The Original Vampire

　　 "咚......咚......"

　　 A round head rolled to the ground.

　　The spewing blood stained the marble floor with a gorgeous color.

　　 The audience is silent.

　　 No one thought that a good knighting ceremony would turn out to be like this.

　　 The orders of the Duke of St. Hilde are very abrupt.

　　 And, Colin's execution is even more abrupt.

　　 Actually, Colin had long anticipated the orders of the Duke of St. Hild.

　　Because, in the new fiefdom of the Anglia family, there is the name of Ice Rock City!

　　Since the Suduo family's territory has been sealed to the Anglia family, Colin certainly wouldn't be surprised, the Duke will settle accounts with Kahn Qiuhou at this time.

　　 But to outsiders, the Duke and Colin seemed to have negotiated.

　　 gave Kahn a surprise attack.

　　Even when Kahn’s head rolled to the ground, the confusion in his eyes could not be transformed into fear in the future.

"Do not!"

　　 A shrill shout broke the silence on the court.

　　 I saw Cynthia Suduo rushing up like crazy, as if to avenge her brother.

　　 After Colin swung his sword, he immediately knelt on one knee to make a pilgrimage to the Duke of Hilde, and at the same time held the long sword in his hands and raised it above his head.

　　 Colin completely ignored Cynthia who rushed over behind him.

　　 Sure enough, before Cynthia rushed behind Colin, she was stopped by a team of guards.

　　 "Why! Why! Lord Duke, why? Colin! I want to kill you, I want to kill you..."

　　 After the mad woman was taken out of the hall by the guards, the Duke of St. Hild smiled and said to Colin: "Very well, Knight Colin. I like your interpretation of loyalty.

　　 The name of this sword is [Judgement Blade].

　　 Five years ago, I used it to chop off the head of the last troll emperor.

　　 Now, it's for you.

　　 I hope you treat it well and don't let down its name and the glory it represents. "

　　 Colin's heart trembled, he retracted the long sword in his hand, and said loudly: "Thank you Lord Duke for the reward! I swear here that your will refers to the direction of my sword!"

　　 The Duke of St. Hild nodded in satisfaction, indicating that Colin could withdraw.

　　 After that, the nominating ceremony continued.

　　 However, the eyes of everyone present glanced at Colin's direction intentionally or unintentionally.

　　 If you say that you are promoted to Viscount, Colin will get it, at most some envy eyes.

　　 Now, when he was bestowed [Judgment Blade] by the Duke, everyone's eyes turned into jealousy that could not be concealed.

　　No one would have thought that the Duke of St. Hild valued such a newly promoted Viscount Colin so much!

　　Only the Marquis Garcia, who had been silent, frowned insignificantly as he looked at the long sword in Colin's hand.

　　……

　　 After the last batch of new barons accepted the canonization one after another, the whole nominating ceremony finally came to an end.

　　 However, the Duke of St. Hild did not seem to have the intention of ending the ceremony immediately.

　　 And everyone present was not surprised, they were all waiting for something with bated breath.

　　 "Charles."

　　 Finally, the Duke of St. Hild read the name of his eldest son.

　　 The Marquis Charles, who had been shrinking behind and pretending to be an invisible man, trembled slightly when he heard the words, and then walked to the center of the hall in the manner of a execution ground, and knelt down on one knee in front of his father.

　　 "I heard that you are going to make atonement for the 200,000 soldiers who died in the battle?" There was no joy or anger in the words of the Duke of St. Hilde.

　　 Charles Marquis lowered his head, choked and said: "Yes, father! I, I am sorry for your expectations, and I am sorry for the trust of the people in the north and the two hundred thousand soldiers!

　　 Therefore, I voluntarily gave up the position of Marquis to atone for my fault! "

　　 The Duke of St. Hild did not speak, but stared at his eldest son with cold eyes.

　　 Charles did not look up, but he seemed to understand what his father meant. He slowly took off his marquis ring and ribbon, and finally took off the dress that symbolized the status of a marquis, folded it, and placed it in front of him.

　　 "Please forgive me for my sins!"

　　 Charles is on the ground, waiting for his father's trial.

　　After a long silence, the Duke of St. Hild finally spoke:

　　 "Charles, from now on, the glory of the St. Hild family has nothing to do with you.

　　You will travel to the northern border as an ordinary soldier, fighting for life on the front line against the trolls.

　　 Until the day when the Troll King City was captured! "

　　 "Yes, father..."

　　 Charles knocked his head in despair and stumbled back.

　　 The former first heir to the Lord of the Northern Territory, left the scene sadly.

　　 The nobles who watched the ceremony continued to be silent, not daring to do anything at this time to attract the Duke's attention.

　　Although the Duke looked calm, everyone who knew him knew that the Duke must have been full of anger at this time.

　　 It would be uncomfortable for anyone to be forced to abolish the heir selected by himself, let alone the duke who speaks the best in the north.

　　 Obviously, this incident was a great challenge to his authority.

　　 But, he can only bite his teeth and swallow.

　　 The atmosphere in the hall gradually became serious.

　　 The ceremony is not over yet.

　　 The Lord of the Northern Territory cannot live without an heir. Charles was deprived of his title, so naturally there must be someone to inherit the title of Marquis.

　　 And this person...

who can that be?

　　 Colin quietly raised his head and glanced in the direction of Marquis Garcia.

　　 When he was hunting outside the city, the Marquis of Garcia had already told Colin about his original deal with the Duke of St. Hild.

　　 Therefore, he knew very well that the person who inherited this marquis position should not be unexpectedly Vera!

　　 Although legally speaking, Vera's inheritance order should be placed after the other two sons of the Duke, but if the Duke insists on making Vera the first heir, no one dares to object.

　　 Oh no, the only person present who dared and qualified to oppose was the Marquis Garcia.

　　 However, the Marquis Garcia is obviously impossible to object.

　　 As for the Imperial Senate.

　　Perhaps for ordinary nobles ~ www.NovelMTL.com~ they can have a strong binding force, but they dare not point fingers at the inheritance rights of the real nobles like the St. Hild family.

　　 Even if Vera's inheritance right is not legitimate, as long as the Duke of St. Hilde gives a clear reason, then they must pinch their noses to admit it.

　　 This kind of reason is easy to find. For example, the second son is too weak and the third son is too young...

　　 In short, when the Duke of St. Hild and the Marquis of Garcia reached an agreement, there was nothing in the north that they could not decide.

　　 However, just as Colin was expecting Vera’s name, another name came up from the Duke’s mouth:

"Adams."

　　 Colin suddenly raised his head and looked at the figure in the middle of the hall in shock.

what happened?

　　 shouldn't it be Vera?

　　 After hearing his father's call, Adams St. Hild, the second son of the Duke, resisted the ecstasy in his heart, strode forward, came to the Duke, and knelt down on one knee.

　　 "In the name of the Duke of St. Hild, I now grant you the rank of Marquis. I hope you will live up to it..."

　　 Colin was no longer interested in listening to the following words, he quickly looked in the direction of Marquis Garcia.

　　 Then, he saw the cold eyes of Marquis Garcia.

betray!

　　 This is Chi Luo Luo's betrayal!

　　 Faced with many temptations, the Marquis of Garcia finally kept his loyalty to his brother.

　　 But unexpectedly, now he is betrayed by his brother!

　　 The nobles who don’t know anything are still celebrating the Marquis Adams, and even the ignorant Vera is happy for her brother.

　　 But only Colin lowered his head quietly.

　　 The Northern Rebellion is far from over.
