Next, the two of them communicated with each other's parents, but Ed still did not talk to his father and sister, but it seemed that Ferner was very popular with them.
As for Ed, Earl Gauss just said that if I handed my granddaughter over to you, it was Ferner's mother-in-law, the cute lady Ninian, told Ed a lot of things that were there or not. It felt like Ed thought that this future mother-in-law planned to move to her island with her daughter. It seemed that she really couldn't bear to leave Ferner...
After sending out a few nobles to meet up with him and chatting with Enrique for a while, Ed and Firner found some time to leave the palace...
Then... Ed, I think I'll stay on your island in three days, that... Can you pick me up from our house?
As soon as Firner walked out of the palace gate, he told his new fiancé about his plan. It seemed that she was in a hurry to move over than Ed.
I'm so anxious, I can't tell that I'm really charming in your heart. Don't worry... I'll pick you up early in the morning.
What a beauty! I just... I just want to meet Alvin and Helena, and... I like the hot springs on your island, and it has nothing to do with you! Humph! Goodbye!
Oh... I also got into trouble with her if I say something about myself. It's really... I'm rare to be gentle to me today. This girl's temper is really elusive...
Looking at Ferner's back as he was gone, Ed could only say this with a self-deprecating voice. He was a little worried and wanted to send the lady back, but soon several guards followed Ferner and made him give up his plan.
Ah... Big sister, do you have something to say?
With Ed's inexplicable words, Rena also emerged from behind the stone wall. It seemed that she had not intended her brother to discover it.
Really, I planned to follow you secretly, but I didn't expect to find out when I left the door
Please... I have been a scout in the fortress for so long. How many people in this world can follow me? Ah, and you are a Paladin at least, so don't do such boring things, okay?
Lena laughed even happier by Ed's lesson. After saying a few words to the guards around her, she walked over alone.
Then... Since Ed has grown up so old, would it be nice to take a walk with his sister?
It doesn't matter
The siblings who had not seen each other for ten years were walking side by side around the palace. They seemed to have something to say, so they both walked to a place with few people. Finally, they came to a corner without anyone. After confirming that no one around was eavesdropping, Lena spoke first.
Ed... Look at you, you really don't want to go home, right?
Sister... Don't make a mistake, my home is now the capital of the emperor, and there is no problem of not returning to it
Huh, it seems that I can't persuade you anymore. Your child has only this stubborn temper for so many years.
Now, let me tell me what happened at home. My father came to the capital this time on the grounds of attending Princess Milia's wedding. It was absolutely impossible for him to come to me specifically because he heard the rumors. It should be said that you were just looking for me by the way. The real purpose was to discuss with the royal family?
Listening to Ed's calm analysis without family affection, Rena's expression became more and more serious, but what made her even more confused was that Ed's inference was absolutely correct. This time she and her father came to the emperor only to discuss things with the emperor. They just took action because of rumors. The family reunion she had originally expected was revealed by Ed's truth, which made the female paladin feel even more sorry for this brother.
Ed... Sister knows that the family owes you a lot, but my father... really has no choice. Now... except for you... there is no male heir who can inherit the family position.
You...what are you talking about? My father's greatest ability is to have or marry him. He eliminated his illegitimate children. I have so many brothers, how could there be no heirs? You want to cheat me back
Despite saying this, Ed knew from his sister's heartbeat and body temperature that she did not lie. He originally thought that at most, there were a few brothers who were more likely to inherit the title and had a fight with each other, and then a few people might die. But so many brothers would become one who could inherit the title. The problem here is a big deal.
Sister, I... I didn't lie to you. You also know that the empire stipulates that women cannot inherit the title of a duke like a duke. So my father came to the imperial capital this time to discuss with His Majesty that he could modify the law against our family so that our daughters could also have the right to inherit, but this would leave a message to other great nobles, so His Majesty was also very distressed. He didn't expect that he could actually find you, so... it was really the goddess who was helping our family...
What happened to this? Not to mention what happened to my brothers, my father is still in his prime. At worst, he can just continue to have a child, and he is afraid he will not have a son...
After Ed said this, he seemed to have noticed something. Could it be that the situation is actually...
This is the problem. This matter is still top secret now. In fact, all the men in the family... are infertile.
This... is true? Just my lustful father? If he can't play with a woman, he will definitely commit suicide. Sister... you won't lie to me again
This so-called truth made Ed want to laugh at the first time, but soon felt the big problem. After thinking about it, he had no idea.
No...that's not what it means, going to bed... sex is OK, but it's just... it can't make a woman pregnant. No matter how she tried, it would be useless. He gave up.
The same is true for my older brothers and younger brothers?
