The Original Vampire

Bang!

There is another coffin in the conference hall of Lion Roar Castle.

The guard carrying the coffin reported loudly: "Master Joyce, we found this body in the room of Butler Delinden."

After Viscount Valla stepped forward to check it out, he said with a sad face: "Yes, it is indeed my father's body!"

"Framed! This is framed!" Joyce screamed, his little face full of anger and panic, "You are the one who framed the housekeeper!"

Looking at the gaffe Joyce, Colin smiled slightly and said, "Master Joyce, you can't slander an upright knight out of thin air."

Knight Louis also immediately stood up and questioned: "If it was really Steward Delinden who conspired to kill Earl Uman, why did he deliberately hide the other party's body in his room?"

Colin seemed to be well prepared and explained calmly, "Because, he wants to find something from Earl Uman."

"what?"

"The will of the Duke of St. Hilde!"

"will?!"

For a time, everyone screamed in surprise.

Knight Louis also looked at Colin in surprise, all kinds of thoughts flashed in his heart, and he didn't dare to speak for a while.

"Duke St. Hilde ever left a will?" Adjani seemed to know the existence of this will for the first time, and stared at Colin without blinking.

"Of course." Colin pointed to Viscount Valla, motioning for him to explain.

Viscount Valla immediately took out a roll of parchment and said solemnly:

"I just found this will from my father's room, and it is this will that caused my father to be brutally murdered!"

Having said that, Viscount Valla handed the will to Adjani and said respectfully, "His Excellency the Archbishop, please come and read the will of the Duke."

Adjani took the sheepskin roll. On the surface, the wind was calm, but in fact, a storm had already set off in her heart.

Even if she hadn't read the contents of the will, she could already guess what was written in it.

Looking at the fearless appearance of Colin and Valla, this will must have established Vera as the heir!

Moreover, the performance of Colin and Valla singing together just now also made Adjani recognize a cruel fact——

The Uman family has sided with Vera!

This is the deadliest!

The defection of the Uman family means that the Joyce family has completely lost control of Winter City.

There is also the Golden Lion Army loyal to Vera outside the city. Under such circumstances, even if the city defense army is still in the hands of Joyce's family, it can't make any waves.

That's why Colin dared to kill Butler Delinden in public and framed it recklessly.

Mastering absolute strength, also mastering the right to speak.

It's like holding a tube of washing powder in a country, and you can say that another country has weapons of mass destruction.

What matters is not the veracity of the evidence, but whether you have the strength to shut up the doubters.

Now, Colin has such strength.

Adjani's heart was heavy, and she knew that she had to make a new choice.

I saw her slowly unfolding the parchment scroll, and in the eyes of everyone's expectation, she lightly opened her red lips,

Read aloud:

"I, Sirius St. Hilde, in the name of the seventeenth Duke of the North, canonized Willa St. Hilde as the Marquis of the North. After my death, she will inherit the position of the Duke of the North and take the helm The authority of the north, inheriting the glory of Saint Hilde..."

"Impossible! It's impossible!" Joyce's sharp and tender voice sounded again.

There is no longer the arrogance of the young man, replaced by endless fear and anger.

"I don't believe it! I'm my father's first-in-line heir! How could my father let Vera inherit the throne of the duke? Show me, show me!"

Joyce held out a trembling hand and demanded to see the will for himself.

But Adjani ignored his request and said lightly: "This is indeed the handwriting of Duke St. Hilde, and the badge is fine."

This means that the church acknowledges the validity of the will!

Colin smiled slightly, this beautiful archbishop is very skilled at seeing the wind.

However, the other party's awareness of current affairs also saved him a lot of trouble.

"Give it to me, I'll see it!" Joyce shouted relentlessly.

However, Adjani did not seem to have heard his request at all, and after receiving the will, she handed it back to Viscount Valla.

Viscount Valla ignored Joyce and kept the will close to him.

Joyce was completely ignored.

