Chapter 402 Grandpa, l need a favor.

"Talk to him, if he dares to disagree, ki-"

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

In a lavish room, a man with red colored hair and eyes, wearing black-golden colored clothes, was sitting on his chair and was instructing his subordinate who was kneeling on the floor with a respectful expression on his face.

The man had sharp features and a charming, yet dangerous Aura.

He was Leofric Vestalis, the Head of the Vestalis Duke House, and was one of the strongest Expert Stage Cultivators of the Skyfall Kingdom.

A man who was feared by many and only a few people in this entire world dared to go against him.

Today, however, Duke Vestalis was interrupted by a knock.

This normally wouldn't have been a problem, however, the man who knocked on the door dared to enter without waiting for his permission.

Now, this was getting out of line.

The Duke narrowed his eyes and looked at the guard who entered his office.

"You better have a good reason for this blatant disrespect you have shown me, Zane, because if you don't, then don't even think about meeting your family again."

The Guard, who just entered the Duke's office felt a shiver run down his spine.

He was a Grand Master Stage Cultivator, however, in front of the Duke, he wasn't nearly as impressive.

The Duke could destroy him in seconds, and he knew it.

However, he had a good reason for doing what he did.

"Lord Vestalis."

He called out.

The Duke looked at him, seeing that he has gained the Duke's attention, Zane reported.

"Princess Evane is here to see you."

Suddenly, those eyes that looked like they would pierce Zane into pieces shined in gleam.

"Evane is here?"

An excited look appeared on Vestalis's face.

"Yes, Lord Vestalis,"

A small smile appeared on Zane's face and he continued,

"And I apologize for my rudeness, but I have already brought the princess in since I couldn't let her stand outside like others. I am ready to accept any punishment you deliver."

Hearing those words, Duke Vestalis laughed out loud.

"Hahaha~ You don't have to worry, Zane.

You have done a good thing. It is indeed not correct to treat Evane as if she is a normal guest. She is my Grand Daughter, of course.

Don't worry, rather than a punishment, I would reward you instead.

Tell me, what do you want?"

Duke Vestalis questioned with a happy expression on his face.

Zane smiled inwardly.

It was just as he expected.

The moment he talked about his Grand Daughter, the cold and ruthless Duke disappeared.

Zane never thought about getting punishment for even a second, he knew about the Duke, and he knew how he would react.

It was a calculated move.

However, now wasn't the time to be relaxed.

"Lord, you are generous, and I would love to accept a reward, however, the Princess is still waiting outside, please meet her first."

"Hahaha~"

The Duke laughed again.

"Good Good, Zane Riverson, I give you a day to decide what you want, tomorrow, you can come to me and demand it.

Think well."

"As you command, Lord Vestalis."

Zane bowed his head.

"I will send the Princess in now."

Then, he stood up and left the room.

A few seconds later, the door opened, and a breathtakingly beautiful blonde walked in.

"Grandpa."

Evane greeted with a fresh smile on her face.

"Evane!"

Duke Vestalis rushed towards Evane and hugged her.

Evane hugged back.

"I missed you, Grandpa."

"Hmph! If you missed me, you would have visited me sooner."

Vestalis pouted.

His subordinate, who was standing behind him couldn't help but shake his head.

This Duke Vestalis…

Who would believe that this man is a cold-blooded killer if he saw him acting like this?

Just a few minutes ago, he was talking about killing someone, and look at him now, fawning over his granddaughter like that.

Just how can one change his attitude so quickly?

His subordinate, however, was used to this.

Duke Vestalis was filled with unconditional love for his first Grand Daughter.

The moment he held her in her arms when she was born, his ruthless, expressionless face crumbled and was replaced by a delightful one.

It was truly a bizarre sight that even the people close to Duke couldn't understand.

Not even his daughter, Princess Evane's mother could understand why her father loved her daughter so much, even she didn't receive this much love from the Duke.

"Well, I am here now, aren't I?"

Evane replied with a smile on her face.

"It is good that you are because if you hadn't visited me for a few more days, I would have barged into that academy of yours and would have demanded to meet you.

How dare you stay away from your Grandpa for such a long time?"

Duke Vestalis snorted.

Evane chuckled.

"See? I knew you would try to do that, therefore, I visited you before you could barge in."

"Hahaha~ My Evane knows me well."

The Duke laughed out loud.

"Alright now, have a seat."

Then, he pulled Evane's hand and placed her on the chair.

Then, he sat on the chair opposite to Evane's and turned towards his subordinate.

"What are you standing there for? Bring the Tea, also, make sure to bring those chocolate cookies,"

"As you command."

The subordinate bowed and then walked away.

'Who would believe that a Duke would remember his Granddaughter's favorite snacks? Tsk Tsk.'

The Subordinate thought inwardly and clicked his tongue.

"Now, let's have a long chat, shall we?"

On the other hand, the Duke looked at Evane and smiled.

"So? How was the Academy? Did anyone bully you?"

Evane chuckled, and then she replied,

"No one bullied me grandpa, and the Academy was good as well, however,"

Suddenly, Evane's face turned serious.

"I am not here to talk about that."

Seeing the serious expression on his Granddaughter's face, a frown appeared on the Duke's face.

"What happened?"

He questioned.

"Grandpa, I need a favor."