Well... it's better to say...this happens to your family this time...it's the reason for your brother
Sister... It seems that the question this time is not simple. Ah, so just find a place to sit down and chat slowly. I happen to have a good place.
So Ed brought his sister to the Yeyuan Club. When the guard at the door saw him, he immediately greeted the two of them and notified the boss Cram...
Oh! Ed... I brought another beauty to Ah today, um... I'm a little older this time, it seems that you have changed your tastes too
As the boss of the club, Kram habitually commented on the women he met for the first time, but due to Ed's face, he did not say too much. However, from his eyes, he still admired this elder sister quite well...
Well... Cram, that... stop talking, find a place with better confidentiality for us and don't let someone come in
Seeing his sister's expression of wanting to kill, Ed quickly pulled the topic. Kram seemed to have noticed something, and immediately asked his subordinates to take the brother and brother into a private room for two people. Ed tapped the wall with his hand, confirmed the sound insulation effect, and sat down with his sister with confidence and continued to talk about the family.
Ed...Sister, I... don't you look really old?
Alas? No... that's not the case
It seems that Rena really cares about the comment just now, and she becomes as squeezing as a little girl, of course...
She will only have this kind of appearance in front of her family. If she is seen by her fellow Paladins, she may suspect that she has become a succubus.
But... I seem to... not very popular with men. My father and I think I don't want to get married. In fact... there is no man coming to me at all! Woo...
Ed didn't expect that his sister would suddenly complain to him. It seemed that the old woman no one wanted was really painful. But it was no wonder that others were. My sister wanted to be a paladin himself. Of course, there was no need to expect a man to chase women with sweet words...
Besides, this sister is stronger than most male paladins. Even if a man really likes her, she probably doesn't have the courage to confess. Unfortunately, Ed doesn't know how to say this...
Women who want happiness cannot be better than men...
Will... There will be some, sister, you are so powerful and beautiful. There must be many men who like you, but they are just embarrassed to say it out loud. Haha... can we get back to the topic?
Ah! Sorry, I just met today... Sister, I will tell you whether there are any or not, so let's continue talking about family affairs
The two of them sighed at the same time. Lena wanted to find out if there were any drinks in the cupboard, but only alcohol was there. As a paladin, she certainly didn't drink alcohol, so she just poured a glass of water and took a sip, and then continued to tell the situation at home.
Ed... Do you know now who framed you and your mother and were kicked out of the family?
Lena did not tell the story directly, but instead asked Ed a question he didn't like very much.
I don't know, but it's mostly the father's concubines. In order to give their son a better chance to inherit the title, they have too much reason to do so.
Well...that's true, but... it's not a concubine, but Mixue'er
Mixue'er...it's her Ah. Even if her father knows the truth, it shouldn't be easy to say anything, right?
The Michelle mentioned in the two of them was nothing but the wife that Duke Krafal renewed, of course...
Both the siblings here have no blood relationship with her, so they have no feelings or honorifics when talking about it.
Huh... My father really wanted you to inherit the title. After all, you were the smartest among the brothers, so if we think about it now, we would think that she framed you just to let your son seize the inheritance right, but the problem is... My father did not reveal to anyone at that time that he wanted you to inherit the title... Even if she wanted to frame her, she should set her goal on your three brothers.
Reina's words awakened Ed, indeed...
I have always thought that I was framed for so many years because of the inheritance right, but now I think about it...
My father did not take any special care and training for himself back then. Even if he wanted to frame him, he should not have specially targeted himself, who ranked fourth among his brothers. Besides, his mother was quite favored at the time. The mother and son were not the kind of soft persimmons that were casually pinched in the family. It was strange that Michelle took such a big risk to frame him.
Michelle spent so much effort to bribe the alchemist in the family to create fake evidence, making everyone think that I am not the father's biological child... There must be a reliable reason to do this, or is she just thinking that we are unhappy with our mother and son, so she would drive us away no matter what?
This was also the strange place we had at that time, until later... we discovered a cult hiding behind her...
Cult?
Well... It is a sect called the Lust Demon Sect. Although it is not large in scale, it has a long history. The believers in it worship a great demon called the Lust Demon Sect. However, because this Lust Demon Sect was destroyed by other demons in the abyss a long time ago, this sect has not been taken too seriously for a long time.
Hearing this, Ed almost sprayed out the fruit wine he had just drunk. Unexpectedly, such a sect suddenly appeared. He only knew that the Emperor Capital also had such an organization, which was led by the slutty woman Ophelia, but he really didn't expect that there were also a group in his hometown. It seemed that his identity as a demon was quite a big impact.
Well... Then... what does this lust demon sect have to do with me being framed?
Ed stabilized his emotions. He knew that the next words would be very important no matter what, and he would never let his sister see some of his flaws.
