You don't even want to call me godfather

Seeing the cicada making a fuss, Koshe couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Okay, I'm just kidding you." Koshe glanced at the sky outside the window, then looked up at the drip. It was already running low. He simply pulled out the needle on the back of his hand, took off the blood oxygen saturation sensor on his finger, lifted the quilt and got out of bed. "It's getting late. Let's go back."

"Eh? Wait, wait, Koshei won't stay in the hospital for a while longer to observe the situation?"

Seeing Koshei being so reckless, Lian Sichan was also panicked for a moment.

"There are still many things to deal with, Sichan." Koshe unbuttoned her hospital gown and took her own clothes from the hanger beside her. She did not treat Sichan as an outsider at all and changed her clothes in front of her. "And of course I know my own physical condition well. There is no need to continue checking."

Fortunately, Msisha's flames did not cause any burns to his body, but only put him into a coma for a short period of time.

Considering that there was Elizabeth at home and that Koshe himself was not in any serious condition, he decided to leave the hospital immediately.

"That……"

"Dong dong dong."

Just as Sichan was about to say something else, there was a knock on the ward door.

"Come in."

Koshei had already changed his clothes and he shouted towards the door.

The door opened, and Abraham walked in, followed by Guier.

"I heard what happened this morning. I wonder how the Godfather is doing now?"

Abr Khan expressed his condolences to Koshei as soon as possible.

"It's nothing serious." Koshei's eyes fell from Abraham to Gui'er behind him. "How many people know that I'm in the hospital?"

"Apart from the doctor and the few people present, only Ou Ya knew about this. He knew the current mentality of the Syracuse people very well, so he carried you out of the back door of the training ground and did not let anyone see you being carried into the ambulance. After sending you to the car, he returned to the training ground and continued to train his party members as if nothing had happened."

Abrhan's answer made Koshei very satisfied, especially the way Ou Ya handled things, which could almost be said to be comprehensive. It seemed that Ou Ya had also thought a lot about Syracuse.

"Well, very good." Koshe nodded, stroking his chin with his hand, looking at Abraham and Gui'er, then he turned to Sichan and said, "Sichan, go to the door and wait for a while. I have something to say to them."

"Okay, okay, I get it. Koshe is really a busy man."

Sichan complained without any malicious intent and left the ward.

"Godfather, who is that lady?"

"My childhood friend, who will be my family's maid in the future," Koshei said, adjusting his sleeves and collar. He looked at Abraham and said, "Then, besides condolences, you should have other things to say."

As he spoke, he glanced at Gui'er. She had been hiding behind Abraham without saying a word since the beginning. When Koshe said this, her body couldn't help but tremble.

"Yes..." Abraham nodded, and said with some difficulty, "I have learned about what Gui'er did. First, I want to apologize to you on her behalf, and second... I want to explain to you the reason why Gui'er did this."

"Don't apologize, just tell me the reason," Koshei crossed his arms and leaned against the wall. "If you can convince me, maybe I will let this matter go."

He raised his head slightly and looked at Abraham who seemed somewhat at a loss.

Chapter 31: Pushing the limits

"It's like this, Godfather," Abraham pursed his lips, and after thinking of the words in his mind, he began to explain, "Gui'er can create dreams for others, you know this, she showed her Originium skills when she was very young, and our parents also doted on her, which led to her often creating various dreams for the family. She trained her Originium skills since she was a child, and until she grew up, creating dreams has almost become her habit. But after coming to Syracuse, she was unfamiliar with the place and there was no one who could give her the ability, so she might have regarded the Godfather as the one who could use her ability-"

"That's your future, Godfather."

Abraham was explaining when Guier suddenly interrupted his nonsense. She looked straight into Koshe's eyes and said calmly.

"What do you mean?"

Koshe frowned. He certainly wouldn't believe the reason given by Abraham, but Gui'er's words made him realize that things were not simple.

"I said, that is your future, Godfather, the predetermined future." Gui'er told Koshei the unbelievable truth without hesitation, regardless of Abraham's eyes trying to stop her. "What you saw and heard in your dream are facts that will happen in the near future. They cannot be changed. They are predetermined facts. This is my Originium skill, dreams and the future."

"..." Koshei was silent. He looked straight at Guier, but Guier's eyes and heartbeat did not waver at all. So he looked at Abel Khan and asked in a questioning tone, "Is this true?"

"...Yes, Godfather," Abraham sighed secretly, lowered his head, and asked weakly, "I don't know what kind of scene Gui'er made you see, but I only beg you, please don't hold Gui'er accountable. Sometimes, this ability will make him unable to control his desire to spy on other people's future."

"Does this ability work on you as well?"

Koshe continued to ask, his tone was calm, making it difficult to guess what he was thinking.

