Chapter 710
In the end, I was unable to convince Leona to get tied to the cross again…
Cough, this wasn't because I was suddenly going easy on her because she was a woman . It was rather that using her as bait to lure out Karwenz was highly unlikely to succeed now that the trap had already been exposed .
With what Shirvan's church just did, even an idiot would know that there was a trap here now . I had also shown up here with my real appearance, so Karwenz would naturally know that I was here .
In that case, he definitely wouldn't come here unless he was willing to see me .
Recently, I had made it obvious that I was looking for him, yet he still hadn't appeared… Someone like him could actually wait instead of bragging in front of me? That seemed not to match his style at all .
Since this wasn't his style, then what "noble purpose" could possibly cause him to suppress his very nature and hide from me instead? This caused me to worry even more .
Although I had no more hope of luring him in, I definitely wouldn't let go of a clue like Leona .
"Sister-in-law… Leona, the child in your stomach is half mine as well… Don't attack me with your sword! Cat on my head, don't bite me, either! I'm being serious!"
Maybe my words could be misconstrued as somewhat dirty, but I truly wasn't trying to scam anyone here . I was simply spouting rubbish that would fit the nobles' ridiculous social customs .
When a noble family's leader had no descendants, meaning that the family line met an end, then illegitimate children who had been kicked out of the family and so on could be brought back to inherit the position .
Although this sounded rather ridiculous, I indeed had no direct descendants . I was still the oldest son of the Mist Family, and I had no descendants, which meant that I could instead find a relative of mine to be my inheritor .
My younger brother's son, as according to the ridiculous concept of noble heraldry, would indeed by the most appropriate relative to become my inheritor .
According to the nobles' customs as well as laws, I could even refuse to recognize this descendant's mother and father, and steal away this child to raise him as my adopted son… Actually, there were plenty of such examples back on Earth in the Middle Ages . Of course, others would happily go to inherit the family title, while this would be stealing on my part .
"Do you know what the child in your stomach represents? That's my only close relative (rubbish), so you're also half a relative of mine . "
I was acting serious while spouting rubbish to Leona . "Also, do you believe me when I say, if you make me have no descendants, I'll make Shirvan have no descendants?"
Although the nobles really valued so-called bloodline inheritance, I wasn't really much of a noble at all . Rather than bloodline inheritance, I more valued cultural inheritance and a shared way of thinking .
As for the Mist Family? The Mist Kingdom from back then no longer existed, and it was fine how things were now . The current Mist Alliance and East Mist were pretty good, anyways .
Actually, I didn't really care about having descendants or whatever . Reyne and Glina were also descendants of the Mist . Having a direct bloodline inheritance didn't matter as much .
Nor was there any need for me to make someone my descendant, which would only create trouble for me . Who knew how many children Karwenz already had over the years? Although normal Demon Lords wouldn't have many children, it would be strange if he was like any normal Demon Lord .
My true objective was…
"I have two objectives . The first is to steal the right to dissect Leona from Shirvan… Ahem, I mean to possess her . "
Leona was quite special . The more I looked at her, the more I felt this had to be the case . It wasn't only that she was especially beautiful . It was more my instinct and very soul that were telling me this .
Karwenz was indeed quite a pervert . However, flirting with a girl and having a child which would weaken his strength at this time definitely wasn't his style at all .
I then mentioned that I wanted to perform a physical examination on Leona to see if there was anything special about her, but everyone in Shirvan's church suddenly started glaring at me as if I was their greatest mortal enemy and biggest pervert ever .
"…That Roan made the exact same request . He said that he had almost reached Level 4 power level, and that he needed to better understand divine bloodlines . Saintess Leona agreed to his request at the time…"
"And then she got pregnant? I understand . "
I felt rather helpless about all the vigilant glares aimed in my direction . I then wasted another two days trying to convince Leona, and finally got blood and hair samples in the end (although I obtained the samples without consent) . Still, just this alone obviously wouldn't be enough… I really should dissect Leona instead as I was also quite interested in divine bloodlines .
The blood test results were highly disappointing . Apart from some divine power within her bloodline, Leona was a pure human . Not only that, her unborn child's demonic power was also corroding her own power .
