The Original Vampire

  The night is already dark.

  Colin walked alone in the corridor of Swan Castle, occasionally passing by a few patrolling guards.

  Seeing Colin, the guards stopped and saluted, and Colin nodded absently.

  Having just returned from church, Colin was still thinking about the conversation he had with Prince Leahy in the confessional.

  Especially the news that Mr. Jin might still be alive made Colin feel an irresistible depression.

  But then, Colin shook his head and laughed, feeling that he was a little too unfounded.

  After all, it has not been confirmed whether Mr. Jin is still alive. Even if it is true, there is Prince Leahy in front of him. Colin does not have to worry about facing this terrible opponent.

  Thinking of this, Colin’s steps suddenly became much easier.

  The air also seemed to become sweeter.

  kindness?

  It doesn’t seem like it, but there is really a sweet fragrance permeating the air.

  Colin turned a corner curiously and saw the open-air balcony at the end of the corridor.

  On the balcony, a touching figure was standing there alone.

  It was Count Schulz.

  Tonight, the countess wore a simple corset dress without any jewelry on her body, but the dress was well-tailored and vividly outlined her slender and flexible body curves.

  In Colin’s view, Count Schulz is a mature, graceful, elegant, and charming model of a lady. She is dignified but not pretentious, beautiful but not frivolous and arrogant, and she always has a very friendly smile on her face.

  Even though he knew that the loyalty of the Schulz family was questionable, it was difficult for Colin to feel bad for such an outstanding countess.

  Probably hearing Colin’s footsteps, Earl Schulz turned his head and said with a smile: “Your Excellency, Viscount, have you gone for a walk?” “

  Yes, I couldn’t sleep, so I went to the church to reveal myself to our Lord. My heart feels much better.”

  Colin responded with a smile, then walked forward and stood side by side with Count Schulz.

  Swan Castle is built next to the lake. Looking out from the balcony, you can just see Swan Lake at night.

  The bright silver moon is reflected in the lake, ethereal and silent.

  ”Well, it would be better if some things were said out loud,” Count Schulz said pointedly.

  Colin nodded in response, but looked across the vast lake and found the faint light of fire on the other side—that should be where Vera and the others were camping.

  Count Schulz followed Colin’s gaze and seemed to understand something, so he spoke again: “Is the Duke expressing his dissatisfaction with the Schulz family by not wanting to enter Swan City?”

  Colin smiled lightly. He smiled and said, “My lord, do you think Duke St. Hilde can still trust the Schulz family now?”

  ”Yes. What the Schulz family did before is indeed chilling. But the target is only the previous Duke of St. Hilde. To this Duke of St. Hilde, I am willing to offer infinite loyalty!”

  Colin turned his head and looked at Count Schulz with a serious look.

  Count Schulz met Colin’s gaze without flinching, and the sincerity in his eyes did not seem to be fake.

  But of course, Colin will not be moved by a few frivolous words, and he has already met many politicians with outstanding acting skills. Who knows whether Count Schulz is one of the best?

  ”I will convey your words to Duke St. Hilde,” Colin said calmly.

  Count Schulz saw Colin’s perfunctory intention and said again, “You don’t believe me.”

  ”It’s just hard for me to trust someone who has betrayed the master.”

  A trace of sadness flashed in Count Schulz’s eyes as if Colin’s words hurt his heart, and he spoke again after a while: “Then do you know why I betrayed the previous Duke of Saint Hilde in Ice Rock City?”

  Colin was an eyewitness to that lord’s rebellion. Of course, I knew the situation.

  But from the look on Count Schulz’s face, it seemed that this man had another hidden motive.

  ”Is it not because of Marquis Charles’s disastrous defeat on the front line?”

  ”Not entirely.” Count Schulz shook his head slowly. “It’s also because of Marquis Garcia!”

  Colin’s expression changed, but he was not too surprised. After all, Garcia, the Marquis, also deliberately showed dissatisfaction with his brother in order to provoke the lords to rebel.

