The Original Vampire

How to build trust?

Different people have different approaches to this problem.

Queen Midella's method is to exchange secrets with each other as a handle for each other.

Since Grace can become Queen Midella's ally, it means that this seemingly innocent girl actually has a deadly handle in the Queen's hands.

With the handle, they have the means to restrain each other, and they will not betray each other.

Of course, the premise is that this handle must be real.

Colin played tricks last time, but later he found out that Queen Midella was also dishonest.

Hey, it's all old silver coins.

exchanged for loneliness.

However, Grace's words...

Colin felt that this young girl might not be able to deceive Queen Midella like herself.

That's why he asked the question just now.

Grace glanced at Colin, but hesitated and did not speak.

Colin picked up the teacup and drank the scented tea in one go, saying:

"Originally, Earl Evan ran away, and you lost the chance to win my trust. But now, there is a new opportunity in front of you, what are you hesitating about?"

Grace poured another cup of tea for Colin, and said tentatively, "Lord Earl, when I formed an alliance with Her Royal Highness the Queen, Her Highness exchanged her secrets with me. I don't know about you..."

Colin smiled lightly and said, "Of course you can. I'll tell you what I gave to Queen Midella."

Grace obviously didn't expect Colin to be so good at talking, and she was instantly refreshed and nodded again and again.

"My reason is - Charles St. Hilde was killed by me!"

Colin handed over his "handle" without blushing.

Grace couldn't hide her shock. She never wanted to kill Earl Evan before, because she was afraid of being contaminated with the blood of the Paladin family, but she didn't expect that the person in front of her would be...

Also, Charles is his wife's older brother!

Grace would like to ask Colin, don't you feel guilty facing your wife at night?

But from the beginning to the end, Grace never thought about whether Colin was lying to herself.

In her opinion, since Colin was able to use this secret to win the trust of Queen Midella, of course it was true.

Looking at Grace's wide-eyed eyes, Colin raised his hand and made an inviting gesture, saying, "It's your turn."

Grace took a few deep breaths, calmed her heart, and then asked back:

"Lord Earl, do you know why I didn't feel too sad after learning that you killed Earl Brugen?"

Colin's heart moved.

Indeed, Grace is acting a bit odd.

Originally, Ke Lin thought that the other party was pretending to be strong, looking for an opportunity to assassinate and revenge with the enemy who killed his father.

But Colin had given her so many great opportunities to assassinate, and Grace had done nothing.

If she is the coward of Viscount Green, that's fine.

But to be so calm after learning the news of her father's death, Grace is obviously courageous enough.

Moreover, from the perspective of getting along during this period of time, Colin felt that, rather than avenging her father, Grace was more like working tirelessly to gain Colin's trust.

If it weren't for the fear of being contaminated with the blood of the direct line members of the Paladin family, it is estimated that Grace would be willing to kill her fiancé to pay her name.

This is not at all what a girl should look like when she is facing the enemy who killed her father.

"Why? Earl Brugen treats you badly?" Colin thought, not a ghost. Father's bloody story, right?

Grace shook her head and said, "No, my father is very kind to me, he loves me very much, and treats me as if he were his own."

"As oneself?" Colin was about to ask if you could use words, but he immediately reacted, "Isn't Earl Brugen your biological father?"

Grace nodded, confirming Colin's guess.

Colin hurriedly asked: "Who is your biological father? And how did the queen know this secret?"

Grace showed a look of recollection, and then narrated:

"Five years ago, I followed my father to Royal Dragon City to attend His Majesty's birthday celebration, and that was the first time I saw Queen Midella.

When we first met, Her Royal Highness unabashedly showed her love for me, and even offered to teach me court etiquette in person.

Lord Count, you should also know that this is actually a hint that you want me to marry into the royal family.

My father was very pleasantly surprised. Although I knew that it was unlikely that I would marry Prince Harrison, even if I could marry a collateral member of the San Lorenzo family, it would be a great deal for the Brugen family. of glory.

So, that night, my father sent me to the queen and let me be taught.

But when my father left, the queen suddenly said to me - you are not the biological daughter of Count Bruggen!

At that time, I was so frightened that I didn't dare to refute the queen, but I didn't believe her words either.

But the queen asked me to go back and ask my mother, saying that I would get the answer from her.

After returning, I immediately found my mother and told her what the queen said, hoping to get a negative answer from her.

It's a pity that my mother's face changed greatly after hearing this, and then she had to admit that the queen was right, I am indeed not the daughter of Count Bruggen..."

"Then whose daughter are you?" Colin couldn't help asking.

Grace shook her head, her eyes full of confusion: "I don't know either. I asked my mother, but my mother refused to tell me. I also asked the queen, and she didn't want to tell me.

Just to reassure me that she will not tell this secret to others, and to reassure me, she also shared a secret of her own.

Since then, I have become more and more intimate with Queen Midella. She not only taught me court etiquette, but also told me a lot of things, including the open and secret struggle between the royal family and the church, and she even confessed that I was one of her people in the Eastern Territory. A chess piece that will play a big role in the future.

After staying in the Phoenix Palace for a whole year, I returned to the Eastern Territory.

Before leaving, Queen Midella also explained to me that someone will contact me in the future... So, when you appeared in Tinder City, I thought this person was you. "

"The queen never told me about your existence." Colin shook his head, and then he thought of the Emperor Reinhardt who liked to cuckold his vassals, and couldn't help but guess, "Could you be your majesty? illegitimate daughter?"

But as soon as he finished speaking, Colin immediately denied his guess: "No, it shouldn't be. Emperor Reinhardt cuckolds the people below, but it's an open and honest job."

Grace nodded in agreement.

Indeed, if she is really the emperor's illegitimate daughter, she should be kept in captivity in the imperial capital at this moment, and Earl Brugen would not have been ignorant of it, and was foolish enough to keep her as his biological daughter for so long.

"What about your mother?" Colin asked again.

"Mother has passed away." Grace looked sad.

Well, another thread is broken.

"Then what family is your mother from?"

"Saint Landers."

"Lord of the South?" Ke Lin was a little surprised.

"Yes. But the mother was a descendant of the Saint Landers family."

Colin was silent, he didn't know much about the southern border, and he couldn't infer anything from this alone.

Shaking his head, Colin decided not to spin around in this dead end, and instead asked, "By the way, what was the secret that Queen Midella exchanged with you?"

When he asked this question, Colin didn't care too much, because he estimated that what Grace got was a lie similar to - I am Vera's biological mother.

But unexpectedly, Grace's answer surprised Colin.

"Her Royal Highness told me that Prince Harrison and Princess Judy are not the children of Emperor Reinhardt."
