After chatting with Ke Er for a while, Shi Sheng was certain that Ke Er truly treated Mi Nai as his own child, so she couldn't help but become more docile and polite.
"Someone's pretending to be you?" Ke Er's expression immediately darkened when he heard Shi Sheng's reason for being barred from entering. "Who would have the guts to pretend to be you? I'll send someone to investigate right now."
"Godfather, don't worry. I can handle it myself."
"How can that be?" Ke Er was already getting angry.
"Godfather, you have to believe me." Shi Sheng looked at Ke Er. "I've already grown up."
Ke Er froze for a moment before bursting into laughter. "Alright, I'll do as you say. Godfather will back you up if anything happens."
Shi Sheng smiled but didn't say anything. After a few seconds, he said, "Godfather, be careful these days."
"Hm?"
"I'm not sure either. I'm worried that someone might do something in secret. It's never wrong to be careful."
Ke Er nodded, his expression turning serious. "You've heard about the election of a new king as well?"
Seeing Shi Sheng nod, Ke Er continued, "Us old fellows won't participate. The new king will be chosen from the younger generation. You're a purebred vampire, so you hold an important vote in your hands. If someone knows that you're back, they'll definitely come knocking on your door. Stay in the castle for the next few days. If there's anything you need, just tell Rui Yi to do it for you. "
Ke Er looked at Shi Sheng with pity. If her parents were still alive, she would also have a chance to participate in this election.
But without blood … even if she ascended to the throne, she wouldn't be able to go far.
"Will Rui Yi participate?" Shi Sheng didn't answer Ke Er's question and changed the topic without batting an eyelid.
"No." Ke Er turned behind the desk and sighed. "It's not that easy to sit on the throne."
Of course it wasn't that easy to sit on the throne.
Shi Sheng and Ke Er chatted for a bit before leaving the study and returning to their rooms.
The moment she entered the room, she was shocked by the room full of clothes.
What was all this for?
"Your Highness, you're back." A servant was tidying up the clothes when she saw Shi Sheng enter.
"These things …" Shi Sheng hesitated.
The servant smiled. "His Highness Rui Yi ordered them to be brought here. When Your Highness isn't here, His Highness Rui Yi will prepare clothes for you every month. There's every style."
Shi Sheng: "…" This disguise maniac.
There was barely any space left in her room.
"There's no need to tidy them up. Take them all out and prepare a few sets of the ones I'm wearing."
She didn't want to wear an exaggerated princess dress full of pink lace.
He would definitely be a hindrance in a fight.
The maid didn't ask much. She asked someone to take the clothes away, but she didn't take them away. Instead, she put them in the room next door.
Shi Sheng craned his neck to take a look. Immediately, he pulled his head back.
Can you imagine a room full of clothes?
If she opened an online shop, it would be enough for her to sell for a few years.
…
The Vampire Banquet would be held a month later. During these few days, vampire hunters and vampires from all over the world would rush over.
As the eldest son of the prince, Rui Yi was in charge of the safety of the banquet, so he spent very little time in the castle.
Shi Sheng heaved a sigh of relief. If this guy was in the castle, she would be tortured to death.
Shi Sheng stayed in the castle for a few days and didn't go anywhere.
When she woke up that day, she found that the servants in the castle were very busy.
"What are you doing?" Shi Sheng asked casually as he walked down the stairs.
"We have a guest coming today. The prince asked us to prepare."
"A guest? Who is it? "
The maid shook her head innocently. "I don't know."
Shi Sheng walked out of the castle just as Ke Er came in from outside.
"Godfather, you have a guest," Shi Sheng called out obediently.
Ke Er's face was cold. He didn't even look at Shi Sheng. He snorted coldly. "You said someone was impersonating you. Someone is coming today."
Shi Sheng blinked. He knew what Ke Er was talking about.
The woman who was impersonating her was coming.
But …
"Godfather, don't be angry. Let's see what she wants."
Ke Er patted Shi Sheng's head. He had raised his daughter for so many years. How could he not tell the difference between the real and the fake?
At noon, a car drove in from outside. Ke Er had instructed the servants in the castle not to show too many of them. Only a few of the calmer ones were left.
Therefore, the cute and lively maids gathered in Shi Sheng's room.
"Ah, she really looks like Your Highness?"
"Your Highness, what do you think she wants?"
"As a purebred vampire, Your Highness has a ring that represents her identity. That ring can't be duplicated. Let's see what she says later."
The maids were discussing fervently.
Shi Sheng stood by the window. The person downstairs had already entered the castle.
That woman was dressed similarly to her. Most people wouldn't be able to recognize her.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, hurry up. Let's go take a look." The maids opened the door and waved at Shi Sheng.
"What's there to see? I'm standing right here. Haven't you seen enough?" Shi Sheng raised his eyebrows and smiled wickedly.
The maids covered their mouths and laughed. "Your Highness, you're almost as narcissistic as Prince Rui Yi."
"Am I not good-looking?"
"Yes, yes. Your Highness is the most good-looking," the maids agreed.
Their Highness was truly good-looking.
In the end, Shi Sheng couldn't dissuade these maids who had lived for hundreds of years but were still as curious as newborn babies. Thus, he was escorted by them to take a look at the imposter.
Ke Er received them in the castle's guest hall. Shi Sheng and the others were standing in the corner of the second floor, so they could see the scene below.
Ke Er sat in the main seat and stared expressionlessly at the woman across from him.
Ling Xiang's hands tightened on her lap as she considered her words. "Godfather …"
Slap! Ke Er slapped the table angrily. "So you still know to come back."
Ling Xiang trembled. Didn't they say Prince Ke Er doted on Mi Nai?
What was going on?
Was he angry because Mi Nai had left the clan?
Ling Xiang calmed down and lowered her head in guilt. "Godfather, this child is unfilial. Please don't be angry."
Ke Er harrumphed coldly. "Do you know how much damage you've caused to our family by running away?"
Running away?
What the hell?
She didn't understand at all.
Master didn't say anything about this!
But Ke Er couldn't be spouting nonsense, right? Could it be that this was done in secret and outsiders didn't know about it?
That was very likely. After all, Mi Nai was adopted, not Ke Er's biological daughter.
Ling Xiang's mind filled in the blanks, and she thought she understood the truth.
She had come here to gain Ke Er's trust, so if she didn't answer, she would definitely arouse suspicion. Thus, Ling Xiang could only grit her teeth and reply, "Godfather, I know I've wronged you, but this concerns my lifelong happiness. No matter what, I have to fight for it …"
Ke Er's expression turned even colder.
The group of people standing on the second floor suppressed their laughter.
The prince was too good at tricking people.
Since when did Her Highness have an engagement?
According to Prince Rui Yi and the prince's intentions, they wanted nothing more than to raise Her Highness in this castle for the rest of her life.
