The Original Vampire

"What did you say?!"

The Duke of St. Pros immediately let go of his wife, and instead grabbed the butler's collar with a grim look.

Under the duke's cannibalistic gaze, the old butler had no choice but to tell tremblingly:

"Master, according to the report of Master Vincent, when the master arrived at the Hall family manor, he happened to meet a group of people from the north holding the Hall family members to flee. In a fit of rage, the master ordered the manor Surrounded, and then personally fought with the northerners...

But in a moment of carelessness, the young master was killed by a northerner in red armor..."

"People from the North?" The Duke of St. Pros dragged the butler to the edge of the balcony, pointed to the east city and growled, "Look carefully, the Blood Cavalry has not been able to break through the defense line of the Pegasus Army, how could they kill The Hall family is still trying to hold them away?"

"My lord, I don't know either. Maybe it's a group of assassins in the north that sneaked in secretly, not the blood cavalry soldiers..."

"How many are they?"

"It is reported that there are probably dozens of people..."

"There are only so many people, are you all stupid pigs!"

The Duke of St. Pros kept the butler heavily on the ground in a fit of rage, and then rushed out like a raging bull.

The Duchess watched her husband's back disappear gradually at the end of the corridor, and turned to the housekeeper who had shrunk in the corner, and asked:

"What about Molly and Eckert? Did they go back to the Halls?"

Molly in the Duchess' mouth is actually the wife of Marquis Vincent, and Eckert is the son of Marquis Vincent.

"No, ma'am, they are all still in White Dew Castle."

"Okay, send someone to watch them and don't let them leave the castle."

"Yes."

After the housekeeper withdrew, the Duchess stood on the balcony and looked in the direction of the Hall family, and felt the Wu Qing on her wrist that had just been grasped by her husband, her face became a little uncertain.

...

Hall family.

The fierce fighting has ceased,

The group of northern assassins who rushed in were not many, and they were quickly killed or subdued by the Pegasus Legion who came to support them.

But after achieving such a victory, none of the Eastern Border soldiers present could laugh.

Because, Marquis Vincent is dead!

An extremely depressing atmosphere hangs over the manor, as if a prelude to an imminent storm.

Knight Muffat's face was gloomy as if water could drip. He suppressed the anger and fear in his heart, and asked the woman in front of him:

"Mrs. Delin, how did these northerners appear in the Hall Family Manor?"

Madam Delin, the wife of Earl Hall, and the current head of the Hall family in White Dew City, said calmly:

"Lord Muffat, how did these people from the north sneak into Bailu City? Shouldn't you ask your Tianma Legion?"

Knight Muffat was reluctant to take the blame, and immediately asked with a sneer:

"Mrs. Delin, who do you think you can hide from? Your Hall family has long been colluding with the North Territory. What Earl Hall did in Clover City is a blatant betrayal of the East Territory!

And this time, the blood cavalry army rushed into Bailu City, and the target was directly at your family's manor. Hey, isn't it obvious what they want to do! "

"I don't know what the Northlanders want to do, but don't try to slander the Hall family!"

"Then why are you all carrying luggage?" Knight Muffat sneered, "It's so late, are you still planning to travel?"

Madam Delin suffocated and was speechless.

Knight Muffat took the opportunity to intimidate: "Mrs. Delin, the Duke has not judged you yet, just want to give your Hall family a chance to reform, so don't try to quibble and hide, tell me. , Have these northerners contacted you long ago?"

Madam Delin struggled for a while, and after a long while she finally gritted her teeth: "Lord Muffat, do you know who made us prepare to escape?"

"Who?"

"Marquis Vincent!"

"Marquis Vincent?" Knight Muffat never expected to get such an answer from Delphi, but his first reaction was—

This woman is lying.

So, he snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "Mrs. Delin, it's not a smart choice to pour dirty water on a knight who just died heroically."

"But that's the truth!" Madame Derin insisted. "Marquis Vincent asked Molly to inform us that if you see knights in red armor, go with them!"

The Muffat knight stared into Madam Delin's eyes, and the other party looked at her without flinching.

Intuition told Knight Muffat that Mrs. Delin was not lying.

But if this is the case, doesn't it mean that Marquis Vincent planned to help the Hall family escape?

This is ridiculous too!

What's even more ridiculous is that Marquis Vincent died in the battle to prevent the Hall family from fleeing...

Knight Muffat was speechless for a while—how could he be almost deceived by such a contradictory and flawed lie just now?

"Mrs. Delin, if you don't tell the truth again, don't blame me for being rude..."

Before the knight Muffat began to take measures against the stubborn Mrs. Delin, there were bursts of greetings from outside the manor:

"Lord Duke!"

Knight Muffat froze in his heart, and he could no longer care about Mrs. Delin, and immediately strode out.

Before he could reach the gate of the manor, he saw that the Duke of St. Pros had strode in.

"Lord Duke!"

The Muffat knight immediately bowed and saluted, and then heard the low and hoarse voice of the Duke of St. Pros:

"where?"

"It's in the hall." Knight Muffat hurriedly led the way.

I thought that the Duke of St. Pros would inquire about the specific situation, but found that the other party just walked forward in silence, and did not even stop when passing Mrs. Delin.

Entering the hall, the Duke of St. Pros found that his son's body had been collected and placed in a crystal coffin.

He took a few steps closer and saw Vincent lying there with a peaceful face. If it weren't for the ferocious wound on his chest, I'm afraid everyone would think he was just asleep.

Seeing the Duke of St. Pros standing in front of the coffin for a long time without a word, Knight Muffat quickly and quietly winked at the guards in the hall, and then took the lead to retreat, leaving this place to the Duke of St. Pros and his son.

The howling cold wind continued to pour into the hall, and it also brought the sound of fighting in the distance.

Standing alone in front of the coffin, the Duke of Saint-Pros suddenly felt a burst of heart-wrenching sadness, as well as infinite remorse and self-blame.

Lose will know how to cherish.

Facing Vincent's body at this time, the Duke of St. Pros finally realized that Vincent was actually his best heir.

Looking at Evan's recent series of performances, is it really better than Vincent?

Not to mention the simple and unreliable Anna.

At least when Bailu City was in crisis, only the eldest son, Vincent, stayed here, helping him formulate strategies against the enemy, and even taking risks to his death...

The tumultuous remorse and hesitation bit the heart of the Duke of St. Pros like an ant.

If he hadn't listened to the slander and insisted on maintaining his eldest son's inheritance status, he would not have been seized by outsiders to stir up turmoil in the East, and he would not have lost his beloved son.

In grief, the Duke of St. Pros couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes.

In the blurred vision, the Duke of St. Pros seemed to notice that his son's body moved. He thought it was because of excessive grief that he had an illusion, but the next second, a sharp pain came from his chest.

The Duke of St. Pros suddenly opened his eyes wide, and saw his son who should have died staring at him!

And in his hand, he was holding a black dagger.

The dagger pierced the wall of the crystal coffin and inserted it into the chest of the Duke of St. Pros!
