Chapter 580: Caught again

Ryder took a deep breath as he got ready to speak.

"Actually, I came to know that you might have had a kid that you lost. And I wanted to know more about that so I could help you find it," he told the Vampire King.

"That doesn’t concern you. You can leave if you’re here for that," The Vampire King straight away refused to respond.

"So you really don’t want our help? Alright. If that’s what you want, then we’re done," Ryder said as he stood up, prepared to leave. "High Duke Magna, let’s leave."

High Duke Magna also stood up as he reached his hand towards Ryder and Rale while muttering, "Can’t believe we came all the way for this."

Rale also held the hand of Vampire King, and they were just about to leave when the Vampire King actually raised his hand as he yelled, "Wait!"

"I’m ready to tell you about it," he said.

"That’s good," Ryder said, smiling. "Now that wasn’t hard, was it?"

He freed the hand of High Duke Magna as he once again sat down.

"Tell me everything. And then I’ll tell you everything that I know. Who knows, our information might match," Ryder said, hoping that he’ll mention about falling in love with a Demon. If that were the case, it would be confirmed that Miyali is his daughter.

"Years ago, when I was young, I had a fight with my father, and I ran away from home. That’s how I met her. She had accidentally entered the Undead Region. The girl who was a Demon," the Vampire King said as he sighed.

"What happened next?" Ryder asked, calm on the outside but excited on the inside. It seemed like it was confirmed. The Vampire King was really in for some great news today.

"After that, one thing led to another, and I brought her back to my Palace and helped her disguise as a Vampire. She was my personal maid for the world but for me; she was my everything as before I knew it, I had fallen in love with her," the Vampire King described.

"Then?" Ryder asked, frowning.

"Then nothing. One day, she disappeared. The only thing I had was her letter in which she mentioned that she didn’t love me. She was only pretending to be close to me to save her life, and now that she had an opportunity, she was running away," the Vampire King said, sighing.

"This can’t be," Ryder muttered, frowning.

"That was also my reaction. I thought she was joking. I searched all around for her, but she was never found. It was clear that she had left. That’s when I thought that it was all over," the Vampire King said, shaking his head.

"Wait. So she didn’t mention she was pregnant in the letter? How do you know that you had a kid in that case?" Ryder asked again.

"I didn’t know it. My father told me when he was on his deathbed. Apparently it was all his trap. He knew what was happening and that I had fallen for her. She also found out that she wasn’t even a Vampire. What upset him even more was that she was carrying our baby... A hybrid," the Vampire King said, sighing.

"He forced her to run away and that if she told me, he was going to kill her son, which he didn’t believe worthy to be his grandson. By the time I knew it, it was too late. I even tried searching the Demon Realm for her when I found out the truth. But to no avail," he said as he finished the story.

"So that’s what happened. I think I know about the woman you’re talking about. As for your kid, I know her too," Ryder told the Vampire King, accepting the truth.

"H-her? You mean I have a daughter? Where are they?" The Vampire King said as he stood up. In his excitement, he advanced towards Ryder, but High Duke Magna stepped in the middle of the two.

"Please keep your distance," he reminded the Vampire King.

"I’m sorry. I was a little overwhelmed," the Vampire King said as he sat down again.

"Don’t worry. It’s normal. I would have reacted the same if I was in your place," Ryder said as High Duke Magna stepped aside.

"So, how are my daughter and my wife? Can you take me to them so I could apologize?" Vampire King asked Ryder.

"I can take you to your daughter. She’ll be so happy to meet you. She was also searching for you for so long," Ryder said, smiling.

"Let’s leave. Come to our Place. I’ll help you meet your daughter," he further said as he stood up. "Also, bring your niece. If she’s here alone, the people who are after her can hurt her. It’s better if she stays with you."

Rale and the High Duke also stood up.

"Wait. You only mentioned meeting my daughter. What about my wife?" Vampire King asked, feeling like something was wrong with how Ryder was not talking about his wife.

"Your Wife... Actually, she is no more. From what I heard, she died during childbirth. Your daughter lived with her grandfather in her young days. But something happened, and her grandfather was killed," Ryder said as he started explaining.

" She was also on the verge of being killed. That’s when I met her and saved her. She told me everything about how she was a hybrid. Since then, she has been living in my Palace safely."

" I didn’t know she was your daughter. It was only recently when Rale told me about the rumor of you having a kid that you lost. That’s when I thought of the possibility of you being her father. I came here right away to confirm," He further said. "Come to my Palace so that a daughter can meet her father."

"Demon King, I still can’t believe if what you’re saying is true or not, but if it’s true, you’ll have my eternal undying gratitude for saving my daughter," the Vampire King said, looking emotional. There was also sadness on his face as he found out about the death of his wife.

"You’ll see it’s true when you see her. I’ll wait for you," Ryder said as he disappeared with Rale as High Duke Magna used his strength.

"I’ll come right behind you," the Vampire King muttered as he clenched his fist. He started going to get her niece to come with her.

...

High Duke Manga appeared in the Demon Realm Royal Palace with Ryder.

"So that’s what the purpose of the meeting was. Your maid is the Vampire King’s daughter. That’s surprising. Even I didn’t expect that. But this is good. She is loyal to you, and Vampire King will be loyal to her. Indirectly, he will be loyal to us. This is very good," High Duke Magna acknowledged as he praised Ryder.

"But next time you should tell us if there’s something like this. Anyway, Vampire King should be coming here anytime soon. I’ll bring other High Dukes here for when he comes," he further said as he disappeared.

"This was good. The Vampire King is Miyali’s daughter. I can’t wait to see her expression when she finds out. Rale, bring Miyali here. Also, where’s Miku? I hadn’t seen her all day?" Ryder asked as he noticed the absence of the Head Maid.

"She should be in the Palace too. I’ll bring both of them here," Rale said as he left.

Ryder also started waiting as he hoped that the Vampire King wouldn’t delay too much. He needed to be on the flight in the morning. He couldn’t sit here all day long.

Rale came back with Miku and Miyali. High Duke Oris also came with Miyali since he was already here, hiding.

"So, High Duke Oris, did someone suspicious come?" Ryder asked the High Duke.

"None at all," the High Duke replied.

The other High Dukes also came soon after.

Miyali was standing in the room where she wondered why she was called here. So many influential people were here. Was something important going to happen?

It was also when the Vampire King entered the Palace.

Ryder was surprised at how fast he had come. Maybe because he wanted to meet his daughter as soon as he could?

But what surprised him even more was the person who he was grabbing by the neck.

Wasn’t this the player who was sent to kill the niece of the Vampire King last time?

"This guy came to kill my niece last time. I killed him. Surprisingly he came back to life. I noticed him roaming near your Palace. What do you think about him?" The Vampire King asked Ryder.

"Ah, he must be the infiltrator that was here to kill Miyali this time. I guess they didn’t expect he’ll meet you again," Ryder said, laughing.

"Let me take care of it," he said as he stood up with the Moon Scythe in his hand.
