Chapter 716 God Will Not Allow Me to Cause Miss to Lose Her Honor 9
Song Jinhuan frowned, disagreeing, "The manor is 2 leagues away from the castle. Are you sure you want to walk there?" (1 league = 5572.7 meters)
She paused, then pointed to the clock on the wall and reminded him, "It's exactly twelve o'clock now. If we walk, we probably won't be able to get there before one o'clock."
The girl was half a head taller than him.
For the first time, Colin was so eager to grow taller.
He lowered his eyelids to accept the other person's kindness: "Thank you, Miss Agatha."
Song Jinhuan instructed the coachman to bring out the carriage, and before the boy got in, she adjusted his asymmetrical collar.
Colin has never been comfortable with people getting too close, so he could only stand frozen in place.
After the girl finished tidying up, she took a step back, gesturing for him to get in the car.
A strange sense of loss washed over Colin. He took two steps forward, then suddenly turned back and said, "Miss Agatha, I will be leaving at eleven o'clock tomorrow."
Before Song Jinhuan could respond, he hurriedly climbed onto the carriage.
Song Jinhuan watched the carriage leave until it completely disappeared from sight before turning back into the house.
The Marquise's disappearance was too sudden, and there is very little information about her in the original text.
All I know is that she is the daughter of a farmer and a law-abiding citizen.
She never married the Marquis John, and refused to attend some important banquets.
The Marquis John and his wife also seemed to have a bad relationship; no one had ever seen them appear in public together.
But some noblewomen who had met the Marchioness said that the Marquis John valued her highly.
Song Jinhuan couldn't help but suspect that something had happened to the Marquis's wife.
"Sanjin, is the Marquis's wife still alive?"
Sanjin: "Living."
Song Jinhuan frowned: "The castle cannot be entered at will. Where should I begin my investigation?"
Sanjin: "I'll send you Marquis John's past experiences. I believe you can discover something from them."
Song Jinhuan's brow relaxed. "Excellent."
Three pounds moved incredibly fast; in less than a minute, the Marquis of John's past was all sorted out.
Jonathan John Antonia was the only child in the Antonia family. His father died when he was thirteen, while he was suppressing a pagan uprising. In the same year, he inherited the title of Marquis.
At the age of seventeen, he went hunting with his friends and got lost in the Pal Forest. Two years later, he returned from the easternmost part of the Nabesgen continent, bringing back a commoner's daughter.
Every year thereafter, news about the Marquise giving birth would be received from outside sources.
Because the birth of a nobleman's child required reporting to the royal family before the royal family would register the child.
As for why Song Jinhuan was assumed to be ineligible for inheritance, it was because the Marquis John did not report her birth to the royal family.
For this reason, those who know of her existence have been discussing her origins extensively.
Song Jinhuan: "After Sunday, I plan to go to Pal Forest."
Sanjin: "What about Colin?"
Song Jinhuan thought for a moment and said, "I will give him some pocket money, and then I will have Susan and Sylvia take good care of him."
Sanjin disagreed, "Colin is new here, which is a good time to build a relationship with you. He is sensitive, and if the host goes on a long trip now, it will be hard for him not to overthink things."
“Once he starts overthinking things, he is very likely to lose his trust completely.”
Song Jinhuan sighed, "Alright, I'll set off again in six months."
On the other side, the carriage stopped at the castle gate, and Colin got off.
He showed his token to the guards at the gate, and as soon as he stepped into the castle, he saw two tall figures not far away.
