Villain: The Play of Destiny-Chapter 485 -

The dinner was quite a lively affair, and everyone got to meet Sebastian’s girlfriend.

Rebecca happily gave the girl a checkup and even guided her on how she should handle the following months of pregnancy.

Meera was quite surprised and grateful at how detailed Rebecca’s explanations and instructions were, and she had learned things that even the best of the Doctors in the city had not told her.

Of course, everything was related to her own health and the health of the child in her womb, nothing too exaggerated, and after the examination, all her worries were put to rest and she felt quite relaxed.

It was quite a funny sight for everyone when Rebecca openly advised Sebastian on how he should treat his girl during these months, and that he should spend as much time with her as possible.

She also taught them methods to help the mother regulate her moods, stay calm, and sleep peacefully, which made them both feel even more grateful to her.

After the couple thanked her and took their leave, the ladies of the Demiliore Family expressed their approval of Sebastian’s choice.

Meera was quite a lovely girl, a mixture of perfect Indian and Netherian features, and she was extremely well-mannered. She had a touch of simplicity and innocence about her that men could hardly resist, and her love for Sebastian was sparking in her eyes every time she looked at him.

They were quite a good match.

After the guests and the rest of the family members retired to their rooms, Keith, Rebecca, Qingyue, and Amelia retreated to the study to discuss their plans for the coming years.

Amelia had decided to build a large number of orphanages and schools throughout the country, more than a hundred of them, all in their unique designs, and Qingyue decided to help her out in realising this goal, happy to help the needy and do a good deed.

Rebecca was not interested in any philanthropic work, and she was thinking about what she should do with the properties under her name. She did not want these things to go to waste.

"What do you want to do with all the Gold?" She curiously asked after Keith informed them about how much Gold he had accumulated and how much he would receive from Nyx in exchange for the Black Forest Group.

According to his estimation, he would have around 10,000 Metric Tonnes of Gold when they leave Gaia.

Both Qingyue and Amelia were confused as well. Why was he so keen on gathering so much Gold? As far as they knew, Gold was not a medium of exchange in Lower Heaven.

"There are special methods of refining Gold into different Metals. When it is mixed with certain Treasures of Nature, Gold can be refined into a variety of high-quality metals used to build Magical Artifacts. One such method is refining Gold into Agaurum, a metal used in the plating of armour, Battle Clothes, Magical Jewellery and more. After the Refinement, we will be left with around 10 metric tonnes of Agaurum..." He informed them about his plans and all of them attentively listened to his words.

Amelia could guess that Agaurum was highly valuable. Otherwise, Keith would never go to such lengths to accumulate and refine it. And both Qingyue and Rebecca were already familiar with its name, having read about it in the Alchemy Books.

"....Though Agaurum is also naturally found, and the refined one is mostly of a lower quality, the method I have will make it just as good as pure Agaurum. It will also help me improve my Alchemy Skills." Keith told them, and they all nodded their heads in understanding.

"Can I help?" Qingyue expectantly asked, and when he smiled and nodded his head to her, she thanked him by planting a kiss on his cheek.

She had fallen in love with Alchemy, mostly the Medicinal side of it, but she realised that if she could learn the Refinement Method that Keith had, it would be of great benefit to her.

"Are we going to take the Blood Guards with us?" Rebecca suddenly asked, changing the subject and catching their attention once again.

"I will leave that to you." He met her eyes and meaningfully said.

Though Qingyue did not understand what he meant, Amelia and Rebecca both knew that Keith would only be willing to take away the most talented of the lot.

"I am going to summon the Blood Guards and attack the Purgatory Island once the civil war on it ends," She informed them of her plans and accepted the task of filtering out the Blood Guards.

"Qin Feng is dead. Why do you want to attack the Purgatory Island?" Qingyue frowned. "Neither Ingrid nor Ingvild cares about that place or wants to..."

"It’s not about revenge." She shook her head, cutting her off. "Purgatory Island has a lot of Gold, centuries of accumulation." As she said these words, she ignored her sister-wife, who was about to express her dissatisfaction, and brightly smiled at her husband. "All the Gold I gather from there is mine."

Keith knew what she meant by it and he nodded his head to her.

"I will teach you how to refine it." He promised. "Avriel might need your help to deal with the issues on her end."

All three of them quizzically looked at him.

"There will soon be a rebellion in the Esper Association, and the Royal Five will be implicated," He informed them and then met the eyes of his blonde wife.

"I understand." She nodded. "I will leave next week and we will be back in a month, at most."

The four of them stayed in the study until midnight, discussing different issues, and then Keith returned to Aerzar to check up on the progress of his wives.

Rouxi, Feifei, and Roulan were still inside the training room where he had locked them, and they were still engaged in sword fighting.

They had been locked here for more than two days now, but they seemed to be enjoying themselves.

Since Rouxi was already in the Martial Realms, she was at ease against Feifei and Roulan, both of whom were stuck in the Primal Desolation Realm for now.

