The Original Vampire

"Mother……"

A look of sadness flashed in Elsa's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

Still, Colin caught it keenly.

No matter how Mrs. Sharon treated Elsa before, even if she tried to murder Elsa, she was Elsa's biological mother after all.

"How did the mother die?" Elsa tried to maintain a calm tone, but it showed her inner unease.

"Poisoned." Colin sighed and said again, "I have sent someone to investigate who may have been in your mother's room last night, but I'm afraid there may not be a result."

Elsa nodded, understanding what Colin meant.

She also knew that the two of them didn't pay too much attention to Mrs. Sharon's security before. After all, they didn't expect someone to kill Mrs. Sharon.

At this point, what happened, Elsa also realized something was wrong, and asked, "Why did someone kill her mother?"

"Duke Miller and Lady Sharon were not included in the rebellion planned by the Eastern Front."

Ke Lin just said one sentence, and Aisha understood the key point, and immediately said: "Mother has been silenced, so, in addition to the East, there is another force in Silvermoon City?"

"Yes." Colin nodded and asked again, "Have you been following the Miller family recently? Do you know which forces they might have contacted with?"

Elsa thought for a while and asked, "Colin, do you know your mother's origin?"

Seeing Colin shaking his head, Elsa continued: "Actually, the mother's surname should be Saint Hilde."

"What? Saint Hilde?" Colin was shocked.

"Yes. Strictly speaking, my mother is still the aunt of this generation of the Duke of the North."

"How come I never heard Vera talk about it?"

"Because the mother is an illegitimate daughter, and she is also the offspring of the previous generation of Duke St. Hilde and the alien half-elf. Therefore, the mother never dared to call herself a descendant of the St. Hilde family, and the St. Hilde family would not make it public. Acknowledge her existence.

However, even if it is a lowly illegitimate daughter, her mother still has the noble blood of the Paladin family flowing in her body. She may not be regarded by the human nobles, but she is still noble in the eyes of us half-elves.

So, she later married my father. "

Colin nodded and suddenly realized: "No wonder the previous generation of Duke St. Hilde wanted Vera to marry Prince Tupe, and at that time your Miller family was so active in trying to facilitate this, so there is still this relationship. exist.

Your Miller family has a very close relationship with the Saint Hilde family, and it can even be regarded as a sideline of the Saint Hilde family in the half-elf. "

"Yes." Elsa continued, "At the end of last year, when Queen Midella came to Silvermoon City to crown me, she was also very affectionate with the Miller family, especially my mother. I didn't think much about them at the time, thinking they were The intimacy is only because of this layer of blood connection."

"Queen Midella..." After Colin heard the name, he immediately narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

Although Queen Midella had formed a covenant with Ke Lin when she was in Royal Dragon City, and decided to fight against the power of the church, Ke Lin would not naively think that Queen Midella would really think about her "ally" everywhere. , without any concealment and small gestures.

When Queen Elsa was crowned last year, Queen Midella had coveted the half-elf kingdom and tried to provoke the relationship between Queen Elsa and Colin.

Fortunately, the relationship between Elsa and Colin is not as simple as Queen Midella thought.

But Queen Midella may not stop there.

Now it seems that Duke Miller and Mrs. Sharon may be the secret sons she left behind.

Elsa looked at Colin and asked, "Do you suspect Queen Midella?"

"It is indeed possible." Colin nodded and pondered, "She wants me to fight with the East, so she has enough motivation. If Mrs. Sharon is not exposed and you have an accident, I will only Put this account on the head of the people from the East who started the rebellion, and maybe they will march east in a fit of anger."

"Makes sense. Do I need to send someone to interrogate the rest of the Miller family? Maybe I can ask something."

"You can try it. However, even Mrs. Sharon has been silenced. Presumably, even if there are contacts over there in the Miller family, it is estimated that they have been cleaned up."

"Well, I just want to take this opportunity to rectify the Miller family, so that things like before can't happen again."

"Okay." Colin nodded, a hint of sternness flashed in his eyes, "This time, don't be merciful, all hidden dangers and suspicious people have been cleaned up, we can't be kept by the rebel forces in the half-elf country all the time. It takes energy."

"I see."

While talking, the two came to the artificial lake in the backyard of the palace.

The lake is full of red maple trees, and the late autumn wind blows gently, and the flame-like maple leaves fall down one by one, dancing lightly between the blue sky and green water, until they can't resist the temptation of gravity and fall on the lake. A white gull swept across the lake and picked up a white pelvic fin fish, causing the same kind to chirp for food.

Colin naturally took Elsa into his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head, sniffing the fragrance of her hair, immersed in this picturesque beauty, enjoying the solitude with his lover and daughter time.

At this moment, all conspiracies and intrigues were quietly kept away, and Colin no longer thought about the entanglements of interests in Silvermoon City.

Sometimes, Colin even wants to leave all of this behind, and only take the people he loves and those who love him to fly away and hide from the world.

Of course, this kind of thought just flashed by, and was left behind by Colin.

After all, Colin is not stupid and knows that this is just unrealistic thinking. If he really does not have a title, territory, or army, what awaits him is not freedom, but imprisonment and even death.

Strength is the foundation of his foothold in this world.

Unless he can learn from the elves, close an entire forest, and completely cut off contact with the outside world.

But even the elves, it is estimated that they will not be able to continue to live in seclusion.

The mysterious prophecy of the Savoy family, the strange behavior of the high priest Trisley, and the appearance of the Phoenix bloodline on Sylph seem to indicate that the re-emergence of the elves is not far away.

Once the ban of Huiyue Forest is opened, what impact will it have on the current situation of this world, Ke Lin is also somewhat unclear.

But he knew that he was destined to be involved.

So before that, Colin had to solidify his fundamentals - the northern realm and the half-elf kingdom.

As for the Eastern Territory, in a short period of time, he did not have any plans to send troops. After all, there is a natural moat like the Nushui River, and sending troops is always the last resort.

Moreover, what the North needs now is recuperation and recuperation. Continuing to use military force will only continue to consume the war potential of the North, and finally fight with the East to lose both sides, and the royal family who is sitting on the profit for nothing.

But the absence of troops did not mean that Ke Lin had no way to take the East Territory.
