Original Vampire

After the ceremony was over, everyone left the church one after another.

The faces of most nobles are full of joy. After all, this time is the largest in recent years in the Northern Territory.

The generosity of Duke Saint Hild allowed the nobles in the north to settle down from the turmoil that just ended.

They all firmly believe that the future of the North will be even better!

Colin ignored the excited chirp chirp twitter twitter a non-stop elder sister, deliberately left behind to talk to Marquis Garcia, to test the thoughts of this big brother.

Although Marquis Garcia did not have an attack on the spot, Colin knew that this time Duke Saint Hild's failure to keep his promise and let Adam become his first heir had completely angered Marquis Garcia.

If the two brothers were acting deliberately before, now, the rift between them is real, and it can鈥檛 be easily bridged anymore.

To tell the truth, Colin didn't understand the behavior of the Duke of Saint-Cilde in ruining promises.

This is not because Colin feels that the other party should follow Knight's virtues.

He is not so naive.

An old politician who has ruled the North for several decades, expecting him not to lie is the same as expecting men not to steal.

What Colin doesn't understand is why the Duke of Saint Silde wants to tear his face with his younger brother in this way at this time.

Too impatient, and too lack of political wisdom.

If Colin is in the position of Duke, even if he does not want to pass the Duke position to Vera, he will not abandon one's benefactor after achieving one's goal so soon.

At least he will first grant the title to Vera, recognize her as the first heir, and stabilize Marquis Garcia first.

Then, whether it is slowly weakening the Black Flag Army or fostering another military force that can be contended, it is more comfortable.

After all, Vera inherited the throne of Marquis, but he did not immediately become Duke of the North.

We can also deprive her of her title in the future.

Why rush now?

Of course, Colin doesn't think Marquis Garcia really dares to rebel at this time.

After all, most of the lords in the north have now been wiped out, and the rest have been reassured by the duke.

The Black Flag Army鈥檚 previous "defeating action" behavior has given Marquis Garcia the notoriety of "betrayer".

Now even if he stands up to deal with his big brother, no lord will respond to his call.

As for Black Cavalry, Marquis Garcia's acquiescence has also been drawn to the Duke's differentiation.

The vassals who have been loyal to Marquis Garcia, such as the Marquis of Dawson, are willing to admit that they are a member of the Black Cavalry after swearing allegiance to the Duke?

Is it still the same as before, after Marquis Garcia gave an order, he chose to follow without the slightest hesitation?

Even more how, Duke Saint Hild abandoned his promise, in fact, only a handful of people know.

After all, the original transaction between Duke Saint Hild and Marquis Garcia was a secret. If Colin hadn鈥檛 been regarded as the future son-in-law by Marquis Garcia, he learned the specific details of the transaction. He would never realize Duke Saint Hild's betrayal of his younger brother.

If Marquis Garcia chooses to rebel with troops, will he be regarded by the Northerners as a betrayal of his big brother?

Is Marquis Garcia willing to bear such an infamy again?

"Lord Marquis!" Colin leaned close to Marquis Garcia and greeted him in a low voice.

Marquis Garcia glanced at Colin, did not speak, and continued to walk outside.

Colin knew that the boss was in a bad mood, so he didn't dare to say more, and walked out of the church behind him.

When I got outside, Marquis Garcia immediately turned on his horse, and took another look at Colin who followed him, and said indifferently, "Tell me, your loyalty really does not ask for the reason, right or wrong? ?"

Colin heart shivered with cold, inwardly shouted bad.

Faced with the sudden attack of Duke Saint Hild before, Colin deliberately interpreted loyalty as an unconditional obedience in order to please the Duke.

Didn't expect, this was obviously misunderstood by Marquis Garcia.

But there is no way, how could Colin expect that the two brothers would break again at that time.

At the time, he thought that Duke Saint Hild, who had cleared away the threats in the north and beyond, had undoubtedly become the real Sovereign in the north.

If Colin wants to continue mixing in the North, grow the Anglia family, or even marry Vera, he must be recognized by Duke Saint Hild.

So, Colin took the initiative to take a flattery.

Furthermore, when he saw his new Fiefdom, he was already aware of the Duke鈥檚 plan. In addition, he had an enmity with the Sudor family. He had already prepared himself to become a Saber in the hands of the Duke. ready.

