Villain: The Play of Destiny

Chapter 420

"So, you are going back?" Roy asked as he looked at Harud, and the young Mir smiled at him.

"Yes. It is time that I pay attention to my Family's Medicinal Legacy. Grandfather told me that once I returned, I would have to learn everything from him. I was only supposed to stay with Kashish for a few weeks, but now I have been away for more than half a year." He grinned, seemingly not worried that his grandfather might be upset, and Roy could not help but chuckle at his expression.

"We will meet again."

The two boys talked with each other as the servants loaded their luggage in their respective Private Jets.

Away from the two, Minami, Ingvild, Alana, and Diana were standing, chatting with each other, and Keith's Songbird was sneaking glances at him from time to time as she watched him talk on the phone, standing next to Iseul, Fiona, and Yingying, waiting for their Private Jet.

"Did he tell you how long he would be gone for?" Alana suddenly looked at Minami and asked, interrupting their conversation, and Diana smiled as she sensed the unease in the girl's voice.

"He's right there, and you are already missing him?" She mischievously smiled and was quite amused at the blush that crept on Alana's face.

"I..." She tried to speak, but then suddenly pouted and feigned some dissatisfaction in an attempt to compose herself. "He did not even ask me if I could come with him..." She complained, and both Ingvild and Diana giggled at antics.

"Master has something important to attend to in China. Qingyue is going with him." Minami informed them, and all three looked at her curiously.

"Yes." Minami nodded to Diana.

"You are not going with him?" Ingvild curiously asked and smiled when their eyes met.

"No. We have plans, remember?"

"Yes!" She lightly laughed. "We have to teach them the language before he returns!"

"It will take months if not years!" Alana anxiously spoke, and her reaction made them all smile.

She had gotten a little too attached to Keith during their stay at the Castle, and they all felt that it was the right time to let her cool herself down and get a grip on her emotions. Perhaps, it was the reason why Keith had not asked her to come with him.

Ayesha had been the same way after Keith had left for his Military Training, and it had taken months before she returned to her usual self. However, her health had started deteriorating over time, and Diana was quite certain that it was because Keith was late on his promised return.

She just hoped that he would not be gone for that long again. Then again, it was highly unlikely that he would stay away from home for years.

"Don't you want to start working on your new Album?" The old lady of the Demiliore Family curiously asked Alana, and sure enough, she managed to distract the girl's thoughts.

"I do!" She nodded her head.

"Have you decided on the name yet?"

"I have." She nodded again. "It will be called A Wicked Game."

The name truly piqued Diana's interest, and even Ingvild curiously looked at her.

"It has dark themes?" The Carmilla Princess asked, but Alana shook her head.

"It's about love." She smiled. "You will have to wait to find out why I named it A Wicked Game."

She sounded quite excited about her upcoming work, and they all had a hunch that it might be her best work to date.

"I am looking forward to it!" Ingvild smiled and then continued the conversation she had had earlier with Diana and Minami.

"Is everything okay?" The old lady could not help but ask when she caught Alana suddenly frowning at something, and when she followed her gaze, she still found the girl looking at Keith talking on the phone.

"Who is Qin Jiahao?" Alana absently asked, and both Ingvild and Minami curiously looked at her as they too could hear what Keith was saying on the phone. But they did not expect her to be able to possess such a sharp sense of hearing.

"I have no idea." Diana shook her head as she failed to recall the name.

"He has recently died, and Keith is asking someone about how his business is doing, and if his daughter has taken the charge yet or not." She informed her.

"You can hear him?" The old lady was a little surprised as she looked at Keith and found him dozens of metres away from them.

He was not even talking loudly on the phone, and for a human, or even an Auror, it should not be possible to hear that far.

"Yes." Alana nodded her head. "Keith told me that I possess a special ability related to sounds. I can now hear at a great distance." She deliberately did not go into the details and changed the topic. "He's going to China to meet Qin Rouxi."

"Is that so?" The old lady smiled as she sensed her unease.

