Chapter 694 : Rescue the Demon King's Daughter! Let's Go!

"You're going to save Eitani?"

After hearing Felyn's words, Seraphina looked at him in her arms.

"Seraphina, can you let me go first?" Felyn whispered. "Speaking of which, was it a bit too impulsive for you to expose yourself like that in front of Dorothy?"

"A little. I couldn't hold it in."

"Couldn't hold what in?"

I couldn't hold it in after seeing Dorothy take off her clothes.

I couldn't hold it in after hearing Dorothy say, "As long as you say you love me, I'm yours tonight."

Seraphina had to admit that she truly saw Felyn as a treasure in a dragon's heart.

Upon seeing a treasure, a dragon can absolutely not control its inner greed.

That intense possessiveness made Seraphina lose her reason and take Felyn away directly.

"The dragon girl got jealous of me." Dorothy walked over, the two of them sandwiching Felyn. "That's why she got angry."

"Does no one else think this position is very strange?"

Felyn felt like he was a child being raised jointly by Seraphina and Dorothy.

"Brother Felyn, just ignore her. I'll take you down to the dungeon to save Eitani. It can also be considered saving the empire."

Making Eitani an ally of the empire was the original intention of this Demon King plan.

It was just that, from the current looks of it, the plan had deviated a bit.

It seemed Eitani was about to become Felyn's personal ally.

"Then I'll go with you too."

"Why?"

"I'm not at ease with Felyn by your side."

Seraphina really wanted to take Felyn away and leave Dorothy here alone.

But if she did that, Dorothy might go and tell on her.

The dragon girl didn't want to expose her identity just yet.

And so, the evil dragon and Her Highness the Princess walked behind Felyn, while Felyn, carrying the Hero's Sword, headed to the dungeon to rescue the Demon King's daughter and seize the "Morning Star."

The second stage of the Hero's Festival was to simulate Princess Lianrora's perilous journey to slay the dragon, which was why they had to seize the "Morning Star."

Now, Felyn was walking this path again, but the personnel configuration... seemed a bit strange?

Forget it, whatever.

As they advanced towards the dungeon, a soft touch suddenly came from Felyn's palm. Felyn thought it was Dorothy and subconsciously shook his hand.

"Mmph!"

That hand didn't give up and once again touched Felyn's palm.

Felyn frowned and tapped the person's head beside him.

"I say, Dorothy, you..."

Felyn felt the height wasn't right; she was even shorter than Dorothy.

Turning his head, he saw Lianrora, who looked like a small child, covering her head with one hand, her lips pouted, and her eyes moist.

Her other hand still stubbornly held Felyn's, refusing to let go.

"Your Highness Lianrora?! When did you appear here?"

The Lianrora before him was a soul form, so theoretically, she could be anywhere.

"You, cannot, be a playboy." She spoke of a heavy topic in a child's tone. "Princess, dragon, can only choose one. Otherwise, there will be a fight."

"I'd rather choose neither."

"No, you must choose one."

"Hmm? Why?"

"Those two, in the future, will be very powerful. They can help the empire."

Felyn felt it was too tiring to bend down to listen to Lianrora, so he directly picked up the dragon-slaying princess and held her in his arms.

Her legs kicked randomly in the air a few times at first, then she quieted down, accepting the fact that she was being treated like a child by Felyn.

"I know Seraphina is very powerful, but can Dorothy be as powerful as her?"

"Mmm... she is me."

Felyn guessed the princess meant that Dorothy's constitution was very similar to Lianrora's.

Dorothy herself was special, possessing immense magical power within her body and even being able to use magic.

So, did the empire's first princess, Lianrora, succeed in slaying the dragon alone hundreds of years ago because she also had immense magical power in her body?

"Then aren't Dorothy and Seraphina fated rivals?"

"More or less."

"Eitani is going to be sad. The only one she can talk to isn't even her nemesis."

"The hero is her nemesis," Lianrora added.

"There's no hero."

