The Original Vampire

Bang!

There is another coffin in the meeting hall of Lion’s Roar Castle.

The guard carrying the coffin reported loudly, “Master Joyce, we found this body in the room of Butler Drinden.”

After Viscount Walras stepped forward to check it out, he said in a sad voice, “Yes, it is indeed my father’s body!”

“A frame-up! This is a frame-up!” Joyce screamed, her little face full of anger and fear. “You framed it for the housekeeper!”

Looking at Joey, who had lost his composure, Colin smiled slightly and said, “Master Joyce, you can’t slander an upright knight out of thin air.”

Knight Louis also immediately stood up and questioned, “If it is true that Steward Drinden conspired to kill Count Uman, why did you hide the other party’s body in your room?”

Colin seemed to have been prepared and explained calmly, “Because he wanted to find something from Count Uman.”

“What is it?”

” Duke St. Hilde’s will!”

  ”Will?!”

For a moment, everyone screamed in surprise.

Knight Louis also looked at Colin in surprise and uncertainty, with various thoughts flashing through his mind, and for a moment he did not dare to speak anymore.

“Duke St. Hilde once left a will?” Adjani seemed to know the existence of this will for the first time, staring at Colin unblinkingly.

“Of course.” Colin pointed to Viscount Valla, motioning for him to explain.

Viscount Walras immediately took out a roll of parchment and said in a deep voice:

“I just found this will in my father’s room. It was this will that caused my father to be brutally murdered!”

As he said this, Viscount Walras said he handed the will into Adjani’s hands and said respectfully, “Your Majesty the Archbishop, please come and read out the Duke’s will.”

Adjani took the parchment, looking calm on the surface, but in fact, she was already stirred up in her heart.

Even though she hadn’t read the contents of the will, she could already guess what was written in it.

Looking at how confident Colin and Valla are, this will surely make Vera the heir!

  Moreover, Colin and Varla’s singing performance just now also made Adjani realize a cruel fact:

The Uman family has already sided with Vera!

This is the most deadly!

The defection of the Uman family means that the Joyce family has completely lost control of Winter City.

There is also a Golden Lion Legion loyal to Vera outside the city. Under such circumstances, even if the city defense army is still in the hands of Joyce’s family, they can no longer make any waves.

That’s why Colin dared to kill Butler Delinden in public and frame him with impunity.

Once you have absolute strength, you also have the right to speak.

Just like if a country holds a tube of washing powder, it can be said that another country has weapons of mass destruction.

What matters is not the authenticity of the evidence, but whether you have the strength to silence the doubters.

Now, Colin has such strength.

Adjani felt heavy and knew that she had to make a new choice.

I saw her slowly unfolding the parchment, and under the expectant eyes of everyone, she lightly opened her red lips and read aloud:

  ”I, Seris Saint Hilde, in the name of the seventeenth Duke of the North, canonize Wei La St. Hilde as the Marquis of the North. After my death, she will inherit the position of Duke of the North, take charge of the authority of the North, and inherit the glory of St. Hilde.” “

  Impossible! This is impossible!”Joyce’s sharp and childish voice sounded again.

There is no longer the arrogance of a successful young man; it is replaced by endless fear and anger.

“I don’t believe it! I am my father’s first heir! How could my father let Vera inherit the title of Duke? Show me, show me!”

Joyce stretched out her trembling hand and asked to see the will with her own eyes.

But Adjani ignored his request and said lightly, “This is indeed the handwriting of Duke St. Hilde, and there is nothing wrong with the badge.”

This represents the church’s recognition of the validity of this will!

Colin smiled slightly. This beautiful archbishop was very skilled in adapting to the changing circumstances.

However, the other party’s knowledge of current affairs also saved him a lot of trouble.

“Give it to me; I want to see it!” Joyce still shouted reluctantly.

However, Adjani seemed not to hear his request at all and put the will back in the hands of Viscount Valla.

Viscount Valla ignored Joyce and kept the will close to his body.

Joyce was completely ignored.

