"Why?" Sitting on her mother's lap, Fu Mian whines. Nobody said anything during breakfast. "Why can't we go with you, Daddy?"
"Not safe." Fu Sheng pinches her cheek. "Be good and stay with your mother."
Fu Mian wants them to live together. Now that her mother is here, her father is going away. Why does this keep happening? "When will you come back?"
"It will take a few days." He answers her, "Don't ever get out of the castle. If someone tries to take you away, bite your finger and feed him your blood."
The eight noble vampires swallow hard. Did the king just give her permission to incinerate them?
"I won't hurt my uncles." Fu Mian frowns at him. "Daddy, you have to hurry back home as soon as possible."
"I will do my best." He pecks her head. Then, he looks at Huang Qiuyan who is gazing back at him with sadness in her eyes. "Will you wait for me here?"
