CHAPTER 405: CHAPTER 47 SHOCKING THE BIRTH MOTHER WITH THE DEMON KING TERRITORY

"So sweet, so delicious~"

Reverie was now in Satan Ye’s room, happily munching on crispy bran cookies with Satan Ye. It seemed the mother and daughter were very much alike in some aspects, like both being foodies.

"I never thought the extra husks of grains could be made into such tasty cookies."

Reverie said this while wagging her tail joyfully. Her movements were almost in sync with Satan Ye’s. Both dragon tails were plump, maybe even considered chubby from the perspective of the Dragon Clan.

Of course, to humans, the humanoid parts of them would definitely appear as a slender young lady and a little girl.

"Yep! This is something Mr. Yila researched."

Listening to Satan Ye’s words, hearing the name "Yila" multiple times during their conversation, Reverie couldn’t hold back her curiosity and asked, "It sounds like Yila is really amazing... How did he end up joining the Demon King Territory?"

Reverie had initially wanted to say "a human who once killed Favignano" but, on second thought, decided her daughter might not know about that... so she held her tongue.

But Satan Ye actually knew all about it and was somewhat concerned.

"Mom, let me explain first... Please don’t get mad, okay~"

Satan Ye said, holding Reverie’s hand, she continued seriously, "As you know, Dad passed away. But he died honorably on the battlefield fighting Mr. Yila face-to-face... Yila did nothing wrong, so don’t be angry with him."

It seemed Satan Ye thought that Yila hadn’t told Reverie the whole story.

"Um... Yila mentioned this to me before."

Satan Ye looked a little surprised and confused by her mother’s statement. She asked, "Huh? Knowing this, you still came to the Demon King Territory and got along well with Mr. Yila? You didn’t try to attack him and then get captured?"

"..."

"???"

*Wait, what kind of person exactly was Yila? Was it really okay for someone like that to be around my daughter? Also... why did my daughter think her mother (me) couldn’t beat anyone?*

"No, I..."

Reverie opened her mouth, but her confused mind couldn’t figure out where to start. She hesitated, looking at Satan Ye’s blinking eyes, and asked, "What about you, Favignano is gone, aren’t you mad at Yila?"

"..."

Hilena, standing nearby, felt it was better to avoid the conversation at this moment. So, she gestured to the maids in the room, and apart from three who stayed and kept their eyes down, the rest left.

In truth, neither of them paid much attention to the maids.

"In my case, when Dad just died, I didn’t really understand what anger was... Hilena told me I just cried. Then I started working hard to become a good Demon King because we were at war."

Recalling the past, Satan Ye showed a nostalgic expression and continued, "Later, when I understood what anger was, I wasn’t that mad at Mr. Yila anymore. Even if I was, it was just a little... because it was all so upright."

"Later on, I wasn’t angry at all. One reason is that Dad always said Mr. Yila was the person he admired most and wanted to be sworn brothers with. Another reason... I encountered many other things that made me angrier."

Satan Ye still remembered that as the war was about to end and Yila was about to arrive... for three months, many territories didn’t offer any tribute, making it a tough time for the Demon King Territory.

The territories that didn’t participate in the war were the quickest to show rebellion... how ironic.

"After that, it seemed Mr. Yila was framed by bad people in the empire or something..."

Satan Ye said this, still not understanding the twists and turns of the empire’s nobility. She flashed a happy smile, "Anyway, Mr. Yila ended up joining the Demon King Territory... He initially said he would repay a favor and taught me how to fight."

"Then, Hilena and Miss Vera said something to Mr. Yila, and he started teaching me to govern, how to make fertilizers, and how to farm."

"He also helped me bring those rebellious territories to heel."

Seeing Satan Ye, with eyes full of admiration, joyfully talking about *"Mr. Yila taking her on adventures, visiting the ruins her father had been to, and saying her father had once been bitten on the head by a Treasure Box Monster"* and such.

Listening to all this, observing Satan Ye, Reverie couldn’t help but smile... If that’s the case, Yila was indeed an amazing person.

When it came to parenting, Yila and that enchanting demon royal family member Hilena were ten times more like parents than she and Favignano were... Compared to that idiot, Yila was worth twenty times more. Compared to Hilena, maybe only five times.

(Favignano: This... this can’t be right... I also taught Satan Ye... to fight~)

(Yose: Hahaha!)

(Igrain: Laughing, huh? You still have the face to laugh?)

(Yose: Honey...)

(Igrain: I may not have taken care of Isabella much, but did you teach more than Yila? Come here!)

(Yose: But... you yourself said you didn’t... Wait, my ears...)

——————————

"So..."

Reverie asked, blinking just like Satan Ye, "Do you really like Yila? I mean, like... wanting to marry him?"

Under her mother’s questioning, Satan Ye, who had been chattering away about Yila, went silent. She thought for a moment and said, "I don’t know."

It seemed Satan Ye wasn’t too shy about this topic... She simply made eye contact with her mother and said honestly, "I rely on Yila a lot. Without him, I feel very uneasy... but I don’t know if it’s the kind of like that means I want to marry him."

Satan Ye calmly admitted her reliance and her affection... Only in front of her mother would she talk so calmly about her inner conflicts.

With that, Reverie completely understood.

"I see... If you don’t understand your feelings, just think about it. If Yila married someone else one day, ask yourself if you’d feel hurt..."

Saying this, Reverie hoped Satan Ye would understand her heart... Just like she once did, understanding her own possessiveness and her love for Favignano.

"Sure~"

Satan Ye responded.

"Then that’s it. If you can’t... Huh?"

Reverie said, a look of surprise on her face.

...

"I said it is ’fine~’"

Satan Ye said, smiling fearlessly, "I’ve always wondered how many wives Mr. Yila will have at his wedding... At any rate, Hilena will definitely be one."

"..."

Reverie: "Then... what about you?"

Satan Ye: "I’m the Demon King, Mr. Yila’s Demon King, as always!"

"?!?!"

Shock reverberated through her mom a hundred years!
