Context : If anyone has forgotten, Kikimora is talking about the scene that happen a few chapters ago when she realized that Belos actually care about Hunter cause he's his nephew, looks like Kiki is the only one in the coven who knows that the Golden Guard is the Emperor nephew.
Also in this AU Belos actually fix the key to make it work multiple times like it uses to, instead of whatever he did in canon during King's Tide event, and believe me, Belos lying about the fact that Hunter is not a Grimwalker right now is going to make the pain stronger when he reveal it.
Why Hunter ask for Belos's permission if he was already going to the Owl House? Well, after the talk they had in the last chapter, Hunter thinks that it would've been much more easier if both him and Belos had less secrets from each other.
