After the airship arrived at the Magic Association, Sirius and Adong went straight back to the palace under the escort of Joy and other knights.Xier Shang did not have the right to enter and leave the palace. After entering the city of Yasha, he parted ways with Sirius and others. He first sent Sandora to the Golden Lotus, asked for a room for her there, and then brought Li Qi Return to Balotelli's mansion.

"Why didn't Sandra go to your house with us?" On the way, Li Qi asked curiously.

"My dear, she is different from you." Hill replied with a smile.

Lizzie smiled sweetly and shyly immediately, and Hill didn't continue to explain, allowing Lizzie to make further guesses in the direction she liked.

The two quickly returned to the Balotelli family's mansion. The butler had already brought people waiting at the door to welcome Hill and his party into the main house.

Hill asked Lucy to take Lizzy to the guest room to rest, and went back to her room alone.During the time outside, he has become more and more used to serving himself. Although it is a bit hard, he is more comfortable and at ease.

But Lucy settled Li Qi much faster than Hill expected. He was still soaking in the hot water in the bathroom to relieve his fatigue. Lucy knocked on the door and walked in, bringing him his father. Angor's order.

"Master Angel hopes that you can go to see him before dinner." Lucy knelt and said.

"I see." Hill closed his eyes and replied lightly.

Hill was not surprised by his father's summoning.A lot of things happened during the time he left the imperial capital, and my father must have a lot to ask him, from his cooperation with Prince Sirius to Li Qi's identity, and the reason why he brought her into the mansion, perhaps, And dragons.

Of course, he also has a lot of things to ask his father, such as Kevin's disposal, such as Emperor De Rossi's true perception of what Prince Siris did, such as the extent of the rumors in the oracle manor.

While Hill was thinking about how to negotiate with his father for a while, he raised his hand and rejected Lucy who wanted to help him take a bath, and asked her to go out and prepare the clothes that needed to be changed after the bath.

Thinking about it, Hill couldn't help thinking of Kiki, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, his white and slender body and the beauty of that day.

He finally knew how ecstasy the folds between those snow-white mounds were!

For a moment, he even felt that he came to this world just to feel this kind of taste.

——It was because of meeting Kiki that he couldn't be attached to women, and Kiki obviously came into the world because of him!

—Anyway, he got him at last!

Hill tensed his body subconsciously, reminiscing about all the good things that day.

But such memories didn't last long, and Hill quickly restrained his rising blood, and turned his thoughts back to the things he was about to face now.

——Is his father satisfied with his performance around Sirius, and will he agree to marry Lizzy?

Hill reached out and grabbed the towel that Lucy put aside, got up and walked out of the bath.

Half an hour later, Hill appeared at the door of his father Angel's conservatory, took a deep breath, and then opened the door and walked in.

Perhaps it was because it was approaching dinner time, Angel did not paint in the conservatory as in the past, but sat alone on the chair beside the round table, sipping a cup of hot black tea, seeing Hill come in, he only raised his chin slightly , gesturing for him to sit across from him.

"Father." Hill bowed to Angel and sat down according to his instructions.

"Long time no see, my son." Angel said with a smile.

"It's actually not that long, Father." Hill replied seriously, "And it's much earlier than I expected."

"I don't think there will be such a thing as an earthquake in your expectation." Angel laughed.

"Of course, we are not gods who can predict the future." Hill replied with a feeling.

Angel chuckled, and then asked about Hill's experience and insights during the trip.

Hill didn't hide, but he didn't go into too much detail either.There are two eyeliners of his father beside him, and his father must have known about everything that needs to be reported. As for the remaining things that have not been known to his father, he does not need to take the initiative to confess.

Angor's question also obviously focused on Hill's feelings. After getting a satisfactory answer, he asked about the official position that Hill wanted to get next.

"If possible, I hope it is a place where I can meet more people." Hill replied seriously.

Angel smiled noncommittally, and did not expressly express whether he would fulfill Hill's wish.

What made Hill slightly puzzled was that Angel didn't ask about the Oracle Manor. After talking about the next step of development, he asked Lizzy directly.

