The quiet night shrouded the earth, and the chirping of insects embellished the small and quiet garden with vitality.

Colin looked at the bright moonlight in the sky, sipping the scented tea in his hand, and waited quietly.

Waiting for what kind of surprise Prince Harrison can bring to him.

The reason he came to Agate Manor this time was actually for Joyce.

Although he had never regarded this child as a real threat, Colin was about to leave the North for a while, so leaving such a hidden danger in Winter City felt a little uncomfortable.

Moreover, Colin also received a report from his subordinates and knew that Count Evan from the East was in Winter City at this time, but he did not disclose his identity and did not come to visit Lion’s Roar Castle.

Colin knew that the other party should have come to the north to find Prince Lehi. After all, traveling with Count Evan was the prince’s daughter Salia.

It’s just that since they came to Winter City, it would be a bit rude not to come to Lion’s Roar Castle to pay a visit to the Duke of the North. This also made Colin feel that the evil Earl Evan might be up to some conspiracy, so only those with a guilty conscience dare not come to Lion’s Roar Castle.

Therefore, Colin had to nip all hidden dangers in the bud before leaving.

The night was getting darker, and Colin was wondering why Prince Harrison didn’t take action. Could it be that he was scared when things got imminent?

At this moment, an attendant hurriedly ran into the garden and reported urgently:

“Your Majesty, something happened!”

He finally arrived.

Colin’s heart moved and he asked calmly: “What’s wrong?”

“Master Joyce, he…he…you’d better go there in person.”

Seeing the attendant’s hesitant expression, Colin’s eyes rolled. After a few laps, he stood up quickly and said, “Let’s go.”

“Yes!”

The two walked through the dim corridor and arrived at the back courtyard of the manor.

There was already a circle of guards and servants surrounding the place, but they were all standing outside and did not dare to go in.

When he saw Colin striding closer, the manor’s butler hurriedly greeted him and said respectfully:

“Your Excellency, Prince Harrison, Princess Judy and Master Joyce are all inside. There seems to be some conflict. Please hurry up.” Let’s go in and take a look.”

“Contradiction?” Colin’s expression changed slightly and he asked doubtfully.

The housekeeper didn’t elaborate further, but just signaled to Colin with his eyes that it was not convenient for the matter to be made public.

Colin didn’t ask any more questions and strode into the room.

There were only three little guys in the room and no one else.

Princess Judy was sitting at the table, rubbing her sleepy eyes and feeling very depressed.

On both sides of her, Prince Harrison and Joyce stood face to face, their faces flushed, as if they had just had a quarrel.

There is a set of flip chess on the table, which the three of them must have been playing before,

but now the atmosphere in the room is very solemn.

Seeing Colin walking in, Prince Harrison’s eyes lit up and he shouted quickly: “Count Angelet, this Joyce is so bold that he wants to molest Sister Judy. Please send someone to arrest him quickly…”

“Nonsense! “Joyce retorted with a sharp voice, “You are slandering! I obviously didn’t do anything!” ”

What slander? When I came in just now, I clearly saw you plotting something against Judy!”

“You saw it wrong. , I was just checking to see why Her Royal Highness the Princess suddenly fell down on the table?”

“Okay!” Colin raised his hand to interrupt the argument between the two little boys, then looked at Princess Judy and asked with concern, ” Judy? Are you okay?”

“I…” Princess Judy rubbed her eyes, yawned again, and said, “I’m fine, just a little sleepy…”

Colin frowned and stepped forward to pick up Zhu. The water glass in front of Princess Di was brought to her nose and smelled.

Prince Harrison immediately shouted: “Count Angelet, I suspect that Joyce has drugged the water. Please ask the pharmacist to check!”

Joyce was startled and shouted: “Nonsense! How could I drug the princess’s water?”

Colin was speechless.

He had already smelled something wrong in Princess Judy’s water, and immediately guessed that Harrison had administered the drug, and wanted to blame Joyce, but this method… was too rough.

Well, he is a child after all, and it is really difficult for him to come up with such a seamless plan.

Colin was just thinking about how to help Prince Harrison carry out this dirty trick, when he heard Prince Harrison shout again:

“You still want to deny it? Count Angelet, take a look at Judy’s neck. These are all traces left by this Joyce!”

Joyce was obviously taken aback.

Colin also blinked, obviously not expecting that this kid actually had a trick up his sleeve.

So, he immediately took a few steps forward, approached Judy, and asked: “Judy, do you feel any discomfort in your neck?”

Princess Judy seemed to realize that something was wrong, and stretched out her hand to rub her neck, mouthing in confusion. He said, “It seems a little… itchy.”

Colin opened Judy’s collar, and sure enough he saw a red patch on her neck.

Prince Harrison immediately shouted triumphantly: “Joyce, do you still want to deny it now?”

“I…I didn’t do anything!” Joyce blushed and shouted aggrievedly, “Count Angelet, these are all Harrison’s attempts to frame me. You must not believe him!”

Prince Harrison He was unyielding and said step by step: “Joyce, it’s obvious now that it’s useless for you to deny it. You just used the excuse of playing chess to trick Judy here, and then in her The cup was drugged, and I wanted to take the opportunity to do something evil!”

“You’re talking nonsense! I didn’t! I didn’t!” Joyce just kept shaking his head in denial, but couldn’t produce any conclusive evidence to prove his innocence.

Prince Harrison, on the other hand, looked complacent, as if he felt that he had irrefutable evidence.

Colin looked at the familiar scene in front of him and suddenly remembered a similar frame-up incident that occurred in the Holy Light Cathedral in Yulong City.

Perhaps, this means that like father (mother), like son.

Of course, compared to the frame-up methods of Emperor Reinhard and Queen Midela, Harrison is actually a bit immature and can be exposed easily.

For example, regarding the marks on Judy’s neck, Colin had already seen some tiny catkins on her collar.

However, this method is still enough to deal with a kid like Joyce. Looking at him now, he is obviously panicked.

“Count Angelet, please hurry up and arrest this Joyce! How can he blaspheme the princess of the royal family?”

“I didn’t! I didn’t!” Joyce made a feeble defense, tears streaming down his face. His eyes were spinning, and he was almost crying.

Colin was secretly disdainful, but did not arrest Joyce as Prince Harrison said. Instead, he said vaguely:

“This matter requires further investigation. However, Master Joyce, you should go back to the Lion City first.” Come on, Agate Manor is no longer suitable for you.”

Joyce obviously didn’t expect Colin to let him go like this. He nodded repeatedly and thanked: “Count Angele, you must investigate carefully. I really didn’t do this!”

After saying that, he looked at Prince Harrison hatefully and ran out as if he were running away.

Prince Harrison stamped his feet anxiously and complained: “Teacher, why did you just let him go like this?”

Colin ignored Harrison and asked Judy: “Judy, how are you doing now? Do you need it?” Shall I ask a priest to come and take a look at you?”

Before Judy could speak, Prince Harrison whispered: “It’s okay, just take a nap, and you’ll be fine.”

Colin gave Harrison a hard look, and then put his eyes on him. The confused Judy picked her up and put her on the bed in the back room.

After a few more words with the maid outside, he said to Prince Harrison:

“Come with me.”