Ah...that...we later caught a certain believer and used means to force some information to come up with some information. It seemed that there was a prophecy in their sect that the lustful devil would choose a man from our family in this era. When he was 22 years old, he borrowed his body to resurrect. The time of resurrection was three years ago...
When Ed heard this, he felt like a bolt from the blue in his mind, as if countless flying demons were flying around his heart, three years ago...
Isn't it when I was captured by the demon and transformed my body? To be precise, the lustful demon king was indeed resurrected in his body at that time, but it was not that the demon king himself resurrected, but that he inherited his power, and...
I was indeed 22 years old at that time, which was a bit coincidental
Ed... Are you okay, your face is a little bad? Do you don't like the topics related to the demons?
No... nothing, I just remember the unpleasantness on the battlefield before, sister, please continue to talk
Lena seemed to believe Ed's statement and did not feel too suspicious about her younger brother's reaction. At the same time, she also made herself rethink her thinking. After both parties were silent for a while, Lena began to continue talking...
You should have thought of it. According to that prophecy, there are only two men in our family who meet the conditions for resurrection of this lustful devil king in terms of age. One is you and the other is the fifth brother...
According to Ed's intelligence, he should have reacted immediately, but he obviously hadn't recovered from the shock just now. It was not until his sister reminded him that the reason for the matter was roughly clarified...
His fifth brother is the only brother in the family who is the same age as him, and the mother of this fifth brother is the Mixueer I mentioned before, so everything is clear
What you mean is that Mixueer framed me out of the family not for inheritance, but because of... the prophecy of the resurrection of the devil?
Yes, she seems to be a senior executive of the Lust Demon Sect, and she has great ambitions. Her biggest wish is to make her son the carrier of the resurrection of the Demon King. However, it is said that there are another part of their sect, who also meets the conditions, and you are the real resurrection candidate for the Demon King, which has always been worried.
Worrying that I will steal her son’s identity as a devil? This... is so ridiculous!
But it was probably a kind of honor for her. It is said that she had spent a lot of effort to seduce her father in order to marry her father, and she chose the opportunity to get pregnant. It is said that she also used certain alchemy and spells to control the gender of the fetus in her body. Now it seems that everything is for the so-called prophecy of the resurrection of the devil.
Ed suddenly felt very ironic. The woman tried her best to drive herself out of the house in order to prevent herself from becoming a devil's reincarnation. Unexpectedly, she finally gained that power thousands of miles away from her hometown. This is not so much a coincidence, but rather...
There is a certain power of fate guiding it, but at the same time, it is even more sympathetic to my fifth brother. Although his relationship with that brother is not very good, the purpose of being born by his mother is to be a container for the resurrection of the demon. This fate is more tragic than himself.
Wait... Then, I've driven me out of the house anyway. Wouldn't it be safer for her plan to kill me without me?
Ed suddenly discovered another strange place. The prophecy only explained the physical conditions and time required for the resurrection of the devil, but did not explain the location. Of course, most people may instinctively believe that the place of resurrection should also be the territory of the Krafal family, but in order to ensure that everything is foolproof, they should also kill themselves immediately.
You are right. In fact, she did send someone to kill you at the beginning, but as I said just now, there were also different opinions within their sects. According to the captive information, another wave of believers was secretly protecting you until you were taken to the slave merchant's carriage and thrown away.
Ed never thought that his life was given like this. He lay on the table and sighed. It seemed that the problem surrounding him and the devil of lust was definitely not as simple as before, but this question could only be buried in his heart. At least he could not talk to his sister in front of him.
Then what happened? What happened to the men in the family who lost their fertility?
Maybe the previous information was too amazing for him, Ed forgot that some of the sisters who were really going to talk about hadn't started talking about it yet...
Oh...yes, so later, according to that prophecy, Mixueer and her lustful demon sect began to hold the resurrection ceremony of the devil with her fifth brother's body three years ago
Did they really do it?
Of course Ed was very curious about the success or failure of this so-called ritual, because it was closely related to his current identity. The blurred sense of identity between humans and demons may be obtained from here. Yes, they really believed the prophecy and held a secret ceremony in the family castle. When my father realized something was wrong and called me back from the holy city, it was too late. They didn't know where they got the ashes of the lustful demon king, and used magic to make the ashes and the fifth brother merged together.
Then what?
Ed was getting more and more anxious, because of course there would be no information about his death in the Demon King's memory, so naturally I don't know whether the ashes are true or not. I just hope my sister can continue to talk about it quickly.
Then the fifth brother's body completely lost his human form and turned into a monster that looked terrifying and a bit disgusting. Then Mixueer and her fellow disciples thought this was what the Demon King looked like after he was resurrected. They started to cheer wildly, and later took the monster away while our strength had not yet gathered.
