Daughter？

The corridors within the castle were spacious and winding, adorned with gorgeous slate paving, carpets, and walls covered in exquisite paintings, sculptures, and antiques, each exuding a strong sense of history and cultural heritage. Each vampire had their own sizable chamber and personal servants. Sam took a cursory look, noting specific areas to avoid getting lost in the future.

As Sam strolled, his thoughts grew angrier. He smacked Calista on the head more than a dozen times, making a resounding sound. "Do you know how important those glasses are? Stupid woman!"

"Oh, Master, I'm sorry. How was I supposed to know the purpose of your glasses? If I had known Master was so brave, how could I be disrespectful? Right?" Calista hugged her master's arms to her chest.

"Hmph!" Despite the comfort on his arms, Sam felt a pang of regret, hoping for improved and sturdier glasses in the future.

"Master, I want to sleep with you," Calista asked Sam shyly.

"Why? Don't you have a room of your own? Everyone has secrets they don't want others to know. I also need a private space," Sam refused.

"Master, don't you know? Your semen makes it impossible for me to betray you, like an addictive poison," Calista added, curious.

"Oh really?" Sam replied casually, asking the system. It explained that this effect was due to Sam's blood type. As there would be no betrayal, there was no need to hide it. Calista then followed Sam back to his room.

In Sam's room, three figures lay on the bed, and Sam cradled the mysterious egg in his arms. Everyone had participated in several games earlier in the day and planned to take a good rest.

"Master, the colors on this egg are so beautiful and colorful," Calista remarked, desiring to touch it. Sam wouldn't allow it, and she could only pout, expressing envy.

"It should be able to break out of its shell when we wake up tomorrow," Sam said with a slight smile.

The two women fell asleep, holding onto Sam's arms. Unseen by anyone, a figure appeared in Sam's room, glanced at the peculiar egg, and in an instant, both the egg and the person disappeared.

---

"Damn, where's the egg?" Sam jumped up, yelling, realizing upon waking that the egg was missing. The two women, sleepy-eyed, jumped to their feet and began searching the room.

*knock knock*

Alia hurriedly ran to open the door. Sam, sitting on the couch, was eager for the prize he had anticipated, despite being in a bad mood.

*click*

The door opened slowly, revealing a little girl with white hair, about three years old. She smiled, ran over, and called, "Daddy!" before hugging Sam's leg and rubbing her cheek against it.

Sam, impatient, said, "Stop making trouble, little brat. You can go back and play with your mother. I'm not in the mood right now," gesturing for Alia to take her out. He didn't know where this little vampire came from.

Alia tried to pick her up, but the little girl hugged Sam's legs tightly, displaying unexpected strength. Waving a hand, she sent Alia flying. The scene left everyone wide-eyed, considering Alia was a vampire and not easily moved.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?" Sam asked her in a serious tone.

Calista watched silently, eager to discover who was playing this prank. The little girl, her chubby hands taking out a colorful eggshell from her pocket, looked pitifully cute.

"Did you steal my eggs?" Sam asked.

The little girl, appearing sad, shook her head and said, "No, I'm just an egg." Then, with moist eyes, she looked pitiful.

Sam, skeptical, asked, "Then why have you grown up so much?" Wondering if she had stolen the egg and pretended it was her inside, he questioned the possibility.

"I don't know either, ow ow," she cried, burying her head in Sam's lap.

"System, can you check if she is a mystery egg?" Sam asked, realizing he had a system.

[DING, YES, SHE IS THE EGG.]

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

[DING, THE HOST DIDN'T ASK ME.]

"Okay, so why does she grow up so fast?"

[DING, SHE IS NO LONGER IN THE INVENTORY. I CAN NO LONGER OBSERVE HER.]

"..."

[DING, I THOUGHT THE HOST RECOGNIZED HER AT A GLANCE, BUT I DIDN'T EXPECT YOUR HOST DIDN'T RECOGNIZE HER.]

"I didn't ask you a question; could you please stop 'dinging' me?"

[DING, OKAY.]

"..."

Sam picked her up and examined her carefully. Her hair matched his white hue, and her skin was the same color. Curious, he asked, "How do you know I am your Daddy?"

"I smell Daddy. Daddy holds me in his arms, can I smell you?"

"Are you telling me you can smell me when I hold the eggs?"

"Um, yes."

"So are you human now, or another species?"

"I don't know?" she said, shaking her head.

Sam kissed her forehead and said, "From now on, you can live here with your father, and there will be someone here to take care of you."

She turned to look at Alia and Calista, then sniffed the air, wrinkled her little nose, and said, "They all smell like Daddy."

Sam looked at the little girl, his eyes probing, "Can you really smell it from such a distance?" Alia stood about seven or eight feet away, and Calista was about ten feet away. The room was spacious, so the distance wasn't considerable.

"No matter how far I am, I can smell Daddy." She proudly raised her little chin. "That person took me away, but I walked back to Daddy by myself."

Sam's gaze intensified with realization: Someone infiltrated my room last night, and I didn't detect it?

Calista straightened up, recognizing the gravity of the situation. If someone was willing to risk stealing the egg, they might have more sinister intentions.

Alia became tense. The situation sounded ominous, indicating that the person who took the egg wasn't a weakling.
