Reborn Demon Girl Will Not Meet the Uncle Hero

Chapter 229 Ten Years Later

With peace prevailing, time seemed to fly by, as if a speed-up button had been pressed.

The only king, Dorro, had a total of seven children.

The eldest daughter, Luluan, and the sixth child, Novi, were both children of Lisdowes. Both were girls, but the difference was that Luluan was a vampire, while Novi was conceived naturally through human means. The Wise King Boguko had only one child, a boy named "Brave," on whom he placed great hopes.

The third child was named Cristo, also a boy, Rose's child. The fourth child was Nemos, a girl, Adriana's daughter. The fifth child was named Natto, Nore's son. The last child was A. Sion's child, but the method of conception is hard to say; perhaps Moher was involved—in any case, that child was not born through normal means.

Theoretically speaking, Mohe, who was the most favored by Doro, still did not conceive any of Doro's children.

This could be seen as Doro's wariness of Moh, or it could be seen as proof that Moh did not fall in love with Doro. In any case, when the seventh child was born, the eldest daughter Luluan and the eldest son Bref were ten and nine years old, respectively.

Just as Moh had said at the beginning, Doro felt the flow of power.

The simplest example is that Luluan's teacher is Adriana, and Adriana's own daughter, Nemos, naturally has a much better relationship with Luluan than with her other siblings. In the world of the One King, the two have become political allies, and many people believe that the next One King will be born from these two girls, especially Luluan.

She possesses the seed of blessing.

Although she is a vampire, as Doro's first child, she is undoubtedly the child of great interest. In comparison, her eldest son, Brave, despite possessing the cursed seed, seems more trustworthy based on his name alone, as the blessed seed appears to be more reliable. However, people also believe that Doro loves Moher, who is the source of the curse—and many are investing in this child, such as the current wizarding community. In Nefertari clearly cannot ignore the cursed seed in Brave and genuinely believes that investing in this child is more advantageous.

Moreover, the child's mother is the wise king.

Just thinking about it makes it clear that if it were about managing this world, Bref would be the more suitable choice. Besides, Bref is human, while Luluan is not.

As for the other children, they might have other ideas, but they are all still young, while Doro possesses eternal life.

Logically speaking, no matter what kind of trouble the children cause, Doro, as an immortal being, can clean up their messes, so he doesn't need to care what they do; he only needs to do what makes him happy...

However, this idea only exists in another eternal life form, Moher.

"My beloved and only king, you seem troubled. Your loyal servant, Moh, has come as usual today. Do you need some comfort?"

Over the years, Moh had gotten into the habit of coming to Doro every day to ask him about it. If Doro was planning to find other girls, he would tell her—after all, it would be troublesome to be suddenly called over by Doro while you were doing something else if you didn't ask him.

"Come sit here."

Moher then began to remove his clothes.

"No! That's not what I meant."

Mohe was somewhat surprised. After getting dressed again, she couldn't help but sigh, "Time is truly a great power. You've finally grown tired of my body... Or perhaps you've lost interest in this kind of thing? I do have some methods to help you... or rather, you need me to become an adult."

"I have something I want to ask you. As for what it is, that's a matter for later."

Mohe smiled knowingly: "Ah, I see."

The girl, dressed in a maid's outfit, came to Doro's bedside, knelt down, and climbed onto the bed: "Is it because you haven't asked me, your humble and insignificant maid, for some knowledge in a long time, as you have in the past?"

In recent years, Doro has rarely asked Moh any questions. He has the right and power, and he tries his best to think. He knows that he needs to improve his understanding to a level comparable to Moh's... but this is a very difficult thing. Even as the only king, standing high and seeing far, there are still all sorts of things he cannot understand.

"Will my children fight?"

"Of course, Mr. Doro, for those with short lives, power is the most alluring thing in the world. Many people can only truly feel alive when they have power, and that feeling is irresistible to them. I know what you want to say: if you were to take your child and your woman and go to a remote, quiet, unknown place, and live an ordinary life there, could you avoid this conflict? Of course you can do that, because you are powerful enough. But I think that's not your choice."

"Why do you say that?"

"Would our once great hero, A. Godora, give up his fight against the Demon King just because he was so powerful it was suffocating? In the end, he reached the Demon King and killed him—and even Mr. Doro, who has now become a decadent old man, has once again defeated the resurrected Demon King, hasn't he? Would you give up defeating me and letting me become the ruler of the world just because we have a good relationship, or even because you like me? Since you have personally chosen to become the only king, and personally chosen this path, you will not back down. Mr. Doro."

Moher then transformed into an adult.

This is a tacit understanding between Mohe and Doro. When Mohe reveals this state, it means that she is speaking to the One King as the Demon King, not as a maid to Doro.

Even though the maid outfit, which was meant for lolis, was almost bursting at the seams.

Okay, it really did burst.

However, Moh made no attempt to conceal anything. Leaning against the bedside, she looked at Doro with a half-smile: "I suppose you didn't really call me here to ask for my opinion? At this point, you no longer need my opinion. Your knowledge, your understanding, your will are enough to support your sole empire. As the ruler of the world, you can simply address the problems as they become apparent, or let me handle them, or use your power to resolve them..."

