The Original Vampire

　　 There are three, six or nine people.

　　 nobles are no exception.

　　There are great nobles, small nobles, and knights who are nobles but not entirely nobles.

　　 This banquet of the Su Duo family differentiated such a distinct class.

　　 The Marquis of Garcia, the Marquis of Charles, and Vera, these three are the core small circle in the banquet.

　　 Countless people squeezed their heads and wanted to get together, but they only dared to greet them briefly, and they didn’t dare to stay for a long time. Otherwise, they would be rude and over-reliant.

　　 Outside the core small circle is a circle headed by Count Uman.

　　 Three earls gathered here, as well as the host of this banquet—the Su Duo family.

　　 Further out, there are a group of viscounts and barons.

　　 The last circle, and the most numerous, is the knights including Colin.

　　 Strictly speaking, Colin is also qualified to go to the Baron’s circle, but now that he has realized that this banquet is not as simple as it seems on the surface, he has begun to deliberately lower his sense of existence.

　　 is ready to be a qualified bystander.

　　 Don't look at Colin's sorrow with Marquis Charles before, but if the Marquis really cannot protect himself, then Colin will never let himself be dragged into the water just to pull him.

　　If it's Vera, then Colin might also think about how heroes save the United States, but the Marquis Charles, who likes to pull hands, cry and perform, hehe, ask for your blessing...

　　 The banquet continues, but the atmosphere seems to have quietly changed.

　　The music continued, but the center of the dance floor was already empty.

　　 Even if he was in the outer circle of the banquet, Colin had already felt that the atmosphere around him had become serious.

　　 With his enhanced hearing at night, Colin eavesdropped on the comments of the knights around him.

　　 I don't know when, everyone has stopped talking about this fluke "victory", but turned the topic to their own losses.

　　 Indeed, the series of defeats commanded by the Marquis of Charles almost ruined the 200,000 troops in the north.

　　 Of course, half of them are the direct armies of the Saint Hild family, but the other half are the private armies of the great lords in the north.

　　 In addition, the large territories close to the front line have been captured by the trolls.

　　 So this time, the major lords in the North have suffered heavy losses.

　　 Such a heavy loss, there must be someone responsible for it.

　　 So, the topic gradually began to be a bit unfavorable for the Marquis Charles.

　　Of course, the St. Hild family's prestige is still there, and everyone does not dare to speak out and anger, just complaining sideways.

　　 In Colin's view, such complaints can't hurt the roots of the Marquis Charles at all, and at best make his reputation worse.

　　 may also make the Saint Hild family feel guilty for this fiasco, and may compensate the major lords a little later, but it is limited to this.

　　If Earl Uman was not a bluff before, this little action shouldn't be the "main course" of this banquet.

　　 So, Colin continued to wait.

　　 Sure enough, Colin then waited for a truly explosive news.

　　 "Have you heard? This time the Marquis of Garcia led the Black Cavalry to support the front line, and did not get the order of the Lord Duke at all!"

　　 "What do you mean? Are you saying...the Marquis Garcia sent his troops privately?"

　　 "That's right! So the Marquis will stop in Ice Rock City, he is waiting for the Duke's military order!"

　　 "Heh! He has already deployed his own troops, what military orders are he waiting for..."

　　 "Shhh! Why are you so loud, looking for death!"

　　……

　　 Colin was speechless for a while. These people seemed to be talking quietly, but in fact they didn't cover up too much.

　　 What's more, he has discovered that this "grass news" has almost spread throughout the banquet.

　　 At this time, he suddenly realized what was going on with this hidden undercurrent.

　　 There is no doubt that the Marquis Charles is still the real target of these people.

　　 However, he is the eldest son of the duke after all, and the prestige of the St. Hild family is unparalleled in the north. The lord and nobles who have suffered heavy losses are just mad at the Marquis Charles.

　　 But if someone takes the lead, it's different.

　　 This person, in fact, has already stated his position!

　　 The first time I saw Marquis Charles after the defeat, he drew a whip from the opponent in the crowd.

　　 Before tonight's banquet opened, he once again interrupted a performance carefully planned by the Marquis Charles.

　　This "he" is naturally the commander of the Black Cavalry, the first man in the Northern Army, the brother of the Duke, Marquis Garcia!

　　 And only when the Marquis of Garcia clearly expressed his dislike for the Marquis of Charles, the rest of the nobles dared to follow along and complain.

　　 But originally, it was just complaining.

　　 However, when everyone learned that the Marquis Garcia had dispatched the Black Cavalry without a Duke’s order, the situation was different.

　　 Although the Black Cavalry is the private army of the Marquis Garcia, in name, it is of course allowed to be mobilized and commanded by the Marquis.

　　 But, this is the northern border after all.

　　The Duke of St. Hild is the real master here.

　　 What's more, the Black Cavalry has already left the Marquis, shouldn’t it be the Duke’s approval first?

　　 Therefore, this "grass news" that has been widely spread at the banquet for some reason faintly reveals a signal.

　　 a dangerous signal——

　　The Marquis of Garcia is at odds with the Duke of St. Hild!

　　Actually, smart people should have been aware of the Duke’s fear of his own brother three years ago when the Duke of St. Hilde hid the Black Cavalry.

　　 However, at that time, Marquis Garcia did not defy his brother's orders.

　　 But now, after the fiasco of Charles Marquis, Marquis García finally became dissatisfied with his nepotistic brother and began to rebel?

　　 You know, the Black Cavalry is an extremely terrifying army.

　　 Although there are only 50,000 people, no one doubts whether it can sweep the northern border in the hands of Marquis Garcia.

　　 What's more, due to the series of defeats by the Marquis of Charles, the military strength of the North has been severely weakened.

　　 In this way, the black cavalry seemed even more terrifying.

　　 Therefore, this "grass news" has such a terrifying effect.

　　The Marquis of Garcia has repeatedly "humiliated" the Marquis of Charles. Does he really want to teach the younger generation who made mistakes, or want to take the opportunity to express his dissatisfaction with the Duke of St. Hild?

　　 I think of the suggestion of Count Uman again, and the undercurrent that is currently surging in the banquet.

　　 Colin suddenly realized that a terrible storm was brewing.

Once 　　 takes shape, it will have the terrifying power sweeping the entire northern territory!

　　 Just as the atmosphere in the banquet became more and more solemn, I saw Knight Kahn Sudor suddenly come to the Marquis of Charles.

　　He first saluted respectfully, then raised his head and asked righteously:

　　 "My Lord Marquis! I would like to ask, this time the Northern Territory suffered such a terrible defeat, should anyone be responsible for it?"

　　 The Marquis of Charles was stunned on the spot.

　　 The Marquis of Garcia was expressionless.

　　 The audience was silent.

　　 The storm has officially come!
