Yifa and Killian continued to live together as mates but if nobody knew about them being mates, they would assume that they were only acquaintances because they rarely talk and they are rarely seen together.Killian kept to himself in his office trying to look busy even if he wasn't.Sometimes, he really is busy because ever since he defeated the South, he has been appointed as the new King of the South as well.It wasn't really his intention to take that role because the only thing on his mind at that time was Yifa and that Brian was a threat to Yifa 's life so he needed to dispose of him as soon as possible.But now that he was given the South as a new responsibility, he wasn't exactly happy about it but he had no regrets about killing Brian because Yifa 's safety will always be his priority.He has been creating major decisions for the South because when he visited them once after the war, they had a poor and underdeveloped living state which means he needed to allocate some of the
