Demon King – Chapter 231 – The Demon Lord Can Lay Eggs

“But you’re clearly fourteen already… shouldn’t that not be the case?” The little Demon Lord remembered very clearly, didn’t the legend state that the Daughters of Amber Crystal never survived past the age of 10?

“Because I was lucky enough to survive…” Eiya spread her hands, as if it was something very normal. “I was supposed to fall ill when I turned five, but instead, the Amber Crystal suddenly disappeared… so nothing happened to me.”

“And don’t forget, before I turned ten, our parents never let me return to our old home…” Though it was such a heavy subject, for some reason Eiya was able to speak about it with a carefree expression.

“Maybe it’s because the influence of that thing only existed within Crystal Amber City, so since I stayed outside the range of its effect, nothing happened to me.”

“No, I need to check your body…” Her Majesty the Demon Lord still couldn’t accept that something like this could happen right beside her, so she intended to probe Eiya with her magic.

“What the hell are you checking, how are you even going to… hey, what are you doing?!” Eiya was just about to say not to cause so much trouble, when she realized her sister’s tail had already wrapped around her waist.

It had to be just a coincidence. Her little sister was alive and well, there was no way she was one of the inexplicable daughters of Amber Crystal… Holding onto this thought, Eiru embraced Eiya, pressing her forehead against hers.

Channeling her own magic into her sister’s body to use it as a medium, she sensed everything within her… though the Little Demon Lord didn’t know much about medicine, she could still infer a lot from the inherited memories of the demon race.

That so-called inherited memory was like a cloud database. Normally it was sealed deep in her memory, but when she needed to, she could browse through it to search for what she needed.

But for some reason, Eiru discovered that she could only access a small portion of it. Am I not the Demon Lord? Am I not the only one? Why the hell did they put access permissions on me!

“Sis… during the half hour the Amber Crystal glowed, there were only five newborns in the whole of Crystal Amber City. Four were boys, and I was the only girl…” Though reality was cruel, Eiya was still certain of her identity as one of the daughters of Amber Crystal.

“Why can you say something so painful with such a light face?” Even someone as carefree as the little Demon Lord couldn’t help but feel distressed. After all, this was her blood sister.

“Because I’m fine, alive and well…” Eiya tried to make her sister feel better, but before she could finish, she was interrupted.

“Although it’s very slow, your organs are all deteriorating… when did it start? Don’t you dare tell me you didn’t know.”

“What? You could even check that? Even when I went to the hospital, they couldn’t find anything?” Eiya was shocked. She thought she was the only one who could sense it… was there anything her sister’s magic couldn’t do?

“Of course the hospital couldn’t find anything…” The Little Demon Lord sighed. “It’s not a matter of their skill, it’s just complicated to explain.”

“Anyway, I’ve given you seventy percent of my magic… thanks to you, I’ll have to rebuild my reserves again.” Letting go of her sister, Eiru hugged her knees at the pool’s edge, looking sulky.

“Huh? Maybe you should take it back? I don’t think I really need it…”

“I’m upset because you hid something so big from me… you’re my sister, I don’t want you to leave…” Her Majesty the Demon Lord’s voice even carried a hint of a sob. Who could easily accept something like this?

Tomorrow I’ll go to that cursed Crystal Amber Lake, maybe I can find some clues for saving her. Things that science can’t solve, I’ll just handle with my status as the current pinnacle of the magical side.

The magic she had given her sister would keep her cells alive. The magic power would be consumed in exchange for pausing the deterioration of her organs, and nothing major would happen in the short term.

And strangely enough, Eiya’s body was surprisingly compatible with magic… after all, normal humans would instinctively reject magic as a foreign substance. This only made Eiru more certain that the cursed Amber Crystal was connected with magic.

“Don’t be mad, now you understand how I felt back then, right? Didn’t you also keep it from me for over two years…” With words that were only half comforting, Eiya stroked her sister’s hair, trying to soothe her.

“That’s different, mine isn’t going to…” The little Demon Lord’s tone suddenly grew more agitated, but quickly sank into guilt. “…isn’t going to threaten my life… probably…”

“I still have plenty of time, I’ll live a normal life, it’s fine…”

Though since her hair turned white, the pace of deterioration had been slowly increasing. But for now it was still manageable.

“Let’s talk about something else! Like… Sis, tell me about the demon race! Didn’t you say you are one?” Eiya tried to change the subject, since if they kept talking like this, things could get out of hand.

“What do you want to know? Just so you know, I don’t know everything…” With a sigh, as the older sibling, Eiru felt it wasn’t right to stay downcast forever, so she followed her sister’s lead.

“You said you don’t get periods, so does that mean you can’t have children?”

Hearing this, two crosshatch veins popped on the Demon Lord’s forehead. What in the world was this girl’s brain filled with all day?

“I can have children. For us demons, or at least for me, it’s something I can freely control… is that enough for you?”

Calm down, calm down… in a way, this girl is a critical patient now, so she couldn’t get mad at her. Convincing herself of that, the little Demon Lord answered this bizarre question.

“Oh, you can freely control your periods…” ¹ bro wtf, I want that ability Nodding in understanding, Eiya immediately tossed another terrifying question. “Then do you want to have kids in the future?”

“No! Scram!”

“True, with your tiny frame you probably couldn’t handle it anyways…” Imagining some scenarios in her mind ² You readers better not imagine anything… , Eiya felt such things would be far too much for her sister.

What the hell, why wouldn’t I be able to handle it? Eiru froze, then immediately realized what kinds of things her sister had pictured…

“I…” She had been about to explain, but in the end gave up. “Forget it, whatever you say…”

As for the rest of the demon race, Eiru wasn’t sure. But for her own Demon Lord lineage… they were oviparous, not viviparous.

Telling her sister that she actually laid eggs… was probably better left unsaid. Even though she wanted to complain, it was just her racial trait, so there was nothing she could do about it.

“Actually, I’ve never had a period either, Dad and Mom have taken me to the hospital plenty of times for that…” Eiya suddenly scratched her head, tossing out something that was basically black history.

“No way, aren’t you fourteen already? Biology textbooks say that’s way too late…” The Little Demon Lord was dumbfounded. So her sister was closer to an oversized little girl than a proper teen?

“The doctors were confused too, because the checkups showed everything was developed… but still, I’ve never had one, I don’t know why.” Eiya waved her hand. She wasn’t a doctor, so how could she understand?

She can’t be like me, laying eggs too… For some reason, this strange thought suddenly popped into the little Demon Lord’s mind.
