Ark, they don't revolve around you

The antidote developed by Zhuang Ning can only objectively prolong his life but cannot cure it.

As long as the crown remains in her hands, Amiya's condition will remain.

Originium is her pain and also her strength. Zhuang Ning put his hand on Amiya's head. He felt that he had a heart of stone, but he still looked at Amiya as his own daughter.

Before Precious awakened, it seemed that most people left him, and only the little girl on Rhodes Island would quietly wait for him.

Although they are a little neurotic sometimes, overall, this is a rare...family, right?

Zhuang Ning had a chance to avert the tragedy and didn't have to let Amiya fall into this situation.

"Doctor, I sense your mood. Are you feeling guilty?"

Amiya shook her head. "I'm fine now, really. I can get out of bed now. Your Highness... No, I should call you Your Majesty now, right? Anyway, Your Majesty Theresa treats me very well!"

"I believe it." Zhuang Ning nodded quietly, but did not go into the topic further.

Amiya's eyes were filled with sadness. The Demon King's ability to perceive emotions was an extremely incredible ability, and he couldn't fake his emotions at all.

“Actually, I guessed it.” Amiya lowered her head. “It will probably be difficult for me to leave Kazdel, right?”

"..."

"But even so, it's not your fault, Doctor. I took the crown on my own initiative, and no one oppressed me!"

"No." Zhuang Ning sneered, but his hands were clenched.

This was a matter of course, but he never thought there was anything wrong with it before: "But you are still a child, you are a minor, do you understand?! Do you know that children objectively have no right to decide their own future, because you didn't understand what you were facing at the time?!"

"PhD……"

"I'm not angry, not angry." Zhuang Ning waved his hand, "Anyway, Amiya."

"What if I told you I wanted to take your crown?"

"Hmm?" Amiya tilted her head.

"You don't have to bear the future of the Sarkaz, right?" Zhuang Ning smiled, "Once I take the black crown off your hand, I will be able to cure your mineral disease."

"Then you will be free, and I can send you to Leitania. After all, you like the violin very much."

"It's okay if you want to go somewhere else. The whole world will open its arms to you. No one has the right to stop you. We can eat hot pot and sing songs!"

"Really?" Amiya laughed softly as if she had thought of this scene.

"Of course it's true. Wait until I find a way to peel off the crown." Zhuang Ning could see that the little rabbit was already sleepy.

Amiya smiled vaguely: "Then I can go see you all on Rhodes Island."

"Not only that, one day, I will return home and you can come and see my home," Zhuang Ning added.

He thought that he would not be the only one who could go back, right? He had spent his whole life fighting, not to mention enjoying himself, and continued to play music and dance. It shouldn't be a problem to take a few more people away, right?

At least that's what Zhuang Ning agreed with Precious.

He still believed that Precious was still alive, and that oath was not false.

Perhaps just like himself, Precious was also buried deep underground.

By then, I hope she won't mind Amiya.

It shouldn't happen. Amiya is such a good child. Even Precious, who looks kind but is a little dark inside, wouldn't come after Amiya, right?

Zhuang Ning quickly gathered his divergent thoughts and secretly warned himself.

Opening champagne at halftime is a big taboo. It is ridiculous to think about the future without any clue about it.

But his motivation to conquer Terra was increased.

"I've always wanted to visit the Doctor's hometown." Amiya's voice was a little reluctant, and her eyelids closed slightly. "Doctor, I'm sorry, I'm a little sleepy."

"…Then go to sleep and don't have nightmares."

"No way." Amiya raised the corner of her mouth, "As expected, Doctor, you haven't changed. Doctor, you are the best."

She fell asleep with a smile on her face.

Zhuang Ning kissed her forehead gently, held the girl's hand, and thought to himself, if Amiya could always be with him, would he still be such a cold person?

Maybe it still will.

Maybe this is my nature.

After some time passed, Zhuang Ning finally stood up after confirming that Amiya had not woken up.

Next, it’s time to go and meet that prince.

……

……

The sound of destruction continued to echo, and Theresa realized that she was dreaming.

This happened a long time ago.

But that's not true, she lived a long time, and this was just a few years ago.

The alarm continued to sound, and a traitor appeared in the Tower of Babel, paralyzing the landship's progress.

