"Why?"
Colin asked immediately.
At the same time, he glanced at Marquis Garcia, thinking this was an old grudge between the St. Hilde family and Mensai.
If so, it would explain why Marquis Garcia was silent when Mensai came to negotiate that day.
"Do you know who is Mensai's niece?" To his surprise, Queen Midela asked a seemingly unrelated question.
Colin, lacking knowledge about the Church's high-ranking officials, could only shake his head.
"It's Kate."
"Kate?" Colin was puzzled because this was a common name.
Queen Midela explained with a smile, "Yes, Mrs. Kate, formerly the Archbishop of Eastland, the wife of Duke St. Prowse."
Colin suddenly understood.
So that was the reason.
No wonder Mensai was so inhospitable on sight, not appearing interested in negotiation but rather inciting a quarrel.
It seemed that foes met with particularly keen animosity.
