My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

"Oh." Hui had no choice but to move her little hand away.

It was at this moment that Kouta truly began to carefully examine his own body.

The terrifying, gaping hole in his chest had vanished without a trace, leaving not a single mark.

And inside the chest.

Kouta reached out and covered his chest, clearly feeling his heart beating; there was nothing wrong with it.

Overall, everything seems normal!

Kouta looked at the heart that had stopped beating on the floor beside him, and then felt the beating inside his chest. He couldn't understand it.

"What on earth is going on?" Kouta muttered to himself.

At that moment, he thought of Hui.

"Hui, do you know what just happened to me?"

Her beautiful face was still wet with tears, and her pair of teary eyes gazed at Kouta with deep affection. Then she slowly said, "You just fell to the ground and stopped breathing. Then black particles appeared on your body, and then... you came back to life."

Kouta listened in silence.

He knew Hui wouldn't lie to him, so he had just died, and then... been resurrected?!

He came back to life!

'Does such a thing really exist?'

'And why was I able to come back to life?'

'Could it be an ability I haven't discovered yet, or...' At this moment, Kouta suddenly asked himself, what would happen if a person didn't have a heart? Such a strange question.

He thought Hui was angry with him, after all, a person without a heart will definitely die, why even ask?

But looking back at this issue now...

Thinking this, Kouta looked at Kei in front of him, wanting to ask something, but seeing that Kei's eyes were red and her lips were a little pale, and she looked like she was still in shock, he felt sorry for her and couldn't ask.

'Never mind, when Hui wants to say it, she will naturally say it,' Kōta thought to himself.

dong dong! !

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Yuujin's voice came from outside the room: "Keigo, are you in there? What happened in the room? Why is the door locked?"

Yuujin's voice made Kouta's heart tighten. He said to Kei, "He—"

Hui immediately realized what was happening and stared straight at Kouta: "I only have you in my heart. I have nothing with him. He forced me to marry him before. At that time, I was thinking of getting revenge on you, so... so I agreed to him."

Hui's voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, until finally she lowered her head and dared not look at Kouta.

When Kouta heard what Hui said and saw Hui's adorable appearance, he was both amused and exasperated. He patted Hui's little head and said, "Silly girl."

Hearing the nickname "little fool," Hui raised her head and pouted, looking aggrieved.

"Hui, I'm coming in!" Outside, Yujin was about to open the door.

inside the house,

"Hui, what should we do with him?" Kōta asked.

"How about we kill him?" Hui asked tentatively.

"Uh..." Kouta was speechless. Of course, he also wanted to kill Yuhito, but he was not powerful enough to kill a member of the royal family and get away unscathed. Or rather, he might be able to get away unscathed, but Kei was another story.

Therefore, killing is not an option, or rather, it cannot be done by force; a long-term plan is needed.

The two had already discussed their plan while Hisahito was opening the door.

"Please come in," Hui Chao said at the door.

"Click~" Yujin turned the doorknob and then opened the door.

When the door opened, he saw a blanket covering the floor in the middle of the room, and Hui was sitting on the blanket with her back to him. At the same time, the window was open, and a strong wind was blowing into the room.

"Hui, what's wrong with you—" he said as he entered the room.

But the moment he entered the room, everything went black as Kouta, who was hiding to the side of the door, struck him on the back of the neck with a karate chop and knocked him unconscious.

Kouta laid the unconscious Yuhito on the ground and locked the door again.

At this moment, Keiya also got up and came to Kouta's side.

Perhaps it was because he finally felt relieved and the dust had settled that Kouta noticed that Hui's thin nightgown was soaked with blood and clung tightly to her skin, making Hui's delicate body visible to the naked eye.

Hui noticed the strange look in Kouta's eyes, smiled knowingly, and took Kouta's hand, placing it on the little white rabbit on her chest: "This is a perk!"

Kouta, suppressing his reluctance, withdrew his hand and said, "Hui, don't do this."

"You...dislike me?" Hui asked, on the verge of tears.

"No, no, Hui, don't overthink it. It's just that you're pregnant now, and it's not the time for that..." Kōta explained.

Huiye said shyly, "Kouta, because of the baby, I made a promise with Yujin that I would only...only agree to have sex with him after the baby is born. Before that, he would at most...at most touch me...nothing else."

Hui's voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, all the while she secretly observed Kouta's expression.

“Hui, you don’t need to explain, I believe you,” Kouta replied, his eyes filled with tenderness.

Seeing this, Hui felt relieved.

"By the way, you haven't felt our baby move yet, have you?" Hui said, lifting her dress and taking Kouta's hand to place on her slightly protruding belly. She then looked at Kouta expectantly. "The baby is still a little small, so the movements aren't very noticeable, but it's more active at night. How about it? Can you feel it?"

