The news of De Rossi's death was like yesterday's rain to Keech, it happened as it happened, without any emotion.

But shortly after De Rossi's death, Keech suddenly discovered that Hill, who hadn't been in contact with him for a long time, began to deliver gifts to Chimera's castle. And Keech was not asked for a reply.

Keech wondered how Hill knew he was here, and after tentatively telling Amir about it, he realized that the leaker should be Tina.Tina didn't live in Amir's new mage tower on the source island, but stayed in the Asshai Magic Association. Hill kept in touch with her and would visit her from time to time.

"Tina knows that you often go back to Chimera Castle, so she probably told Hill." Amir said helplessly, "She doesn't know what happened to you and Hill. I will help you to reconcile."

Knowing this was the reason, Kiki curled his lips, and put the matter behind him in a blink of an eye, and only asked Rafa to put the things and letters sent by Hill at random, and he didn’t have to give anything to Hill in the future. He looked over.

Rafa did not doubt the relationship between Hill and Keech, but only thought that Hill wanted to ease the stalemate relationship between Keech and Liech.Keech also has to admit that the relationship between brother-in-law and brother-in-law is really a cover-up, especially if they are like them, even if they think about it, they will only think of things like flattery and clinging.

But Keech's ignorance didn't stop Hill. He continued on his own, turning a blind eye to Keech's indifference.

In the autumn of the third year after Sires ascended the throne, Sires fulfilled his promise to Kiki and sent someone to send Joy's body to Chimera's castle.At this time, the outside world did not know that Joey was dead, and Duke Grant only disappeared when he was hunting in the Ulamara Mountains, and he was anxiously sending people to look for him.

Hill didn't know that Joey had been given to Kiki by Sirius, and his body had been destroyed long ago, but he knew the agreement between Sirius and Kiki, so he guessed that this matter must have something to do with the two of them. related.

At this time, Hill could see Sirius' plan. He obviously wanted to control the military power of the entire empire in his own hands, and he was no longer willing to cultivate military families like Grant and Elan.In the past two years or so, Sirius has placed a lot of people inside and outside the Blue Dragon Corps and Aji City. Duke Grant himself also took the medicine to sever his offspring without knowing it, and it is impossible to give birth to another child. new heir.

However, the available talents in Sirius' hands are still limited, and even if all the Blue Dragon Army is taken over, they cannot be managed well, so they can only make long-term plans, first cut off the roots of the Grant family, and then slowly cut off the upper branches and leaves. Take the whole tree for yourself.

Hill could not and could not intervene in Sirius' plan to seize power.From the perspective of the empire, the existence of the Grant family is indeed not conducive to the stability of the empire. It is like a source of danger that may trigger a raging fire at any time. Only by completely extinguishing it can the hidden danger be eliminated.

But Hill really didn't want Joey to be sacrificed like this, and he didn't want his mother Paris to be sad.

After hesitating for a few days, Hill resolutely asked Sirius to go to Yaji City for help.

Sirius froze for a moment and then nodded in agreement. He only hoped that Hill would not stay there for too long, after all, there are still many things that need his help in the imperial capital.

Seeing Sirius' calm attitude, Hilton felt a chill in his heart, and intuitively felt that Joey might be in danger.

When Hill rushed to Yaji City and saw Mrs. Paris, who was already crying into tears, this premonition became stronger and more serious, just like when he felt that his father was about to leave.

Hill lived in Yaji City for a whole month, but after all, he couldn't wait for Joey to return, so he could only return to Yasha sadly.

After returning to Assia, Hill wrote a letter to Keech, asking him cryptically if he knew where Joey was going, but this letter, like all the letters sent before, fell into the sea again without any response.

Hill could only sigh, put away his regret and condolences for Joey, and returned to the government affairs of the imperial capital.

However, one night half a month later, Hill packed up the documents that would be brought to the palace the next morning, walked out of the study, and prepared to go to the bathroom to take a shower before going to bed and falling asleep.

But just as Hill sat down in the bath, soft footsteps sounded behind him.

Hill thought it was a maid in the family who wanted to throw herself into her arms, and was about to speak out, when her soft and naked body was already pressed against his back, and then, a familiar voice rang in his ears, "Hill ,I miss you."

—Licky?

Hill was stunned for a moment, but goosebumps appeared on his arms involuntarily, causing him to subconsciously dodge to the side and break free from Li Qi's embrace.

