Chapter 293 : A Rose Wedding 19 (2/2)

Just as he thought the woman was about to make a scene, she simply took her invitation card back and spoke smilingly, “Can you help me contact Ke Er?”

The receptionist was startled. ‘This lady is acquainted with Prince Ke Er?’

“Of course. Please wait a moment, milady.”

There were some people with high positions that not all vampires could recognise. So in these types of situations, the receptionists had to carefully verify their identity. He turned around to dial Ke Er’s line.

“Greetings, may I ask if Prince Ke Er is there? It’s like this: a problem occurred with a lady’s invitation and it seems she is acquainted with Prince Ke Er, so we wish to verify with His Lordship…”

The receptionist turned back to look at Shi Sheng. “May I have your name, milady?”

“Mi Nai.”

The receptionist nearly dropped the phone.

‘Mi Nai… The goddaughter of Prince Ke Er?! Then what’s there to prove?!’

It was well known that Prince Ke Er doted a lot on this goddaughter of his, but few had ever laid eyes on her.

The receptionist quaked as he hung up from the call. If his attitude before was neither servile nor overbearing, then now it was fully respectful and deferent. “His Lordship will dispatch people to fetch you. Please wait a bit over here.”

Shi Sheng was led to a separate lounge.

The receptionist was still a bit spooked, even after emerging from the lounge, as he patted his chest to calm himself down.

‘Fortunately, it appears she appears to be good tempered. Had it been someone else, they probably would’ve made a scene by now.’

He raised his head and saw that more guests had arrived, so he put away his emotions and greeted the newcomers with a slight smile.

Half an hour later, a man and a girl entered.

The man appeared to be getting along in years, but the girl was very young—she was even wearing a student uniform. The girl was currently examining her surroundings with slight apprehension.

“Please present your invitations.”

The man handed his invitation over and the receptionist verified it with the machine. ‘It’s actually a Grade A!’

In the case of humans, only the vampire hunters with strength and reputation would have received a Grade A invitation card.

The receptionist remained expressionless as he handed the card back. “May the two of you come right this way. There’ll be someone who will escort you to the Feast’s venue. Please keep your invitation card with you at all times, and do not lose it.”

“Second Uncle…” The girl called the man timidly.

“Just follow me.” The man schooled his features into a stern expression. “Don’t be afraid.”

The girl nodded and followed the man. But they hadn’t managed to walk two steps before halting once more.

A group of people had suddenly appeared from the interior of the fortress. Their leader was a young and handsome man with a head of sleek, silver hair. He wore a tuxedo and his every move seemed filled with elegant nobility.

The man pulled the girl into retreating several paces. The silver haired man merely swept an emotionless gaze over them, as if he didn’t think much of them. He had the oppressive aura of someone superior that made it hard to look directly at him.

“Lord Rui Yi.” The receptionist had stood beside them at some point, his hand placed over his chest as he bowed in greeting.

Rui Yi raised his brow slightly and spoke, his voice containing some hints of endearment, “Where’s the little princess?”

“In the lounge. This way, milord.” The receptionist led Rui Yi to one of the rooms off to the side and soon, their figures left the great hall.

Only after Rui Yi had left did the girl heave a sigh of relief. “Second Uncle, who was that person?”

“Prince Ke Er’s eldest son.” The man replied in a low voice.

“Is he a big deal?” The girl frowned and cast a look over there. ‘Prince Ke Er… Princes should be a big deal, right?’

The man held her head down and instructed her in a low voice, “When we go in, don’t ask any questions, and don’t look around. Most importantly, don’t run off on your own! Do you understand?”

The girl nodded, though she didn’t really understand the reason behind his commands. “Yes, Second Uncle.”
