The Original Vampire

As expected by Colin, the dwarves sent messengers into Winter City again the next day.

It was an old acquaintance who came - Count Anka.

Both times, people from the Maynum family came to Winter City to negotiate, which is enough to see that in the dwarf army at this time, Marquis Dawson has been marginalized.

This time Vera and Colin met Count Anka in the conservatory.

Of course, it was Colin who actually led the negotiation, and Vera was concentrating on playing with the blood rose that she had just planted recently.

"Viscount Angele, I have conveyed Miss Vera and your message to my father. Father can also understand your concerns.

However, please believe that our dwarves have no intention of being an enemy of the Saint Hilde family.

However, our will to establish an independent state is equally firm!

In order to make up for the loss in the north, my father is willing to cede part of the territory..."

Having said that, Count Anka took out a marked map of the North and showed it to Colin.

"Starting from the running river, to the area of ​​Poplar Forest, we are willing to unconditionally transfer it to the Saint Hilde family.

In addition, the kingdom of dwarves will sign an alliance treaty with the north. As long as the Duke of Saint Hilde lives, the dwarves will send troops to assist!

Moreover, the Maynum family will hand over 1.5 million gold coins to the Saint Hilde family every year!

Viscount Angele, this is the tax that a normal marquis pays to the monarch every year.

Therefore, in addition to not swearing allegiance to the Saint Hilde family, the Maynum family has basically fulfilled the obligations of a northern vassal.

You can even think that the kingdom of dwarves is still part of the north, and we dwarves are still the people of the north! "

Colin rubbed his chin, lost in thought.

It has to be said that the Maynum family has indeed made great concessions in order to reach a settlement with the Saint Hilde family.

However, Colin was still not satisfied.

Whether it is a so-called alliance agreement or an annual offering,

Even the ceded territory cannot change the fact that the dwarves want to split the north!

As long as the dwarf king does not swear allegiance to the Duke of Saint Hilde, then the Saint Hilde family has no binding force on the dwarves, and the dwarf kingdom will remain a separatist force.

"These conditions are not enough." Colin shook his head indifferently.

Earl Anka pursed his lips and asked patiently, "Then what other conditions do you want, we can discuss."

Colin said lightly: "I want the Dwarf King to accept the canonization of Duke St. Hilde and swear allegiance to Duke St. Hilde."

"This is impossible!" Count Anka refused without hesitation. "The king of dwarves will only swear allegiance to Emperor Reinhardt."

Colin shrugged, spread his hands and said, "Then there's nothing to talk about."

Count Anka resisted the urge to beat Colin violently, took a few deep breaths, and said solemnly: "Viscount Angele, our dwarves came with good intentions, but I didn't expect you to abuse our good intentions!

You know, we dwarves have waited thousands of years for the founding of our nation!

Please do not underestimate our determination!

Do not think that dwarves will only compromise!

Our swords and axes are still sharp, and our warriors still thirst for blood! "

Colin quietly looked at Count Anka, who was on the verge of going berserk, and suddenly smiled: "Is Mr. Ho dead?"

Count Anka suddenly suffocated.

His big round eyes turned a few times before he nodded helplessly, "Yes."

Prince Lehi killed Mr. Ho in public, so he must not be able to hide it. Count Anka also knew that this news would be known to Winter City sooner or later.

But I didn't expect it to be so fast.

The reason why the Maynum family was so eager to negotiate was that they hoped that everything would be settled before the news of Mr. Hoo's death was known to the Saint Hilde family.

Unfortunately, it's still a step too late.

Earl Anka sighed inwardly, and finally understood the reason why Colin was so tough.

Seeing that the other party's face was gradually gloomy, Ke Lin took the map of the North with a smile, drew a circle on it again, and said:

"I can agree with the dwarves to establish a country, but the territory you promised to cede just now is far from enough. I want this piece!"

Earl Anka hurriedly looked over, but then frowned again, hesitantly said: "Viscount Angele, this piece you painted...is the marquis of the Dawson family?"

"Yeah." Colin took it for granted.

Earl Anka narrowed his eyes and shook his head: "This is impossible, the Dawson family will not agree to such conditions."

Colin laughed and said, "But it's not the Dawson family who are negotiating with me now."

