Original Vampire

The Uman family’s castle is located in the northwestern part of Falling Eagle City and occupies a large area of ​​land.

Different from ordinary noble castles, this castle does not have exquisite gardens or chic buildings. Instead, the open space around the castle is full of crops and fruit trees.

The castle is built with solid but slightly rustic limestone. It is simple in shape without any extra decorations, but makes the most of the space.

Among the nobles who generally pursue elegance and luxury, the Uman family, which advocates frugality and practicality, is actually a different kind.

This ethos is said to have been brought into the Uman family by the civilian sixth rank warrior who married the female Count back then, but it has been well inherited to this day.

Count Uman of this generation especially agrees with this tradition, not ashamed, but proudly proclaimed--

"When you have higher spiritual pursuits, material enjoyment It's not worth mentioning."

However, this Count Uman doesn't seem to have any artistic accomplishments, so I just don't know what he meant by spiritual pursuit.

In the evening, a team slowly entered the castle.

The guards of the Uman family did not come forward to stop them, but they did not come to greet them either.

Because they know that this is the illegal child of Count-Knight Varla is back.

Knight Varla seems to have become accustomed to the indifferent attitude of the guards. After entering the castle, he helped Caitlin out of the carriage.

After sending Caitlin back to the room, Varla looked towards the restaurant.

He knows that at this time his father is likely to be dining.

The tradition of the Uman family is to use up the dinner before the sun sets, because this saves a candle...

Sure enough, Varla met Count Uman in the restaurant , And Count’s lover-Ms. Penny.

The two are sitting at a long table for dinner. In the past, when Varla saw such a scene, he always felt a touch of warmth in his heart. He felt that his father really loved his mother and was willing to do so. Let a civilian woman sit at the same table with him.

But now, Varla can only feel the deep anger in her bones.

The story of the cuckoo bird occupying the nest warbler's nest that Colin said once again appeared in Varla's mind, making him almost lost self-control.

"Sir Father, mother!" Forcibly suppressing the inner anger, Varla saluted and greeted as usual.

At this time, Count Uman had finished eating, and the waiter on the side immediately moved forward and removed the cutlery on the table.

"Is the trip to Ice Rock City going well?" Count Uman asked, wiping his mouth with a napkin.

"Everything goes well! Viscount Anglia entertained us very warmly."

"Well, how is the situation in Ice Rock City now?"

"Bing Jing Sufficient food!"

Count Uman chewed on Varla's short evaluation, frowning slightly.

"Then have you figured out the tendency of Viscount Anglia?"

"Yes." Varla said confidently, "I am sure that if a rebellion breaks out in the North, Anglia The Viscount will definitely be on our side."

"Oh? Why are you so sure?" Count Uman raised his brows.

"The Viscount Anglia was originally worried about Duke Saint Hild's marrying Miss Vera to Prince Tupei, but in Silver Moon City, he discovered that the Duke actually tried to send someone to assassinate Vera and let Vera die. It became an excuse for the military to intervene in the semi-elf kingdom.

This also made Viscount Anglia, who loved Miss Vera, completely disappointed with Duke Saint Hild, and even felt resentment."

Listen When Varla said that Colin thought it was the Duke trying to assassinate Vera, Count Uman's eyes flashed slightly, but soon he asked as usual: "So, Vera chose to stay in Silver Moon City and The reluctance to return to the north is also because of resentment towards Duke Saint Hild?"

"Yes."

"en." Count Uman nodded, seems to have recognized Knight Varla judgment.

Then he remembered something and asked, "By the way, you haven't eaten yet?"

"No. Caitlin is still waiting for me in the room, I'll wait Dine with her."

"Okay, then go quickly, remember to finish your meal before dark."

"Yes."

Varla saluted Count Uman and Penny again, and then left.

Until Varla's silhouette disappeared outside the hall, his "biological mother" Ms. Penny did not take the initiative to say a word to him.

"Do you think Viscount Anglia might be able to win over?" Penny put down the knife and fork in her hand and finally spoke.

Count Uman shook his head slowly: "Since the failed assassination a year ago, the Anglia family has not been with us."

"You think he knows it is Did we send the assassin?"

"You guessed it." Count Uman's eyes were deep, "Judging from a series of events in Silver Moon City, this Colin · Anglia is a very clever man with a great means, impossible I can’t guess that it was our hands."

Penny was lightly snorted and complained:

"You shouldn’t have made extravagances and coveted the title of the Anglia family! You are right! Varla, an illegal child, is already very good. First, let him accept baptism and become Knight, and then help him marry the noble lady. There is no need to find ways to compensate him."

The guilt in Count Uman's eyes flashed past. , But didn’t make any excuses, and instead asked: “Since the Anglia family is difficult to be attracted, how are your big brothers going to deal with them?”

Penny hesitated, but shook her head: “Me too I don't know, the big brother didn't tell me."

Count Uman's face was calm, but there was an unspeakable anger in his heart.

He knows that he is no longer trusted.

In the Northern Territory uprising a year ago, his behavior at both ends of the first rat had already aroused the vigilance of the Saint Theon family. This time, the other party was obviously already guarding him.

Seeing her silent husband, Penny laughed and said warmly: "You don't have to worry about it. Spring is coming, and the big brother's layout in the north is complete. This time, the Saint Hild family will definitely be inevitable. Doomsday!"

"Where is your big brother now?"

"He is in the Dragon City."

Count Uman frowned. But she didn't ask what Penny's big brother was doing in the capital of Glorious Empire.

Because he knew that even if he asked, Penny would not be able to tell the truth.

Then he doesn't need to be boring.

In fact, for this rebellion, Count Uman was somewhat unsure in his heart.

Many plans of the Saint Theon family began to be hidden from him. This feeling of not being able to see the whole picture made Count Uman very anxious.

Furthermore, he knows his own ruler, Duke Saint Hild, who has been in charge of the North for more than 30 years, knowing that the other party is not a character that can be easily dealt with.

Even more how, the duke even hid his strength.

A Paladin is enough to suppress one party!

Although the Saint Theon family invited Paladin from the troll empire and severely injured Duke Saint Hild, no one knew how badly the Duke of the North was injured.

Penny seemed to see the man’s worries, said with a smile: “The repair project of the Falling Eagle City city wall has been completed. Some old buildings were also repaired and strengthened together."

"Well, you have arranged this yourself." Count Uman answered casually, and then stood up, "I'm going to the study."

"Okay." Penny smiled slightly, she also stood up, and at the same time raised her head, as if waiting for the man's kiss.

But Count Uman didn't seem to notice the hint of his lover at all, and went straight out.
