The Original Vampire

When Colin brought his sister-in-law to the restaurant, a turkey dinner was already prepared here.

On the long and narrow oak table, there is a huge roasted turkey, and of course there are all kinds of accompaniments around it, roasted bacon, mashed potatoes, vegetable soup, fruit salad, and one from Winster Manor. of white wine.

Of course, there must be Colin's exclusive deer blood wine.

Colin fastened the napkin and said to Aemon, the housekeeper who was pouring wine for the three of them, "Aemon, sit down and eat together."

Yimon wondered: "Master, this is not in line with the rules..."

Colin waved his hand domineeringly: "In this castle, I am the rule! Sit down!"

Aemon was still a little hesitant, and heard Catelyn also persuade: "Aemon, sit down, you have served the Angele family for more than 40 years, and you are already a family!"

Aemon then thanked him for taking his seat.

Colin looked at Cathy who was standing beside him again, and said with a smile, "Cathy, join us too."

Cathy's little face suddenly showed joy, she quickly thanked and took her seat.

Catelyn frowned slightly as she looked at the pretty half-elf maid.

She obviously misunderstood the relationship between Colin and Cathy, and was planning to remind her brother in private.

Half-elves can only be lovers, not really married.

Not even this one who is said to be a descendant of the half-elf royal family.

It's also a form of racism.

But the nobles of the glorious empire have long taken it for granted. This is also the arrogance brought about by the empire's strong position in the center of the continent and coercion of major foreign races.

The nobles of the Radiance Empire also have a tradition of "no words to eat" when they enjoy their meals.

The dessert time after the main meal is specially prepared for small talk.

Tonight's dessert is fresh fruit sabaon, which is a kind of delicacy with egg liquid mixed with cream, and champagne poured on all kinds of fruits. After simple baking, the rich caramel aroma is instantly filled. the whole restaurant.

After the dessert is ready,

Aemon and Cathy sensible and timely retired, leaving the rest of the reminiscence time to Colin and Valla couple.

Sister Caitlin was very excited, twittering about all kinds of old anecdotes about the three of them in Greycastle, Valla and Colin added a few words from time to time, and the whole restaurant was full of joy.

But as time went by, Caitlin, who had just gone through the long journey, was obviously a little out of energy and became yawning.

Seeing this, the Valla Knight said thoughtfully, "Caitlyn, why don't you go back to rest first, and I'll talk to Colin for a while."

"Okay, I'm too tired today, so I'll go back to sleep first, and you can talk slowly."

Colin also smiled and nodded: "Okay, sister, the maid outside the hall will take you back to your room."

When the hall door opened and closed again, the restaurant suddenly became quiet.

A faint embarrassment began to circulate in the air.

The two men lifted the wine glasses in front of them almost at the same time and brought them to their lips.

Colin drank the deer blood wine in the cup, and then looked at Valla like this, as if waiting for the other party to speak first.

In Colin's opinion, Valla's visit to Ice Rock City this time should have been instructed by Earl Uman to win over the Angele family.

Caitlin had already helped set the atmosphere up before, and next, it should be Valla's performance time.

"Colin." Valla really said, "Actually... since the last time I followed the baron to the expedition, I have never been ashamed to see you."

"why?"

"Because, I failed to perform my duties well, which led to the unfortunate death of Lord Baron on the front line..." The sadness and self-blame in the eyes of the Valla Knights were completely flawless.

At least Colin couldn't find a flaw.

"What was the situation in the first place?"

"At that time, Lord Baron led the family army to carry out a rescue mission, but in the middle of it, he was surrounded by an army of trolls that were several times our size.

The battle was extremely brutal, the soldiers around me fell one by one, and my ears were full of screams...

Then, I saw with my own eyes Lord Baron being cut off by a troll warrior..."

Valla took a deep breath and seemed to calm down her excitement. After a while, she continued to narrate:

"Afterwards, I was also stabbed into the lower abdomen by a sword. Before I lost consciousness, I only remembered the wild smiling face of the troll warrior who defeated me..."

After listening to Valla's remarks, Colin nodded expressionlessly, with no joy or anger in his eyes, he just asked lightly, "So you were captured like this?"

Valla hesitated for a moment, then said in an uncertain tone: "It should be."

"should?"

"Well, in fact, I can't remember what happened after the injury. I only know that when I woke up again, I was already in the Falling Eagle City."

Colin finally sat up straight.

Because he found something wrong!

That's not what Oliver, the head of the Tulip Chamber of Commerce, said.

When that fat man gave Colin an expensive enchanted armor as an apology, he clearly said—

After the defeat of the Valla Knights, they became prisoners. They were wrapped by the troll army and prepared to take them back to the troll empire. However, when they were surrounded and intercepted by the black cavalry army, they were abandoned by the trolls on the ice field along with the remaining 50,000 human captives. After a lot of hardships, he returned to the north.

This statement is completely incompatible with what Valla is saying now!

what happened?

The two sides did not have a good confession?

Don't make such a low-level mistake...

So, Colin decided to try again: "Valla, Oliver, the head of the Tulip Chamber of Commerce, didn't tell me that."

"Oliver?" Valla frowned, "He probably got his mother's order to make up some things for me in front of you."

Colin blinked, obviously a little uncomfortable with Valla's frankness.

"Your mother? Ms. Penny? Why should she make up a story for you?"

"Mother she..." Valla's face flashed a trace of entanglement and pain, but she still whispered, "She may want to hide something..."

"Hiding what?" Colin continued to ask.

Valla raised her head and looked at Colin seriously, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes.

After a long time, he said again: "I suspect that the mother may have a secret connection with the troll."

"What?" Colin was taken aback.

The surprise really wasn't fake.

Of course Colin knew that Valla's mother, Penny, had a secret connection with the trolls, not only her, but also Count Uman.

But to his surprise, Valla actually admitted it himself!

However, next, Valla said something more surprising to Colin: "Colin, I heard that you were assassinated in Greycastle before?"

"Yes, Knight Carter did it."

"Do you know who ordered Knight Carter?"

"Who?"

"my mother."

Colin stared blankly at Valla Knight, the whole person was stupid.

At this time, his heart was madly complaining——

Brother, did you take the wrong script?
