Captured by a troll?
Then escaped and returned?
Colin didn't believe a word of this narrative.
In his view, after Valra's father died in battle, he probably fled back home alone, bringing back the news of the Baron's death.
This sparked the greed of Count Uman, who wanted to plot Colin's death and usurp the barony of the Angler family.
Now, Penny suddenly sends Colin such a generous gift through the Tulip Chamber of Commerce, what could be the intention behind it?
Was it a deliberate provocation?
Or is it because Colin has successfully inherited the baronage and gained the attention of Duke St. Hilde, making it impossible for her to take action and thus she started trying to curry favor with him?
Does Count Uman know about this?
No.
Colin shook his head, believing that Count Uman probably didn't know his lover had sent Colin such a generous gift.
Because to Colin, such a move seemed incredibly unwise.
