The Original Vampire

Dark night.

The Duke of St. Pros stood on the balcony of Chateau Blanc and looked into the distance.

From where he stood, he could vaguely see the battle situation in Dongcheng.

Although the blood cavalry was extremely brave, it was still trapped in the layers of defense carefully constructed by the Pegasus Army.

Of course, the Duke of St. Pros is also very clear that if he really wants to leave this northern cavalry completely in Bailu City, the eastern border will probably have to pay a very tragic price.

Even more terrible than the price paid in the first battle of Shadow Canyon.

But the Duke of St. Pros was still determined to carry out the plan.

Because he understands that the significance of this battle is not only to annihilate this cavalry of less than 20,000 people, but to pull out one of the sharpest fangs in the north!

More importantly, this is even more significant for the Eastern Border.

The Eastern Border Army has been weak for many years, not precisely because of the lack of a whetstone.

This time, the Duke of St. Pros will use the hardest whetstone, the Blood Cavalry Army, to help the Eastern Realm forge a strong iron-blooded army!

As for the life and flesh and blood that will be consumed in the process of "sharpening", in the eyes of the Duke of St. Pros, it is also the price that the Eastern Territory must pay.

This is the cold-blooded and decisive that a wise lord must possess.

Light footsteps sounded behind him, and the familiar rose scent made the Duke of St. Pros guess the identity of the person who came without looking back.

Sure enough, she saw the Duchess, taking Pingting's steps, stood beside her husband.

She glanced at the fire in the city and smiled:

"It seems that the blood cavalry army really failed to achieve its goal and refused to give up!"

The Duke of St. Pros smiled and said, "Of course. The Hall family is too important to the North, so this time the Blood Cavalry cannot successfully pick up those people from Bailu City, and the North will never be able to completely control the Furious River. .

And we also have the leverage to persuade Earl Hall to change his mind. "

"You really intend to forgive the Hall family?"

"Do I have a choice?" said the Duke of Saint-Pros through gritted teeth.

"Raging Water River is too important to the Eastern Realm. Isn't that old man Earl Hall who saw this, so he launched this rebellion without fear!"

The Duchess sighed and said helplessly: "In this way, Vincent's status as the first heir can no longer be shaken."

Hearing this, the Duke of St. Pros suddenly turned his head, stared at his wife's profile, and asked, "Why did you encourage me to change the heir?"

"Of course it's because of Vincent's fiasco in Silvermoon City." The Duchess replied casually, "Do you regret it?"

The Duke of St. Pros didn't let this question jump over so simply, and continued to ask: "No, you showed your dislike for Vincent before he screwed up the Battle of Silvermoon City.

Moreover, why the Fein family was able to be drawn over by Evan, do you really think I know nothing? "

The Duchess's eyes flashed, as if she was on her mind.

She raised her head and put a few strands of her hair that had been ruffled by the night wind behind her ears, as if to hide her guilty conscience, and said with a smile, "Yes, I really don't like Vincent very much."

"why?"

The Duchess turned around and faced her husband, saying, "Have you forgotten? Vincent was the first child I conceived. Because of my inexperience, I suffered a lot. Therefore, compared to the later Evan and Anna, I really don't like Vincent enough.

Of course, it's my own problem, and as a mother, I shouldn't be so biased..."

"Really?" The Duke of St. Pros looked at his wife's face quietly, wondering if he believed the somewhat ridiculous explanation she gave, and then asked, "What about Evan?"

"What?" The Duchess was stunned.

"Didn't you persuade me to let Anna succeed the Duke of the Eastland again a few days ago?" The Duke of St. Pros looked at his wife with scrutiny, "Why did Evan lose your favor?"

"Isn't that because he has let us down time and time again, Clover City, the Tinder Army, including arrogantly called lords to try to besiege Colin Angele, so I think that maybe he is not the most important person to become the Duke of Eastland. Excellent choice."

"yes?"

"That's right. Moreover, Anna has made great progress on the path of knighthood, and she is very hopeful to be promoted to the Sanctuary. It is indeed a good choice for her to inherit the position of Duke of the East."

"Is it just that?"

"Or else?" The Duchess said with a look of course, and then she seemed to remember something, and suddenly asked, "By the way, speaking of Anna, have you inquired about her whereabouts?"

Seeing his wife trying to change the subject again, the Duke of St. Pros finally lost his patience and said solemnly: "Okay, Kate, stop pretending, I have seen through your tactics!"

The Duchess was stunned for a while, then looked at her husband inexplicably, and asked, "Pretend what? What means?"

The Duke of St. Pros sneered: "The difficulty in giving birth to the first child, the fiasco under Silvermoon City, these are all excuses!

The reason you really don't want Vincent to inherit the title of Duke of the East is because he married a woman from the Hall family! "

Without waiting for the Duchess to speak, the Duke of Saint-Pros continued:

"It's the same with Evan, Clover City, Tinder Army... these are all plausible excuses, in fact, since I publicly announced his engagement to Grace of the Bruggen family, you started to persuade me to change my position. Anna is the first heir!

So, what you care about is not who will be the Duke of the East, but who the Duke of East's spouse is!

If I guessed correctly, you should have already helped Anna find a Christian husband, right? "

"You...is that how you look at me..." The Duchess's body trembled slightly, as if she couldn't believe that her husband was speculating about her maliciously.

"Isn't it?" The Duke of St. Pros snorted coldly, looking at his aggrieved wife, but his heart was as hard as a stone, "I really regret listening to your nonsense! If I have always firmly defended Vincent Special inheritance, then all this will not happen now..."

"Haha!" The Duchess suddenly sneered and said, "I see, you are trying to put the blame on me!"

"Enough!" The Duke of St. Pros growled, grabbing his wife's arm in anger, "Kate, you have disappointed me so much!

You have been married to the St. Pros family for so many years, and you have given birth to three children for me, but your heart is always toward the church!

Of course, this is nothing, after all, the St. Pros family is a loyal ally of the Pope.

But, you should never, never hit my heir's mind! "

I don't know if it was because the Duke of St. Pros hurt his arm, or because he was thinking of something, the Duchess's face gradually turned pale.

Just as she was thinking hard about how to explain to her furious husband, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps.

The housekeeper saw from a distance that the atmosphere on the balcony didn't seem right. It stands to reason that he shouldn't have stepped forward to disturb him, but at this time, the situation was urgent, and he couldn't care about it anymore, so he bravely walked over.

The Duke of St. Pros asked angrily:

"What's up?"

The housekeeper did not dare to lift his head, and said in a trembling tone:

"Master, Master Vincent...he...he was assassinated in the Hall family!"
