Life with Lisidorwei should be happy.

Doro lay on the stone by the white riverbank, where he and Mohe often fished, enjoying the gentle and warm sunlight on his body.

The sunlight inside the mansion was also quite warm, but when enjoying it like this, knowing it was Charlette's arm, always made him feel slightly uncomfortable. So Doro came to this place to bask in the sun.

If you ask about his deep thoughts after marrying Lisidorwei... it would be that, this time, he truly realized that he is a "human." A plain and ordinary "human." A Hero? A General of the Demon King's army? Apart from those identities, what kind of being is he, what does he need to do, and what does he have to face?

He genuinely felt the relationship between him and Lisidorwei changing, just as he initially said, Lisidorwei doesn't truly love him, and he doesn't truly love Lisidorwei either.

But something was quietly changing.

He knew Mohe was happy to see this change because, in a way, Lisidorwei's life was entirely under Mohe's control; controlling Lisidorwei was equivalent to controlling himself, but perhaps there's nothing wrong with that.

In the nearly year that passed, he had become acutely aware that when facing the Demon King, you often only have the options of being "wilfully controlled" or "thinking you've resisted but are actually controlled." In the end, every outcome the Demon King foresaw, she was always fully prepared for.

Butuo City had already proven everything.

She had long seen the end of countless choices and clearly knew all the results—there are things in this world that can spy on the future, but they are not necessarily accurate. However, perhaps the Demon King Mohe is the source of those so-called prophetic abilities.

Therefore, Doro truly had no intention of resisting Mohe, as it seemed meaningless. Rather, keeping a slight distance from Mohe made both her reassured and him at ease.

In fact, what happened in Butuo City held the greatest significance for Doro: it was that he indeed trusted Mohe more, not in the sense that "the Demon King wouldn't use me to achieve her ends," but rather Doro was assured that Mohe indeed treats this world as her personal property, and she surprisingly cherishes her own treasure.

In other words, she wouldn't easily destroy her own property unless something made her think it necessary or "worth it."

This was already enough.

For the current Doro, this was entirely sufficient.

Mohe, towards ordinary people, those weak existences, even held some kindness; she didn't even plan to play tricks on ordinary people, probably because she felt it wasn't worth the effort. But that's the best outcome.

With this foundation of trust, Doro didn't intend to comment on Mohe's actions. Mohe would surely meddle in the war of the Ice and Snow Kingdom, but the outcome she wished to achieve—would likely not be too bad. After all, even if she wanted to torment people, it should only be those few strongest ones.

Of course, it's not that the strongest deserve to be tormented, it's just that those on that battlefield had likely already prepared themselves.

But... his heart couldn't quiet down.

Even though the sun was shining now, even though the breeze was gentle now, even though he should be very calm now.

But the unrest persisted within his heart, always feeling like he had to do something. What did he want to do?

The Snow Elf, Elf, during his days of wandering, he always spoke of it. It's not so much that he harbored any special feelings for Elf, but during that time, the so-called "innocent ones" probably referred to Elf. She returned to the Northern Lands with the Snow Elves, which was something Doro knew.

Many things have different feelings because of comparison. Compared to the other team members, Elf was much more pure, but does that constitute a reason to act? At most, it constitutes a reason not to act.

But...

He placed a hand on his chest, but why was he so restless, wanting to do something? Was this his old Hero's feelings acting up? But he was no longer that, and even as a Hero, the matter of war was hard to claim as just in the first place. The friendship he shared with Elf in the past, the time spent together, couldn't be his reason to involve himself in the war.

"Doro."

Lisidorwei came here.

"Didn't Lord Mohe come fishing with you?"

"She never quite manages to catch fish. Recently when I went fishing with her, she said she was busy. I saw her seemingly very free. She's just afraid of being mocked by me for not catching fish; that's how she is."

Lisidorwei smiled faintly, "I've already picked out a house, right near the market. The price offered was quite favorable, although the market in town isn't big, it's fairly convenient. What I'm more worried about is if in the future... the child needs education..."

She and Doro couldn't let their child go without formal education, but even in a town like this, even in Sim City, education was a luxury. Naturally, parents already have the duty of being teachers to their children, but the teaching is rather limited, and Lisidorwei and Doro aren't incapable of using magic to directly impart knowledge...