In the closed room, Theresa seemed to have expected it and slowly put the ring on Amiya's finger.

The girl didn't realize what was happening yet, but the ritual of the Demon King's inheritance could not be stopped.

Theresa picked up Amiya and kissed her forehead with an extremely sad tone: "I'm sorry, Amiya."

"Perhaps I shouldn't let you bear such a sin. I'm sorry..."

There were footsteps behind her, and Kal'tsit nervously took Amiya from Theresa's hands.

The man in front of him was no longer the Demon King of the Court of Kings of Kazdel, but just any other Sarkaz demon in this land.

"Take Amiya away, Kal'tsit, don't let her catch up. Amiya is now the new Demon King."

"What about you?"

"I'm going to find the doctor. With his proud character, he will definitely not be able to accept that he didn't realize the betrayal."

Kelsey frowned: "Doctor, he..."

Theresa interrupted the woman and said, "Ascalon, protect Kal'tsit and the next Demon King. Amiya may be the key to the redemption of the entire Sarkaz."

After a moment, a low sound echoed in the space.

"it is good."

Kal'tsit helplessly looked down at Amiya who was still sleeping, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "I will come to find you, Theresa."

"Goodbye." Theresa's smile was a little forced.

She walked towards the center of the battle, where countless corpses fell in the chaos.

The same clan kills each other and the same family fights against each other.

Power has no family affection, and for the sake of a greater ideal, everything can be taken away.

Standing on the corpse, the doctor took off his mask.

He looked calm, not as if he was particularly angry, but rather as if it was the calm before a storm.

"I need an explanation."

"There's a traitor among us." Theresa lowered her head like a child who had made a mistake.

"Traitor, what a traitor... Theresa, we have never lacked traitors. What I want to ask is, how rebellious a traitor must be to be able to kill his way into your throne!"

"I……"

"This is your fault, and your second mistake is to come to me. You should leave immediately. As long as you don't die, there is still hope." Zhuang Ning said coldly.

"No." Theresa shook her head. "We have been fighting for too long. It is time to end this war."

"It's over!? This is a war started by you and your sister! I helped you to tip the scales, and now you tell me it's over?!" Zhuang Ning's eyes were cold.

He once looked at Theresa with a bit of respect and would call her "Your Highness", but now he is filled with only rage.

But Theresa didn't mind. She walked in slowly and hugged the doctor.

"you are tired."

"...What exactly do you want to do?" Zhuang Ning let out a breath tiredly.

"I wish you could kill me and put an end to this."

Before she finished her words, Zhuang Ning had already grabbed Theresa's neck.

He continued to exert force on his wrist, but Theresa remained calm: "This won't kill me, Doctor."

"Shut up." Zhuang Ning was almost laughing out of anger. "Let me ask you, Theresa, who am I?"

"You are the commander I trust most."

"No, I'm your tool." Zhuang Ning said coldly, "I don't mind other people looking down on me. Really, I don't mind."

"You too, Theresa. I did have some illusions about you, thinking you understood me."

"But I was wrong. Aren't you the one who created this evil spirit of mine? You hold my memories in your hands, which are my most precious things. So I have to work for you."

"I will do the dirty work you don't like, and I will do the slaughter you don't want to do."

"I don't mind, really, but what makes you say you trust me? I'm willing to be your white glove, and you're still meddling in my affairs!"

Theresa remained calm as she listened to his words, but the guilt in her eyes grew stronger.

Zhuang Ning looked fierce: "Where is Amiya? What did you do to Amiya?"

"I gave her the crown."

"You gave the crown to Amiya?!" Zhuang Ning gritted his teeth, "You lunatic, you put the pressure of the Sarkaz on Amiya!"

"Yes." Theresa nodded, "For the continuation of civilization."

She waved away Zhuang Ning's hand and gently stroked the doctor's cheek.

"I'm sorry, I did take advantage of you."

"Not only that, the destruction of the Tower of Babel is also inevitable because I was wrong." Theresa hugged the doctor, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!"

"Don't apologize anymore, you...you, you just want to tie me to your warship." Zhuang Ning's voice was hoarse, "But I'm going to clear the obstacles for you. As long as I'm here, you can get rid of Wang Ting one by one. Why are you..."
