The Original Vampire

the next day.

The bleak autumn wind swept up the dust in the sky, covering the entire Silver Moon City, making it look even more gloomy.

This garden city, which was immersed in a festive atmosphere, became gloomy and gloomy after just one day.

Although the tragedy that happened in Queen Elsa's palace was only spread among the half-elf nobles, the commoners in the city also felt the tense and oppressive situation.

After all, the closed city gate, the order prohibiting entry and exit, and the patrolling soldiers everywhere on the streets are all showing that something big has happened in Silvermoon City!

At eight in the morning, Duke Miller, who had not slept all night, followed Prince William to the main hall of the palace.

To be honest, Duke Miller was greatly relieved after learning that the king had summoned him.

In his opinion, as long as the king is still willing to see himself, it means that the Miller family has not been completely abandoned, and there is still a glimmer of hope.

The Miller family, who had just suffered an unprecedented crisis, could not wait to grab any life-saving straw at this time.

"Good morning, Your Majesty!" Duke Miller saluted his chest, trying to be as natural as usual.

However, the dark circles under his eyes and the messy hair have already revealed the fear and weakness in his heart.

"Good morning, Duke Miller." The old king leaned on a scepter and stood on the high platform of the main hall, looking at his old minister from a distance.

For Duke Miller, the old king is actually very important.

Otherwise, he would not have given him the position of Prime Minister of the Half-Elves Kingdom.

And Duke Miller did not disappoint the old king. He has been the prime minister for more than ten years, and he has done a good job in managing the half-elf kingdom in an orderly manner.

When the king married Aisha Miller as queen, it was actually to win over this capable prime minister and make plans for his next generation.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have to marry Elsa at all.

Aisha is of course beautiful, but he is in his seventies. No matter how beautiful she is, he can only pass the eye addiction, so what's the point.

What's more, from the first day Elsa entered the palace, the old king saw that she hated him.

No matter how much she disguised, how could she escape the vicious eyes of the old king.

In this regard, the old king did not care too much. In his opinion, how could such a young girl like a flower like jade be forced by her father to marry a dying old guy.

But he never thought that this resentment would bring such a catastrophe to himself and the Modiwen family!

Yes, although there was nothing to get out of Queen Elsa last night, the old king still firmly believed that this woman lied!

What happened in the Queen's bedroom at that time was certainly not that simple.

This is the intuition of an old politician who has been in the turbulent political arena all his life!

He has no evidence, but he also does not speak of evidence.

"Did you sleep well last night?"

"good……"

"When people are old and have experienced a lot of things, it is easy to fall asleep."

The unhurried attitude of the old king made Duke Miller a little puzzled. Now, in this situation, how can he still chat about family affairs?

However, the old king seems to have come to chat with Duke Miller: "I remember you told me that you have two sons, right?"

"Yes."

"Where's the grandson?"

"There is one."

"how old are you?"

"It's just full moon."

"It's just a full moon." The old king slowly walked down the high platform, came to Duke Miller, and said pointedly, "Such a small child, few people know him, right?"

Duke Miller suddenly raised his head and seemed to understand what the old king meant.

His lips trembled slightly, and an extremely complicated look flashed in his eyes, like pain, resentment, but also gratitude...

After half an hour,

Duke Miller replied: "When... Of course, after all, it's a child, and I haven't seen a few people yet."

The old king nodded and sighed: "Yes! And children grow up fast, and they look the same every day. Even if someone saw them when they were young, they would not recognize them at all after a year or two."

Having said that, Duke Miller has naturally fully understood the meaning of the old king.

Obviously, the old king is telling him that the Miller family can no longer keep it, but he can help him keep a bloodline - that is Duke Miller's little grandson who just turned a month!

Duke Miller burst into tears, and his whole body began to tremble.

I don't know if it's because of fear or because of gratitude.

"Your Majesty...Thank you...for everything you have done to the Miller family!"

The old king stretched out his hand, patted Duke Miller twice on the shoulder, and said softly, "I hope you don't resent me."

"I won't resent you." Duke Miller smiled sadly. "This is the fate of our half-elves. Being caught between giants, it is inevitable that we will be crushed to pieces."

The old king sighed and seemed to agree with Duke Miller's words.

He approached Duke Miller's ear and whispered, "Go in peace, your grandson, I will send someone to replace it."

Duke Miller nodded and glanced at the old king one last time.

Then, without hesitation, he drew his saber.

But at this moment, the old king raised his hand to stop Duke Miller.

"Your Majesty, what other orders do you have?"

The old king stretched out his right hand and said coldly, "You are my knight. If you want to die, you should die in my hands."

Duke Miller was stunned, but still handed the sword to the old king.

Then, closed his eyes.

Chi!

The long sword passed through the chest.

...

Outside the hall, Prince William is accompanying the St. Pros brothers and sisters.

"His Royal Highness, when will Your Majesty see us? We've been waiting for so long." Anna asked impatiently, holding up the pebble on the ground.

"It should be soon!" Prince William quickly explained with a smile, "Father is meeting Duke Miller, and it will be your turn next."

Earl Evan was still drinking to himself, when he heard this, he suddenly said, "Your Highness, what happened yesterday, are you still unwilling to tell us?"

Prince William waved his hand with a smile and said, "This... When you meet His Majesty, you will naturally know."

"Okay." Earl Evan didn't care, he picked up the wine bag and poured it into his mouth.

After a long time, a guard hurried to Prince William's ear and whispered a few words.

Then, Prince William invited the St. Pros brothers and sisters: "You two, Your Majesty can see you now, please!"

Earl Evan and Anna immediately strode forward and walked towards the hall.

"Prince William, won't you go in together?" Earl Evan suddenly turned around.

"I won't go, Your Majesty just said I want to see you."

"it is good."

The two brothers and sisters walked into the hall without suspecting him.

However, the hall was empty, and there was not a single person.

"Your Majesty?" Earl Evan called out tentatively, but only heard his own echo.

Anna wrinkled her nose and asked in surprise, "Why does it smell bloody?"

"Blood smell?" Earl Evan suddenly froze, realizing that it was not good.

"In that direction." Anna walked deeper into the hall.

But after they took a few steps forward, they were shocked to find that a bloody corpse was lying on the ground on its back, with a long sword stuck in its chest.

Just now, because the line of sight was blocked by the beams and pillars in the hall, the brothers and sisters were not immediately discovered.

"No! Let's go!" Earl Evan quickly took his sister's arm and ran outside the hall.

"What's wrong, brother?" Anna was still stunned.

"It's a trap!"