Seeing Lianrora stare at him without speaking, Felyn voiced the doubt in his heart. "You don't think I'm the hero, do you? Will Eitani and I be nemeses? I kill her, she kills me."

"You can marry her."

"No, no, no, even if we get married, it's me marrying her," Felyn corrected Lianrora's statement. "Besides, how can a human and a demon get married? She has lived for hundreds of years and can live for thousands or tens of thousands more. If she eventually becomes the Demon King, she could even be immortal."

"If she gives you her magic, you can too. Live a long life. But you won't be human anymore."

"I won't be human anymore?"

Felyn sighed, feeling that the direction of his life was becoming stranger and stranger.

The clients he served were becoming more and more high-profile, and the matters involved were inevitably becoming more and more bizarre.

"Eitani is a good person," Lianrora in his arms suddenly said. "I saw her when I was alive."

"She wanted to say hello to me, but I struck her with my sword. She just stared at me in a daze, then ran away crying."

"Eitani... ran away crying?" Felyn was a little surprised.

"Mmm, at that time, she was probably still a child. Now, she has only just come of age."

Lianrora narrowed her eyes, searching her memories. "I realized I was wrong then and gave her a book as an apology. She kept saying, 'I don't want this kind of book,' while being completely engrossed in it."

"Your Highness, let me interrupt you. The book you gave her, it wasn't a dirty book, was it?"

Lianrora looked up at Felyn. "I am a princess. How could I carry a dirty book?"

"That's good, that's good."

"I only had one copy of The Grand Adventure of the Princess and the Hero. It should be considered a children's book, right? I didn't look at it carefully."

Felyn's footsteps suddenly stopped.

Your Highness, isn't that a dirty book?!

So Eitani became like this all because of you!

You opened a strange door for her!

Speaking of which, did this book exist hundreds of years ago?! This kind of book should be listed as a banned book and then burned to ashes!

"She should be looking forward to it now, right?" Lianrora in his arms looked at the scenery of the dungeon, feeling a little emotional. "Hundreds of years ago, she probably fantasized about one day becoming the princess in the book, to experience the feeling of being saved... no."

Lianrora shook her head. "She doesn't want to experience the feeling of being saved. She probably wants to experience the feeling of being cared for."

To be cared for, to be thought of.

It seemed so simple, yet so difficult.

Felyn could understand Eitani's thoughts very well.

She had no friends, and even her father was in a deep sleep.

The dungeon had trapped Eitani's heart, making her guard the prison day after day, all alone.

She might be omnipotent, able to easily destroy a country.

But she might also be unable to do anything, with nothing in her heart to care about. Destruction or salvation, it was all meaningless.

To live in this world is to collect these meanings, to make life more interesting, more precious.

Until one day, one might suddenly exclaim with emotion, "Life is so happy right now, I don't want to die yet."

Only then does life truly become happy.

"Thank you for telling me this, Your Highness." Felyn nodded. Through his conversation with Lianrora, he had found what was missing deep inside Eitani's heart.

She needed meaning, so he would help her find the meaning of life.

Since she needed to be cared for, then he would play that role.

I will come and save you, Eitani.

You just wait in your cell with all the anticipation you can muster.

"Brother Felyn looks so annoying like this," Dorothy, following behind Felyn, suddenly said. "He must be thinking of some girl again."

"Most likely Eitani, right?" Seraphina said, looking at a cave entrance in the distance. That was the place where Eitani was hidden.

Hero saves the beauty. Eitani might just fall in love with Felyn.

Seraphina didn't want this to happen. She had to prevent Eitani from being by Felyn's side.

The outside of the cave was unremarkable, but there were definitely many guards inside.

This was, after all, a matter of collusion with the Royal Capital District's interior. There might even be members of the church on guard.

"Should we discuss a plan? To avoid alerting them," Felyn said, pulling Seraphina and Dorothy.

"Alerting them? Isn't that perfect?" Seraphina snorted coldly and walked straight into the cave. "If the guards give Eitani a couple of lashes because of it, I'd be overjoyed."