Earl Anka finally understood what Colin meant. This was instigating the Maynum family to sell out their allies!

The dwarf count bowed his head and remained silent, struggling in his heart.

Seeing this, Colin said again: "Fran Dawson betrayed Marquis Garcia and betrayed the Black Cavalry. The Saint Hilde family can't forgive such hatred!

So, in order to make a deal with us, the Marquis of Dawson must be handed over!

Moreover, you must be deeply ashamed of such a betrayal of your dwarves.

Could it be that the Menum family is going to build a dwarven kingdom with such a person?

Oh, by the way, I also heard that Marquis Dawson claimed to be the heir of the former dwarf king Thorrinki family. Could it be that you are going to push him to the throne of the dwarf king? "

"What qualifications does he have to be the king of dwarves!" Count Anka blurted out with disdain.

Colin smiled proudly: "Then why are you hesitating?"

Earl Anka was silent for a while before speaking again: "If we hand over Marquis Dawson and cede the marquis, the Saint Hilde family will agree to the Maynum family to establish a dwarf kingdom?"

"That's right." Colin nodded seriously.

Count Anka seemed to be still a little worried, so he turned his attention to Vera.

Vera just turned around and said solemnly: "Yes, Earl Anka, this is our condition. Marquis Dawson must pay the price for his betrayal!"

Count Anka was a little settled, but he didn't dare to agree to such a condition for a while.

However, looking at his reaction, he did not resist too much.

After all, it was the Dawson family who betrayed, and the interests of the Maynum family were not harmed, but one less competitor.

Seeing this, Colin had a bottom line in his heart. He then spread out a piece of parchment, wrote down the contents of the agreement, and handed it over to Count Anka, saying:

"You can take this peace agreement back to the Marquis of Maynum to see, and if you agree, you can sign it."

Count Anka put away the parchment, nodded yes, and left in a hurry.

In the flower room, Vera put down the potted plant in her hand and asked a little worriedly: "Do you think Marquis of Maynum would agree to such a condition?"

Colin smiled casually and said, "Whether he agrees or not, I have a way to deal with it."

Vera was relieved.

She has almost blind confidence in Ke Lin. After all, no matter what problems she encounters, Ke Lin has a way to save them from danger and solve them smoothly.

"I hope my father can personally execute Marquis Dawson." Vera gritted her silver teeth and said angrily.

The father she mentioned here, of course, was referring to Marquis Garcia.

"Of course there's no problem. After the dwarves are resolved, it's almost time for the exchange of prisoners with the Eastern Territory. You should be able to see Marquis Garcia again soon."

"En." Vera fiddled with the rose petals in front of her, thinking of her father surging in her heart.

Today's Vera was wearing a creamy white tube top pleated skirt, and her bright golden hair had many naughty twists at the ends of her hair, which was held in place by the girl with a red headband.

Ke Lin stepped forward and hugged Vera into his arms. He didn't say a word, just caressed his wife's back.

Vera also put her arms around Colin's waist and buried her face in his hot chest.

Neither of them said a word, quietly enjoying this sweet and warm moment.

...

On the other side, Count Anka hurried back to the dwarven camp outside the city.

"Father, this is the condition of the Saint Hilde family." Earl Anka handed the agreement to Marquis Maynum and lowered his voice, "They want Marquis Dawson..."

The Marquis of Maynum stared at the parchment scroll in his hand, his face changed sharply, and finally he hummed angrily:

"Bad provocation!"

Count Anka was stunned for a while, obviously not expecting such a reaction from his father, and he said after a long while:

"Father, what do you mean? It might not be impossible to hand over Marquis Dawson to the Saint Hilde family..."

"Idiot!" Marquis Maynum scolded, "If we really sell Marquis Dawson, the dwarf coalition will immediately fall apart, and our Maynum family will become a shame for the dwarves!

At that time, without the support of the Dawson family, will we be able to deal with the relieved Saint Hilde family alone? "

When Earl Anka heard the words, a bone-chilling chill suddenly rose in his heart, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He stammered and said, "Then...then what should we...do?"

Marquis Maynum's eyes flickered, and he said categorically:

"Follow me to see Marquis Dawson!"
