The Fate Of The World Is In My Hands, But All I Want To Do Is Eat! - Chapter 244

Chapter 244: I know for sure that she never took in Demon blood Chapter 244: I know for sure that she never took in Demon blood So, if it was all planned out perfectly by her and she wasn’t aiming for him, whose existence she was unaware of…

then who was she warning Alice about?

Someone by their side?

Someone mysterious?

As soon as Leo thought that, a person came to mind.

That masked man who never showed his face, not even when he was going to kiss Alice.

What was Michael’s connection to the demons?

Did he even have any connection, to begin with?

Leo covered part of his face, his thoughts swirling and confusing him.

“I have no evidence that he’s connected with the demons.” He muttered.

“It’s just speculation.” Just because he had knowledge of so many things and often acted so mysterious and senile, it didn’t mean he was a suspect.

So, what if the person who they had to keep their eyes out for was someone else?

Someone who could wade off all suspicions with his appearance.

Who could it be?

Who could be the suspect?

There were so many people who did not appear suspicious, so he could not start pointing fingers and keeping his guard up around all of them.

Leo massaged his nose bridge.

This was difficult.

Wait, why was he even contemplating the words of a demon in the first place?

For all he knew, she might’ve been pulling their legs, hoping for a conflict to arise among the heroes who would defeat them.

In any case, Lilith never showed up in Alice’s past life.

And as far as he was concerned, the only times Demons showed up were when the calamities struck.

Right at this moment, all these changes were happening because there was someone who was growing so strong that they could rival the calamities and ruin their plans to destroy the world.

He glanced at Alice who was fast asleep, looking like a peaceful child.

He reached for her and caressed her face.

Things weren’t as simple as they seemed and it looked like just waiting for the calamity wouldn’t cut it at all.

They had to do something because it would be a really rough road.

He could feel it.

Several forces were gathering up and they were all aiming for Alice.

For now, she could live like a normal girl, like everyone else, and forget her responsibilities.

But after that…

He slowly and sadly lowered his head…

He hoped she wouldn’t lose anyone else.

He feared that if she lost anymore, it would trigger the pain that weighed her heart in her previous life while she went around smiling.

In this life, he had his doubts that Alice would be able to walk around with a smile on her face if she lost someone dear to her.

She would break and she would never be the same again.

This carefree and cheerful Alice would die along with that person.

‘If sacrifices have to be made this time, it’ll be…’ He shook his head and sighed.

“Well, since this seed was placed in you by Lilith, I think I understand what both sides mean.” He said and got in bed with her, getting under the blanket and hugging her.

Alice instinctively wrapped her arms around him, edging closer and using his chest as her pillow.

‘The red side is a succubus thing.’ He thought.

‘She already has the allure of a woman, but as long as the plant keeps growing, she can bring a nation down with a smile.

It’s dangerous but I don’t think I can do anything about it since it’s not ‘that’ dangerous.’ Yeah, it wasn’t that dangerous to Alice.

The only ones who this change was dangerous for were the men in her life who wanted to monopolize her.

They would have a lot on their plate for sure and at the same time, their feelings would stir too much.

‘Ah, maybe it is dangerous for Alice.

What to do then?

They won’t try to do anything to a minor, will they?’ He closed his eyes, contemplating.

‘Anyway, that’s what the crimson side of the plant is, as for the dark side…’ he frowned.

‘I don’t understand how this is possible.

I did not notice anything like this in her previous life body.

But maybe it’s because of the seed, but I can faintly sense it.

Alice has…

Demon blood flowing through her veins.’ He took a moment to calm himself.

‘I know for sure that she never took in any demon blood.

It disgusts her and she isn’t exactly the type that craves power so much that she would take in Demon blood.

Yet…

It’s still a fact that it’s in her.

And unlike artificially forcing it to blend in one’s body through consumption, it’s a part of her.’ A part of Alice that no one, not even himself knew till recently.

There was only one explanation for something like that.

One of Alice’s parents was a demon.

“Sigh” He was exhausted just thinking about it.

Things were getting so complicated that even the single explanation he came up with seemed almost impossible.

After all, Alice was born before the apocalypse.

So, was it that there were Demons roaming around the world over 17 years ago and one of them just happened to consummate with her mother and have her?

He just assumed it was her father because her mother was definitely a human before the apocalypse.

But, it didn’t make sense, honestly.

What would demons, who hated humans, do roaming around calmly in their midst?

And if that were the case, that is, if it was true, then Alice’s father must’ve been a high-level demon.

An arch demon maybe?

But that was even more impossible to think of.

Why would an arch-demon be with a human?

‘Maybe I’m thinking too much.’ Leo thought and sighed once more.

‘The dark side of the plant is bringing out the presence of Alice’s demon side, which is not good since it’ll make her an even bigger target for the demons.’ He thought but then realized something.

‘But I think with that, they’ll come out faster and she can take them on before the calamity.

Thereby reducing her workload.’ He smiled, thinking that was actually a good idea.

‘If the demon side gets strengthened, that means she’ll get stronger, and even without much training, she can take them all on.’ He wanted to hope that that would be the case.

If it was, then Alice wouldn’t need to do a lot of work to become the savior of the world.

He already pitied her as it was.

All he wanted for her was for her to be a girl who could dare to dream, speak of those dreams and never worry about anything else.

He squeezed her into his embrace and buried his nose in her soft and fragrant hair.

That was all he wished for for her.

‘Don’t worry, Alice.

Once it’s all over, you’ll be free.’ (But…

Will it truly ever be over?) CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Author_fredah That’s not a forboding warning, I swr.

I just don’t know, so I asked the question, haha