"How many more girls does he need in his life?" She grumpily said, and everyone smiled at her words.

"Why do you think he is interested in her?"

"Come on, Grandma. It is Keith we are talking about. Would he bother going to China to meet just another girl?" She pouted, and the old lady found herself unable to refute her words.

"Well, why don't you ask him about it?" She teasingly suggested, and Alana blushed at her words.

"No need." She did not want Keith to think that she was jealous, even though it was the truth.

"Hey, Alana!" She turned to look at the two boys who were walking their way, and she smiled at Harud.

"Yes?" She asked as they finally arrived in front of them.

"Where are Riku and Ruru?" The two of them were quite curious about where the pair of siblings were, and they had not seen them since morning.

"Keith sent them somewhere to train and to take a break." She told them.

Alana knew that the siblings were inside Aerzar now, but it was not something she could reveal to Harud and Roy.

She still remembered when she learned about the dream-like world and when Keith had taken her inside it to train her. It was there that she finally learned where Minami and Ingvild would often disappear too, and it was also the reason why she was a little dissatisfied with Keith.

He could keep her inside Aerzar just like he was keeping Ruru and Riku, but he had asked her to return to Netheria. Not that she minded staying with the Family, but she really wanted to stay by his side.

"Any idea where?" The young Mir asked, but Alana shook her head.

"They will be fine."

"I know." He grinned. "They are strong. I just wanted to Invite them to my home. We have some Werewolves that serve us, and I thought they would like to meet them."

"Well, you could always ask them about it when you meet them again."

"Sure!" The boy happily nodded his head. "I will miss you!" He told her and then bowed to everyone before he started walking towards the jet that was waiting for him.

"I guess I should be going as well." Roy smiled and then bowed to all of them again, and smiled some more when Alana gently ruffled his hair.

"Take care of yourself, and don't worry about Fiona. She will be fine."

"Thank you!" The boy bowed to her again before he walked over to where his mother was standing.

He was in a lot better mood than he was in the morning, but everyone knew that the boy was going to miss Fiona a lot.

Alana sighed when she watched the pair of mother and son hug each other.

"Can't he stay with her?" She asked.

"No. Master would have let him stay if it was the best for him, but since he wants him to go to Scotland, there must be a reason."

"You are always his advocate, aren't you?" She pouted as she looked at Minami, and could not help but giggle when she watched the girl smile at her words. "But I guess it is fair since he dotes on you a little too much."

"That's because Minami is his Princess." Ingvild pointed out playfully, and it made Alana giggle some more.

"And you?"

"I am his Princess too!" She smugly replied, and then a bright smile bloomed on her face when she caught Keith walking towards them. "Brother, who's Qin Rouxi?" She straightforwardly asked, and even Diana curiously looked at her Grandson for an answer.

"My wife. Why?" He simply replied and raised his brow at their stunned expressions, and only when he smirked at them did they all start to laugh.

"For a moment, I thought you were really serious." Alana pouted, and he playfully nudged her nose.

"I may be." He shrugged and then looked at all of them. "I will be gone for a few months, but I can not tell you for certain how long I might have to stay in China."

"Be safe. And if your Grandfather is still there, do check up on him."

"I will." He promised Diana and then hugged each of them before he embarked on the Private Jet that was going to take him to his destination.

Iseul, Yingying, and Fiona boarded the same flight, and even though Alana instructed Fiona to keep her informed on Keith and Qin Rouxi, she knew that the maid would never reveal anything to her behind his back.

As they watched Keith's Jet take off, they all finally embarked on their own plane.

The first thing Alana did after getting on the plane was to search on the internet about Qin Jiahao and Qin Rouxi, but the results did not really lock onto them, which meant that they were not too famous.

However, as she scrolled down, she finally came across a picture that stunned her, and everyone heard her involuntarily gasp in surprise.

"She's beautiful!" Ingvild, who looked at the scream exclaimed, but then she started laughing as she imagined how Qingyue would behave after seeing Qin Rouxi, a girl who was probably as beautiful as her if not more.
