Changqing, the emperor's adjutant, approached Caspar. "Your Grace, His Majesty requests your presence."
The somber Duke Caspar remained silent, merely glancing at him coldly before following him to the drawing room.
Years ago, he had found his son for a time, only to discover that the man was an imposter! Enraged, Duke Caspar had all of the imposter's accomplices killed.
The adjutant felt a chill run down his spine. Duke Caspar was no ordinary man; his family possessed a hereditary prayer technique, a passive form that was said to be able to bring the dead back to life, but that was just a rumor and not necessarily true.
Upon arriving at the secret reception room and seeing Ris, Duke Caspar snorted coldly and sat down opposite him, completely disregarding royal etiquette.
"Your Grace, I have no intention of plotting against you. I always keep my word. I have already identified three people for you, and your son is definitely among them."
When Caspar saw the page with the Yuze Hu'er on the file, his finger paused slightly. It looked too much like it...!
He slowly began, "This Yuze Hu'er, is he a singer? Why have I never seen any information about him, nor heard any of his songs?"
After a moment's thought, Ris quickly gave him an answer, "I remember that His Majesty the Duke had a fake son by his side during that time, so he neglected to pay attention to the outside world."
Hearing this, Caspar nodded slowly, then asked, "Logically speaking, someone so similar, and a singer/celebrity, shouldn't be someone I don't know..."
Ris: "I regret to inform you that all his music and works were later removed from the entire internet, and even removed from the source. Even if someone else downloaded them, they would be deleted from the root."
I want to see this person.
Are you sure?
Caspar's eyes were resolute; this was definitely his son!
Ris didn't hide anything from him, "This is my niece-in-law's father, the very famous Emilia's father recently. I think you should have heard of him."
Caspar knew this, of course; if it weren't for the age discrepancy, he would have already paid a visit to Quinn's house.
"So, you mean, Emilia could be my grandson." The gloom around Caspar seemed to dissipate, and his overall demeanor improved considerably.
Then, Ris told him another piece of news, " Emilia and Quinn will be getting married in two weeks. Before that, I hope you can finalize things as soon as possible."
Duke Caspar's black leather-gloved hands clenched slightly as he stood up. "Arrange a meeting for me. I hope His Majesty will keep his word."
The mermaid's azure eyes crinkled with laughter as she watched Caspar's departing figure, and she chuckled softly, " Andy, don't you think I'm a little too lucky?"
Andy nodded. "Indeed, His Majesty is indeed a mermaid; he's always very lucky."
Ris recalled the struggle for the throne among more than a dozen princes and princesses in the palace. Some died, some were injured, and some were crippled. He did nothing but try to survive, but he was poisoned. Although he was saved, he was still shaken by the experience.
Because of this incident, he had to fight his brothers and sisters, eventually carving out a bloody path for himself.
Ris chuckled softly. " Andy, help me to bed tonight."
Upon hearing this, Andy's throat instantly became dry and tight. "Your Majesty, you're past the age of being spoiled. Go to sleep by yourself."
"No, Andy dares to disobey me! Guards! Take him away..."
noon
When Lia received news of a distinguished guest's visit, she quickly came to a conclusion upon learning that it was the legendary Duke Caspar.
Even before he was mired in the Quinn family's quagmire, he had Quinn give him all the ministers' information.
He had read the novel "The True and False Young Masters" by Ancient Blue Star, so it wasn't hard to guess the purpose of this "vampire" duke's visit.
He instructed the new steward to entertain the guests, and after dressing himself properly, he went to call Quinn out.
Quinn was in good spirits, and Lia was helpless. Although her Breathing Technique was very powerful, she couldn't resist the repeated soul resonance and mental resonance that Quinn gave her.
The two went down to the living room
The moment Lia saw Duke Caspar, an inexplicable sense of closeness welled up within her.
Lia: "..." Oh no, it seems to be true. No way, such a melodramatic thing actually happened to his father.
He gently touched his forehead, almost wanting to laugh.
Quinn, being Spiritual Power connected to his wife, naturally knew she wanted to laugh at that moment, and gently took her hand.
However, he would not neglect to show due respect to his elders, saying, "Welcome Duke Caspar as our guest."
Without needing to be told, the butler had already set out tea and pastries.
Caspar was also stunned by the sight; it smelled very sweet.
Is this natural food?
Lia: "Welcome, Duke Caspar."
He looked at Caspar, who was now sitting on the sofa in the living room. His pair of bright red eyes were very beautiful, like rubies.
His thick, short white hair was styled into a side-parted slicked-back look, adding a touch of authority and strength to his otherwise delicate features.
He really is so handsome!
Lia's eyes showed admiration.
Caspar also met Emilia's gaze. At first, his brow furrowed slightly, wondering if the child was malnourished or if her frame was too small.
Then he thought again, how tall could a little golden hamster be? His worries subsided. Dressed in a well-tailored white suit, he suddenly stood up, nodded to Quinn, and then walked up to Emilia.
He got straight to the point. "Hello, Emilia, I'm sure you can guess why I've come."
Lia: "..." If he weren't so quick-witted and didn't know anything about Caspar, he probably wouldn't have guessed it at all...
Knowing she could only be obedient in front of her senior, Lia nodded. "I need to ask my father about this first. I understand your feelings, and I also want to protect him. If genetic testing is really necessary, I hope it can be done at a hospital under Quinn's name. What do you think?"
He knew that Caspar's fake son had bribed the people who conducted the genetic tests to deceive Caspar, and to be on the safe side, he was also worried that Caspar might have been used or that there was some kind of conspiracy.
In short, if we're being precise, there shouldn't be any problems.
Caspar nodded slowly, confident, because he could also feel a sense of familiarity from Lia.
There's no need to go to the hospital; Quinn had Mo Ran bring the person over.
Standing on the parking lot, Yuze Hu'er, looked at the glittering "Gem City" and couldn't help but smile with a mix of helplessness and indulgence. " Quinn really spoils Lia too much."
Mo Ran preferred understated and elegant places, but his sudden visit to his boss's house almost blinded him with the dazzling jewels. "Yes, boss is so tacky."
Hu'er walked briskly through the villa gate on his first visit to his son's home, but the figure that came into his view made his blood run hot.
An extremely complex emotion forced him to stop.
With the same snow-white hair, and aside from the pupils, Yuze Hu'er almost certainly indicated that this person might indeed be related to him by blood.
But Lia was playing dumb, not telling him who she was coming to see. He wasn't stupid; he figured out the situation—it was about to be a family reunion.
Although he was panicking inside, he maintained his composure in front of his son.
Lia, who was also looking forward to the meeting of the two, watched with great interest from behind Quinn.