"You...you..." The little boy's face flushed red, his body began to tremble, and his eyes were full of unbelievable fear.

This young child experienced the bitterness of the scorching world too early.

But everyone present at this time has no time to worry about the mental health of a brat, especially after the brat lost the halo of the heir to the duke.

Viscount Valla continued to explain: "My father told me that when he first arrived in Winter City three days ago, Steward Delinden approached him and showed him this will.

However, when the butler took out this will at that time, he did not intend to follow it, but to destroy it completely and support Master Joyce in his position!

Therefore, the father pretended to help the housekeeper to destroy the will, but in fact he secretly lost the package and secretly hid the real will.

Louis Cavaliers was there at the time, and he can testify. "

Everyone's eyes were instantly focused on Louis Knight.

At this time, Louis also understood that the situation was over, and the mutiny of the Uman family had made Joyce's succession impossible.

What's more, the will was not destroyed.

At this moment, Knight Louis even wondered if Earl Uman had been playing Infernal Affairs all the time.

Has the Uman family always supported Vera?

Have you been fooled from beginning to end?

Knight Louis fell into deep panic and confusion. At this time, facing Varra's questioning, he hesitated for a moment, and then he had to nod and admit the authenticity of the matter.

With the approval of Knight Louis, Viscount Varla became more confident and continued:

"The moment my father saw the Duke's will, he had already decided to support Miss Vera, but at that time, Steward Delinden insisted on supporting Master Joyce, and claimed to have united all forces in the city to persecute his father. join them.

In desperation, the father had to pretend to agree first.

But when Viscount Angele entered the city on behalf of Miss Vera, her father immediately formed an alliance with her, and wanted to lead the family army out of the city to fight against the rebels with the Golden Lion Legion!

However, such behavior was regarded as a betrayal by Steward Delinden, so he secretly contacted the dwarves and arranged for the assassin to brutally kill his father.

After killing his father, Delinden wanted to find the will from his father's body, which made the assassin leave his father's body, and only took his father's head to leave Lion's Roar Castle and return to his life.

But what they didn't know was that their father had kept this will in his room. "

After hearing the story of Viscount Valla, everyone present fell into silence for a while.

It seems that everything about the death of Earl Uman has a reasonable explanation, but whether this explanation is the truth or not is actually not that important.

They all understood that the story Viscount Valla just told was just a high-sounding excuse. What really worked was the crushing military strength of the current Vera family.

Therefore, when Viscount Valla decided to fall to Vera's line, the situation in Winter City was doomed.

Butler Delinden must be a traitor, not because of the "truth" that Viscount Valla told just now, but because of the army of the Uman family and the Golden Lion Legion outside the city.

Colin coughed lightly, and said sternly: "Delinden colluded with the rebels and murdered Earl Uman, the crime should be punished!

Do you have any other comments? "

His eyes swept across the faces of everyone present.

Joyce was already stupid under such a huge blow, and he stood there motionless as if he had lost his soul.

Knight Louis had bowed his head for a long time now, thinking only about how to save his life.

The Chester Knights were already neutral, and they remained silent at this moment.

As for Archbishop Adjani, after receiving Ke Lin's gaze, she smiled brightly and nodded:

"Delinden really deserves what he deserves, Viscount Angele, I fully agree with your approach!"

Colin also smiled with satisfaction: "It is my honor to have your approval, Archbishop. However, I still hope that you can find someone to repair the church, so that the tragedy of Knight Thomas will not happen again."

The meaning of these words is to confirm that Thomas was indeed killed by the collapsed church, which is Colin's return for Adjani's change of position.

Adjani also heard what Colin meant, and the smile on her face suddenly brightened.

Colin's reciprocal behavior made her understand that this is a partner who is willing to cooperate.

In this case, it is not unacceptable to let Wei ** on the throne.

"Viscount Angele, please rest assured, we will definitely strengthen the church again, and we will never let similar accidents happen again.

Now, let's welcome Miss Vera into Winter City as soon as possible. "

"As you wish!"
