Chapter 1779 - 495: The Colin Family Tree—Even Harder to Decipher Than the New Testament_4

Clearly, Prince Colin is truly a good person.

His kindness and compassion are not only extended to strangers from foreign lands, but he also manages his family relationships exceptionally well.

Entrusting his sister to such a person, he felt completely at ease.

Edward's gaze then shifted to another young man.

The young man had charming features, and his facial contours bore some resemblance to Colin's, especially those deep purple eyes.

The only difference was that the young man's eyes were filled with more trepidation and cowardice, much like a fawn wandering in a forest.

In contrast, Colin's pupils were deeper, like the leader of a herd of deer — gentle yet ambitious, sharing the same drive as himself.

Perhaps attending such a grand occasion for the first time, the young man appeared even more nervous than Vivian, with an unmistakable unease between his brows.

"…Who is this?" Edward asked in a gentle tone, trying not to pressure him too much.

Nanfu firmly remembered his elder brother's teachings.

Even before Luo Yan could introduce him, he blurted out the answer, using all his strength to shout out his new name.

"Gutaf Colin!"

"Gutaf..."

Edward chewed over the name, then realized something and a look of approval appeared on his face, "Is it the name of the Dragon God?"

"Indeed," Luo Yan nodded with a smile, "To commemorate the friendship between the Gutaf United Kingdom and the Colin Duchy, my father gave him this name."

"What a majestic and grand name!" Edward said with a smile, patting the young man on the shoulder, "May your future glory last like a giant dragon... I have high hopes for you, your future will surely not lose to your esteemed brother!"

Standing by the side, Vivian almost couldn't hold back her laughter, her shoulders shaking, and Roxey, with Purple Crystal Level strength, almost lost control of her.

Nanfu's face turned bright red with excitement, clenching his fists tightly.

This Duke has quite the eye!

Instantly recognizing his masculine spirit, leagues beyond Vivian, who only causes trouble and loves to pass the buck!

Though he's still nothing compared to his elder brother!

In Nanfu's heart, his brother is unparalleled. After all, Vivian's miserable state upon returning that day had truly shocked him.

"Congratulations, Your Highness, it seems the chaos in the duchy has been completely quelled." Luo Yan tactfully changed the topic.

Seeing Youyou laughing and rolling on the ground, he began to feel a bit pressured.

Witnessing Prince Colin return to the main topic, Edward restrained his playful expression, replacing it with respect.

He tightly clasped Colin's hand.

"Thanks to your help! Please allow me to express my gratitude once more, Prince Colin. Without your extended hand, we might have shed much unnecessary blood, and… this tragic calamity might have lasted much longer."

He genuinely believed this.

Whether it was the "Roxey 1053 Rifle," the overseas market supporting the economic reform in Thunder City, or the advice on family and politics, this prince from the Imperial realm provided him irreplaceable assistance both materially and spiritually.

Without Colin's support, he might still have achieved victory, but the result would have been a Pyrrhic victory, possibly affecting the duchy's layout in Twilight Province.

"I only did some insignificant things," Luo Yan humbly replied, "The Campbell people could achieve victory more because of their deep-rooted longing for change. I believe, without so many supporting you, no amount of aid would be effective."

At that point, Prince Colin changed the direction of his words, and a sharp glint gradually appeared in his once gentle eyes.

"Now, we can focus on dealing with the black hand behind this war."

Edward's smile remained, but his resolve matched his.

"Indeed."

He turned his gaze towards the North, the direction of the Ryan Kingdom.

The blood of the Campbell people would not be shed in vain, and the outcry on Thunder City's newspapers also echoed his inner fury.

He vowed to make the Devalu family pay the price.

No matter they have a Demigod—

Even if Saint Sis stood behind them, it couldn't save that trouble-stirring king!

Sensing Edward's determination, Luo Yan nodded.

As always, he would provide all necessary support.

In a friendly and enthusiastic atmosphere, the grand welcoming ceremony entered its closing stages.

Bathed in reverent gazes, the two walked through the castle gates side by side, with Vivian and Nanfu following close behind, also basking in the welcoming applause.

At this moment, Luo Yan's gaze finally fell on the top of Edward's head, voicing a question that had been lingering in his mind.

"By the way, Your Highness."

"What's the matter?"

"Your hair..."

Edward noticed Colin staring at the side of his forehead.

With an understanding smile, he raised a finger to play with his slightly curly silver-white short hair, speaking breezily.

"I thought carefully about the things you said before, and indeed, I handled some matters regarding Erin improperly. While past events can't be undone, I thought... if someone could share some of the different glances, it might alleviate the pain in Erin's heart. No matter what, I can't let my sister bear these alone."

A genuine surprise flashed in Luo Yan's eyes.

"So, you..."

Edward revealed an open smile.

"I dyed my hair silver. Oddly enough, I found this color suits me quite well, perhaps it's the 'holy intention' in the unseen."