Speaking of this, Rena's expression became very serious. The fifth brother was a little introverted and was not close to most people in the family, but after all, he was his younger brother. It seemed that the impact on this sister was still a big blow.
The fifth brother... has turned into a monster... then... is it considered successful resurrection?
Ed was somewhat unexpected about such a development, and even made him question his demonic identity. If the fifth brother's resurrection ceremony was considered successful, then what would he be now?
But his sister's next words made him feel a little relieved...
I personally think it should not be successful, because I have read the lustful demon introduced in the devil's classics before. Although he is a big demon, he is a handsome and elegant human-shaped demon. He occasionally likes to turn into a wolf or a snake, but it is definitely not... the appearance of the fifth brother at that time, so he can... cannot be regarded as... a creature, you can tell if you have seen it.
But didn't those church members and Michelle think they were successful...
No one knew what she thought inside at that time. After all, she was also a career that had been working hard for her life. Even if she knew that she had failed in her heart, she had to tell herself that she had succeeded. Her laughter at that time... made me feel that she was a little crazy...
Although I did not experience the situation at that time personally, from my sister's description, Ed could also imagine the woman's reaction at that time. In order to resurrect the lustful demon king himself, Mixue'er used her son as a sacrifice and also devoted almost her life to the death. Even if she really failed...
She would never admit it...
So it seems that everything happened at home is related to this incident?
Well, since then, Mixue'er and her fifth brother have disappeared. My father thought that he had not caused any major losses to the family, so he didn't care about arresting him, but later... the problem gradually emerged.
That's... what you said before... men are infertile?
That's right... You also know that the atmosphere in our family is very lewd. It's normal for men and women to mess around with each other, so there are many pregnancy and other things. Anyway, there are alchemists... If you want to have a child, you can have a child, and you can have a child without a child. Although I am very opposed to being a Paladin...
Lena seemed to feel that she was a little off topic, so she paused and continued...
But since that resurrection ceremony, no woman in the family has ever been pregnant. She will never get pregnant no matter how she does it. Later, some maids easily get pregnant when playing with men outside. Only then do they know that there is something wrong...
It seems... it was the influence of the monster that the fifth brother turned into, or... it was a curse.
Hum... Maybe it's true, anyway... the guards, servants, cooks in the family, and the men at home that night were affected, and the most unlucky ones... were all the male members, including their father, were lucky.
In other words...my brothers, their sons...that is, my nephews, all...can't have children anymore?
Well... I don't know what happened that night, but there weren't even one of them going out for a trip. All the men in the house except you happened to be at home. It's really... the worst joke the goddess made
Ed finally understood the reason why my sister said before that no man could inherit the title. After all, if there are so many men but no one can have children, then the inheritance of the nobles' bloodline is useless, that is to say...
If you don't find yourself, the orthodox male bloodline of the Krafal family will be cut off
Then my father still has many illegitimate children outside, it really doesn't work... Just choose one casually Ah
It’s not that you don’t know your father’s character. He attaches great importance to the reputation of the family, so it is absolutely impossible for an illegitimate son to inherit the title. If you have so many men in the family, you still have to let the illegitimate son inherit it, that’s too suspicious. This matter can be said to be a big scandal in the family, and no one wants to let the outside world know about it.
So... you guys were lucky enough to find me at this time
Haha... It's true, in short... the family has finally maintained a glimmer of hope for continuing their bloodline because of you, otherwise they can only continue to beg Your Majesty to change the law and let us daughters inherit the family business. Of course, we know that you will definitely be dissatisfied, so... the family will try their best to make up for the mistakes they made against you before, Ed...
After hearing what his sister said, Ed didn't know whether to cry or laugh. Because of the influence of the power of the devil of lust, he could only give birth to a daughter but not a son. Judging from the father's goal of inheriting the title and continuing the family, he could only end up disappointed, because even if he inherited the title of Duke, there would still be no boy in the next generation to inherit it. In short...
The Crafal family seems to have indeed been cursed in this generation
This is the case, so my father simply asked an illegitimate child to give him a title. Ah. There are so many boys in the family, and no one will be surprised that suddenly there is one more. Why is he so... he can't turn his mind.
You also know that all the illegitimate children of my father were born with women outside, so no one can be sure whether they were his children. They were all those women who came to ask the alchemist to identify them. The father who was the biological father recognized them, but... since he learned that you were framed by the alchemist, he no longer trusted the alchemist, so... it was impossible.
Alas... what's this all called a thing?
Ed originally thought that no matter what happened in the family, it had nothing to do with him, but it seemed...
