The Original Vampire

"Boom...boom..."

A round head rolled to the ground.

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

The whole place was silent.

No one would have imagined that a good knighthood ceremony would turn out to be like this.

The order of the Duke of St. Hilde was very abrupt.

However, Colin's execution was even more abrupt.

In fact, Colin had already anticipated the order of the Duke of St. Hilde.

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

Since the territory of the Suduo family has been granted to the Angele family, Colin will of course not 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 didn't have time to turn into fear.

"Do not!"

A shrill cry broke the silence on the field.

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

After Colin swung the sword, he immediately knelt down on one knee and made a pilgrimage to Duke Hilde, while holding the long sword in both hands and holding it above his head.

Colin completely ignored Cynthia who was rushing from behind.

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

"Why! Why! Lord Duke, why? Colin! I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you..."

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

The name of this sword is [Blade of Judgment].

I used it to decapitate the last Troll Emperor five years ago.

Now, it's for you.

I hope you take good care of it and live up to its name and the glory it represents. "

Colin was shocked, took back the long sword in his hand, and said loudly: "Thank you, Lord Duke for your reward! I swear here, the direction of your will is the direction of my sword!"

The Duke of St. Hilde nodded with satisfaction, indicating that Colin could retire.

Afterwards, the award ceremony continued.

However, the eyes of everyone present glanced in the direction of Colin intentionally or unintentionally.

If he was promoted to viscount, what Colin got would be at most some envious glances.

Now, when he was given the [Blade of Judgment] by the Duke, everyone looked at him with jealousy that could not be concealed.

No one would have imagined that the Duke of St. Hilde would think so highly of a newly promoted viscount like Colin!

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

...

When the last batch of new barons received the canonization one after another, the whole conferring ceremony finally came to an end.

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

And the people present were not surprised, they were all waiting with bated breath for something.

"Charles."

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

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

"I heard that you want to atone for the 200,000 soldiers who died in battle?" There was no joy or anger in the words of Duke Saint Hilde.

Marquis Charles lowered his head and choked: "Yes, father! I, I am sorry for your expectations, and even more for the trust of the people in the north and the 200,000 soldiers!

Therefore, I voluntarily relinquish the title of Marquis in order to atone for my wrongs! "

The Duke of St. Hilde did not speak,

He just stared at his eldest son with cold eyes.

Charles didn't look up, but he seemed to have understood what his father meant. He slowly took off his marquis ring, untied his sash, and finally took off the gown that symbolized his status as a marquis, folded it, and placed it in front of him.

"Please, Father, forgive my sins!"

Charles was prostrate on the ground, awaiting his father's trial.

After a long silence, Duke St. Hilde finally spoke:

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

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

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

"Yes, father..."

Charles knocked his head in despair and stumbled back.

The former first heir to the Lord of the North just left the stage sadly.

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

Although the Duke looked calm, those who knew him knew that the Duke must be full of anger at this time.

Anyone who is forced to abolish the heir he hand-picked will not feel good, let alone the Duke who speaks well in the North.

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

However, he could only grit his teeth and swallow.

The atmosphere in the hall gradually became solemn.

The ceremony is not over yet.

The Lord of the North can't be without an heir. Charles is deprived of his title, so naturally there must be someone to inherit the title of Marquis.

And this person...

Who is the one?

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

When he was hunting outside the city, Marquis Garcia had already told Colin about his transaction with Duke St. Hilde.

Therefore, he is very clear that the person who inherits the position of the marquis should be Vera unsurprisingly!

Although according to the law, Vera's succession order is after the other two sons of the duke, but if the duke insists on establishing Vera as the first heir, no one dares to object.

Oh no, the only one who dares and is qualified to oppose is Marquis Garcia.

However, Marquis Garcia is obviously impossible to object.

As for the Senate of Imperial Nobles.

Perhaps for ordinary nobles, they can have a strong binding force, but they dare not point fingers at the inheritance of the real nobles such as the Saint Hilde family.

Even if Vera's right of inheritance is not very reasonable, as long as Duke St. Hilde gives a passable reason, they will definitely recognize it with their noses pinched.

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 Duke St. Hilde and Marquis Garcia reach an agreement, there is nothing in the North that they cannot decide.

However, just when Colin was looking forward to Vera's name, another name popped up in the Duke's mouth:

"Adams."

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

what happened?

Shouldn't it be Vera?

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

"In the name of Duke St. Hilde, I now grant you the position of Marquis, I hope you live up to it..."

Colin was no longer interested in listening to what happened later, and he hurriedly looked in the direction of Marquis Garcia.

Then, he saw Marquis Garcia's icy gaze.

betray!

This is Chi LuoLuo's betrayal!

Marquis Garcia finally kept his loyalty to his brother under the temptation of many times.

But he didn't expect that now he was betrayed by his brother!

The nobles who didn't know anything were still congratulating Marquis Adams, and even the ignorant Vera was happy for her brother.

But only Colin quietly lowered his head.

The Chaos in the Northern Territory is probably far from over.
