The sound of the door lock twisting and opening was particularly loud in the silent night.
A little boy with blond hair and eyes was originally lying on the sofa, half asleep, but at this time he turned over and sat up, his face full of excitement and happiness, and he ran towards the door with a glare.
The door opened, and a blonde woman wearing a lilac court dress walked in, she was bright and moving, tall, with two inconspicuous blushes on her face, and a dignified smile with a little charm.
"Edward, you haven't slept yet?" The mature and beautiful lady saw the little boy running towards her, clearly showing a surprised expression.
The little boy smiled slightly shyly and said, "Mom, I want to wait for you to come back......"
Suddenly, his words stopped abruptly, because he saw a tall man standing behind his mother, his facial features were like knives, handsome and cold, like an iceberg that would never melt for thousands of years, and he had a very special short silver white hair.
The man suddenly appeared with a gentle smile, like spring had arrived, the ice and snow melted, he took the blonde lady's hand, bowed and kissed: "It is my honor to know you, I wish you a good dream tonight."
"I'm also very happy to meet you, Viscount." The blonde lady smiled and responded, watching the man in formal attire leave.
「…… Mom, who is he?" The little boy Edward didn't know why he hated the man just now.
"Well, a foreign viscount I met at today's ball, surnamed Karen Erdia." The blonde lady pretended to answer plainly, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up, and then her pretty face stiffened, "Edward, it's almost twelve o'clock now, two hours more than normal sleep time, where is Adeline? I'm going to ask her why she agreed to you waiting for me! You are the only remaining direct blood of this family, so you can't be too willful."
"I, I sneaked out of the room, it's none of Adeline's business......" The little boy Edward looked pitiful, knowing that his mother was just teaching himself a lesson.
……
"Young master, maybe you will have a new father." A maid whispered to Edward, who had grown a lot taller.
In the past two years, his mother and the Viscount Karenerdia have become closer and closer, and it seems that there is really a tendency to be together.
"Although the master has worked hard to support the family after being called by the Lord, and the pursuit of his own happiness should be blessed, young master, you must remember that you are the only heir to the title and inheritance, and you cannot let Viscount Karen Erdia transfer the property little by little." The maid, loyal to the family, reminded Edward to take precautions.
Edward blurted out: "He approached my mother for money and title? No, I have to stop him!"
After saying that, the boy kicked and ran towards the hall, leaving the stunned maid, I, I just want to remind you that I don't mean that.
"Woo, Mom, I was wrong, I shouldn't be rude to the viscount!" It didn't take long for Edward's cry to come from the living room, and he was pressed down on the sofa by his mother, who was beaten hard on the buttocks, crying so badly.
The blonde lady snorted and said apologetically to the iceberg-like Viscount Karenerdia: "I'm sorry, I didn't teach the child well."
"It's nothing, children of this age are so naughty." Viscount Karen Ardia said with a gentle gaze.
"Edward, apologize to the viscount quickly." The blonde lady ordered.
Edward choked and apologized, and then took advantage of his mother's inattention, made a fierce appearance, and said very quietly: "I won't let you take my mother away!"
Viscount Karenaldia still had no expression, like looking at a kitten with teeth and claws but no actual deterrent.
……
"From now on, you will be called Viscount Dad." The blonde lady said to Edward a little shyly.
Edward pouted, trying to keep himself expressionless: "Yes, Mom."
Viscount Karenerdia, who was sitting across from the table, cut the bloody steak and said to Edward seriously like a real father: "Your current knight teacher is not good enough, I will teach you personally starting tomorrow."
「…… I will definitely work hard." Edward quietly clenched his fists and vowed to make the damn man angry in training.
……
Pop, Edward was thrown to the ground and cried in pain.
"If crying is useful, what do you need swordsmanship for?" Viscount Karun Erdia said without the slightest regret, "So, you are just a child, not a man, and a real man will not cry even if he bleeds."
Edward turned over and stood up, staring at him viciously.
Viscount Karenerdia waved the wooden sword in his hand: "Don't you hate me? Aren't you trying to drive me away? Then finish it with the knight's sword in your hand! Or are you a coward who likes to fail?"
Edward let out a fierce yell, raised his wooden sword and rushed towards Viscount Karenerdia, being knocked to the ground again and again, and standing up again and again.
"I won't compromise with you!" He thought so.
……
On the church square, a cross stands there, on which a mature and beautiful blonde lady is tied.
