At a very young age, Livia knew that her mother was dead.

It's not because of difficult births or anything like that, but because of humans, monsters are used by humans as a source of magic materials, and valuable livestock are often rushed to the house to kill and strip materials.

At that time, there was no such thing as the king of monsters.

At that time, the demon king was just an ordinary high-level monster, like other high-level monsters, he had a territory of his own, and no one dared to provoke him, but it was not easy to say, high-level monsters competed fiercely with each other, and their own materials were also extremely valuable, and many humans coveted the materials on their bodies, so they needed to be careful at all times.

It is not uncommon for monsters to kill each other internally, and they have to face the hunting of elves and human races, and the situation is very difficult, to put it bluntly, it is the king of the mountain.

But at that time, Livia can't remember the home anymore, she only knows that she was happy and carefree.

Then, when the father went out to fight with other high-level monsters over the territory, a group of human adventurers heard that there were newborn high-level monster cubs and sneaked into the lair, Livia did not die, but the mother who had just given birth turned around and led away the human professionals after hiding Livia.

When the father returned, he carried the heads of those men with him in his hands, but the mother did not return.

After that, my father began to unite with other high-level monsters to build a country that belonged to monsters, just like humans.

After a long time, Livia was surrounded by Kara, a female dragon who took her mother's place, and her father suffered many failures and the establishment of the country was too difficult, but in the end a small city was built.

This was the first step for the nation, and everyone in Demon King City rejoiced, thinking that it would be possible to build a place where monsters would no longer be treated as livestock by other races.

After that, the father changed—he didn't feel like a father anymore.

——————

"Huh......?" Livia suddenly woke up.

Before...... She seems to have fainted because of her emotions out of control?

How could it be such a gaffe! She scolded herself and immediately looked around to check the situation.

Then, it was still in the monster hybrid settlement, but far away from the furnace, surrounded by an open space, neatly placed fine iron plates, of good quality.

"Ah, woke up?" A voice rang out behind Livia.

"Father—uh......" she turned her head to look and blurted out subconsciously, but finally held back.

"Awake?" Lu En sat there, the injuries on his body were almost healed, his body was extremely healing, as long as he had magic power, he could regenerate, even if he didn't have magic power, he could recover by squeezing his body functions, but he needed to add more afterwards.

"Wake up......" Livia sat in place with a blank look.

"You said yesterday that you were going to get me medicine for the wound, if I was really seriously injured, everyone would die when you got it back." Lu En sat on a steel plate and said with a sneer.

"I'm sorry......" Livia said weakly.

To be honest, Lu En felt quite fresh, this cheap daughter who was fierce and cold as frost in his impression suddenly became weak.

He may have guessed the reason, but he had doubts from the beginning.

The body of the demon king, he can use it freely, and he can use skills without even running in, logically speaking, skills should be the product of pure self-exercise, why do you understand the rune principle of magic? Why are you able to use your fighting skills proficiently? Why do you have a natural affinity for monsters?

And Kara's reaction, the unlucky old demon king was stabbed in the back, and everyone betrayed his relatives, so that there was no available general in the demon king city, and everything pointed to the same answer.

Lu En sighed, looked at the sky, and then said:

"Tell me the reason for your betrayal."

"You don't know?" Livia looked up in shock.

"I know, I just want to hear you say it again." Lu En said.

Livia was gloomy, she should have thought of it, so she nodded silently, was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "...... Yes, I see. ”

Then, slowly, she spoke and explained why.

"A few years ago, Carla told me one thing......"

A few years ago, Livia was still working hard to hone her martial arts, hoping to help her father, because the pace of the Demon King's establishment of the country had stopped a long time ago, and now the Demon King City was a pool of stagnant water, resting on her laurels, Livia felt that it was because her strength was not strong enough, so she couldn't continue to expand, so she desperately honed herself, hoping to help her father.

After she finally rises to level 8, Kara finds her and tells her that her father is dead.

"She said that you are dead, and the usurper has taken possession of your body, which is why she wears pitch-black full-body plate armor to cover up."

Lu En thought about it for a while, indeed, in his memory, the unlucky egg demon king was indeed stabbed to death by Kara in the back wearing full-body plate armor, but ...... When I woke up, I didn't have that armor anymore.

And, looking back, Lu En suddenly found a blind spot.

All his memories...... It all stopped at some point, and he didn't have any memories of Livia's childhood, nor did he have memories of when he first met Kara.

He inherited the memory of the Demon King at a certain point in time, that is, when the Demon King put on this set of plate armor...... Broken.

Lu En had never paid attention to this before, but he didn't know why, he didn't suspect such an obviously suspicious thing from beginning to end!

Why didn't I know what happened to Livia as a child? Why don't you have a memory of the Demon King's wife? Why didn't I know why Kara had developed such a strong loyalty to herself?

I don't know all about so many things, but I don't feel nervous, and I even think it's a normal thing.

This alone is very abnormal, and Lu En is very clear about his origins, he comes from a more modern civilized society, by no means this magical Middle Ages, those memories are by no means false, although he has no nostalgia for that world, but it is certain that it must be true.

So...... What's going on now?

Unaware of Luen's mental activity, Livia continued, "I went to you, tested the usurper, and then ...... Finding out that he doesn't know anything at all, and doesn't have the kind of ambition you once had, he's a fake. ”

Speaking of this, Livia looked at the monster half-blood settlement: "That's it...... This kind of ambition, you are the one who wants to save the monster...... It's completely different from other high-level monsters. ”

"So...... Carla says she has a way to get you back, from death, but with a little sacrifice. Livia's voice gradually lowered, and she didn't continue.

But Lu En already understood.

A little sacrifice, that is...... The fall of the Demon King City, not only Livia, but even Kara took the initiative to give up the Demon King City, as well as the hundreds of thousands of monsters living there.
