"I am thinking about our relationship and want to ask how you view our relationship."

Feiker honestly said, "From my memory, you could be my guide, Saintess Charlette, or perhaps my creator, my mother—but you might not think so. Since we are going to the Celestial Realm together, I want to confirm how you view me so that we can define our relationship without holding back."

Charlette stomped her foot, "Didn't you already know the purpose of our creation for you?"

"Replacing someone as great as Doro is not something I can do, although I've tried. In this aspect, I still cannot meet everyone's expectations. And as the past me died and was reborn into this body, I think I should rediscover myself."

Charlette turned around, looking at the so-called female version of A·Gedora in front of her. A trace of self-mockery appeared on her face: "Rediscovering oneself... you are right."

"Our expectations of you were presumptuous—Adriana and Hidden Nephilim were right. From the start, they knew you couldn't replace Doro. Only Adeline and I sincerely hoped you could become the real him. But the moment you were born, we knew you would never be him. If I ever had a momentary love for you, it vanished the moment you opened your eyes. So, we presumed expectations and were presumptuously disappointed."

Her spine seemed slightly bent, "I had the church expel me, removed from my position as Saintess, not because I had chosen my path, nor because I decided to devour the Goddess or something like that... maybe in part, but the real reason is I couldn't bear this mission."

"I once thought I had the obligation, the ability, the responsibility to guide the world's progress, to guide humanity's growth, but I was wrong—I always thought of myself as too noble, too grand, endlessly giving selfish and dark thoughts grand reasons. The Hero who reaches the realm of the Demon King will certainly destroy the world, and humanity cannot progress without removing A·Gedora. How can such a person be called a Saintess?"

Feiker listened to these words, "So, are you going to the Celestial Realm this time for?"

"If God is really dead, then I will also die there—just right, let me ask you one thing, Feiker. If you think of me, even for a moment, as your mother, like a child treating their mother, bury me in the Celestial Realm. I want to endlessly repent to the Goddess there for what I've done. I failed God's trust."

The so-called power to devour the Goddess is false.

"If Mr. Doro—"

"He knows it."

Charlette just said, "He probably knew a long time ago that I no longer have the will to fight. I no longer have the courage to struggle against him, challenge him. He is just... as merciful and kind as ever, planning to fulfill my wishes."

"How sad this is!"

"Indeed! Being treated so gently by someone you've always targeted, someone you wanted to kill, makes you feel so ridiculous, insignificant, ugly, despicable—even unworthy of shedding tears."

She turned around and walked forward silently.

Feiker did not follow.

She knew this woman had already begun to "extinguish."

Completely different from the girl in her memory—but this has little to do with her, just like she said to Charlette, she just wanted to avoid any issues arising from their relationship during the journey to the Celestial Realm, which might make the trip unviable... hearing these words from Charlette was enough.

...

Mohe was still making wine continuously; her estate and grapes were good and well-preserved. Of course, her daily activity range was now the "Palace of the Sole King." However, she set up a Teleportation Array, allowing her to return to the estate in Baixi Town anytime. Initially, she thought Doro would have her take out the things in the treasury, but it seems Doro isn't interested in those things... Doro has a lot of time; he can slowly study various things in the future, which is inevitable.

She felt at peace working in the mansion.

The relationship between her and Doro still had no clear definition. Doro only said she was his possession.

Is this really the attitude humans have towards someone they like?

In Mohe's impression, humans are sometimes very strange. When facing someone they like, people are often irrational—they will unconditionally believe what the person they like says and do what they ask. But Doro is obviously not like this. When looking at her in bed, his eyes are so affectionate, but after getting dressed, his expression turns cold.

Always on guard against her.

Could it be that his liking was only for her body?

The girl stood before the floor mirror, looking at her reflection.

Black long hair, black pupils, a slender figure, paired with a somewhat revealing maid outfit.

Her body changed again into a grown figure, causing the maid outfit to stretch as if it would burst into pieces—but she used good quality fabric, so that wouldn't happen, and her black pupils turned to gold and silver... she personally preferred this image.

However, Doro seems not to do anything with this image of her... clearly, the first time it was this...

She reverted to her previous appearance.

Like, dislike...

She didn't really understand this emotion.

Over the long years, she liked many things; she liked magic and studied it for nearly a thousand years, pushing it to an unprecedented level, the very things the Elf Queen once attempted to steal. She also liked singing and created the Celestial Scale alchemy item, transforming into a Minstrel, traveling the world for hundreds of years, her footprints covering the world, she also liked...

She liked many things, and for a time, she had a great relationship with the Goddess, regarding the Goddess as, like herself, the only companion in her eternal life—the only partner in her eternal life. However, facts proved, they simply grew further apart, each seeing the other with aversion, nearly to the point of growing apart—and while they don't age or die in their concepts...

So, does she like Doro?

Probably she likes him a bit. From the moment this person became a Hero, she has been paying attention to him, and that time she just had some expectations, it was only after being defeated by him that she realized profoundly that this was a man she must eternally remember, a man who must engrave his name on her soul.

Subsequent interactions with Doro allowed her to understand him better. She never paid so much attention to any individual other than the Goddess.

Does this affection count as liking?

So, is her affection and Doro's affection, Doro's so-called liking, the same kind of emotion?

Mohe thought it probably wasn't.

Doro's look at her and her look at Doro's eyes are certainly not the same.

So, is Doro's kind of feeling the so-called "love"?

What's different between this love and liking?

How long can this love last? Is it more enduring than liking?
