Looking at his daughter in the distance, Manstein could not take the initiative to reveal his true identity and acknowledge his daughter.
However, Manstein was already gratified and satisfied to see her again in his lifetime.
"Sigh, I didn't expect time to pass so quickly. I remember that the last time I saw her, she was only as tall as my thigh. She kept babbling all day."
"Now, she's already become a graceful young maiden."
Manstein said with a blissful smile.
"She'll definitely have a better life in the future."
"Haha, thank you for your blessings."
The two of them sat in the distance and watched as Kallen walked in the center of everyone's gazes with ease.
Wherever she went, she would make the place she was at the most dazzling place of this gathering.
At this moment, a young noble in gorgeous clothes suddenly appeared in front of Kallen. He knelt on one knee and stretched out his right hand.
"Honorable Princess Kallen, my name is Leon. I've long admired you and have finally obtained this opportunity today. Can you dance with me?"
Leon's father was a vampire marquis. Although he did not belong to the royal family, his status as a marquis was already noble enough.
Moreover, Leon had displayed astonishing cultivation talent since he was young. Now that he had already become a count at a young age, he was very famous in the entire vampire race.
Many people even thought that Leon might be the first person outside the royal family to become a duke expert!
Other than Kallen, Leon had the highest status in this gathering.
Therefore, as soon as he stood up, he immediately attracted the flattery and jeering of countless young nobles.
Many male nobles immediately began to beat their chests and stamp their feet. Like many others, Leon also wanted to woo Kallen. They definitely had no chance!
However, in the face of Leon's invitation, Kallen was not tempted at all.
She did not like to participate in such a noble gathering to begin with. Moreover, she had once been despised.
Unlike the other noble girls, Kallen knew very well what kind of people these so-called noble young masters were.
She was not interested in such rich playboys at all.
Therefore, Kallen said seriously.
"Young Master Leon, I appreciate your kindness, but I'm sorry, I have to reject your invitation."
"I have no intention of dancing today. We'll talk about it in the future."
After being rejected by the girl in public, Leon's face immediately turned ashen.
He was a playboy to begin with and had succeeded with countless girls. No one had ever rejected him.
However, today, Kallen had embarrassed him in front of so many people.
However, Leon still suppressed the dissatisfaction and anger in his heart and stood up with a fake smile.
"Hehe, that's a pity. Goodbye!"
Leon left the center of everyone's vision and returned to the booth he had been in previously. A group of "good brothers" immediately surrounded him.
They all accused Kallen of not knowing what was good for her.
"This Kallen is really too much. She actually dares to reject our Young Master Leon's invitation!"
"That's right. Our young master is really blind to have taken a fancy to such a woman!"
"Hehe, this woman is still pretending to be innocent here. She might already be in a mess in private. This kind of woman is not worthy of Young Master's attention!"
Leon looked at Kallen in the crowd with anger. Hearing his lackeys' words, he finally felt better.
At this moment, Kallen did not know what was wrong.
Her gaze seemed to be attracted by something and she suddenly looked at a dim corner of the gathering hall.
Something seemed to be attracting her there.
With curiosity in her heart, Kallen walked in that direction.
At this moment, Manstein had already begun to become nervous and even seemed somewhat at a loss.
"Fang Ping, what's going on? Why is Kallen walking in our direction? Could it be that she recognized me?! What should we do now?!"
Fang Ping did not expect this situation either and comforted him.
"Don't worry, it won't be a problem. Moreover, she was still young when you left. She probably won't be able to recognize you.
"Don't be nervous."
Finally, Kallen arrived in front of Fang Ping and Manstein.
She was somewhat surprised that Fang Ping had also appeared at this gathering.
What puzzled her even more was the old man beside Fang Ping.
For some reason, she felt that this person looked somewhat familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before!
Manstein's body was incomparably stiff at this moment and he could not say a word.
"Fang Ping, I didn't expect you to also come to this gathering. You didn't even tell me in advance. Otherwise, I would have asked you to come with me."
Kallen greeted Fang Ping first.
At this moment, Manstein was somewhat puzzled.
"You two know each other?"
He originally thought that Fang Ping had only heard of Kallen's name. He did not expect the two of them to not only know each other, but was even somewhat familiar with each other.
Fang Ping nodded.
"Yes, we had some small interactions previously and can be considered good friends."
Hearing this, Manstein was slightly relieved. He was somewhat worried that if the two of them knew each other, his identity would be exposed.
At this moment, Kallen's gaze landed on Manstein, who began to tense.
Suddenly, Kallen spoke.
"Sir, what's your name? Since you came with Fang Ping, you're also my friend."
Manstein stammered out his name.
Kallen then stretched out her fair right hand, and Manstein began to struggle.
It was not until Fang Ping gave him a reassuring look that he held his daughter's hand.
At this moment, Manstein was so excited that he almost cried.
"Mr. Manstein, why do you look so emotional? Have you suddenly thought of something?"
Kallen asked curiously.
However, at this moment, Manstein was already unable to speak. Fang Ping quickly explained.
"Haha, perhaps it's because you look very similar to his daughter, but he hasn't seen his daughter in a long time. That's why he's so excited."
Kallen expressed her understanding.
At this moment, Fang Ping told Kallen that he had a story to tell her.
Then, Fang Ping told Kallen about Manstein's real experience in the past. He also added some modifications and changes.
This sad and touching love story instantly touched the girl's emotional heart. Even many noble young men and women present were deeply touched.
"Wuwu, this story is so tearful."
"That's right. That man who was forced to not acknowledge his daughter is really too pitiful!"
"If I can meet such a man, I'll definitely spend the rest of my life with him!"
"With such a wife, what else can I ask for?!"
Everyone discussed with their companions beside her. Kallen was also so touched that a tear flowed from the corner of her eye.
