The Original Vampire

"Master Colin, it's really you!"

Colin was startled, and when he looked back, he saw that a group of patrolling cavalry was gathering behind him.

The man in the lead quickly turned over and dismounted, took off his helmet, revealing a very familiar face to Colin.

Raymond Morben.

The three loyal to Baron Angeli, oh no, are now one of the two knights.

"Master Colin, why are you here?"

"I..." Colin looked at Raymond who was leaning over to salute him. He didn't know how to explain to the knight, so he changed the subject and said, "Where's my father? Is he in the camp now?"

Raymond's expression suffocated, and there was a look of sadness in his eyes: "Didn't you receive the letter I sent back before?"

"What letter? How long ago did you send it?"

"About a month ago... It stands to reason that the letter crow should have arrived at Greycastle long ago."

"I haven't received any letters." Colin frowned, thinking that his previous guess was right - someone was really blocking the news on the front line!

"How could this be?" Raymond was also a little stunned.

"What did you say in the letter?"

Raymond lowered his head, his tone became low and sad, but full of guilt: "I'm sorry, Master Colin. I wrote to tell you that Lord Baron died in the battle more than a month ago... unfortunately... "

"What?" Colin was stunned.

Although Colin would not have any feelings for this cheap dad, he was still caught off guard by this sudden bad news.

The expected protection just disappeared.

And, it's gone forever.

However, in this way, wouldn't the baron title of the Angele family fall to him?

wrong!

Noble title!

Colin suddenly realized a problem.

If he hadn't come through, his predecessor should have been assassinated and died.

Therefore, after the death of Baron Angele, Colin was assassinated again, and the title should belong to...

On his sister, Caitlin Angell!

As a result, Colin instantly realized that in this assassination, the person who really profited the most was sister Caitlin!

Therefore, she is also the most suspect.

Colin suddenly felt cold all over.

My own sister even deliberately wanted to kill herself!

Fortunately, I didn't go to Falling Eagle City.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be self-defeating...

In addition, Colin noticed another problem.

That is, his sister must have learned the news of his father's death, otherwise she would never dare to attack Colin.

After all, if Baron Angeli returned to Greycastle alive, only to find that his only son had died, he would definitely not let it go.

Even if Caitlyn's hands and feet are clean and the baron can't trace the murderer, he is still in his prime, and he can marry and have children again, and the title may not necessarily fall to Caitlin.

Under such circumstances, Caitlin would definitely not take such a big risk to murder her brother.

Therefore, Caitlin must have learned of the news of her father's death in the front line through some means, and this is how she felt bad...

Just when Colin was thinking wildly, Raymond choked out the long sword from his waist, knelt down on one knee in front of Colin, put the long sword in both hands, and said:

"I didn't protect the baron well, I broke my oath, Master Colin, you have the right to judge me!"

Colin came back to his senses, looked at Knight Raymond who was half-kneeling in front of him, and suddenly asked, "Where's Knight Valla?"

Raymond was obviously stunned, obviously not understanding why Colin suddenly asked this, but he replied honestly: "The Valla Knights were scattered in the battle, I'm afraid..."

"So you didn't see Valla's body."

"No.

"

Valla Uman, the husband of Colin's sister Caitlin, the illegitimate son of Earl Uman, Lord of the Eagle City.

At the beginning, Baron Angeli was strongly opposed to this marriage.

Although Valla is the illegitimate son of the count, but after all, the blood is not pure and the status is low.

And Baron Angelie is not the kind of person who clings to the powerful, and does not want his daughter to marry an illegitimate child.

Unexpectedly, Caitlin and Valla looked right in the eye, with a desperate attitude for love, and almost staged an alternate version of the story of Romeo and Juliet.

Later, the baron really couldn't do anything about his daughter, and seeing that Valla herself was really good, he was already a second-order knight at a young age, so he nodded and agreed to the marriage contract between the two.

On this expedition, Valla also went to the front line, and she was still missing in the battle...

This time, Colin was nine points sure that this guy Valla had passed the news to his sister.

As for why his news was not blocked, I am afraid that Earl Uman also contributed to it.

Perhaps, Earl Uman is the real mastermind of the assassination.

After all, when Catelyn inherits the title, her and Valla's children will be the next heirs.

In this way, the baron of the Angele family flowed into the Uman family logically.

Earl of Uman...

Colin chewed this powerful name in the North in his heart, and the sternness in his eyes flashed away.

Afterwards, he took the long sword in the hands of Knight Raymond, who was half-kneeling in front of him, and slowly swung it towards the opponent's neck.

Raymond closed his eyes and remained motionless.

The long sword fell on Raymond's shoulder.

But it didn't move forward.

"Knight Raymond Morben, will you be loyal to me?"

Raymond suddenly raised his head and looked at Colin, his eyes were mixed with shock, guilt, and a hint of happiness for the rest of his life.

Of course Colin wouldn't kill Raymond.

Through the test just now, he has confirmed Raymond's loyalty.

A betrayer does not expose his neck to his master's sword.

Colin greatly appreciated Raymond's almost pedantic loyalty.

Especially after experiencing the betrayal of Knight Carter and witnessing the filial son Thrall's father-slaying and seeking glory, it is even more rare for an honest person like Knight Raymond.

"Bang!"

Raymond's left hand slammed hard on his chest, kept a half-kneeling position, and swore loudly:

"I, Raymond Morben, offer my unparalleled loyalty today to the great roaring white bear, Baron Colin Anglee!

As long as I live, your will will be my goal, and your sword will be where I will go!

In the sacred name of the ancestors of the Moben family, I swear my allegiance to you forever! "

The roaring white bear is the coat of arms of the Angele family.

As for the baron, strictly speaking, it has not yet fallen to Colin. After all, he still needs to be recognized by the Duke of St. Hilde.

However, as the first-in-line heir to the Angele family, when the old baron died in battle, it was not wrong for Raymond to call Colin that.

After all, as long as the Angele family's territory remains intact and Colin does not treason, even the Duke of St. Hilde cannot prevent him from inheriting the baron's position.

"Get up."

Colin smiled and asked Raymond to get up, returning the long sword to him, and then asked:

"Where is the camp of Marquis Charles? I want to meet him and learn about the current situation of the army and its next move."

"Lord Marquis..." Knight Raymond's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed, "Lord Marquis is not in the camp."

"what?"