  But Count Schulz’s next words startled Colin: “Marquis Garcia is my lover.”

  ”Huh?” Colin looked at the beautiful countess next to him, and his heart suddenly ignited. The burning fire of gossip.

  ”At first, I thought that Garcia finally had the courage to resist his brother, so he joined the lord’s rebel army, but I didn’t expect… Haha, I still overestimated his courage!” Colin

  looked at Count Schulz, who was gritting his teeth. I didn’t know what to say for a moment.

  But in his opinion, I am afraid that the countess is a little too sentimental. Marquis Garcia is obviously more willing to cooperate with his brother in a wave of purges of the northern lords to consolidate the rule of the St. Hilde family.

  At that time, even Colin was taken hunting outside the city by Marquis Garcia, and thus escaped the whirlpool of rebellion, but Marquis Garcia did not notify Count Schulz. This shows that Count Schulz was under the influence of Marquis Garcia. It may not be that important in your heart.

  Count Schulz seemed to see through what Colin was thinking and immediately asked: “Do you think I have overestimated my position in Marquis Garcia’s heart?”

  Colin touched his nose and said helplessly, “That’s not the case. I don’t think Duke St. Hilde’s purge of the rebel lords later affected you. Maybe it was Marquis Garcia who helped you plead for mercy.”

  Count Schulz’s lips curled up. He gave a sarcastic smile and said, “Actually, you are not wrong to think that way. I’m afraid I really overestimated my status in Marquis Garcia’s heart.

  Twenty years ago, I even foolishly thought that he would marry me. Unexpectedly, Duke St. Hilde only asked him to give up the command of the Black Cavalry before he could marry me, so he hesitated. He also

  told me that he would wait until he conquered the Troll King’s City and then abandon the Black Cavalry to marry me. Haha, luckily I didn’t wait for him; otherwise, I don’t know how many years would have been wasted…”

  Colin looked a little surprised. He didn’t expect Marquis Garcia and Count Schulz actually reach the point of talking about marriage, but they did… Duke St. Hilde stopped him.

  Of course, Colin could also understand Duke St. Hilde’s conditions. After all, Marquis Garcia holds the strongest army in the North. If he gets help from the Schultz family, his power in the North will be too huge.

  At that time, Duke Saint Hilde had not yet been promoted to the Holy Realm, so it was natural for him to be wary of this.

  ”…Perhaps in the minds of people like Marquis Garcia, making achievements will always come before the love between children.” Count Schulz was still sighing.

  Colin remained silent, and it was difficult for him to comment on this.

  However, he suddenly felt that his father-in-law might still be hiding many secrets.

  ”Those things are in the past, and I have long since let go.” Count Schulz put a strand of hair behind his ear and changed the subject, “But there are some things that I have to care about.”

  Colin asked doubtfully. “What happened?”

  ”I gave birth to a daughter for him.”

  ”What?” Colin suspected that he heard wrongly.

  Count Schulz looked indifferent and nodded: “Yes, Vera is the daughter of Marquis Garcia and I. She was later adopted by the previous Duke of St. Hilde. So you should understand now why I just said Schultz The Ci family will not betray this generation of Duke St. Hilde, right?”

  Colin looked at Count Schulz in stunned silence, feeling a huge wave in his heart.

  what happened?

  Isn’t Vera’s biological mother Queen Midela?

  Immediately, Colin realized that he might have been tricked by the queen!

  What a mutual exchange of handles! What will definitely support Vera?

  It’s all the queen’s little tricks!

  She used this little trick to successfully win Colin’s trust, and she also forced him to hand over her handle in the name of exchange!

  Colin was a little lucky at this time. Fortunately, he didn’t hand over the really fatal information.

  Otherwise, he may have to be at the mercy of Queen Midela in the future!

  At this time, Prince Leahy’s advice came to mind “Be careful of the Queen, she is a dangerous woman.”