Lizzie didn't seem to expect that he would break free, and was obviously stunned for a moment, but then rushed towards Hill again, but this time, before she could hug Hill, her bare feet slid on the smooth marble floor. slide up.

"Ah—" Li Qi suddenly screamed and fell heavily on the bathroom floor.

Hill also turned around angrily at this moment, wanting to reprimand Lizzie and tell her to get out of the bathroom, but before he could speak, Lizzy's strange behavior diverted his attention.

Li Qi just fell on the floor, but at this moment, she wailed as if she had been severely injured, but what she was holding was not her leg bones or toes, but her stomach.

Hill couldn't help but change his face, and immediately called Lucy, asking her to find someone to carry Lizzy back to the room, and then ask a doctor to come over and check Lizzie's body.

And the results of the inspection, just as Hill was most worried about, made him feel even worse.

Lizzie is pregnant.

But Hill is very clear that since the last pregnancy, he has never touched Li Qi again.

Reminiscent of Li Qi showing up naked in the bathroom before and acting as if seducing him, Hill's heart suddenly became like a mirror——

Lizzie has a lover, and, moreover, a child.

—Damn it!

Hill couldn't help clenching his fists, feeling murderous for the first time in his life.

Keech couldn't possibly know what was going on in the distant city of Asshai, so when he received a message from Rafa in the mage's tower on Source Island suggesting he was going to the Chimera's castle soon, he never expected to be there Meet Hill.

Kiki followed Rafa into the living room, wondering why Rafa called him over, suddenly looked up, only to find that Hill was sitting in front of him.

Kiki stopped immediately and turned to look at Rafa next to him.

"Earl Balotelli said he had something important to discuss with you about Miss Lizzy, so I asked Hasari to bring him in." Rafa shrugged disapprovingly.

Although he said he didn't care about Chimeras other than Yeqi, in fact, Rafa really hoped that the bloodline of Chimeras would continue from generation to generation.Because of this, since the birth of Lizzy's first child, Rafa began to look forward to the appearance of the second child. Rafa, a girl who continued the Chimera lineage, was very disappointed.

Today, the reason why Rafa would let Hill in nine times out of ten is to find an opportunity to persuade him and Li Qi to have a few more children.

Thinking of this, Kiki couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, raised his hand to drive Rafa out of the room, and closed the door heavily.

Hill was about to get up to speak, but Keech made a silent movement first, then walked to the corner, took out a simple paintbrush he modified based on the elemental pen, and drew a few magic circles on the wall, isolating Rafah and the trespassing and eavesdropping of castle spirits.

After doing this, Kiki turned around and walked up to Hill, and asked indifferently, "What are you doing here?"

"Licky, I'm pregnant." Hill clenched his fist and finally said it bluntly.

Keech couldn't help looking puzzled, and tilted his head to look at Hill.

—he had come here on purpose to tell him that, did he think he would be glad to hear such news?

Keech lowered his face, and was about to drive Hill out of the castle, but Hill had spoken again.

"That's not my child," Hill said bitterly.

"What...what?" Kiki was taken aback for a moment.

"She was pregnant with someone else's child." Hill took a deep breath, and said word by word, "She had a lover behind my back, and she also had a child with that person."

Kiki stared blankly at Hill, not knowing whether he should be sympathetic or angry, or should he deserve the curse?

After a while, Kiki hesitated and said, "What do you mean by telling me this? What do you want me to do?"

"I can't keep this child." Hill stared into Keech's eyes and said expressionlessly, "But, although it is not a child of the Balotelli family, it must have Chimera blood, so, in the disposal Before, I had to ask your opinion - do you want to keep it?"

Kiki opened his mouth, but in the end he could only say helplessly: "I don't understand what you mean, can you explain it more clearly?"

"I can't let this child stay at home and grow up as a descendant of the Balotelli family." Hill gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly, "But if you need an heir to the Chimera family, I will wait until it is born, Then send it to you. If, if you don't need it, then I will find a way to dispose of it now."

"You want to kill Li Qi?" Keech asked in a daze.

What Hill said was completely beyond Keech's expectations, so much so that he didn't know what expression to use to face Hill now—he couldn't imagine that Lizzy, who liked Hill so much, would be so quick There is a lover, and she is pregnant with that person's child!You know, Hill was so close to him, but since he married Li Qi, he has not continued to have a relationship with him!

Thinking of this, Keech couldn't help but feel that Liech really deserved to die, he had to die!

