The Original Vampire

Palace Dinner (Part 2)

  Accompanied by the melodious melody, Colin put his arms around Queen Midela’s slender waist and danced on the gorgeously patterned carpet.

  Within the framework of court dance, the dancing men and women appear to be hugging each other, but in fact this is just an illusion caused by the perspective. Except for their arms, no other body parts of the two people are in contact.

  Only between lovers, or husbands and wives, will the abdomens be closely attached to each other.

  Of course, Colin would not be rude to Queen Midela, but unexpectedly, the queen took the initiative to stick to her.

  Feeling the softness and warmth on his lower abdomen, Colin’s mind remained calm.

  ”Judy has been learning to dance since she was a child, but she has a bad habit of stepping on her feet. This is not deliberately aimed at you. I hope you don’t take it to heart.” Queen Midela breathed into her ear and said softly.

  The lazy tone and moist breath constantly stirred Colin’s heart.

  ”It’s also an honor to be stepped on by a beautiful lady,” Colin responded with a smile.

  At the same time, he also remembered that Queen Midela had stepped on him at the dance in Silver Moon City.

  Well, it seems like a mother, like a daughter.

  I don’t know if she also thought of this matter, but a blush appeared on Queen Midela’s pretty face.

  Colin led Queen Midela in a quick spin. The purple dress bloomed like flowers, and the seductive scenery under the skirt flashed away.

  ”I heard that His Majesty is ill.”

  Colin suddenly said this, waking up Queen Midela, who was intoxicated by the melodious dance music.

  The queen’s eyes flashed; she glanced at Colin and said with a sweet smile, “Where did you get the news?”

  Colin did not speak; he would not expose a little girl.

  But judging from Queen Midela’s performance, this news should be true.

  No wonder Emperor Reinhard never showed up.

  Seeing that Colin was unwilling to disclose the source of the information, Queen Midela did not ask further questions and nodded: “Yes, His Majesty is indeed ill, but you don’t have to worry; he should be fine soon.

  In addition, I hope you don’t want to hear this news.” After all, rumors can easily cause unnecessary panic.”

  ”I understand.” Colin nodded and then asked, “What do you think of the heir to the Duke of the North?”

  Queen Midra’s face changed. He had to be serious and said softly:

  ”Don’t be anxious. Your Majesty and I both hope to see Vera inherit the position of Duke of the North. What’s more, you still have the will of the previous Duke of the North, so relax and wait for a while. When the time comes, I will naturally arrange for you to meet His Majesty.”

  Queen Midela’s comforting words not only made Colin feel relieved but also made him more aware that something was wrong with the current situation in the imperial capital.

  Moreover, he also noticed that the Queen said “wait for the time to come” instead of “wait for His Majesty to recover from the illness.”. This made Colin couldn’t help but wonder whether His Majesty the Emperor was not too ill to see guests now, but just that the timing is wrong and you don’t want to meet Vera?

  ”Your Majesty, of course I am willing to follow your arrangements.” Although he was full of doubts in his heart, Colin would definitely not question the Queen’s decision.

  After all, we are not in Winter City now, but in Dragon City. The Saint Hilde family does not have much power to rely on here, and Vera’s aunt Queen Midela is definitely the most important person.

  Of course, Colin would not completely trust this beautiful queen.

  She was Vera’s aunt, yes, but she was also Joyce’s aunt.

  Colin had no way of knowing which side her heart was on.

  Seeing that Colin was so obedient, the smile on Queen Midra’s face became brighter and brighter, and she spoke again:

  ”By the way, there is one more thing you should pay attention to.”

  ”Please tell me.”

  ”Don’t believe Sebas Saint-Hill Germany!”

  ”Huh?” Colin’s heart suddenly jumped, and he almost jumped to the wrong beat, but fortunately, he adjusted it in time.

  Sebas St. Hilde is Vera’s great-uncle and the consul of the Imperial Senate.

  There are five consuls in the Imperial Senate, each of whom is served by senators from the five major Paladin families.

  The five consuls take turns serving as presidents of the Senate every month and are responsible for presiding over the meetings of the Senate that month.

  Therefore, Lord Sebas is also an important figure in the Saint Hilde family in Yulong City.

  Originally, Colin and Vera were planning to visit this person tomorrow, but unexpectedly, Queen Midela reminded them not to trust him.

  How is this going?

  In terms of seniority, Sebas is Midela’s biological uncle.

  Is this a family fight?

