The Original Vampire

The bright morning light sprinkled on the Red Maple Manor, and the crystal dewdrops radiated a little shimmer, like pure diamonds, embellishing this elegant manor like a fairyland.

After a heavy rain, the air became extraordinarily fresh, and the fragrance of flowers and plants permeated everywhere.

Colin took a deep breath and stretched out against the rising sun.

Refreshed.

"Good morning, His Royal Highness Prince Tupe!"

"Good morning, Viscount Angele! You seem to be in a good mood today!"

Prince Tupe looked at Colin who was smiling and felt a little strange in his heart.

Since Vera's coming-of-age ceremony, although the two of them will not draw swords to face each other, they will definitely not give each other a good look.

"Haha, of course! This is thanks to your hospitality!" Colin smiled sincerely.

"It's my honor to be able to satisfy His Excellency the Viscount!" Prince Tupe always felt that today's Colin was a little too enthusiastic, but he didn't care much.

He felt that as a winner, he should be tolerant.

The half-elf prince was obviously dressed up today, wearing a luxurious dress.

Especially the green thorn ring headdress on his head attracted Colin's attention.

Seemingly noticing that Colin was staring above his head, Prince Tupe supported the ring of thorns and explained:

"This is the tradition of our half-elf kingdom. When the royal children enter Silvermoon City, they must wear a thorn headband, which symbolizes responsibility and sacrifice."

"Oh~~" Colin suppressed his smile, "It's really beautiful! You know, in my hometown, green symbolizes luck."

"Really? Thank you so much for your blessing! I'll go and say hello to Miss Vera, please do it yourself." Prince Tupe walked past Colin, but turned back and reminded after a few steps, "Oh yes Now, you have to be a little careful when you walk in the garden today."

"What's wrong?"

"I'm afraid a beast has broken in."

"Beast?"

"Yes,

Last night, a long-tailed kite was bitten off its throat and drained its blood. I don't know what beast did it. "

"That's too bad!" Colin sighed feigningly.

Prince Tupe also looked resentful: "Hey, that long-tailed kite is the mother's beloved pet, and she will be sad for a long time now. This damn beast, when I find it, I will definitely cut it to pieces! "

"Well, damn beast!" Colin scolded naturally.

As if the long-tailed kite had nothing to do with him.

"Then I'll go to the front hall for dinner first, good luck!"

Farewell to Prince Tupe, Colin hummed a little tune and walked briskly to the dining room.

There was already one person sitting at the long table in the hall.

"Good morning, Lord Viscount!"

"Good morning, Knight Telder."

Colin always felt that there was something wrong with the way the Saint Hilde family knight looked at him, but he still sat down to eat as usual.

Breakfast is very rich.

Colin was very perfunctory.

Just as he stuffed something into his stomach and was about to leave, Prince Tupe also came to the hall.

"Miss Vera is a little uncomfortable, so I'm afraid we won't be able to leave today."

Hearing Prince Tupe's words, Knight Telde looked at Colin even more wrongly.

The culprit, Colin, seemed to have no idea, and even asked worriedly, "Is Miss Vera okay?"

"It should be fine. It is estimated that I was disturbed by the thunderstorm last night, and I didn't sleep well." Prince Tupe replied casually, not noticing the strangeness of the Telde knight.

"Don't worry, I will arrange for a priest to show Miss Vera."

"You are bothered."

"This is what I should do."

After Prince Tupe left, Knight Telde smiled at Colin: "Viscount Angele, the rain last night was a bit heavy!"

Colin nodded with a smile, as if he didn't understand the deep meaning of the other party's words: "Indeed, I also didn't sleep well all night."

Without waiting for Knight Telder to speak again, a certain guilty thief quickly put down his knife and fork and got up to say goodbye: "Then I'll go back to sleep first, you can continue."

...

So, because of Vera's body, the sending embassy stayed at the Red Maple Manor for another day.

On the third day, we set off again.

The half-elf prince was still dressed up, with a green ring of thorns on his head.

"Good morning, His Royal Highness! Has that damn beast caught it?"

"Good morning, Your Excellency Viscount!" Prince Tupe shook his head, "Not yet. Besides, another poodle was brutally murdered last night, which is really hateful!"

"What?" Colin looked surprised, "It's too much!"

"I have strengthened the guards of the manor. If the beast dares to come out tonight, he will definitely not let him run away again!"

"Well, it definitely won't run away." Colin nodded solemnly, then lightly clamped on the horse's belly, "Let's go, His Royal Highness."

"it is good."

...

In the afternoon of the same day, the sending embassy arrived in Silvermoon City smoothly.

If Ice Rock City is a prosperous trade city on the border, Winter City is a majestic city of kings, then Silver Moon City is a beautiful city of gardens.

This ancient city, which has experienced thousands of years of ups and downs, has been the political, economic and cultural center of the half-elf kingdom since its inception, and it can be called the holy city of the half-elf family.

In order to dress it up beautifully, the half-elf people went to great lengths.

Needless to say, there are all kinds of finely crafted buildings, and even any empty corner of the street has been planted with flowers and trees by the half-elves.

This garden-like city has been unforgettable by many bards, spreading its beauty and tranquility everywhere, making its reputation resound throughout the continent.

However, the result of paying too much attention to beautiful appearance is that the military value of this Silvermoon City is almost non-existent.

For example, the city walls surrounded by wisteria, although they look beautiful, when they fight, they are like climbing stairs built for the siege party.

As for the crystal city gate that radiated colorful rays of light under the sunlight, Colin doubted whether it could withstand a round of impact from the heavy cavalry.

In fact, Colin thought about it.

The walls and gates of this Silvermoon City may seem fragile, but they have never been destroyed in war.

Because, every time the enemy army attacked Silvermoon City, the city would simply surrender without a fight.

In the words of the half-elves—

"We can't bear to let this beautiful city go through war."

Therefore, although this Silvermoon City is a beautiful vase that shatters at the touch of a touch, it completely preserves the masterpieces of the ancient architects of the half-elf family, which can be called a miracle in the history of cultural relics protection.

The one who came to greet him at the gate of the city was the Prime Minister of the Half-Elves Kingdom - Duke Miller.

"Dear Viscount Angele, welcome to you, the king and queen have been waiting in the palace for a long time."

"Your Excellency the Duke, you are too polite." Colin casually saluted Duke Miller, showing a hint of arrogance naturally.

At this time, he represented the northern border of the empire, so there was no need to be too polite to a duke of a vassal state.

Duke Miller certainly wouldn't blame him. As a prime minister of a small country, he had already learned to bow before the messengers of a big country.

After saluting Prince Tupe again, Duke Miller finally turned his gaze to Vera's carriage, as if he wanted to greet Vera in person.

Unfortunately, Vera had no intention of coming out to see him.

Just as Duke Miller was embarrassed, Colin's voice came from the front:

"Lord Duke, please lead the way, you can't keep His Majesty the king waiting for a long time."

"Yes, yes! Please come with me!"