But who knows, the Duke turned away his promise to Marquis Garcia at this time.

This undoubtedly caused the worry of turbulence in the northern territory, which had just calmed down.

So, Colin once again faced the choice of standing in line.

And this time, he really doesn't know which way to choose.

Although inwardly, he agrees with Marquis Garcia more.

This is not only because the Marquis almost gave himself a gift in the First Battle of the Icefields, but also gave himself a retired Black Cavalry veteran to help the Anglia family form a cavalry.

It is completely true to train Colin as a son-in-law.

Moreover, from a moral point of view, this matter is indeed Duke Saint Hild sorry for his younger brother.

He betrayed his promise!

However, facing Marquis Garcia's question at this moment, Colin didn't know what to say for a while.

Do you directly admit that what you just said was fart?

In this way, wouldn't one's own "personal design" collapse immediately?

Who dares to trust someone who can throw away his vows at will?

Just when Colin was in a daze, Marquis Garcia had already driven away.

Before leaving, one last sentence is thrown away: "Go and understand the origin of your [Judgement Blade], and then rethink what true loyalty is!"

Look at Marquis Garcia's back, Colin stood there for a while, not knowing what to do.

Until the elder sister Caitlin walked over with a puzzled look on her face, she led Colin back to the hotel.

鈥︹€?/p>

In the next few days, Ice Rock City was calm and tranquil.

Marquis Garcia did not act excessively, as if he had completely forgotten his big brother's betrayal.

However, at the end of the ceremony, Marquis Garcia left Ice Rock City.

It seems unwilling to stay in this city for one more second.

The departure of Marquis Garcia did not arouse much attention, after all, the Marquis was used to coming and going all alone.

Furthermore, the real master of the North is still in the city at this time.

However, Duke Saint Hild did not stay in Ice Rock City for too long.

On the 3rd day after the ceremony, he set off to return to Winter City.

As the new owner of Ice Rock City, Colin certainly wants to see him off.

This is a bright sun and a gentle breeze early morning. A large number of northern nobles gathered outside the south gate of Ice Rock City.

Of course, headed by Duke Saint Hild.

Beside him is the newly promoted Viscount Anglia to accompany him.

"Colin, are you satisfied with the new territory I rewarded you?"

"My lord, of course I am very satisfied!"

Colin this It's not exactly flattery.

Because the Anglia family鈥檚 territory is indeed very large now.

The original territory of the Sudor family was Ice Rock City and the surrounding area of 鈥嬧€媘ore than 30 kilometers. However, this territory does not directly border the original territory of the Anglia family.

There are also two Baron collars in between.

However, these two Barons were beheaded in the previous rebellion, so the Duke simply awarded the two territories to Colin.

So, counting the original Greycastle town, Colin's current territory area is the sum of the area of 鈥嬧€媡he original Viscount collar and three Baron collars.

This definitely exceeds the territory area of 鈥嬧€媋 general viscount.

If it hadn鈥檛 been for the fact that there were too much land in the northern border and too few lords, Duke Saint Hild would not be so generous.

"Hehe, so, are you satisfied?" Duke Saint Hild asked with a smile.

Colin blinked and smiled: "Of course not. No lord will be satisfied with the size of his territory!"

Duke Saint Hild laughed heartily up and seemed right. Colin's answer is very satisfactory.

After laughing for a while, the Duke said again: "Did you know? My grandfather once said something similar."

He raised his whip and pointed to the east: "The northern one There is nothing to go to the icefield, too cold and too barren. However, if you want to expand your territory, you can try to the east."

After that, he didn鈥檛 wait for Colin to respond, so he waved immediately. Whip the horse and leave.

Colin was stunned, thinking about the meaning of the last words the Duke said.

At this moment, a gorgeous carriage passed by Colin.

The curtain opened, revealing a beautiful face.

"Colin."

"Miss Vera."

"1 month later is my coming-of-age gift, will you come?"

"Of course, it's my honor!"

Vera smiled and lowered the curtain.

The convoy moved forward slowly and gradually disappeared into the horizon.

Colin has been standing outside the city gate for a long time, but instead of watching the Duke going away, he looked to the east鈥攖he direction where the Duke of Saint Silde just pointed his finger towards.

There is the eastern border of the empire.

And a small country sandwiched between the north and east鈥?/p>

Semi-elf kingdom.
