The Original Vampire

Bailu City, the gate of the city.

The guard stopped the person in front of him and asked in a routine manner:

"Name? Where did it come from? What are you doing in Bailu City?"

The man glanced at the absent-minded guard and spat out a name: "Vincent Saint-Pros."

"Oh, you need to pay an entry tax of three copper coins to enter the city..." The guard said subconsciously, but he immediately reacted, and finally raised his head and looked at the person in front of him in surprise.

"Marquis... Lord Marquis!" The guard finally recognized Vincent and immediately bowed and saluted.

His exclamation also caused a commotion at the city gate. Not long after, the knight on duty at the city gate rushed over and welcomed Marquis Vincent into the city.

Marquis Vincent didn't delay much at the city gate, and went straight to Fort Bailu. However, his speed is not fast. He rode around the city on horseback, not only to see what has changed in his long-awaited hometown, but also to give Bailubao some preparation time.

Marquis Vincent was very curious what his father would look like when he saw him later.

All the way to Bailu Fort, the butler has led a team of attendants to greet him at the door.

"Master, you are back!"

Marquis Vincent nodded, turned over and dismounted, handed the reins to the squire, and asked the steward, "Where's my father?"

"Master is in the study. Would you like to bathe and change first, or go directly to see Master?"

"I'll go directly to see my father."

Marquis Vincent took the wet handkerchief brought by the maid, wiped his face, and walked to the study.

Everything in the castle is the same as before, as if nothing has changed, but Marquis Vincent clearly understands that since he was captured in Silvermoon City, many things here have changed.

Although the attendants he met along the way were still respectful, Marquis Vincent could still keenly sense the subtleties in their eyes.

Walking along the spiral staircase to the third floor of the castle, Marquis Vincent stopped in front of the study, adjusted his collar, and then knocked on the door.

dong dong dong.

"Come in."

Marquis Vincent took a deep breath and pushed the door in.

"Father, I'm back!"

The Duke of Saint-Pros, who was playing against the Duchess, put down the crystal chess piece, looked up at his eldest son, and said expressionlessly:

"I didn't expect you to dare to come back?"

Marquis Vincent smiled lightly and said, "Father, what are you talking about. This is my home, why would I dare not come back?"

Feeling the tension between father and son, the duchess slowly got up, walked to her son, reached out to help him straighten his messy hair, and sighed: "This trip to Silvermoon City, you suffered."

Marquis Vincent's heart warmed, and the smile on his face became more sincere, and said: "Mother, going to Silvermoon City is my own choice, no matter what I experience, I will not resent anyone, and this operation failed. I do need to take responsibility, and I won't run away.

However, I must not allow someone to stab me in the back! "

The eyes of the Duke of Saint-Pros flickered,

Asked, "Who do you say stabbed you in the back?"

Marquis Vincent sneered and said, "Who else is there except my good brother Evan?"

The Duke of St. Pros didn't speak, and seemed to be thinking about something.

The Duchess took her son's hand, let him sit down on the sofa, and poured him a cup of black tea. When she heard Evan's name, she immediately asked:

"By the way, where's the Evan? Didn't he come back with you?"

Marquis Vincent glanced at his mother aggrieved, and said in an angry tone: "How dare I come back with him? Who knows if Evan will confirm my 'death' on the way?"

The Duchess frowned and reprimanded: "How can you doubt your brother so much!"

"Have I wronged him?" Marquis Vincent looked disdainful, "Didn't he always insist that I have been assassinated in Silvermoon City?"

The Duke of Saint-Pros didn't answer the question, but asked, "How on earth did you get back?"

"Of course it was exchanged by you with a half-pegasus naval fleet!" Marquis Vincent took it for granted, "Isn't the conditions negotiated? Earl Angelie got the batch of battleships, and was in Alfalfa City. I was released. But I didn’t dare to meet the good brother who kept cursing me to death, so I took a small boat down the Anger River and returned to Bailu City.”

After listening to Marquis Vincent's remarks, the study suddenly fell into silence.

After a long while, the Duke of St. Pros asked aloud, "You don't know what happened to Clover City?"

"What happened?" Marquis Vincent looked confused.

The Duke of St. Pros picked up a letter from the desk and said, "This is a letter from Evan from Alfalfa City, you can read it yourself."

Marquis Vincent put down the teacup, got up and went to the desk, picked up the letterhead and looked at it carefully.

Bang!

"He's slandering!" Marquis Vincent slammed the letter on the table and shouted in anger, "I don't know what happened behind Alfalfa City, and I don't know how it became like this, but he To say that I colluded with the North to turn against Earl Hall is simply a big joke!

Why should I do this?

And if that's the case, how dare I go back to Bailu City alone?

Evan, he made it clear that he wanted to put the blame for the defeat on me! "

The Duke of St. Pros carefully observed his son's expression, as if he wanted to find a flaw.

This look obviously angered Marquis Vincent, and he roared at his father angrily:

"Father, don't you understand at this time? This incident was Evan's conspiracy from beginning to end, but he was self-defeating and screwed up!

He first made Lord Fei Ying lie and said that I had been assassinated in Silvermoon City, in order to make you make up your mind to support him as the heir of the Duke of Eastland, and then used the pretext of revenge for me, nominally to take revenge on Eastland , but in fact it is to clear out the forces that support me and pave the way for his future succession.

Why did I collude with the North to turn against Earl Hall?

Obviously, in order to eradicate dissidents, he forced Earl Hall against him!

Father, such a person who will do anything to frame his elder brother, force against Earl Hall, and destroy the biggest barrier in the east for the sake of his superior position, do you still want to continue to believe his nonsense! "

The Duke of St. Pros didn't speak, just looked at his son silently, and didn't know if he believed what Marquis Vincent said.

After a long while, the Duchess still broke the silence: "Okay, Vincent, you are tired from rushing back all the way, go back and rest first. What happened in Alfalfa City, your father and I will definitely find out. "

"Okay." Marquis Vincent nodded and left the study.

When the door was closed again, the Duke of St. Pros looked at his wife and asked:

"You believe what he just said?"

The Duchess shook her head and said:

"Do not believe."