"The rumors about you and her have already spread back to the imperial capital, my dear son." Angel's expression was a little unhappy, which made Hill feel that his father might not like Li Qi.

"I want to marry her, father." Hill replied bluntly.

"Reason." Hearing this sentence, Angel frowned as Hill expected.

"She's the perfect woman for me," Hill replied.

"I hope this one is the best, not just because she has the exact same face as your favorite magician." Angel said expressionlessly.

"Father." Hill's heart trembled, but he immediately returned to normal, "You misunderstood me."

"Come on, my son, I watched you grow up." Angel said indifferently, "No nobleman will be like you. You haven't touched any woman until you are 18 years old. You are not a firm believer. There is no need, let alone sense, to do so.”

"Father--"

"If you are doing this because you are worried that you will not be able to fulfill the obligations of a husband, then there is no need." Angel raised his hand to stop Hill, and continued, "There are many ways to solve this kind of thing, such as drugs If you don't believe me, I can let you try one of them now, so that you can experience the wonderful taste of fish and water."

Hill took a deep breath, stopped refuting his father, and said instead, "Licky has two magician younger brothers, one is 16 years old and the other is 15 years old, and they both have passed the intermediate magician examination."

"Did you forget that she also has an elder brother who is a priest?" Angel reminded.

"No, I haven't forgotten, but after she became the adopted daughter of the Marquis Moriarty Lucifer, such things are insignificant." Hill replied calmly.

"The adopted daughter of Lucifer's family?" Angel raised his eyebrows.

"The adopted daughter of the Marquis." Hill emphasized, "This matter has not been announced yet, but it will not be hidden for long."

Angel immediately pondered, but quickly shook his head again, "No, you can't, you're thinking things too simply. Let's not talk about the purpose of the divinely favored one to adopt this lady— —oh, how could he take a grown-up woman as an adopted daughter, when he himself is not yet thirty!"

"The Lucifer family will not interfere, father, they dare not." Hill said.

"What about the Marquis himself? After he adopts her, will he be willing to marry her to you?" Angor asked, "And, do you think such a woman can be accepted by your grandfather? Especially when she is accepted by Lucy After the Marquis Phil adopted him—Lucifer, he hated this surname to death!"

"You are right. I really need to confirm the attitude of the Marquis." Hill nodded, but immediately changed his tone and said with certainty, "But my grandfather will definitely not object to this marriage. Pretty sure."

Angel was slightly taken aback, as if surprised by Hill's words, but immediately fell into deep thought as if remembering something.

Hill didn't speak again, waiting for his father to think about the matter.

After a while, Angel said: "Let's put this matter aside for now, at least until the Lucifer family officially adopts this young lady."

"I understand, father." Hill nodded in agreement, then changed the subject and said, "Speaking of which, Prince Siris has also reached the age of engagement."

"He won't get married." Angel shook his head, showing a helpless expression, "Or, he can't."

Hill couldn't help but froze for a moment, "How is this possible?"

"This is the price." Angel sighed, "You must have seen the dragon that appeared in the oracle manor."

"Yes." Hill nodded, "I accompanied His Royal Highness to meet it."

"It's better to use 'he', my son, the dragons don't like being called 'it', it will irritate them." Angor warned, and then continued, "Since you have seen that dragon , then I must already know that A-Dong next to His Royal Highness is actually a young dragon."

"...Yes." Hill nodded again.

"Her real name is Tong, and she is the child of the Red Dragon Queen of the Dragon Clan." Angel said slowly as if recalling, "Shortly after His Majesty De Rossi took the throne, the Dragon Clan followed the contract they made with the royal family. , to send the new baby dragon to His Majesty to replace the last guardian dragon——Perhaps you have heard that there was a jester beside the late Emperor, although he was a male, he lived in the palace all the time and was with him all the time His Majesty the First Emperor is around."

"No, father, I haven't heard of this person." Hill shook his head, but immediately asked, "Is his name Xiong?"

"You know his name, but you haven't heard of him?" Angel asked suspiciously.

