The Original Vampire
Trust (Part 2)
”Marquis Dawson, I have taken the liberty to come here. I am not disturbing your rest, right?”
As soon as he came in, Marquis Mainham greeted him with a smile.
Behind him, Count Anka also followed.
Marquis Dawson smiled as usual and said, “Of course not.”
After inviting the two to sit down, Marquis Dawson ordered his guards to bring tea. Then he was not in a hurry, quietly sipping the tea and waiting for Marquis Menham to your purpose.
Not long after, Marquis Menham took the initiative and said: “Marquis Dawson, you must also know that Anka has just returned from Winter City.”
Marquis Dawson glanced at Earl Anka and asked with a smile: ” I wonder how the mission went? Does the St. Hilde family agree to the peace talks?”
”The attitude of the St. Hilde family is worse than we imagined!” Marquis Menham sighed.
Count Anka intervened at the right time: “I discovered that the St. Hilde family has already known about Mr. Jin’s death. This is really beyond my expectations!
Moreover, this also makes the peace negotiations extremely difficult!”
The Marquis of Mainham looked gloomy and said coldly: “I guess someone from our side secretly passed the news to the city, otherwise the St. Hilde family would not have known about Mr. Jin’s death so quickly.”
Although the Marquis of Dawson was worried about it in his heart, His idiot son scolded him profusely, but on the surface, he remained calm at all, and even took the initiative to change the subject:
”So, the Saint Hilde family does not agree to peace talks?”
Of course, the Marquis of Mainham did not expect that this was what was happening in front of him. The good son of an ally leaked the secret and did not dwell on it. He shook his head and said,
”No. The St. Hilde family is willing to negotiate. However, it put forward an extremely excessive condition.”
Marquis Dawson’s heart moved and he immediately Thought of the information his son had just brought back, he asked with a smile:
”What conditions?”
Marquis Menham stared closely into Marquis Dawson’s eyes and said word by word: “The Saint Hilde family requires I will hand you over!”
Marquis Dawson’s expression changed, his eyes gradually became dangerous, and he said in a deep voice: “So, Marquis of Mainham, are you going to accept this condition?”
Marquis of Mainham was still watching closely. He looked into Marquis Dawson’s eyes but did not answer immediately.
Of course, Marquis Dawson stared back without giving an inch.
The two of them were like wild beasts meeting on a narrow road, engaging in eye contact before a battle of life and death.
The atmosphere in the camp gradually became stagnant, and the air seemed to be almost breathless.
Count Anka beside him suddenly became restless and broke out in cold sweat. At the same time, he was extremely puzzled by his father’s behavior –
why did he deliberately anger Marquis Dawson?
Or in the opponent’s camp?
Aren’t you afraid of being hacked to death by the angry Dawson family guards?
Just when Count Anka was about to collapse, Marquis Menham suddenly burst out laughing.
Immediately, Marquis Dawson also laughed.
The stagnant air resumed flowing at this moment as if everything just now was just an illusion.
Count Anka was a little confused, but he also breathed a sigh of relief.
”Marquis Dawson, do you think I will accept such a condition?” Marquis Maynham asked with a relaxed look.
Marquis Dawson was also smiling as if he was receiving his closest friend: “Of course not! The friendship between the Dawson family and the Maynham family has been passed down for thousands of years, and they are both the hope for the revival of the dwarf family!
How could we kill each other? ?”
”That’s right!” Marquis Menham clapped his hands and said loudly, “That Viscount Angelet thought that such an agreement could sow discord between us. He is really too naive!” “
Haha, since you are so candid, I won’t hide it anymore. I just received a letter from Archbishop Adjani. The letter is still trying to warn me that the Maynham family is preparing to betray the Dawson family! “
Oh?” Marquis Menham rolled his eyes and said with a smile, “It seems that Archbishop Adjani has a very good relationship with you, and he actually helped to inform the news.”
Marquis Dawson waved his hand and said, “Hey, I think so.” This woman has bad intentions. She probably just wants to use our Dawson family to do things for her.”
”Indeed!” Marquis Menham nodded, “I dare not get too close to that enchanting female priest for fear of being seduced by her. You made a very wise decision to avoid her!”
