Despite Marquis Garcia's face maintaining its usual calmness, Colin, who was standing next to him, could see from the tightly clenched fists that Garcia was far from composed.
To alleviate the awkward tension, Colin proceeded to narrate the changes North Territory had faced in the past few months.
Marquis Garcia listened in silence, showing no reaction.
Only when Colin finished his recount, Garcia simply complimented,
"You did very well!"
On hearing this, Colin involuntarily puffed his chest out like a student who had just been praised by his teacher, his heart filled with happiness.
However, his joy was short-lived. Marquis Garcia's next remark made him feel as if he had just been thrown from the clouds to the ground,
"The child that Her Majesty the Queen carries is yours, isn't it?"