"Mom! Mom!" Edward, under the control of several knights' attendants, struggled hard towards the cross, his face full of tears and horror.
The bishop held the Holy Emblem of Truth, drew a cross on his chest, pointed to the blonde lady and said, "As a nobleman, she has fallen into darkness and become a slave of vampires, trying to turn the Lamb of the Lord into food for vampires."
The blonde lady, as if she had lost her soul, looked at the bishop blankly without saying a word, while Edward retorted loudly: "No! Without! My mother has never hurt anyone!"
The bishop completely ignored Edward and continued: "You are evil and dirty, but the Lord is merciful and merciful, and purification is His gift, your way to the kingdom of heaven.
"If, if I repent, can I get Edward an amnesty? He's just a kid and doesn't understand anything!" The blonde lady seemed to come to life.
The bishop drew a cross: "The Lord is just and strict, as long as Edward survives the burning, it means that he is not guilty."
The blonde lady laughed bitterly: "Hahaha, then I answer you, I would rather pursue hard in hell than go to heaven to lose myself!"
"Sinner, then go to hell and repent." The bishop's tone was cold, and a holy light was emitted, igniting the stake.
"No!" Edward cried bitterly, heart-wrenching, as if he could see the tender eyes looking at him through the blazing flames.
I don't know how long it took, Edward cried and fainted, and suddenly, a voice sounded in his ears: "I'm sorry, I'm late."
Edward struggled to open his eyes and saw the man who burned his mother to death, and he gritted his teeth and said: "It's all you! If it weren't for you, how could my mother be tied up at the stake!"
"I'm sorry, I'm late." Viscount Karenerdia's face was gloomy, like an iceberg with an avalanche.
"Late arriving?" Edward sneered beyond his age, "What a good reason!"
Then he spat out word by word: "You are the murderer who killed my mother!"
Viscount Karun Erdia sighed: "No matter what you say, I will take care of you."
He buried his head and leaned to Edward's neck, and his four teeth suddenly lengthened: "From now on, you will be Viscount Karen Erdia."
A tingling pain came from his neck, Edward's expression was numb, and his eyes were still full of sparks of hatred.
…………
The cold and dreamy silver moon hangs high in the sky, creating silver-white ripples on the smooth surface of the lake.
The blonde Viscount Karen Erdia held a red wine glass and stood quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, admiring the beautiful scenery.
"Master, do you remember the past again?" The old housekeeper, Ned, walked in from outside.
Viscount Karen Erdia nodded expressionlessly: "Hatred will never be forgotten."
The old butler didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only start from a practical point of view: "Master, you are just a great knight, and the old viscount's strength is close to that of an eighth-level heavenly knight."
"If you are not even afraid of death, what is there to be afraid of?" The handsome and masculine Viscount Karun Erdia suddenly smiled, "This kind of irresponsible man will be killed sooner or later, and I will also train myself, hoping to become a heavenly knight as soon as possible."
"But you are his descendant, and you have no intention of resisting him at all." Ned said again.
Viscount Karenerdia exhaled, did not continue the topic, turned around and entered a secret room, looked at the handsome man with silver hair and silver eyes on the portrait and said, "Grandpa, although I haven't seen you many times, I can feel your love, and I hope to follow you and get your guidance......"
After "praying", Viscount Karenerdia suddenly froze and saw an additional wine glass on the table, with a viscous red liquid in it, and countless symbols floating in it like hallucinations.
"This is?" He said in astonishment.
Old housekeeper Ned's eyes widened: "This is, this is the origin of the blood of the first generation of blood clans, old, the old Count has been here?"
"Grandpa?" Viscount Karenardia looked around, but unfortunately found nothing, but he quickly laughed, "As long as this blood is fused, I am not afraid that the man will suppress my bloodline."
The old housekeeper said helplessly: "The old count's hobbies and habits have not changed at all, how can this tragedy be interesting?"
"Kamorechuk, did you notice anything just now?" Viscount Karenaldia asked.
A dull buzzing sound sounded, as if driving the entire castle to shake: "No, it's just the nose, the nose is a little itchy, sneeze!"
It sneezed heavily, and the window glass ping-pong rattled.
Viscount Karun Ardia was silent for a moment, and said half-jokingly: "Grandpa impressed me the most that he liked to observe everything in secret, like a voyeur."
Sneeze!
Someone suddenly sneezed on the mountain in the distance.