Kouta could feel the smoothness of Hui's skin, and at the same time, he could feel a slight undulation coming from his palm.

Suddenly, an unprecedented joy welled up in his heart.

He looked at Hui and said, "Hui, let's elope!"

"Okay, whatever you say." Hui leaned against Kouta's chest and answered without thinking.

"Let's find a strange place far away from Tokyo and give birth to the child."

“Mm,” Hui replied.

“But before that, we need to make some arrangements here. In a moment, we will…” Kouta revealed his impromptu elopement plan.

Hui naturally agrees unconditionally.

Afterwards, the two took a bath together in the next room, and then Kouta left through the window. More than three hours later, he returned through the same window.

However, when he returned, he was carrying something else in his hands... a female corpse.

This is a body that Kouta found in a hospital morgue. It is similar in size to Hui and appears to have died by suicide. Moreover, it was not long ago, within five days.

Hui began to dress up the corpse, that is, to put the jewelry and clothes she was wearing on the corpse.

After dressing the body, Kouta placed it on the bed, covered it with a blanket, and then timed it perfectly. At four in the morning, when all was quiet, he set fire to the blankets, the carpet, and the curtains...

In this room filled with expensive fabrics and classic wooden structures, the flames, like a runaway horse, instantly turned into a raging fire, rampaging and devouring everything in the room.

Meanwhile, Kouta carried Kei in a princess carry and, taking advantage of the chaos caused by the fire, disappeared into the darkness with a few leaps.

As for Yuujin, he didn't wake up until the maid found him in the conference room on the first floor. By the time he arrived at Hui's room, it was engulfed in flames, making it impossible to approach. Everything in the room was reduced to ashes by the fire...

Chapter 357 Surveillance

Tokyo was already getting chilly in December.

In the early hours of the morning, before dawn, the sky was shrouded in a dark curtain, a time when most Japanese people were fast asleep.

However, in the Akasaka Imperial Estate in the Japanese port area, this place is already bustling with activity.

Because a section of Prince Hisahito's residence is visibly missing here. Although the fire has been extinguished, the remaining charred remains still emit wisps of smoke, telling the story of the intensity of the fire that night.

Meanwhile, amidst the ruins of the fire, many firefighters, clad in heavy thermal suits, were searching for something among the wreckage.

Although the fire has been extinguished, the residual temperature at the scene is still over 100 degrees Celsius, making it impossible to move without wearing heat-insulating clothing.

"Captain, we've found it! Here it is!" a firefighter shouted.

Immediately, a group of team members began to gather around that team member.

Then they saw a charred corpse, so black that it was impossible to tell if it was male or female, because all the organic matter on the body had been carbonized by the flames and would crumble into ashes at the slightest touch, revealing the steaming bones inside, as well as blackened bracelets, headdresses, and other precious metals stuck to the bones.

Upon seeing the body, the team members knew that this was the target they were looking for.

Because only one person died in the entire fire.

She is none other than the soon-to-be Princess Consort of the Imperial Family, who has recently been hailed by all of Japan as "the most beautiful woman in Japanese history"—Kei Agasa.

According to the servants at the mansion, the fire started in the future princess's room late at night. By the time everyone reacted and tried to put out the fire, it had already spread to the corridor. Fortunately, the fire was on the second floor, which gave the rest of the mansion time to escape.

The firefighters carefully placed the mangled body, along with the ashes scattered on the ground, onto a stretcher and carried it out.

outside.

Yuhito stared blankly at the corpse on the stretcher on the ground, which emitted a disgusting, burnt smell.

The body was reduced to bones, making it impossible to discern its appearance before death. The half-melted, black bracelet and headdress were stuck to the bones and could not be removed, but they could still be vaguely identified as the jewelry belonging to Agasa Kei.

As for the corpse's abdomen, it was already empty, with nothing inside. The organic matter there had long been burned to ashes, leaving only the charred pubic bone exposed.

He stared at the corpse in silence.

He vaguely remembered that when he entered the house, he saw Hui sitting in the middle of the room. He was about to ask her a question when everything went black and he knew nothing more.

When he woke up, the servant told him that Hui's room was on fire, and that Hui had not come out, presumably perishing in the flames.

Looking at this corpse now, everything confirms that this is indeed the truth.

But is this corpse really that woman, Kei Agasa?

He was filled with doubt.

After all, Hui's previous behavior was too suspicious!

"Go, call the best forensic doctor in Tokyo and have him extract the DNA from this body. I need to know whose body this is!" Hisahito ordered a servant beside him.

He knew that as long as the bones were still intact, DNA could be extracted.

"What? Yes!" The maid was a little surprised, but seeing Hisahito's stern gaze, she immediately stopped asking questions.

Hisahito's residence remained in chaos, with firefighters rushing back and forth at the scene to extinguish any remaining sparks.
