After nightfall, the temperature begins to drop.

Spring nights in the north are also quite cold.

In the camp, the soldiers lit bonfires to heat themselves and boil water for cooking.

At the same time, chatting started.

The content is, of course, the meeting between the two marquises during the day, the whip of Marquis Garcia, and the cry of Marquis Charles.

Colin mingled among these soldiers in a low-key manner, listening to their chatter.

Then he suddenly discovered that the attitude of these soldiers towards Marquis Charles had unexpected changes.

Before today, these soldiers, especially the defeated soldiers who escaped from the battlefield of Mirror Lake, had a very bad attitude towards Marquis Charles.

Contempt, disgust, contempt.

It is certainly not surprising that a defeated general has such a bad reputation.

What's more, the Marquis Charles also issued an emergency conscription order and used the conscripted people as cannon fodder bait.

It can be said that if he were not the eldest son of the Duke, and if the St. Hilde family was not so prestigious in the north, Marquis Charles would have been eaten alive by these angry soldiers.

However, Marquis Charles's cry during the day seemed to gradually turn public opinion.

Colin listened carefully to the soldiers' discussion and gradually came back to his senses.

He didn't know whether Marquis Charles's cry was an expression of true feelings or a political show.

However, he does have a bit of Liu Daer's demeanor.

That person is an expert in this field. The more he cries, the more popular he becomes.

In addition, Colin felt that the whip given by Marquis Garcia was very meaningful now that he thought about it.

At that time, Colin's first feeling about this was only two words - domineering!

This whip not only hit Marquis Charles, but also hit Duke St. Hilde in the face.

Colin originally thought that this was Marquis Garcia venting his dissatisfaction with the Duke. After all, this fiasco was ultimately due to the Duke hiding the Black Cavalry in the snow.

This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

But now that I think about it, it also means helping Marquis Charles get rid of the blame - I have already whipped him in public, so you should stop resenting him.

That's probably what it means.

From this point of view, Marquis Garcia actually shows some concern for Marquis Charles...

Colin was thinking wildly when a soldier suddenly came behind him:

"Knight Colin, Lord Marquis Charles invites you!"

Colin was stunned, obviously not expecting that the Marquis would actually come to him.

"Okay, please lead the way."

While thinking about why Marquis Charles was looking for him, Colin followed the soldiers to a luxurious tent in the center of the camp.

"Meet the Marquis!" As the first heir to the Lord who is loyal to the Angelet family, Marquis Charles is qualified to accept Colin's kneeling.

"Knight Colin, please wake up!"

Marquis Charles stepped forward quickly and pulled Colin up affectionately.

The Marquis looked to be in his thirties, with a weathered face, and his naked upper body was covered with bandages. It was not clear whether he had really suffered so many injuries or was just putting on a show.

However, Colin didn't care about this.

He is not one of those high-ranking soldiers. The superiors can gain their forgiveness and sympathy by just crying a few times.

"I wonder what the Marquis's order was when he came to me?" Colin shook off Marquis Charles' overly enthusiastic hands without leaving a trace, and bowed and asked.

Marquis Charles did not answer immediately, but turned around and took a two-handed sword from the guard and handed it to Colin solemnly.

"I'm sorry, Knight Colin. Your father, Baron Angele... unfortunately died on the front line... It's all my fault... This is his sword. Please... express your condolences!"

Marquis Charles choked up again as he spoke.

Colin couldn't help but admire the other party's acting skills. Tears came at every turn, which was much better than some dead-faced young meat.

"Master Marquis, please don't do this! It is his honor that my father died for the country, not your fault."

Colin also tried his best to squeeze out a few tears, with an impassioned look on his face: "I swear that I will kill all the invading trolls and avenge my father! Please give me such an opportunity, Lord Marquis!"

Marquis Charles's eyes lit up, obviously he didn't expect Colin to be so understanding and cooperative.

He held Colin's hands and said loudly: "Don't worry, Knight Colin! I promise you that I will kill all these damn trolls and avenge Baron Angele and the other sacrificed northern soldiers!" "

Colin suppressed the nausea in his heart: "Thank you, Lord Marquis!"

"This is what I should do, Colin Knight!"

The two of them held hands and looked at each other with tears in their eyes. The atmosphere gradually became a bit gay...

It took a long time for the two movie stars to calm down from the atmosphere just now.

Marquis Charles calmed down and sat down with Colin: "Knight Colin, I heard Vera talk about your experience of escaping. Therefore, on behalf of my father and the St. Hilde family, I would like to thank you for protecting Vera." Stay safe from the trolls!"

"This is what I should do."

Marquis Charles nodded, and then his tone suddenly became ambiguous:

"Knight Colin, from what my sister said, I can clearly feel how much she values you. Moreover, I heard that she personally begged Archbishop Raven to use pure holy water to treat you. Haha, in all these years, I have never I’ve seen my sister pay so much attention to other men.”

"I can't repay Miss Vera's kindness!"

Only then did Colin understand that the Marquis probably saw his military talent from Vera's narrative, so he made the current move to win people's hearts.

However, if Marquis Charles had extended an olive branch to him before this battle, Colin would have loyal to him without hesitation.

But now, Colin would not easily board this broken ship that was in danger of capsizing.

"But, Knight Colin, even if you inherit the title of Baron from the Angelet family, if you want to marry my sister, I'm afraid..." Marquis Charles continued, quite heartily.

"Master Marquis, how dare I have such an idea! Miss Vera is a goddess-like figure, how dare I blaspheme!" Colin would not admit that he had such an idea.

"Haha, Knight Colin, you don't have to belittle yourself like this!" Marquis Charles smiled and waved his hand, "With your talents, you will definitely be able to make achievements on the battlefield, and it will not be difficult to be promoted to a knighthood."

"Your Majesty, Marquis, you are very grateful. Fighting for the North is my lifelong wish, and I dare not expect more."

Colin felt a little disdainful in his heart. The Marquis actually used his sister as a bargaining chip to win people's hearts.

What's more, Colin didn't believe that Marquis Charles had much say in Vera's marriage.

Of course, Marquis Charles may not really want to help Colin marry his sister.

This kind of promise from a politician is as unreliable as the boss's "If you work hard, you will be promoted and raised in salary in the future."

Therefore, Colin was flattered on the surface and even showed some attachment, but he was secretly wary in his heart.

Marquis Charles did not seem to notice Colin's perfunctory behavior and still treated him warmly.

The two talked for a long time, and they seemed to regret meeting each other so late.

It wasn't until late at night that Colin got up to say goodbye.

The Marquis of Charles personally escorted him outside the camp.

Just as Colin was bowing and preparing to say goodbye, Marquis Charles suddenly looked behind Colin and said in surprise:

"Eh? Sister, it's so late and you haven't slept yet!"
