The Original Vampire

The light in the dining room was dim, and the cold wind that came in from nowhere was blowing the candles.

The unidentified firelight reflected on the faces of the two knights beside the long table, looking a little gloomy and depressing.

It took a long time for Colin to recover from Valla's words that did not play cards according to the routine.

He fixedly looked at his brother-in-law, as if to distinguish whether the other party was really telling the truth or not.

As if seeing Colin's disbelief, Valla explained again:

"Actually, I was as shocked as you when I first found out about it. And, until now, I've been afraid to tell Caitlin..."

"How did you find out about this?"

"I became suspicious after I came back from the battlefield.

As I just told you, I only remember being stabbed by a troll warrior, but when I woke up, I was already in Eaglefall.

What's going on in between, I've been trying to figure it out.

I asked my mother, but she told me that the people from the Tulip Chamber of Commerce saw me abandoned on the battlefield and rescued me.

But such an explanation obviously does not convince me.

So, I went to check the trade records of the Tulip Chamber of Commerce, where I found that a caravan had indeed returned to Eagle City from the front line during the period when I was injured.

This caravan should have brought me back, but the timing is so coincidental that it is hard to believe that this was not deliberately arranged..."

"So you suspect that there is a secret connection between Ms. Penny and the trolls?"

"Yes. Of course, it is also possible that I think too much. Mother, she may not betray the interests of the North. After all, the Tulip Chamber of Commerce has always been doing business between the Troll Empire and the North, and it is inevitable that it will have some connections with some troll executives. Maybe They really happened to pass by that battlefield and redeemed me."

Valla defended his mother, but judging from the expression on his face, I am afraid that even he himself did not believe such an explanation.

Colin sneered in his heart - your "mother" has a deeper connection to the troll than you think!

But on the surface,

He nodded in agreement, and then asked, "What about Knight Carter's assassination of me? Why do you think this was also ordered by your mother?"

The Valla Knight paused and seemed to hesitate, but after struggling for a moment, he still said:

"The caravan that brought me back from the front actually passed through the town of Greycastle. Moreover, the time was the day before your assassination."

"Oh?" Colin's eyes flashed slightly, "But that doesn't mean anything, does it?"

"I checked the ledger of the caravan, and it was recorded that a set of valuable enchanted armor was stolen, and the place of the theft was the town of Greycastle!"

At this time, Colin suddenly realized.

Where is this theft? It was clearly delivered to the Carter Knight as a commission for the assassination.

No wonder Valla suspects her mother is behind it.

"Then why do you think your mother sent someone to assassinate me?"

"It should be for the title of the Angele family." Knight Valla was a little afraid to face Colin's eyes, and the shame on his face was so strong that he seemed to cover his entire face.

"The baron died in the front line. If you die too, then Catelyn will become the first heir to the title of the Angele family, and I will also get a family business because of this, and I don't need to live in Eagle City. Been stared at all day.

Maybe this is what my mother planned...

I'm sorry Colin, I'm sorry you..."

The frankness of the Valla Knight made Colin a little unsure of how to deal with it.

Originally, he already had a perfect plan for this dinner party.

He was going to use the conclusion he deduced from the red-eye genetics to convince the Valla Knights that he was the true son of Earl Uman, thus provoking his resentment against Viscount Lawrence and planting an unstable bomb within the Uman family.

But who would have thought that things would turn out like this.

During the sudden change of heartbeat, Colin suddenly felt that he had to change his mind.

"Walla, my father doesn't care about your illegitimate child status, treats you like a parent, and also married your sister to you, but you failed to protect your father, let him die on the battlefield, and survive alone, such behavior. , can it be called the virtue of chivalry?"

Without waiting for Valla to speak, Colin continued to press the ground step by step and asked:

"Your mother even instructed an assassin to assassinate me in order to gain a family business for you. You want to get my forgiveness by simply saying 'I'm sorry'?"

Facing Colin's questioning, Valla blushed with shame.

I saw that he suddenly got up and left his seat, came to Ke Lin, knelt down on one knee, and at the same time placed the sword around his waist with his hands above his head, and said loudly:

"Viscount Angele, I deserve your trial!"

Colin raised his brows and sneered: "What? Valla, do you think that if you marry my sister, I will be reluctant to kill you?"

"No! My crime has nothing to do with Caitlin, and I don't expect you to forgive me in her face." Valla's face was firm, and the hands holding the sword did not tremble at all, "Actually, I learned what my mother did. At that time, I already understood that only one death can atone for my sins towards Baron Angele and you!"

Having said that, he raised his head, looked at Colin calmly, and said word by word, "Kolin, please grant me liberation!"

Colin stared blankly into the eyes of the Valla Knight, as if trying to tell how sincere the other party just said.

Valla's blue eyes are as calm and as deep as the windless sea.

After a long time, Colin slowly got up.

choke--

The long sword was unsheathed and touched the heart of the Valla Knight.

Colin exerted a little force, and the sharp point of the sword easily pierced the thin coat.

The bright red blood stained Valla's chest, but his eyes did not tremble in the slightest, and his body did not dodge in the slightest.

Colin narrowed his eyes and asked blankly, "Walla, do you have any last words?"

Valla's eyes finally wavered, and there was a hint of nostalgia in her tone: "Please take care of Caitlin and help her find a good man to remarry."

"She's my sister. I don't need you to tell me, I'll take good care of her."

Valla nodded, seemingly relieved at last, slowly closed her eyes, and quietly waited for death to come.

Colin hesitated for a moment, but still stabbed the long sword slowly into Valla's chest.

His speed is not fast, and it seems that he is deliberately controlling his strength, letting the long sword pierce into Valla's chest little by little.

During the whole process, Valla clenched her teeth in pain and trembled in a conditioned reflex, but she still had no intention of dodging.

It was not until the long sword completely penetrated his chest and emerged from behind that Valla slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the world with nostalgia, and said softly to Colin, "I'm sorry."

Then slowly fell to the ground.

Colin sighed and seemed to finally confirm the sincerity of the Valla Knight.

Having seen too many old yin b who will do anything for profit, Valla, a knight who is willing to atone for the justice in his heart, is like an outlier.

Looking at Valla, who had a long sword on the ground and was so angry, Colin sighed again,

Finally took a bite...
