“Me too.”
Hitzfeld forced a smile.
"Your dreams cannot be observed by Yingye. You also have to promise me not to bring Emily to sneak near that place again."
“It’s too important there.”
“We’ll try to figure it out together.”
"Let's solve it together."
"Let's face it together."
When she said the word "together", she subconsciously mispronounced the word. Alwyn undoubtedly heard it, but she thought it was more of a concern for her.
She didn't think about anything else at all, and didn't notice that the other three people in the room were looking at her with meaningful eyes.
……
After dinner, while washing dishes, Hitzfeld called the mother and daughter to the kitchen. The first thing he said was, "I can promise you number 221."
Only she is qualified to make such a promise.
That was the property left to her by Mrs. Glee, and Xia Yibing's words were not trustworthy.
"But don't be too quick to be happy."
With an expressionless face, Hitzfeld stared at the two bastards hugging each other, crossed his arms over his chest, and tried his best to keep a straight face.
"Before we get this qualification, we have some more important things to discuss."
“This is really related to our future.”
Kevin, please take a leave this early morning.
I'll try to adjust my status...
My mind is in a mess, sometimes I am thinking about the plot here and sometimes I jump to other places. . I am really sorry~~~ I will make up the word count before the end of the month! ! ! !

Chapter 44: Suspected (Two in One)
"I didn't expect it to be like this..."
Taking advantage of the night, Emily walked along a country road holding her mother's hand, still thinking about the task she was assigned a few minutes ago.
She glanced at Xia Yibing who was walking normally next to her. She had never felt that taking a walk after a meal was so awkward.
"What else?" Xia Yibing could guess what she was thinking even without looking at her. "Your request is not excessive in peacetime. As long as you want to try, it will be good for you. We will not stop you."
"But it's different now. After all, you have entered Alvin's dream. You have realized the nature of this world. You can no longer just care about yourself."
But I didn’t expect to be included in the plan directly!
Emily kicked her big leather boots hard, using this action to relieve the anxiety that was rising in her heart.
Xia Yibing certainly noticed her psychological changes, but she didn't say anything. She agreed with Hitzfeld too much in this regard. She thought this was a necessary test for Emily.
how to say……
Emily can barely be considered to have been born in a "peaceful era".
When she began to know this world, the old order had been covered by the shadow night, and many dirty things had been cleansed away, so that she was not exposed to so much dark side while growing up.
She had indeed heard a lot of things, such as stories about some people - like Leon Cornerell and Ethan Heidegger - who were related to monsters, curses, tragedies, and regrets.
Because of her intelligence and understanding, she can comfort people in just the right way, and every time she comforts them, she has gained a lot of goodwill, and almost everyone likes her.
But she only understood it superficially, she knew "what happened" and "you can change your attitude based on these things." However, she had never experienced these emotions in person, she had never faced them with Leon and Ethan, so they were just stories to her.
Therefore, this child's understanding of things is slightly one-sided and contradictory.
On the one hand, she knew which things were very important and she must not hide anything.
On the other hand, she sincerely believed that all problems and troubles could be solved by the two mothers.
And the Gray Mist Temple... So what if it imprisoned a large number of evil gods?
I have discovered this matter and have done a great job. My mother will definitely praise me after solving this problem, so I shouldn't have to worry about this matter anymore.
After all, if it was something really important, how could mom still have the heart to eat?
Moreover, he tried to invite so many people to his home, which seemed very confident!
Then I can think about how to continue exploring that dream with Sister Alwin, continue to make more contributions, and then use these contributions to exchange for privileges from my mother - such as opening an independent "Hitzfeld Office".
This is how Emily perceives the incident.
She didn't quite know what enemy the mothers were facing.
I have to say that they did make a change this time. From Emily's habits, we can see that she was well protected by her family before. Because she is really only that old, it is too early to talk about independence at this age.
Hitzfeld discussed this issue with Xia Yibing, and both of them felt that it would be better not to let Emily bear too much pressure.
After all, they all grew up in an environment lacking family affection. They have suffered those hardships, so it is inevitable that they want to give back to their daughter with greater strength.
However, the Abyss and Secret History changed their mindset.
They began to realize that this was not a "peaceful era". Although the sky had cleared up again and the shadowy night had brought peace back to the darkness, there were still invisible hands manipulating the course of history.
The war has never stopped. Rather than hiding the truth from her daughter and blaming them when she finds out.
Or wait until she gets "hurt" in this war...
Rather than letting her endure such pain and such great trauma, it is better to let her know everything in advance.
Even in the worst possible scenario, she shouldn't end up becoming a character like Haradini.
This was the "more important thing" that Hitzfeld finally talked to them about.
What else could it be?
emotion?
Marriage?
Do not make jokes……
They all began to worry about whether they would have to face their children's tombstones a hundred years from now, and other "lifespan" issues. When time is stretched to this extent, many things can no longer be judged right or wrong with a secular perspective.
