"Sigurd, my boy, although Dr. Einstein has already explained it clearly to me before, I still have to ask for confirmation. Those... uh... Bee and Bird things, you didn't do them, right?" Siegfried stared at Sigurd intently.

His choice of words was very professional, so professional that nobody would understand them in any other way. Sigurd's face immediately turned dark.

"You're full of these messy things in your head, that's why you're so unreliable. What I was doing was just sleeping together and helping them wash their hair. How could I possibly do anything to them? You filthy imbecile!" Sigurd reprimanded him mercilessly, causing Siegfried to scratch his head and involuntarily reveal a look of appeasement.

For some reason, after Einstein and Welt had persuaded him and erased those associations, Siegfried, who had calmed down and extinguished his anger, felt inexplicably guilty and uneasy in the face of Sigurd once again, as if he had encountered his nemesis.

He quickly explained, "Um, it's not that I have any doubts about you! It's just that both of you are still too young, and some things aren't appropriate. When you and Kiana are older... I think it would be quite suitable."

With his intelligence and reliability, he could take care of and control Kiana. And based on his current appearance, it was certain that he would remain handsome in the future—a perfect son-in-law candidate. However, Sigurd's face grew even darker.

"How could I possibly be attracted to a brat like her?" Sigurd's tone was filled with undisguised disdain. As a father, Siegfried awkwardly laughed, but didn't dare to argue...

How should he put it? He still felt guilty about leaving Kiana. Sigurd had been taking care of her during this time, and Siegfried was grateful but also felt indebted to him.

Even if he put those feelings aside, facing Sigurd's cold and severe expression... If someone else disparaged Kiana, Siegfried would definitely retort, but Sigurd's words were something he couldn't afford to provoke.

"Fiuuu~" Siegfried involuntarily averted his gaze, whistling nervously. Sigurd had a vein throbbing on his forehead. So, when Kiana feels guilty, she whistles like this because she learned it from you, huh? Unfortunately, she didn't learn it properly.

Siegfried could at least produce a sound, while Kiana only blew air without any sound. Sigurd sighed and continued,

"Siegfried, I have a question, weren't you nearby us when the incident in Piltover happened? Why don't you lend a hand to help?"

"I wasn't. I saw that you were taking good care of Kiana, so I left to do my own thing. When I heard the news and rushed back, you had already left... I'm truly sorry."

"I was just asking casually, it's not your fault."

"...Anyway, is there anything you need recently? Although I don't have much money, I won't back down from a fight against anyone."

Sigurd looked at Siegfried and could see genuine remorse and apology on his face. If Siegfried had stayed a few more months, there might not have been as many casualties in the Piltover area.

His Judgement of Shamash would have been enough to wipe out the monsters before they attacked the city. But blaming him was pointless, as Sigurd had said. It wasn't Siegfried's fault.