Things will always move towards places you can't imagine. Your own experience is completely consistent with the prophecies of that sect, which is absolutely impossible to be a simple coincidence. Is it a tease of fate or a conspiracy behind it...
Ed knew he might not be out of the matter yet...
Sister...this matter is a bit incredible. Give me some more time to think about it...
Well! It doesn't matter, as long as... you are willing to call my sister... that's fine, by the way! I'll give this necklace to you first. If you want to go home in the future, the people over there will know your identity.
What Lena gave her was a special necklace that only the family members had. The exquisite workmanship was basically impossible to imitate or fake. The ruby in the middle was also valuable. When Ed was a child, he also had a string of this necklace. Of course, he was taken back before he was kicked out of the house. Now it seems that they have made a new one for themselves.
Well... I accepted it, but I shouldn't go back so soon
Just as Ed was about to get up, Rena suddenly said something that made him a little worried...
Ed, I don’t know if I’m so careful, sister. You always exudes a demonic aura. Is it true that everyone in the steel wall fortress is like this?
Ed was a little surprised. He had overwhelmed the influence of the demon in his body, and it was impossible for ordinary clergy to find flaws. Her sister could actually feel it...
There is indeed something beyond ordinary people to be a paladin as a woman
I have been in the foggy forest for more than three years, and the blood on my body has been mixed with the demons. It is normal for you to feel this way
Is that right? I heard that even if the fortress survives, it is generally difficult for people to return to normal social life. It seems that you have no influence at all. It's so great
……
After that, Ed left the club with his sister, and came to the moat alone, and drove back to his island by boat. Compared to the last demon's palace raid, what happened today was the most thrilling thing after he was discharged from the army, so he needed to calm down and think about his future.
As for Ed, Earl Gauss just said that if I handed my granddaughter over to you, it was Ferner's mother-in-law, the cute lady Ninian, told Ed a lot of things that were there or not. It felt like Ed thought that this future mother-in-law planned to move to her island with her daughter. It seemed that she really couldn't bear to leave Ferner...
After sending out a few nobles to meet up with him and chatting with Enrique for a while, Ed and Firner found some time to leave the palace...
Then... Ed, I think I'll stay on your island in three days, that... Can you pick me up from our house?
As soon as Firner walked out of the palace gate, he told his new fiancé about his plan. It seemed that she was in a hurry to move over than Ed.
I'm so anxious, I can't tell that I'm really charming in your heart. Don't worry... I'll pick you up early in the morning.
What a beauty! I just... I just want to meet Alvin and Helena, and... I like the hot springs on your island, and it has nothing to do with you! Humph! Goodbye!
Oh... I also got into trouble with her if I say something about myself. It's really... I'm rare to be gentle to me today. This girl's temper is really elusive...
Looking at Ferner's back as he was gone, Ed could only say this with a self-deprecating voice. He was a little worried and wanted to send the lady back, but soon several guards followed Ferner and made him give up his plan.
Ah... Big sister, do you have something to say?
With Ed's inexplicable words, Rena also emerged from behind the stone wall. It seemed that she had not intended her brother to discover it.
Really, I planned to follow you secretly, but I didn't expect to find out when I left the door
Please... I have been a scout in the fortress for so long. How many people in this world can follow me? Ah, and you are a Paladin at least, so don't do such boring things, okay?
Lena laughed even happier by Ed's lesson. After saying a few words to the guards around her, she walked over alone.
Then... Since Ed has grown up so old, would it be nice to take a walk with his sister?
It doesn't matter
The siblings who had not seen each other for ten years were walking side by side around the palace. They seemed to have something to say, so they both walked to a place with few people. Finally, they came to a corner without anyone. After confirming that no one around was eavesdropping, Lena spoke first.
Ed... Look at you, you really don't want to go home, right?
Sister... Don't make a mistake, my home is now the capital of the emperor, and there is no problem of not returning to it
Huh, it seems that I can't persuade you anymore. Your child has only this stubborn temper for so many years.
Now, let me tell me what happened at home. My father came to the capital this time on the grounds of attending Princess Milia's wedding. It was absolutely impossible for him to come to me specifically because he heard the rumors. It should be said that you were just looking for me by the way. The real purpose was to discuss with the royal family?
Listening to Ed's calm analysis without family affection, Rena's expression became more and more serious, but what made her even more confused was that Ed's inference was absolutely correct.

This so-called truth made Ed want to laugh at the first time, but soon felt the big problem. After thinking about it, he had no idea.
No...that's not what it means, going to bed... sex is OK, but it's just... it can't make a woman pregnant. No matter how she tried, it would be useless. He gave up.
The same is true for my older brothers and younger brothers?
