Hill's room was next to Keech's, so he just put on his pants and shirt, opened the door and left Keech's room.

He had to leave quickly, and if he stayed a little longer, he was worried that he would change his mind, abandon his long-awaited determination, return to Kiki, hug him, and tell him: He only loves him and only wants him.

But he couldn't do that, he had to leave Kiki, even at that moment, his heart was bleeding.

Hill closed his door with a wry smile, turned around, leaned against the door, and sighed long.

He was scared, really scared.

That day, seeing Keech stabbing a dagger into Moriarty's heart and then walking away, he finally realized that this young man lived too recklessly and too freely.Regardless of whether Moriarty is a deity or a god-favored person who is not worthy of the name, he has the surname Lucifer after all, and he is the dignified Marquis of the Yalong Empire. In his marriage with Li Qi, he stabbed him to death without blinking an eye.

One day, if his father and family became obstacles between him and Keech, would Keech kill them all like he angered Moriarty?Thinking of such a tragedy, Hill finally realized clearly that the boy he thought was a cat was actually a fierce tiger. When he showed his fangs and sharp claws, anyone who tried to stop him would be crushed and torn by him. crack.

——Their love will destroy his family and everything he owns.

When he realized this, Hill knew right away that he had to let Keech go.

He can't control Kiki, nor can he protect him. Continuing to possess greedy will only lead to greater disasters. He has to choose between interests and emotions. He still has love for Kiki and can give him tolerance. when.

Hill didn't hesitate, his innate reason and the blood of Balotelli in his bones allowed him to make a choice easily.

He loves Keech, but he can't lose his family.

Therefore, he can only lose Keech.

It's just that the choice to give up doesn't ease the pain because it's quick.In the past few months, he has changed the time of practicing swordsmanship from early morning to night, and every day he squeezes his body until he is exhausted before he can fall asleep.Even so, he often woke up in the middle of the night when he dreamed back, either dreaming that Keech had slaughtered his family, or dreaming that he had killed Keech.

Hill didn't understand why he had such a dream, the former was understandable, the latter—no, even if he killed himself, he wouldn't hurt Keech, otherwise why would he decide to leave Keech and let himself be like this? pain?

Hill slumped down with a wry smile, hugging his head, trying to restrain his urge to open the door and go back to Keech.

After taking a few deep breaths, Hill calmed himself down and rationalized himself, then stood up, changed his clothes, called the servants of Rose Manor, and asked him to notify his coachman to prepare the carriage and return to Asshai.

— Kiki, I love you, I really love you.

When going out, Hill still couldn't help turning around and looking at the door next door, it was closed tightly, as if it was a hint.

Hill laughed at himself, finally turned around and left Rose Manor.

It was nearly dusk when the carriage returned to Yasha City, Hill did not go home, and asked the coachman to drive the carriage to Lizzy's residence, Moriarty's former residence.

After Moriarty's death, Lizzy became the hostess here, and everyone called her the Marchioness.

It is not that no one wants to drive her away from this mansion and occupy the huge property left by Moriarty, but even though Moriarty is dead, the residual power still envelopes this mansion.Anyone approaching this mansion with malicious intentions encountered accidents on the way. After a few months, the Lucifer family suffered heavy casualties. Just the direct members with the surname Lucifer died three times. There are countless side branches, guards, and retinues who are seriously injured and dying.

After similar incidents happened repeatedly, no one dared to act rashly anymore, and the original rumors about Moriarty's title of "God's Blessed One" also turned in the opposite direction, and it became that the one who was truly favored by God was not Moriarty himself , but this mansion where he once lived.According to the latest rumors, as long as you own this mansion, you can get the blessings of the gods, everything will go smoothly, and your wishes will come true, and this is why Moriarty has lived in the imperial capital all year round, and is not willing to return to the territory easily.

In this way, although no one dared to use violent means to expel Li Qi, there were more people who had other intentions and wanted to obtain this mansion in a gentle way.

