"A mere servant... What? Father, you agreed?"
Lias's beautiful eyes widened, her bat wings trembling slightly. She glanced at Kane in surprise. This is happening too fast, isn't it?
"You two, I've watched you grow up since childhood."
Kane shook his head, aware he didn't have much time left. His handsome, yet somewhat weathered face, turned to his beloved daughter, his voice full of indulgence. "Lias, in your heart, am I just an old-fashioned father? That would truly sadden me."
"N-no, not at all! Father, you've always been the one I admire most!"
Lias averted her gaze. She was still in her Blood Race form, her small, white, pointed fangs nibbling her cherry-pink lips. Chu Yi noticed this and thought to himself, Those fangs look sharp.
"Chu Yi."
Kane turned his head.
The young man in a Profound Robe stood up, straightened his back, and suppressed his irreverent thoughts, his expression serious. "Uncle Kane, please, go ahead."
