The Original Vampire

After the funeral, everyone left the Holy Light Cathedral one after another.

The entire process was quiet, with no one talking, as if everyone were immersed in the grief caused by the death of Archon Lattom.

But Colin felt that everyone should be digesting the shocking news that Prince Leahy was the murderer and the possible impact of his conviction.

There is no doubt that imperial politics will undergo dramatic changes.

Emperor Reinhard will also truly take charge of the empire. At this time, many noble officials have begun to think about how to stand in the future.

There are also a few people who feel that there are still many strange things about this murder case.

But there is irrefutable evidence, and Prince Leahy’s statement, “I did not kill Lattom,” alone will certainly not exonerate him.

Colin knew, however, that before Lattom’s body was dissected, the Queen identified Prince Leahy as the murderer. This was certainly not a guess based on the motive of the murder, but she knew the real cause of Lattom’s death.

Therefore, Colin was sure that this was a premeditated frame-up.

But he couldn’t guess how the queen did this or what the sword mark on Lattom’s heart was.

After everyone left one after another, Colin and Vera also walked out of the church.

As soon as he went out, Colin saw a gorgeous carriage parked at the door. Looking at the bright flame emblem on the side of the carriage, he seemed to have some guesses in his mind.

Sure enough, a knight from the San Lorenzo family came over, bowed, and said, “Miss Vera, Viscount Angele, your Majesty invites you.”

  ”Okay.”

Colin took Vera’s hand and boarded the Got on the carriage.

The space inside the car is large, gorgeously decorated, and covered with a layer of cashmere carpet. There is a soft sofa in the back. Emperor Reinhard is leaning on it, and Queen Midela is sitting next to him, smiling. Look at the two people walking in.

There are benches on both sides of the car, with Prince Harrison and Princess Judy sitting on the bench on the right.

Vera and Colin quickly stepped forward to salute and greet.

Emperor Reinhard pointed to the bench on the left and said with a smile, “You two don’t have to be restrained; just sit down.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty!”

  ”Vera, how long have we not seen each other?”

  ”Your Majesty, I should. It’s been almost fifteen years.”

  ”Haha, that’s right!” Emperor Reinhardt said with a look of recollection on his face, “The last time I saw you, it was in Winter City. At that time, you were still a babbling mess. The little girl who ran away didn’t expect to grow up so big in the blink of an eye!”

  ”And they’re all married.” Queen Midela agreed with a smile, “It’s just that your wedding was so rushed, we didn’t even have any gifts. We have enough time to prepare.”

  ”Auntie, you are too polite. At that time… the situation in the north was too complicated, so the wedding was a little hasty. This is our fault.” “

  I don’t mean to blame you. However, the gift is now It’s not too late to make up for it.” Queen Midela said with a smile, and then lightly tapped the side wall twice.

  The car door opened again, and a serious-looking middle-aged knight walked in. He knelt on one knee and saluted the emperor and queen.

  Queen Midela pointed at the knight and said to Vera: “This is the gift I give you.”

  Before Vera could understand what it meant, Queen Midela said to the knight: “Knight Fermi, I order you to swear allegiance to Miss Vera.”

  ”Yes!” Knight Femi responded without hesitation, then turned to Vera, kept kneeling on one knee, pulled out the sword from his waist, raised it above his head, and shouted Said,

  ”I, Femi Stone, today offer my unparalleled loyalty to the great golden lion – Vera Saint Hilde!

  During my lifetime, your will will be my goal and your benefit. The sword points to where I am heading!

  I swear in the sacred name of the ancestors of the Stone family to be loyal to you forever!”

  Vera hesitated for a moment, then took the sword and tapped Knight Fermi’s shoulder. , said: “I accept your allegiance.”

  Queen Midra explained: “Knight Fermi was the dowry prepared by the Saint Hilde family for me when I married into the royal family. Now I will return him to Saint Hilde. Virtue can be regarded as a kind of inheritance.

  In addition, I am actually thinking about Knight Fermi. He is a knight in the north. Now he can definitely show his talents when he returns to his hometown. It is better than following me as a guard captain.”

  ” Auntie, please rest assured that I will properly place Fermi Knight and will not let his talent go to waste.” “

  Actually, I have a suggestion on how to place Fermi Knight.”

  ”Auntie, please tell me.”

  ” Before accompanying me to Yulong City, Knight Femi was the deputy commander of the Golden Lion Army. After so many years, he has always wanted to return to the army, so I hope you can give him such a Opportunity.”

  ”Okay, I will arrange for Knight Fermi to join the Golden Lion Army and serve as deputy commander again.” “

  I heard that the original commander of the Golden Lion Army, Knight Nelson, has died in battle.” Emperor Reinhardt Suddenly he asked.

  ”Yes.” Vera hesitated and did not tell the real cause of Knight Nelson’s death.

  When Colin heard this, he suddenly raised his head and had a bad feeling in his heart.

  Sure enough, Emperor Reinhard’s next words immediately made him clench his fists: “Since Knight Nelson unfortunately died in battle, let Knight Fermi take over the Golden Lion Army. I believe he must have the ability to command this army well.”

  Vera frowned and said hesitantly: “But, Your Majesty, I have appointed Knight Cambening as the commander of the Golden Lion Army…”

  Emperor Reinhardt smiled and said: “Really? But I remember , only the Duke of the North is qualified to appoint the commander of the Golden Lion Army, right?”

  Vera was stopped by the question and could only look at Colin for help.

Ke Lin sighed secretly, understanding that this was the emperor’s condition.

If Vera wants to inherit the position of Duke of the North, she must appoint Knight Femi as the commander of the Golden Lion Army.

  You don’t need to think about it to know that this Fermi Knight must be a pawn planted by the royal family in the north.

If he serves as the commander of the Golden Lion Army, it is uncertain who this army will listen to in the future.

  Haha, this gift from the Queen is really light on courtesy but heavy on affection!

  But Colin also knew very well that he could not refuse this offer.

  Queen Midela just said last night that Vera is not the lord of the North.

  Especially now that Prince Lehi has just been driven away and Emperor Reinhard has taken over all the power. Under such circumstances, if Vera wants to inherit the position of Duke of the North, she must obey the other party’s will.

  So, he had no choice but to nod slightly and give Vera an affirmative look, signaling her to agree first.

  Vera nodded and said: “Yes, Your Majesty! You are right, I am indeed not qualified to appoint the commander of the Golden Lion Legion, so Knight Cambening is currently only the temporary commander of the Legion.

  Since Knight Fermi is about to return to the North In this situation, I also think it would be more appropriate for him to serve as the commander of the Golden Lion Army.”

Emperor Reinhardt showed a satisfied smile, reciprocated the favor, and said, “I heard that your father left a will to appoint you as his first heir.”

  ”Yes.”

  ”Okay, in that case, then you can send the will to the Senate. When there is no objection there, I will canonize you.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty!”

Colin was relieved. After struggling for so long, Vera was finally going to get her wish and become the Duke of the North.

At this moment, Emperor Reinhard turned his eyes to Colin:

“Are you Viscount Angelet?”
