Chapter 120: 120 Prologue_l



Kathy, dressed in a black maid’s uniform, entered the room and placed lunch in front of Colin.

Of course, Deer Blood Wine was a must with every meal.

After setting up the food, Kathy did not leave as usual, but stood by the round table with her hands folded.

Colin picked up the Deer Blood Wine, poured himself a glass, took a sip, then asked Kathy:

“How is it? Any news?”

Kathy nodded, “Yes, Viscount, your family’s army is currently outside the South Gate of Silver Moon City.”

“Good, I know.” Colin nodded and continued drinking.

Yet, Kathy did not leave, hesitated for a moment, then said, “Lord, the Half-Elf Palace will be… somewhat dangerous tomorrow night. At that time, you could take Miss Vera’s remains and leave this place temporarily..”

Colin looked up at the little maid and smiled, “I didn’t expect you to care so much about my safety.”

“It’s my duty.”

“Really?” Colin put down his wine cup, grabbed the little maid’s collar, and pulled her towards him.

Kathy shrieked, but quickly stopped.

Colin laughed coldly, “Do I look like an idiot to you?”

Kathy quickly shook her head.

“Then how dare you manipulate me like this?” Colin’s icy tone made the little maid shiver.

“1…1 didn’t…

“Didn’t you?” Colin sneered, “Under the guise of considering my safety, you are asking me to take Vera’s remains and leave the palace. You want to use me as a bait to divert the Silver Moon Guards’ attention, don’t you?

You dare play such tricks in front of me?

Kathy Savoy, listen to me.

Either tell me your entire plan, and I might consider cooperating with you.

Or, we part our ways. I can go to the old king right now. I wager he would be delighted to deploy a strong military presence within the palace, just waiting for you to walk right into the trap.”

“1…1’11 tell…l’ll tell!” Kathy was hardly a match for Colin, she was almost in tears from fright.

Only then did Colin let go of Kathy’s collar, picked up his wine cup again, and listened while he drank.

“My Lord, our Savoy family has already turned against Duke Lute.

However, although the Duke appears as the commander of the Silver Moon Guards, in reality, he only has absolute control over two of their units, totaling twelve thousand men.

The other three units of the Silver Moon Guards, totaling over eighteen thousand men, are firmly in the hands of the Modewen family.

Although we are outnumbered, we have the advantage of surprise, as we lay hidden while the enemy is in the open.

If we can successfully invade and take over the royal palace, and control the old king and Prince William before the enemy’s majority forces have a chance to react, then the Modewen family will be powerless.

So, to ensure this plan runs smoother, we hope that you will cooperate.. ‘

Colin stroked his chin and silently weighed the feasibility of Savoy family’s plan.

“So you want me to leave the palace with Vera’s remains to help you mitigate part of the Modewen family’s onslaught?”

Kathy watched Colin carefully and said, “Yes. And once you leave the palace, head south. Surely, your family’s army outside the South City Gate will respond to your signal.”

Colin gave a noncommittal smile, “Tell me about your military deployment and route to attack the palace.”

Kathy appeared troubled, “I… I don’t know about that…”

Colin rolled his eyes, “Ask Cis then. Without this information, don’t expect me to cooperate with you.”

Kathy gritted her teeth and nodded, “Alright, I will ask for you right now!”

With that, she left in a hurry.

“Click.”

The coffin lid opened, and Vera poked her head out, “Colin, are we really leaving the palace tomorrow night?”

“What, you don’t want to go?”

Vera quickly nodded, “Yes! I can’t even change my clothes here, it’s so annoying.”

“That’s good then. Don’t worry, I’ll arrange everything.”

“Hmm, I trust you.”

Perhaps there is nothing more capable of arousing a man’s protective instincts than unconditional trust from a young girl.

A warm smile appeared on Colin’s face as he gestured to Vera:

“Come on, it’s time to eat.”

The sun set in the west and rose in the east, heralding a new day.

According to the original plan, this day was supposed to be a joyful one—the wedding of Prince Topaz and Miss Vera was scheduled for today.

But now, the entire Silver Moon City is shrouded in an extremely oppressive atmosphere.

Some people quietly awaited the judgment of fate, others feverishly planned to make a desperate effort, yet some remained oblivious, believing it to be just another ordinary day… “Knock, knock, knock.”

“Come in.”

Knight Teld entered, first saluting the coffin placed in the center of the room, then turning to Colin with a bow, “Viscount, you wanted to see me?”

Colin gestured for the Knight to approach, then handed him a scroll of parchment.

“What is this?” Teld looked at the Royal Palace map, depicting troop deployments and attack routes, and he became slightly confused.

“Do you know the Savoy family?”

“Yes. They were the royal family of the Half-Elf Kingdom.”

“Yes, this family is planning a coup tonight, what you hold in your hands is their precise arrangement for attacking the palace.”

Chills ran down Teld’s spine. He didn’t question how Colin acquired such classified intel, but instead growled with fiery eyes, “Sir, will we use this opportunity to avenge Miss Vera?”

Colin frowned and retorted, “Knight Teld, have you forgotten your primary duty?”

Teld calmed down and lowered his head, “Apologies, Viscount, I was impulsive. My first priority should be to protect Miss Vera’s remains.”

Colin nodded slightly in approval, “Good, I’m glad you understand. The palace will not be safe tonight. We cannot stay here. Thus, once the Savoy family initiates their coup, we must escape from the Palace.”

“What is the plan after we escape the palace? Which direction should we flee the city?”

“My family army is just outside the South Gate.” “Okay, I understand.”

Colin slowly shook his head, “No, you don’t.”

Teld was suddenly taken aback, looking at Colin in confusion.

“My family army is outside the South Gate, so naturally, both the Modewen and

Savoy families will assume we’ll run towards the South Gate,”

“Therefore, we must not head to the South Gate! ”

Teld finally understood, “Then where shall we go?”

Colin pointed aggressively at the map, “We head to the North Gate!” “Alright! I’ll prepare the troops for tonight’s mission immediately!” “Be careful not to draw attention from the Silver Moon Guards.”

“Yes!”

Watching Knight Teld disappear behind the door, Colin, stroking his chin, fell into deep thought.

However, he was not concerned about tonight’s mission, but about something else.

During their last encounter in the Queen’s bedchamber, while Teld was unconscious from the poison, Colin managed to steal some blood from him.

But strangely, this fresh blood didn’t help him advance to level four. However, he certainly experienced hot flashes, so it was not that Teld’s blood had no effect.

It must be that the dose was insufficient.

Indeed, this was one of the reasons why Colin instigated this coup.

Apart from creating chaos and seizing control of the Half-Elf Kingdom under the disguise, he also hoped to find more high-level knights’ blood during the coup.

This should not be a difficult task.

After all, it was certain that tonight would be a night of bloodshed..