The fact that Lizzie was pursued by Joey but finally chose Hill was spread out somehow. Since then, Lizzie has received many invitations to social gatherings every day, and such occasions are not much bigger than Hill. There are also handsome and handsome young aristocrats, who surround Li Qi, court her, and try to win her heart—although it is impossible for the Balotelli family to take the initiative to cancel the engagement, Li Qi, who is the other party to the marriage contract, is There is such a possibility, when the time comes, they will be able to replace Hill and become the new owner of the mansion.

Of course, the orthodox heirs of the nobility would disdain to do such a thing, and their families would not dare to let them take risks on the territory of Moriarty's strange god-favored man.Those suitors who heard the news were all offshoots and second sons of various families. They could not get the inheritance rights of their own families and could only find opportunities through marriage. To them, Li Qi was like a delicious piece of fat. It can make them ascend to the sky in one step, soaring to the top.

Regarding these matters, Hill just watched with cold eyes, did not intervene, and did not ask.

At this time, Hill no longer cared whether Lizzy would break up the engagement. From the bottom of his heart, he even hoped that Lizzy would do that.Although he told Kitsch that Lizzy could bear him a child, in fact, as long as a woman can do such a thing, Lizzy doesn't have to be Lizzy at all.The biggest reason he got engaged to Lizzy was her Chimera blood - not so that she would have a child with Chimera blood and the Balotelli surname, but to trade her Chimera blood for Balotelli from her grandfather Inheritance of the Turley family.

And now, it doesn't make sense anymore.

Perhaps it was stimulated by Keech's assassination of Moriarty at the engagement ceremony. After experiencing violent mood swings from joy to shock, the aged Count Balotelli finally couldn't bear the ravages of time and fell ill in the on his own bed.Realizing that he was running out of time and that he might be about to die, Count Balotelli finally let go of his stubborn power for many years and handed over the badge representing the Balotelli family inheritance to Angel. He also wrote a will establishing Angel as the heir of the Balotelli family and sent it to Emperor De Rossi.

Although the emperor would not interfere with the family inheritance of the nobles under normal circumstances - after all, from the emperor's point of view, the more internal friction among other nobles, the better it is in the emperor's interests. but.But Hill's father, Angor, had a close relationship with Emperor De Rossi. From a certain point of view, Angel's interests were De Rossi's interests.Now, with the badge and this will, even if Uncle Oliver plays any tricks, even if he makes another will, Emperor De Rossi can justifiably assign the title to Ingres and let Oliver's family leave the house .

Of course, if Oliver really had the blood of the Balotelli family in his bones, he shouldn't do such stupid things.After all, both Angel and Hill wanted to stay in the imperial capital of Assia and could not return to the territory of the Balotelli family. They had to appoint another member of the immediate family to stay there and take on the heavy responsibility of managing the territory.

As Angel's only younger brother, Oliver is naturally the best candidate for this matter. Therefore, although he cannot get the title, he can still stay in the territory and enjoy the wealth and power of the acting lord.And Hill has no brothers, even if it is his turn to inherit the title in the future, Oliver or his children will definitely be in charge of this land—this is much more cost-effective than using all his wealth to win a title that may not be available .

——I hope that my uncle's family can be smart enough, otherwise he doesn't mind following Sirius' example and eradicating the roots, so as to avoid future troubles forever.

Hill was still thinking wildly, but the carriage had already stopped, and the door was opened. Moriarty once lived there, and now Lizzie's huge mansion is in sight.

Hill got out of the carriage and had just climbed the steps in front of the main entrance when Lizzie, who had heard the news, had already appeared in front of him with a maid.

"Sill, don't you go to the Rose Manor at this time of the week? Why do you come to my place?" Lizzy asked in surprise and doubt.

"Suddenly missed you, so I wanted to come over to see your face." Hill stared at Li Qi's face, said intently and affectionately.

Hill didn't lie, he did come here for this face, but when he looked at this face, he thought of another person, someone who had just shared happiness with him, but would probably never see him again in the future people.

