japanese人妻中文字幕

The sunlight outside the window was brilliant, casting patchy beams that danced upon the citrus-yellow teak floor, creating shimmering halos of light.

Bathed in warm sunlight, Vera slept peacefully on the round table.

The corners of her mouth curled upward slightly, dimples flashed across her face, she seemed to be having a pleasant dream.

However, such a pleasant scene couldn’t warm Colin’s heart.

Because he had now guessed that behind Cis, it must be Duke St. Hilde!

This ruthless Northern Duke, in order to have an excuse to march into Silver Moon City, was willing to sacrifice his adopted daughter!

Of course, this didn’t surprise Colin too much.

After all, Vera was not Duke St. Hilde’s biological daughter.

Not to mention, Vera posed a serious threat to the inheritance rights of Duke St. Hilde’s biological sons.

Charles had been discarded.

Adams was dead in Lion Roar Castle.

Only Joyce remained.

Perhaps, the moment Duke St. Hilde saw Adams die in front of him, he had made up his mind to get rid of Vera.

Colin suddenly understood why Duke St. Hilde insisted on him being the envoy for the wedding.

Perhaps it was the last bit of his conscience tormenting him.

After all, regardless of anything, Vera was his adopted daughter (and niece), they had spent over a decade together. The Duke couldn’t possibly be devoid of affection for her.

Having Colin as the envoy, was perhaps to allow Vera’s last journey in life to be accompanied by the man she loves.

This also explained why Knight Terlde was so cooperative, creating opportunities for Vera and Colin to meet privately.

So, was it actually a “last hurrah” before death?

Colin took a few deep breaths, suppressing the rage in his heart.

The anger of the weak is useless.

He understood that at present, he had no means to confront Duke St. Hilde alone.

Allies.

He needed allies!

Then, the image of a proud figure appeared in his mind—the Marquis Garcia!

To confront Duke St. Hilde, Colin must unite with Marquis Garcia.

At this thought, Colin suddenly had a bright idea.

The current situation made him realize that his previous plan could be tweaked to be even more perfect…

“Isa, I can help you get your revenge without killing Vera. Moreover, you don’t have to sacrifice your life. Would you, like to cooperate with me?”

Upon hearing Colin’s words, Queen Isa obediently nodded, “You gave me a new life, gave me a new mission, therefore, I will follow your arrangements,

Chosen One.”

Seeing how drastically Queen Isa had changed, Colin couldn’t help to secretly praise the effectiveness of his brainwashing method.

“Alright, from here on out, here is what you need to do…”

Outside the chamber, the Half-Elf nobles who had been waiting for a while were almost nodding off.

But due to Queen Isa’s earlier warning, they dared not to disturb. A few were starting to grumble internally

Just a physical examination—it’s not sex, is there any need for such a prolonged foreplay?

“Ah!!!”

A sudden scream from the bedchamber shocked the drowsy group awake.

Duke Miller’s expression changed drastically, exclaiming, “That’s Queen Isa’s voice!”

Saying this, he immediately rushed towards the bedchamber.

The rest hurriedly followed.

However, upon reaching the door, they halted; they were uncertain whether they should barge in.

Duke Miller shouted into the room, “Your Highness, what happened?”

Queen Isa didn’t answer, but shrieks and sounds of a fierce struggle came from inside.

Drawing the sword from his waist, Duke Lute decisively said, “There’s trouble inside, we have to go in!”

Duke Miller agreed with a nod.

Prince William hesitated slightly, then nodded and shouted, “Lady Vera, Queen Isa, we’re coming in!”

However, just when they prepared to rush in, Queen Isa, covered in fresh blood, rushed out!

“Your Highness ! ”

Just as everyone was about to step forward to ask what was happening, another figure rushed out, chasing after Queen Isa.

It was Prince Topaz!

But at the moment, Prince Topaz seemed off.

He was clutching a blood-stained longsword, chasing after Queen Isa!

Seeing this scene, Duke Miller felt like his soul was flying away, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

He immediately shouted, “Topaz! What are you doing? Stop it now!”

However, Prince Topaz paid no heed to Duke Miller’s words. He kept charging at Queen Isa, his eyes bloodshot.

“Topaz, you are courting death!” Duke Lute exclaimed angrily. His sword emanated a dazzling holy light, lunging directly at Prince Topaz.

Boom!

The marble floor shattered violently, with a large amount of debris spraying around like bullets. Some of them hit Prince Topaz and left bruises all over his body.

However, Duke Lute’s sword strike was more of a warning. Otherwise, with his fourth-level knight strength, a single strike would instantly kill Prince Topaz.

Duke Miller seized this opportunity to rush towards Prince Topaz, yelling,

“Topaz! What the hell are you doing? Drop your sword, now!”

Actually, Duke Miller’s action was mostly to save Prince Topaz, but unfortunately, Prince Topaz seemed to have completely lost his sanity, swinging his sword at Duke Miller directly.

Clang!

Duke Miller blocked Prince Topaz’s longsword, but his heart sank deeper.

Meanwhile, Queen Isa, who had escaped the crisis, suddenly turned around, screaming desperately, “Kill him! I command you to kill him!”

Prince William watched everything in a daze, unable to understand the situation at all. He quickly asked, “Your Highness, the queen, what on earth is happening inside? Why has Topaz become like this?”

“He’s gone mad, he’s gone mad!” Queen Isa wept desperately, her face stained with blood and tears, “He killed Miss Vera!”

Boom!

Queen Isa’s last words were like a thunderbolt, leaving the high-ranking half-elves present dazed and confused.

Vera is dead?

Killed by Prince Topaz?

If it wasn’t Queen Isa, who was covered in blood, telling them this, they would probably think it was a joke.

But now, they couldn’t laugh.

Under the bright sunlight, they felt as if they were falling into an ice cellar.

It’s over.

The Miller family is done for.

The Modewen family is done for.

The Half-Elf Kingdom is likely done for too.

“Ah!!! I will curse you, you beast!”

Duke Miller roared, waving the sharp sword in his hand, aiming at Prince Topaz’s vitals without any reservation.

It seemed that only by doing so could he alleviate some of the fear in his heart.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Duke Lute held up a steel shield, like a strong rhinoceros, rushing towards Prince Topaz step by step.

Boom!

Prince Topaz spat out a mouthful of blood from the hit and was thrown backward. He crashed hard into the palace wall.

However, such a heavy blow still didn’t stop him.

He stood up again, issuing an inhuman roar from his mouth and, waving his longsword, charged at Queen Isa again.

Like he would not give up without reaching his goal.

“You are courting death!”

Duke Lute was thoroughly enraged.

Boom!

Prince Topaz was knocked off his feet again.

This time, Duke Lute didn’t let him go. He stepped on Prince Topaz’s chest.

Crunch.

Finally, Prince Topaz seemed to quiet down. A lot of blood kept seeping from his mouth.

Only then did everyone notice that Colin had appeared at the entrance of the palace at some point.

And in his arms, he was holding the blood-covered Vera..
