The Original Vampire

The night is dark.

Colin walked alone on the promenade of the Swan Castle, occasionally passing by several patrolling guards.

Seeing Colin, the guards stopped to salute one after another, and Colin nodded absently.

Just after returning from the church, Colin was still thinking about the conversation he had with Prince Leahy in the confession room.

Especially the news that Mr. Ho might still be alive made Colin feel an irresistible depression.

But then, Colin shook his head and laughed, feeling that he was a little too worried.

After all, it has not been confirmed whether Mr. Ho is still alive or not. Even if it is true, then Prince Leahy is in front of him. Colin doesn't have to worry about facing this terrifying opponent.

Thinking of this, Colin's footsteps suddenly relaxed a lot.

The air also seemed to become sweeter.

kindness?

It doesn't seem, there is really a sweet fragrance in the air.

Colin turned a corner curiously and saw the open-air balcony at the end of the promenade.

On the balcony, a moving figure was standing alone.

It's Earl Schultz.

Tonight's countess wore a simple tunic dress without any jewelry, but the dress was well-cut, and it outlined her slender, flexible body curves vividly.

In Colin's opinion, Earl Schultz is a model of mature, graceful, elegant and charming lady, with a dignified but not pretentious manner, charming but not frivolous and arrogant, and always has a very friendly smile on his face.

Even if he knew that the loyalty of the Schultz family was questionable, it was difficult for Colin to feel bad for such an outstanding countess.

He should have heard Colin's footsteps, and Earl Schultz turned his head and smiled sweetly: "Your Excellency Viscount, are you going out for a walk?"

"Yeah, I couldn't sleep, I went to church to reveal my heart to my Lord, and I felt much better."

Colin responded with a smile, then stepped forward and stood side by side with Count Schultz.

The Swan Castle is built by the lake, looking out from the balcony,

Just be able to see the Swan Lake in the night.

The bright silver moon is reflected in the lake, ethereal and beautiful.

"Well, some things have indeed been said, and it will be better." Earl Schultz said pointedly.

Colin nodded in response, but his eyes crossed the vast lake and found the faint fire on the other side—that should be where Vera and the others were camping.

Earl Schultz followed Colin's gaze and seemed to understand something, so he said again: "The Duke is unwilling to enter Swan City, are you expressing your dissatisfaction with the Schultz family?"

Colin smiled lightly and said, "Lord Earl, do you think Duke St. Hilde can still trust the Schultz family now?"

"That's right. What the Schultz family has done before is really chilling. However, I am only targeting the last Duke of St. Hilde. For this Duke of St. Hilde, I am willing to offer infinite loyalty. !"

Colin turned his head to the side and looked at the solemn Count Schultz with scrutiny.

Earl Schultz met Colin's gaze without flinching, the sincerity in his eyes did not seem to be fake.

But of course Colin will not be moved by a few light words, and he has seen many politicians with outstanding acting skills. Who knows if this Earl of Schultz is one of the best.

"I will convey your words to Duke St. Hilde." Colin said lightly.

Earl Schultz saw Colin's perfunctory intention and said again: "You don't believe me."

"I just find it hard to trust a man who once betrayed his lord."

Earl Schultz flashed a trace of sadness in his eyes, and seemed to be hurt by Colin's words. After a while, he said again: "Then you know why I betrayed the last Duke of Saint Hilde when I was in Ice Rock City?"

Colin was a witness to the lord's rebellion, and of course he knew the situation at that time.

But looking at the appearance of Earl Schultz, it seems that this motive has another hidden meaning.

"Is it not because of the fiasco of the Marquis Charles at the front?"

"Not exactly." Earl Schultz shook his head slowly, "It's because of Marquis Garcia!"

Colin's expression changed, but he was not too surprised. After all, Marquis Garcia also deliberately expressed his dissatisfaction with his brother at that time, just to provoke the lords to rebel.

But Count Schultz's next sentence startled Colin: "Marquis Garcia is my lover."

"Well?" Colin looked at the beautiful countess beside him, and the fire of gossip suddenly ignited in his heart.

"At the beginning, I thought that Garcia finally had the courage to resist his brother, so I joined the lord's rebel army, but I didn't expect... Hehe, I still overestimated his courage!"

Colin looked at Earl Schultz, who was gnashing his teeth, and didn't know what to say for a while.

But in his opinion, I am afraid that the countess is a bit self-indulgent, and Marquis Garcia is obviously more willing to cooperate with his brother to carry out a wave of purges against the lords of the North, so as to consolidate the rule of the Saint Hilde family.

At that time, even Colin was taken by Marquis Garcia to hunt outside the city, thus avoiding the whirlpool of rebellion, but Marquis Garcia did not notify Earl Schultz. It may not be that important in the mind.

Earl Schultz seemed to see through what Colin was thinking, and immediately asked, "Do you think I overestimated my position in Marquis Garcia's heart?"

Colin touched his nose and said helplessly: "That's not true. I don't think that Duke St. Hilde's purge of the rebel lords later affected you. Perhaps it was Marquis Garcia who pleaded for you."

Earl Schultz pulled out a mocking smile and said, "Actually, you are not wrong to think that way, I am afraid I have really overestimated my position in Marquis Garcia's heart.

Twenty years ago, I even foolishly thought he would marry me, but I did not expect that the Duke of St. Hilde only asked him to give up the command of the Black Cavalry in order to marry me, and he hesitated.

What did you say to me, wait for him to break through the Troll King City, and then put down the black cavalry to marry me, hehe, fortunately I didn't wait for him, otherwise I don't know how many years it will take..."

Colin looked a little surprised. He didn't expect that Marquis Garcia and Earl Schultz really reached the point of talking about marriage, but they were stopped by Duke St. Hilde.

Of course, Colin can understand Duke St. Hilde's conditions. After all, Marquis Garcia holds the number one army in the north. If he gets the help of the Schultz family, his influence in the north will be too huge.

At that time, Duke St. Hilde should not have been promoted to the sanctuary, so it is natural to be apprehensive about it.

"...Perhaps in the hearts of people like Marquis Garcia, achievements and careers will always be ranked before the love of children." Count Schultz is still sighing.

Colin remained silent, and it was not easy for him to express his opinion on this.

However, he suddenly felt that his old husband might still be hiding a lot of secrets.

"Those are all over, and I have long since let go." Earl Schultz tucked a strand of hair behind his ear and changed the conversation, "But there are some things that I have to worry about."

Colin turned his head suspiciously and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I had a daughter for him."

"What?" Colin suspected that his ears had heard it wrong.

Earl Schultz looked indifferent, nodded and said: "Yes, Vera is the daughter of Marquis Garcia and me, and was adopted by the last Duke of St. Hilde. So you should now understand why I said Schulz just now. The Ci family will not betray this generation of Duke St. Hilde, right?"

Colin stared at Earl Schultz in a stunned manner, and a huge wave was set off in his heart.

what happened?

Wasn't Vera's biological mother Queen Midella?

Immediately, Colin immediately realized—

I am afraid that I have been tricked by the queen!

What an exchange of handles! What will definitely support Vera!

It's all the Queen's trick!

She used this little trick to successfully win Colin's trust, and in the name of exchange, she forced him to hand over her own handle!

At this time, Colin was a little fortunate that he had not handed over the really deadly handle back then.

Otherwise, he may have to let Queen Midella handle it in the future!

At this moment, the advice of Prince Leahy appeared in his mind——

"Be careful of the queen, that's a dangerous woman."
