The Original Vampire

Chapter 264: Cover your hands for rain

Bang!

   In the chamber of Lion Roar Fort, there was another coffin.

   The guard carrying the coffin reported loudly: "Master Joyce, we found this corpse in the butler's room in Drinden."

   Viscount Valla stepped forward to check, and said in a sad voice: "Yes, it is indeed the father's body!"

   "Planting! This is planting!" Joyce screamed, his face full of anger and fear, "You planted the housekeeper!"

  Looking at Joyce who was gaffey, Colin smiled slightly and said, "Master Joyce, you can't slander an upright knight out of thin air."

   Louis Knight also immediately stood up and questioned: "If the butler of Drinden conspired to kill Earl Uman, why did he deliberately hide the other person's body in his room?"

   Colin seemed to be prepared for a long time, and calmly explained: "Because he wants to find something from Count Uman."

"what?"

   "The will of the Duke of St. Hild!"

   "The will?!"

   For a time, everyone screamed in surprise.

   Louis Knight also looked at Colin suspiciously, all kinds of thoughts flashed in his heart, and he dared not speak any more.

   "The Duke of St. Hilde ever left a will?" Ajani seemed to know the existence of this will for the first time, and her beautiful eyes stared at Colin unblinkingly.

   "Of course." Colin stretched out his hand to Viscount Valla, motioning for the other party to explain.

   Viscount Valla immediately took out a roll of parchment, and said in a deep voice:

   "I just found this will from my father's room, and it is this will that caused my father to be brutally murdered!"

   As he said, Viscount Valla handed over the will to Adjani, and respectfully said: "Your Excellency, please come and read the will of the Lord Duke."

   Ajani took the sheepskin roll, and the wind was calm on the surface, but in fact, there was a stormy sea in her heart.

   Even though she hasn't read the content of the will, she can already guess what is written in it.

  Looking at Colin and Walra's unfettered appearance, this will must have established Vera as his heir!

   Moreover, the performance of Colin and Varla just now made Ajani recognize a cruel fact——

   The Uman family is already on Vera's side!

   This is the deadliest!

   The defection of the Uman family means that Joyce has completely lost control of Winterfell.

   Outside the city, they are still effectively loyal to Vera's Golden Lion Legion. Under such circumstances, even if the city defense forces are still in the hands of Joyce, they can't make any waves anymore.

   That's why Colin dared to kill the Butler of Drinden in public, and unscrupulously planted and framed.

   mastered absolute strength, and also mastered the right to speak.

   Just like a country holding a tube of washing powder, it can be said that another country has weapons of mass destruction.

   The important thing is not the authenticity of the evidence, but whether you have the power to shut up the doubters.

   Now, Colin has such strength.

   Ajani has a heavy heart, knowing that she must make a new choice.

   I saw her slowly unfolding the sheepskin scroll, and in the eyes of everyone's expectation, her red lips lightly opened, and she said loudly:

"I, Seris St. Hild, named Vera St. Hild as the 17th Duke of the North as the Marquis of the North. After my death, she will inherit the throne of the Duke of the North and be in charge. The authority of the North, inheriting the glory of Saint Hild..."

   "Impossible! This is impossible!" Joyce's sharp and tender voice sounded again.

   There is no longer the publicity of the young man's ambition, instead there is endless panic and anger.

   "I don't believe it! I'm the first heir to my father! How could my father let Vera inherit the title of Duke? Show me, show me!"

   Joyce stretched out a trembling hand and asked to see the will with his own eyes.

   But Adjani ignored his request, and said lightly: "This is indeed the handwriting of the Duke of St. Hild, and the badge is no problem."

   This is the acknowledgment of the validity of this will on behalf of the church!

   Colin smiled slightly. The beautiful archbishop is very adept at making the rudder by the wind.

   However, the other party's knowledge of current affairs also saved him a lot of trouble.

   "Give it to me, I want to see it!" Joyce was still reluctantly yelling.

   However, Adjani didn't seem to have heard his request at all, and put her will back in the hands of Viscount Valla.

   Viscount Valla also ignored Joyce, and put the will close by himself.

   Joyce was completely ignored.

