Remember how long ago that was?

Probably in that incident involving a cult, when Keiko Hatoyama was hospitalized, right?

That time, for the first time, the doctors who came to treat her gave her a relatively accurate judgment, all indicators of her body were declining at an accelerated rate, and if there was no miracle, she might not live to be thirty years old.

Although more than two years later, the doctors were able to put this deadline to twenty-seven years old, at that time, it was indeed the first time that Keiko Hatoyama knew the limit of her relatively accurate lifespan.

To be honest, she was still a little scared and unwilling at that time......

Survival is an instinct engraved in people's genes, even if she is no exception.

Therefore, when Karasuma Renya got the news out of nowhere and tried to convince her with it, there was indeed a slight wavering in the depths of Hatoyama Keiko's heart.

If she has a choice, of course she wants to continue to live, she has not married Xiaoqing, she has never left Japan in her life, she actually has dreams, and there are many places she wants to go and many things she wants to do......

It's just that the price for her to live is too high, and her conscience makes it impossible for her to bear the cost.

I'm like a mayfly...... This sentence was said by Keiko Hatoyama to Karasuma Renya, and it was also said to herself.

Probably, Karasuma Renya will definitely be secretly mocking her for pretending to be high, or pretending, right?

After all, she obviously has a little idea in her heart, but she is always driven by the so-called conscience to refuse again and again......

When you think about it, he didn't have to do his taunts.

She is fundamentally different from the compassionate ancient sages in the book, she is not so immaculate, and she also has darkness in her heart.

I remember that day, Xiaoqing and Xiaokasuma also came, and when they entered the door, Xiaoqing also cleaned up the two black-suited bodyguards that Karasuma Renya left at the door.

Now that I think about it, maybe that was the best chance to kill Karasuma Renya?

With Xiao Qing's strength, he could probably put down everyone in the ward at that time without injury.

Well, careless, why didn't she think of this at the time......

Probably also affected by the deterrent power that Kokiyo showed that time, Keiko Hatoyama remembers, it seems that since then, Karasuma Renya has never met her directly.

The old fox was really afraid of death.

Thinking about it carefully, the few of them who almost had a conflict in that ward at that time, including the old fox, more or less realized something.

Among them, Keiko Hatoyama was the first to suspect the possibility that Karasuma Renya was secretly cultivating her own power.

Of course, at that time, she had to think farther and longer than the others.

She herself is dying, and her grandfather probably won't outlive her, if her suspicions are true, then when they are all gone, who will be willing to balance Karasuma Renya?

It was a change of mentality, and for the first time, Keiko Hatoyama's attitude towards Karasuma Renya changed from "control this person" to "he must be killed".

So, how can you kill him?

Keiko Hatoyama allowed her own thinking to diverge.

At that time, because she didn't know much about the power that Karasuma Renya was cultivating in secret, she was not as determined as she was a few years later, and she was determined to deal with Karasuma Renya's problem before she died.

At that time, she was thinking more about whether she could leave any way, even after her death, to send Karasuma Renya to the grave.

It was at this thought that Keiko Hatoyama first came to mind, the thought that made her feel creepy.

She saw Kiyoshi and Karasuma, who were in the same room with her at the time.

In that moment, she suddenly thought.

Because Keiko Hatoyama was destined to leave early, and at that time, she was ready to let Kokarsuma accompany Xiaoqing instead of her after her death.

You say, if that's the case, then why doesn't she go further...... What about bringing Kiyoshi and Karasuma together?

That's right, after all, Karasuma is the only blood relative of Karasuma Renya, as long as she has an idea, in the future, even if Karasuma Renya doesn't want her to touch her core things, she will definitely let her participate in his plan appropriately.

And, if Xiaoqing and Karasuma can come together, it is best to let the two of them get married, and with the help of this relationship, Xiaoqing will definitely have the opportunity to participate in Karasuma Renya's plans.

Of course, because of Keiko Hatoyama's own relationship, it may be difficult for Koqing to gain the trust of Karasuma Renya.

However, this is not a problem, because Karasuma Renya is a pure interest creature who is completely unaffected by emotional factors, as long as he believes that Xiaoqing has the same thoughts as him and can stand on the same interests as him, coupled with this relationship with Karasuma, then it is only a matter of time before Xiaoqing gains his trust.

Coupled with Xiaoqing's own quite strong ability, he will definitely be able to gradually gain the trust of Karasuma Renya for a long enough time, and in the process ascend to the high position of the Karasuma family.

At that time, he will have the ambition to completely destroy Karasuma Renya, as well as the ability to kill him completely.

The time required to cross is extremely long, and there are so many variables that it is unlikely to succeed from a normal point of view.

But only Keiko Hatoyama knows that as long as she makes up her mind, this plan will definitely succeed, and the difference is only a matter of time.

She clearly knew that she had an irreplaceable position in the hearts of Xiaoqing and Karasuma, and the moment this thought just came to her, she understood that she only needed to leave a few small foreshadowings to make this seemingly impossible plan become "indestructible" for a long time to come.

At that time, these two people, who are also irreplaceable in Keiko Hatoyama's heart, will be driven by her little foreshadowing, according to their own ideas, and without realizing themselves, they will continue to move in the direction she wants.

Until, to achieve the ending she wants.

And what makes this plan "indestructible" lies in the emotion between the three of them.

The more Kiyoshi and Karasuma care about her, the more they feel that she is irreplaceable, the higher the probability that this plan will succeed in the future.

At that moment, the moment the thought first popped into Keiko Hatoyama's mind, she suddenly felt a deep disgust for herself.

How could she have such an idea?

It was this disgust that drove her to keep the thought behind her, and even if it came up again and again, she never bothered with it.

At the same time, this is also one of the reasons why Keiko Hatoyama decided to take Karasuma Renya away before she died.

She didn't want to leave Karasuma Renya's problem to Kokiyo and them, and she couldn't guarantee what would happen in the future after her death.

So, she can only choose to solve this problem while she is still alive.

But now, she's failed.

After this time, it was impossible for Karasuma Renya to return to Japan, at least until she died.

She had to think about how she could leave a way to get rid of this scourge after she died.

Yes.

Maybe there's only one way......
