“Easy to say. If I could open my heart to you, I would even pull out my heart to prove my sincerity.”
Though a bit exaggerated and false, the Big Guy falls for this every time.
Whoosh—Finally, Emil released her clenched fist.
At the same time, she could see that the Actor, Trainer, and Mage’s experience points each increased by 50 points.
Erika and Emil sat side by side on the roof railing. Looking down from a high vantage point at the Ark’s scenery, the distant red sunset slowly sank between the clouds—a quite charming view. If only she could quietly enjoy the scenery, but her eyes were busy catching Emil’s rapidly changing expressions, leaving no time for the view.
“So, that proposal thing was actually a misunderstanding by Miona, right?”
“Yes, it was just her one-sided misunderstanding, and then it turned into a rumor.”
Erika revealed some truth to Emil. “I never expected to expose this matter in front of everyone. The pursuit of Miona actually stemmed from a misunderstanding caused by Miona’s Twin Symptoms.”
But unexpectedly, the situation brought by this misunderstanding seemed to help her a lot, so she didn’t specifically clarify.
Hearing this, Emil, who had been sulking just now, now giggled as if nothing happened.
“Miona, that silly girl, still thinks everyone has to like her. I want to quickly tell her the truth and see her face turn red and distort.”
“No, that’s a bit…”
“If that happens, this time it won’t be Emil, but Miona coming to settle scores, and she might really die.”
“You pursued me as a lie? Die to apologize!”
As if she really saw the future.
I am an Investigator of Noelle. I need to better utilize the current situation. The Draco family seems to have something hidden.
Erika nodded in response to Emil’s question. “About the Demon King’s bloodline?”
“Yes, if we reveal the truth now, the Draco family, which just started cooperating, might sever ties again. That would increase the difficulty of proving Lady Emil and the Lyonesse family’s innocence.”
“Innocence?”
Emil let out a contemptuous snort. “Innocence? I have nothing to do with the Demon King’s bloodline. Who cares to prove innocence?”
“No connection? Isn’t it right beside you now?”
In fact, a very unhealthy relationship has already occurred.
Emil absolutely did not notice that the flirty girl she wanted to slap to death just now was actually that quietly spreading evil descendant.
Thinking of this suddenly felt a bit amusing. Just as Emil wished to mock Miona, Erika was also curious about what kind of expression Emil would show when she revealed the truth, saying, “Look, I am actually Noelle.”
But—but now is not the time.
When Emil gives birth to about five little Noelles—then she’ll tell her using her tail.
When there’s no turning back, revealing the truth is the Noelle family’s revenge. So Erika pretended to be calm, hiding all emotions.
“Although Lady Emil may have nothing to do with this matter, your father Duke Leonardo and the former head of the Draco family, Duke Arest, they have a close connection with the last descendant of Noelle. That point is undeniable.”
Emil couldn’t deny this either. She seemed to fall into brief contemplation, then slowly expressed her opinion.
“My father would never consider rebellion. Do you know how much blood our family shed to push Kalista onto the throne?”
“I know. From Lady Emil’s grandfather, the Golden Knight Derek, to his sons—Hoban, Darkhan, Gorseus Liones—they all died on the battlefield fighting against Noelle’s remnants.”
Hearing the girl’s words, Emil lowered her head slightly and looked at her, as if saying, ‘You’re pretty good at history.’
“For the throne of Kalista, we have sacrificed too much. Things are fine now, so why would we destroy it all with our own hands?”
It was precisely because of this that Erika was even more puzzled. The Lyonesse family is the most solid shield and sharpest spear of the Kalista Royal Family. Why would Leonardo hide the fact that Noelle’s descendant is still alive?
To be honest, Erika really wanted to immediately return to the Noelle capital, Monak City, and go to the court to question him in person. Although she had sent a carrier pigeon, it was still unknown whether that man would answer truthfully.
Rustle Emil stood up from her seat, gently leaning on the railing, gazing at the distant setting sun.
With a gentle breeze, Emil’s golden hair tied behind her head scattered like golden threads in the wind. In the crimson afterglow, she spoke in a firm and clear tone.
“My father and I are innocent. Evelyn must know this. Erika Angelina, no matter what happens, you must stand by my side and prove my innocence, okay?”
Rustle Erika also stood up and walked to Emil’s side.
“It should be so, but…”
“But what?”
Erika was thinking: if Lady Emil, or the Lyonesse family, was actually sheltering the Demon King’s descendant, what would you do? She was wondering what Emil would do when she learned the truth… and when she realized she had been deceived. So she couldn’t help asking out of curiosity.
“Erika, do you think that’s possible? Absolutely impossible.”
Emil turned around, back to the dusk. Thinking about what emotions would dye that confident face, Erika couldn’t help feeling a bit expectant.
“I’m hungry. Let’s go eat now. Miona, because of that self-righteous idiot, I got angry for nothing… Actually, I didn’t believe it when I heard you actually left me to pursue someone else.”
“Didn’t believe what?”
“Don’t spread such rumors in the future, and be colder to other women, got it? Of course, men too. Don’t just smile casually.”
Be colder? Why does Emil suddenly want to restrain her, like a jealous, possessive lover restricting each other?
Emil stretched, letting out a long “Mm~” sound. Not only that, she also straightened her long legs and did stretching exercises, showing off her graceful curves. For some reason, Erika felt a bit moved.
So she gently grabbed Emil’s sleeve as she was about to leave the rooftop. Rustle Emil suddenly stopped.
Here, a mention is needed: Erika’s [Fairy’s Touch] still has some abilities yet to be revealed. Although Erika herself knows it well, she never mentioned it because it’s too embarrassing.
She doesn’t even want to recall.
“Lady Emil, you are beautiful.”
“Sweet talk won’t forgive you.”
As if remembering something, Erika was silent for a moment. A bold idea quickly formed in her mind. At that moment, calm thinking rapidly wove a seemingly feasible plan.
At least, it should be useful for the current complex situation.
[Fairy’s Touch] can forcibly combine two egg cells, forming an embryo through a non-conventional fertilization method. In simple terms…
The flushed and panting Emil…
Erika leaned close to her ear and whispered.
“I’ll give you a child.”
Emil’s eyes widened, completely incredulous, as if asking, ‘What are you talking about?’
But Erika didn’t explain. Since this is a powerful ability that can break the famous saying ‘Eternal love is great, but can’t give birth’, its wonder speaks for itself.
Erika could even control in whose body the fetus would develop. However, there’s a catch: this magic, after rubbing biology into the ground, gives it a little respect.
That is because the chromosomes can only be XX, so the offspring can only be female.
Respect, but not much.
Erika vaguely felt she had grasped some clue, but couldn’t clear her thoughts immediately.
“Wha… what?”
This murmur brought Erika back to reality. Seeing Emil’s dazed look, Erika decided not to worry about that anymore.
“I said, I’ll use a child to apologize. My and Lady Emil’s child.”
Jealousy? Lack of security? Then what if she carried the other’s child?
“You know? And I’ll be the one suffering. Don’t be a playgirl, Lady Emil.”
Her eyes narrowed slightly. Erika kissed Emil again, a flash of contemplation in her expression, and a tail slowly extended behind her.
Emil’s expression was confused yet satisfied. She could vaguely feel something, and her hazy eyes occasionally glanced at Erika’s flat belly.
