Chapter 1049 – Afterword ─ Raising a Demon God Is Not an Easy Task
“I heard a story I could never have imagined.”
Hedone spoke with startled eyes, turned her face from looking at Venus, made eye contact with Vanessa, who was standing quietly, and greeted her.
“Your Majesty has done something quite difficult. Although he helped, the fact that the method was obscene and embarrassing did not change.”
He Donne spoke with a smile, grabbed Vanessa’s hand, patted it, and stroked the back of her hand leisurely.
Haha… The moment I opened my eyes, I was so embarrassed and tears flowed.”
“I will scold you harshly later, so please look at me with the broad mind of a senior.”
Hehe… You married a really nice person, Your Majesty.”
Feeling much more at ease, Vanessa smiled a truly comfortable smile. Hedone smiled proudly and lightly put down Vanessa’s hand and placed his mouth on her ear.
“Your Majesty may not have told you, but I will also provide help to the Binoche family.”
“Three, oh my… There’s no need to help Grace that much…”
“Your Majesty, you skipped the story too much. You are doing important work to protect the empire, so of course you should provide this level of help. And…”
Vanessa looked at Hedone in surprise as she spoke quietly, but eventually smiled peacefully.
After the two had a satisfying conversation, Hedone moved away from Vanessa and fondled her breasts with her hands.
“I understand why Your Majesty called me, but there is nothing to expect.”
Haha… I’m looking forward to it…”
“Just because she’s pregnant doesn’t mean milk will come out of her breasts right away~”
At Hedone’s words, Venus covered her mouth with her hand and cleared her throat slowly.
“If your Majesty wishes, there is a way to use magic.”
“Hmm… Isn’t there a need to rush to feed Hedone’s milk to the demon god?”
“That is a wise decision.”
Venus nodded to Ceres’ advice, grabbed Hedone, who was standing next to her, by the waist, patted her, and kissed her cheek while making a sound.
“In a situation like this, I think I have no choice but to ask Mom for help.”
“I think your mother would be happy to help. Um… I’m sorry I couldn’t help you right away, Your Majesty.”
“Does Hedone have any reason to feel sorry? Hedone’s stomach hasn’t swollen yet.”
Venus smiled brightly and patted the lower abdomen of her beloved Hedone with her palm.
“I still… Can’t believe that Venus has become a father?”
“I feel that way too.”
Hehe, you think so too, Mr. Ceres, don’t you? Haha,~ How did a kid who was always causing trouble become a father~”
Venus cleared her throat urgently at Arisa’s playful words.
“Woah! Why are you saying that? I am the emperor of an empire where the sun never sets, even if I look like this! Of course, I can at least act as a father to a child!”
“Hmph, are you really saying that, Venus? It’s very bad for the daughters who will be born in the future… Wow! Hey!!”
Before Arisa could finish her words, Venus lowered his hand and pressed his palm firmly on Arisa’s lower abdomen and pussy, shaking her off.
“Be quiet! Be quiet! Arisa is going to have my child anyway! You’re talking a lot!”
“Ugh…! Really!! Where are you touching! Where!”
Arisa’s face turned red, and she slapped Venus’ hand and fanned her hand.
“Anyway! According to what Vanessa said, shouldn’t we prepare for breastfeeding properly?”
“Ah… Your Majesty. I talked to the Demon God a little more just in case.”
Vanessa said with a smile.
“You thought well. Demon gods have been famous for a long time for saying mysterious things that ordinary people cannot understand.”
“Yes, I was worried about that too, so I asked if I really understood what was right. Luckily, our Demon God seems to be very, very hungry.”
“Haha… Well, it looks like there were a lot of people saying they were starving and wanted to breastfeed?”
Venus smiled once and walked towards the tightly closed door.
“If a demon spirit whines that it is hungry, there is nothing you can do about it. Can a crying child receive education? Letters also come into view after the stomach is full.”
With a cheerful smile, Venus slowly pulled the door open.
“I ask Mama to give me milk to feed the demon god.”
“Are you sure you’re going to ask for a favor? Are you planning on doing something dirty with our Empress Dowager?”
“What are you really saying…”
Venus, who moved his feet a step to get out of the room where the demon was, suddenly stopped speaking.
“Your Majesty.”
In front of the door, a woman with sparkling purple hair was looking up at Venus.
“Lucia…?”
“I heard that there was a demon spirit spending its childhood here, and it seems it was true.”
Lucia spoke in a hard voice and continued with dissatisfied and, in a sense, angry eyes.
