The Original Vampire

Under the rays of the setting sun, the majestic Lion’s Roar Castle looked even more desolate.

On an open-air balcony of the main castle, Colin was standing side by side with Vera, admiring the sunset.

Vera today wore a palace-style tube top and waist dress, revealing her round shoulders and slender neck. Her long golden hair was rolled up casually, and her white and smooth skin made people unable to help but have the urge to kiss.

The afterglow of the setting sun outlined her perfect profile, making Colin look a little lost in thought.

“What are you looking at?” Vera turned her head and smiled sweetly at her husband.

“I’m looking at the future Duke of the North!” Colin joked with a smile.

Vera rolled her eyes cutely, with a hint of worry in her tone: “There is still a rebellion in the north! What’s more, I don’t know if His Majesty the Emperor and the Senate will agree to my inheriting the position of Duke.”

Ke Lin was about to untie his wife when he heard footsteps coming from behind.

Immediately, Basti, the new butler of the St. Hilde family, came to the balcony and bowed to report:

“Miss, Viscount Angelet, the dwarf envoy has been brought.”

Vera turned around slowly and nodded. She said, “Okay, invite him to come over.”

Colin also turned around and saw a familiar dwarf walking in.

“Dear Miss Vera, Viscount Angelet, and Anka, son of the Marquis of Menem, I would like to extend my most sincere greetings to you!”

Colin heard the other party’s name and self-introduction and then remembered that he was there. I have seen this Earl of Anka in Ice Rock City.

He had just returned from the Troll Empire and met the dwarf count at the triumphal banquet. The other party also proposed to replace the territory of the Angelet family with part of the territory of the Menam family in the Scarlet Flame Territory.

“Count Anka, please sit down.” Vera returned the greeting and then invited the other party to sit down at the small round table on one side of the balcony.

The maid brought coffee and desserts at the right time.

Colin also sat down at the table, took a sip of coffee, and asked with a smile, “Count Anka, are you here because of the territory exchange?”

Earl Anka choked slightly and then spoke briefly. Dai shook his head in embarrassment and said: “No. Moreover, the matter of changing the territory is based on your own will. If you are not willing, our Menham family will certainly not force it.” Colin raised his eyebrows and expressed his

weak attitude towards Earl Anka. Somewhat surprised.

When he was in Ice Rock City, the dwarf earl was quite arrogant. One moment he said that he would never let the Angelet family suffer, and the other moment he said that the Menam family’s army was about to arrive in the north. He almost pressed Colin’s hand. Let him sign and agree.

There must be a reason for Earl Anka’s change of attitude now. Could it be that the dwarves feel that they cannot capture Winter City, and are they preparing for peace talks?

“Then why did you come to Winter City this time?”

Count Anka glanced at Vera and saw that she had been drinking coffee silently and nibbling on desserts. She seemed to have no interest in this conversation.

This attitude made Count Anka immediately understand that Viscount Angelet was the real master of Winter City.

“Miss Vera, Viscount Angelet, I came here this time to reach a peace agreement with you and bring an end to the chaos in the north.”

“Peace agreement?” Colin raised his eyebrows. He took a serious look at Count Anka.

The dwarves actually wanted to make peace.

Colin began to make calculations in his mind.

In fact, Colin was wavering between war and peace at this time.

The original plan given by Maester Daun was indeed a prudent one, but after the Running River severely weakened the Dawson family, and then harvested the Uman family’s army in Winter City, Colin already had the confidence to fight against the dwarf army.

Therefore, he wrote to Ice Rock City and asked the main force of the Black Cavalry Army and the Silver Moon Guards to come here.

But unexpectedly, just when he was gradually inclined to fight to the death with the dwarf, the dwarf suddenly gave up.

This made Colin feel as if he were punched in the air.

“Tell me about your conditions.” Colin decided to take a look at the situation first.

Earl Anka perked up and immediately spoke: “Your Majesty the Viscount, the Menam family has no intention of becoming an enemy of the St. Hilde family and is very willing to see a peaceful and stable northern territory!

Therefore, as long as you can agree to our independent establishment of a country upon request, the dwarf army outside the city will be withdrawn immediately!

The Saint Hilde family will also receive the eternal friendship and gratitude of the dwarves!”

