Malevolent – Chapter 45 – Long-Lost Family, Rare Sense of Security

“Ah, my dear Ailiya, Miya, Weiya, you’re all safe, that’s wonderful!”

Accompanied by the excited voice,

A man with short azure hair, around thirty years old, descended from the sky surrounded by blue light, landing directly on the transport vehicle.

Then, under Xestila’s complicated gaze, this second young master of the House Anloxi eagerly rushed into the compartment, without hesitation opened his arms wide, and embraced Ailiya and the twins.

“Un-Uncle Hein?!”

After seeing the visitor’s face clearly, Ailiya couldn’t help but let out a joyful exclamation.

Upon finally seeing a family member again, seeing the uncle who had accompanied her for many years, Ailiya’s long-tense heart experienced a moment of relaxation for the first time.

The presence of family gave her a rare sense of security.

After a brief daze, Ailiya eagerly hugged Hein. Although Miya and Weiya, the two little ones, had few impressions of their uncle due to their young age,

Upon feeling an aura somewhat similar to their mother’s, the two little ones didn’t make a fuss and obediently allowed Hein to embrace them as well.

“Uncle Hein! Why are you here?”

After a brief embrace, Ailiya asked excitedly.

“Of course I came to find you all. Are you alright? I heard you were captured by corrupted beasts, were you hurt?”

“We’re fine, just a bit… hungry…”

Holding her little stomach, Ailiya said somewhat wearily.

Seeing this, Hein thoughtfully narrowed his eyes:

“Indeed, after so many days, you need to replenish your energy. Don’t worry, little Ailiya, uncle will help you replenish your energy right away. I’ve already prepared many potions over there.”

As he spoke, Hein smiled and reached out to ruffle Ailiya’s head.

On the other side,

After giving Hein and the Ailiya sisters a certain amount of intimate time, Xestila, who had been silent for a long while, slowly spoke:

“Lord Hein, excuse me for interrupting your intimate communication with your nieces.”

Although it was a polite statement, Xestila’s words implicitly contained a trace of vigilance.

“What is it, Lady Xestila?”

Hein slowly turned his head to meet Xestila’s gaze.

“Lord Hein, weren’t you discussing the subsequent search plan for Lady Lianna with my deputy? How is the situation over there?”

“Regarding that, please don’t worry, Lady Xestila. I’ve already arranged the specific search plan. The Valkyrie Battalion you lent me is also actively cooperating in the search. However…”

Speaking,

Hein meaningfully began:

“If we want to find my sister Lianna quickly, wouldn’t it be faster to inquire about clues from Ailiya and her sisters? Although I know that after obtaining clues, Lady Xestila would certainly notify me first, but as you know, I’m eager to find my sister… I don’t really want to wait.”

“I understand, I understand.”

Xestila nodded slightly with a forced smile.

Obviously, this Marshal did not want Hein to have contact with Ailiya and her sisters.

Hein seemed to know this as well, but his expression showed indifference. After briefly appeasing Xestila, Hein refocused his attention on Ailiya.

“Ailiya, do you know where your mother is now?”

“Well, it’s not convenient to say here.”

Ailiya lowered her head with complex emotions.

“I see.”

Hein smiled slightly, displaying an understanding attitude, and nodded repeatedly:

“Indeed, this isn’t a suitable place to talk.”

While nodding, Hein glanced at Xestila behind him with a strange look:

“Since that’s the case, let’s go home first, and talk slowly after we get home. By the way, your grandfather has been so worried about you all. When he learned that you had disappeared at the border of the Veiled Domain, he was so worried he couldn’t sleep. When he sees you all safely return, he’ll be overjoyed.”

“Grandfather…”

Silently murmuring this word, Ailiya felt a warmth in her heart.

In the past, when they were in the House Anloxi, besides her mother… grandfather was the person who cherished them the most.

Upon hearing that grandfather hadn’t been resting well, little Ailiya’s heart welled up with concern.

After all,

Grandfather was already advanced in years, and his health wasn’t good. If he didn’t rest properly, his body might not be able to bear it.

Seemingly perceiving Ailiya’s worry, Hein chuckled and continued:

“So let’s go home quickly; once grandfather sees you little ones, he’ll definitely be able to sleep soundly.”

With that,

Taking Ailiya’s small hand, Hein prepared to leave with the three children.

However,

This action was naturally not going to be allowed by Xestila.

The moment Hein turned around, Xestila directly blocked the doorway,

“What are you doing, Lord Hein?!”

“What am I doing? I’m taking my nieces home, of course, Lady Xestila.”

Hearing this,

Xestila’s expression darkened, and her tone became serious.

“I’m sorry, Lord Hein, you cannot take them away.”

“Why not?”

“Because these are the orders from the President.”

“President Lakbi’s orders?”

“Yes. The President has already commanded that after finding Miss Ailiya and her sisters, they are to be immediately escorted back to the Covenant capital.”

“Hehe,”

Hein shook his head and laughed,

“How interesting, I want to take my three nieces home for a family reunion? And the President won’t allow it?”

“Why won’t he allow it? You know the reason very well, don’t you?”

Xestila said in an annoyed tone.

Originally when facing Hein, Xestila had maintained a certain level of etiquette out of courtesy, and many things she merely understood without bringing them up. But now? Hein had already displayed a strong stance of wanting to take Ailiya and the others away, how could Xestila continue to be accommodating?

“These three daughters of Lady Lianna have inherited the Divine Graced power. Not only that, with Lady Lianna’s bloodline, they might be able to control the Sacred Stone in the future. You know what this means, don’t you? These three children are the gifts bestowed upon our Covenant by heaven. And your House Anloxi does not have the ability to protect this gift properly.”

“No ability?”

“Am I wrong? The President has already given your family a chance. But… look at what your family has been doing these years? If it weren’t for your chaotic family situation, these three children and Lady Lianna would not have disappeared around the Veiled Domain! Moreover…”

Xestila narrowed her eye slightly, and a strand of terrifying coldness gradually seeped from her single eye,

“Who knows whether your House Anloxi truly intends to raise Ailiya and her sisters properly.”

“Oh? What do you mean by that?”

“Hmph, what do you think I mean?”

Xestila replied in an annoyed tone. No longer pretending, Xestila stopped concealing her disgust for House Anloxi, the hostility in her tone unmistakably clear.

“Let go of these children and leave on your own.”

Xestila gave the cold warning.

To this,

Hein shook his head bitterly:

“It seems, Marshal, that you’re determined to prevent our family reunion?”

“Let go of these children and leave on your own,” Xestila repeated in an icy tone.

As she spoke, a creepy red light gradually emanated from Xestila’s eye.

The formidable aura symbolizing the Divine Martial Realm gradually seeped out from Xestila’s body.

All at once, the atmosphere in the compartment became tense. Feeling the pressure, Ailiya and the others began to tremble nervously.

However,

Faced with Xestila’s pressure, Hein showed no sign of backing down, instead tilting his head and revealing a charming smile,

“I’m sorry, but on second thought, I still need to take the children back.”

“Is your House Anloxi defying the President’s orders?”

“The President’s orders?”

Hein couldn’t help but let out a sneer and coldly glared at Xestila.

“It seems the President wants to go against Paradise Manor, doesn’t he?”