   "You...you..." The little boy's face flushed red, his body began to tremble, and his eyes were filled with unbelievable panic.

   The young child experienced the bitterness of the cold world prematurely.

   But everyone present at this time had no time to worry about the mental health of a kid, especially after the kid had lost the aura of the duke's heir.

   Viscount Valla continued to explain: "Father told me that when he first arrived in Winter City three days ago, the butler of Derlinden approached him and showed him the will.

   However, the butler did not take out this will to comply with it, but to destroy it completely and support Master Joyce in the upper ranks!

   Therefore, my father pretended to help the butler destroy this will, but in fact he secretly broke the package and hid the real will secretly.

   Lewis Cavaliers were also present at the time, and he can testify. "

   Everyone's eyes instantly focused on the Louis Knight.

   At this time, Louis also understands that the general situation is over. The Uman family's rebellion has made Joyce's succession impossible.

   What's more, the will has not been destroyed.

   At this moment, Louis Knight even wondered if Earl Uman had been playing Infernal Affairs.

   Did the Uman family always support Vera?

  I was fooled from start to finish?

   Louis Knight fell into a deep panic and confusion. Facing Varla's question at this time, he hesitated for a moment, and had to nod his head, acknowledging the truth of the matter.

   was recognized by the Louis Knight, and Viscount Valla became more confident and continued:

"The moment my father saw the Duke’s will, he had already decided to support Miss Vera, but at that time the butler of Drinden insisted on supporting Master Joyce in the upper ranks. He also claimed to have united all forces in the city to persecute his father. Join them.

   In desperation, his father had no choice but to falsely agree.

   But when Viscount Angley entered the city on behalf of Miss Vera, his father immediately formed an alliance with him, and wanted to lead the family army out of the city to fight the rebels with the Golden Lion Army!

   However, this behavior was regarded as a betrayal by the butler of Drinden, who secretly contacted the dwarf and arranged for the assassin to brutally kill his father.

   After killing his father, Delinden wanted to find the will from his father. This allowed the assassin to leave his father's body, leaving the Lion's Roar with only the father's head, and return to his life.

   But what they didn't know was that his father kept the will in his room. "

   After hearing the story of Viscount Valla, everyone present fell silent for a moment.

   It seems that everything about the death of Earl Uman has a reasonable explanation, but whether this explanation is the truth or not is actually not that important.

   They all understand that the story that Viscount Valla just told is just a high-sounding excuse. What really works is the current military strength that Vera has crushed.

   Therefore, when Viscount Valra decided to fall to Vera's line, the situation in Wintery City was doomed.

  The butler of Delinden must be a traitor, not because of the "truth" that Viscount Valla just said, but because of the Uman family's army and the Golden Lion army outside the city.

   Colin coughed lightly, and said awe-inspiringly: "Delinden colluded with the rebels and murdered Earl Uman. The crime is to blame!

   Do you have any comments? "

  His eyes swept across the faces of everyone present~www.readwn.com~Joyce was stupid under such a huge blow, and he stood there motionless as if he had lost his soul.

   Lewis Knight lowered his head a long time ago, now just thinking about how to save his life.

   The Chester Knights had been neutral, and they still remained silent at this moment.

   As for Archbishop Adjani, after catching Colin's gaze, she smiled brightly and nodded:

   "Delinden really deserved it, Viscount Angley, I deeply agree with your actions!"

   Colin also smiled with satisfaction: "It is my honor to get your approval from the archbishop. However, I still hope that you can find someone to repair the church so that the tragedy of Thomas Knight will not happen again."

  The meaning of these words is to confirm that Thomas was indeed crushed to death by the collapsed church, which is regarded as Colin's return to Ajani's change of position.

   Ajani also heard what Colin meant, and the smile on her face suddenly became brighter.

   Colin's repaying behavior made her understand that this is an object willing to cooperate.

   In this case, it is not unacceptable for Wei to become the Duke.

  " Please rest assured, Viscount Anglia, we will reinforce the church, and we will never allow similar accidents to happen again.

   Now, let's welcome Miss Vera into Winter City as soon as possible. "

   "As you wish!"
