The hero's gender is yet to be determined after rebirth.

"what!"

In an instant, the King and Queen stood up!

Just a moment ago, it was just one person, but this time, the couple were both startled and stood up.

Kurala was speechless, staring at Lorenwei with wide eyes.

"Anyway, I'm too honest and straightforward. When I can't figure something out, I keep thinking about it over and over again. Sometimes, strange ideas pop into my head," Lorenwei laughed. "Your Majesty the King and Queen can just take it as a joke. I'm just an honest and straightforward person talking nonsense."

"You still want to be honest and law-abiding?" Kurara snorted.

If you were honest and law-abiding, how many dishonest and law-abiding people would there be in the world?

Lorenwei raised her chin: "Anyway, if I were the advisor to the Fate Empire, I would offer such a plan to His Majesty the Emperor."

Kurara scoffed, "Is it because you're always scheming to trick people that you figured out this idea? Even if the facts don't match your guess, it's still a vicious scheme!"

The king and queen slowly sat down.

Their minds raced, they went over everything in their heads, and they increasingly felt that it seemed possible.

The king asked, "So the girl with the high collection attribute in black robes is just a decoy?"

Lorenwei nodded: "I think so. Of course, it would be good to collect them; they'll always have some use."

My arrest might just be a smokescreen... Kurara despises the Black Robe Organization; they look down on people!

"The King and I were just discussing how to severely retaliate against the Black Robe," the Queen said, puzzled. "But how do you explain the Black Robe's sudden attack on us yesterday? And what about their previous attack on Kurara?"

“So I think the Fate Empire must be behind the Black Robe. This makes a good explanation for everything,” Lorenwei laughed. “If we capture Kurara, we can force you to cooperate with the Black Robe and solidify your reputation for resurrecting the Demon King. At the very least, it will restrain you. If we capture the King, it will be even more convenient. Without a leader, we can quickly annihilate him.”

The king clicked his tongue in exasperation, then thought of something else: "After the envoy arrived, two protectors of the Black Robe Organization appeared one after the other, which is quite concerning. Yesterday, when the Black Robe envoy left, a hidden protector of the Black Robe Organization was... well, I wonder which powerful figure..."

"By the way, I injured that guy by throwing my sword," Lorenwei said casually, with the air of a master.

"...Lorenwei, you also know martial arts?" the king asked in surprise.

The Queen and Kurara nodded in unison, saying, "She will."

Lorenwei counted on her fingers with her delicate white hands, feigning an inscrutable expression: "The Shadow Protector, the Puppet Protector, and the Black Mist Protector I killed earlier—a total of three protectors from the Black Robe Organization have fallen at my hands. Sigh, I didn't expect the Black Robe Organization to be so easily defeated."

"There's also a Black Mist Guardian?" The Queen looked at Kurara in surprise.

Kurara nodded: "I'll tell you when I have time. Lorenve destroyed the Black Mist Guardian's body to cover up the crime."

"..." The king turned to look at his wife and daughter, and after a long while said, "Do you know a lot of things that I don't know?"

The old king really wanted to ask: What exactly happened between you and this seemingly beautiful woman who might become a man? I don't know, but you do, and it makes me inexplicably uncomfortable.

His thoughts, like this sentence, had become tangled and inextricably intertwined...

Lorenwei continued her analysis: "I think there are internal divisions within the Black Robe Organization. Perhaps some people are focused on their work, while others have been bribed and are directly following the Empire's orders, which has led to slight differences in their attitudes towards His Majesty the King. But the fact that two protectors are in trouble—no, three protectors—doesn't mean the secret mission will stop. Because the flaws don't overshadow the merits; as long as the Second Prince dies in the Kingdom of Percy, you will ultimately be implicated."

Lorenwei continued her analysis, including some inferences about the development of the continent that Jason and Ethers had mentioned, as well as her understanding of the situation on the continent and the internal forces within the Fite Empire.

The King and Queen gradually came to the conclusion that the highest levels of the Fite Empire very likely wanted the Second Prince to die in the Kingdom of Posi!

Whether it's assassination or poisoning, they'll use the Second Prince as a scapegoat to smear the Kingdom of Posi.

However, it's not a definitive conclusion. After all, it's a high probability assessment, but it also has many flaws. For example, why would the highest levels of the Fate Empire be so determined to destroy the Second Prince's lineage? After all, although the Second Prince wasn't as powerful as the First Prince, he had still managed to cultivate his power for many years and achieve some success.