Well... it's better to say...this happens to your family this time...it's the reason for your brother
Sister... It seems that the question this time is not simple. Ah, so just find a place to sit down and chat slowly. I happen to have a good place.
So Ed brought his sister to the Yeyuan Club. When the guard at the door saw him, he immediately greeted the two of them and notified the boss Cram...

Seeing his sister's expression of wanting to kill, Ed quickly pulled the topic.

The two of them sighed at the same time. Lena wanted to find out if there were any drinks in the cupboard, but only alcohol was there. As a paladin, she certainly didn't drink alcohol, so she just poured a glass of water and took a sip, and then continued to tell the situation at home.
Ed... Do you know now who framed you and your mother and were kicked out of the family?
Lena did not tell the story directly, but instead asked Ed a question he didn't like very much.
I don't know, but it's mostly the father's concubines. In order to give their son a better chance to inherit the title, they have too much reason to do so.
Well...that's true, but... it's not a concubine, but Mixue'er
Mixue'er...it's her Ah. Even if her father knows the truth, it shouldn't be easy to say anything, right?
The Michelle mentioned in the two of them was nothing but the wife that Duke Krafal renewed, of course...
Both the siblings here have no blood relationship with her, so they have no feelings or honorifics when talking about it.
Huh... My father really wanted you to inherit the title. After all, you were the smartest among the brothers, so if we think about it now, we would think that she framed you just to let your son seize the inheritance right, but the problem is... My father did not reveal to anyone at that time that he wanted you to inherit the title... Even if she wanted to frame her, she should set her goal on your three brothers.
Reina's words awakened Ed, indeed...
I have always thought that I was framed for so many years because of the inheritance right, but now I think about it...
My father did not take any special care and training for himself back then. Even if he wanted to frame him, he should not have specially targeted himself, who ranked fourth among his brothers. Besides, his mother was quite favored at the time. The mother and son were not the kind of soft persimmons that were casually pinched in the family. It was strange that Michelle took such a big risk to frame him.
Michelle spent so much effort to bribe the alchemist in the family to create fake evidence, making everyone think that I am not the father's biological child... There must be a reliable reason to do this, or is she just thinking that we are unhappy with our mother and son, so she would drive us away no matter what?
This was also the strange place we had at that time, until later... we discovered a cult hiding behind her...
Cult?
Well... It is a sect called the Lust Demon Sect. Although it is not large in scale, it has a long history. The believers in it worship a great demon called the Lust Demon Sect. However, because this Lust Demon Sect was destroyed by other demons in the abyss a long time ago, this sect has not been taken too seriously for a long time.
Hearing this, Ed almost sprayed out the fruit wine he had just drunk. Unexpectedly, such a sect suddenly appeared. He only knew that the Emperor Capital also had such an organization, which was led by the slutty woman Ophelia, but he really didn't expect that there were also a group in his hometown. It seemed that his identity as a demon was quite a big impact.
Well... Then... what does this lust demon sect have to do with me being framed?
Ed stabilized his emotions. He knew that the next words would be very important no matter what, and he would never let his sister see some of his flaws.
Ah...that...we later caught a certain believer and used means to force some information to come up with some information. It seemed that there was a prophecy in their sect that the lustful devil would choose a man from our family in this era. When he was 22 years old, he borrowed his body to resurrect. The time of resurrection was three years ago...
When Ed heard this, he felt like a bolt from the blue in his mind, as if countless flying demons were flying around his heart, three years ago...
Isn't it when I was captured by the demon and transformed my body? To be precise, the lustful demon king was indeed resurrected in his body at that time, but it was not that the demon king himself resurrected, but that he inherited his power, and...
I was indeed 22 years old at that time, which was a bit coincidental
Ed... Are you okay, your face is a little bad? Do you don't like the topics related to the demons?
No... nothing, I just remember the unpleasantness on the battlefield before, sister, please continue to talk
Lena seemed to believe Ed's statement and did not feel too suspicious about her younger brother's reaction. At the same time, she also made herself rethink her thinking. After both parties were silent for a while, Lena began to continue talking...
You should have thought of it. According to that prophecy, there are only two men in our family who meet the conditions for resurrection of this lustful devil king in terms of age. One is you and the other is the fifth brother...
According to Ed's intelligence, he should have reacted immediately, but he obviously hadn't recovered from the shock just now. It was not until his sister reminded him that the reason for the matter was roughly clarified...
His fifth brother is the only brother in the family who is the same age as him, and the mother of this fifth brother is the Mixueer I mentioned before, so everything is clear
What you mean is that Mixueer framed me out of the family not for inheritance, but because of... the prophecy of the resurrection of the devil?
