"How did you get in?" Lucia asked with a frown.

"Just now... Shira suddenly appeared in the room you took us to."

Mu Hantian explained: "Shu asked her how she suddenly appeared on my lap. Only then did she know that she had made magic space channels everywhere in the city for playing tricks on people - or taking refuge for people in the city in an emergency. So I think there may be one in your office, so I asked Shira to lend it to me. Because wanlia hasn't come back yet, I'm very worried."

"I see. My mother is really."

The guard door was closed well, which made Luqiya wonder how the blade entered. She didn't think it was using Xuela's space channel. Luqiya knew the existence of the channel, but she didn't find her office and didn't escape, which made her deeply feel that she was still far inferior to her mother. After sighing in her heart, Luqiya immediately changed her mood, looked at Mu Hantian and said, "Mr. Hantian, what did you mean just now?"

"This is just my guess. Judging from Xuela's words and deeds, her status here is not low, but her strength is very weak. I think she should have lost her strength?" Mu Hantian said his idea.

Then he looked at wanlia and asked, "wanlia, you should know why?"

"Yes, zokiel, he told me one thing. Mother will lose her strength and become like that - because she gave birth to me."

Vanria's words in a trembling voice made Lucia slightly open her eyes.

It turns out that this is the case

Lucia finally understood. Wanliya's heart is indeed very soft, but she has a stronger sense of responsibility. So even if the situation made her struggle, she was convinced that she would never make the worst choice to help zokiel.

Under Maria's invisible table, Lucia clenched her right fist. He tried to suppress the boiling anger without a trace of emotion.

What he told Maria was true. Xuela, the mother of Lucia and Maria, is the first person in the dream demon family to become a high-level demon family and widely known in the demon world. In the past, Shira was very powerful. It is said that she used to be an equal ally with wilbet, who is known as the strongest demon king.

However - such a Shira suddenly lost most of her strength one day for some reason.

That's giving birth to vanria. When she gave birth to her eldest daughter, Lucia, she was safe, but she lost most of her strength when she gave birth to wanlia - she couldn't even maintain her original posture and became a younger appearance than wanlia.

But - Luqiya and others have always been very careful not to let wanliya know about it. Once you know that your birth makes your beloved mother lose strength and beauty, it will undoubtedly hurt the child's heart. In particular, Shira's status is special, and the consequences will be more serious.

So in order not to make Maria feel guilty or hurt for her existence, Shira and Lucia unite with everyone around them to protect Maria - by hiding the truth.

It is impossible to completely hide the loss of power of people like Shira, but it can cut off the connection between the cause and vanria. Therefore, they lied that Shira lost her strength before she became pregnant with Maria, and tried their best to hide the secret.

Many people close to Shira in the steady faction know the truth because they accompany her to childbirth, and feel sorry for her loss of overwhelming power. Shira and Lucia went everywhere to ask these people not to reveal the truth. Even Wilbert promised to help persuade the surrounding people to keep the secret together. With the cooperation of so many people, vanria was saved from knowing the cruel truth and raised her safely.

But how dare he!

Luqiya clenched her teeth in anger. Although I don't know where zokiel of the current demon king faction learned the secret that only a small number of people in the steady faction know - it's very mean to hurt others when he dies.

Originally, Luqiya wanted to kill him himself, but from the sudden disappearance of Lingzi reaction tracked after he escaped from Shu's house, it should be dead.

When Lucia, who had nowhere to vent her anger, suppressed her hatred——

"Sorry, sister Luqiya..."

Wan Liya seemed to regard Lucia's silence as anger at her, bowed her head and said, "the former mother whom my elder sister respected most was taken away by me."

"This -" hearing Wan Liya's feeble words, Lu Qiya had an idea to stop her.

I'm afraid wanlia thought that Lucia's severe attitude so far was because she made Shira lose her strength. Maybe she thought it was her own responsibility, so she wanted to save Shira and embarked on the wrong path of helping zokiel. But——

no, it isn't.

Luqia's severe treatment of wanliya began from her position as the adjutant of ramsas, the current leader of the moderates. Her responsibility was different from that in the future.

From time to time, we must be strict with those around us and make cold judgments. Of course, we must not be partial to our own people; When your sister becomes your subordinate, you should stick to the principle.

And the responsibility for Shira's loss of strength is never on Maria. Shira knew that that would happen and decided to have a baby, and Lucia agreed with her mother's decision; And WAN Liya lived up to her mother and Lucia's determination and was born healthy.

"You've had enough. I can't watch it anymore. Lucia, Shira, does she know the consequences of giving birth to vanria?" Mu Hantian interrupted.

"Of course..." Luqiya said conditionally.

"That's right. Maria, you don't need to blame yourself. Since Shira knows the consequences, but still insists on giving birth to you, and she has done a good job in keeping your secrets, it shows that she has worked hard. Everything she does is to make you grow up healthily, not to make you like this."

"Brother... I..."

"Don't think too much. It's been so long. Your remorse is of no use. It's better to grow up well so as not to disappoint Shira. Let's go and have a rest." stopped wanlia who wanted to say it, Mu Hantian gently held her small hand.

………………

Mu Hantian took Wan Liya's hand and returned to the guest room where Shu and others were waiting with Lu Qiya.

"Sorry, I came back so late," said Mu Hantian. When he opened the door and entered the room, he saw Shu and others still drinking tea, and Jaster waited by the wall when Mu Hantian entered the room.

However - Shira may have foreseen that Lucia would curse because she used the space channel in cold weather. There was no one left, but there was another person in the room. Maybe it's on behalf of Shira. An old male demon clan with long white beard is drinking tea with Shu them.

Alas, I haven't finished reading the original. It's really troublesome. Mu Han thought helplessly in his heart.
