The Original Vampire

  Back in the room, Colin took a shower and prepared to rest.

  However, I couldn’t fall asleep while I was lying on the bed, tossing and turning. My mind kept thinking about the secrets that Count Schulz had just revealed to me.

  Suddenly, Colin realized a problem.

  When Queen Midela claimed to be Vera’s mother, she also revealed another secret: she poisoned Marquis Adams!

  If Queen Midela was not Vera’s biological mother, why did she poison Adams when Duke St. Hilde broke his promise and did not give Vera the title of Marquis of the North?

  Well, if this is also a lie told by Queen Midra, what about the will left by Duke St. Hilde?

  Before his death, Count Uman said that someone forced Duke Saint Hilde to make this will, and this person was most likely Queen Midela.

  Moreover, when she was in Yulong City, Queen Midela had indeed been helping Vera successfully inherit the position of Duke of the North. If it wasn’t because Vera was her daughter, then why?

  What Queen Midra said might be false, but what she did was always true.

  Based on these, Colin could not deny her special care for Vera.

  As for Count Schulz…

  On the contrary, Count Schultz seems to have only verbal claims but no proof of actions.

  However, Colin also felt that Count Schulz was unlikely to lie.

  After all, if she were not Vera’s biological mother, first of all, as an outsider, it would be impossible for her to know who Vera’s biological father was. Moreover, her lies would be exposed by Marquis Garcia immediately. After all, she was already preparing to openly communicate with Vera. The mother-daughter relationship…

  wait!

  Colin immediately sat up straight in bed.

  Count Schulz wants to make his mother-daughter relationship with Vera public!

  Colin suddenly realized that once Count Schulz recognized Vera in public and confirmed their mother-daughter relationship, even if she was lying, Marquis Garcia would not dare to refute it publicly.

  Because the relationship between Queen Midela and Vera is not visible to the public!

  The Glorious Empire will never accept a queen who is incestuous with her brother.

  The reputation of the St. Hilde family will also suffer a huge blow.

  Therefore, Count Schulz would be confident if he lied!

  However, there is only one problem with this hypothesis: how did Count Schulz know that Marquis Garcia was Vera’s biological father?

  Moreover, judging from her fearless look, she should also know that Vera’s real biological mother is Queen Midela!

  Not even Marquis Garcia told Colin this secret.

  Who lied?

  Queen Midela? Or Count Schulz?

  This question lingered in Colin’s mind, and he could no longer sleep peacefully.

  Since he couldn’t sleep, Colin simply climbed out of bed.

  Putting on a coat, Colin walked out of the room.

  It was dark at night, and Swan Castle was quiet. Only the faint hoot of an owl could be heard coming from nowhere.

  Colin walked along the dim corridor, thinking about whether he should take Vera into the city tomorrow.

  If Count Schulz is lying, then once Vera enters the city and the two recognize each other in public, even if Count Schulz is not Vera’s biological mother, he must be her.

  Because Marquis Garcia did not dare to refute it publicly, and as for Queen Midela, she even dared not admit it.

  Thinking of this, Colin suddenly felt that he could not take Vera into the city.

  At least ask Marquis Garcia first.

  If Count Schultz is really Vera’s biological mother, Colin can take her to Winter City to meet Vera; there is no need to rush.

  After making the decision, Colin felt much more relaxed.

  Just when he was about to return to his room to rest, he smelled the vague smell of blood again!

  Colin’s eyes shrank!

  Because he discovered that the smell of blood was exactly the same as what he smelled in the confessional of the Glory Church in Swan City not long ago!

  Following this smell, Colin quickened his pace.

  Not long after, he found that he was back on the open-air balcony, where he had just talked with Count Schulz!

  The cold moonlight shone on Colin’s face, reflecting his uncertain expression.

  Colin looked at the dark lake outside the balcony, which looked like the giant mouth of an abyss, with a sneer on his lips.

  Count Schulz, it seems that you are really not a kind person!

  …

  On the early morning of the second day, just after dawn, several maids who were fetching water by the lake saw Colin and his entourage returning to the camp on horseback.

  ”Good morning, Lord Viscount!”

  ”Good morning, has the Duke woke up yet?”

  ”Not yet.”

  Colin nodded to the maids, then entered the camp and went straight to Vera’s tent.

  The new Duke of the North was indeed still sleeping soundly. Colin leaned down and kissed her gently on her fair and smooth forehead.

  Vera’s long eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she opened her eyes in a daze. Seeing it was Colin, she hummed softly, hugged his arm as a pillow, and said softly: “

  Kelin, why are you like this?” Have you come back a long time ago?”

  Colin stretched out his hand to comb Vera’s silky hair, and said warmly: “I’m here to say goodbye to you, and I’ll go back to Swan City later.”

  Vera sat up straight and put her arms around Collin’s neck asking, “Bishop John hasn’t been found yet, has he?”

  ”Not yet, and I also found some interesting things here that require further investigation, so you should go back to Winter City first.”

  ”Okay.” Vera was a little reluctant, stepped forward, and gave Colin a deep kiss.

  After some tenderness, Colin took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Vera, and at the same time warned: “After returning to Winter City, help me hand this letter to Marquis Garcia, and ask him to immediately write me a reply; do you understand?”

  Seeing Colin’s serious expression, Vera put away her original laziness and nodded seriously: “I understand.”

  ”Okay, I’ll go then. Remember to help me follow the two. Say goodbye to this little guy.”

  ”Well, be careful.”

  …

  Outside Swan City, the Schulz family’s honor guard once again formed the neatest formation, showing the highest spirit and energy, preparing to welcome the upcoming event. Distinguished guest.

  Count Schulz and Lucien stood at the front of the team, hand in hand, with perfect smiles on their faces, watching the team approach from the other side of the river.

  But not long after, the smile on Lucien’s face froze. He narrowed his eyes and said in a serious voice, “No! That’s not the Duke of the North’s car. There are too few people!” “

  What?”Shu Earl Ertz also quickly looked at it carefully, and then he also discovered something was wrong.

  Her heart sank, and she kept thinking about which step had gone wrong.

  Soon, Colin arrived at the foot of Swan City.

  He immediately got off his horse and said with a sincere face, “I’m so sorry, Count Schulz! The Duke’s motorcade has already set off. I was a step late and didn’t catch up.”

  Count Schulz took a deep breath and suppressed his heart. With roiling anger and vague fear, he tried to look slightly disappointed, but not too much, and said:

  ”It doesn’t matter, it seems that Swan City is destined not to enjoy this glory.”

  Colin watched Shure carefully. The expression on Count Schulz’s face suddenly laughed and he said:

  ”Count Schulz, you’d better go to Winter City to meet the Duke in person!”

  ”As it should be.” Count Schulz regained his composure again, that elegant and noble man. The countess appears again.

  Colin turned to look at Lucien, who was expressionless, and said with a smile, “Your Excellency Lucien, how about we search Swan City together again to see if we can find out the whereabouts of Bishop John?”

  Lucien said calmly. He smiled and said, “What an honor!”
