Chapter 688 85. Colette's Wisdom
Annan remembered that he and Colette said "live for yourself"...
Maybe she fell in love with the marriage partner The object... The last carriage passed by, and the street in front became clear again. Annan took the reins and thought.
He couldn't sleep, and had no chance to dream that Valencia was pinching his neck and shouting to save his daughter. He could only tell his doubts to Itilia after going back: "I have a Friend, his daughter resisted the marriage..."
"Some changes must have happened that made her change her mind..." Itilia said softly in the wheelchair.
"Is it common?"
"It depends on what happened... After you disappeared, I was thinking about marrying other nobles to keep the Reeves family alive."
Annan He said guiltily: "This will never happen again."
After nearly three years of getting along, it no longer mattered whether Annan was Levi's or not.
"What do you suggest I do?" Annan asked.
"Then let's investigate the truth first."
"We still need to investigate..."
He just escaped from Earl Turner.
Fortunately, it’s not that troublesome this time. Annan is going to go directly to persuade Colette. If she had any regrets, she would find a way to stop the marriage. If not... she had already fulfilled her duties as a father.
When children grow up, they must have their own lives, whether they are sad or happy...
The sudden braking caused Annan to lean forward, and then there was the frightened scream of the driver outside.
"What's wrong?"
Annan poked his head out of the car window and saw the flame-like hair dancing in the sun.
"I'll go with you."
Annan said helplessly to the strong man holding the reins. Many passers-by were watching here. If the city guards knew about it, it would be another scene. Trouble...
He asked the frightened coachman to stay here and followed the Scarlet Witch and the others into the alley.
The Scarlet Witch pushed Annan from behind: "Where is your plan!"
"It's almost complete." Annan, who was pushed to a blind corner in the alley, turned around and said, seeing the Scarlet Witch Take out a piece of twine.
"What are you going to do? I am your accomplice...Why are you tying me up?"
The Scarlet Witch threw the hemp rope at Annan's feet: "You are an accomplice now, if you still If you can’t bring any news about the princess, you will be the big shot kidnapped!”
In any case, the thief will not go short.
"Come on, I think after the celebration is a good opportunity to take action, the city lord's palace is slack, I will trick the princess out..."
Annan, who was casually perfunctory, suddenly thought of something.
After the celebration, I created an opportunity for the Red Witch to kidnap the fake princess, and then rescued the fake princess and handed it over to the Crimson Princess. The Crimson Castle escaped smoothly, and the Scarlet Witch gained a reputation, and I would not be tainted by it... The perfect escape plan!
Annan suddenly became enthusiastic about the kidnapping plan, and discussed with the Scarlet Witch the details of the kidnapping, which way to escape, and how to hide himself——
Annan and the Scarlet Witch disagree on how to act. Annan thinks they must act quietly, while the Scarlet Witch wants to make a big fuss——
“Don’t even think about it, do you know how many big shots there are in Hua now? Even a legendary red dragon can’t do it. Get away intact!”
In the end, they made a compromise choice to act quietly, but they had to leave traces after catching the princess.
“Can you write?” asked the Scarlet Witch.
“What are you going to write?” This was Annan’s most confident moment.
"I haven't thought about it yet!"
......
Annan was temporarily released by his accomplices. But if he doesn't cooperate, he will turn from a kidnapper to a victim.
"Sir, should we tell the city guards..." The coachman breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Annan coming back.
He is from Liberty City, Annan is not worried about him leaking the secret: "It's okay, I just met some friends, don't tell the eldest sister and them."
"Okay, sir."
Go on, Annan Arrive at the Angelo family manor.
The marriage convoy stopped outside the manor. Annan pretended to be curious and asked the manor's housekeeper for details.
In fact, the Figueiredo family proposed a marriage earlier. Valencia’s younger brother and the current head of the Angelo family wanted Colette to marry. She had been refusing before, but in the past two days, something suddenly happened. He was relieved and agreed to the marriage.
The housekeeper invited Annan in as a guest, but Annan declined.
Why does he want to see Colette? And what did he say when he met her?
Annan returned to the carriage, hesitantly returned to the tavern, and used the mouse hole to run into Colette's room...
She sat on the bed, holding Valencia's portrait in her arms, lowering her head. She shook her head and sobbed softly, like an abandoned little girl...
She definitely didn't look like she did this voluntarily.
Annan could no longer sit idly by... It was as if Valencia's spirit was floating beside him, poking at him.
But he can't jump out and say: "I am opposed to this marriage!"
Even if he is the princess's knight.
Annan silently exited the observation state. At this moment, Colette on the bed raised her head, showing an indifferent face, and looked under the wardrobe...
Unknowingly, Annan ran to the city guard station to find the guard captain: "I It is suspected that the Figueiredo family has an affair with the person who framed the princess,”
"Uh...what did you say?"
"The Figueiredo family is the one who is planning to marry the Angelo family."
The second son of the Figueiredo family is the supplies officer.
"This is a good thing."
No noble's butt is clean, especially the position of material officer... He is not corrupt, just like a warlock saying "I am not interested in foreign races" .
Oh, what a damn stereotype.
As a knight of the queen and the person favored by Commander Moreno, Annan had unimpeded access to the city guard. The unlucky second son was soon found guilty of various crimes - although there was no bullying of men and women. crime, but corruption alone is enough to cost him this position.
This was not enough. After all, the younger brother in Valencia was the root of everything, so he also collected some evidence of the Angelo family...
Later that day, the two Unsigned letters were sent to the Figueiredo family and the Angelo family.
The letter recorded the crimes of both parties in detail, and the signature was: I will not allow my daughter to marry into this kind of family.
The next day, Annan received the news that the marriage between the Angelo family and the Figueiredo family was canceled due to some accidents.
The two families spent a day investigating who was investigating them, but found nothing. They thought it was really the ghost of Valencia who had returned, so they had to cancel the marriage.
After finishing the good deed, Annan thought to himself, this is the last time I will help you...
Not long after, Colette suddenly came to visit.
"I knew it was you." Colette looked at Annan.
"I don't know what you are talking about." Annan pretended to be confused.
"That letter...who are you?"
Annan could no longer maintain the lie and sighed helplessly: "Why are you so smart..."
Then A smile appeared in the pair of amber eyes: "Can you tell me the truth now?"
