Free Web NovelVieya had a muddled, hazy dream. There were no flashes of blades or scenes of slaughter—only wives from different stages of life: childhood, loli phase, girlhood, womanhood...
Countless images flickered within the dream, as if she were watching countless movies at once. Sitting in a vast white void, Vieya tilted her small face upward, watching those thousands upon thousands of scenes unfold.
Every one of them featured Flaviel as the main character. And in those brief flashes, Vieya watched, like a film, the story of Flaviel through all her stages of life.
“Is this a dream, or what?”
Vieya pinched her thigh. “Hiss—ouch!” fгeewebnovёl.com
After wandering in circles for a while and realizing she couldn’t leave, she simply sat cross-legged on the blank ground and began watching Flaviel’s life story from the very beginning with great interest.
“If it’s a dream, couldn’t it at least give me some cola and popcorn...? Hm? So this is Flaviel’s childhood... looking for berries alone in the forest?”
“Huh? What’s that... a fish? A horse? A spider...? A gathering of monsters?”
Just as Vieya was getting absorbed in the story of Flaviel’s childhood, a cold hand suddenly patted her shoulder.
“Hi~ Here to watch me again?”
“No one’s watching you.”
Vieya turned her head toward the blonde girl standing behind her and pouted. “Is it that every time I’m about to die, I see you?”
“What nonsense. You’re perfectly alive.” Flaviel looked annoyed. “You’re the heart of the most beautiful Demon King—how could you die?”
“Narcissist...” Vieya paused, then suddenly asked, “Then, for a Demon King like you, what would it take to kill you completely?”
“Eh?”
Flaviel ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) looked at the white-haired loli beside her and glared. “Look at you. I only said a few words, and now you’re already thinking about wiping me out completely?”
“...You know what I mean,” said Vieya.
“With that attitude... you might as well just ignore me.” Flaviel sat down beside her, golden hair cascading down. Her voice softened. “But that method lies in the Holy Sword. You already know that. The Holy Sword can kill both the body and the soul of a Demon King. But as long as the Demon King’s crown remains vacant, a new Demon King will be born. The Demon King’s memories are inherited. So, to humans, a Demon King can never truly die—always returning from hell.”
“And what about you and Jasmine? Her magic is pitifully weak, she can’t even use Authority.” Vieya thought for a moment. “Like having the talent, but the talent button stays greyed out.”
“Sorry, our daughter didn’t inherit anything at all—neither knowledge nor memory. Even her Authority’s incomplete. She’s a little good-for-nothing.”
“You’re her mother. Saying that about your own daughter—don’t you feel guilty?”
“What can I do... it’s my first time having a child.” Flaviel, suddenly flustered, looked aggrieved. “How was I supposed to know all that? Even if I wanted to do better, I’m not as capable as you!”
She went on, “And now you’re both dad and mom—you’d better pay attention to these things!”
“...”
Vieya had no answer. She realized that aside from playing dumb or being lazy, it was impossible to win an argument against the Demon King.
Flaviel was like a rabbit, bouncing endlessly before your eyes—you could never tell if she was being whimsical or abstract, or whether her words were teasing or seductive.
“Eh, just a moment ago you were chatting happily with me, and now you’re silent again.”
Flaviel threw herself onto Vieya like a kangaroo, puffing her cheeks. “With how hot and cold you are, is talking to me such a burden?”
“No, it’s not,” said Vieya.
“...”
Flaviel fell silent, as though despairing over someone’s indifference. She slid off Vieya’s body, sulking coldly.
“I knew it. You’ve got so many women in that house—if they aren’t ignoring you, there’s no way it’d ever be my turn.”
“? Hey, stop talking nonsense!”
Vieya’s eye twitched. “Our daughter’s in that house too! And I’m unconscious right now! Those last two lines were complete slander! I’m not being ignored by anyone!”
“Mm↑-hm↓”
Flaviel made a coquettish nasal sound, then pointed toward the void. “You know you’re unconscious, yet you’re still hanging around here? What, planning to stay a vegetable forever and let your daughter take care of you in bed?”
She gave the slime girl’s springy butt a light kick. “Go on already! This isn’t where you belong. Go, go, I get a headache just seeing you!”
A gentle push came from behind.
Vieya stumbled forward.
The world before her shattered like a bubble. A wave of intense dizziness hit her.
Flaviel’s figure grew smaller and smaller, until it became a faint whitish light in the darkness.
In the end, the darkness swallowed her whole like a tide.
She didn’t know how much time had passed when faint voices began to reach her ears, stirring her consciousness.
“Mom! Mom! You—”
“Jasmine, quieter. Your mom just woke up, don’t shout.”
“I... where am I?”
Vieya slowly opened her eyes. It felt as if she had dreamed for a very long time, yet she couldn’t remember much of what had happened.
She only instinctively felt that she’d met someone important in that dream...
Was it her?
“Mom... are you okay?” Jasmine asked softly.
“Just feels like I had a long dream.”
Vieya pushed herself up with her hands, sitting slowly, and looked at Aislin and Jasmine standing nearby with worried faces. She smiled faintly. “Got anything to eat? I think I’m hungry...”
“Yes, yes, yes!” Jasmine’s worry vanished instantly. Her pretty eyes curved like crescent moons as she raised her right hand. “Mom, wait here! I’ll bring it right away!”
With that, she hurried out in quick little steps.
“That child...” Vieya watched Jasmine’s swaying figure helplessly, then turned to Aislin with a slightly embarrassed look. “How long was I asleep?”
“Three days. This morning makes the fourth,” said Aislin. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
“That long...” Vieya was startled.
“Yeah. We thought you’d recover in two days, but then the night before last you suddenly got a fever, hot all over like a human.” Aislin added, “Your daughter was so worried, she stayed by your bed the whole time.”
“My daughter’s amazing,” Vieya said softly, smiling at Aislin. “Thank you too.”
The slime and the elf exchanged a gentle smile.
At that moment, the door burst open!
Clack!
“Hey hey hey, Vieya’s finally awake? We gotta see her, meow!”
“Bad cat, Mom’s hungry, she needs food...”
“I’ll help you carry it!”
The noisy voices echoed from the hall.
The catgirl maid appeared at the doorway holding a tray. Blinking at the awakened Vieya in bed, she said,
“I thought you’d already died, meow...”
