Demon Lord Management Sim Game-Chapter 182 182 – The Same Thing
When the nurse left, my emotions were overflowing, and my tears were about to spill out. However, I endured it. "This is good news."
"Yeah." Lexi smiled again. "I have to do a checkup on those subjects first. But with such a positive result, I'm sure we'll be successful."
Szur patted my arm. "I'm happy for Phisovia. And so you can proceed with your plan, my lord."
"Yeah." I walked to the window, starting to have a hard time holding back the tears. "I can't wait to show her our achievement…."
Damn, my voice is cracking. I hope they both don't notice.
Finally, we see real hope after struggling and waiting for a long time.
Lexi then took a deep breath. "I feel bad for interrupting this moment, but I feel I have to say this now. I've been holding it in for long enough."
I looked at the doctor again with a frown. "What do you mean, Doc? Is this about Phisovia?"
"No, no…. This is different." Lexi shook her head. However, this is no less important, my lord. Especially in our current state."
"Okay, say it, then." I focused on listening to Lexi's explanation.

I entered Phisovia's room and raised an eyebrow when I found Velvet sitting next to the succubus. The dragon lady was combing the red-haired woman.
Apart from that, I also found a basin, dirty clothes, and a rag near the former prophet's feet.
"Good afternoon, my lord." Her tied hair swayed as she turned her head to me. "I just want to get to know lady Phisovia better."
I approached that woman, speechless.
"What's with your expression?" Velvet smiled. "I just cleaned her body, nothing more."
"Well, I won't stop you, my dear." I sighed. In a situation like this, my brain automatically became suspicious of Velvet. Perhaps she has a specific intention to do this.
"As I said, I want to get to know her better." She stroked Phisovia's now protruding cheekbones. "My first impression was that she would be more gorgeous when healthy."
I pulled another chair and sat down, not wanting to think about this anymore. Maybe she really wanted to help, or…
"You feel bored because you have nothing to do, huh?" I chuckled.
She shrugged. "As you know, I don't want to join the war, at least for the time being... Hold a rapier even makes me really sick."
This is normal. For more than a month ago, the pressure she felt was so heavy. She needed rest, but in the end, doing nothing tormented her.
"Talk to Nate after this. I designed a weapon for you, and he will build it." I explained. "It's a rapier, but it's not a rapier. So if you're sick of holding a rapier, maybe you won't get sick of holding a not-so-rapier."
Velvet laughed until her teeth showed; this was the first time I'd seen that. She looks even cuter.
"What the heck are you talking about, my lord?" She was still laughing. "What do you mean by not-so-rapier?"
"That thing can also be used for ranged attacks." I lightly stroked her black and red hair. "I guarantee you won't feel like you're holding an ordinary rapier."
She raised an eyebrow. "And what's with this expression? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I have something important to tell you, my dear."
"And why is your tone like that?" She brought her face closer to mine. "You scared me."
"You've heard of the lost country of Scyonia, right? It's a nation that became a symbol of the success of the elves in the past." I convinced myself to say this before continuing. "I was the one who killed the fairy of the elves so that the nation was destroyed. It's a long story... In short, I was stranded back in time five hundred years ago, and the only way to return is to kill that fairy."
Velvet's eyes widened.
"It was a big sacrifice just so I could return to the future. Many innocents died." I took a deep breath. "And now, I will make amends for my mistake, but…."
I'm having a hard time getting my words across.
"But?" Velvet's lips started to tremble. "But what, my lord?"
"I must make new sacrifices." I flashed a faint smile. "Dr. Lexi has already managed to come up with a method to regenerate the fairy. However, to grow the fairy's body, we need to borrow wombs from other women. We will be using those from various races."
Velvet was silent for a moment. "Why do I feel like there will be dire consequences from this?"
"That's it, Velvet." I hold her hand. "We don't know what the 'mothers' will suffer. Doctor Lexi said it could be excruciating pain or lead to death…." f𝚛e𝚎𝘄𝒆𝚋𝚗𝚘ѵ𝑒𝚕.𝑐𝘰𝑚
The dragon lady got up from her chair, walked away with her back turned to me, then stopped a few feet from the wall.
"You are my wife, so I feel compelled to tell you this," I added.
Velvet massaged her forehead. "I could have argued with you. However, you will still do that no matter what happens, right?"
It's basically like when the government of Ascaind created the super soldier program. They modify many people's bodies to the point of making them suffer.
Yes, like the Mythril infusion that was applied to Candice.
I close my eyes. "Besides making up for my mistake, reviving the fairy will increase all kinds of plant resources. It will solve our food shortage problem and improve the economy…."
To my surprise, she looked at me again and put on a faint smile. "I've also made other people suffer, destroyed their homes, and taken their loved ones…."
"Velvet." I stood up when I saw my wife's tears begin to fall.
"At the very least, you did it with a clear purpose. Even the government of the country of Ascaind had a reason for carrying out the super soldier program…. While I…. I carried out the destruction out of anger and revenge." She wiped away her tears. "If only I could think clearly at that time, I could have done it in another way…. A better way…."
I hug her body. My hand stroked her hair gently. She continued to sob and hug me back.
This is not the right time for me to talk too much. I just need to do something like this, something to show that I will always be there for her.