“You…” The little boy’s face turned red, his body began to tremble, and his eyes were full of unbelievable fear.

This young child experienced the bitterness of a harsh world prematurely.

But at this time, everyone present had no time to care about the mental health problems of a little kid, especially after the little kid lost the aura of being the duke’s heir.

Vice Valla continued to explain: “Father once told me that when he arrived in Winter City three days ago, Butler Drinden came to him and showed him the will.

However, when the butler took out this will, he did not intend to abide by it but wanted to completely destroy it and support Master Joyce in ascending to power!

Therefore, the father pretended to help the housekeeper destroy the will, but in fact, he secretly hid the real will.

Louis Chevalier was present at the time and can testify. “

Everyone’s eyes instantly focused on Knight Louis.

At this time, Louis also understood that the situation was over. The rebellion of the Uman family had made Joyce’s succession impossible.

What’s more, the will had not been destroyed.

At this moment, Knight Louis even doubted whether Count Uman had been playing Infernal Affairs.

Did the Uman family always support Vera?

Was he being fooled from beginning to end?

Knight Louis fell into deep panic and confusion. Facing Valla’s question at this time, he hesitated for a moment and had to nod, admitting the authenticity of the matter.

After receiving the approval of Knight Louis, Viscount Valla became more confident and continued:

“Father saw that The Duke had already decided to support Miss Vera when he made his will. However, at that time, Butler Derinden insisted on supporting Master Joyce to the throne. He also claimed that he had united all the forces in the city and forced his father to join them.

In desperation, my father had to pretend to agree.

But when Viscount Angelet entered the city on behalf of Miss Vera, his father immediately formed an alliance with him and wanted to lead the family army out of the city to fight against the rebels with the Golden Lion Army!

  However, such behavior was regarded as a betrayal by Steward Drinden, so he secretly contacted the dwarf and arranged for an assassin to brutally kill his father.

After killing his father, Drinden wanted to find the will in his father’s body, so he asked the assassin to leave his father’s body and leave the Roaring Castle with only his father’s head to return to his life.

But what they didn’t know was that their father had been hiding the will in his room. “

After listening to Viscount Valla’s story, everyone present fell into silence for a while.

It seems that everything about Count Uman’s death has a reasonable explanation, but whether this explanation is the truth is actually not that important…

They all understood that the story Viscount Valla just told was just a high-sounding excuse. What really worked was the crushing military strength of Vera’s family.

Therefore, when Viscount Valla decided to turn to Vera, the situation in Winter City was already doomed.

Steward Drinden must be a traitor, not because of the “truth” that Viscount Valla just told, but because of the Uman family’s army and the Golden Lion Army outside the city.

Colin coughed lightly and said righteously, “Delinden colluded with the rebels and murdered Count Uman, and he deserves to be punished!

Do you have any other opinions? “

His eyes swept across the faces of everyone present.

  Joyce had long been stunned by such a huge blow. He seemed to have lost his soul, and he stood there motionless.

Knight Louis had long been low. At this moment, he was only thinking about how to save his life.

Knight Chester had always been neutral and remained silent at this moment.

As for Archbishop Adjani, after catching Colin’s gaze, she smiled brightly and nodded. :

  ”Dlinden indeed deserves his punishment, Viscount Angelet; I fully agree with your actions! Colin

  also smiled with satisfaction: “It is an honor for me to be recognized by the Archbishop. However, I still hope that you can find someone to repair the church and prevent the tragedy of Thomas Knight from happening again. “

  The meaning of this is that Thomas was indeed killed by the collapsed church, which is Colin’s reward for Adjani’s change of stance.

Adjani also heard what Colin meant, and the smile on her face suddenly became brighter. Get up.

Colin’s reciprocal behavior made her understand that this was someone willing to cooperate.

In this case, it is not unacceptable for Wei to take the position of Duke.

“Don’t worry, Viscount Angelet, we will definitely work together again.” Strengthen the church to prevent similar accidents from happening again.

Now, let’s welcome Miss Vera into Winter City as soon as possible.

  ”As you wish! ”