Yes, she seems to be a senior executive of the Lust Demon Sect, and she has great ambitions. Her biggest wish is to make her son the carrier of the resurrection of the Demon King. However, it is said that there are another part of their sect, who also meets the conditions, and you are the real resurrection candidate for the Demon King, which has always been worried.
Worrying that I will steal her son’s identity as a devil? This... is so ridiculous!
But it was probably a kind of honor for her. It is said that she had spent a lot of effort to seduce her father in order to marry her father, and she chose the opportunity to get pregnant. It is said that she also used certain alchemy and spells to control the gender of the fetus in her body. Now it seems that everything is for the so-called prophecy of the resurrection of the devil.
Ed suddenly felt very ironic. The woman tried her best to drive herself out of the house in order to prevent herself from becoming a devil's reincarnation. Unexpectedly, she finally gained that power thousands of miles away from her hometown. This is not so much a coincidence, but rather...
There is a certain power of fate guiding it, but at the same time, it is even more sympathetic to my fifth brother. Although his relationship with that brother is not very good, the purpose of being born by his mother is to be a container for the resurrection of the demon. This fate is more tragic than himself.
Wait... Then, I've driven me out of the house anyway. Wouldn't it be safer for her plan to kill me without me?
Ed suddenly discovered another strange place. The prophecy only explained the physical conditions and time required for the resurrection of the devil, but did not explain the location. Of course, most people may instinctively believe that the place of resurrection should also be the territory of the Krafal family, but in order to ensure that everything is foolproof, they should also kill themselves immediately.
You are right. In fact, she did send someone to kill you at the beginning, but as I said just now, there were also different opinions within their sects. According to the captive information, another wave of believers was secretly protecting you until you were taken to the slave merchant's carriage and thrown away.
Ed never thought that his life was given like this. He lay on the table and sighed. It seemed that the problem surrounding him and the devil of lust was definitely not as simple as before, but this question could only be buried in his heart. At least he could not talk to his sister in front of him.
Then what happened? What happened to the men in the family who lost their fertility?
Maybe the previous information was too amazing for him, Ed forgot that some of the sisters who were really going to talk about hadn't started talking about it yet...
Oh...yes, so later, according to that prophecy, Mixueer and her lustful demon sect began to hold the resurrection ceremony of the devil with her fifth brother's body three years ago
Did they really do it?
Of course Ed was very curious about the success or failure of this so-called ritual, because it was closely related to his current identity. The blurred sense of identity between humans and demons may be obtained from here. Yes, they really believed the prophecy and held a secret ceremony in the family castle. When my father realized something was wrong and called me back from the holy city, it was too late. They didn't know where they got the ashes of the lustful demon king, and used magic to make the ashes and the fifth brother merged together.
Then what?
Ed was getting more and more anxious, because of course there would be no information about his death in the Demon King's memory, so naturally I don't know whether the ashes are true or not. I just hope my sister can continue to talk about it quickly.
Then the fifth brother's body completely lost his human form and turned into a monster that looked terrifying and a bit disgusting. Then Mixueer and her fellow disciples thought this was what the Demon King looked like after he was resurrected. They started to cheer wildly, and later took the monster away while our strength had not yet gathered.
Speaking of this, Rena's expression became very serious. The fifth brother was a little introverted and was not close to most people in the family, but after all, he was his younger brother. It seemed that the impact on this sister was still a big blow.
The fifth brother... has turned into a monster... then... is it considered successful resurrection?
Ed was somewhat unexpected about such a development, and even made him question his demonic identity. If the fifth brother's resurrection ceremony was considered successful, then what would he be now?
But his sister's next words made him feel a little relieved...
I personally think it should not be successful, because I have read the lustful demon introduced in the devil's classics before. Although he is a big demon, he is a handsome and elegant human-shaped demon. He occasionally likes to turn into a wolf or a snake, but it is definitely not... the appearance of the fifth brother at that time, so he can... cannot be regarded as... a creature, you can tell if you have seen it.
But didn't those church members and Michelle think they were successful...
No one knew what she thought inside at that time. After all, she was also a career that had been working hard for her life. Even if she knew that she had failed in her heart, she had to tell herself that she had succeeded. Her laughter at that time... made me feel that she was a little crazy...
Although I did not experience the situation at that time personally, from my sister's description, Ed could also imagine the woman's reaction at that time. In order to resurrect the lustful demon king himself, Mixue'er used her son as a sacrifice and also devoted almost her life to the death. Even if she really failed...
She would never admit it...
So it seems that everything happened at home is related to this incident?
Well, since then, Mixue'er and her fifth brother have disappeared. My father thought that he had not caused any major losses to the family, so he didn't care about arresting him, but later... the problem gradually emerged.
That's... what you said before... men are infertile?