“Why are you keeping a demon spirit here? If it is in the form of an egg, shouldn’t it be destroyed and made so that it can never be revived?”
It was a simple logic that even a three-year-old child could understand that the Church of Saints did not wish for the resurrection of the Demon God.
* * * *
“The story is very plausible.”
After listening to Venus’ explanation, Lucia frowned strongly, clearly expressing her displeasure.
“Don’t you think the risk is too great? This idealistic story cannot reassure not only the people of the church, but also the public, who will eventually find out the truth.”
“Didn’t I explain that demons are not evil gods and that the reason they twist people’s wishes to grant them is because they don’t know much about human society?”
“Your Majesty Venus. I understand what you are saying. However, what you are trying to raise now is not a newborn baby that you do not know anything about in this world. Everyone is afraid of it.”
Lucia’s expression was extremely serious, and her voice was hot.
“I will not deny your Majesty’s ideal. I think it is a very warm and good thing. If it were me, I would not have interfered.”
Haha…”
“However, the opponent is a demon god. It was a being that His Majesty barely defeated after much hardship and sacrifice. There is no need to bring such a being back to life, is there?”
Lucia let out a long breath as she clenched her fists.
“But didn’t I tell you that even if you kill the demon here, it will eventually be resurrected?”
“Your Majesty… Didn’t you say that the church would bear that burden?”
“The rising sun will inevitably set someday. What could be more foolish than trying to cover the moon with your palm out of fear of night coming?”
Venus carefully held Lucia’s hand.
“Please don’t do this… I now follow the opinion of Grace, who has become a saint… And the will of all members of the Church of Saints…”
“Lucia. Shouldn’t all beings in this world have a chance? A demon can become a good god. A kind and loving god who can grant the wishes of countless beings.”〈 Br〉
Lucia let out a long sigh and shook her head.
“I don’t know. This unknown thing… Wouldn’t it be so sad and sad if the end result is another tragedy? I don’t know, but people will…”
“But shouldn’t we give it a chance? It would be too unfortunate not to even give it a chance. And think about it, Lucia.”
Venus now sat down with her butt next to Lucia, who looked a little embarrassed.
“Your Majesty!”
“Think about the first mistake I made with you.”
“… Are you saying you raped me?”
“Yes, I didn’t rape you. But I was able to win your love thanks to the opportunity the saint gave me.”
Venus’ eyes were serious, and there was no sense of sexual harassment as he talked about old times.
“… Your Majesty and the Demon God are different. Your Majesty raping me and the Demon God’s turning the life of the entire world into nothing can never be put on the same line.”
“But what did you think when you were raped?”
“Keu… Haaaaa…!”
Lucia let out a very long sigh, then grabbed Venus’ thigh and pushed him away like he was pinching her.
“Your Majesty… I came here to have a really serious talk.”
“Give me just a little chance. What I’m saying right now is a child whining that it’s hungry because it can’t even drink its mother’s milk.”
“Milk…?”
Lucia furrowed her eyebrows and rubbed her face with her palm.
“What on earth is that…”
“Didn’t you say that the Demon God is now in its childhood? It’s natural for it to cry because it is hungry and wants to drink its mother’s milk. Do you understand? The Demon God is a more harmless being than you think.”
Lucia looked at Venus, who spoke her words with a serene smile, and let out a very long sigh.
“… Okay, then I will talk to the Basilica. You should know that our church basically cannot welcome demons known as evil spirits! If you are thinking of becoming the father of an empire where the sun never sets, then of course you would know that. !”
Haha! As expected, Lucia has a big heart!”
“Don’t be mistaken! I will stay in the imperial palace from now on and see what this childhood demon will demand as tribute, what stories he will tell, and what kind of power he will unleash!”
Lucia spoke in a truly serious voice.
“And… I will report it to the church. No matter what decision is made, I will follow everyone’s wishes. The church also has eyes and ears. It will not make a wrong decision.”
“It sounds as if you want to prove to everyone in the Church of Saints, not to you, how good demons are and that they can live good lives.”
“… That’s right. Just as Your Majesty proved, all you have to do is prove that demons also have love. Just like you showed me, all you have to do is show it one more time.”
Venus was delighted with Lucia’s words, took her hand, and kissed the back of her hand.
“Thank you. Thank you. I will never waste the opportunity Lucia gave me.”
“This… Ugh, ugh…!”
A demon can become a good being.
At the thought of proving that fact, Venus felt sincere gratitude, while Lucia closed her eyes, feeling malevolent.
‘Thank you for not being able to take His Majesty’s side even in this situation…’
Lucia bit her lip and clenched her fists.