If Emily and Alvin cannot surpass the lifespan of mortals in the future, they will inevitably die of old age. If Hitzfeld and Xia Yibing choose to accept their daughter's future, then from now on, they will not be too critical of her ideas about choosing a spouse.
As for the age difference between the two people...what are a dozen years compared to a hundred years of life?
If four years old doesn’t work, then wait until you’re a little older, sixteen or eighteen.
let it go.
If Emily still insisted at that time, and she had the ability to keep Alwin alone just to wait for her, why should they stop her?
As for if they have found their own "path" - if they have really found a path to achieve greatness, then there is no need for them to stop them.
Because in that case, the lifespans of the two people would also be measured in thousands or tens of thousands of years. The difference of a dozen years is so short compared to a hundred years of life. Wouldn't it be even less significant if it was thrown into the scale of thousands or tens of thousands of years?
They have too much time to deal with personal emotional issues.
But all this has a prerequisite, that is, the war must be ended first.
"That's pretty much it."
Xia Yibing briefly told her daughter these thoughts, looked up at the night sky and sighed.
"So you don't have to explain anything about this kind of thing."
"You can just pretend we don't know."
"As for this matter, as long as you don't take it to the final step with Alvin before you reach adulthood, we won't care."
“And what the end result looks like.”
"What the outcome of Hitzfeld and Harwin will be depends on you."
"Let's see if you have what it takes..."
This is definitely encouraging me, right?
Emily never expected that mothers would have such thoughts.
But it is true...
The life span of mortals is already a worrying issue, not to mention the threat of the gray fog ahead.
If this threat cannot be dealt with, then there is no need to worry about whether you will die of old age a hundred years from now. It is very likely that everyone will die, and everything in your cognition will be destroyed.
No wonder my mother agreed to let me use the house so readily. Compared with these things, a mere property is nothing.
Emily was thinking.
Keep thinking about what I gained tonight.
At first, she also thought that she had that kind of thoughts about her sister, the Queen. Needless to say, this was a new, novel and attractive world to explore for a child like her.
But is that really the case?
She had thought so, but listening to Mother Xia expressing her thoughts in such a bland tone, coupled with the situation she had heard from her mother not long ago, and the thought that she might be old and frail in a hundred years, destined to become only the "most important passer-by" in the lives of these two people, a huge sadness surged from the bottom of her heart, making her eyes swell uncontrollably... She was not sure if that was the case.
Is it possible that I was just curious for a moment, and that this feeling would fade over time?
Is it possible that I will change my mind in the future and fall in love with someone else?
There are too many uncertainties...
My sister and I didn’t even have that much experience in common, so it’s no wonder my mom didn’t care and wanted to restrict me until I was “older.”
If you told me this kind of truth under normal circumstances, I probably wouldn't listen.
But the "life expectancy issue" is right in front of us, and the "threat of war" has never gone away.
Compared to this pain, what are my feelings for my sister the Queen?
It is not as important as my mother...
Emily felt that her thoughts had been sublimated tonight, and she finally had a feeling that she was "beginning to become an adult."
But why am I not happy...
My maturity was recognized.
My mother accepted my help and was willing to see me as an equal "assistant" or even "comrade-in-arms." This should have been a development that I was extremely excited and proud of, but why was I not happy at all?
So this is what it feels like to grow up.
This feeling is so annoying...
The pain of possible tragedy, the confusion about future life, the nervous fear of the current crisis, and the disgust towards herself due to psychological transformation...all these emotions intertwined in Emily's heart at the same time. She couldn't help but burst into tears under the blow, and cried stubbornly, biting her lips.
"So why do you want to be an adult if you have nothing to do..."
Seeing her crying, Xia Yibing smiled. She bent down and held her daughter in her arms, letting her sit on her arms, and laughed at her little face: "The adult world is very heartwarming. It's not enough to have two mothers who love you. You don't know how to cherish it."
It hurts.
There is also regret and helplessness behind the smile.
Emily was already involved. They failed to protect their daughter. This was their negligence and incompetence...
"Do not."
The petite girl curled her lips, wiped her tears, and took out a hairband from somewhere, and tied her black hair into the same ponytail as Xia Yibing.
"I should thank my mother."
"I've thought it through... If this is really a peaceful era, it's fine, but in this situation, I have to be protected all the time... This kind of life is not what I want."
“It’s a terrible feeling, but I’d rather experience it sooner!”
“Because we are racing against time!”
"The sooner I know, the sooner I can know in which direction I should work hard! Do something!"
"Now, it's Emily's turn to protect you, mom!"
"Okay~ I'm waiting to be protected by you."
The daughter with her hair tied up should have looked sharp and capable, but she had just cried after all. Her tear-stained face and serious expression made Xia Yibing think she was too cute.
