The night gradually fades away, and the dawn before the sun rises is the darkest time of the day.

The stars faded.

In front of the huge window on the third floor of [House of Hearth], Krevy sat on the windowsill, her back against the window frame.

With a Band-Aid on her cute face, Krevy lay sideways, looking out the window.

"Pepe, what do you think the dawn of Liyue is like?"

Krevy suddenly asked.

"I heard that the Rock God of Liyue is the oldest of the Seven Gods. Liyue is thriving under his rule."

"The people of Liyue never have to worry about being oppressed by the nobles. They run their own businesses, abide by contracts, and earn wealth through honesty and hard work."

"In Liyue, children are never forced by adults to do assassination or the like. Children who are about the same age as us have the warm embrace of their parents. They can do whatever they want. Even if they make a mistake, they will not lose their lives for it..."

"Those are not things we can dream of, Krevy."

Peruvian stood aside, very close to the window, with her head slightly lowered, and only spoke out to remind Klevi when she was having unrealistic fantasies.

"We were raised by [Mother], and we must obey [Mother's] orders."

Peruvian's voice was calm. She did not have the surprise or fear that other children would have when they found out that their brothers and sisters had rebellious tendencies.

In fact, Peruvian knew about Krevi's thoughts a long time ago.

Krevy, the true daughter of the [mother], is extremely dissatisfied with her mother.

Although she is Kugavina's biological daughter, apart from looking a bit like Kugavina, Krevi has no relationship with her in any other aspects.

Kujavina hates sweets, but Krevy loves them very much.

Kujavina treats everything with the mindset of how to make use of it and squeeze out the maximum value possible, without any sympathy at all.

But Krevie is a very kind and innocent girl. She likes everyone in [Heartland House] and wants to live happily with her brothers and sisters. She doesn't want to see the death of any of her companions.

The three views of Kugavina and Krevi are completely diametrically opposed.

To Kugavina, Krevy was just another layer of mother-daughter material, no different from any other child brought into the [Heartland House].

And for Krevi, Kugavina is always her mother, and she has always had the greatest fantasy about Kugavina.

Hopefully, Kujavina can change her mind and be a little gentler towards her brothers and sisters.

For this reason, Krevi was even able to take the initiative to lead her brothers and sisters to rebel against Kugavina.

Ever since Kugavina forced them to participate in the [Assessment], Krevi has united everyone to resist Kugavina's tyranny more than once.

Krevy instigated everyone to deliberately draw the game during the [Assessment] so that both sides could survive.

However, Krevy clearly underestimated how cruel her mother was.

Both parties in a tie will be judged as having inferior scores and will be immediately eliminated.

Krewei also organized an escape with everyone, but failed. What awaited them was extremely severe punishment.

Kugavina [eliminated] 70% of the children who took part in the escape, and the remaining children were hung on the beams of the house without water for three days, and some of the children died in the process.

After many failures, the children finally realized that Mother's spies were everywhere in Hearth House, and some of them had even betrayed Mother and joined her.

Peruvian knew her mother Kugavina's methods very well, so she interrupted Krevi when she said such "treasonous" words.

"Krevy, you are too tired. Go to bed early."

Peruvian turned around and was about to leave. She didn't trust anyone in this [House of Hearth].

"Wait! Pepe."

Klevi called out to Peruvili, she jumped down from the window, put her hands behind her back, and walked to Peruvili with a faint smile on her face.

"Ok?"

Peruvian turned and looked at Krevy, confused.

Krevi looked around Peruvian inexplicably, sometimes pulling Peruvian's hand, sometimes tugging at Peruvian's clothes.

Pinch the face, tap the forehead, pull the ears, lift the hair, and stare at Pelleville's mushroom eyes.

"……What are you doing?"

Peruvili couldn't stand it any longer, she grabbed Krevy's hand and said in a cold tone.

"I'm trying to confirm whether Pepe is still Pepe."

Krevy said seriously.

"So? What did you find out?" said Peruvian.

"Well, it's confirmed. From the outside, Pepe is still Pepe." Krevy nodded.

"But I don't know what's going on inside. After all, I don't have the ability to read minds. I don't know if Pepe's heart is still Pepe."

What do I mean? I am not me, but I am still me?

Peruvian was a little speechless. She suppressed her impatience and said, "I am who I am. I have not become someone else."

"Really? Then why does Pepe look so much like his mother tonight?" Krevy crossed her arms, her emerald green eyes filled with scrutiny.

"..."

Peruvian was silent for a moment. She finally understood why Klevi said so many inexplicable things tonight.

"Pepe, I know you don't care much about your other brothers and sisters, but we are a family living under one family. I don't ask too much from you, I just hope you can care about them a little bit, even if it's just a little bit."

Klevy reached out and held Peruvian's hands. Through the thick black gloves, Peruvian could not feel the warmth of Klevy's hands.

Peruvili stared at Krevi quietly, her emerald green eyes were filled with pleading and concern, but her red mushroom eyes were as dead as stagnant water.

"Pepe, don't be like [Mother]. I've already lost a mother, and I don't want to lose you, my dear friend."

Krevy's voice was very soft, and there seemed to be tears in her eyes.

"……Feel sorry……"

Peruvian lowered her head and said.

"I'm sorry to have made you worry. I promise you, Krevy."

Is a best friend a friend that is closer than a close friend?

Krevy said she was her best friend, what did she mean?

Peruvili wondered, is there anyone she can trust?

Seeing that Peruvili was "reflecting on his mistakes", Krevy felt much more relieved.

Klevi hugged Peruvian's arm, and this intimate gesture made Peruvian quite uncomfortable.

"You're the best, Pepe!"

"Let's rest early. Mother has given us three days off. Let's go to Fontaine for a stroll!"

"Ah."

The one who responded to Krevy was Peruvili's brief voice.

During the holidays, would that woman really be so kind?

Peruvian was skeptical.