"No, perhaps because of our shared blood, Gui'er has never successfully created a dream for me and our parents." Abraham raised his head, swallowed his saliva, and admitted nervously, "The explanations I just gave are all false. Please forgive me."

"..." Koshei was silent for a long time, no one knew what he was thinking. It was not until Abraham became uneasy that Koshei spoke, "Forget it, I won't pursue this matter any further. As long as similar situations don't happen again in the future...you can go back first."

Koshei sent Abraham and Guier back. He needed some time to digest this.

Abraham nodded and took Guier out of the ward. Before walking out the door, Guier turned around and glanced at Koshei.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, as if she wanted to see through Koshei. After just a few seconds, she turned her head back and left with Abraham.

'Is this true...Msisha?'

Koshe thought for a long time, and finally asked the question to Msisha in his mind.

"I am the Lord of Time and Space, Koshe," Msisha responded almost the next second after he asked the question, "You know, I cannot reveal their future to any human being. This will touch upon the taboo of time and will also affect the direction of the future. This is something that neither you nor I want to see."

"So, I have to figure it out on my own..." Koshe couldn't help but shook his head and said with emotion, "Msisha, Msisha, time and the future are so complicated, how do you control them? Sometimes I am really curious."

"Curiosity kills the cat, there's a saying in your human world," Msisha was particularly serious today, "It's better not to pursue some things too much, especially those related to your future and destiny. I have witnessed too many tragedies caused by this. You don't want to end up in such a tragic situation, Koshe."

"Everyone wants to know their future, but once they know it, they wish they had never asked... Is that so...?"

Koshe couldn't help but sigh. The words Vina gave him were still echoing in his ears, hard to forget.

"Forget it, go back."

Finally, Koshe gave up thinking.

……

The discharge procedures were somewhat troublesome. Although Koshei repeatedly stressed that he was in good health, the doctors still hoped that he could stay for a few more days for observation.

The confrontation with the doctors took up a lot of his time, but it also made him realize their responsibility, so in the end he succeeded by taking a gentle approach of persuasion rather than using power to put pressure on them.

"Well... to be honest, I feel like Koshei is no different from the you I remember."

On the way home, Sichan suddenly said this.

"Huh?" Koshei was a little confused, "Why do you say that suddenly?"

"Because you see, nearly half a year ago, the prime minister of the government held a press conference, and Koshe shot him in public. I was in the crowd at the time, and I saw your expression, which was an emotion I had never seen before," Sichan thought for a moment and elaborated, "From that time on, I felt that you seemed to have changed. A month ago, Syracuse was invaded again, and I thought you would become tougher, but when I was with you today, I didn't feel that. Whether it was to me, to that Uncle Ou Ya, or to those doctors, Koshe's attitude was very kind, which was no different from you when you were a child."

"Well, you have to use different methods and attitudes to treat different people," Koshei was not surprised by Sichan's thoughts. After all, anyone would think so, so he explained, "You are my friend, Ou Ya is an elder, and the medical staff are just doing their job. I certainly won't treat people who have no ill will towards me with any ill will."

"Hey~ Koshe really has figured out everyone's position," Sichan seemed a little unhappy for some reason, "I can't do that at all."

"You are just too nice to everyone," Koshe pointed out the flaw of Sichan mercilessly. "For friends and kind people, there is nothing wrong with that, but on the contrary, you give others the opportunity to take advantage of you."

"Of course I understand the truth, but changing your lifestyle is not something you can do just by talking about it."

The cicada pursed its lips and complained.

"Then try to do it first. Everything has a beginning." After knowing Sichan's idea, Koshe decided to change Sichan's lifestyle. "Anyway, you will stay in my house for a while. I can take this opportunity to teach you how to distinguish between good and bad people. I will teach you how to judge who you can approach and who you should stay away from."

"Living with Koshei is so great just thinking about it hehe..."

But it is obvious that Sichan has missed the point.

"Well... maybe I need to correct some of your habits," Koshei scratched his chin awkwardly and decided, "Here we are."

While they were talking, they had already arrived in front of Koshe's mansion.

Since Koshei and Destiny moved out to live alone, Koshei has not met Sichan again, let alone whether she has ever been to his mansion, at least that's what Koshei thought.

Looking at the house in front of her that was neither too big nor too small, for some reason, the smile on Sichan's face disappeared, replaced by a serious expression. She just stared at it, dazed.

"What's wrong, Silk Cicada?"

Koshe noticed Sichan's mood change, he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her and asked.

"Um... it's okay," Sichan came back to her senses and shook her head. After a moment, she pointed to a figure sitting at the door of the mansion and asked Koshe, "Who is that..."

"Well, that's the Elizaveta I told you about." Koshe looked in the direction that Sichan pointed. He saw Elizaveta sitting on the steps at the door of the mansion, propping her chin with her hand, with a sullen look on her face. He speculated, "It seems...she has locked herself out of the house."

