Chapter 279 Interrogating Niti

"Did uhh… Virgil ever did something to you?"

"Never. He has always been a kind person, unlike any vampire you would ever meet. And sadly, he got bashed a lot for that, but he never cared.

I am deeply indebted to the Vampire Monarch. He also raised Vriti as his own daughter. And a few years later, he brought a human wife from your world, which caused a lot of controversies. The previous Vampire Monarch and the rest of the royal and n.o.ble family members wanted to exile him for committing the biggest crime.

However, Queen Nyxia was around at that time, and he brushed everyone off. No one could ever dare to go against her as she was the strongest vampire at that time."

"Everything was going well until the sudden disappearance of his wife," she added in a disdainful tone. "He became bitter and started spending time alone."

"Do you know anything about his wife? Since you were close to him, naturally, you should know about his wife too," Rudy asked calmly. He didn't want to sound forceful or demanding, especially when Niti was feeling sad after he reminded her of her past.

"Sadly, I don't. No one knows about anything. But the rumors say that she died while giving birth to their child, Princess Veronica," she responded.

"Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. But if that was the case, why is Virgil hiding it? If I remember correctly, her body was never found, right?"

"Yes. But after Princess Veronica was born, the Vampire Monarch made me her personal maid. I raised her just like how I raised her daughter, princess Jane." After a brief pause, she continued:

"But… the Vampire Monarch had changed. He never came to check up on princess Veronica, nor did he give her any fatherly love. Perhaps he blamed her for the death of his wife and didn't want to see her. But he did love her dearly and fulfill her needs.

I remember once she got sick, and the Vampire monarch had turned everything upside down to find the cure for her illness. In the end, it turned out that it was just flu which was common in humans. We vampires rarely ever get sick, so he was worried.

However, as she grew up and began showing more emotions towards the humans rather than the vampire, she wanted to go to the human world, but the Vampire Monarch never let her.

One thing led to another, and the royals and n.o.bles once again began plotting against the Vampire Monarch. They wanted to get rid of both him and his daughter. But the Vampire Monarch had enough.

He challenged all the royals and n.o.bles in a fight and won against them. He then challenged the Vampire Monarch and became the next king of this kingdom. After that, no one dared to defy him, although the royals and n.o.bles never stopped berating him.

Time pa.s.sed by, and princess Veronica became an adult. And she went to the human world and never returned."

"Virgil never tried to bring her back?" Rudy asked curiously.

"He wanted to, but he thought it would be for the best to leave her alone. He couldn't give her a better life in this world, so he wanted her to live a happy life in the human world."

"Makes sense," Rudy nodded.

"Then, one day, he called Vriti and me and handed us Jane and Rias. I knew at first glance that they were princess Veronica's daughters," she said with a smile on her face. "And you know the rest of the story."

"Yeah…"

Since Niti was lost in the conversation with Rudy, she didn't pay attention to Rudy's hair and ended up braiding them just like how she had been doing it for Jane when she was a kid.

"Uhh…" Niti swallowed nervously and said, "I will need to fix your hair."

"Don't worry. You can take as much time as you want. I am free all day… or until Jane returns," he said with a sigh. "By the way, can I ask when you entered this room?"

Rudy wanted to confirm his suspicion about his wet snake when he woke up.

"I… I came when princess Jane was still in this room…" Niti replied awkwardly.

"And when was that?"

"About 10 minutes before you woke up."

'Hmm. 10 minutes is a perfect time for a… no, I shouldn't jump to the conclusion.' Rudy took a deep breath and curiously asked:

"What was Jane doing when you entered this room?"

"She was… on top of you."

"Was she still riding me?"

"Yes."

"Holy s.h.i.t! Even though she said she would sleep after a few rounds, she continued until the morning. I should have expected that. But thanks to her, I had a nice pleasurable sleep."

Niti averted her gaze and hesitantly asked, "Did you… have a dream or something?"

"Hmm? No. Why would that happen?"

"You were talking with yourself, so I a.s.sumed you…"

"Oh! No, I was awake at that time. I was talking to someone I hold dear."

Niti's face turned pale after hearing that. She swallowed nervously and opened her mouth to ask, "Since.. how long have you been awake?"

Rudy raised his brow with a curious look on his face and thought, 'Judging by her voice and how she was acting, it makes me closer to my suspicion. Should I ask her directly? I am not embarra.s.sed or scared to ask her, but I am afraid of being wrong. That would be h.e.l.la embarra.s.sing for both her and me, and she would think that I have been having such thoughts about her."

That was why Rudy wanted to confirm before asking her, but Niti was replying so vaguely that he couldn't make a conclusion. It was almost as though Niti knew what Rudy was asking, and she was purposely trying to avoid answering.

"What happened after that?" he asked.

"Apparently, Princess Jane had no sense of time, and I had to tell her that it was morning and the function was about to start soon. So she went to the bathhouse and ordered me to bring her new clothes, and she went directly to the hall," Niti responded calmly, thinking she was safe from Rudy's interrogation.

"Okay. I apologize if I am wrong, and I don't mean anything by it, but did you do something to me when I was sleeping?"
