The Original Vampire

Back in the room, Colin washed up and prepared to rest.

However, lying on the bed tossing and turning but couldn't fall asleep, the secrets that Earl Schultz confided to him just now kept tumbling in his mind.

Suddenly, Colin realized a problem.

When Queen Midella claimed to be Vera's mother, she also told another secret - she poisoned the Marquis of Adams!

If Queen Midella was not Vera's biological mother, why did she blatantly poison Adams when Duke St. Hilde broke his promise and did not give Vera the title of Marquis of the North?

Well, if this is also a lie lied by Queen Midella, what about the will left by Duke St. Hilde?

Earl Uman said before his death that someone forced the Duke of Saint Hilde to make this will, and this person was most likely Queen Midella.

Moreover, when she was in Royal Dragon City before, Queen Midella had indeed been helping Vera to successfully inherit the throne of the Duke of the North. If it wasn't because Vera was her daughter, why?

What Queen Midella says may be false, but what she does has always been true.

Based on these, Colin could not deny her special care for Vera.

And Earl Schultz...

On the contrary, Earl Schultz seems to have only verbal claims, but no deeds to prove.

However, Colin also felt that Earl Schultz was unlikely to lie.

After all, if she is not Vera's biological mother, first of all, as an outsider, it is unlikely that she will know who Vera's biological father is, and her lies will be immediately exposed by Marquis Garcia. After all, she is ready to openly communicate with Vera. mother-daughter relationship...

and many more!

Colin immediately sat up straight from the bed.

Earl Schultz wants to reveal his mother-daughter relationship with Vera!

Colin suddenly realized that once Earl Schultz met Vera in public and confirmed their mother-daughter relationship, even if she was lying, Marquis Garcia would not dare to refute it publicly.

Because, the relationship between Queen Midella and Vera is not good!

The Radiance Empire would never accept a queen who had an incestuous relationship with her brother.

The reputation of the Saint Hilde family will also suffer a great blow.

Therefore, if Earl Schultz lies, he is not afraid of it!

However, there is only one problem with this assumption - how did Earl Schultz know that Marquis Garcia was Vera's biological father?

Moreover, judging from her fearless appearance, she should also know that Vera's real biological mother is Queen Midella!

This secret, even Marquis Garcia did not tell Colin.

Who lied?

Queen Midella? Or Earl Schultz?

The question lingered in Colin's mind, preventing him from falling asleep again.

Since he couldn't sleep, Colin simply got up from the bed.

Putting on a coat, Colin walked out of the room.

It was already dark, and the Swan Castle was quiet, only the faint hooting of owls could be heard from somewhere.

Colin was walking on the dim promenade, thinking about whether to bring Vera into the city tomorrow.

If Earl Schultz is lying, then once Vera enters the city, the two will recognize each other in public. Even if Earl Schultz is not Vera's biological mother, she must be.

Because Marquis Garcia didn't dare to refute publicly, and as for Queen Midella, even less dared to admit it.

Thinking of this, Colin suddenly felt that he couldn't bring Vera into the city.

At least ask Marquis Garcia first.

If Earl Schultz is really Vera's biological mother, Colin can take her to Winter City to meet Vera, and there is no need to rush her.

After making the decision, Colin felt much more relaxed.

Just when he was about to return to the room to rest, he smelled a faint smell of blood again!

Colin's eyes narrowed!

Because he discovered that this bloody smell was exactly the same as what he smelled in the confession room of the Glory Church in Swan City not long ago!

Following this smell, Colin quickened his pace.

It didn't take long for him to find that he had returned to the open-air balcony where he had just talked to Earl Schultz!

The cold moonlight fell on Colin's face, reflecting his uncertain expression.

Ke Lin looked at the dark lake outside the balcony that looked like a huge mouth of the abyss, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Earl Schultz, it seems that you are really not a good person!

...

In the early morning of the second day, it was just dawn, and several maids who were fetching water by the lake saw Colin and his party returning to the camp on horseback.

"Good morning, Lord Viscount!"

"Good morning, is the Duke still awake?"

"not yet."

Colin nodded to the maids, then entered the camp and went straight to Vera's camp.

The new Duke of the North was still sound asleep, Colin leaned over and kissed her lightly white forehead.

Vera's slender eyelashes trembled a few times, and then she opened her eyes in a daze. Seeing that it was Colin, she snorted a few times, wrapped her arms around him as a pillow, and said softly:

"Colin, why did you come back so early?"

Colin stretched out his hand and smoothed Livira's smooth hair, and said warmly, "I'll say goodbye to you, and I'll go back to Swan City later."

Vera sat up straight, put her hands around Colin's neck, and asked, "Didn't Bishop John find it yet?"

"Not yet, and I also found some interesting things here that need further investigation, so you go back to Winter City first."

"Okay." Vera was a little reluctant, she leaned forward and gave Colin a deep kiss.

After some tenderness, Colin took out a letter from his arms and gave it to Vera, and at the same time urged: "After returning to Winter City, you help me hand this letter to Marquis Garcia, and ask him to immediately give it to Marquis Garcia. Write me back, understand?"

Seeing Colin's serious face, Vera put away her laziness and nodded seriously, "I see."

"Okay, then I'm leaving, remember to say goodbye to the two little guys for me."

"Well, be careful yourself."

...

Outside the Swan City, the honor guard of the Schultz family once again formed the neatest formation, showing the most high spirits, ready to welcome the upcoming distinguished guests.

Earl Schultz and Lucien stood at the front of the team hand in hand, with perfect smiles on their faces, watching the team that was approaching from the other side of the river.

But it didn't take long for the smile on Lucien's face to freeze. He narrowed his eyes and said in a condensed voice, "No! That's not the car of the Duke of the North, there are too few people!"

"What?" Earl Schultz also quickly looked at it, and then found something wrong.

Her heart sank, and she kept thinking about which step went wrong.

Soon, Colin came to Swan City.

He immediately got off his horse, and said sincerely, "I'm so sorry, Count Schultz! The Duke's motorcade has already set off, and I was a step late and didn't catch up."

Earl Schultz took a deep breath, suppressed the anger and vague fear in his heart, and tried to look a little disappointed, but not too much, and said:

"It doesn't matter, it seems that Swan City is destined to not be able to enjoy this glory."

Colin carefully watched the expression on Earl Schultz's face, and suddenly laughed:

"Count Schultz, then you should go to Winter City to meet the Duke in person!"

"That's right." Count Schultz regained his calm again, and the elegant and noble countess appeared again.

Colin turned his head to look at Lucien, who was expressionless, and said with a smile, "Your Excellency Lucien, why don't we search Swan City together to see if we can find out the whereabouts of Bishop John?"

Lucien smiled lightly and said:

"my pleasure!"
