章 57: 057 Entering City_1

"Boom..."

A rumble of thunder echoed in the sky, startling Colin.

Of course, the timing of the thunder was too coincidental, making it hard to say whether Colin was frightened by the thunder or by the words of Marquis Garcia.

He suddenly hesitated, wondering if he should explain the real origin of the earring to Vera's biological father.

Originally, Colin thought that letting Marquis Garcia misunderstand his relationship with Vera might not be such a bad thing.

After all, they were just an uncle-niece relationship.

But now...

He started to panic slightly.

It felt as if he had just flirted with a young girl, only to have her father confront him at the door.

However, he finally realized why Marquis Garcia was treating him differently.

It was not because of his military talent, nor because he was the marquis' secret illegitimate son, but because of Vera!
