Chapter 208: Miya’s Introductions, Keith’s Secret Revealed

He stood on top of the tea table with a newspaper in hand while the rest were laughing like crazy.

“-h nooo, I want to see my baby! I will kill that dog of a prince if I get an opportunity, ahhhh. Oh Keith, you’re here.” he said and jumped off the table.

Keith nodded and faced the middle aged man in front of him whose hair seemed to have started to turn grey due to age. He bowed slightly and introduced himself.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Duke Arthur Toretto. On behalf of my team, I thank you for your hospitality.”

The guy waved his hand nonchalantly, “Don’t bother with all that stuff. I’m already tired of keeping appearances in front of the others and I don’t wanna do it with everyone I see. Just talk to me normally.”

He then turned to look at the butler, who in turned shifted his gaze towards a servant who was standing at one corner.

The guy immediately bowed low, hitting 90 degrees before standing back up, “I’ll bring extra chairs.”

Keith watched him leave the room and then turned to look at Duke Arthur.

“Well, since you’re fine with it, then I guess we’ll just talk normally like you want us to. Oh yeah…” he said as he noticed everyone’s gaze which was fixed on the child who was holding Clara’s hand.

He placed his hand on her head and spoke, “I’ve adopted her and well… I haven’t done the paper work, so it isn’t official yet.”

“Anyways!” he said and looked at Miya, “Come on, introduce yourself.”

Miya let go of Clara’s hand and took a few steps forward before bowing down slightly just like Keith had done a few seconds ago.

“It is a pressure to meet you… um papa’s friends. On half of my papa, I thank you for your hospital.”

Keith wanted to smack his forehead, but didn’t do it as she just looked way too adorable when she tried her best to copy him.

“Name, tell them your name.”

She looked up at him with her big, cute eyes before nodding. She once again faced the crowd before introducing herself.

“My name is Miya Zenister! My papa’s name is Keith Zenister! My mama’s name is Clara will become Zenister in the future!”

“Good girl!” Keith praised her gave her a few head pats before looking at his friends proudly, “What are you guys staring at? Introduce yourselves dammit.”

Everyone hurriedly introduced themselves after hearing his words and this included Duke Arthur. Once he was done, he grinned and said, “You can call me grandpa if you want. If you do, I’ll give you a gift.”

“Grandpa.” Miya said and stared at him, “Now give me gift.”

The corners of Arthur’s lips twitched as he glanced at Keith who was smirking, happily watching the child play her games with him.

‘At that age, Amelia was even harder to handle so this is nothing.’ he thought as he smiled again, “Sure, this grandpa is one of the most renowned knights in this empire and as a gift, I’ll teach you how to wield a sword.”

Miya looked up at Keith, “Papa, is this grandpa really that strong?”

Keith shrugged in response, “Who knows. I haven’t seen him wield a sword so I can’t really tell. He’s old so he could be weak.”

“Oh…” Miya said and turned towards Arthur, “I don’t want to learn from grandpa. Papa will teach me better.”

Amelia and the rest were having fun as they watched this interaction, but Arthur was starting to get pissed.

He looked at Keith and stood up, “Let’s go have a spar.”

“Sure, but no one is supposed to watch. I have a few secrets that are… well, secrets and I don’t want others to see.”

Arthur nodded before he looked at the people inside the room, “What about these guys?”

“They’re fine, but I guess Miya will have to stay inside. After, I’ll be fighting with my fists so it could turn gruesome. Though, I have a humble request. Teach me how to use a sword once the spar is done. Just consider it another spar but go a little easy on me at the start.”

Before Arthur could answer, Amelia got up from her seat, “No. You’re not sparring my father with bare fucking hands! Are you an idiot? He’s literally known as the Sword of the Empire and you want to fight him with bare hands? Are you our of your mind Keith?”

“It’s fine, I’ll go easy on the kid.” Arthur said and began to walk out. He looked pretty cool at the moment, but Amelia didn’t back down and used her most powerful card.

“If you fight Keith, I’ll never talk to you again!”

Arthur stopped walking immediately and turned around to look at his daughter who looked absolutely serious. A part of him wanted to show Miya that he wasn’t just some random old dude, but another part of him was now trapped in his daughter’s effective blackmail attempt.

Seeing this, Keith laughed before shaking his head, “It’s fine. Let me show you guys something…. but before that.” he said and looked at all the servants.

The butler who was standing behind him took charge and sent out orders, “Everyone, let’s wait outside.”

Once all the servants left the room, Keith turned to look at his daughter who was staring at him curiously.

“Close your eyes, Miya.”

“No…” she said, sounding slightly hesitant but Keith shook his head before giving her a stern look, “I’ll show you when you grow older okay? So listen to papa now and close your eyes. If you do, I’ll buy you a big cake.”

Miya immediately nodded and used her small hands to cover her eyes but Keith had his eyes on the system screen in front of him.

Knowing that she was peeking from the gaps between her fingers, he looked at Clara, “Cover her eyes for me, please.”

Once Clara crouched down and covered Miya’s eyes, Keith took out a dagger out of thin air and immediately pushed it into his arm, tearing through the muscles and flesh
