Accompanied by the melodious music, couples of men and women danced gracefully on the dance floor of the banquet hall.

What they danced was the most orthodox palace dance of the Glorious Empire.

Kind of like a Viennese Waltz on Earth.

Male and female dance partners need to leverage each other's strength to complete a series of reflexes, swings, and rotations harmoniously and lightly at extremely fast speeds. The entire dance steps are light, smooth, elegant and generous.

In such a rapid rotation, everything around him will become blurred, and only the face of the opposite dance partner in his arms can be clearly seen.

Spin, spin, spin again.

It seems that I want to live forever with the person in my arms.

But, the music will eventually end.

The song is over.

Colin led Vera, who was as light as a bone, to complete the last turn.

Then he reluctantly took back the right hand that was resting on Vera's smooth back, stepped back slightly, and leaned forward to bow.

"Thank you, Miss Vera, this is the most unforgettable dance I have ever danced!"

Vera's little face was still flushed, and she was still panting slightly, as if she hadn't recovered from the dance just now.

Hearing Colin's flat flattery, she smiled slyly: "Knight Colin, why do I feel that you may have said this to many girls?"

Colin raised his head, not panicking at all.

He knew very well that at this time, what he should do was not to defend, but to attack.

So he smiled and said: "Please believe me, from now on, I will only say similar words to you!"

Sure enough, Colin's somewhat straightforward words made Vera unable to resist.

"Funny words!" Vera rolled her eyes at Colin angrily, but there was a shy smile on her face.

At this time, Colin could already feel the "murderous" gazes around him.

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

Obviously, after successfully becoming Vera's first dance partner, Colin naturally became the public enemy of all the male nobles present.

However, he clearly didn't care.

He is sure to hold onto Vera's "big thick legs"!

Because he had already seen Count Uman in the crowd.

The fear of being assassinated instantly enveloped Colin's mind, forcing him to find ways to raise his own worth to make the other party take advantage of him.

After sending Vera back to Marquis Garcia, Colin politely left.

He understood that going too far was not enough, and hanging around Vera at this time was a stupid behavior.

But before he had gone far, a young man stood in front of Colin.

Huh?

Did the supporting character who was sent for a slap in the face appear so soon?

Colin was thinking wildly while smiling politely: "Excuse me, who are you?"

The young man smiled coldly: "Knight Colin, I heard that you impersonated me. What's wrong? You still can't recognize me?"

Colin suffocated slightly and immediately realized who the person in front of him was.

No wonder she looks familiar, she looks just as annoying as that crazy woman.

As expected of siblings.

"It turns out to be Knight Karn Sudor! Long admire, long admire!" Colin said long admire, but there was no respect in his expression.

Kahn was obviously very unhappy with Colin, and said in a sinister tone: "Knight Colin, tell me, how would the noble Miss Vera react if she knew that the knight she just danced with turned out to be a liar?"

Facing Kahn's threat, Colin shrugged, as if he didn't care: "You'll know if you try it."

Kahn's face suddenly darkened, as if he was unsure whether Colin was really confident or just pretending.

But before he could continue to test, Colin suddenly lowered his voice and said, "But if I were you, I would first care about your good sister."

"What happened to my sister?"

Seeing that the other party took the bait, Colin chuckled and provoked:

"You know, it was your sister, Knight Cynthia, who really led the army to regain Ice Rock City. Therefore, according to the Lord's Law, should she be the one to inherit the title of the Suduo family, not you?"

"Nonsense!" Kahn was like a kitten whose tail was stepped on, and his fur suddenly exploded. "I am the first heir to the Sudo family!"

"You should keep saying this in front of Duke St. Hilde." Colin spread his hands, indicating that this matter had nothing to do with him.

This look of being in need of a beating made Kahn barely able to control his anger, staring at Colin fiercely and breathing heavily.

As if he wanted to beat up this extremely hateful guy in front of him.

But soon, Kahn became quiet.

Because, a palm pressed on his shoulder.

Kahn turned around and his expression immediately became extremely respectful: "Uncle!"

Colin's pupils also shrank instantly and he looked at the person coming - Count Uman.

"My Lord Earl." Colin lowered his head carefully, not wanting the other party to see the fear hidden in his eyes.

Earl Uman is a mature and elegant middle-aged man. He always has a faint smile on his face and seems to be polite to everyone.

But there was a hint of hidden coldness in his burgundy eyes from time to time, which showed that the earl was not a kind and good man.

"Colin, I'm so happy to see you're okay!" Earl Uman also patted Colin's shoulder gently, with a heartfelt smile on his face, "I heard that you were assassinated in Graycastle. , what’s going on? Who is so bold?”

Colin raised his head, with a friendly smile on his face: "The assassin is Knight Carter. As for who is behind him...it is still under investigation."

"Carter?" Count Uman snorted and said angrily, "That ignorant white-eyed wolf is really a shame to the knight world! Don't worry, I will send someone to investigate this matter, and I will definitely inform you if there is any news."

"Thank you very much for your help, Lord Count!" Colin looked at the just and awe-inspiring earl in front of him, and suddenly felt that his acting skills were probably no worse than those of Marquis Charles.

Count Uman smiled and took care of Colin a few more words, as if he was really a friendly elder.

Colin also dealt with it carefully, as if he had never doubted that his assassination was related to the count in front of him.

Before leaving, Count Uman lowered his voice again and asked, "Did you and Marquis Charles agree to come to the banquet wearing armor together?"

"No, I just happened to think of it together." Colin was a little surprised as to why the other party suddenly asked this.

Count Uman said meaningfully: "Oh, that's good. However, you must be careful not to get too close to Marquis Charles."

"Why?" Colin asked directly.

Earl Uman did not answer, but Knight Kahn next to him arrogantly mocked:

"Idiot! Marquis Charles was defeated so miserably this time and destroyed 200,000 northern troops. Don't you need to be responsible for this? You actually dare to join in..."

"Shut up!" Count Uman growled.

Knight Kahn immediately shrank his head and turned into a quail again.

Earl Uman turned his head and said one last word to Colin: "Remember, our allegiance is always only to Duke St. Hilde, not to any marquis."

Looking at Count Uman's leaving figure, Colin suddenly narrowed his eyes.

Only then did he realize that there seemed to be a dangerous undercurrent brewing at tonight's banquet.
