Queen Midela sunk her body into the soft sofa, smiling with her pretty red lips, holding her chest with one hand and supporting her chin with the other.

Her golden hair was casually draped over her shoulders like the midday sun, and her slender, snow-white calves were gently swaying under the red skirt. She had a lazy attitude and a charming look.

Unfortunately, Colin was not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful picture in front of him at this time.

There was even a strong dissatisfaction rising in his heart –

It was obviously Emperor Reinhardt who caused the trouble, but he was constantly running around trying to win the support of big bosses from all sides, while you and your wife were just pretending to be sick. a heartless show-off…

“Aunt, are you waiting for us?”

“Yes.” Queen Midela sat up straight and smiled. “Looking at you, you know that Consul Lattom “Is there any news of his death?”

Vera glanced at Colin, and seeing his gloomy face, she nodded and said, “Yes, we just had dinner at the Archon’s house in Crete and heard the news.

Auntie, why do you look like this? Not worried at all?”

“What’s there to worry about?” Queen Midela smiled sweetly. “It’s you who are messing around with this matter.

Hey, didn’t I tell you from the beginning? In the Phoenix Palace, just wait with peace of mind. When the time comes, Vera will naturally inherit the position of Duke of the North.” ”

Aunt, Prince Lehi is going to launch a war against Jewell, so how can I wait here with peace of mind?” ”

Then you have been struggling for a few days; have you gotten any good results?”

Faced with Queen Midela’s rhetorical question, Vera suddenly felt depressed, lowered her head, and stopped talking.

Colin took over the conversation at this time and asked in a deep voice, “Your Majesty the Queen, do you already have a solution?”

Queen Midela smiled charmingly but did not answer Colin’s question but said:

“Lattom is in power. The official’s death is unclear, and at such a critical and sensitive moment, the Senate will not let it go. Some people will definitely pay the price for this!”

Colin looked at the confident Queen Midela, and reluctantly, he couldn’t help but blurt out, “Are you so sure that the Senate can catch the real murderer?”

“Of course!” Queen Midela replied without hesitation.

Colin’s brows furrowed tightly. He was about to say, with Prince Lehi’s strength, that killing an aging consul would leave any traces.

But then he realized that this was just a game!

Queen Midela is so confident that there is only one possibility: frame her!

Colin found that he had been misled all along. Prince Lehi had indeed benefited the most from the death of Consul Lattom, so he took it for granted that it was Prince Lehi who killed him.

Moreover, Prince Lehi did have the strength to kill a consul without anyone noticing.

However, Queen Midela’s attitude now made Colin realize that Consul Lattom may not have been killed by Prince Lehi!

It could also be the queen; no, it should be a trap set by Emperor Reinhardt and his family for Prince Lehi.

Colin didn’t know what they did to Archon Lattom’s body so that Prince Lehi could not escape the suspicion of murder.

But judging from the look on Queen Midela’s face, they must be confident enough to keep Prince Lehi speechless.

As long as Prince Lehi is accused of killing a consul, he will definitely become a public enemy of the nobles.

Even if no one dares to execute a Paladin for such a crime, Prince Lehi has alienated everyone and completely lost his appeal. It is estimated that he will only become a wandering knight from now on.

As a result, the proposal to declare war on the mage naturally died.

Moreover, through this matter, the emperor also got rid of the biggest obstacle to his control of the empire. From now on, Yulong City will truly be under the absolute control of Emperor Reinhardt.

Looking at Colin’s changing expression, Queen Midela seemed to see through what he was thinking.

She quietly stood up, came to Colin, and said calmly, “Now you should understand why I reminded you not to mess around at the welcome banquet, right?”

At this time, the charming look on Queen Midela’s face has disappeared, replaced by an awe-inspiring dignity, demonstrating the authority that an imperial queen should have.

Of course, Colin understood.

It turns out that this proposal to declare war was a trap from beginning to end, just to weave a motive for killing Prince Lehi!

As for whether the proposal would pass, Queen Midela had not cared about it from the beginning.

It’s ridiculous that Colin and Vera were still kept in the dark and were running around trying to be smart.

What’s even more ridiculous is that Colin was almost successful. With the support of the elders of the Western Region and the delay of Consul Lattom, Vera could remotely put pressure on the elders of the Northern Region through Marquis Garcia. Let them vote against the proposal despite Archon Sebas’s request.

Who would have thought that at the last moment, it would be his own allies who would nip Colin and others’ plans in the bud?

No, not an ally.

Colin once thought that he was an ally with the emperor and empress, but he didn’t expect that they didn’t take him seriously at all.

“Just wait with peace of mind.” “Don’t mess around.”.

Colin and Vera’s efforts in the past few days are nothing but a joke in each other’s eyes. Even if they are close to achieving their goals, their goals are not the goals of the emperor and empress, and their efforts can also be wiped out by the emperor and empress at will.

Queen Midela looked at Colin expressionlessly and said coldly, “Perhaps we had some misunderstandings in Silvermoon City before, and you lacked the necessary trust in me.

But I don’t want this to happen again; otherwise,

Queen Midela did not continue speaking, but her stern eyes made her meaning very clear.

Seeing this, Vera quickly stepped forward to persuade her: “Auntie, we also want to help this time. It’s not that we don’t believe you.”

Colin suppressed the anger in his heart, lowered his head, and said respectfully, “Your Highness, I know that this time I was reckless and almost ruined your plan. I sincerely apologize to you.

As for the misunderstanding you mentioned about Silver Moon City, I assure you that there is no such thing at all!

I have nothing but infinite respect and trust for you!”

“That’s the best.” A charming smile finally appeared on Queen Midela’s face again. “Kelin, you are a smart man and a capable person. With you assisting Vera in guarding the North, Your Majesty You and I are at ease.

So, don’t do stupid things again; otherwise, Vera will be the Lord of the North!”

This sentence is very serious.

Colin and Vera could only bow their heads and endure it.

The authority of the Queen of the Empire was fully demonstrated at this moment.

“Okay, you guys should go to bed early. There will be a good show to watch tomorrow.”

After saying this, Queen Midela swayed her waist lightly and walked out gracefully.

Vera thought of something and suddenly shouted from behind: “Auntie, we met Mr. Ernest, the Speaker of the Mages Council, on the way back. He said he wanted to see His Majesty!”

But Queen Midela didn’t look back. and coldly said, “Haha, he is just an idiot who was immersed in arcane research and made himself stupid. He still wants to see His Majesty…”

Before he finished speaking, Miaoman’s figure had disappeared into the night.

“Kelin, it seems that aunt is really angry.” Vera held Colin’s hand with some anxiety and said softly.

“Don’t worry, we didn’t cause any trouble. Your aunt just gave us a lesson,” Colin comforted with a smile.

Vera nodded and said, “Then let’s ask my aunt for her opinion first on what we do in the future, and don’t question her decision anymore.”

“Okay.” Colin agreed with a smile, looking into her eyes. Dangerous light lurks quietly.

How could he possibly endure such contempt from Queen Midela?

Especially the other party’s words, “Vera is not the master of the North,” made Colin realize that what Queen Midela wanted was just an obedient North. As for who should be the master of the North, she might really not give a damn about it.

Vera can do it, and so can Joyce.

This gave Colin a deep sense of crisis.
