Chapter 163 Two Insiders
Finna was very distressed because she could recognize her child.
Even though her husband and her son were getting along very well and she wanted him to work for her, it would be a disaster once she knew Li Ke's identity.
And his eldest son would inevitably join his father in wielding the butcher knife against his brothers.
It’s not that she didn’t think about educating her eldest son well, but for a woman with little power, there was little she could do in this family.
So even though she knew that her son must have encountered some bad things, and that her son had become a "monster" in the eyes of others because of the gods, she could not recognize him, because doing so would only bring about even more terrible things.
"I made it up myself."
Li Ke held her hand. Although it was a bit rude, it told the other party that he knew his identity and had no intention of revealing it.
Finna hugged Li Ke's head tremblingly. She felt that her fate was so ridiculous. She should have been a happy woman, but ended up in this situation because of a prophecy.
"So...can you let me see your face?"
“It’s terrible.”
Li Ke's words made Finna's body tremble again, and Li Ke secretly cursed himself in his heart for how bad this simulation was.
But is this really a simulation?
Li Ke felt Finna's real heartbeat and emotions, and wanted to avoid this question a little.
"No... no, child, no."
Finna touched Li Ke's helmet with trembling hands and quickly found the buckle, but the strength in her fingers was not enough to open it, which made her feel collapsed again, and tears fell like broken strings.
Li Ke sighed, reached out his hand, and helped Finna open her helmet. Under the moonlight, a strange face was revealed.
It cannot be said that it looks like a human, it can only be said that it does not look like a human at all.
The bulging muscles supported the thin skin. Even though Finna was mentally prepared, she still felt a little breathless.
But this is the result of Li Ke's adjustment using life energy.
Finna looked at Li Ke's hideous face that looked like a ghost with trembling eyes, and her tears became more frequent. She didn't know what to say, but she felt that as a mother, she should take full responsibility.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”
She hugged Li Ke and rubbed her cheek against Li Ke's face gently. Mrs. Finna tried hard to make Li Ke feel her apology, but when Li Ke heard someone coming, he pushed her away.
"It's okay. I'm doing fine. I'm already very happy knowing that a lovely woman like you is worried about me, but...we both know that, right?"
It was easy for Li Ke to take revenge. He would take up his weapon and within an hour, there would be no living person in the castle except Finna.
But doing so would be another torture for Finna.
Compared to her own son who has been living outside, for Fenna, although he is not very filial, the son who has always been with her is more familiar to her.
He didn't have to do such a thing.
The father and son were just passers-by to him, but Finna was a real relative to him.
There is no need to let your loved ones suffer because of passers-by.
So, Li Ke told him his next plan.
"After a while, I will leave my small town and travel to other places, but my small town is beautiful and the people there are lovely. It is very suitable as a place for recuperation, and... only you can protect it and prevent the people there from being persecuted after I leave."
Li Ke wiped Finna's tears with his fingers. He felt Finna pulling out a few of his hairs. He smiled and said nothing. He just picked up his helmet and put it back on his head under Finna's gaze.
Because he already had a sense of who was coming.
A very troublesome person.
Standing up and holding Finna's shoulders, Li Ke injected a large amount of life force into Finna's body. While injecting the life force, Li Ke discovered that Finna had not fully recovered. Although the results of his last treatment still existed, her body had deteriorated again in just a few days.
It can be said that this woman's will to survive is already very low.
Therefore, Li Ke injected more vitality into this woman. As long as this woman stopped being pessimistic, she would still be able to regain a healthy body.
"I've been very happy, really, but now, it's time for you to go."
Gently pushing the woman, Li Ke walked towards another path and walked into the darkness while Finna's vision was blurred by tears.
Then she sighed heavily and walked towards her attic.
However, when she returned to her room with the oil lamp, she saw someone who shouldn't be there.
"My wife, where have you been just now?"
Grand Duke Tenaris looked at his wife with a heavy face, and with his sharp eyes he saw that his wife subconsciously clenched her fists.
His first reaction was that his wife had gone to meet her lover in secret, but he immediately rejected this idea. His wife had always been chaste, and during the time she was sick, all the servants in the castle were replaced by maids. Apart from his old butler, the only men who could be seen were him and his son.
As for the others, they were all in the banquet hall, except Li Ke.
So he gave orders to his wife.
"Spread your hands."
Finna subconsciously put her hand to her chest. She didn't want her husband to see the red hair in her hand, but this action angered the Grand Duke.
The Grand Duke was unhappy about Li Ke's departure. He walked forward angrily, grabbed Finna's hand, and opened Finna's palm amid her screams of pain.
Then, he saw everyone with red hair.
Standing there in silence for a long time, he looked at his wife and spoke with a strange smile on his face.
"Your lover is him?"
If he wasn't a lover, why would he hold the hair?
And if it's a lover, then that's fine...
etc.
Looking at his wife's red and swollen eyes and the sadness that could not be concealed, Grand Duke Violet immediately grabbed his own hair, comparing it with the hair in his hand, and then fell into silence for a long time.
He finally understood why he felt that Li Ke was so kind and that the other party was born to obey him. After the other party rejected him several times, he felt angry and felt disobeyed.
This was an incredible thing because he had always been respectful to others!
So, intuition, prophecy, and his wife's behavior allowed him to find the real answer based on just this little bit of evidence.
"Arthas! You monster!"
Grand Duke Tenaris roared in anger.
At the same time, Li Ke also saw the uninvited guest.
"What did you hear?"
"you guess."
“…”
"A lot. You and Ms. Finna must have a very special relationship. After all, just by looking at your appearance and thinking about some rumors, one can guess a lot of things. But... you are so ugly?"
Under the moonlight, Princess Celia, who shouldn't be here, smiled sweetly and came to Li Ke in a very familiar manner. She stood on tiptoes and wanted to touch Li Ke's face.
But because of her height, she could only touch Li Ke's chest muscles, but for her, this place was also very interesting.
"How about being my person? I can protect you like you protected me, and I don't mind your ugly face. I can also..."
Princess Celia looked into Li Ke's eyes, bent down and pinched her skirt, then slightly lifted the hem of her skirt, revealing her white and delicate stockings and garters.
"You will be my knight."
Li Ke's eyes suddenly became dull, because he felt...
This woman.
I'm afraid it's some serious illness.
