Rulleus felt a chill as he thought that Aldrian might kill him based on this question alone! The problem was that he did not know the right answer to this question. That was because the intent of the question itself was unknown to him.
Did Aldrian ask this to know how his father would react if he killed him now? Did he want to bait his father to come here by killing him? Or did he want to avoid attracting his father by not killing him? However, without asking that question, Aldrian should know that killing him would be a challenge to the vampire king.
From the way Rulleus saw it, Aldrian asked this question to bait his father into coming here by killing him. Aldrian wanted to know if he was useful in that way.
"Please spare me," he suddenly said without much thinking. He felt that any answer would lead him to his death.
Aldrian did not change his expression.
