The Original Vampire

It was already the end of summer, the weather was getting cooler and the sunshine was no longer harsh.

Colin led the Blood Cavalry all the way north and arrived at Winter City in only six days.

It was evening, and the towering Winter City looked even more solemn and solemn under the setting sun.

When Colin arrived under the city wall, he found that Vera was already standing in front of the suspension bridge to greet the man returning from afar.

She was wearing a purple lady’s dress, which highlighted her beautiful body curves without losing her dignity and elegance. The right amount of light makeup made her already beautiful face even more bright and attractive. Her beautiful eyes looking at Colin were filled with tenderness and sweetness.

Colin felt warm in his heart, and immediately got off his horse and strode up.

Although he wanted to hug the lovely girl in front of him, Colin suppressed this impulse and kneeled down on one knee to salute his lord in accordance with the proper aristocratic etiquette.

But he didn’t expect that Vera had already grabbed Colin before he knelt down and said affectionately, “Kelin, welcome home!”

Colin immediately stopped caring about the red tape and leaned over to kiss Wei. She pulled her smooth forehead and said with a smile: “My wife, you are extremely beautiful today!”

Vera smiled sweetly, then took Colin’s arm and walked into the city together.

“Hello, teacher!”

Prince Harrison and Princess Judy greeted them crisply inside the city gate.

Colin nodded to the two little guys and then helped Vera get into the carriage.

Surrounded by a group of guards, the carriage passed through half of the city and arrived at the Roaring Castle on the top of the mountain.

The servants had already prepared a sumptuous dinner to welcome Colin’s return.

Walking into the Knights Hall with Vera, the air was filled with the faint fragrance of roses.

Marquis Garcia, dressed in neat aristocratic attire, stood in the middle of the hall with his hands tied, nodding to Colin.

Compared with more than a month ago, Marquis Garcia is in much better spirits, and there is some blood on his face, but his body is still stooped, holding a cane in his hand, and his eyes are no longer sharp, as if he were the all-powerful North Realm Army God, which has completely disappeared.

Colin quickly bowed in return and exchanged a look with the other party, but said nothing more.

At this time, Bachelor Daun, Knight Cambellin, Bishop Emeritus and others also saluted and greeted Colin.

Master Joyce was also in the hall, but this young man was not very good at hiding his emotions and anger. He nodded perfunctorily to Colin, then puffed his cheeks and looked at the ground, as if he was reluctant to appear here.

Of course Colin would not pay attention to a little brat throwing a tantrum, and immediately invited everyone to sit down.

For such a formal dinner, everyone has their own seat. Colin and Vera sit side by side in the main seat. On their right are Marquis Garcia and Bishop Emeritus, on their left are Prince Harrison and Princess Judy, and below them is Joe. Ace, Master Daun, and knights from the Saint Hilde family.

Since Archbishop Adjani is still handling Bishop John’s funeral affairs in Swan City, the emeritus bishop in Winter City represents the church at the welcome dinner.

Colin looked around and didn’t see the former Imperial Minister of Agriculture who was abducted from Winter Spring Town, so he asked: “Why don’t you see Bachelor Sonny?”

Bachelor Dawn smiled slightly and said, “Master Sonny he said that he wanted to investigate the northern territory to prepare for the next agricultural reform, so he is not in Winter City now.”

Colin nodded, thinking that this Bachelor Sonny was really dedicated. He started investigating as soon as he arrived, so he didn’t Ignore him, smiled and let Vera announce the start of the banquet.

Vera immediately picked up the gold wine glass and said loudly, “Everyone, please drink this glass to the full. May the glory of the Lord of Glory protect us, and may the Saint Hilde family be prosperous forever!”

Everyone picked up the wine glasses and responded loudly. and.

Colin drained the champagne in his glass and said with a smile: “Everyone, please enjoy tonight’s food!”

Everyone cheered and then began to concentrate on the food on the table.

In this world, holding a family banquet is a very serious matter for a lord, and there is a very standardized etiquette.

During the meal, no one is allowed to talk until the main course is served and the plate is tapped with a knife and fork to indicate that it is full. Only then can one chat with other full people.

The whole process is quite dull, and the only fun is to see who eats more.

This is actually part of the etiquette. The more you eat, the more satisfied you are with the food arranged by the lord, and it can also show your strength and bravery.

The cooking skills of the St. Hilde family chefs are, of course top-notch. Charcoal-grilled alligator tail, white fungus oysters, steamed salmon, wine-roasted foie gras, cream salad…all kinds of delicacies filled the huge long table.

Amidst the clanging sounds of knives and forks, everyone tried to stuff all the food into their stomachs while maintaining etiquette.

The maids, like butterflies in flowers, kept changing clean plates and refilling drinks for everyone with light steps.

Although Colin did not need these ordinary foods to replenish energy, he looked at the people with high appetites and began to feast. The maid behind him had already changed the plates for him four times.

Seeing that the maid was preparing to change his plate for the fifth time, Colin finally tapped the plate to indicate that he was full.

Vera on the side had already finished eating. Seeing this, she smiled and said, “Kelin, you have a good appetite today.” ”

Yes, I still miss the food at home after being away from the North for so long.”

The emeritus bishop also said He knocked on the plate, put down his knife and fork, and asked: “Your Excellency, Viscount, I heard that Bishop John of Swan City was killed by Lucien?” ”

To be precise, he was murdered by Lucien in collusion with outsiders… …”

Next, Colin selectively told everyone what happened in Swan City.

Of course, he did not mention the “Duke St. Hilde” who had returned from the dead, but only used a “mysterious man” instead.

The fact that Mr. Jin borrowed a corpse to bring back the soul is too weird to explain clearly. Moreover, Colin and Mr. Jin have now reached a secret cooperation agreement, and he does not want to cause unnecessary trouble.

Even though Colin had hidden the weirdest part, everyone still looked shocked, obviously not expecting that the peak warrior, Count Schulz’s husband, would do such a thing.

“May the light of our Lord illuminate Bishop John and let his soul rest in peace!” After hearing this, the emeritus bishop looked complicated and lowered his head in prayer.

Seeing this scene, everyone bowed their heads and prayed to express their condolences.

Colin looked at the people praying devoutly with a complex expression, thinking, if they knew that the Lord of Glory could no longer hear their prayers and could no longer receive the power of their faith, would these people still remain pious?

After the prayer, everyone started chatting.

Seeing that everyone had finished their main meal, the butler directed the maids to serve desserts.

Colin and Vera shared various experiences from their trip to Dragon City, and the atmosphere gradually became soothing and harmonious.

However, Colin noticed that Joyce had been whispering in Princess Judy’s ear, making Judy giggle from time to time.

This made Colin’s expression change slightly. He was very curious. Did Joyce really have such a rapport with Princess Judy, or did he deliberately get close to the princess under the guidance of a caring person?

If it was the latter…

the candles on the long table gradually burned out, and the dinner came to an end.

Vera stood up and announced the end of the banquet, then took Colin’s hand and walked out.

However, at the door of the Knights Hall, Colin stopped and waited for Marquis Garcia to catch up. He smiled at Vera and said, “You go back first, and I will have a chat with the Marquis.”

“Okay.” Vera Wen Wan smiled and left immediately.

Marquis Garcia nodded to Colin and said, “Follow me to the study.”

“Okay’
