The Original Vampire

The dinner at Phoenix Butterfly Castle ended at eight o'clock.

Back at the residence, Vera took off her high heels and said to her husband:

"Colin, Mrs Grace told me just now that Earl Morrison wanted to marry Cousin Nina and wanted my help."

Colin laughed out loud on the spot - he really let Maester Dawn guess.

The Morrison family really does not marry Saint Hilde!

Is this a perverted obsession, or a family tradition that cannot be abandoned, or... something else?

Colin didn't know this so-called Nina Saint Hilde, but a collateral woman, even if her surname was Saint Hilde, shouldn't be enough for a de facto earl to pursue her assiduously.

"How can you help? Now that the Duke of St. Hilde has just died, and the position of head of the family is vacant, Earl Morrison just wants to marry Cousin Nina, but he can't find anyone who is in charge."

Vera was sitting in front of the dresser at this time, removing the sapphire earrings, and said:

"Well, Mrs. Grace is also aware of this. She said that this matter is not in a hurry. After the rebellion in the North has subsided and the ownership of the Duke of the North has been settled, I will talk about the marriage of Earl Morrison."

Ke Lin watched Vera take off her long skirt, revealing her clenched waist and long round and slender legs, and said with a smile:

"Has Mrs. Grace told you about who will succeed the Duke of the North?"

It seemed that Colin's scorching gaze made Vera's face turn slightly red. She turned her head and glanced at the man, quickly changed into the silk pajamas, and shook her head:

"No. But shouldn't Joyce inherit the title of Duke?"

Colin looked at the ignorant wife, and suddenly realized that he should have a candid talk with her, otherwise she would not have thought that she could also win the title of Duke of the North.

"Joyce is not the Marquis of the North, how can he say 'should'?"

Vera was obviously stunned: "But according to the order of succession, Joyce is indeed at the top right now."

Colin untied his bow tie and threw it on the table, then walked to Vera, motioned her to take off his dress, and said:

"But Joyce was only ten years old after all,

Do you think it is appropriate for such a child to be the Lord of the North? "

While unbuttoning Colin's chest, Vera looked up into the man's eyes suspiciously: "Is there any problem? There is no minimum age limit for lords in the Lord's Law."

Colin shook his head: "I'm not questioning Joyce's inheritance qualifications, but worrying, is such an immature child really capable of dealing with the current chaos in the North?"

Hearing this, Vera couldn't help frowning, and the movements of her hands stopped, as if she felt that it was indeed inappropriate for her ten-year-old brother to undertake such an important task.

"Then... Who do you think can take on such an important task?" Vera's tone was a little trembling. Obviously, she also realized what Colin wanted to say.

"I think you can!" Colin said solemnly, looking at his wife with bright eyes, as if he wanted to pass on this firmness.

"I..." Vera's eyes were dodged, her hands tightly clutching her husband's shirt, and she said in an unconfident tone, "I... can I do it?"

"Of course!" Colin took Vera into his arms, kissed her lightly on her cold forehead, and said solemnly, "In my opinion, a qualified Lord of the North should be just and kind. , mercy, the virtues of tenacity, and you have them all!"

"I..." Vera pursed her lips and hesitated, "But I don't know how to manage the territory at all..."

"That's all secondary." Colin waved his hand with a confident look, "In terms of politics, you can ask the Master of Dawn for advice, he is very familiar with how to govern the northern border.

And on the military side..."

Colin gave a thumbs-up, gestured at himself, and said confidently: "You can completely trust your husband! Whether it's the East Territory or a troll, I can easily handle it. As for the traitor who is now entrenched in the North Territory The military forces are not to be feared at all!"

Seeing her husband's stinky appearance, Vera smiled, and the previous nervousness and fear subsided a lot.

She stretched out a hand and caressed Colin's chest, her fingers drew circles on Colin's chest, and said with bright eyes, "Yes! My husband is now the hero who killed the Troll Emperor with his own hands! "

Colin laughed, grabbed his wife's red lips, gave a deep French kiss, and then asked, "How is it? Are you confident to become the Lord of the North?"

Vera lay on Colin's chest and did not speak.

Seeing this, Colin said again, "If you don't take the initiative to take on this heavy responsibility, are you not afraid that Joyce's tender shoulders will be crushed by this heavy burden?

Think about it, can the mind of a ten-year-old child really be able to deal with the current situation in the North? "

Vera was silent for a while, and finally raised her head, the confusion in her eyes finally disappeared, replaced by the determination to sacrifice herself.

"Okay, if everyone thinks that I should inherit the title of Duke, then I will never refuse!"

Colin finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "This is what a real Saint Hilde should do!"

A blush appeared on Vera's face, and her tone became a little unconfident again:

"But I may not be able to inherit the title of Duke. Joyce's right of inheritance has priority over me, not to mention, this requires consultation with His Majesty the Emperor and the Senate."

"You don't have to worry about this." Colin said confidently.

Seeing Vera's doubtful eyes, he had no choice but to haha: "I believe that His Majesty the Emperor and the Imperial Senate will make the right choice. You are the leader the North really needs now."

"Colin, you overestimate me..." Vera stuck out her tongue, and then seemed to remember something, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she suggested, "You say, if Uncle Garcia comes to be the Duke of the North, Is it better?"

"Marquis Garcia?" Collin frowned immediately.

If there is no Vera card, then Colin will definitely consider Marquis Garcia.

However, how could Colin be willing to be only the son-in-law of a duke if he had the chance to become a duke's husband?

Although Marquis Garcia is indeed kind to Colin, Colin would rather redeem Marquis Garcia and offer food and drink.

Having just sent away a mountain that was over his head, Ke Lin didn't want to ask for trouble to get a new mountain.

"The Senate will not agree to let Marquis Garcia succeed the Duke of the North when the Duke of St. Hilde still has a son and a daughter to choose from.

What's more, the people of the north might find it difficult to accept a duke who was once a prisoner of the east.

No matter what brilliant achievements he has achieved before, the shame of Shadow Canyon... I am afraid that Marquis Garcia will be with him for a lifetime. "

Hearing Colin say this, Vera nodded in disappointment.

"Okay, don't think about it." Ke Lin pecked his wife's cheek lightly, "Just prepare yourself mentally for this important task. The rest, leave it to the emperor and the Senate to decide."

"Okay." Vera nodded obediently, and gave Colin a good night kiss.

The two immediately turned off the magic lamp and went to bed to rest.

The starry sky outside the window is thin, only a crescent moon hangs high on the treetops, casting a faint cold light.

After midnight, there were no more lit windows in Phoenix Butterfly Castle, and there was only a little light on the promenade and in the sentry pavilion.

The faint hooting of owls came from afar, making this quiet night even more peaceful.

"Vera? Vera?" Colin called a few times in his wife's ear. Seeing that she had fallen asleep, he quietly got up, put on his casual clothes, and jumped down from the window.

The air was filled with the fresh and elegant fragrance of tulip flowers, and there was a faint smell of blood.
