Chapter 58: elder sister
Colin hugged the soft and fragrant body, but he did not have any romantic thoughts.
This was because the two gazes that seemed to have materialized caused him to feel as if there was a blade at his back.
One came from Vera, and the other came from Marquis García.
Especially the latter, Colin could almost feel the murderous intent hidden in the other party.
"Brother, I am so happy to see that you are fine!"
Fortunately, the woman in his arms shouted and saved Colin's life.
That's right, the woman who threw herself at him was Colin's sister — — Caitlin Angele.
The two sharp gazes immediately moved away from Colin, but he did not feel relaxed at all.
The excessive enthusiasm of the woman in his arms made Colin very uncomfortable.
On one hand, it was because he was not the real Colin, but a transmigrator who lived in this body. On the other hand, Colin always suspected that his sister Caitlin was the murderer who participated in his murder!
Patting his sister's back lightly, Colin comforted her, "Sister, I am fine. The rain is so heavy, let's go into the city first! "
"Okay."
Caitlin raised her head from Colin's arms. Her tear-stained face made Colin wonder if she was also an award-winning actor.
This small interlude did not make the welcoming party stay for long, and they quickly entered the city.
Because the Su Duo Family's castle had a limited capacity, and there were too many nobles gathered in Icestone City, it was naturally impossible to let everyone stay in the castle.
Therefore, Colin found the hotel he stayed in the last time he was here.
As soon as he entered the room, a blue figure jumped out from the corner and threw itself into Colin's arms.
This time, it was not a person, but a cat.
"Hehe, I didn't think you would still be here!" Colin patted Little White's head, a little surprised.
"Meow ~ ~" Little White whimpered a few times, as if complaining that its owner wanted to abandon it.
"When did you raise a cat?" Caitlin looked at her brother with a smile and poured two glasses of water.
"I picked it up from the roadside not long ago. I'm just taking care of it." Colin sat down at the table but did not touch the glass of water.
Little White seemed to be thirsty. It went to Colin's cup and licked it.
Caitlin frowned and wanted to chase Whitey away, but Colin stopped her. "It's okay. Let it drink."
"You spoil it too much." Caitlin shook her head helplessly.
Colin didn't mind. Instead, he stared at Little White, who had finished drinking the water, and carefully observed its reaction.
"I heard from Steward Eamon that you were assassinated in Graycastle?"
"Yes, it was Knight Carter who did it. I've already killed him."
"That treacherous bastard! Father used to think so highly of him. "Caitlin's anger did not seem to be fake.
"What happened after that? Why did you suddenly leave without saying goodbye? Why did you follow the Black Cavalry to the Icefield? "
Colin looked at the normal Little White and wondered if he was being too sensitive.
Now that he heard his sister's question, he briefly recounted what happened after that.
As Colin narrated, Caitlin was sometimes worried and sometimes amazed. She was completely like a sister who was concerned about her brother's safety.
After Colin finished, Caitlin said in a lecturing tone.
"You were too risky when you left Graycastle alone. Although you said it was to lure out the assassin hiding in the dark, it was still not appropriate. You should have contacted me immediately! "
"Yes, yes! I didn't think it through. "Colin immediately pretended to be an obedient child.
Seeing how obedient Colin was, Caitlin let him off the hook and asked, "Do you have any leads on the mastermind behind your assassination attempt?"
Colin shook his head and then observed his sister's every subtle expression.
Caitlin frowned, as if she was thinking about who could be behind the assassination of her brother. But after thinking for a long time, she still had no clue. She could only say seriously.
"Although I don't have any clues for now, your guards must be strengthened. I'll contact Knight Raymond and ask him to bring more people to the hotel."
"Knight Raymond is here as well? Where is he now? "
"The private armies of the various lords are all gathered in the barracks in the west of the city. Raymond brought more than five hundred people this time, all of them are Angele family's private army."
Hearing this, Colin immediately frowned.
Caitlin clearly misunderstood Colin's meaning and explained, "Don't worry, although there aren't many soldiers left in Graycastle, with the Knight of Rego, there shouldn't be a big problem."
Most of the Angele family's army was brought to the battlefield by Colin's father, and naturally, they were all wiped out.
This time, Raymond brought another five hundred people. According to the memories of Colin's predecessor, there were probably less than a hundred soldiers left in Graycastle.
But in reality, what Colin was worried about wasn't Graycastle's safety.
"Who told Raymond to bring people to Icestone City?"
"It was the son of Su Duo's Viscounts, the Knight Of Kahn."
"There's no way he could order Raymond around!"
"At that time, I had already returned to Graycastle. After I received the letter from the Knight Of Kahn, I ordered Knight Raymond to bring people to Icestone City. I'm very worried about your safety. "
Colin really wanted to say that she didn't have the right to order Knight Raymond around, but when the words reached his mouth, he swallowed them back down.
Caitlin's expression was too natural. He couldn't tell at all whether she was truly worried about his safety or was using this as a pretext to drag the Angele family down with her.
Right now, Icestone City was an extremely dangerous political whirlpool. Although all the lords of the Northern Frontier had brought their troops here, Colin really didn't want the Angele family to get involved.
"Alright. I'll go find Raymond myself. You don't need to worry. "
Of course, Colin wasn't going to find Raymond himself for his own bodyguard.
In reality, he couldn't wait for someone to assassinate him.
This time, he had to leave someone alive so that he could interrogate the mastermind behind the scenes.
The reason he was going to find Raymond himself was to warn him that no matter what happened in Icestone City in the future, the Angele family's army could only listen to his orders.
No one else, including Caitlin, had the right to mobilize this army.
He had a feeling that these lords of the Northern Frontier had gathered their troops in Icestone City because they were preparing to cause trouble.
And the mastermind behind the scenes was obviously not that coward Knight Of Kahn who didn't even dare to step onto the battlefield.
He was nothing more than a puppet pushed to the front of the stage.
Just like at the banquet where he forced Marquis Charles to give up his title, the Knight Of Kahn who stood out was nothing more than a hothead who didn't know the gravity of the situation.
And standing behind him was …
Colin thought of one of the suspects who had plotted against him — Count Oman.
"Oh right, is there any news on my brother-in-law's whereabouts?" Colin suddenly asked.
When they met at the Mirror Lake Camp, Knight Raymond had told Colin that his sister's husband, Knight Valla, who was Count Oman's illegitimate son, had followed Baron Angele to battle, but had been separated after the defeat.
Caitlin's eyes instantly reddened, and she choked out, "Not yet."
"Don't worry, brother-in-law will be fine. We will find him."
Colin was confused. What was going on?
From what he could see, Count Oman's motive for assassinating him was to give this illegitimate son of his who didn't have the right to inherit the family business.
But he didn't expect …
Was Knight Valla really unlucky, or was he also acting?