"I haven't heard of him, but I have seen him, in the oracle manor of Lucifer's family." Hill recounted the events of that day with a wry smile.

"The pampering of the young by the dragon clan is incomprehensible to humans." After hearing Hill's words, Angel sighed, "Two adult dragons will often fight each other to the death, but no dragon will harm you." An underage young dragon, even if he is the heir of his deadly enemy."

"This Xiong is His Majesty's guardian dragon?"

"Yes, this is the contract made by Emperor Borgia and the Dragon Clan. The Yalong Empire divided the Dragon Clan into a piece of territory to ensure that they can live undisturbed, and the Dragon Clan will send their heirs Always be by the Emperor Yalong's side and act as their guardian." Angel nodded, "Usually, Your Excellency Tong should be the guardian dragon of His Majesty De Rossi, but the envoy of the dragon sent her to the palace. Afterwards, she refused to sign a contract with His Majesty De Rossi, and instead fell in love with His Royal Highness Prince Siris, who was about the same size as her—at that time, their ages were indeed about the same."

"But what does this have to do with His Royal Highness's marriage?" Hill was puzzled.

"When His Excellency Tong reached the contract with His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness made a promise to her that he would be with her forever. To His Royal Highness at that time, this was just the most beautiful words he could think of, but to the Dragon Clan Said, but this means that they have reached a partnership contract at the same time as they concluded the guardianship contract." Angel smiled bitterly, "At that time, adults including the dragon envoys did not take this matter to heart until the prince His Highness became an adult, and the guiding lady that His Majesty gave to His Highness was burned to charcoal by His Excellency Tong, and His Royal Highness himself rejected the new guiding lady, and His Majesty De Rossi realized the seriousness of the matter—obviously, His Highness and His Excellency Tong wanted abide by their commitments."

"This..." Hill opened his mouth, but found it difficult to comment, so he could only pretend to be calm and smiled, "If Your Highness can let a dragon princess give birth to an heir, it will be very good for the future of the empire."

"Do you think it's possible?" Angor glanced at Hill mockingly, "Let's not talk about whether the blood of the dragons can merge with humans, even if it can, His Royal Highness Siris can't wait until the day when His Excellency Tong conceives an offspring .”

Speaking of this, Angel sighed, "Because of this, His Majesty has not been able to make up his mind to establish Prince Siris as the heir apparent."

——This is indeed a very bad thing.

Hill could only sigh secretly.

Nothing could be worse for a royal family than not being able to produce an heir, and even a young brother in Sirius could not make up for the fact that he had no offspring of his own.Although Sirius can make Kesley his heir, and their ages are quite different, but from a more secure point of view, the nobles are obviously more willing to make Kesley the heir of His Majesty De Rossi. Seres assisted as regent.

But would Sirius be willing to hand over the throne to his younger brother?No, of course he would not, otherwise, why would he risk offending His Majesty De Rossi to kill Filian?Sirius' ambition is far from being satisfied by a regent.

Hill frowned, thinking secretly.

After some discussions, Angel accepted the fact that Lizzy would temporarily live in the Balotelli family's mansion, and welcomed her in a more formal manner at the dinner table.

But in the middle of the dinner, the housekeeper in the mansion suddenly walked into the dining room and whispered something in Angel's ear, causing Angel to show a surprised expression, and immediately put down the tableware, Get up and leave the restaurant.

Doing so is bad manners, especially in the presence of a guest, and it usually signifies the host's disdain and unwelcome for the guest.

Although Hill didn't think his father would express his dislike for Lizzy in such a childish way, Lizzy couldn't help becoming nervous and looked at Hill anxiously, trying to get some comfort from him.

But before he knew what was going on, Hill couldn't make up a reason at will. Seeing that Lizzy had no intention of eating, he simply ended the dinner and asked Lucy to send Lizzy back to the room. He found the housekeeper and asked him about his father. whereabouts.

Hill quickly found him in his father's study room, and there were two uninvited guests with him—Seres and Adong.

"Father kicked me out of the palace." Seeing Hill coming in, Sirius smiled and explained calmly.
