The First Vampire Chapter 38

Chapter 38 038 Banquet 3

As the melodious music resonated in the hall, many couples started dancing in the ballroom.

They danced the most orthodox court dance in Radiant Empire.

It was similar to the Viennese waltz on Earth.

The male and female partners need to borrow each other's strength to complete a series of turns, swings, and spins while ensuring that they were in harmony and quick. The entire dance steps were light, smooth, and elegant.

In such a fast rotation, everything around them would become blurry. Only the faces of the partners in each other's arms could remain clear.

Spin, spin, and spin again.

It was as if they were going to spin forever with the person in their arms.

However, the music would eventually end.

The song ended.

Colin completed the final turn with Vera, who weighed nearly nothing.

Then, he reluctantly withdrew his right hand that was supporting Vera's smooth back, stepped back slightly, and bowed.

“Thank you, Miss Vera. This is the most unforgettable dance I've ever had!”

Cove

Vera's little face was still red, and she was slightly panting as if she had not recovered from the dance just now. Hearing Colin's flattery, she smiled slyly. “Knight Colin, why do I feel that you've said this to many girls before?”

Colin raised his head, not flustered at all.

He knew very well that at this time, what he should do was not to defend himself-he must make his move.

Therefore, he smiled and said, “Please believe me. From now on, I'll only say such things to you and only you!”

Sure enough. Vera found herself unable to resist Colin's straightforward words.

“Sweet nothings!” Vera rolled her eyes at Colin angrily, but there was an embarrassed smile on her face.

At this time, Colin could already feel the murderous gazes around him.

Obviously, after successfully becoming Vera's first dance partner, Colin had naturally become the public enemy of all the male nobles present.

However, he obviously did not care.

He was not letting go of Vera, this thick pillar of support, anytime soon!

That was because he had already seen Earl Oman's figure in the crowd.

The fear of being assassinated instantly enveloped Colin's heart, forcing him to think of ways to raise his own status, so that the other party would not act rashly.

After sending Vera back to Marquis Garcia's side, Colin politely took his leave.

He understood the principle of going too far. At this time, it would be foolish to stick around Vera.

However, before he could walk far, a young man stepped in front of Colin, blocking him.

Huh?

Who sent the supporting character to faceslap him so quickly?

Colin's thoughts ran wild as he smiled politely. “May I ask who are you?”

The young man smiled coldly. “Knight Colin, I heard that you used my identity before. Why? Don't tell me you don't recognize me?”

Colin was slightly stunned and immediately realized who the person in front of him was.

No wonder he looked a little familiar. He looked as annoying as that crazy woman.

They were siblings; no mistake at that.

“So it's Knight Kahn Surdo! I've long heard of you!” Colin said that he had long heard of him, but there was not a hint of respect in his expression.

Obviously, Kahn was very unhappy with Colin. He said in a sarcastic tone, “Knight Colin, tell me. If the honorable Miss Vera knew that the knight who just danced with her is actually a liar, how would she react?”

Faced with Kahn's threat, Colin shrugged as if he did not care at all. “Why don't you try that and see how it plays out?”

Kahn's face suddenly darkened. He was not sure whether Colin really had nothing to fear or he was just pretending.

However, before he could continue to probe, he heard Colin suddenly lower his voice and say, “But if I were you, I'd care for your good sister first.”

“What's wrong with my elder sister?”

Seeing that the man had taken the bait, Colin chuckled and tried to provoke him.

“You should know that the one who really leads the army to reclaim Ice Rock City is your sister, Knight Cynthia. Therefore, according to the laws of the Surdo family, shouldn't she be the one to inherit the title of the Surdo family, and not you?”

“Nonsense!” Kahn was like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on. He was instantly enraged. “I'm the first in line to inherit the Surdo family!”

“You'd better save these words for the Duke of St. Hilde.” Colin spread his hands, indicating that this matter had nothing to do with him.

This look of wanting to be beaten up made Kahn almost unable to control his anger. He stared fiercely at Colin and panted heavily.

It was as if he wanted to beat up this extremely detestable fellow in front of him.

Soon enough, Kahn quieted down because he felt a palm pressing down on his shoulder.

Kahn turned his head, and his expression immediately became extremely respectful. “Uncle!”

Colin's pupils instantly contracted as he looked at the person who came. It was Earl Oman.

“Earl, sir.” Colin carefully lowered his head, not wanting Earl Oman to see the hidden fear in his eyes.

Earl Oman was a mature and elegant middle-aged man. There was always a faint smile on his face as if he was polite to everyone.

However, his wine-red eyes revealed a hint of coldness from time to time, which showed that this earl was not a kind and good person.

“Colin, I'm so happy to see that you're okay!” Earl Oman patted Colin's shoulder gently, his face sporting a sincere smile. “I heard that someone tried to assassinate you in Graycastle. What happened? Who is bold enough to do that?”

Colin raised his head and put on a friendly smile. “The assassin was Knight Carter. As for who was behind him… It's still under investigation.”

“Carter?” Earl Oman snorted and said angrily, “That ungrateful wretch is really a disgrace to the knights of the world! Don't worry, I'll send someone to investigate this matter. If there's any news, I'll definitely inform you.”

“Thank you very much for your help, Earl!” Colin looked at the righteous earl in front of him and suddenly felt that this earl's acting skills were probably not inferior to that of Marquis Charles.

Earl Oman smiled and continued to chat with Colin for a while like a friendly elderly.

Colin also handled the conversation carefully too, as though he had never suspected that his assassination was related to the earl in front of him.

Before he left, Earl Oman lowered his voice again and asked, “Did you and Marquis Charles agree to wear armor together to the banquet?”

“No, it's just a coincidence.” Colin was a little puzzled as to why Earl Oman would suddenly ask this.

Earl Oman said meaningfully, “Oh, that's good. However, you also have to be careful not to get too close to Marquis Charles.”

“Why?” Colin asked directly.

Earl Oman did not answer, but Knight Kahn, who was beside him, criticized arrogantly.

“Idiot! Marquis Charles suffered such a terrible defeat this time and lost 200,000 Northern Territory troops. Do you want to take responsibility for this? You still dare to get close to him…”

“Shut up!” Earl Oman roared while attempting to suppress his voice.

Knight Kahn immediately shrank and turned into a meek quail again. Earl Oman turned his head and said to Colin, “Remember, the one we're loyal to will always be Duke St. Hilde, not some marquis.”

Watching Earl Oman leave, Colin suddenly narrowed his eyes.

Only then did he realize that tonight's banquet seemed to be brewing a dangerous undercurrent.
