Dainifen Weier was a cold and aloof person—decisive, swift in action, and never going back on her word.
She had led the resistance army to overthrow the cruel rule of the former Demon King and establish a brand-new kingdom, proving herself to be extremely capable.
She was also willing to listen to frank and critical advice from her ministers, making her a wise ruler.
“Move your head away! Don’t rub against me!”
Seth was pressed down on the bed by Dainifen, unable to move.
Seth was originally just an ordinary human.
Aside from having a sharp mind, he was inferior to Dainifen—a pure-blood demon—in every other aspect.
Now that he had turned into a girl, with a new life growing inside his belly, his strength and stamina were even worse than before.
Naturally, he couldn’t resist Dainifen at all.
“There’s a milky scent on you.”
This was completely different from the Dainifen who always wore a cold expression in the past.
Although Seth had known Dainifen since his teenage years, back then she was merely a young hunter living off the wilderness.
At that time, Dainifen’s attitude toward Seth was neither particularly good nor particularly bad—it stayed strictly within the bounds of ruler and subject, mere acquaintances who exchanged nods.
Now, Dainifen’s face was still cold and expressionless, but her body was far more honest.
Whenever she got the chance, she would reach over to touch Seth a couple of times, or continuously rub her face against various parts of his body.
“Stop messing around, I need to go back to work!”
“You’re still on maternity leave.”
“Stop teasing me. Hurry up and turn me back—and keep your hands to yourself.”
Hearing Seth’s words, the Demon King finally stopped clinging to her.
She sat up straight and faced Seth directly.
“You’re already pregnant. You can’t be changed back.”
“You’re not joking… right?”
Dainifen nodded.
Seth fainted on the spot.
“Doctor! Doctor! Someone, hurry!”
Dainifen shouted toward the door.
“Don’t… don’t call them… I’m just a bit dizzy…”
Seth simply couldn’t accept this reality.
Just yesterday, he had been thinking about whether to retire, return to his hometown, and marry a wife.
Today, he was suddenly told that he was pregnant—and about to become a mother.
“You… what did I ever do to deserve this?!”
Seth pointed straight at Dainifen with his index finger, his face flushed red as he shouted angrily.
“Calm down.”
Dainifen wiped the tears from the corners of Seth’s eyes.
She understood his anxiety and unease.
As Seth’s superior—and the child’s father—Dainifen believed it was her responsibility to properly comfort him.
“If I were the one to give birth to this child, I would become extremely weak during the pregnancy. And our kingdom has only just been established—I need to remain in peak condition at all times to prepare for any possible emergencies. I believe you can understand my predicament.”
“Then why did you choose me?You’re obviously so promiscuous…”
This was one of the reasons Seth was so agitated.
During the years of war, Seth often saw Dainifen bringing women he had never seen before in and out of her chambers.
Because of that, Seth had always believed Dainifen was a fickle woman.
Now, choosing him to be the child’s mother—wasn’t that just forcing a cuckold’s hat onto him?
Besides, as the ruler of a nation, she would surely need offspring to secure her position.
In the future, Dainifen would definitely find more people and have more children…
Dainifen lifted the white hair blocking Seth’s eyes and gently stroked his head.
“Where did you hear those rumors?”
“What rumors? I saw it with my own eyes!”
Seth felt deeply wronged.
At a time like this, Dainifen was still trying to deceive him.
She had already chosen him to be the child’s mother, yet she still refused to tell him the truth.
He might as well just die!
“Wipe your tears.”
Dainifen used a towel to dry Seth’s tears.
After placing the towel on the cabinet, she got off the bed.
She knelt on one knee, picked up the demon sword by the bedside, and raised it high above her head.
“I, Dainifen Weier, ruler of the Magitech Kingdom, swear to the gods and to all kings! For all lives and all ages, past and future, I will love only one person—Seth Kulin. If I ever violate this vow, may I suffer eternal damnation and die without a grave!”
Thunder roared, brilliant light flashed—the oath took effect.
This completely stunned Seth.
Dainifen was serious—and she had used such a solemn vow.
This was no joke.
Gods truly existed in this world!
“Hey, get up already!”
“The oath has taken effect… but there’s still one more step…”
“Will you marry me, Miss Seth… no—Miss Safalin?”
“Y-you! Th-this! How could I… I can’t… oh no…”
“If you don’t agree, I’m not getting up!”
“I agree! Get up already! I agree, okay? What if someone sees this?!”
Safalin jumped off the bed and hurriedly pulled Dainifen back up.
That scene just now was far too embarrassing.
What kind of person makes a deadly oath and then immediately proposes—and even changes the other person’s name while doing it?
“What’s with ‘Safalin’? Why did you change my name without asking?!”
“I’m sorry. I didn’t want to do it either, but this is one of the steps for a Demon King to produce offspring. The impregnated person must be renamed as the Demon King’s possession… I’m sorry.”
Why had her attitude suddenly become so soft?
Compared to earlier, Dainifen seemed much gentler now.
Was it because he accepted her proposal?
Even though everything felt so sudden and unclear.
Miss Safalin really didn’t know how to handle situations like this—his head had gotten hot, and he’d just agreed.
“But please rest assured, Miss Safalin. I will treat you as a part of my life—my most precious treasure!”
“What’s with you all of a sudden? You’re being so cheesy.”
“All the women you saw before were spies I placed beside the former Demon King. I had no relationship with any of them. In my entire life, I’ve only ever loved one person—and that is Miss Safalin.”
“If you liked me so much back then, why did you turn me into this…?”
“It wasn’t my intention. It was a problem with the ritual.”
“Don’t treat me like an idiot! What I turned into depends entirely on what you like!”
“I just thought… if you became like this, I could love you even more…”
“Bastard!”
“Careful—don’t upset the baby. Calm down.”
Why hadn’t she noticed before that this Demon King was such a smooth talker?
Lie after lie, one sweet line after another.
Safalin had always thought she was an honest person.
“Tch. By the way, why didn’t you attend court today?”
“I took the day off to stay here with you.”
“So the other ministers also got the day off?”
“Yes.”
Smack!
A pillow flew straight into Dainifen’s face.
“Why do I only get a break because of something like this, while they get a day off so easily? I don’t allow it—make them go back to work!”
“They’ve already been notified. Didn’t you say it yourself before? A ruler’s words carry absolute weight—they can’t be changed on a whim.”
Safalin bit down hard on Dainifen’s thigh.
“I’ll bite you to death!”
Safalin was about to be driven mad by Dainifen.
