Primordial Soul's Rebirth

Alex stared at the subservient girl in front of him, and he sighed again.

Now he would have to change the plans a bit.

If she was the plot armor that was supposed to save Rohrg, then Alex didn't have a choice but to let him live, but that was only if her offer or proposal was something he could go on with.

Why did Alex sigh? And why will he have to change his plans?

"Voidheart?"

Alex, who already knew who Seraphyra was, frowned in confusion as he muttered to himself.

He knew who she was and what she was here for, but no one else knew, so he went on and played the oblivious role.

In the next moment, however, the frown on his head vanished, and his eyes brightened in realization.

"Is she your granddaughter??"

Alex's eyes turned toward Azaroth as he questioned him in a surprised tone.

Age approximation was not a hard thing for epic rankers or higher.

They could guess the age of people just by looking at their bodies, though the one they are studying must be weaker than them, or this won't work.

"Huh?"

Azaroth, who was busy sorting out his thoughts, almost jumped in surprise when he heard Alex's voice.

But then Alex's question settled in his mind, and he couldn't help but have a warm smile form on his face.

"Yes…."

Azaroth paused, and his eyes, filled with love, moved toward Seraphyra before he added.

"She is the only family I am left with, my lord."

The way the demon ancestor looked at Seraphyra and the way his voice dripped with familial love were enough for Alex to know what Azaroth would choose when given the choice of love and duty.

This only solidified Alex's decision as he grew serious inwardly.

This was the reason for Alex's sighing and changing his plans.

He could just kill Seraphyra and be done with it.

To hell with the plot armor, nothing could survive in front of power.

If he did that, however, then Azaroth would protect Seraphyra, knowing full well that Alex tried to kill her even though he knew that she was his, the demon ancestor's granddaughter.

After that, there were three ways things could progress; first, Azaroth, who was now declared a traitor for going against the demon lord, ran away with Seraphyra, wanting to preserve whatever little of his loyalty to Alex was left.

Second, he could simply kill Alex for trying to slay his daughter in a fit of anger, and although Sophia was there to help Alex, our main character didn't want that.

He wanted to handle this matter himself.

Now the third, here, the demon ancestor, who is also the master of the four demon generals, would simply ask them to denounce Alex from the demon lord's position.

With that, however, Alex would lose all of his authority, making his words worth nothing.

Alex didn't want to see any of those happening.

"I see, I see…"

He nodded his head at Azaroth's words, wanting to play it safe and listen to what Seraphyra had to say.

The demons standing in the throne room, however, couldn't help but gasp in surprise and shock.

"Isn't she the leading demon lord candidate, Seraphyra Voidheart?!"

One demon exclaimed in shock, unable to believe that he would see her here.

"Yeah, na only she be the demon lord candidate wey don almost reach epic-ranker level."

A gay demon licked his lips while looking at the ass of the demon from before as he answered that guy's question.

The demon in question shivered in fright, moving away from the gay demon, but the gay demon followed him.

The others ignored that interaction and continued with their own opinions and thoughts.

"I t'ought she never left the trainin' room 'less it was absolutely necessary."

Another demon muttered with a taunting expression, still not believing that she didn't attend an important event such as the demon lord's coronation.

"Yeah, it was said that she was trying to move forward in her path of power."

Another demon, however, as if thinking that the one before him was seriously stating those words, agreed with his words and added his own point.

"Mate, this is the Demon Lord's coronation ceremony; you reckon it's not a necessary occasion?"

A lady demon shook her head in mocking disbelief, causing a vein to pop on the other demon's head, but he stayed quiet.

"Wait!"

Suddenly, another lady demon exclaimed.

"The demon ancestor said that she's his granddaughter…"

"....."

With those words, silence descended in the throne room.

"Everyone knew that there was someone backing her up—someone strong; after all, anyone who tried to have ill intentions towards her died a mysterious death."

A demon shook his head with a disbelieving expression before he continued.

"Who would've thought that the demon ancestor, someone so powerful that even the dukes seemed to be oblivious to his presence, was her grandfather?"

"..."

Again, no one said anything at that.

Everyone finally realized how big of a revelation that was.

The demons were exclaiming and shouting among themselves, but as they were in the throne room, it was all hushed.

For the ears of strong demons, however, it was as clear as it could be.

Alex nodded inwardly, noting each and every point before he turned to look at Seraphyra.

"Rise."

Alex uttered those words as he saw Seraphyra, who had her head bowed until now, waiting for Alex's command, finally lift her head.

The other reason for Alex to change his decision was that he knew that Seraphyra, who seemed more loyal to the demon lord than any other, wouldn't try to stop him if she didn't have a valid point.

"So, what is the important matter that could make you come all the way here and ask me to stop?"

Alex raised a brow as he looked at Seraphyra, who was trying not to look at Alex's divine contour.

"Ah, that…"

But before Seraphyra, who, after a lot of effort, tried to look into Alex's eyes, could speak a word, Alex added.

"Don't worry. I won't ask you why you were not present at a small event like the demon lord's coronation; it's not that important."

His words were unbothered and dismissive, as if he really didn't care, but both Azaroth and Seraphyra had their bodies tense.

The demon generals, on the other hand, had a complicated expression.

They were now thinking of their next steps.

If their master, the demon ancestor, were to go against Alex, the demon lord, then who should they follow?

They were stuck between a rock and a hard place.

They didn't know which path they should take.

Should they side with their master as their heart desires, or should they side with the demon lord as they were taught to?

One of them, however, was delighted by the situation, and he was looking forward to the unfolding of the problem they were thinking about.

That way, he, Nyxshadow Dusmire, the fourth demon general, would be able to freely kill Alex.

'Hehehehe!'

Nyx giggled inwardly, gripping his dagger tightly, really hoping for what the other demon generals feared to come true.
