The Original Vampire

  of events in the brightly lit restaurant, the only sound left was the sound of breathing.

  This sudden bad news caught everyone off guard. Their original dreams disappeared like bubbles, and the cold and cruel reality made everyone feel heavy.

  After a long while, Colin asked in a difficult tone, “How did Archon Lattom…die?”

  ”Died.” Archon Crete squeezed out four words through his teeth, his face full of expressions that could not be concealed. of fear and anger.

  Obviously, no one present believed this answer.

  How could Archon Lattom die at such a critical moment?

  It seems that Prince Leahy’s side has lost patience and actually took the most extreme measures to remove the biggest obstacle in front of the proposal to declare war.

  ”After Archon Lattom, who will be the rotating chairman?” Bachelor Daun asked in a deep voice.

  ”Imerson Saint-President,” Crete said solemnly.

  Colin’s heart also sank to the bottom.

  The surname is St. Pros. This consul obviously comes from the East and the direction of the East…

  Colin also met Earl Evan, the second son of the Duke of the East, and his fiancée at the palace banquet yesterday. This fiancée is the daughter of Prince Lehi.

  So even thinking about it with one’s buttocks, the Eastern Territory must have completely turned to Prince Leahy.

  And from the perspective of its own interests, the Eastern Territory is also the force that most hope to see the Empire declare war on Yeville. After all, Yeville itself is located at the junction of the Eastern Territory and Huiyue Forest. Its existence has always been rooted in the heart of the Eastern Territory. A thorn.

  Now that the empire is willing to send troops to wipe out Jewell, the Eastern Territory will definitely support it with both hands and feet.

  After the death of Consul Lattom, Consul Imogen took over as the rotating chairman of the Senate. Of course, he would not continue to delay and would definitely push for a vote on the proposal to declare war on Yevil as soon as possible.

  Under such circumstances, Vera had no time to put pressure on the northern elders to vote against the proposal, despite the orders of Archon Sebas.

  Moreover, the death of Consul Lathom will also shock the elders of the San Lorenzo family, and I am afraid that more people will turn to Prince Leahy as a result.

  Therefore, if the proposal to declare war is put to a vote in the Senate at this time, if nothing else happens, it will definitely receive an absolute majority of votes in favor.

  Thinking of this, Colin inevitably felt despair in his heart.

  Bang!

  The Cretan Archon slapped his hand heavily on the dining table. He could no longer suppress the anger and fear in his heart and growled, “He is breaking the rules of the game!”

  Indeed.

  It was too much to brazenly kill a Senate consul.

  As both a consul and a consul, Crete inevitably feels a sense of sadness at the death of a rabbit or a fox.

  He suddenly stood up and said angrily: “I will never condone this kind of desecration of the empire’s highest authority! No matter who did it, they must pay the price for it!”

The Cretan Consul’s face was ashen. His whole body could not help but tremble slightly, and he didn’t know whether it was because of anger or fear.

  But obviously, he didn’t want to let it go.

  Even though the perpetrator may be Prince Lehi, the consul from the Western Region, he is not willing to compromise.

  I saw him looking at Vera and Colin with bright eyes and said solemnly, “I will immediately contact the familiar elders and ask for a thorough investigation into the cause of Archon Lattom’s death!”

  After that, without waiting for a response, that’s it. He strode out of the restaurant in a hurry.

  Colin and Vera looked at each other for a while, then they could only sigh a few times, say goodbye to the housekeeper, and leave with heavy hearts.

  After boarding the carriage, the three of them fell silent, obviously thinking about how to solve the situation.

  The situation was already good, and Prince Lehi’s proposal could be prevented from passing the Senate, but no one expected that the paladin of the San Lorenzo family would directly choose to overturn the table.

  This is so unruly!

  Colin was secretly angry. He had always restrained himself and worked hard within the framework of this political game. But now, since someone is the first to destroy the game, don’t blame him for not following the rules!

  At this moment, Vera suddenly asked, “Colin, do you think the Cretan Archon can find out the real murderer of Archon Latom?”

  Colin sighed and said: “I don’t think there is much hope. Since Prince Lehi dared to kill someone, he would certainly not leave any traces. Therefore, even if everyone knew that he killed Lattom if no evidence could be produced, no one could do anything to him.” “That’s right. No one can do anything to Prince Leahy.” Bachelor Daun also agreed, but then he added solemnly, “But people’s hearts change without evidence. Prince Leahy’s move seems to have succeeded in making himself His proposal has a chance to pass the Senate, but he will lose more. It may not be obvious in a short time, but this wanton violation of the rules will one day bring him a fatal backlash! “

  Colin nodded silently.

  That’s right, Prince Leahy now relies on peerless force and can ignore the rules.

  But the Paladin is still a human being, not a god. He will one day grow old, and his strength will decline. The more unscrupulous he is now when his force can no longer deter everyone, he will be liquidated.

  Of course, this day is still very far away, and Colin must face the current thorny problems.

  Just as Colin was thinking hard about countermeasures, the carriage suddenly stopped.

  Bachelor Daun opened the curtain and was about to ask what happened when he heard the accompanying guard report: “Miss Vera, there is a mage blocking our way in front of us.” “

  Mage?”Vera heard the words and immediately got in. After getting out of the carriage, he saw an old man wearing a silver robe standing in the middle of the road, looking at him with a smile.

  ”Mr. Ernest!” Vera shouted in surprise and immediately prepared to greet him, but just after taking a few steps, she found that her hand was being held by Colin behind her.

  ”That’s the Speaker of the Yevil Master Council.” Vera turned around and explained, “Don’t worry, nothing will happen.” “

  Well, then be careful.” Colin then let go of his hand.

  However, he took a few steps forward, keeping a sprinting distance while also giving the other party enough privacy.

  Ernest chatted with Vera for about a quarter of an hour, then nodded to Colin, turned around, and disappeared into the night.

  ”What did he say to you?” Colin asked immediately after returning to the car.

  ”Lord Ernest heard about Prince Lehi’s desire to declare war on Jewell, so he wanted to meet with Emperor Reinhardt to seek a peaceful solution.” “

  Then why didn’t he use formal diplomatic channels? And I want to come to you?”

  ”He said that he had submitted his credentials but received no response at all, so he came to me, hoping to tell His Majesty the Emperor through me.” “

  What else did he say?”

  ”He said Jewell did not want to be an enemy of the empire, and what Mr. Jin did in the north was all personal behavior and did not get the consent of the Mages Council. The Mages Council would never tolerate the forbidden curse of sacrificing civilians to appear in the world again. “

  No more?”

  ”No more.”

  Colin shook his head slightly, a little disappointed with the speaker of the Mage Council.

  After submitting your credentials, Emperor Reinhard is unwilling to see you. Could it be that by sending a message through Vera, His Majesty will meet you?

  Moreover, what was said was completely unimportant. If Colin were Emperor Reinhardt, he would not be moved by these words.

  What’s more, the key figure in the current political situation in the imperial capital is not Emperor Reinhardt at all. Didn’t you see that the emperor was forced to pretend to be ill?

  Instead of going to Emperor Reinhardt, it would be better to go directly to Prince Leahy to discuss terms.

  Colin sighed secretly; it seems that Jewell can’t be relied on either!

  Not long after, the carriage arrived at the Phoenix Palace smoothly.

  Arriving in front of the side hall where he lived, Colin helped Vera get out of the car and then said goodbye to Bachelor Dawn.

  As soon as he entered the door, Colin smelled a familiar fragrance.

  When he raised his head, he saw Queen Midela leaning on the sofa and looking at them with a smile.

  ”Vera, Colin, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