Colin rubbed his chin. Of course, he would not be surprised by this condition. This group of dwarves followed. Isn’t it just for this goal that sir has been making trouble for so long?

But why did they voluntarily give up on the St. Xion family and start seeking cooperation with the St. Hilde family?

Colin immediately realized that something must have happened to the other camp.

Otherwise, the dwarves could not have just laid siege to the city without even making a tentative attack and then planned to negotiate peace.

“Do you want to establish an independent country in the north?”

“Yes.”

“Where is the scope of the territory?”

Count Anka was already prepared. After hearing this, he immediately took out a map from his arms, spread it on the table, and introduced:

” Miss Vera, Viscount Angelet, please see; this is the area of ​​the dwarf kingdom we are planning.

It includes the current territory of the Dawson family, as well as the territories of the Longba family and the Billy family…

Please rest assured that except for the Dawson family, the other northern lords have agreed to exchange territories with the Maynum family…” ”

Wait! Colin immediately interrupted Count Anka and asked, “Agree?” Who agreed that they would exchange territory with the Menam family? Earl Anka’s heart skipped a beat, and he said cautiously, “Viscount Angelet, these lords have all agreed, and we also obtained permission from Emperor Reinhardt.”

Colin was unmoved and said coldly, “What about the Saint Hilde family? ” Have you forgotten who is the master of the North?

Earl Anka smiled apologetically and said, “That’s why I came to Winter City because I wanted to get the approval of the Saint Hilde family. ” ”

When Vera heard this, she didn’t even raise her head. She seemed to have no interest in Count Anka’s proposal.

Colin placed the coffee cup heavily on the table and said in a bad tone: “Count Anka, your Menam family has just arrived. When I came to the north, I was prepared to take away such a large territory and establish an independent country. I am afraid I have never paid attention to the St. Hilde family. ”

The corner of Earl Anka’s mouth twitched slightly as if he were suppressing the anger in his heart, but he still forced a smile and defended:

“How could it be! The Menam family has always respected the Saint Hilde family, and the founding of the country was also approved by Emperor Reinhardt. Moreover, after the founding of the country, the Dwarf Kingdom will become the eternal partner of the Saint Hilde family! ”

“Partner? Colin smiled coldly. “But the Saint Hilde family doesn’t need partners like you. If you are a vassal, you can still consider it.” Otherwise, if you, the Menam family, swear allegiance to the Saint Hilde family, the North will accept you to settle here. ”

Earl Anka’s face also darkened, as if he had lost patience with Colin, so he turned to Vera and asked directly:

“Miss Vera, is this what you mean? ”

Vera then raised her head, looked at Count Anka calmly, and nodded seriously. “This is what I mean, and it is also the will of the Saint Hilde family! ”

Earl Anka was finally irritated. He immediately stood up and said loudly:

“I came with peaceful goodwill, but I didn’t expect that what I received was strong hostility!

Miss Vera, Viscount Angelet, I already understand what you mean. I will definitely tell my father and let him make the decision.

Thank you for your hospitality, and farewell! ”

After that, Earl Anka gave a perfunctory salute and then strode away.

Looking at the other person’s retreating back, Colin frowned and said to Vera beside him:

“I think the dwarves are afraid. Something happened; otherwise, they would not have come to negotiate peace with us so early, and their attitude was very low when they first came up. I deliberately provoked him several times before finally getting him angry. Vera

chuckled, patted Colin’s arm, and said with a smile, “I felt weird just now too.” Is this still a dwarf who is famous for his bad temper? I have tolerated you for so long.

It seems that the other party is really anxious to negotiate peace with us. ”

Ke Lin stretched his waist and said leisurely, “Whatever the enemy wants to do, we can’t let them succeed easily! So, don’t be in a hurry, let’s talk slowly.

If they really want to negotiate peace, they will come again.

Vera’s eyes flashed, and she thought for a moment and said, “I think the incident on the dwarf side may be related to the arcane fluctuation I noticed in the morning. ” ”

“oh? Colin’s heart moved. “Then do you understand what happened outside the city that time in the morning?”

“It’s too far away. I don’t know what it is.” Vera shook her head, but then she suggested, “Maybe you can ask the teacher.”

“Mage Cusius? ” “Ke Lin thought for a while, nodded and said,

“Okay, I’ll go see if he knows. ”