She paused, then continued, "So, you've already made your decision, but you feel uneasy about it and want to confide in me—because you can't confide in other girls around you. After all, this decision concerns them, it's about their children. You can only tell me, who doesn't have children. Don't you feel fortunate that I didn't get pregnant with your child?" "If you had a child, this wouldn't be a problem to consider," Doro replied.

"Hey~ you really do like me that much?"

The golden and silver pupils were filled with a bewitching charm. Doro didn't like these eyes much before, but recently he has grown to like them more and more. When Moh looks at you with these eyes, you feel like everything is seen through, and no secret can be hidden under these eyes—but this power is not the symbolism of these eyes themselves, not the power to penetrate space, reality and illusion, but the power of time.

It is the wisdom that Moher has accumulated over a long period of time and years, which is reflected in his eyes.

That kind of thing is fascinating.

"Perhaps, as you say, you already knew before my children were born that a struggle would inevitably take place around them, unless, as you say, I sit forever on the throne of the One and Only King." Doro sighed. "But that's impossible. I do realize that the One Kingdom, the One King, is a very unreasonable thing, especially when there are no real enemies in this world."

Moh looked at Doro: "So you mean to make me the enemy of the world again, so that all the races can unite and the One King will have a legitimate legal basis? Is that right?"

“Some conflicts are irreconcilable,” Doro suddenly said. “Even if I become the sole king, I will find it difficult to resolve these conflicts. For example, the rat-people and cat-people among the minority races possess an instinctive will to fight. If I want to stop their fighting, either I have to destroy both races, or I can only ask you to modify the ‘roots’ of these two races to fundamentally erase this will to fight… But I can’t do either of those.”

“If I were willing, I would do either,” Moh explained his situation. “So, what you mean is…”

"I intend to truly begin the transition of power," Doro finally revealed his thoughts. "Although the oldest of the children is only ten years old, various forces have already begun to gravitate towards them. Although these actions are currently being carried out very discreetly, as you know, we can see them."

Doro's expression was very serious: "This is an inevitable struggle. Even though this struggle hasn't actually happened before my eyes, the world is already trending in this direction. I suddenly realized that if the whole world is unified, it's no different from if the whole world is not unified. The struggle between the major powers still exists, but under my suppression, this struggle may have become more civilized. Perhaps it has become more acceptable—as you said, if I continue to be this sole king, then this gentleness will always exist. But perhaps..."

He was shaken.

Moh knew perfectly well that Doro did not possess the qualities of a king. He had forced himself to become the sole king. He was not the type to cruelly tell someone to "die." Even if someone offended or angered him, he would not kill them unless he felt they had to be eradicated.

What makes a hero worthy of praise is precisely what makes a king most unsuitable.

Simply put, he is not someone who should hold power. The reason why the Kingdom has been able to avoid trouble all these years is because the Wise King has contributed a lot. That person has indeed wholeheartedly assisted Doro on this level. Of course, it is also possible that she believes that her child will inherit Doro's position, so she decided to do some things to pave the way for her child's ascension to the throne.

After all, everyone could see that Doro wouldn't be the sole king for long. Even though he had become an eternal being, sitting in this position would only torment him. If time went on, perhaps, like with the goddess, another will, another soul, would be born within him—the phenomena that the will of a being of this level could cause were truly bizarre.

At that time, Doro might be the source of the world's destruction.

Of course, no one would say such things to Doro, but Doro himself had some understanding of it. So, he finally began to waver.

He possesses the power and wisdom of a king, but lacks the personality of a king.

"If you feel you're not suitable, how about I do it?"

Looking at Doro's expression, Moh moved closer to him, almost touching him: "Isn't there a better way? You can be my king alone."

Golden and silver eyes met Doro's gaze. Even Doro, after all these years, had never understood Moh's thoughts. Just like now, Doro never expected Moh to say such a thing: "What do you mean by this?"

The two looked into each other's eyes, unwavering.

It's like looking at the most precious treasure in the world.

“I will become the sole king and rule this world, while you only need to be my king and rule everything I do. You tell me what kind of world you want, and I will make it that way. You tell me your dissatisfaction, and I will satisfy you. Ruling this world is too difficult for you; you don't have that kind of determination. But ruling me wouldn't be a bad thing for you, would it?”

She was still looking into Doro's eyes, but her hand was already stroking Doro's face: "This is an answer that will satisfy everyone. You don't need to rule the world, you only need to rule me, rule your family, how easy is that? And I will also fulfill my original wish and rule the world."

That's a complete lie.

If she truly wanted to dominate the world, she would have done so long ago; she was simply waiting for "interesting rebels." She just stumbled on her own end.

Doro knows.

He roughly pressed Moher down, forcing her to look away from him.

"You know I've already made up my mind. What's the point of making this suggestion?"

"You really are... You clearly want to bully me, but I don't think you need to make up such an excuse. I hope you can be a little gentler."
