Those words shook her for a moment. She didn’t expect him to be so attached to his daughter even though he doesn’t have one. He doesn’t know the reason why he is so attached.

But she felt happy hearing this. Because now she has a little bit of confidence after meeting him.

“But, I have a question in my mind. Do you mind if I ask?” Adam suddenly spoke and her eyes narrowed a bit. She shook her head soon and he continued.

“When Alexa was small, she loved me a lot. It was just how to like how a child should love their parents. But, from the moment she grew up and her mother went into a coma, she started hating me.”

“But, in her eyes, I was still her father. At least until when I pushed her to death. After that everything changed, she didn’t even think of me as a person in her family. She thinks of me as her enemy.”

“I am not saying that you would have such an idea, but would she truly love him if she doesn’t meet him for a long time? After all, she is just a kid. She might get curious for a while but her love won’t be pure and this will definitely make him sad, especially with how much he loves his future daughter.”

ɴ(O)ᴠᴇʟ “How do you expect to handle this? The more you wait, the worse it will get. Unless, you can make your daughter truly want to find him, her love for her father won’t grow.”

Hearing his words, Lucy closed her eyes. This question almost shook her entirely. She didn’t know how to reply. Her body slowly floated towards the sky and the next moment, she disappeared.

Adam glanced at the sky and sighed.

……._{-ɴ(0)ᴠᴇʟ.}

After a few seconds, Lucy reached her mansion. She found Ely playing with Alisha. She stared at her daughter for a long time. Finally, something came to her mind and she started treating her daughter differently.

She became a little harsh on her daughter, and never talked about her father. Ely also realized this and slowly, she started doubting that her mother won’t let her meet her father.

This discovery made her stunned and sad. She was only six years old. She wanted to find her father but she didn’t have a single way and now her mother also doesn’t talk a single thing about her father.

So, she decided to find out about her father by herself. She didn’t get the opportunity until she reached seven.

Because during this time, she was taught about computers and technology. As a fast learner, she managed to find out about her father quickly and decided to leave the mansion on her own and find her father.

On the day she found out about him, Lucy went for a closed training session. And, Ely successfully sneaked out of the mansion. Of course, it wasn’t because she was good at it but rather nobody stopped her.

When she left the mansion, there was a figure watching over her from the top of the mansion. Behind this figure, Alisha was on one knee.

“Queen, is it really okay to let her leave like this?”

The figure was none other than Lucy. She didn’t go for a closed training session. She was just hiding from Ely. Looking at her daughter, she sighed. _{ɴ(O)ᴠᴇʟ}

“Ely never got to see her dad. If I go with her right now, her relationship with him will not be that close. She might even see some conflict between us after all, he won’t accept me that easily.”

“That’s why I want Ely to go there alone. I want her to meet her father and have fun with him. I want her to find out what kind of father she has. After hiding about her father for three years, her curiosity about him has grown a lot.”

“And, now she also knows something about him, she should have already prepared how she is going to face him.”

Hearing her words, Alisha stayed silent for a moment.

“Queen, when will you meet him?”

When she heard this question, Lucy got lost in deep thoughts. She shook her head and said.

“I am not ready. Once I meet him, even if he won’t love me, at least, I don’t want him to hate me. But, I can’t tell him the truth right now. I need some time.”

Saying so, she sighed. She really wants to meet him. She really wants to be with him all the time. But even with her strength, there are things that she can’t do.

Even as the strongest person, she is helpless when it comes to love. She failed to keep her promise once.

……….

Now, she failed to keep it again.

Her hand locked his neck. Lucard couldn’t even move properly. He didn’t even try to struggle rather he was simply trembling. At this moment, he couldn’t help but feel regret.

His eyes turned at the elders who were just bowing their heads with no intention to help. Suddenly, he closed his eyes and remembered something.

………

“Elder, what do you mean? I won’t touch her daughter. She will kill me.” Lucard shook his head frequently and denied the idea of two elders.

“Lucard, we know that she is strong but even she is bound by the rules. You have nothing to worry about. And, we are not telling you to touch her daughter. Just use your blood aura and kidnap her.”

“She is living with a human. You would have no problem kidnapping her. And, if you do successfully, we can keep her in our control. Her daughter is her weak point.” The male elder tried to convince him.

But, Lucard shook his head and said “Elder, she might be her weakness but she is also her reverse scale. If I damage her even a little, she will kill me. No, I can’t do this.”

“Lucard, you are the Lord of the Dorth Family. She is the lord of the Bathory family. Why are you so coward? If you can’t even face her properly, you aren’t worthy to become our lord.” The female elder roared at him and tried to intimidate him.

“Elder, don’t try to frighten me. Just because I am scared of her doesn’t mean I am scared of you.” Suddenly, Lucard released his powerful bloodline pressure and tried to intimidate them.

“That means you don’t mind other lords watching this video.” Suddenly, the male elder took out a phone and played a video. In that video, Lucard was just a kid and he was severely getting punched by Lucy.

“You!” Lucard’s eyes shrunk. He clenched his fist as his furious pressure burst out of him. That was his weak point and also the reason why he feared Lucy so much.

He didn’t expect the elders to have this video. If it goes out, he will be a laughing stock because, in this video, he even begged to become Lucy’s pet if she stops beating him.

“Lucard, she is a key part of our plan. We need her at any cost. So, either go and kidnap her or let us show this video to everyone.” The male elder didn’t get intimidated by his pressure and tried to threaten him.

Lucard clenched his fist furiously and after a long hour of talk, he finally agreed. But, he was still unwilling to do this.

……….

When he remembered how he was threatened to do this, he gathered his courage and finally spoke.

“Lucy, I know my fate. I know I shouldn’t have kidnaped her. But, there is still one thing that I want to do as a Lord.”

His eyes turned at the elders, and he took out a drop of blood from his finger. The blood shot towards those elders and suddenly stamped a symbol on their forehead.

“For conspiring the death of Dorth Lord, I hereby declare you as the Sinners.”

When they heard his words, they immediately tried to remove the symbol. Lucard then turned at Lucy and said “It was them who told me to do this. Can you please take a step back?”

Hearing his words, Lucy closed her eyes for a moment. A few seconds later, she opened her eyes and said “From the beginning I knew, it wasn’t you. After that day, you never got the courage to enrage me.”

“But, I made a promise. And, you are the reason why I couldn’t keep it for the second time. Sorry, but from tomorrow, Dorth Family will have a new lord.”

Splash!

The next moment, his body suddenly flew towards her. She kicked his leg and broke them. She put her hand on his hair and pulled it out. The next moment, his entire head came out and the blood dropped all over her body.

She turned and looked at the elders. When they saw her eyes, one of them shouted.

“Wait, you can’t do this. We are the Elders.”

“I promised that I will kill anyone who tries to have bad thoughts about my family. But, you two crossed the line.”

Splash! Splash!
