When The Male Supporting Actor Bend The Male Lead

What was the very concept of things changing?

Qi Yan never thought that Kerry would reveal all Earl Hilar’s social and political plans to Earl Guaguez. Similarly, he never expected that in just half a year, Earl Hilar had already been ordered to step down and began to choose the successor for the next Earl.

“You didn’t see his face when he was ordered to abdicate by the queen’s messenger!” Kerry excitedly talked to Qi Yan about this: “His face turned pale as if the end of the world had come! He was hesitant and his fat figure couldn’t get down on one knee. It was Tom, the ‘filial’ eldest brother who helped him kneel down.”

When he said ‘filial elder brother’, a trace of contempt and ridicule flashed on Kerry’s face.

Was he really filial? Who didn’t know that he was next in line of Earl Hilar? He was the best heir candidate and he was happy inside.

Kerry often said these things to Qi Yan. Qi Yan just listened quietly and never expressed his opinions. Kerry was used to it.

“A Yan, would you be happy if I took the position of Earl?”

Qi Yan lowered his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said softly: “I will be happy for you.”

“Just happy for me, isn’t it?” Not happy himself.

Qi Yan fiddled with the clear sea water and sighed: “Kerry, I hope you can get out of this circle and really be yourself.”

“A Yan… you still don’t understand me.” How was it possible to just hide away and let them get away with it.

He didn’t know who said this. Good people were not bad but would never receive attention; while bad people were in the limelight from the beginning.

“A Yan, I once expected it. That man resented that I didn’t have magic power. In the end, I was still his child, he wouldn’t just ignore me.” Kerry chuckled self-deprecatingly: “I was beaten black and blue all over. I lay on the bed and looked in the direction of the door without blinking, hoping that he would come quietly. Even if there was no tenderness, just leave a bottle of potion.”

Unfortunately, that was all extravagant hope.

Qi Yan didn’t insist on his own opinions anymore and he couldn’t understand the bitterness in Kerry’s heart.

“Then follow your heart and do it.”

Getting Qi Yan’s encouragement was the happiest thing for Kerry.

[Kerry’s favorability towards Qi Yan +10, current favorability: 70]

Earl Hilar had completely stepped down, so the war for the next earl’s successor would be very fierce. As the Earl who was ordered to step down by the Queen, Earl Hilar was not eligible to participate in this election.

In the past few days, Kerry had been very busy. He was building contacts while watching out for his brothers to make a move. He hadn’t had a good chat with Qi Yan for several days. He came to the beach at night and only stayed for a few minutes before leaving.

Qi Yan was also happy and at ease. Kerry’s state was much better than his usual gloomy and silent state.

The days slipped away from his fingers and the winter was about to begin. Qi Yan had to return to the volcanic sea again for the winter. Before leaving, Kerry sat on the reef, wearing a slim tuxedo that was much more luxurious than before. His messy hair was also cleaned one by one and his handsome hairstyle was fixed with hair wax.

Looking at Qi Yan’s fishtail, Kerry asked the question he had long wanted to ask.

“A Yan, can you turn into a human?”

Qi Yan paused and didn’t think about it elsewhere: “Yes.”

“Then if you become human, you don’t need to stay in the sea, do you?”

“No, in the end, I’m still a fish.” Qi Yan explained to him: “When I leave the water, my fish tail will automatically become human legs, but it can only last for two weeks. After two weeks, a mermaid will die due to lack of water.”

Kerry concealed the light that flashed in his eyes: “Then…please give me another hug.”

When parting, there must always be hugs.

But Qi Yan hesitated. Kerry’s clothes were much better than those in the winter of last year. The sea water all over his body would stick to them and made it dirty.

“There’s no need to hug. When I come back in the spring, I hope you can get what you want.”

Kerry faintly retracted his arms that were about to open and curled his lips with a smile: “Of course.”

The boy really grew up. Although there was no decent coming-of-age ceremony, he still grew up. He was getting more and more handsome. It was unknown if he inherited his mother’s beauty or his father’s shrewdness. From this point of view, Kerry was really one of the best young people in Erli City.

“Qi Yan, I assure you that when you come back, this castle will be mine.”

The Hilar’s mansion was huge and luxurious, though the only place where Kerry could have the final say was the round tower with the side door.

Qi Yan raised the corners of his mouth for the first time and gave a light smile.

“I will watch you become an Earl, my friend.”

After speaking, Qi Yan leaped forward, the beautiful fish tail was exposed from the bottom of the sea, drawing a perfect arc, and with his twisting movements, a little splash of water was sprayed out.

Kerry wiped the drops of water sprayed on his face and a sense of loss seemed to rise in his heart.

Qi Yan was not there and the world seemed to lose its flavor.

In the bitter winter of this year, too many things happened on the mainland.

First, Earl Hilar was accused of corruption and the Queen personally sent envoys to read out the news of his resignation. Secondly, the war for the position of Earl Hilar. Earl Hilar’s five sons were all involved. It was shocking that Earl Hilar’s opponent, Earl Guaguez, joined other nobles to support Hickory Hilar rose to the top. For a while, this bastard who had never appeared in front of the world suddenly burst into flames, causing the whole situation to change drastically.

In the study, Kerry threw the files to the ground irritably, and kicked it fiercely before giving up.

——Again with this report! A bastard! A bastard! A bastard!

Kerry’s brother also seized the only thing that Kerry had, trying to use his position as a direct descendant to trample on him forever.

Yes, tied to Hilar’s identity, he would always be just a bastard.

Without formal education and no talent for magic, it was not enough to play with the support of Earl Guaguez and his henchmen.

His own abilities were limited and no matter how many people from the outside world supported him, there was no way.

Earl Guaguez had already spoken out. All he could do was to support Kerry. As for Kerry’s own problems, he still needed to solve them by himself.

“Now you look like a lost lamb.”

A familiar voice suddenly came from the door of the study, and the sweet and soft tone made Kerry’s eyebrows frown.

Looking back, it was Nasha in a white teaching uniform.

“How did you get in?”

Since Earl Hilar stepped down, Kerry had moved out from the round tower and had his own place in the castle.

Nasha walked in with a dignified smile on her face, carrying her skirt, her off-white leather shoes with lace edges were looming.

“Kerry, my promise still stands.”

Nasha came to Kerry’s side, stood on her tiptoes, and slowly approached him.

“Then I will ask again.”

The pink lips stayed three centimeters away from Kerry’s ears, exhaling slightly, which was particularly attractive.

“Are you willing to cooperate with me?”
