She had helped raised Sigrid with Alastor and his wife centuries ago, and to see her so hurt broke her heart.

"Tsk... That bastard Alatus... I should just rip his heart out." He murmured, gently setting Sigrid's hand down.

His child looked more like him than her mother. Something Alastor had once resented when Sigrid was born before his late wife had endlessly praised their daughter's appearance. Sigrid looked like him, aside from the strands or sections of hair that was the same color as her mothers, as well as the red eyes that didn't match Alastor's naturally blue and yellow ones. The red wasn't exactly the same as the orange tinted optics of her mother owned.

They were red, and Alastor knew very well that those eyes were because of him. But he couldn't help but notice the slightly orange specks in Sigrid's eyes. A part of him believed she looked like her mother.

Sigrid, his daughter, his heir, and the last reminder he had of his mother. His beloved daughter who he had protected for centuries, making sure she was kept secret from both Barbatos and Morax for her safety. He hid her, like the diamond he considered her to be, and made sure that no one who planned to take her from him were to see her.

Sigrid Caelentis.

"My parents and brother would have loved her." Alastor mindlessly whispered. "My Master would have adored her."

He dryly chuckled, cupping Sigrid's cheek and planting a soft kiss to her forehead. "My beloved star... Our little wolf."

Zhi You giggled, "Lion cub. You and Your wife would have been bickering by now whether or not Sigrid is a wolf or a lion."

Alastor rolled his eyes, "Definitely a wolf. Have you seen her?" He gestured to the girl.

The demon sighed, "Take care of her while I deal with the others. They'll have questions..."

"Especially Morax... The man looked heartbroken." Zhi You snorted, replacing Alastor's place on the chair beside Sigrid's bed.

"Heartbroken... You know it will never works." Alastor sighed hopelessly as Zhi You hummed.

"I know... But, let's be honest here. Jeckyll and Hyde have their own preferences... Between Aether and Zhongli, which one does either evils like better?"

A question that Alastor never answered.

"Neither... My capability to love was lost the day my wife died... I tried Zhi You, I really did." Alastor pressed his hand against the doorknob. "And it ended with Gwyneira going insane."

.

"So, in conclusion, Alastor has a secret daughter who," Childe trailed of, pointing towards Xiao. "this one attacked just because she was being suspicious? Oh, this is great!"

Childe cackled like a madman, "The contract demon already despises you and your nation and has only started to warm up to you. He's never gonna step foot in Liyue ever again."

"Tartaglia!" Diluc yelled, glaring at the harbinger. Yet deep down, he knew that everything Childe said was right.

Alastor had treated Diluc, Razor, Bennett, Hu Tao, and Paimon like his own children. He was deathly protective of them like a wolf and would not hesitate to fight anyone for them. While they were seemingly adopted, the child Xiao had attacked was Alastor's biological daughter from the descriptions and tidbits of information Zhi You provided.
