"When did this happen?"
"About four months ago."
Marquis Garcia was taken aback and then glared at Colin.
Apparently, Marquis Garcia had calculated that the time Vera conceived was when he decided to force the Pope to abdicate with troops.
Back then, he was immersed in the grief of losing his daughter, while Colin, knowing perfectly well that Vera had awakened, kept him in the dark, and even found the time to procreate...
Colin avoided Marquis Garcia's gaze somewhat awkwardly and persuaded:
"So, sir Marquis, if you want to see this child with your own eyes, please do not act recklessly."
The joy on Marquis Garcia's face only lasted for a moment, and quickly faded.
He lowered his head in silence for a bit before he spoke again:
"Colin, I entrust you with the protection of Vera and her unborn child…"
Seeing that Marquis Garcia still did not change his mind, Colin cried out urgently: "Sir Marquis, why are you doing this?"
"I am too tired…"
"Huh?" Colin was taken aback.
