Chapter 121
I understand. But I’ve already told you—fairy tale protagonists always face multiple small trials and one catastrophically large one. And there’s always a villain, so you must defeat even the worst of them for a happy ending to arrive.
Bunny rubbed beneath her nose at the worry-filled letters, then thrust her chest forward proudly.
Tsk.
She wagged her index finger left and right in disapproval.
“Luri doesn’t know, but Bunny is a big kid like the King, so Bunny will defeat the Witch quickly.”
Other villains might be simple for the Young Master, but the Witch certainly won’t be. She’ll be desperate too. And even after defeating the Witch, there are many mountains left to climb.
“Mountains left to climb?”
There are several, but the largest mountain is a few years from now—when a New High Priest arrives at the Holy Temple.
Oh, more information.
‘Information from the future!’
Bunny’s eyes sparkled as she gripped the notebook again, lying flat and absorbing the letters flowing across the page.
Currently, the Holy Maiden and the Holy Knight Commander are both from the direct line of the Udiah Duchy, aren’t they?
“Yes.”
Normally, the High Priest should also come from the Udiah Duchy. But exceptionally, a commoner with tremendous divine power will appear and be appointed as High Priest.
Another soft candidate for Bunny’s collection?
Just as Bunny was contentedly lost in imagination, smiling her usual carefree smile without particular worry, new letters suddenly materialized, shattering her reverie.
The Holy Demon War ended years ago through Kiriel Yudia’s efforts, but during the war itself, this person lost their entire family and village to the Demon Clan—their hatred toward them is immense.
“…I see.”
So this person dislikes the Demon Clan too.
‘Not all Demon Clan members are bad.’
And they studied extensively about the Holy Demon War. In that war, it wasn’t only humans who died—many, many Demon Clan members perished as well.
‘But hating only the Demon Clan seems unfair.’
Thinking this way, Bunny shook her head side to side.
‘Bunny, you still have a child’s human heart.’
It must have been terribly sad.
In truth, everyone in the Udiah Duchy dislikes the Demon Clan. Everyone except Father… No, Father only liked Bunny and disliked all other Demon Clan members.
‘Roel dislikes them too…’
Eventually Bunny would have to reveal to everyone that she was a Demon Clan member, and at that moment… what if they all came to hate her?
To prepare for that day, she’d been receiving advice from Luriel and diligently practicing the Soft Soft Operation in advance…
Since many stories have changed… I can’t predict exactly what will happen, but that person will immediately recognize that the Young Master is a Demon Clan member. And…
Luriel seemed serious.
Bunny’s rounded smile also drooped into a triangle shape.
And… they will probably also discover that the Young Master is the Demon King’s seed.
Bunny’s eyes reading the letters grew perfectly round.
“…What if it’s discovered?”
I was told it mustn’t be discovered.
Father said so too. That we wouldn’t be able to be together.
Bunny’s hand gripping the notebook tensed with all her strength.
Actually, originally the female lead—that is, Ho-Moong—would first reveal the Young Master’s identity within the Udiah Duchy. And the High Priest would drive the final wedge into that… that was the future I saw.
“…Ho-Moong.”
Still, the Young Master succeeded with the Soft Soft Operation, so for now… I think Ho-Moong should be fine, but I didn’t see the situation clearly myself. So please always be careful.
Bunny’s eyes widened at Luriel’s words.
Bunny nodded with a slight grin.
‘Right, Bunny and Ho-Moong succeeded with the Soft Soft Operation.’
Bunny nodded thoughtfully and opened her mouth.
“What about that High Priest? Can’t we do the Soft Soft Operation on him?”
…That would probably be difficult. His hatred is immense. But his holy power is also strong, so he discovers that the Young Master is the next Demon King and announces it before everyone to see. So….
So?
So everyone comes to hate the Young Master and demands that he be cast out.
Bunny’s expression darkened slightly as she read the words.
Whenever Bunny saw such things, she became a little melancholy and sad. Now she couldn’t help but think that the people who were soft toward her might suddenly change one day….
‘Father said it mustn’t be discovered.’
That meant there was a high probability that even Father couldn’t do anything about it if it were discovered.
‘This is the Hayangyi Clan, after all.’
A clan that dislikes black and considers red ominous, where most people walk about in pure white clothes.
“…Even though Bunny is really Father’s Brother’s daughter?”
I’m not sure about that. There were times when it was revealed… but most people refused to believe it. It seems they wanted to deny the fact that a Hero bore a child with a Demon Clan Member.
“…But.”
Bunny murmured softly and pouted her lips.
“But… Bunny was born. I’m here.”
That alone was the truth.
Because Father and Mother loved each other, held hands tightly, and slept together in bed, Bunny was born.
The fairy gave Bunny as a gift to Mother and Father.
“If you tell Father, would Father hate you?”
…I’ve never experienced that, so I don’t know. Now that I think about it, there’s never been a time when both the fact of being the Demon King’s child and being the Hero’s child were revealed simultaneously.
Bunny’s eyes hardened as she looked at Luriel’s words.
“Then Bunny will tell Father.”
No? You can’t!
Enormously large letters filled the entire notebook.
Bunny, who was about to stand up, hesitated and sat back down quietly.
“Why? Father will believe it if I tell him that my real Father and Mother love each other so much that the fairy gave Bunny as a gift.”
From the beginning, when Bunny was a baby, she had made one promise with Father.
“From now on, I won’t hide anything from Father.”
She had promised to be a wonderful baby who hid nothing from Bunny’s Real Father.
‘But now, Bunny who has climbed one step up the stairs of adulthood…. I’ve become a child with many secrets.’
Surely Father would be greatly disappointed.
“So if I tell Father everything…!”
Regardless of anything else, the fact that I’m the Demon King’s successor must not be revealed.
“Why?”
Bunny’s cheeks puffed out indignantly as she countered with a displeased expression.
The letters gradually faded before new characters began to materialize across the notebook’s surface.
Young Master. Have you forgotten? The one who killed the Previous Demon King was… Kiriel Yudia.
Bunny’s eyes widened at the words, then slowly contracted.
I knew. I did know, but….
That’s precisely why telling Kiriel Yudia that fact would be such an enormous gamble.
“Father is so kind to Bunny…. So soft and mushy. He says he loves Bunny.”
I understand. The future you’ve created now is different from any future I once knew…. However, there were several futures where the High Priest’s lineage as a descendant of the Demon King was revealed. Each time….
The letters grew faintly blurred.
As if Luriel hesitated to continue speaking.
…Each time, the one who killed the villainess—no, Young Master—was Kiriel Yudia.
“….”
And… Young Master awakens as the Demon King each time.
