Original Vampire

How difficult is it to be promoted from Baron to Viscount?

The title of Baron of the Anglia family was acquired by Colin's great-grandfather who fought for half his life on the battlefield.

Since then, although all three generations of Baron of the Anglia family have been on the battlefield, and two of them died on the front line, they still have not been able to raise the family's title to viscount.

Of course, there are too many lords in the north, slow metabolism, and serious class consolidation, but it also shows the difficulty of promotion.

This time, Colin didn't expect that he not only inherited the position of Baron, but also was promoted to Viscount.

Besides the surprise, Colin also realized that his promotion was actually the result of a combination of many factors.

As a result, most of the old lords in the north were swept away by the two brothers of the Saint Hild family, and a large amount of land was also taken back by the Saint Hild family, which naturally led to the difficulty of awarding the title greatly.

Secondly, Colin, after all, participated in the battle of chasing troll, and gained a lot of credit.

Although Colin played a very small role in that battle, it is not an exaggeration to say that he played soy sauce all the way, but Duke Saint Hild obviously does not want to give all this great credit to Black Cavalry A series of generals.

Therefore, among the nobles participating in this battle, Colin, apart from Marquis Garcia, only one noble who is loyal to Duke Saint Hild will of course receive the Duke’s attention.

Well, I don’t know if Marquis Garcia and Vera played any role in this matter. If they both had Colin before the Duke, then promotion to Viscount is really not that difficult. .

Anyway, this time Colin is breaking!

The Anglia family has taken a big step forward in his hands, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a glorious ancestor.

Among the crowd watching the ceremony, elder sister Caitlin already burst into tears with excitement, and at the same time clenched her fists on her chest, probably to comfort the dead father and let him rest in peace.

After Colin took the oath, an attendant walked up with a brand new Viscount dress in his hand.

This dress is a deep red velvet coat and black trousers. The coat of arms is embroidered with the emblem of the Anglia family, and there are two silver stripes under the coat of arms-this is a symbol of viscountry.

Colin took it with both hands.

After that, the attendant once again handed the Viscount’s exclusive ring and ribbon, and a parchment with the stamped gilded text and the seal of Duke Saint Hild — the new territory canonized to the Anglia family.

Colin held this pile of things, bowed again to Duke Saint Hild, and then stepped back.

Elder sister Caitlin rushed to Colin excitedly, almost uncontrollable in joy.

But she also knows to pay attention to the occasion, she just whispered in Colin's ear:

"Colin! Great! Father will be proud of you when I know it! We, Anglia The family has struggled for so many years and finally became a Viscount family! Quick, let me see where the new Fiefdom of the family is..."

Colin looked at the excited elder sister, but there was nothing in his heart. The waves.

After all, his sense of identity with the Anglia family is not high, and he wants to know, is this elder sister really happy for him, or is it pretending?

While Colin was staring at elder sister Caitlin, he suddenly noticed that the joy on the other's face suddenly solidified, and was replaced by shock and doubt.

"What's wrong?" Colin blinked and asked in a low voice.

Caitlin spread the parchment in front of Colin, and asked incredulously: "Look at the family's new Fiefdom... how could it be here?"

Colin Then he looked towards parchment in doubt, and then he was also stunned.

How could it be here?

Is it a mistake?

……

Just as Colin's sister and brother looked at each other in blank dismay, the ceremony continues.

Kane Sudor was called by name this time.

The first wife's eldest son of the Sudor family, who has a bit of grudges with Colin, walked to the center of the hall with excitement, under one-knee kneels.

In the past two months, the changeable situation in the northern border, to be honest, made Kane quite dazed and scared.

Fortunately, he kept in mind his father's words before his death, and closely followed in the footsteps of his uncle Count Uman, so that he could survive this catastrophe without risk.

I even made a great contribution!

In Kane's view, if that pesky Colin can be named Viscount, should the Sudor family's knighthood also be promoted to First Rank?

However, while Kane was waiting expectantly for the Duke’s canonization, the Duke inserted the long sword in his hand into the marble floor under his feet and asked Kane:

" Knight Kane, tell me, what is loyalty?"

"What?" Kane looked up stupidly, looking at Duke Saint Hild blankly.

The crowd watching the ceremony suddenly quieted down.

Kane's elder sister, Cynthia Sudor, whom Colin called a "crazy woman", was also surprised by the duke's questioning.

Her hands clenched instantly, instinctively aware that something was wrong.

Colin squeezed the parchment in his hand and looked at Kane who was stunned in the field. He seemed to wake up suddenly, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Loyal...loyal...of course...that is..."

"What is it?"

Duke Saint Hild's face is cold, like an arrow His gaze seemed to have penetrated the poor Knight who was kneeling in front of him.

Under such gaze, Kane only felt that there was a blank in her mind, and she didn't know what she was talking about in her mouth.

Duke Saint Hild's tone is extremely cold: "You asked Charles to give up the position of Marquis in public, is it because of loyalty?"

It's over.

The Sudor family, it's over.

This is the mind of all the nobles present.

Obviously, Duke Saint Hild is turning over the old account.

When Kane was launched by Count Uman as a bird, many people guessed that he would pay for it.

Now, the price really comes.

Kane thought that by following Count Uman, "turning to the battle", he would be able to wipe out the previous offense.

But apparently, Duke Saint Hild did not intend to let the Sudor family easily.

The face and glory of the Saint Hild family cannot be trampled on by a little noble.

Of course, in fact, what really made Charles voluntarily give up his title was the pressure of Marquis Garcia.

However, Marquis Garcia has enough confidence that the duke's anger will not pour on him.

And Kane Sudor, hehe, he does not have this ability, so he can only become the object of the Duke's prestige.

killing the chicken to warn the monkey!

"I...I..."

Looking at a wimpy Kane, Duke Saint Hild sneered, suddenly loudly said: "Viscount Colin, what do you say? Is it loyal?"

The eyes of the audience suddenly turned to Colin.

Colin was stunned, but soon strode forward.

He seems to have a hunch about this.

"My lord Duke, I think that loyalty means giving everything to yourself unconditionally, regardless of the cause, right or wrong, regardless of gain or loss!"

"Regardless of the cause, regardless of the reason Right or wrong, regardless of gain or loss..." Duke Saint Hild chewed Colin's answer carefully, and a hint of appreciation and deep meaning flashed in his eyes.

After that, he threw the long sword in his hand straight to Colin, and at the same time commanded: "Okay! Then I will order you now and kill Kane Sudor immediately!"

"Yes! "

The nobles present have not reacted yet, even when Kane himself was still kneeling on the ground in a daze, Colin had already caught the long sword thrown by the Duke.

Then, without the slightest hesitation, swipe away!

"shua!"

A flash of silver light flashed.

Blood splattered!