Kurara was still a little uncertain: "Will the Fate Empire really kill its own second prince?"

The Queen said, "Whether it's possible or certain, we need to be wary of this. Fortunately, Lorenwei guessed it."

"Then, we must ensure the safety of the Second Prince at all costs?"

“Yes, we also need to make him fully realize that he will be killed, and then use him, maybe… well, who knows, we’ll see how it goes.” Lorenwei said, “So, if Your Majesty the King and Your Majesty the Queen don’t mind, I would like to offer you a second gift.”

"A second gift?" The King and Queen did not understand.

“With me here, I can’t let Kurara’s parents worry. I will ensure the Second Prince’s safety.” Lorenwei smiled confidently.

How could she, who loves excitement the most, not go and meet the Second Prince?

Kurara laughed and said, "You? How can you guarantee that? Aren't you afraid of being mistaken for an assassin by the Second Prince's guards? Or, we could present you to the Second Prince as an unparalleled beauty?"

The Queen feigned delight: "No, just present it directly to Emperor Fate, and I doubt there will be any problems!"

"Mother!" Kurala panicked.

The Queen patted Kurara: "Look how anxious you are, is that even possible?"

Kula blushed, realizing she had revealed her true feelings.

“However, Kurala’s anxiety is justified.” The Queen helped her daughter off the stage and looked at Lorenwei. “We can’t offer you to the Second Prince. But if you don’t reveal your identity when you appear in the welcoming procession, the Second Prince will probably ask us for you and make you serve him tonight.”

Kurala's face changed color, realizing that this was indeed very likely.

At the same time, she felt a little strange. Is there anyone in the world who worries about their husband being taken advantage of? Well, maybe if her husband is handsome enough, it's possible.

"Ahem. I don't want to reveal my identity as a descendant of a hero, so I'll just stay close to the Second Prince." Lorenwei coughed twice and volunteered to His Majesty the King, "Does Your Majesty agree?"

The king hesitated: "This... do you have a way to hide yourself next to him?"

Lorenwei confidently took something out of her spatial ring and put it on her wrist: "Well, as a chef with excellent cooking skills but mediocre appearance, it shouldn't be a problem for me to slowly get close to His Majesty the Second Prince, right?"

What she took out was naturally the Weak Face Ring. This treasure greatly diminished Lorenwei's beautiful appearance, turning her into merely a pretty young girl.

Kurara bit her lip; the ring reminded her of Loren…

However, after shaking her head, Kurara quickly banished the image of Loren from her mind and took Lorenwei's hand, saying, "I know you want to impress my parents, but don't force yourself. It's quite dangerous, so it's best not to go."

Before Lorenwei could confidently declare that she was willing to take any risks for him, Her Majesty the Queen interjected, "Yes, even my daughter can hold your hand in front of her parents. Even if we didn't approve of your relationship, would we? So don't feel guilty."

The king laughed heartily beside him.

"Ah!" Kurara suddenly realized that she hadn't been paying attention again, her face turned bright red, and she covered her face and ran away.

“Kurara is too wonderful. I don’t know what gift to give to reflect the preciousness of Her Highness and to express my gratitude to Her Majesty the King and Queen.” Lorenwei stood up and bowed to the King and Queen. “At the very least, we must ensure that her homeland is peaceful and stable. So please allow me to do my part today.”

Kurara, who was hiding by the door and hadn't gone out, vaguely heard her words. Looking at Lorenwei, who was now an ordinary-looking girl, even though she no longer looked like the handsome girl she used to be, her heart was pounding as it had been when Lorenwei offered her flowers...

It took Kurala a long time to recover.

Then, she began to worry that Lorenwei would be taken by the Second Prince to serve him in bed...

Of course, it's also possible that the second prince was completely infatuated with her...

Chapter 191 The Harem's Battleground Truce Agreement; Lorenwei's Infiltration of the Maid Corps

"That guy still hasn't come out!" Sylph paced back and forth inside the reception hall.

She even took down a bow hanging on the wall without any hesitation and kept gently pulling the bowstring.

The soft tinkling of the bowstring perfectly masked the sound of the elf gritting her teeth.

This action made the maids serving nearby jump in surprise. Could someone be killed? Luckily, there were no arrows, or the maids would probably have run away in fright.