"No." Hill shook his head, denying Kiki's guess, "I just want to deal with that child who shouldn't appear, and won't hurt Li Qi, she...is your sister after all..."

Keech opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak. He could only bite his lip and think carefully about the two options Hill proposed.

Hill also looked at Keech nervously, but the reason for the tension was not to worry about what choice Keech would make, but whether Keech would return to him after the choice.It took him a lot of time to find an opportunity for Kiki to no longer ignore him, and he didn't want to waste it like this, letting Kiki leave his side again.

After a while, Keech raised his head and said to Hill: "Let her give birth to the child. Although I don't know how to raise it, Rafa here will definitely be willing to take care of it, especially—that is Words from a girl."

"I understand." Hill nodded, and then hesitated to speak.

"Is there anything else?" Keech asked proactively.

"I want...to hug you." Hill stared at Kiki's obviously mature face, and murmured, "Just, hug you."

Keech lowered his eyelids and said nothing, but he didn't refuse either.

Hill immediately opened his arms uncontrollably and held Kiki in his arms.

The hug lasted so long that Keech couldn't help thinking about what it was like to be hugged by Hill before, and what they did after the hug.But today, it was just a simple hug. Although it took a long time, but after letting go, Hill did not push forward to make more demands. He only told Kitsch about the approximate time of production, and hoped that Kitsch could arrive by then. A trip to Yaxia City took the child away in person.

Keech hesitated for a moment, nodded in agreement, but then couldn't help asking: "Who is the one who made Likkie pregnant?"

"She won't tell." Hill shook his head with a wry smile, "I can't force her to ask questions at a time like this."

"...I will know one day." Kiki narrowed his eyes and said indifferently.

Hill did not spend the night in the castle. Accompanied by Rafa, he had lunch with Kiki, and then was sent out of the castle by Hasari, and sat in the carriage of the Balotelli family who had been waiting by the lake. Go to the city of Demira under the protection.

Keech didn't return to the source island right away, but stayed in Chimera's castle, and wandered around the castle alone.

Kiki couldn't tell what kind of mood he was in at the moment. He might be a little angry, but it was definitely not bad. At most, it was a little complicated, but more of it was... confused.

Keech knew that Hill wanted to get back together with him. Although Hill kept his thoughts very secretive today, if he didn't have that kind of thought, why would he keep sending gifts to the castle over the past few years? , Sending letters, how can you come out to expose your ugliness now?Wouldn't it be better to deal with such a scandal quietly and quietly?

Keech pouted, disapproving of Hill's habitual layout.

However, it's just that it doesn't matter.

Kitsch sighed helplessly, and looked down at the obsidian bracelet on his right wrist.After a few years of complete separation, he suddenly realized that what he resented most about Hill was not that he married Lizzie, but that he had proposed to break up with him.

This is the only thing that Keech does not want to forgive anyway, and because of this, even though he was reluctant to throw away the things Hill sent, and even lost sleep due to missing in the middle of the night, Keech still stubbornly refused to reconcile with Hill , let alone be an ordinary in-law or ordinary friend with him.

——They were never friends, never were, and never will be!

Kitsch bit his lip, and was about to turn around and send the magic circle back to the source island, but when he raised his head, he felt that the surrounding was not quite right.

Chimera's castle has always been silent, but it will never be so quiet that even time seems to stand still.

Kiki squinted his eyes and found that his ability had also failed, so he immediately rolled his eyes and called out someone's name.

"Moriarty—"

"I'm here."

Hearing Kiki's call, the black-haired god came out of the corner with a smile.

"I thought you wouldn't show up again." Keech pouted.

"I have to report the result to the contractor, so I can leave with peace of mind." Moriarty walked up to Kiki with a smile, "However, this should be the last time we meet, at least, it looks like this the last time."

"...I don't know when I made a contract with you, does it mean that bet?" Kiki asked with a frown.

"No, the person who made the contract with me is your grandfather—oh, no, it's your grandfather." Moriarty corrected his slip of the tongue deliberately.

"The guy who was put under house arrest by Lucifer's family and then died?" Kiki was slightly taken aback.

"It's that poor fellow!" Moriarty immediately put on a resentful expression, "Although that family is useless, they know how to summon me and offer me a contract! It's because of him that I have to endure this The vice skin came to this world, changed the wheel of fate that I originally set, and fulfilled his wish for him at the risk of destroying the time node!"