Count Anka finally came to his senses and immediately smiled and boasted: “Yes, humans are too cunning and cunning, we dwarves should still Unite and fight against foreign enemies!”
Marquis Menham nodded with a smile, fully agreeing with his son’s words. Then he saw the letter in Marquis Dawson’s hand out of the corner of his eye and asked, “This is what Adjani sent. A letter?”
”Yes. It’s full of the same old tricks, and you’re a little too young to deceive me.” Marquis Dawson frankly handed the letter to Marquis Menham and said, “You want to take a look. “Yes?”
”Okay.” Marquis Menham was not polite and took it immediately.
But then he frowned and asked: “Why are there so many corrections on it?”
Marquis Dawson said unconcernedly: “Oh, this is the original I received. Haha, maybe the archbishop is writing a letter I was a little confused about the words.”
Marquis Menham glanced at Marquis Dawson suspiciously but said nothing more, but carefully read the contents of the letter.
After a while, he raised his head again, returned the letter to Marquis Dawson, and said: “It seems that the situation in Winter City may not be stable.”
Marquis Dawson nodded and said: “Yes, in the Lion’s Roar Castle There must be some people who don’t want to see Vera inherit the title of Duke. Moreover, if the information given by Mr. Jin is correct, the Uman family also has a blood feud with the Angele family. The
potential resistance forces in the city must not be underestimated. Perhaps, we can Let’s make use of it.”
Marquis Menham rubbed his chin, seeming to be deep in thought, and nodded after a moment: “This is indeed a feasible method, but how do we contact the city?”
Marquis Dawson coughed slightly in embarrassment. The voice said: “I have a way to contact Archbishop Adjani, but I don’t think this person is trustworthy.”
Marquis Menham smiled casually and said: “Then there is no need to trust her. We and the church are using each other. That’s all, you just pretend to agree to the other party’s request first and see what arrangements she has for you.”
Marquis Dawson seemed to be interested. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said: “Okay, I can find a way to contact the city and see what kind of people are there. Can the forces that are dissatisfied with Vera be brought over?”
”Okay! I’ll thank you for the hard work!”
”You’re welcome!”
Marquis Mainham stood up immediately and said goodbye to Marquis Dawson.
The night outside the tent was dark, and there was no moon visible in the sky, only a few stars.
The Marquis of Mainham and his son walked quietly. After returning to their camp, the Marquis of Mainham suddenly asked,
”Do you think Marquis Dawson lied?”
”Huh?” Earl Anka was stunned. “Probably… no.”
”Haha.” Marquis Menham sneered and said, “Did you see that letter? It is full of traces of alteration. Marquis Dawson said it was always like this, but I think , I am afraid that after receiving the letter, he deliberately altered the important information!”
Earl Anka thought for a while, nodded, and said: “It is indeed possible…”
Marquis Menham added: “There is also the letter. Did you notice the handwriting?”
Earl Anka was suddenly embarrassed because he didn’t pay attention to the handwriting.
”Don’t you think it’s familiar?” Marquis Menham prompted.
Count Anka recalled it carefully, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration. He took out the peace agreement from his arms and said in surprise: “The handwriting on that letter is the same as the handwriting on this agreement!”
Marquis Menham nodded. He nodded and asked again: “I remember you said that Viscount Angelet wrote this agreement on the spot?”
”Yes! I saw it written by him with my own eyes!” Count Anka finally came to his senses, “So, then The letter was not written by Adjani to Marquis Dawson at all, but from Viscount Angelet!”
”Yes, Marquis Dawson must have lied.” Marquis Maynham looked gloomy and added, “Besides, this is… It’s not the first lie he told.”
”He also concealed other things?” Count Anka asked in surprise.
”Do you still remember how he reacted when I told him that someone in the camp leaked the news of Mr. Jin’s death to Winter City?”
Count Anka thought for a moment and said in shock: “He didn’t react. He changed the subject!”
”Yes.” Marquis Menham sneered, “Don’t you think it’s strange that he doesn’t care about something as important as a traitor in the camp?”
Count Anka immediately said. : “Unless he arranged this traitor!”
”Yes.” Marquis Menham sighed and suddenly stopped.
He looked back towards the direction of the Dawson family camp and said quietly:
”Frank Dawson, how do you expect me to trust you?”