Although Meilan didn't fiddle with the bow and arrow, she was eating while holding the bow with both hands, saying in a slightly unclear voice, "What's the rush? Let's eat our snacks and wait for her."

She eats enough to skip lunch. Of course, she eats very little for breakfast, feeding almost all of it to Puyo.

"I wonder if Kurara's parents will agree to their relationship, no, I should say..." Sylph paused, but her hand moved faster as she plucked the bowstring.

Fortunately, she had the basic skills of an archer and knew that drawing the string without a bow would damage it, so she simply played it gently like a zither.

"What should I say?" Meilan asked curiously.

“…Melan, it must be nice to be happy every day like you.” Instead of answering, Silph sighed enviously.

"Haha, life is short... a magical life is short, we should seize the moment and be happy," Meilan said with a laugh.

“A magical life, huh? Hahaha, then Lorenve must be a group-damage mage.” Sylph had no idea that Melanie’s slip of the tongue had any profound implications, and simply laughed, “However, her magic is currently being tested. I’m wondering if King Percy will require her to only cast single-target spells.”

"Single-target magic? What's that?" Meilan asked curiously.

Sylph patted Melanie on the shoulder: "Melanie, have you really not thought about this? I just asked the maid, and His Majesty the King only has one Queen and no concubines."

"What's going on?"

Sylph hesitated for a moment, then said, "Um... do you think King and Queen Percy would not tolerate Lorenve... um... having another woman by her side?"

"What does it have to do with them?" Meilan retorted.

"...There is some connection after all. You know, Lorenve can't bear to part with Kurara, what if the King and Queen don't allow it..."

Meilan laughed and said, "Actually, it really has nothing to do with the King and Queen. The key is whether Kula will agree."

Sylph paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "...It seems so."

"Then what's there to worry about? She slept with us last night and made her stance quite clear, didn't she?" Meilan spread her hands, almost dropping the pastries in her hands, but quickly pulled them back.

“…Melan, sometimes your words are really philosophical.” Sylph thought with admiration.

Everyone thought that Meilan was naive and straightforward, but she turned out to be the one who saw things most clearly and understood the most...

Even Lorenwei wasn't sure if her harem plan had succeeded. But now, she had made it clear for Lorenwei.

"Don't worry. I'll take Lorenwei into my harem. I don't mind if you follow her. I only need Lorenwei. She's my beloved concubine, and you are hers..." Meilan said, spouting nonsense that sounded like gibberish to others.

Meilan wanted to use a word, but couldn't think of one after thinking for a long time. Given her limited education in the village, she really didn't have a rich vocabulary to describe it.

If Lorenwei were present, she would definitely say: Are Sylph and Kurara considered my male consorts?

“Girls shouldn’t have harems,” Siruf said with a smile.

If I become the Demon King, I can summon a harem whenever I want, hmph, and like King Percy, I will only marry one wife, and the choice will naturally be Lorenve.

Eye-catching, cooking, making money, chatting, swearing, fighting, warming the bed… she can do it all, hmm? Something strange seems to have crept in. Oh well, Lorenwei is more versatile than anyone else anyway. Lorenwei is the perfect candidate for the future Demon King's harem queen! Meilan thought with absolute certainty.

"In short, Melanie, you can't take this lightly all the time. This is a once-in-a-lifetime event. If you miss it, you'll miss it forever. After all, she's so good. Whether it's her figure or her family background, we can't compare to her..." Siluf started to remind Melanie, "We both need to be careful of Kurara. Be careful that Lorenwei doesn't end up being monopolized by her."

"My background can't compare to Kurara's? Hmph, you don't know I'm the successor of the Demon King, do you?" Meilan thought smugly, not taking it to heart at all.

"Oh? You're wary of me?" Kurara's voice came from behind.

"Cough cough..." Siruf's face instantly turned bright red, as if she had been caught red-handed talking behind someone's back.

"How embarrassing!" Sylph felt that she had been scolded by Kurara immediately, and she didn't dare to talk back.

Kurara gently patted Sylph's back, her expression seemingly unconcerned: "But even if the two of you manage to snatch Lorenve away from me, how will you divide it?"

"It's not about dividing, hehehehe, Kurara, why are you walking so quietly today?" Sylph awkwardly changed the subject.

Sylph wasn't originally like this, but after losing her memory, she lacked a sense of security and feared that Sylph would monopolize Lorenvie. She no longer hoped to possess her; she only hoped that Lorenvie wouldn't take her away.