It was only now that Koshe remembered that he seemed to have never given Elizaveta the key to the mansion.

Chapter 32: War among Women

"Take these two keys."

In the study, Koshe took out two keys to the mansion's front door from the drawer.

One of them was the one Destiny used before, and the other was his own spare key.

"I don't have any extra keys right now, so I suggest you keep them properly."

Apart from these two, only Koshe and Iris have the keys to the mansion. It’s not too much, but not too little either. It’s just enough.

As for Hong...she never goes through the front door, so to her, the key might be unnecessary.

But now that I have given the key to Elizaveta, and with Sichan at home, I don't have to worry about her locking me out again.

Maybe……

Elizaveta's various actions in just a few days made Koshe feel a little worried about her.

"Now that the keys have been distributed, Sichan and Elizaveta have already met each other, so the next question is..." Koshe's eyes moved between the two of them, and then he thought about the layout of his home. "Destiny's room is now occupied by a wolf hunter, and my room is given to Elizaveta. Sichan... where should you live?"

"Eh?" Sichan was stunned for a moment, looked at Elizaveta in disbelief, then looked at Koshei, and said hesitantly, "Koshei and Miss Elizaveta are actually...living together?"

"...No, I've been sleeping in the study recently," Koshei's face twitched. He explained with a dark face, "As a godfather, I have a lot of things to do. The study is my workplace. It's also a convenient choice to use it as my living environment."

"Then I'll live with Koshei," Sichan said in a shocking tone. "As Koshei's personal maid, I have to take care of every aspect of Koshei's life."

She put her hands on her hips and seemed very proud of her proposal.

"Not appropriate," Elizaveta stopped Sichan's dangerous thoughts before Koshei could speak. "Not to mention that Koshei hired you to take care of me, strictly speaking you can't be considered his 'personal' maid. Besides, there is a difference between master and servant. How can a servant sleep in the same bed with the master?"

"So where do you think I should live, Miss Elizaveta?" Sichan was obviously dissatisfied with Elizaveta's words. She looked at Elizaveta without respect and retorted, "You also said that there is a difference between master and servant, but who is the master of this house? It's Koshe, not you. Why should I decide my own actions according to your ideas?"

"You two..."

Seeing that the tension between the two women was getting worse and worse, Koshe realized the seriousness of the problem, but when he was about to smooth things over, Elizaveta interrupted him again.

"I don't think you, as a maid, have any say in this family. Koshe hired you for my sake, but if your goal is to do something bad to Koshe, as Koshe's marriage partner, I naturally can't just sit back and watch," Elizaveta raised her head slightly, with an arrogant and domineering attitude towards her servants. "In order to ensure that Koshe's body and mind are not affected or threatened, I am willing to give up a space in my room for you to live in. If you are unwilling to accept even such a concession, then there is no need for us to talk."

"How about...I sleep in the living room?"

Looking at the two powder kegs that were about to explode in front of him, Koshe spoke weakly.

"no!"

The two women refused in unison.

Koshe held his forehead with his hand and sighed helplessly. It was not until today that he realized how horrible it was when two women quarreled.

"Koshe and I have been friends since childhood, and we have known each other for more than ten years. In terms of seniority, Koshe and I have a much deeper relationship than you. What's so strange about living together?" Seeing that Elizaveta's attitude was already very clear, Si Chan simply stopped suppressing herself and openly stated, "How about you, how familiar are you with Koshe? How long have you known Koshe? Let me guess, a month? Half a month? Or even less than a week?"

"Oh, so what if we've known each other for a long time? I came here for the important purpose of marriage. No matter what the cause or experience, the final outcome of Koshe and I is destined." Elizaveta was not to be outdone. She completely lost her previous demeanor and competed with Sichan. "Compared to that, who are you?"

……

Elizaveta and Sichan argued for nearly half an hour, and finally they calmed down after Koshe had to intervene to mediate.

The end result was that Koshe moved out a mattress and placed it in his room for Sichan and Elizaveta to live together.

Sichan was originally from the East, so she had no difficulty in sleeping on the floor, but the only thing that made her uncomfortable was the presence of Elizaveta.

Everything seemed to be different from what Koshe had expected, and things went against his wishes.

However, things have developed to this point now, and we can only take it one step at a time.

Koshe was lying on the folding bed, his hands behind his head, looking towards the window.

There have been so many things happening recently that it is a little difficult for him to accept them quickly.

But things like the marriage have been almost dealt with, and he couldn't think of anything else that would give him more headaches.

There has been no news from the advance team composed of Jose and others. The Colombian side has not taken any action after attacking Syracuse. Koshe is not sure what will happen next.

Perhaps it's about time to leave for Colombia.

With this thought in mind, Koshei slowly closed his eyes.

"Koshei, are you asleep?"
