Chapter 379 : Felyn, You're Not Dead Yet. Go On, It's Just Six Young Ladies.
"Zervanie, why don't you take Olivia out for a walk."
Felyn said to Zervanie beside him while ruffling Olivia's hair.
"Hm? Now?"
"Yeah."
Olivia was a little dissatisfied with Felyn's arrangement. She pouted her rosy lower lip and looked up at Felyn with pleading eyes.
But she didn't say anything, slowly releasing her hand that was pinching Felyn's sleeve.
"Miss Olivia, shall I push you outside?"
Zervanie bent down, her hands on her knees, bringing her line of sight level with Olivia in the wheelchair.
The makeup from her performance earlier hadn't been removed yet, and the glitter at the corners of her eyes was the only active light in the room.
It was also Olivia's first time being so close to Zervanie. Even she couldn't help but marvel at how someone could be so beautiful.
An energetic and vibrant young girl. That's what anyone would think upon seeing Zervanie.
"Is there anywhere you'd like to go? There's a small fountain nearby, shall we go take a look?"
"Okay. Are there many people around?"
"Not at all, not at all. I can't go to crowded places either..."
Aurelian watched as Zervanie took the Heretical God away from him, his heart hesitating nonstop.
If he let Zervanie take her away, the Heretical God would become uncontrollable.
But...
But Olivia seemed to be special; she didn't seem like a true Heretical God.
What kind of Heretical God would fall in love with someone?
Heretical Gods were skilled at deception, but they would never show the kind of expression Olivia had just now.
As the door closed, the smile on Felyn's face slowly faded.
But before he could speak, Aurelian's eager voice came from behind him.
"Felyn, have you done it with the Demon King's daughter?"
"Huh?"
"There's highly concentrated demonic power remaining on your hand. That's something only the Demon King or his daughter can possess."
The Demon King naturally couldn't be here.
So it had to be the Demon King's daughter.
Such a high concentration meant the two must have engaged in some sort of intense... contact.
After experiencing such intense contact, Felyn could still appear before him as if nothing had happened.
Felyn was not a hero. If the intense contact with the Demon King's daughter had been a battle, he wouldn't have survived.
Therefore, there was only one answer.
Felyn's relationship with the Demon King's daughter was already good enough to allow for that kind of intense contact.
"The Demon King's daughter must have already chosen you as her partner in the human world, right? Has the princess's plan already begun?"
Daiyi had also told her father about Dorothy's plan.
She wrote in her letter that the appearance of the Demon King's daughter would affect the entire situation, and that Her Highness the Princess wanted to find someone to establish a connection with the Demon King's daughter, to make her willing to protect the Sivishus Empire.
Aurelian now guessed that person was likely Felyn.
If Felyn had a connection with the Demon King's daughter, then Daiyi wouldn't have to go back immediately.
At the very least, she wouldn't have to return to the church tonight.
"Don't make it sound so scary, talking about partners. I just accidentally ran into her today, and she was accidentally..." Felyn decided to help Eitani protect her reputation and not mention that she had been hit by a heretical art.
"So, are you on good terms?"
"Our relationship is... I guess it's good?"
Aurelian walked over to the bedside table, gently stroking the freshly bought flowers.
"Daiyi is leaving tonight. Do you know what she's going back for?"
"To inherit the family business?"
"That's not wrong," Aurelian nodded. "But the scope is a little bit bigger."
"A little bit bigger?"
"Yes, she's inheriting the entire Church of Truth."
Felyn looked at Aurelian in disbelief, then glanced at Bernice.
After getting a nod from Bernice, Felyn felt the world had suddenly become incredible.
"Daiyi... is she the Divine Child?"
Countless fragments of past memories began to piece together. Felyn could never have imagined that Daiyi, who loved to play cruel jokes on him, would actually be the Divine Child of the Church of Truth.
Daiyi, who had even worn a maid outfit for him before he left home, was going to return after tonight to inherit the entire Church of Truth and become one of the three most powerful people in the world?
"Yes. If she goes back tonight, she will undergo the Divine Child’s advent ceremony in a few days."
Aurelian walked up to Felyn and patted his shoulder.
"For complicated reasons, I don't wish for her to go back. She doesn't want to go back herself. So, I hope you can establish a connection with the Demon King's daughter."
Even if Felyn signed a contract with the Demon King's daughter, it wouldn't stop the offensive from the surrounding churches.
But it could buy time.
The surrounding churches would spend time figuring out the Demon King's daughter's intentions. During this time, the Church of Truth could select a new Divine Child.
Once a new Divine Child was chosen, it wouldn't matter whether a war broke out or not.
"After the plan is implemented, you will definitely be targeted by other churches, and even by certain people within the Sivishus Empire's royal family. You may be obstructed, or even eliminated."
"I know this is very dangerous, but I can also offer you a high reward. I will help you hide your sister's whereabouts as a Heretical God. At the same time, the Church of Truth will stand behind you and provide necessary assistance."
Aurelian showed a smile identical to Daiyi's, and then said the same words as Daiyi.
"How about it? Even though you're dating my daughter, I'm still encouraging you to get involved with other girls. I'm a good father-in-law, right?"
Felyn finally understood who Daiyi had inherited her wicked personality from.
It was definitely the man in front of him.
"You can choose to refuse. Then Daiyi will go back tonight to inherit the title of Divine Child. The choice is in your hands."
Felyn knew what inheriting the title of Divine Child meant. Eitani's words had already told him that the contamination and the Divine Child's advent ceremony were similar.
For Daiyi, the Divine Child's advent ceremony meant true annihilation.
No wonder Daiyi would say such things, asking him to remember her for ten years.
"Honestly... why make it so melodramatic," Felyn muttered to himself.
Felyn didn't drop to his knees, holding his head and agonizing over whether to save her or not.
That was too wishy-washy.
Besides, Felyn had already mentioned the contract to Eitani. Even if Aurelian hadn't said anything, even if he didn't know about Daiyi's tragic future, he would still sign the contract with Eitani.
He couldn't just lead Eitani on, could he?
...
Felyn and Aurelian walked out of the lounge and leaned against the railing.
The refreshing autumn wind gently caressed Felyn's cheek, feeling very pleasant.
Downstairs, Zervanie and Olivia seemed to be having a great time. The fireworks reflected on the two beautiful girls' faces made them look exceptionally moving.
"She has the aura of a Heretical God, but she is not a Heretical God." Aurelian's gaze fell on Olivia.
"Eitani said she's like a human Divine Child. I'm not too clear on the specifics."
"Eitani?"
"That's the Demon King's daughter."
"You're already on a first-name basis?"
Aurelian didn't know how to get along with this young man beside him.
At such a young age, not only was he entangled with the daughters of the Silafiel and Claude families, but now he was also involved with a Heretical God and the Demon King's daughter.
"Is the first step to conquering the world to first conquer the beautiful young ladies?"
"Don't say such scary things. No one wants to conquer the world." Felyn shrugged, looking at the smiling faces of the two beautiful girls downstairs.
At this moment, Zervanie downstairs also noticed him. She stood up and waved at him.
As Felyn waved back, he listened to Aurelian beside him. "By the way, Felyn, go and tell Daiyi. I need to report this situation to the elders first, and then I need to meet with the King and Silafiel and the others to explain why Daiyi doesn't have to go back."
Aurelian straightened up from the railing. "Daiyi is in the VIP room right now. She should... she should be alone."
Felyn, although I'm very happy that you saved my daughter.
But business is business.
Dating my daughter while being entangled with so many other girls, is that it?!
Then let's just get everyone together and see what's what!
