The Original Vampire

How difficult is it to be promoted from Baron to Viscount?

The noble title of the Angele family was acquired by Colin's great-great-grandfather after fighting for half his life on the battlefield.

Since then, although all three barons of the Angele family have been on the battlefield, and two of them died on the front line, there is still no way to raise the family's title to a Viscount.

Of course, there are too many lords in the north, slow metabolism, and serious class consolidation, but it also explains the difficulty of the promotion.

This time, Colin didn't even think that he not only inherited the Baron title of the cheap daddy but also was promoted to the Viscount.

Surprisingly, Colin also realized that his promotion this time was actually the result of a combination of many factors.

As a result, most of the old lords in the north were swept away by the two brothers of the Saint Hilde family, and a large amount of land was also taken back by the Saint Hilde family, which naturally caused the difficulty of awarding the title to be greatly reduced.

Secondly, after all, Colin was considered to have participated in the battle of chasing and destroying the trolls and gained a lot of credit.

Although it is said that Colin played a very small role in that battle, but the Duke of St. Hilde obviously does not want to give all this great credit to the generals of the Black Cavalry.

Therefore, among the nobles participating in this battle, apart from the Marquis of Garcia, Colin is the only noble who is loyal to the Duke of St. Hilde, of course, he will receive the Duke's attention.

In short, now Colin has broken the bull!

The Angele family has taken a big step forward in his hands.

In the crowd watching the ceremony, his sister Caitlin was already in tears with excitement, and at the same time she clenched her fists on her chest, presumably, she was comforting her dead father and letting him rest in peace.

After Colin took the oath, an attendant walked up with a brand new Viscount dress in his hand.

This dress is a dark red velvet coat and black trousers. The coat of arms is embroidered with the Angele family crest, and there are two silver stripes under the coat of arms - this is a symbol of Viscount's title.

Colin took it with both hands.

Afterwards, the attendant once again handed the Viscount’s exclusive ring and ribbon, and a piece of parchment with gilded text and the seal of the Duke of St. Hilde - the new territory canonized to the Angele family.

Colin held this pile of things, bowed again to the Duke of St. Hilde, and then stepped back.

Sister Caitlin happily rushed to Colin, almost uncontrollable in joy.

But she also knew to pay attention to the occasion and just whispered in Colin's ear:

"Colin! Great! Father will be proud of you when he knows it! Our Angele family has been fighting for so many years and finally become a Viscount family! Quick, let me see where the family's new fief is... "

Colin looked at his excited sister, but there was not much turbulence in his heart.

After all, his sense of identity with the Angele family is not high, and he wants to know whether this sister is really happy for him, or is she pretending to be?

When Colin stared at his sister Caitlin, he suddenly found that the joy on the other's face had frozen suddenly, and was replaced by shock and doubt.

"What's the matter?" Colin blinked and asked in a low voice.

Caitlin spread out the parchment in front of Colin, and asked incredulously: "Look at the family's new fief... how could it be here?"

Colin looked at the parchment suspiciously, and then he was also stunned.

How could it be here?

Is it wrong?

...

As sister Colin looked at each other, the ceremony continued.

This time, it was Kahn Sudor who was called by name.

The eldest son of the Sudor clan, who was quite entangled with Colin, walked to the center of the hall with excitement and knelt on one knee.

In the past two months, the changing situation in the north, to be honest, made Kahn quite dazed and scared.

But fortunately, he survived.

Remembering what his father said before his death, and closely following the footsteps of his uncle, Earl Uman, was the only way to survive this catastrophe without risk.

Even made a great contribution!

In Kahn's view, if that pesky Colin can be named Viscount, then should the Sudor family's knighthood also be promoted?

However, just as Kahn was waiting expectantly for the canonization of the Duke, the Duke inserted the long sword in his hand into the marble floor under his feet and questioned Kahn:

"Knight Kahn, tell me, what is loyalty?"

"What?" Kahn looked up stupidly and looked at the Duke of St. Hilde blankly.

The crowd watching the ceremony suddenly quieted down.

Kahn's sister, Cynthia Sudor, who was called a "crazy woman" by Colin, was also startled by the duke's questioning.

Her hands clenched instantly, instinctively aware that something was wrong.

Colin squeezed the parchment in his hand and looked at the silly Kahn in the field. He seemed to wake up suddenly, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Loyal...loyal...of course...that is..."

"What is it?"

The Duke of St. Hilde's face was stern, and his arrow-like gaze seemed to have penetrated the poor knight who was kneeling in front of him.

Under such gaze, Kahn felt nothing but a blank in his mind, and he didn't know what to say.

The Duke of St. Hilde's tone was extremely cold: "You asked Charles to give up the position of Marquis in public. Is it because of loyalty?"

It's over.

The Sudor family, it's over.

This is the thought in the hearts of all the nobles present.

Obviously, the Duke of St. Hilde is turning over the old account.

When Kahn was promoted by the Earl of Uman to question Marquis Charles, many people guessed that he would pay for it.

Now, the price has really come.

Kahn thought that he would be able to wipe out his previous offense by following Earl Uman.

But obviously, the Duke of St. Hilde has no plans to easily let the Sudor family go.

The face and glory of the Saint Hilde family cannot be trampled on by a little noble.

Of course, in fact, what really made Charles take the initiative to give up his title was the pressure of Marquis Garcia.

However, Marquis Garcia had enough confidence that the Duke's anger would not pour over him.

And Kahn Sudor, ho ho, he doesn't have this ability, so he can only become the object of the Duke's anger.

Kill the chicken and the monkey!

"Me……"

Looking at the wimpy Kahn, the Duke of St. Hilde sneered and suddenly said loudly: "Viscount Colin, what is loyalty?"

The eyes of the audience suddenly turned to Colin.

Colin was stunned but quickly stepped forward.

He seems to have a hunch about this.

"My Lord Duke, I think that loyalty means giving everything oneself unconditionally, regardless of the reason, regardless of right or wrong, regardless of gain or loss!"

"It doesn't matter what the reason is, it doesn't matter whether it is right or wrong, it doesn't matter whether it is right or wrong..." The Duke of St. Hilde chewed Colin's answer carefully, and a hint of appreciation and deep meaning flashed in his eyes.

Afterwards, he threw the long sword in his hand directly at Colin, and at the same time ordered: "Okay! Then I will order you now - immediately kill Kahn Sudor!"

"Yes!"

The nobles present still didn't react, even when Kahn himself was still kneeling on the ground in a daze, Colin had already caught the long sword thrown by the Duke.

Then, swipe it without hesitation!

"Huh!"

A flash of silver light flashed.

Blood splattered!
