Chapter 180 Dinner (Part 1)

When Colin brought his sister and brother-in-law to the restaurant, a turkey meal had been prepared.

On the narrow oak table is a huge turkey with grilled aroma, and of course there are various meals around, including roasted bacon, mashed potatoes, vegetable soup, fruit salad, and a white wine produced from Winster Manor.

Of course, Colin's exclusive deer blood wine is bound to be included.

Colin tied his napkin and said to the butler Emon who was pouring wine for the three of them: "Emon, sit down and eat together."

Imon said: "Master, this is not in accordance with the rules..."

Colin waved his hand domineeringly: "In this castle, I am the rule! Let's sit!"

Emon was still hesitant, so he heard Caitlin advise: "Emon, sit down quickly. You have served the Angeles family for more than 40 years and have been a family!"

Then Yimon thanked him for taking his seat.

Colin looked at Cathy standing beside him again and smiled, "Cathy, you can join us together."

A look of joy suddenly appeared on Cathy's little face, and he hurriedly thanked and took his seat.

Caitlin looked at the pretty half-elf maid, but frowned slightly.

She obviously misunderstood the relationship between Colin and Cathy and was planning to remind her brother in private.

A half-elves can only be regarded as lovers, but they cannot really marry them home.

Even if this person is said to be a former descendant of the half-elves royal family, it is not good.

This is also considered a kind of racial discrimination.

But the nobles of the Glorious Empire had already taken it for granted, which was also the arrogance brought about by the empire's strong position of dominating the center of the continent and overwhelming the major alien races.

When the nobles of the Glorious Empire enjoyed a regular meal, they also had the tradition of "don't eat" to eat.

The dessert time after the main meal is specially prepared for chatting.

Tonight's dessert is Fresh Fruit Sabahon, a delicacy that combines egg liquid with butter and champagne poured on various fruits. After simple baking, the rich burnt aroma instantly spread throughout the restaurant.

After preparing the dessert, Emon and Cathy gave up in time and handed over the next reminiscence to Colin and Valla.

Sister Caitlin was very excited and chattered about the old news and interesting stories of the three of them in Gray Castle back then. Valla and Colin added a few words from time to time, and the whole restaurant was filled with a pleasant atmosphere.

But as time went on, Caitlin, who had just gone through a long journey, became obviously a little energy-deficient and became yawning.

Seeing this, Knight Valla said considerately: "Katelyn, why don't you go back and rest first, I'll talk to Colin for a while."

"Okay, I'm too tired today, so I'll go back to bed first, and you guys will chat slowly."

Colin also smiled and nodded: "Okay, sister, the maid outside the hall will take you back to the room."

When the hall door opened and closed again, the dining room suddenly became quiet.

A faint embarrassment began to flow in the air.

The two men picked up the wine glasses in front of them almost at the same time and brought them to their mouths.

Colin drank the glass of deer blood wine, and then looked at Valla like this, as if waiting for the other party to speak first.

In Collin's view, Valla should have received instructions from Count Uman to win over the Angrey family this time.

Caitlin had helped lay the foundation for the atmosphere before, and next, it should be Valla's performance time.

"Colin." Valla said indeed, "Actually... I have been shameless to see you since I followed the Baron to fight last time."

"Why?"

"Because I did not fulfill my duties well, causing the Baron to unfortunately die on the front line..." The sadness and self-blame revealed in the eyes of the Knight Valla had no flaws at all.

At least Colin couldn't find any flaws.

"What was the situation at the beginning?"

"At that time, the Baron led the family army to carry out a rescue mission, but was surrounded by a large army of trolls several times ours.

The battle was extremely fierce, and the soldiers around me fell one by one, and screams were everywhere in my ears...

Then, I saw with my own eyes that the Baron was cut off by a troll warrior…”

Valla took a deep breath, as if she was calming her excitement, and then continued to narrate after a while:

"Later, I was stabbed into my lower abdomen by a sword. Before I lost consciousness, I only remember the troll warrior who defeated me, the crazy smiling face..."

After listening to Valla's story, Colin nodded expressionlessly, with no joy or anger in his eyes, and just asked lightly: "So you were captured like this?"

Valla hesitated for a moment, then said in an uncertain tone: "It should be."

"should?"

"Well, actually, I can't remember what happened after the injury. I only know that when I woke up again, I was already in the Eagle City."

Colin finally sat up straight.

Because he found something was wrong!

That's not what Manager Oliver of the Tulip Chamber of Commerce said.

When the fat man gave Colin an expensive enchanted armor as a plea, he clearly said-

After the defeat of the Warra Knights, they became prisoners and were carried by the troll army to prepare to take them back to the troll empire. However, when they were surrounded and intercepted by the Black Cavalry, they were abandoned by the trolls on the ice field by the trolls and finally went through a lot of hardships before returning to the northern border.

This set of rhetoric is completely incompatible with Valla's current words!

What's going on?

There is no good confession between the two sides?

You won't make such a low-level mistake...

So, Colin decided to test it again: "Valla, this is not what Manager Oliver of the Tulip Chamber of Commerce told me."

"Oliver?" Valla frowned, "He probably got his mother's instructions and made up something for me in front of you."

Colin blinked, obviously not adapting to Valla's candor.

"Your mother? Ms. Penny? Why did she make up a story for you?"

"Mother, she..." A trace of entanglement and pain flashed across Valla's face, but she still whispered, "She might want to hide something..."

"What are you hiding?" Colin continued to ask.

Valla looked up and looked at Colin seriously, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes.

After a long time, he spoke again: "I suspect that my mother may have a secret connection with the troll."

"What?" Colin was shocked.

This surprise is really not a pretentious one.

Of course Colin knew that Valla's mother, Penny, had a secret connection with the troll, not only her, but also Earl Uman.

But to his surprise, Valla actually admitted this matter in person!

However, next, Valla said something even more surprised by Colin: "Colin, I heard that you had been assassinated in Grayburg before?"

"Yes, Knight Carter did it."

"Do you know who was instructed by the Knight Carter?"

"who?"

"my mother."

Colin stared at the Knight Valla blankly, and he was completely stunned.

At this moment, his heart was chaotic—

Brother, have you got the wrong script?
