The Original Vampire

Night falls.

Hundreds of candles lit up the banquet hall of Fort Bailu like daylight.

Mighty and majestic armored guards stood motionless around the hall with long spears, and the slender and beautiful young maids brought plates of delicious food to the long dining table with light steps.

The well-dressed Duchess stood at the door of the banquet hall, welcoming the guests who came to the banquet with an impeccable smile.

Although the Duke of Saint-Pros had just died, it was inappropriate to hold such a large banquet in Bailu Fort, but who made the Duchess insist on doing this.

What's more, she had the right excuse - to welcome Prince Harrison and Princess Judy to Chateau Whitelou.

As for the teachers of the two royal guests who just killed the Duke of St. Pros, well, let's pretend it didn't happen.

Of course, many smart people also know that the death of the Duke of St. Pros may be a happy event for the Duchess——

Only in this way can she truly become the mistress of Fort White Lu, and even the entire Eastern Territory!

In the banquet hall, the long-sleeved duchess who danced well was already the focus of the crowd. One after another, the eastern nobles stepped forward one after another, expressing their allegiance to her either explicitly or implicitly.

The Duchess handled it gracefully and skillfully, but secretly, her mind was always on the door of the hall.

Seeing that the important people she was waiting for had not appeared, the Duchess got rid of the overly enthusiastic crowd, found the housekeeper and asked:

"What about the two Highnesses? And Count Angele, why haven't you arrived yet?"

"I'll take a look for myself."

Before the butler could take a few steps, he saw Knight Warren, the captain of the guards of Fort White, striding over.

The Duchess saw Knight Warren's face dignified and frowned slightly, and quickly asked, "Knight Warren, what's wrong?"

The Knight of Warren walked up to the Duchess and reported in a low voice:

"Madam, just now Count Angele was assassinated in his room!"

The Duchess choked her breath, trying not to let herself lose her composure, but before she could ask the situation clearly, she heard a voice beside her shouting:

"What? Earl Angelie was assassinated?"

In fact, Knight Warren deliberately lowered his voice before. It stands to reason that only the Duchess should hear it clearly, but he never expected that he would be heard by Count Nicole, who happened to pass by, and he shouted loudly.

This is good, the whole banquet seems to have pressed the mute button, and suddenly there is no sound.

The Duchess glared at Count Nicole, but she couldn't tell whether the exclamation was intentional or unintentional, and she didn't care to pursue it at this time.

She immediately stepped forward and whispered in the ear of Knight Warren:

"First, kill all the hundred guards who followed Colin Angele into the city!

Second, block all city gates and prohibit entry and exit!

Third, assemble the army and get ready, the blood cavalry... I'm afraid it's going to go crazy..."

Hearing the last sentence, Knight Warren couldn't help shivering, as if he had foreseen some terrible scene, but he also knew that the situation was urgent,

Can't bear to think about it anymore, he immediately nodded and said yes, and strode away.

At this time, all the guests in the banquet hall reacted and suddenly shouted:

"Duchess, has Earl Angeli really been killed?"

"Duchess, who actually assassinated Count Angele?"

"Duchess, will Bailu City fall into war again?"

...

Question after question shot like an arrow, but the Duchess smiled lightly, stretched out her hand, and said calmly:

"Dear guests, I'm sorry to disturb everyone's interest.

But don't worry, no matter what happens, the St. Pros family has the ability to handle it.

Now, please enjoy the food here, let me go and find out the details, and then I will explain to you in detail. "

After saying this, the Duchess ignored the inquiries of the people in the hall and walked out with great strides.

After going out, the smile on the Duchess's face faded instantly, and her expression changed from calm to anxious.

Count Angell is dead!

Although she also wished that this terrifying northern earl would die, he must not die in Bailu Castle!

Because once Count Angele dies here, no matter how the St. Pros family explains it, people in the entire empire will think that they assassinated Count Angele.

Not to mention that Count Angele was stabbed to death in Bailu City as a guest even when Emperor Reinhardt's war order successfully arrived in Bailu City, how would the royal family punish the Saint Pros family? The reaction after learning the news gave the Duchess a headache.

If the young Duke of the North is determined to seek revenge for his husband, the East will definitely face an extremely dire crisis.

And now that the orcs are about to invade, the royal family and the church are very likely to join forces to put pressure on the east in order to quell the anger in the north—

In this case, there must be enough people to be responsible for the death of Count Angele!

The Duchess discovers in despair that this person is most likely herself.

Even if she did not plan the assassination of Count Angele at all, but for the overall situation, she, the Archbishop of the Eastern Region and the Duchess of St. Pros, is very likely to be ruthlessly abandoned to appease the Northern Region.

Thinking of this, the Duchess immediately realized that this was a trap!

Well-designed traps for yourself!

The person who designed this trap obviously knew the current situation in the Eastern Territory very well, and immediately found the Achilles heel of the current order. With just a single blow, the stable situation that the Duchess had worked so hard to create was in danger of falling apart.

The Duchess only felt a chill in her heart.

But she quickly took a few more deep breaths and forced herself to calm down.

The enemy had made a move, and the Duchess knew she had no choice but to take it.

Now, what she wants to figure out most is who is behind the scenes.

And what will happen next?

While thinking about it, the Duchess has come to Colin's room.

The room was surrounded by the guards of the St. Pros family, and even Prince Harrison and Princess Judy were stopped outside.

"Duchess, why didn't you let us in? What happened to the teacher?"

"Your Highness, please forgive the rudeness of these guards. However, the situation inside is a bit complicated. I will explain it to you after I go to check it first."

After speaking, without waiting for Prince Harrison and Princess Judy to reply, the Duchess strode in.

Then, she saw Colin lying in a pool of blood.

Torn chest, vanished heart, blood all over the ground...

The Duchess knew without stepping forward to check that this person was completely helpless.
