For a week A-Xuan spent all of his time at the factory. He barely had time for Yan Wang who was displeased. The good thing about having vampires as workers is that things are done fast.

When production was done they sent an envoy to the human land. After seeing it they decided to redistribute it in the whole land. Thanks to that big order a lot of vampires got jobs. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

The kingdom banks were filled to the brim. The descendants were truly grateful to the king and their love for him just increased.

Seeing how things turned out Yan Hao decided to call for A-Xuan one last time to see if he could convince him. A-Xuan was working but he was curious about what Yan Hao was going to say.

A-Xuan entered Yan Hao’s office without knocking. He stopped not too far from the seats. Yan Ning turned to look at him with an arrogant smile on. You’re a fool.

A-Xuan crossed his arms and asked impatiently:

"What do you want Yan Hao?"

Yan Hao’s eyes turn sad as he said:

"Son you can call me father. I thought things were better between us but turns out I was wrong."

A-Xuan bowed his head, when he looked up he had a painful expression on.

"Father I always felt like you never loved me. Like I was just a stone in your way."

That’s how the original genuinely felt like his father had to support him despite the fact he hated him. All his life he made him feel as if he was a weight on his shoulders.

Yan Hao looked at him hurt.

"Of course I love you, you’re my son. How could you think I didn’t? Do you think that poorly of me?"

A-Xuan was impressed, Yan Hao managed to turn the situation around as if he was the victim. Gaslighting 101. The original would probably apologize at this moment.

A-Xuan raised hopeful eyes.

"You do?"

"Of course I do."

A-Xuan’s head hang low as he whispered:

"I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings."

Yan Hao snickered in his heart looking at his son’s head. How can you be so foolish? He said apprehensively:

"Son come sit we need to talk. I’m a little worried."

A-Xuan sat next to Yan Ning. He looked at his father waiting for him to speak.

"Do you think Yan Wang likes you?"

"I don’t, I know he loves me."

As A-Xuan said that he had a beautiful smile on. Yan Hao asked:

"Did he tell you that?"

A-Xuan answered:

"Yes, last week. He said that he would do anything for me and that we’re going to spend eternity together."

"Son do you love me?"

A-Xuan blushed as he answered:

"I do father."

"Then if you want me to agree with you being in a relationship with Yan Wang you need to help me. Unless you don’t care about having my blessing."

"Of course I do. Just tell me how I can help you and I’ll do it."

Yan Hao said:

"There’s a vampire I want to introduce to Yan Wang during the next council meeting. Can you let him in the palace?"

"Of course father, it’s no issue."

"Good he’ll..."

Before Yan Hao could finish A-Xuan cut him off and said arrogantly:

"If you both do one thing for me."

Yan Ning and Yan Hao’s eyes immediately turned sharp.

Yan Hao asked cautiously:

"What do you want from us?"

A-Xuan got up and walked a little further from the desk. He said with a smile on his face:

"I want you father to admit your fault kneeling on the floor and brother has to say that I’m better than him on his knees too."

Yan Ning immediately got up and yelled with anger:

"You bastard who do you think you are?"

A-Xuan just crossed his arms preparing to leave saying:

"Fine, then I guess you don’t need me to let your guest in tomorrow."

Yan Hao sharply got up and yelled:

"Wait!"

A-Xuan turned a smirk on his face. Yan Ning was shaking with rage, he can’t wait for tomorrow so he can put him and Yan Wang in dark slumber.

He yelled looking at his father:

"Father, you’re not going to kneel for that freak are you?"

Yan Hao seethed:

"Shut up! Do as he says."

"Fathe..."

"If you don’t what’s supposed to happen tomorrow won’t."

Yan Ning looked at his father intently. He knows that they need to let Gao Wei in the main palace or they’ll be blamed for the king’s dark slumber. It’s fine I can kneel for him today and tomorrow I’ll torture him to death.

Yan Ning took a deep breath as he kneeled in front of A-Xuan. He looked at him and said with gritted teeth:

"You’re better than me."

A-Xuan sneered.

"I know I am, I didn’t need you to say it."

"You son of b..."

Before Yan Ning could finish Yan Hao cut him.

"Son, he has done what you said so you’ll let our guest in tomorrow right? He just wants to tell the king about a plan that could help a lot of vampires."

"I’ll let him in."

"Goo..."

A-Xuan cut him again a playful smile on his face.

"As soon as you admit what a terrible father you have been to me on your knees."

"That’s a good one son, I almost believe..."

"Oh, I’m not kidding I’m 100% serious. I have things to do so if you’re not going to do it just tell me now."

A-Xuan watched as Yan Hao’s hands clenched into fists. Yan Hao wants the whole world to kneel before him. Before he dies A-Xuan we’ll make sure he kneels for the son he destroyed.

Yan Ning looked at his father worriedly, he knows how proud he is. Yan Hao looked at his son who has become a completely different person. Maybe he has always been like that, it’s not like I raised him. I know nothing about him.

Yan Hao decided that he will kneel and tomorrow the role will be reversed. Plus he wants to see his face when he’ll sees his lover’s dead body. Yan Hao walked to A-Xuan and kneeled next to Yan Ning.

He said:

"I’m sorry A-Xu I have been a terrible father and you deserved much better. Please forgive us."

A-Xuan said magnanimously:

"You are forgiven I’m not that petty."

Yan Hao was ready to spit out blood. Are you fucking kidding me? You’re not petty? You made us kneel on the floor while we said exactly what you wanted us to say.

A-Xuan tilted his head.

"Is there something you would like to say?"

Yan Hao immediately shook his head.

"Not at all, son. So you’ll let our guest in?"

A-Xuan smiled and said before disappearing:

"I will."

Yan Hao got up and threw the chair closest to him against the door A-Xuan had just used.

"That bastard! Just because he’s getting fucked by Yan Wang he thinks he is above me."

Yan Hao looked at his son and said viciously:

"Tomorrow while Gao Wei takes care of the king, I want you to subdue him so we can torture him for months. He’ll be the one to kneel."

Yan Ning looked at his father with joy. A-Xuan left and went directly to his and Yan Wang’s imperial chambers.
