Demon King Dad

"Okay, princess. We're leaving tomorrow. That's the end of today. Let's go back to the mayor's mansion and rest. Otherwise, we will be exhausted tomorrow."

She smirked and began to persuade the little princess. Although Walnut was reluctant to do so, he could only take off his skis and poles and send them back to the rental house. But just when she and An were about to leave the ski resort...

"Huh? Idiot? What's the matter?"

Walnut turned around, and saw that the idiot who had just bowed his head and was about to go down the mountain was at the end at this moment. He turned his head and looked behind the three of them. The dark pupils stared at the only focal point.

"Huh...huh...huh..."

Kona Gusno.

She gasped gently, with a little sweat on her face. The pregnant woman hugged her belly and hurriedly came behind everyone.

"Huh...huh...Princess..."

Seeing Kena, the smile on Walnut's face couldn't help but slowly fade. Although this girl is very good at persuading herself not to hate others, resent others. But she still couldn't convince herself to like this woman. Now Gaia is dead. The enemy who killed her husband has been buried in the cemetery north of Yinjuan Town. What is she thinking now? What else do you want to say?

"Call...Princess." Kena wiped the sweat from her forehead and straightened her waist. There was a little shame on her face. After hesitating for a long time, she finally said, a little scared, "Princess...Excuse me, can I ask you to rest there?"

The place Kona pointed to was a barbecue house.

"I have something... want to say."

——————————————————————————————————

The wooden panel exudes a faint rosin fragrance, and the warm heat from the charcoal fire in the fireplace makes this small box very warm. The charcoal stove is placed in the middle of a hollow stone table. Several plates of raw beef and mutton are stacked on the stone table. The barbecue grill on the charcoal stove is slowly turned over in the hands of An. Occasionally, a drop of meat juice will fall into the bottom. The charcoal fire made a soft creak.

However, none of the people sitting here are in the mood to enjoy this delicious meal. An was just flipping the barbecue grill and did not eat. Walnut took off his ski shirt and sat on the seat in a thin shirt with a serious look. Kena was still wearing her scarf, her eyes staring at the red charcoal in the stove. The idiot was sitting in the corner holding a small bread that looked a little restless.

"What do you want to say?"

After a bunch of meat was finally charred, he frowned and put it in his mouth for a bite before Walnut spoke. To be honest, she still can't make herself like this pregnant woman.

Kena frowned and seemed to be thinking about some very complicated things. After a while, she breathed out slowly and took off the hourglass necklace from her neck.

"Princess, do you know what this is?"

"......You have shown it to me, and I said I have never seen this thing."

Walnut's words seemed to make Kera's facial expression visibly shaken, but she soon recovered her calm. The woman put the hourglass on the stone table, looked at the sand that continued to leak, and it seemed that there would never be an end, and slowly said——

"This is an artifact left over from the last era, the'Hourglass of Destiny'. Since this artifact has not appeared more than 3 times in the world, there are few clues left. However, it is real. In the grave After being buried for thousands of years, toss and turns, now it is in my hands."

Artifact? ? ?

Hearing this word, Dimie opened the blood pupil with great interest, and with a bit of sarcasm, looked at Ke Na over there through the chain.

"You said... this is a divine tool?"

Walnut swallowed and said.

"Yes. This hourglass wants to connect with my destiny. In normal times, this thing is useless at all, and its real use is only one. It is to link the lives of two human beings, so that all the pains suffered by the two of them will be included. Take it alone. At the same time..."

"If the person suffering from the pain dies with fate connected, then that person's soul will be sucked into the hourglass. Then before the soul burns out, I will not only suffer any substantial harm. . And also can not be troubled by any disease, carefree."

"Wait a minute, you won't suffer any substantial harm? What do you mean?"

Anan was a little confused, and quickly stopped Kena from continuing.

"It means that although some small wounds are still possible, there will never be any fatal attacks on me. For example..."

Kena pointed to the bones lying in the corner of the room--

"Miss An, you can stab me with this gun. I can assure you that I will never be killed by your spear."

"Well..."

Depressed to touch the bones in his hand, there is still no such guts to make a shot. She scratched her hair, smiled perfunctorily.

"………………Wait."

Suddenly, the idiot who had been just listening suddenly spoke. Because he doesn't speak much, Kena almost forgets the boy. Now suddenly stared at by his dark eyes, Ke Na couldn't help but shudder.

