In order to avenge the Elf, I killed the Elf Queen, even falling into a paranoid madness planning to annihilate the entire Elf Race. If it weren't for the Demon King ordering me to act, perhaps the Elf Race would have already been turned upside down.

Of course, the Queen's death and the disappearance of the Elf Ancient Tree's seedling will deal a massive blow to this race, but—Doro obviously won't care.

Looking beyond the surface to see the essence, this matter isn't the most important. The most important thing is Doro's attitude towards this matter.

To him, the Elf is a very important person, so the Elf's opinion holds reference value.

"If you wish to pursue Mr. Doro, can't you just strive to do so?" the Elf asked somewhat puzzled, "Mr. Doro isn't very good at refusing the goodwill of others. If you wish to be closer to him, just try to get close, right? There shouldn't be anything that needs referencing, should there?"

Rose showed a wry smile, "I'm a bit different from you. I've done some wrong things in the past, and perhaps Doro wouldn't forgive me."

"Done some wrong things..."

The Elf had some sense of the matter: "But I heard that when you were in the Elf Kingdom, you had a further relationship with him. I think, that's the reason he doesn't reject you."

"But, but that was because of Mohe's potion."

Seeing Rose like this, the Elf couldn't help but laugh, winking playfully: "To be honest, I tried to seduce Mr. Doro before. Although thinking back now, using a body that was undead to seduce Doro was truly a terrible thing—but that has nothing to do with the present. The important thing is, Miss Rose, Doro rejected me."

What?

Did that really happen?

Rose truly wasn't clear about Rose and Doro's matters in the Ice and Snow Kingdom. She certainly knew the reasons for Doro's madness, but regarding the seduction part, she hadn't heard about it.

"Generally speaking, Miss Rastina was also there with you at that time, right? If Mr. Doro completely lost control, it would be normal for him to act towards Miss Rastina, right? Therefore, I think Mr. Doro probably subconsciously trusts you, which is why he did that to you. You really don't have anything to worry about."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true."

Even though the Elf's words might very likely be subjective assumptions, as Rose, she really didn't want to follow such advice, but she still silently noted down the other's words. After all, even if it was just to comfort herself, it was a very good outcome.

"But speaking of which, since you once tempted Doro, why not do it now? At that time, you were undead, and now you've been resurrected?"

The Elf smiled a little shyly: "Well, it's a different concept... Back then, I was undead, wanting to stay with him was something akin to an obsession. I knew I wouldn't last long before dissipating. In fact, if not for Miss Mohe being there, I fear I'd have returned to the embrace of the gods long ago—being resurrected is different now. I'm a living person, so... so I can't be that eager... It's a bit too embarrassing."

She really is quite innocent.

At least that's what Rose thinks.

The girl named Elf, compared to someone like herself, seems to be a bit too adorable.

No matter how much she says it was the Demon King's creation, a work of the Charming Demon, all she can do is try to allure Doro, never able to smile with such innocent purity as the Elf, a smile seemingly capable of washing away one's inner turmoil—even if it were to make her do the same thing, probably it wouldn't warm anyone.

She ought to fulfill her role as a maid properly.

"So, if I were to compete with Lisidorwei for a man, would you support me?"

"Of course!"

The Elf immediately agreed.

"Eh? You... Do you know what I'm talking about? Would you even agree to such a thing?"

"Of course! Why wouldn't I? Miss Rose, I just drank your tea, ate your cookies! From such things, I felt your sincerity, I know the fire in your heart, so I will support you!"

Eating my cookies means you have to support me?

Is that your condition for support?

Of course, being able to get her support is definitely a satisfying thing. But specifically speaking, how should it be done?

The Elf seems really enthusiastic about it.

"According to our Snow Elf tradition, if there is someone we like and there's competition, we directly challenge the opponent to a duel, and winning will do! Winning over Doro isn't realistic, but winning against Miss Lisidorwei shouldn't be too difficult."

Not too difficult?

Rose wasn't oblivious to Lisidorwei and Adeline's combat, although it seemed Adeline held a significant advantage, but speaking of which—it's not like defeating Adeline guarantees one can defeat her.

The Charming Demon's strength isn't weak, having both Orc form and Dragon form—but in a real fight against Blood Ancestor Lisidorwei, does that mean... with just a small wound, she could finish me off in an instant?

It shouldn't be to such an abnormal extent, right?

"Even if I win, it's difficult to get accepted, right? Ultimately, it's still a matter of Doro's wishes, she's already married to Doro, and even if I win, it would just mean joining them at most."

"You still want to monopolize?"

The Elf looked at Rose with an exaggerated expression: "If it were other men, that's one thing, but Mr. Doro, you want him to be an ordinary person? He is destined to be brilliant and dazzling, so it's normal to have other girls around him, right? If you want to keep him to yourself, I won't assist you any further."

"I'm not trying to imply that... What I mean is... ah, never mind. If we resolve Doro's ownership through a duel, wouldn't that mean anyone can participate? Then Ah Xion would become a dangerous topic?"

The Elf furrowed her brow: "Miss Ah Xion is indeed a rival we have to consider. If confronted with her, I have no confidence in defeating her."

The two continued to discuss.

...

"Wow~ This is the house you have your eyes on! Apart from anything else, although the things inside are somewhat old-fashioned, the quality and style are quite good, enough for you to live an abundant life." Mohe cheerfully wandered around the mansion.

Doro and Lisidorwei could only exchange a glance and follow the Demon King as she circled around the house.

"How much are you planning to offer? A house like this is quite expensive, but it's bearable. However, you're currently in a situation of making ends meet, aren't you... I think I can support you with some wealth. Do you need it?"

Doro and Lisidorwei hurriedly refused.

They didn't want the house to be too involved with Mohe.

Mohe seemed as though she hadn't noticed their circumstances at all, even rolling on the bed a couple of times. Then, as she prepared to leave, she finally once again looked at Doro.

"But, it's still advice~ Mr. Doro, how exactly do you view Rose? Some things simply avoiding doesn't make any sense~ You should know, avoiding doesn't solve any problem, just like the things you've been through in the past."