That's right... You also know that the atmosphere in our family is very lewd. It's normal for men and women to mess around with each other, so there are many pregnancy and other things. Anyway, there are alchemists... If you want to have a child, you can have a child, and you can have a child without a child. Although I am very opposed to being a Paladin...
Lena seemed to feel that she was a little off topic, so she paused and continued...
But since that resurrection ceremony, no woman in the family has ever been pregnant. She will never get pregnant no matter how she does it. Later, some maids easily get pregnant when playing with men outside. Only then do they know that there is something wrong...
It seems... it was the influence of the monster that the fifth brother turned into, or... it was a curse.
Hum... Maybe it's true, anyway... the guards, servants, cooks in the family, and the men at home that night were affected, and the most unlucky ones... were all the male members, including their father, were lucky.
In other words...my brothers, their sons...that is, my nephews, all...can't have children anymore?
Well... I don't know what happened that night, but there weren't even one of them going out for a trip. All the men in the house except you happened to be at home. It's really... the worst joke the goddess made
Ed finally understood the reason why my sister said before that no man could inherit the title. After all, if there are so many men but no one can have children, then the inheritance of the nobles' bloodline is useless, that is to say...
If you don't find yourself, the orthodox male bloodline of the Krafal family will be cut off
Then my father still has many illegitimate children outside, it really doesn't work... Just choose one casually Ah
It’s not that you don’t know your father’s character. He attaches great importance to the reputation of the family, so it is absolutely impossible for an illegitimate son to inherit the title. If you have so many men in the family, you still have to let the illegitimate son inherit it, that’s too suspicious. This matter can be said to be a big scandal in the family, and no one wants to let the outside world know about it.
So... you guys were lucky enough to find me at this time
Haha... It's true, in short... the family has finally maintained a glimmer of hope for continuing their bloodline because of you, otherwise they can only continue to beg Your Majesty to change the law and let us daughters inherit the family business. Of course, we know that you will definitely be dissatisfied, so... the family will try their best to make up for the mistakes they made against you before, Ed...
After hearing what his sister said, Ed didn't know whether to cry or laugh. Because of the influence of the power of the devil of lust, he could only give birth to a daughter but not a son. Judging from the father's goal of inheriting the title and continuing the family, he could only end up disappointed, because even if he inherited the title of Duke, there would still be no boy in the next generation to inherit it. In short...
The Crafal family seems to have indeed been cursed in this generation
This is the case, so my father simply asked an illegitimate child to give him a title. Ah. There are so many boys in the family, and no one will be surprised that suddenly there is one more. Why is he so... he can't turn his mind.
You also know that all the illegitimate children of my father were born with women outside, so no one can be sure whether they were his children. They were all those women who came to ask the alchemist to identify them. The father who was the biological father recognized them, but... since he learned that you were framed by the alchemist, he no longer trusted the alchemist, so... it was impossible.
Alas... what's this all called a thing?
Ed originally thought that no matter what happened in the family, it had nothing to do with him, but it seemed...
Things will always move towards places you can't imagine. Your own experience is completely consistent with the prophecies of that sect, which is absolutely impossible to be a simple coincidence. Is it a tease of fate or a conspiracy behind it...
Ed knew he might not be out of the matter yet...
Sister...this matter is a bit incredible. Give me some more time to think about it...
Well! It doesn't matter, as long as... you are willing to call my sister... that's fine, by the way! I'll give this necklace to you first. If you want to go home in the future, the people over there will know your identity.
What Lena gave her was a special necklace that only the family members had. The exquisite workmanship was basically impossible to imitate or fake. The ruby in the middle was also valuable. When Ed was a child, he also had a string of this necklace. Of course, he was taken back before he was kicked out of the house. Now it seems that they have made a new one for themselves.
Well... I accepted it, but I shouldn't go back so soon
Just as Ed was about to get up, Rena suddenly said something that made him a little worried...
Ed, I don’t know if I’m so careful, sister. You always exudes a demonic aura. Is it true that everyone in the steel wall fortress is like this?
Ed was a little surprised. He had overwhelmed the influence of the demon in his body, and it was impossible for ordinary clergy to find flaws. Her sister could actually feel it...
There is indeed something beyond ordinary people to be a paladin as a woman
I have been in the foggy forest for more than three years, and the blood on my body has been mixed with the demons. It is normal for you to feel this way
Is that right? I heard that even if the fortress survives, it is generally difficult for people to return to normal social life. It seems that you have no influence at all. It's so great
……
After that, Ed left the club with his sister, and came to the moat alone, and drove back to his island by boat. Compared to the last demon's palace raid, what happened today was the most thrilling thing after he was discharged from the army, so he needed to calm down and think about his future.