"You mean...the souls of others...?"

Dimie hehe smiled: "Interesting. Use the soul as fuel to fill in items for tempering. Humans in the Second Age have done such things, and humans in the Third Age have still done such things. Human beings still do. I really don’t have the ability to learn~~~! Hey, interesting."

At this point, Kena's expression suddenly dimmed. She lowered her head, her body trembled slightly, and gradually, a drop of liquid slipped from her cheek...

"Yes...the soul that is now boarding in this hourglass is my husband, the mother of the child in my stomach, the person I love the most in my life..."

"Former Black Dragon Empire Knight, King of Sword Emperor-Gaia Kan."

In an instant, there was silence in the private room.

Walnut's mouth was open, and his jaw was almost dislocated.

He squeezed the barbecue grill, even though the meat had turned into coke, he didn't turn it over.

Ke Na is calm, but her calmness looks a little scary at the moment.

Little Bread lay on the stone table, looking at Kena, and then at the idiot. He touched the hourglass with his fingers and played carefully.

In the scene, maybe only the idiot still kept the coldness just now. Quietly... retracted into his corner.

In this case, the doubt is half solved.

What happened in this small town has already been initially seen.

So next, there should be some introductions and clues that led to these reasons...

Ke Na ignored the sound of the crowd. She looked at the little bread that continued to play with the hourglass, and the corner of her mouth raised a bitter smile. She stroked her belly and slowly said——

"Whether you believe it or not, Gaia and I have been the best since we were young. When he first came to my house, he was very hostile to everyone. Several times... I saw him withdrawn and wanted to approach him, but he was completely Scratch with broken glass..."

As she recalled, Kena smiled at the corner of her mouth.

"I don’t blame him. If it’s me, I’m afraid I’ll never imagine what it will be like after losing my father and becoming an orphan. Therefore, I always make him happy from time to time and find delicious food for him. Eat, take him to fun places to play together. Over time... he finally agreed to talk to me."

"He has lived in my house for nearly ten years. His sword practice is very good, and his personality has gradually become more cheerful. I found out that he is actually a boy who likes to laugh very much. He always stands for him. Others share their worries and will always stand up for their friends. Several times I was taught by my father, and he thought of ways to make me happy. Thinking about it now, those days were really beautiful...very beautiful..."

squeak------

The gravy dripped, and the coal made a crisp sound again. Through the red charcoal fire, Kona tilted her head, and two red blushes appeared on her face. Like a girl of first love, she was intoxicated.

"But unfortunately, the good times don't last long..."

As soon as the conversation turned, Kena's voice turned into a grudge.

"The stag and the black dragon gradually became hostile, and his father drove him back. When he heard from him again, he had become a hero against the stag aggression, galloping on the battlefield. Seriously, I really didn't know at that time. I should cheer for someone more. I don’t know if I am happy or disappointed whenever I hear of his near-death attack that sabotages the Bucks’ army. Amidst the contradictions and worries, I spent the six months."

"Which girl does not want her husband to be a hero? And which girl does not want her lover to be embraced by all? But every girl knows that what she wants most is her husband to come back safely without any harm ..."

Hearing this, Walnut glanced at the idiot next to him secretly. Somehow, she suddenly started to feel a little resonance... Yeah, who wouldn't want her boyfriend, husband, and husband to be a hero? Is he a man who can take him out and be able to enjoy great scenery?

"but……"

But Na sighed.

"He is the hero of the enemy country, not the stag."

"In November last year, he appeared in Silverroll Town. At that time, he was wounded and came here with 30 people sleepy. Maybe... I will never be able to tell you exactly what my mood was at that time. How excited."

"I took him in. I took care of the injuries of their group. Although my father had told me many times that he would drive him away when his injuries healed, I still kept him. At that time, he had been too many. I wanted to return to the battlefield again, but I was forcibly stopped."

"At that time, the half-year-long war was over. After Gaia learned that the black dragon was completely destroyed, his whole body seemed to have lost his backbone. In the months after that, he started to get a little wrong. , I became suspicious even more. At that time, I had been pregnant with his flesh and blood for three months. But he just left me like this and led his subordinates to...go..."

But Na gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind--

"He... went to slaughter the seabird harbor... to all."

At this point, Kena seemed to be collapsed.