"Oh, Hill, I hope you don't say such love words to every girl!" Li Qi smiled coquettishly, took Hill's arm, and led him into her mansion, walking He said, "It just so happens that Rocky is here too. He is going to take part in the assessment of the great magician soon, so he came here to bid farewell to me today."

——Are you here to bid farewell to you, or to inquire about the secrets passed down by the Chimera family?

Hearing that Rocky was here, Hill couldn't help but secretly sneered.

After the farce and tragedy of the engagement ceremony, the relationship between Lizzy and Rocky became more and more intimate. Although the surnames were different, the two often appeared together as siblings in various social gatherings in Yasha City. It was a pleasure to cooperate.

However, according to the results of Hill's side-by-side inquiries, Rocky did not return to Lizzy the magic bracelet that belonged to Lizzy that Kiki threw to him.And Rocky actually didn't get anything from that bracelet, except that the bracelet itself is a space magic device that can hold things, and there are only some jewelry and property in it, and there is no "inheritance" that Keech said at all.

When Kiki said the word inheritance, Hill had doubts, but he knew that the inheritance of the Chimera family was Lizzy herself, and it was not a foreign object such as a magic weapon or a magic book. It was just Kiki. He never lied, so that even he believed the so-called inheritance after only doubting for a while.

Rocky obviously also believed that Kidge would not lie, so he decided that there was indeed a secret hidden in the bracelet, but it was hidden by Ricky.But looking back now, Hill feels that Keech did not lie, but also did not tell the truth. The inheritance of the Chimera family was indeed passed on to Likki from their grandmother, and the magic bracelet really belonged to them. What the grandmother left Li Qi, but the inheritance is not in the bracelet, but in Li Qi itself.

——Where did Keech learn such plausible "true" words?

After thinking this through, Hill couldn't help but smile wryly.

Thanks to those words, now both nobles and magicians think that Keech killed Moriarty to avenge their ancestors, and cut ties with Likki because she betrayed her surname and devoted herself to the enemy camp.No one doubts Hill's role in this, just as he is an unlucky guy who wants to marry a friend's sister to deepen their friendship, but turns out to be self-defeating and turns against his friend.

——Kiki still cares about his feelings and is willing to think about him.

It was precisely because of this realization that Hill became more determined to break up with Keech.

He can no longer hurt Kiki, or even use him. Now many people have noticed Kiki, and even his father, Angel, has re-examined Kiki's strength and ability, and even urged him to reconcile with this boy as soon as possible, so that This boy can be driven and used by the Balotelli family and even the Yalong Empire.

Hill is unwilling to do this. He belongs to the Balotelli family, and it is his duty and responsibility to sacrifice and dedicate to the family, but all of this has nothing to do with Keech.

Keech can only be his - his, not the Balotelli family.

Except for him, no one can have Kiki's idea, not even his father Angel.

What's more, Keech can't be driven by everyone. Father Angel doesn't understand the horror of Keech, let alone Keech's self-willedness and stubbornness, unscrupulous, and doing whatever he wants.

Hill ignored his father's request and made up his mind to sever ties with Keech.But after the engagement ceremony, Kiki disappeared from everyone's sight. He wrote to Tina to inquire, and only got the news that Kiki and Amir were together.

Hearing this news, Hilton suddenly had some kind of ridiculous realization.

From a certain point of view, he stole Kiki from this man named Amir, but in the end, he had to abandon Kiki and watched him return to Amir's hands.

——Is this fate, or retribution?

Hill didn't know, didn't care, and if it happened again, he would definitely do the same thing again.

Even if you know the ending.

Thinking of this, Hill lowered his eyelids, adjusted his emotions, put on a decent smile as always, followed Lizzy into the living room, and turned his gaze to Rocky who was sitting in the living room waiting for them.

——Using this kind of thing is more suitable for this kind of guy who would not feel sorry for dying.

Seeing Rocky who stood up to greet them with a smile on his face, Hill raised the corner of his mouth mockingly.
