She spoke from an angle Doro never imagined, saying words without clear meaning, but Doro just looked at her: "That's all you wanted to say? It doesn't mean anything, Adriana. I'm not going to feel happy because of it, nor will I expect things to not have reached this point today. I feel very comfortable now; nothing is more delightful than embracing freedom. Can you understand and feel this kind of carefree spirit, overseeing the world?"

Adriana did not respond to Doro's words: "I often wonder, Doro, if I didn't exist, perhaps that betrayal wouldn't have existed— They relied on me a lot, so when they felt afraid because of your duel with the Demon King, they didn't dare to face you, so they came to ask me, asked my opinion, asked my understanding — they knew my wish was to defeat the Demon King, and I gave an answer at that time, directly leading to that betrayal. So... if we're talking about the cause, it's all my fault."

"What do you mean by this?"

Doro just asked: "Are you taking all the blame on yourself and trying to make me forgive them? Making me hate only you is enough? Adriana, you're as arrogant as ever; you always think you can handle everything well, as if you can make all the members live happily. Do you think that if you say they were influenced by you and I killed you to vent my anger, the others can get along with me like before?"

He stared at Adriana, his gaze carrying enormous weight: "Adriana! Idiotic! Who do you think you are? And who do you think they are? If they truly loved me, if they truly believed in me, they would have questioned you when you proposed such an idea, instead of saying they betrayed me together with you, and now saying it was Adriana's idea. Don't you find this laughable? You're not insulting them; you're insulting me. Do you think I would believe such words?"

Doro is not foolish, or rather, influenced by Mohe. Perhaps he would not have thought so deeply before, but after spending time with Mohe, some changes occurred. After all, Mohe often explains her own reasoning, why she does what she does, and these have subtly influenced Doro to some extent, so he clearly recognizes the one-sidedness of Adriana's words now.

She may not have lied, but that doesn't mean the other girls involved in that betrayal are completely innocent, just under a spell.

Moreover, in the end, what's the point of entangling over that past event?

"Besides, is there anything else you want to say? If not, it's time for you to leave. I'm preparing to rest, and Lisidorwei just arrived, so I need to spend some time with my wife. I don't have the time to chat idly with you."

Adriana realized that Doro is no longer the same as before. He is no longer the man who believed in everyone, giving unconditional trust no matter what was said. The current Doro will make precise judgments on their words.

"The Mage Union will stand by your side," Adriana could only say this, "However, according to the requirements of the Mage Union..."

Adriana stood up, and her clothes naturally fell off: "I should offer myself to please you."

...

Mohe lay on the rocking chair, enjoying the warmth brought by the Artificial Sun, paging through the Holy Record in her hand.

It was quite pleasant.

At first, she felt that in this round of confrontation with Doro, she had no chance of winning, as the Hero symbolized a great name, and the Demon King symbolized terror. However, speaking of reality, the various races and forces are much more realistic than she imagined, making choices between the Demon King and Hero—those standing with Doro were not as many as Mohe imagined, and those defecting to her were much more than expected.

She felt the reason for her misjudgment was a difference in understanding.

But that wasn't very important.

A young girl stood next to her, carrying a pot of cold wine, ready to mix drinks for Mohe at any time.

Mohe nodded with satisfaction: "Wise King, your service is quite good. Speaking of which, after turning into a girl, is there anything you're not used to?"

"I just feel that the act of turning others into girls just because you turned into one is very twisted and meaningless. As your servant, whether it's a man or a woman, there's no difference, right?"

"Is that also what you think?"

Mohe glanced at her sideways: "I'd really like to know, have you communicated with Rose? She's Frodonick — also chosen by you, right?"

"Of course, she's an excellent talent, at least, as the Second Hero, I recognize her."

"In that case, you still created another Hero? Seems like you don't trust our Miss Rose very much."

"Isn't that natural?"

The Wise King seemed not too friendly towards Rose: "Though she's an excellent talent, it was originally I who ordered Ah Xion to eliminate her. Saving her was an unexpected option. As the Second Hero, she's suitable, but as the true Hero, she lacks too much."

Mohe smiled: "Speaking of which, all the major forces have made scattered choices. Next, we will have a great war with Mr. Doro — but, considering Mr. Doro doesn't like war, such a battle should not truly be carried out."

"What do you mean?"

"Mr. Doro and I probably have a tacit understanding about this, so Mr. Doro probably won't strive for that part of the power from the World of the Dead. Just right, I can use some things to let the World of the Dead reflect the real world, and let everyone's reflection replace the body for war... This way, Mr. Doro should be able to accept it."

Mohe didn't care whether the Wise King could understand. She continued: "What I mean is, if I let you be the commander, will you fight your best?"

"What do you think?"

The Wise King was clearly not cooperating: "Why should I help you? Why should I be your commander? You should know, being revived by you was not my wish."

"Of course, you came to die in the first place, and you didn't kill yourself in front of me because you're purely not my opponent. Even if you die, I would revive you, so you don't engage in such futile struggles," Mohe candidly stated, "But Wise King, you should also know, if I want you to be the commander, you have no right to refuse."

"I can make you lose, winning is not easy, but isn't losing just as hard?"

"You're really impervious to everything. How about this, if you win, I'll let you go to Doro's side — if you lose, I'll send you to a brothel, and what happens there, I won't care."

The Wise King's expression wasn't great, but she still gritted her teeth: "Don't you think both choices are terrible?"

"Is that so? I thought you would want to go to Doro's side very much. After all, you'd risk dying to put Doro on the throne of the Human King, what deep love is this? I truly respect and admire your feelings, so how is this not a reward?"

This Demon King, besides being disgusting, could do anything else?

"Who do you think the commander on their side is?"

"Charlette, of course."

Mohe chuckled with malicious interest: "Speaking of which, didn't the two of you have a marriage contract before? Unmarried couples killing each other! Great script!"

She couldn't help but applaud: "It's decided, no objections allowed."
