Seeing it, Bader looked down at his own hand. On his finger was the ring he received 15 years ago, along with the earnest plea never to take it off, when the kingdom was established.
Bader’s face contorted into a grimace.
“Is there something in this ring?”
Ignoring his nephew’s question, Duke Kuran continued with the story he wanted to tell.
“The supervisors are beings created with my blood and mana. They possess powers and abilities vastly different from lower-level demons. I placed these higher-ranking demons in the four corners, east, west, south, and north, of the Kuran Kingdom and strengthened the borders.”
“Now that I know how they were created and the reason for placing demons on the border lines, what exactly are you trying to convey?”
Despite Bader’s urging, the duke steadfastly continued with what he wanted to say.
“However, I only realized that it wasn’t the end just recently. Lower-level demons can be monitored by higher-ranking demons, but those higher-ranking demons had to be managed by me. That’s how I ended up confined here. My dream of ascending to the throne has been shattered into pieces.”
“So what? Why are you lamenting now, not like your usual self? Anyway, it was your choice, wasn’t it?”
Truly demon-like.
Looking at Bader, who showed no hint of sympathy, Duke Kuran let out a bitter laugh.
“Yes, it was my choice. That’s why I made up my mind. I decided that I need to create demons to protect me, who is confined here.”
Bader’s gaze shifted to Count Galt, standing on the other side.
In a lowered voice, Duke Kuran spoke.
“Did you fill the surroundings with demons? Is it possible that Count Galt is one of them too?”
“It won’t go that far. I always thought I couldn’t just let those who, because of me, enjoy everything in the kingdom I created, always plotting against me, be left alone.”
Bader’s voice trembled as if with anxiety.
“What are you talking about?”
Duke Kuran, as if promising to reveal a significant secret, lowered his head towards Bader’s ear. After that, he uttered in a sardonic tone.
“I made those who stick close to me and receive the greatest benefits become guardian demons protecting me.”
Bader recoiled in astonishment.
“No way…”
As Duke Kuran nodded silently, Bader exclaimed with a horrified expression.
“No way, is Father really a demon? Did Uncle really make him like that?”
“Why do you think it’s only your father?”
“Then, is the queen also?”
“The queen? No. There must be someone receiving greater benefits than the queen.”
Duke Kuran raised the hand adorned with the ring, showing the back of his hand before pointing to the ring with the other hand.
A ring adorned with a rainbow-colored stone, representing red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
Bader’s gaze shifted to the garden.
In the garden divided into seven sections, flowers flaunting their colors: red, orange, yellow, green.
His father’s ring was blue, and his own ring was navy.
“This monstrous thing.”
Bader, realizing everything, screamed in anger and drew his sword. However, before taking a step forward, he was restrained by Count Galt.
“Bader, stop doing pointless things. Even if you become a demon, as long as you wear that ring, you’re no different from an ordinary human.”
“Are you expecting me to stay quiet after turning me into such a lowly monster?”
Duke Kuran burst into laughter.
“Lowly? This is incredible. I gave you a tremendous opportunity. So, I also turned Maria into a demon.”
Bader’s eyes widened as if he couldn’t believe it.
“Maria too? You made your own daughter like that?”
He had unconsciously dropped the title of ‘uncle,’ but Duke Kuran didn’t mind.
Titles among family members were not important to demons.
“Why on earth?”
Bader mumbled in disbelief, recalling the ring worn on Maria’s hand.
“After the kingdom was established, I gave her the ring of the royal family, 15 years ago. Did you make Maria a monster at that time?”
“Yes.”
“Turned that child into a monster? Why?”
Rather than sadness or anger, his expression was one of incomprehension.
Looking at Bader with that expression, Duke Kuran answered briefly.
“When that child grows up, won’t she become the queen instead of me, who is trapped here? So, I have to make her listen well in advance.”
“Just for that reason?”
“Why think of it negatively? I gave an eternal life to a human who can’t live for even a hundred years. You should be grateful.”
Bader stared at Duke Kuran for a long time before asking.
“Why are you suddenly telling me this?”
Duke Kuran turned his body to face Bader as if signaling that it was finally time to talk.
“We need to prepare for the enemy’s invasion.”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
