<h4>Chapter 99: Adventure Together</h4>
"Thene with me to explore the many ces beyond the boundaries of this continent. Apart from protected ces, you are rarely there near me to protect me directly. If you are too worried, then be there by your daughter''s side." Sylvia smiled weakly.
Since Sylvia was just born until her father ascended the throne to be the Emperor who ruled the Devil Continent, she rarely got enough attention. Her father always went somewhere and came home covered in wounds and smelled of blood.
Even though Dn always cleaned up all the remains of the battle and everything he did to gain the power of the Emperor ss fast enough. He didn''t know that his daughter had sharp senses. It was easy for her to notice it after repeated repetitions.
Before Dn became the Emperor of the Devil Continent, Sylvia was always under protection in a particr area within a limited scope. Such as a house with a garden with multipleyers of guards. She was also forbidden to go outside.
By the time he ascended the throne, things were not very good for Sylvia. Apart from certain castles or ces, Sylvia was only allowed to leave with the guard Dn deemed adequate. Hundreds of years passed, and she began to feel suffocated by her father''s strict restraint.
She was getting bored with that same ce she visited, or maybe she had visited too many ces on Devil Continent. Sylvia could only roam the small world under her father''s watchful eye without much room to move, and it was considered freedom from him.
Dn just needed to be there and rece heavy guard and anything to apany his daughter, but he didn''t do it. Currently, Sylvia just asked him to go on an adventure together and spend their time together, away from an Emperor''s busyness.
"..."
Dn couldn''t answer right away and thought it over what he was trying to achieve and what he had done to his daughter. Maybe if that was true, and what he had been doing all this time was always applied, then his daughter would really be gone forever from his life.
Sylvia smiled, somewhat pleased that her father was reconsidering it.
"Try to answer me. What are you trying to find, father? You tell me about my mother, your grudge, the horror of mankind, and your goals... After hundreds of years of struggling and bing a Devil Emperor, you have really neglected your daughter for that long..." Sylvia flew behind her father, then continued her persuasive words.
"If what you are looking for right now is the culprit, then try to find out to investigate personally and adventure. You can delegate all the duties of an Emperor of the continent to your four subordinates, right?"
It really sounded like a devil''s whisper, right in Dn''s ear when he heard the persuasion of his daughter. Well, she was indeed a devil.
"I can''t do it. The Emperor has responsibilities and rules that apply to him." Dn didn''t get swayed easily.
Although it was true, He hadn''t really searched thoroughly, much less was there personally to investigate every single ce. All he did was send spies and informers to various ces in the Human Continent.
"Hm? Since when have you followed the rules? Didn''t you tell me just now that you are the Devil Emperor and you make the rules? You are devoting yourself to what is really not just your responsibility. You can change the rules and create new ones, father. Who can raise a protest because your strength is absolute here?" Sylvia grinned as she threw back what her father had said a while ago.
"..." Dn pondered again because he was attacked by his own words, but he did consider his daughter''s wishes and words.
Why did he be Emperor? Didn''t he achieve that, to possess tremendous power to kill the culprit who killed his wife?
Since when did he have to dedicate himself and work for everyone under him? Wouldn''t it be better to get them all to work and focus on his original goals? Or rx with all that he was going to do?
He just wanted to create a safe environment and then made his daughter happy, but wasn''t this oue the exact opposite? His daughter was lonely and suffering because of him. Why didn''t he protect her directly while searching for the truth in the world? He could judge everything with his own hands.
"All right, I''ll go with you. Wait here for a moment while I take care of all the troublesome business." Dn folded his arms after making a decision.
"Yay! I love you, father! You will not regret it because I am a lucky star. The first time I fled outside this continent, I became friends with a Goddess. What will await uster, mmm?" Sylvia hugged her father from behind and rubbed her cheek against his cheek.
Dn just smiled at it. His daughter was lucky. After a moment passed, he opened his mouth with the expression that returned to his usual self again, a bit cold and indifferent.
"Now, get off of me. I have some matters to prepare before we go. Wait here for a moment."
Sylvia immediately freed her father, then he became a ck mist and disappeared from there. She didn''t think her incitement would really make her father change his mind quickly. Anyway, she swiftly got ready with everything she wanted to bring, the preparation for her adventure.
Some time passed so quickly, Dn had sent all the tasks to his subordinates. He no longer wanted to take care of everything by himself because he had many subordinates to assign and not assign him.
He returned to Sylvia''s room and saw a ck-haired girl sitting on the bench near the dressing table. His daughter was looking in the mirror while humming.
"Hum~ Hum~ Father, you''re back. How do I look?" Sylvia immediately stood up, then turned around once and flicked her skirt. She was already wearing a ck and white adventurer''s outfit like a princess knight from a book she had read.
"Well, you look very different with different hair and eye colors. Apart from the costume you wear, the rest is the same. Are you going to go like that?" Dn frowned.
"Of course, we need a new identity. It''s not like a lousy agent in the Human Continent who is mostly a humanity traitor or devil in human form. White hair and red eyes have be a devil icon. Look at my long ck hair and beautiful ck eyes that are like a charming night. You also need to resemble me, father."
Sylvia returned to the dresser while checking her face. She could only change her hair color and eye color with magic, but the rest was still the same.
Dn was silent, but the color of his hair and eyes also turned dark ck. He also changed his robe into a dark ckbat outfit very quickly. His face also seemed to change slightly with the help of Dark Magic.
Sylvia looked back to tell her father to disguise himself because he was silent for too long. However, she was surprised by the man dressed all in ck standing there. "What!? Who are you! Where is my father!"
"I am your father, don''t you recognize my energy aura?" Dn grinned because his daughter didn''t recognize him easily.
"Oh, right. You sure are fast, father... Phew..." Sylvia let out a sigh of relief when she saw her father''s familiar reddish-ck aura.
"But there, you shouldn''t use your strength too much, father. Especially on arge scale andrge magic. We will be caught by the Emperors of the Human Continent."
"Yeah, I know. Where are we going as a starting ce? Almost all the Human Continent regions have been investigated, especially in the Western Region, which has been thoroughly investigated." Dn asked lightly.
"What about the Avrora Forest? The forest on regional borders stretches vastly in the Western, Southern, and Holy Central Regions. We start from the southwest, then explore as adventurers and will go in a counter-clockwise direction." Sylvia put her finger on her chin as she thought.
"Well, you didn''t choose that forest just because you met the goddess who you called your friend, right?" Dn looked at his daughter right in the eye, and Sylvia could only touch her fingers together. It couldn''t be more than real.
"Can we?" She looked at her father with a pleading face.
"Very well. Let''s go. We will register as adventurers in one of the Southern Region cities then move in a counter-clockwise direction. Are you happy?" Dn relented a little, anything for his daughter.
"Happy! Come on, let''s go! All preparations are ready. We''ll slip into the night!" Sylvia immediately jumped up cheerfully.
Then, the two of them immediately flew away towards the forest, where Sylvia met her Goddess friend. Maybe Sylvia was indeed a lucky star, but no one knew what awaited them.
Dn increased his and his daughter''s flight speed with the help of his eleration magic. No one expected that they would meet the same Goddess but in a different form and identity. Not Dn and not Sylvia, not even the Goddess herself.
