Chapter 148 Doro's Due_2
Doro felt an overwhelming sense of shame, not knowing what he should have done yesterday.
"Was it you who encouraged her?"
"What are you talking about? Although the Wise King did tell me about undertaking something significant, I never imagined that this so-called significant thing was this... I thought the great Wise King would have a more far-reaching plan, but in the end, isn't this the most despicable, the lowest means? It's truly shameful."
Was she really talking about the Wise King and not herself?
Doro asked with a sarcastic smile, "Do you know why she wants to do this?"
"She wants the Seed of Curse." Mohe did not hide this at all. "If she could bear your child, she wanted me to give her the Seed of Curse. She said that the things she couldn't achieve, she hoped her child could. I think she might not want Princess Lu Lu'an to reach our level and take the position of the only King. She wants her child to achieve this."
"Boguke..."
Doro called out the Wise King's name, "Does she love power that much, obsessed with power?"
Mohe looked at Doro in surprise, "What do you mean... Are you under the illusion that she might actually like you? What gave you this wrong impression? The ones who truly like you are those women, aren't they? Lisidorwei, Rose, Ah Xion, not to mention your original team... I don't have that kind of feeling for you, so why would you think that the Wise King did such things to you and involved other girls because she likes you? You should have known her motive wasn't pure last night. I've told you about these things before."
While at Mohe's residence, as the host Mohe and servant Doro, Mohe once told Doro all sorts of things. Back then, although Mohe kept talking about wanting Doro to fall, to make deals with her, to drag Doro into an inescapable abyss... Doro indeed maintained a high degree of vigilance towards Mohe at the time. He seriously considered every word Mohe said, contemplating whether there were any traps Mohe laid. But now, it seems that perhaps...
This might not have been Mohe's intention.
For the Doro of that time, it seemed that what Mohe said was not important. What mattered was that Mohe was making him think constantly, and once a person starts thinking continuously, they can distance themselves from a state of decadence, and only through such contemplation and choices, could he step by step reach the position of the only King.
So, what did Mohe think of him back then?
Was she merely trying to buy time to recover to her peak state and then have a decisive battle with him? Was it because he won that battle that he was unaware of Mohe's true feelings? If he had lost that fight, would he have been able to see Mohe's real thoughts? Would he have heard some different words from Mohe?
Such thoughts flashed through Doro's mind, "So, according to your theory, my children will fight against each other in the future?"
"It's a certain outcome, my dear only King, unless you never step down from your position. If you wish to become the eternal Emperor." Mohe wore a smile on her face, clearly a look of watching a joke, "The factions are already beginning to form. The girls who found you together last night can be considered the Wise King Faction, among others, we can also make some distinctions; Charlette and Adeline formed the Alchemy Divine Art Faction, Ah Xion and the Nature Ranger, the Dwarf King and Duke Regulus, and even my existence... Mr. Doro, different people's factions will choose different heirs, as long as it's a living being, they will have different opinions on different people, just as you can't like Lisidorwei the way you like me, different people choose different heirs."
She communicated with Doro so simply, "Even if you only have Lu Lu'an as a child in the future, she will still have conflicts with you because you are the only King. And you are kind and benevolent. You should understand the weight of the word 'only' deeply."
It felt like returning to the days in the residence, with Mohe always in control of everything.
Then Doro asked, "So, is this the foreshadowing you left when creating this crown?"
"The conflicts of eternal life forms are conducted in units of at least a century, Mr. Doro. Our struggles will continue for a long time, though you are a bit detached now. However, if you relax your vigilance, it'd be terrible~"
Doro grabbed Mohe by the neck, his rough fingers brushed over her smooth neck.
"Then, what do you think I should do?"
"Teach your children well~ Guide them onto the path you think is right, though I feel you don't have that talent, besides, as the only King, do you really have the time to teach your children properly? Of course, you can entrust them to others, but others naturally have their standings~ This is my deliberate scheme! Mr. Doro!"
Someone like Doro, the more he properly guides his children, the closer he becomes with his children, and the closer they are, the more pain he'll feel when they begin to slaughter each other. But can he neglect this? He surely has to manage it.
In the current situation, it's nearly impractical to defeat Doro purely through violence, so while Mohe studies "self," she also furthers her blows to Doro. She feels it's a very good thing. The world is currently very peaceful— but the world won't always remain so. Mohe knows this well, so she won't rush things.
She was tossed onto the bed by Doro.
"Ah~ I just tidied the bed..."
"You can tidy up again later."
"You really are a tyrant."
...
"So you're saying... you got pregnant in one try?" Mohe looked at the Wise King in surprise.
The Wise King, speechless, touched her own abdomen, "You say one try? Do you know how many times... it happened last night!? I still have illusions to this moment!"
Mohe nodded in understanding, "I can understand; after all, I also got educated for provoking the only King. Our great only King indeed shows no mercy in his actions. Well, like I said, since you've fulfilled your promise, I'll also give you the Seed of Curse."
A black seed appeared in Mohe's hand, "If you want to use it yourself, I don't mind at all, but when your child's life comes to an end, I'll come to reclaim this seed—you'd better pray that your child can reach that realm."
"My child definitely will."
Mohe went on to check the other girls' states, finding none of them conceived, so did the Wise King use some rather sneaky means?
She ended up in Rose's room.
"I couldn't understand why you cooperated with the Wise King."
Rose smiled, "What's wrong with that? I've always wanted to do this anyway, and the Wise King had that plan, so..."
"Don't you feel ashamed? After all, you were the Second Hero once."
"That was my past error and shame—I won't forget those memories, but precisely because they exist, I can feel the happiness Doro now has. He has completely gained the happiness he should have, having defeated the Demon King, restoring peace to the world, as the only King, defeating you once again, maintaining peace in the world. It is an achievement he deserves, a happiness he should have. We once took away that kind of life, so this is the redemption we should have. He's happy, and so am I."
"I see, so you also have such thoughts! Alright, I understand."
