Chapter 20: Kallen Is Actually His Daughter!
Editor: Atlas Studios
After being rejected by his former supporter, Manstein suffered a huge mental blow.
He did not expect Marquis Bruno to be so heartless as to chase him out without even giving him a chance to continue begging.
However, Fang Ping, who was beside Manstein, roughly knew what was going on with Marquis's choice.
The other party probably suspected that Count Bruno's death was related to the people in Manstein Castle.
When the two returned to the Count's castle, Manstein was completely disheartened.
As soon as he returned, he locked himself in his bedroom, looking like he was waiting for death.
No matter how Fang Ping tried to persuade him, Count Manstein could no longer pull himself together.
Unexpectedly, Fang Ping suddenly received a system notification.
"Ding! Level three investment potential detected. Mission target: Do your best to save Count Manstein."
Fang Ping was very surprised and puzzled when he received this notification.
What was going on?
Why was the system so insistent on investing in Count Manstein?
The other party was about to die but the system was unwilling to let him give up on Manstein.
Fang Ping could not figure it out.
But no matter what, this was a good thing.
Fang Ping himself could not give up on rescuing Manstein. Now that he had the system's mission, he could even gain some benefits.
After thinking for a moment, the only way Fang Ping could think of to save Count Manstein was the royal sacred medicine of the vampires!
Back then, the pressure of the Giant Tribe was also heavily injured and on the verge of death. Then, they were saved by the royal sacred medicine.
After confirming his target, Fang Ping immediately rushed back to the Imperial City and went straight to the Imperial Palace to seek Kallen's help.
Kallen was the only member of the royal family Fang Ping knew. Moreover, this kind of royal sacred medicine could only be obtained from Kallen.
Upon seeing Kallen, Fang Ping immediately explained his intentions.
At this moment, he was still a little nervous, worried that Kallen would reject him.
In the past year, he had not met Kallen many times. Kallen's status in the race was getting higher and higher, so it was inevitable that her personality would change.
Fang Ping was not naive enough to think that the current Kallen had not changed at all. She was definitely different from that little princess he had saved in the wild.
Unexpectedly, Kallen readily agreed to Fang Ping's request.
Moreover, it did not take long for her to bring the medicine over. Fang Ping was very grateful for this.
"Kallen, thank you for your help. I'll remember this forever!"
Kallen smiled.
"Haha, you don't have to be so polite with me. If it weren't for you back then, I might have died in the stomach of a demon beast."
"Hurry up and save him!"
Fang Ping nodded. He had no time to rest at all. He rushed back to Count Manstein's castle without stopping.
At this moment, Manstein had already entered a coma due to his injuries and the exhaustion of his stamina from rushing back and forth to Marquis Manstein's castle.
His life was in danger. Fang Ping's previous estimation had been too optimistic. He could not live for more than a few days!
He might not even see the sun tomorrow!
Fang Ping quickly fed Manstein the royal sacred medicine in his hand.
Then, he waited nervously for the drug to take effect and fell asleep unknowingly.
At noon the next day, Fang Ping felt something. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the bed beside him.
He saw Manstein's eyes wide open, looking at him in surprise.
Manstein was so excited that he couldn't control his emotions.
"Fang Ping, what's going on? Has my body recovered? I'm not dead!
"I thought I was definitely going to die yesterday. What did you do to help me?"
Fang Ping smiled. He did not tell Manstein about the royal sacred medicine.
He only said that he had found a divine doctor who had healed his injuries.
"Thank you so much. You've saved my life more than once. I don't know how to repay you!"
"Haha, there's no need to stand on ceremony with me. No matter what, I won't watch you die in front of me.
"How's your body feeling now?"
Manstein waved his hand.
"This is amazing! I feel like I've been reborn!"
As he spoke, Manstein was moved to tears. He truly regarded Fang Ping as his confidant.
Although the two of them did not belong to the same race, Manstein would not care about this at all.
To him, Fang Ping was not only his savior, but also his friend and confidant.
"Fang Ping, you've done so much for me. I'm willing to tell you everything about me, including the secrets that I've been hiding in my heart for many years!
"Furthermore, after this incident, I'm worried that if I don't tell these secrets to someone quickly, I'll really bring them to my grave!"
What Manstein said next completely shocked Fang Ping. He finally began to understand.
Why did the system favor such a vampire count so much?
Over and over again, it was determined that Manstein had investment potential, and it was always level two or level three investment potential!
"Fang Ping, you must have wondered why I haven't had a partner after living for so long, right?
"Actually, I once had a lover, and she was a member of the royal family.
"Although we both knew that our love was not allowed in the eyes of the royal family, because we were truly in love, we hid the secret together.
"We even gave birth to a cute daughter together. I named her Kallen!"
Hearing the last two words, Fang Ping's heart skipped a beat.
He subconsciously asked, "Kallen? Could it be that Princess Kallen?"
Manstein seemed very surprised by Fang Ping's reaction.
"Yes, the princess of the royal family. Have you heard of Kallen? She seems to be doing well. That's a relief."
At this moment, Fang Ping's emotions were extremely complicated.
He never expected that the girl he saved back then was actually Manstein's daughter.
He had even saved Manstein twice. He was really fated with this father and daughter.
With that, Fang Ping understood why Kallen, as one of the direct members of the royal family, had an unusually thin royal bloodline.
As a result, she was ostracized by other descendants of the royal family.
Her father was not a member of the royal family, so her bloodline was naturally thin!
