Some things came faster than imagined.
When public opinion gradually calmed down, Nasha, who had been quiet for many days, suddenly made Kerry’s actions public in the name of the Holy Church of Light, including the reason for the Old Earl Hilar’s defeat. For a while, Earl Guaguez was also in unfavorable public opinion.
“It’s just making things worse!” Earl Guaguez dropped the cup angrily.
Garber watched from the sidelines, an embarrassed look appeared on his small face with a hint of baby fat: “Father…”
“Oh, my dear son” Earl Guaguez realized that he had scared Garber: “It’s not your fault, you don’t need to blame yourself.”
“But father, Brother Kerry didn’t mean it either.” Garber was still helping to put in some good words.
Speaking of Kerry, Earl Guaguez’s face was very ugly: “Huh! He was just a brat, yet he dares to wantonly break his engagement with the Holy Saint without consulting me.The downfall of the Hilar family is just a matter of time!”
“Father, help Brother Kerry again!” Garber pleaded.
How could Earl Guaguez still help Kerry? Now he was also deep in the vortex of public opinion and couldn’t even protect himself.
“Garber, don’t go looking for Kerry these days.” Earl Guaguez gave the order.
Although Garber and Kerry were good friends, he couldn’t ask for anything more for him under such circumstances.
Kerry’s situation was very passive. Now there were more and more forces against him among the city people, and some people were even blocking the entrance of the castle. If this continues, the Queen would hear about it and he would become the second old Earl Hilar.
“My lord, this is today’s document.” The housekeeper came over holding a stack of letters in his hand: “My lord, the voices against you from the outside world is getting louder and louder.” This is not the way to go on.
Kerry glanced at him irritably: “Don’t bother!”
“But……”
“Put the papers here and get out.”
The housekeeper sighedin his heart, he had done his job as the housekeeper.
The words on the document were like strings of twine, disturbing Kerry’s heart. Throwing down the quill in his hand in annoyance, Kerry stood up and casually fiddled with two books on the bookshelf. The bookshelf on the other side moved slowly, revealing the secret room behind.
The bookshelf shut with an audible click as Kerry stepped inside. The temperature of the study slowly dissipated as if there had never been anyone inside.
“A-Yan.”
Qi Yan, who was closing his eyes in the crystal coffin, suddenly heard a light call from his side. He opened his eyes and Kerry’s figure was reflected in his ice-blue eyes.
Across the crystal coffin, Kerry eyes were full of smiles: “Sure enough, seeing Ayan puts me in a better mood.”
“You shouldn’t be here now.” Qi Yan said softly: “Kerry, go and clarify those rumors.”
“Those are the truth.” Kerry gave a wry smile.
“If you don’t refute it, things will get worse.” Qi Yan moved his fishtail. He hadn’t swam for a long time, so his physical condition was not very good: “Nasha just hopes you don’t refute it. Don’t go along with it.”
Kerry was silent, neither agreeing nor refuting Qi Yan’s words, but just looked at Qi Yan with a smile.
It was like this again, Kerry always looked at himself like this, not saying anything but exuding a contented look.
Qi Yan couldn’t hate Kerry like this.
——He had never received family affection, had been abused, beaten, and humiliated. So far in his life, his only support was Qi Yan.
“Kerry, go out.”
No matter what the ending was, he would help Kerry without regrets.
The differences in species had created many trenches between the two that could not be crossed.
This time Kerry left and didn’t come again for a month.it was unknown how he could trust a maid and asked her to come and deliver food to Qi Yan every day. The maid was also trembling, and every time she put down something and looked at it, she didn’t dare to look at Qi Yan and left.
Qi Yan was unsure and wanted to go out even more. However, the crystal coffin was obviously not that simple to open. Even the food slots was integrated with the crystal coffin and there was no way out.
Qi Yan, who was getting more and more depressed, felt that his vision was getting blurry, his tail didn’t swing as often, and even felt a little stiff.
Today, the maid still came to deliver food and Qi Yan quickly stopped her when she was about to leave.
“I won’t make it difficult for you, you just have to tell Kerry that I want to see him.”
The maid nodded her head wildly and left quickly. Qi Yan didn’t know if she had told Kerry. He didn’t come anyway.
The next day, he still didn’t come.
It was not until another week passed that Kerry reappeared in this secret room.
“Kerry!” Qi Yan’s eyes widened at the sight of him.
“A-Yan.” Kerry responded, and instead of immediately walking to the side of the crystal coffin, he went to a pair of oil painting on the other side and took it down from the wall, revealing a small device inside.
Kerry took a deep breath, his eyes filled with complex emotions, but he still didn’t hesitate to put his hand over it and gently turned the device. The crystal on top of the crystal coffin slowly moved away.
The shock was overwhelming, Qi Yan felt that Kerry…was probably going to be finished.
“A-Yan, leave this place in a while and never come back.”
Kerry’s hurried instructions came from above his head. He carried Qi Yan out of the crystal coffin regardless of his drenched clothes.
“Never go back to this sea area, understand?”
“Kerry, what happened?” Being held in his arms, Qi Yan grabbed Kerry’s sleeve: “Tell me, what happened!”
“Nasha and Tom are together.” when he said this, there was a trace of hatred in Kerry’s voice.
He thought that putting Tom under his nose could let himself get his revenge against Tom as much as he wanted, but he didn’t expect him to collude with Nasha and told Nasha about the merman.……
They used this matter to make a fuss, creating rumors that Kerry was involved in a race war by imprisoning other races. This matter reached the Queen’s ears, so she had to bring in a thorough investigation.
If Qi Yan was discovered, he would be sent to the museum.
Kerry knew that he was finished. Without the blessing of Earl Guaguez, his path as an Earl had come to an end.
——However, he did not regret it.
..…
It was still the familiar road, going out through the side door and heading straight to the beach. That reef still stood there without the slightest change.
Putting Qi Yan into the sea, Kerry’s heart and eyes were all reluctant, but there was nothing he could do.
“A-Yan, I…” He opened his mouth, thousands of words were choked in his throat, and finally, it turned into two words.——
“I’m sorry.”
It felt very good to return to the sea, but Qi Yan did not leave. He raised his head,like the first time they met, looking at Kerry, although his ice-blue eyes were indifferent, they were extremely serious.
“Kerry, I’m leaving. You’re leaving too.”
If the Queen knew that Kerry had killed the old earl, he would only end up with a life for a life.