However, they were all forbidden from using their Aura and Mana, and Keith had sealed them, using the Realm Sealing Artifacts, before he left. So, the advantage of the Realm was not outrageous.

What he wanted to train them in was pure swordsmanship, nothing else, and he was quite pleased to see the visible progress they had made.

It was a blessing to have talented Disciples, and just in seven months, all three of them had reached the Expert Rank in Swordsmanship.

Roulan, who already had years of experience prior to the start of their training, was at the Peak of the Expert Rank, quite close to becoming a Master Swordsman. And both Rouxi and Feifei were newly promoted Experts.

One thing that was undeniable was that their progress was also thanks to their talented teacher, who was smiling as he watched them train.

Seeing the smile on his face, Feifei suddenly stopped and rolled their eyes at him, having guessed what was going through his mind.

"You are way too narcissistic!" Feifei bluntly said, and he chuckled at her words.

"You look beautiful when you are dancing with your sword." He told her and enjoyed the blush that suddenly warmed up on her cheeks.

"We want a break now." She pouted at him.

"Get some rest then." He smiled. "We will continue with your Hand-to-Hand Combat Training after four hours."

"Oh, come on!" She angrily looked at him and then stomped her way over to look him right in his eyes from up close. "I am tired of training."

"Heh... You can just rest then. I will continue training Roulan and Rouxi." He said, and before she could retort, he continued. "Freshen up and meet me in my study. I have to tell you something."

Feifei’s brows softened when she heard his words, and then she smiled at him.

Tiptoeing up, she planted a kiss on his cheek and then walked out of the room without saying anything.

She now knew that he was going to come clean about what was going on, and this had already relieved a lot of her dissatisfaction.

Her sudden change of mood surprised both Roulan and Rouxi, but they were tired right now, so, they did not pay too much attention to it.

About an hour later, after all three of them had taken a hot bath and eaten some fruits, they arrived in the study where Keith had called them.

On the table, in front of their chairs, three Rings were placed, and Roulan immediately trotted over to pick them up.

She gasped in surprise when she found out what it was, and then saw another ring float up to her.

"This one is yours." Keith lightly said, and the Dragon Princess smiled at him happily and took the one that belonged to her.

Without wasting any time, she bound it with her Blood, but as soon as she looked inside, she froze.

A bad premonition weighed on her heart, and then she frowned at her Husband, who was lightly smiling at her.

"You are sending us away to Lower Heaven?" Feifei, who was still standing at the door, coldly asked.

The coldness in her words even made Rouxi’s heart tremble, and she instinctively looked at Keith, searching his eyes, hoping to see him shake his head.

Instead, she saw him nod, and she heard her heart thump hard against her chest before it skipped a beat.

The silence that followed suffocated her, but when she saw Keith take a deep breath and lean back in his chair, she controlled her emotions and walked over to take her seat at the table.

"Why?" She asked, and Roulan sat next to her as well.

"You are the Inheritor of Nuwa, and it means that you have certain responsibilities on your shoulders. I don’t know the details since these things are related to the Tian Pantheon, but you need to go to a World in the Lower Heaven. It needs you." He said to her, making her frown at his words.

"When?"

"We have 70 to 80 days here." He lightly said and watched her lose herself in her thoughts.

"When will I see you again?" She asked, almost in a whisper, and he could sense her sadness.

"We will meet again in Heaven."

Minutes passed, Roulan stayed silent in her seat, and Feifei was leaning against the door, blankly staring at the floor.

"Only I need to go, right?" Rouxi asked as she controlled back her tears and raised her head to look at him, forcing herself to smile.

"Don’t you dare consider it!" Feifei coldly admonished her and then walked over to sit by her side. "I am not going to let you go alone." She made it clear and then glared at Keith.

"The three of you will go together." He told them and then looked at Roulan. "Your family is there as well."

The Princess surprisedly looked at him, and then just nodded her head before lowering it.

She was not exactly happy right now, even though she really wanted to see her mother again. And it was because she realised that she would have to stay decades away from Keith, if not a couple of centuries.

"Which one is mine?" Feifei simply asked, and when Keith pushed a ring to her, she took it and walked out of the room, not looking back.

It ached his heart to see her turn cold, and he knew that it was her defensive mechanism, which would eventually crumble.

He also knew that she could hardly say a word to him again for the next couple of months.

"Inside the Rings..." Keith informed them about the things he had prepared for them inside the rings.

He put all the Pills and Potions that he had received from the System Quests in these Rings, only keeping three Potions of Youth in the System Inventory. Additionally, he prepared dozens of Books for them and even personally wrote an Instruction Book on what they needed to do before reaching the second Desolation Realm.

However, neither Roulan nor Rouxi showed any enthusiasm and just nodded their heads before leaving him sighing in his chair.

Even though he had expected these reactions, it still ached his heart to see them drown in sadness.
