Vampire'S Secret Baby
|143|. Why Can't I Lean On Him?

Dozens of men with sharp swords in hand came out from every corner of space. They stood ready to storm. Annette who saw that just got scared. Grabbing Egbert's arm, he whispered, "Are they going to attack us?"

Egbert did not reply, holding Annette's hand and patting her softly to calm down.

"Get them" said Anthony.

"Ready boy"

A group of men in iron clothes ran up to Egbert, Annette, Sean and Aldrich.

Annette's maternal instinct, moved her to turn around and scream, "Aldrich come quickly, son.."

He was about to run, but Egbert held back his wrist.

"Egbert" Annette tried to pull her hand.

Egbert kept him, "Quiet down"

Sean had not expected that commotion to happen. He had indeed guessed Anthony would not give up his throne so easily. But he wouldn't have expected the old man to send a horde of people to ambush them.

"Egbert, this is out of the way. What should we lak—"

Pyassa!

Argh..

Sean closed his mouth.

Annette who had been trying to rebel to go agape saw what her little son had done.

Egbert would not have predicted that would happen. But he smiled with satisfaction.

'It's good to have a great son'

Aldrich turned both his hands making a fireball the size of a ball of feet. After that he threw it towards the people who tried to come attacking.

Argh..

Those people screamed. They are trying to put out the fire that is attached to their bodies.

Anthony who saw that was dumbfounded.

'No way'

'How can that rotten boy..'

"My son, do it a little faster!" Egbert. His smiling eyes looked at Anthony who was starting to daze in his sitting position.

Annette had yet to recover from her shock, only to be further puzzled when she saw her son pull out a huge fireball from his hand to attack the swarm of iron-clad men.

"Do you rule me?" Aldrich sounded unhappy.

"It's not. But think it's your mama's condition, she's so scared right now"

Aldrich saw the look on his mother's face that looked pale, "Maa, don't worry. I'll get this over with real quick"

Finished saying that, Aldrich threw fireballs at every corner of the room. It managed to burn the window curtains, the wooden cupboard that was beside it and the table that was near the emperor sat down.

Anthony was surprised.

"Fire.fire.."

The swarm of sword-wielding men no longer thought of attacking. They were just busy thinking of ways to go and put out the fire.

"Huk.huk.."

Anthony began to cough and cough, seeing the fire devouring the table, smoke rising.

"Sean, report to the security department now! If there's been a rebel in the imperial palace"

Sean nodded and immediately left the place.

......................

Eventually, Emperor Anthony was captured and held in a special prison for the rebels. Anthony was very angry. But he's helpless. Because the real evidence is already in front. A group of troops sent to attack the crown prince was also detained with him.

The emperor's seat should not be left empty for so long. That night Egbert was crowned emperor and got what was supposed to be his.

It was a long night, with a series of quick turns again exhausting.

"My son, you've done a good thing tonight" Egbert praised generously.

Aldrich screeched, "I didn't do it for you. I'm just worried about Mom, that's why I'm doing all that"

Annette bent her knees on the floor and held onto her son's two hands, "Son.how can your hands be.."

Aldrich smiled, "Maa, I protect you better than that unlucky guy*an. In the future you're leaning on me enough"

Egbert's face immediately turned dark hearing what his son said. The more the way Annette answered, it made her mood worse, "My wife, I'm your husband. You can just lean on me"

Annette who heard her grievance smiled slightly and turned towards Egbert, "My son is strong enough, why can't I lean on him?"

"My wife.." Egbert's face became darker than night.

Annette laughed and let Egbert just drown in dissatisfaction.

Sean shook his head, seeing how the father and son were fighting over a woman's attention. Narrowing his temples, he let out a heavy sigh, 'They are really..'

Sean went to Egbert and pulled out a white paper roll tied with a yellow ribbon.

"Your son has drained my savings. So you have to replace it" Sean handed the scroll to Egbert.

"What's this?" Egbert raised one of his eyebrows.

"Just open it"

Egbert pulled the yellow ribbon and unrolled it. He looked at what was written there and frowned puzzledly, "What has he bought with such a large expenditure"

"Ask your son. Obviously I want my money back" demanded Sean.

This morning he went to pick up Aldric and take care of his leave for up to a month. But before leaving, the school held him and handed him a piece of bill paper.

When Sean saw how much it was, his eyes immediately widened.

Five hundred gold coins???

That's a lot of numbers.

Perhaps it was not a big thing for a young master with such a noble background. But he had long since died in his home. Every time he returned to Merland, he always chose to stay in the inn instead of going home.

He had a lot of savings in the human world because of his work, but in Merland his savings just kept decreasing every time he came to stay. Because his father had completely cut his expenses.

Sadly, there were only five hundred coins left in the bank and it was completely empty now due to paying Aldrich's payment bill.

"Sean"

"Yes?"

"What's my son like to you?"

Sean frowned, thinking.

"Because your relationship with me is this close, I think she's like my niece"

Egbert smiled, "If so, it means to my son that you are his uncle. As uncle, have you ever given him anything as a gift?"

Sean got a bad feeling, "Never"

Egbert's smile grew wider, "Then consider this bill as your gift to her"

Sean glanced at his eyes.

"Huh" Sean sighed harshly.

"Egbert, I think you're very rich. But it still drains the pockets of poor people like me. Forget that! The boy doesn't consider me his uncle. So just pay my money back"

Hearing that Aldrich immediately exclaimed, "Uncle Sean!"

Egbert held his lips back to not laugh.

"Look! He thinks of you as his uncle"

Sean was bluffing his teeth. His face looks sour.

"As an uncle, should you count like that with your own nephew hum?"

Sean clenched his hand.

'That's five hundred coins'

'Count-count said?'

"I'll be on leave for a month. So don't bother me"

Like that, Sean immediately rushed away from there.

Annette laughed loudly.

"Son, what did you buy with such a big expenditure?"

Aldrich smelled a smile on his lips and whispered in his mother's ear, "Something makes that bastard*n confess his feelings to mama.."
