A strange world

Chapter 688 Chapter 85. Colette’s Wisdom

Annan remembers what he and Colette said was "live for yourself"...

Maybe she fell in love with the marriage partner... 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 of Valencia pinching his neck and shouting for help for his daughter. He could only tell his doubts to Itilia after going back: "I have a friend whose daughter resisted Marriage..."

"It must have happened that something 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 with other nobles to keep the fire of the Reeves family alive."

Annan said guiltily: "This will never happen again."

After nearly three years of getting along, it no longer matters whether Annan is 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 had just escaped from Count Turner.

Fortunately, it wasn't that troublesome this time. Annan was 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 his long, flame-like hair dancing in the sun.

"I'll go with you."

Annan helplessly told the strong man holding the reins that many passers-by were watching here. If the city guards knew about it, it would be another 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's your plan!"

"It's almost perfect." Annan, who was pushed into a blind corner in the alley, turned around and said, seeing the Scarlet Witch taking out a hemp rope.

"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 now an accomplice. If you still can't bring news about the princess, you will be the big shot who was kidnapped!"

In any case, the thief will not go short.

"It's almost time. I think after the celebration it's a good opportunity to take action. The city lord's palace is lax, so I'll trick the princess out..."

Annan, who was casually speaking, suddenly thought of something.

After the celebration, he created an opportunity for the Scarlet Witch to abduct the fake princess, and then rescued the fake princess and handed it over to the Crimson Princess. The Crimson Castle escaped smoothly, the Scarlet Witch gained a reputation, and he would not be tainted by it... A 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 Huadu now? Even if a legendary red dragon comes, you won't be able to escape!"

In the end, they made a compromise and chose to act quietly, but they had to leave traces after catching the princess.

"Can you write?" Scarlet Witch asked.

"What do you want to write?" This was Annan's most confident moment.

"I have not decided yet!"

…

Annan was provisionally released by his associates. 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, and Annan is not worried about him leaking the secret: "It's okay, I just met some friends, don't tell eldest sister and them."

"Okay sir."

Continuing to set off, Annan came to 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 patriarch of the Angelo family wanted Colette to marry. She had been refusing before, but in the past two days she suddenly relented and agreed to the marriage. .

The housekeeper invited Annan in as a guest, but Annan declined.

For what reason 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 sneak into Colette's room...

She sat on the bed, holding Valencia's portrait in her arms, lowering her head and sobbing softly, like an abandoned little girl...

She never looked like she was doing it of her own free will.

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 just jump out and say: "I am against this marriage!"

Not 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...

Annan, who didn't know anything about it, ran to the city guard station to find the captain of the guard: "I suspect that the Figueiredo family has something to do with the person who framed the princess."

"Uh...what did you say?"

"The Figueiredo family is the one planning to marry the Angelo family."

The second son of the Figueiredo family is the supplies officer.

"That's a good thing."

No noble's ass 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 the queen's knight 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 crime of bullying men and women, but just Corruption is enough to cost him this position.

This was not enough. After all, Valencia's younger brother was the root of everything, so he also collected some evidence of the Angelo family...

Later that day, 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..."

A smile appeared in those amber eyes: "Can you tell me the truth now?"