  Colin was speechless for a while and quickly asked, “Your Highness, why is this?”

  Queen Midela remained silent.

  When Colin saw this, he couldn’t continue to ask questions.

  At the end of the song, Colin let go of Queen Midela’s slender hands and leaned down to salute.

  Queen Midela bowed her knee returned the favor with a smile, and said softly: “Believe me, the current Yulong City is a dangerous whirlpool. The best choice for you and Vera is to stay out of the matter and get involved rashly. It will only be difficult to escape.”

  Colin narrowed his eyes and said solemnly: “Her Royal Highness the Queen…”

  But Queen Mitra interrupted directly: “Don’t ask too much, don’t think too much, wait patiently for my news.”

  After saying this, Queen Mitra swayed lightly and floated away.

  Colin was left in a daze.

  ”Colin, what’s wrong with you?” Vera came over, took her husband’s arm, and asked doubtfully.

  ”I’ll tell you when I get back.” Colin patted Vera’s little hand but saw a familiar figure walking towards him.

  ”I didn’t expect to meet again so soon, Viscount Angelet!” Count Evan walked over to Colin with a smile, then saluted and greeted Vera, and introduced the female companion beside him to the Collins:

  ” This is Miss Salia, the legitimate daughter of Prince Lehi, and also my fiancée.”

  Colin raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Count Evan’s female companion.

  This Miss Salia is wearing a beige dress and has exquisite facial features, black hair and black eyes, and a gentle and charming temperament. She is the kind of woman who can especially inspire pity in men.

  But what really concerned Colin was the identity of the other party—the daughter of the Paladin!

  Moreover, Colin remembered that the Marquis of the East he had just released, who was the brother of Earl Avon, was only married to the daughter of a certain Earl in the East.

  It seems that the Duke of Saint-President really has the idea of ​​​​changing his heir.

  Thinking of what he had said to Marquis Vincent on the Nushui River, Colin suddenly felt that the East Territory would definitely be very lively in the future.

  Just when Colin was thinking about it, Earl Evan sent an invitation to Vera: “Beautiful Miss Vera, I wonder if I have the honor to dance with you?”

  Vera turned to look at Colin and saw him smiling. He nodded and handed his hand to Earl Avon.

  Seeing the two walking to the dance floor hand in hand, Shalia blinked her big crystal eyes, seeming to say to Colin, What are you waiting for?

  Colin also realized what he should do and quickly extended an invitation to Salia.

  After receiving the other party’s consent, Colin took the slender hand of the daughter of the Paladin and walked into the center of the dance floor again.

  ”Did you and Earl Evan just get engaged?” Colin put his arm around Salia’s waist and asked curiously.

  ”Yes, just a week ago.” Salia said softly, and then she stopped talking and concentrated on dancing.

  Generally speaking, in court dance, the man is the leader and the woman is the follower, but Colin discovered that this Shalia seemed to have a strange magical power that could, in turn, affect Colin’s dance steps and even guide the palace. The grace and elegance of the dance are performed to the extreme, which is a pleasure to watch.

  Even someone like Colin, who was not proficient in court dance, seemed to have become a dance master at this moment.

  Colin couldn’t help but be intoxicated by this feeling, and for a moment he forgot to continue to inquire whether Count Evan had other motives for coming to Dragon City at this time.

  Until the end of the song, Colin was still a little unfinished.

  Thunderous applause sounded immediately, and Colin came back to his senses.

  ”You are the most outstanding dancer I have ever seen!” Colin praised sincerely.

  ”Thank you!” Salia’s pretty face turned red as if she hadn’t recovered from the dance just now.

  ”Wow! Viscount Angelet! I’m a little jealous of you. Salia didn’t show such a tacit understanding when dancing with me!” Count Evan brought Vera back to the sidelines and exclaimed exaggeratedly.

  Vera also praised Colin excitedly, and at the same time, she did not forget to ask Salia for the secret of dancing.

  Colin casually said a few words of modesty, and then asked Earl Evan: “Has your wedding date with Miss Salia been set?” “

  At the end of this year, I will distribute the invitations. I hope you and Miss Vera can come and visit us.”

  ”Okay. If there are no special circumstances, we will definitely go to Bailu City to watch the ceremony,” Colin responded with a smile.

  Next, Colin and Vera did not enter the dance floor again but chatted casually with Count and Count Evan on the sidelines.

  It wasn’t until the night got darker that the guests left one after another.
