baron Angelet died in battle and Colin was assassinated, the title should fall to...

On his sister - Caitlin Angelet!

As a result, Colin instantly realized that the person who really benefited the most from this assassination was his sister Caitlin!

Therefore, she is the most suspect.

Colin suddenly felt cold all over.

His sister actually deliberately wanted to kill him!

Fortunately, I didn't go to Fallen Eagle City.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be like falling into a trap...

In addition, Colin noticed another problem.

That is, his sister must have learned the news that her father was killed in battle, otherwise she would never dare to attack Colin.

After all, if Baron Angelet returned to Graycastle alive and found that his only son was dead, he would definitely not let it go.

Even if Caitlin's hands and feet are clean and the baron cannot trace the murderer, he is still in his prime after all and can marry another wife and have children, and the title may not necessarily fall to Caitlin.

Under such circumstances, Caitlin would definitely not take such a big risk to murder her brother.

Therefore, Caitlin must have learned the news that her father died on the front line through some way, and then she had evil thoughts...

Just when Colin was thinking wildly, Raymond choked and pulled out the sword from his waist, knelt down on one knee in front of Colin, held up the sword with both hands, and said with emotion:

"I failed to protect Lord Baron and violated my original oath. Master Colin, you have the right to judge me!"

Colin came back to his senses, looked at Knight Raymond who was half kneeling in front of him, and suddenly asked: "Where is Knight Valla?"

Raymond was obviously stunned, obviously not understanding why Colin suddenly asked this, but he still replied honestly: "The knights of Valla were scattered during the battle, I'm afraid..."

"So you didn't see Varla's body."

"No."

Valla Uman, the husband of Colin's sister Caitlin, and the illegitimate son of Count Uman, the lord of Fallen Eagle City.

Baron Angelet was strongly opposed to this marriage.

Although Valla is the illegitimate son of the earl, his bloodline is impure and his status is low.

And Baron Angelet was not the kind of person to cling to power, and he did not want his legitimate daughter to marry an illegitimate son.

Unexpectedly, Caitlin and Valla saw each other right, and they seemed to be desperate for love, almost staging a different-world version of the story of Romeo and Juliet.

Later, the baron really had nothing to do with his daughter, and seeing that Valla was indeed outstanding and already a second-level knight at a young age, he nodded and agreed to their engagement.

During this expedition, Valla also went to the front line, and he actually disappeared during the battle...

Now, Colin was 90% sure that it was Varla who was delivering the news to his sister.

As for why his news was not blocked, I am afraid that Count Uman also played a role in it.

Perhaps Count Uman was the real mastermind of the assassination.

After all, after Caitlin inherits the title, her and Valla's child will be the next heir.

In this way, the baronetcy of the Angelet family naturally flowed into the Uman family.

Count Uman...

Colin chewed on this powerful name in the north, and the stern look in his eyes flashed away.

Then, he took the long sword from Knight Raymond who was half kneeling in front of him, and slowly swung it towards the opponent's neck.

Raymond closed his eyes and remained motionless.

The long sword fell on Raymond's shoulder.

But he didn't move forward.

"Knight Raymond Mauben, will you be loyal to me?"

Raymond suddenly raised his head and looked at Colin, his eyes filled with shock, guilt, and a hint of happiness for surviving the disaster.

Of course Colin would not kill Raymond.

Through the test just now, he had confirmed Raymond's loyalty.

A traitor will not expose his neck to his master's sword.

Colin admired Raymond's almost pedantic loyalty.

Especially after experiencing the betrayal of Knight Carter and witnessing the filial son Thrall's patricide for glory, an honest man like Knight Raymond becomes even more rare.

"Bang!"

Raymond hit his chest hard with his left hand, maintained a half-kneeling position, and swore loudly:

"I, Raymond Morben, today offer my unparalleled loyalty to the great roaring white bear, Baron Colin Angelet!

As long as I live, your will will be my goal, and where your sword points is my direction!

I swear in the sacred name of the ancestors of the Moben family that I will always be loyal to you! "

The roaring white bear is the emblem of the Angelet family.

As for the position of baron, strictly speaking, it has not fallen to Colin. After all, he still needs to be recognized by Duke St. Hilde.

However, as the first-in-line heir of the Angelet family, it is not wrong for Raymond to call Colin this when the old baron died in the battle.

After all, as long as the Angelet family retains its territory and Colin does not commit treason, then even Duke St. Hilde cannot prevent him from inheriting the position of baron.

"Get up."

Colin smiled and asked Raymond to stand up, returned the sword to him, and then asked:

"Where is Marquis Charles's camp? I would like to meet with him to learn about the specific situation of this army and its next move."

"Your Majesty the Marquis..." Knight Raymond's face suddenly became a little embarrassed, "My Lord the Marquis is not in the camp."

"What?"
