Chapter 269: A Sister Like a Mother

"Who are you really? Why do you have different identities, and what is your relationship with my brother?"

Chasing to a deserted place, Yuki cautiously approached Suyu, who had her back to her, and asked this question.

"Hmm?"

Suyu turned around, took her time to look her over, and chuckled softly, "What’s this? Didn’t your brother mention me? Like a senior sister, a fox and the like?"

Yuki was taken aback, fell silent for a moment, and nodded, "He did mention you, a black-hearted and cunning fox, but very powerful and so on."

"Ah, then I’ll take that as a compliment, after all, your brother is, in a way, my person."

Yuki immediately narrowed her eyes and instinctively tightened her grip on the hilt of her sword, "What do you mean, ‘your person’?"

Suyu moved gracefully, with a hint of casualness, walked over to her, and playfully twirled a strand of her silver hair.

"Those who swear loyalty to me and belong to me body and soul, is that clear enough? By the way, this is also related to you. It was the junior who made a deal with me to lift the curse on you."

Yuki’s hand shook, and she unconsciously let go of the sword’s hilt, her red eyes shimmering like tiny stars.

Feeling that her aura completely overshadowed the Sword Saint, the Lord of the Demon King remained satisfied while keeping a pose of superiority.

At this moment, Yuki’s mind was filled with a few words, "enduring humiliation," "sacrifice," "saving."

Oh brother, why must you go this far for someone like her? Why risk your own life?

This woman is clearly not a good woman; even if she pretends well, my Valkyrie instincts can still sense something different from humans.

Mysterious, dangerous, and wicked; who knows what kind of abyss they will lead you into?

At that moment, Yuki only hated herself for grabbing Rin’s outstretched hand, never thinking it would come at such a cost.

She bit her lip, her confidence rising suddenly, standing up straight.

The sudden change in momentum and thoughts left the Lord of the Demon King somewhat stunned.

Yuki wore a serious expression and coldly stared at the Demon King, "No matter who you are, if you want to use the harm against my brother, you must first ask my sword."

"Um."

The Lord of the Demon King felt a bit dazed, doubting if his explanation was clear enough.

Well, considering she is my junior’s older sister, having such self-awareness is quite rare, so I will reluctantly say one more thing.

"On the other hand, he is also the partner whose soul and body are most in tune with mine, someone I will live with."

This time, it was Yuki who looked a bit confused. The Sword Saint paused, then said with doubt, "But he already has a fiancée, and they are very close."

This was also the part that bothered Suyu the most.

The Lord of the Demon King habitually displayed a weak and aggrieved look; although not a tear fell, the sad and desperate expression was truly worthy of an award-winning actress.

"I already know, but I have already given birth to my junior’s child."

The Sword Saint girl did not understand at first and had a confused look on her face, as if asking a question.

"？"

Suyu gently stroked her abdomen, "Even though we are boss and subordinate, and our relationship might not be accepted, I cannot let the child grow up without a father."

This time, Yuki understood clearly.

In the simple mind of the Sword Saint, the words "child" and "baby" filled her thoughts, leaving her confused about the time and place.

Little brother, a child has come.

Yuki, realizing the situation, felt a bit sad but was still worried about how her brother would stand in the Gualarrap Kingdom if this matter got out.

"Is what you said true?"

"Of course it’s true, and luckily my younger brother is very happy to have a child."

"Is my brother very happy?"

Sword Saint felt complicated emotions in his heart and couldn’t help but ask another question.

When it came to this, Suyu perked up, speaking in a pitiful and wronged tone, but in reality, she was happily sharing the joy between them.

She spoke like Rin, with a tone and expression that were just perfect.

Although Yuki didn’t want to admit it, her intuition told her that this mysterious woman, whose background was unknown, was not lying.

I should have known this earlier.

If my brother brings it up more than once, and he does so in a complaining and disdainful way, that person must be someone he is very close to.

For example, Emilia, for example, Elise.

But when did they meet, and when did they have this kind of relationship?

Obviously… she was also trying hard to be a good sword sheath to break the curse for her brother.

Now, does she not need her anymore?

At that moment, Yuki was filled with fear and worry, much like bringing home a fox, afraid of losing all the love and becoming sad and gloomy like a golden retriever.

Suyu chuckled to herself, thinking how the innocence of this Sword Saint was even more than Elise’s, which was quite amusing.

Suyu, who enjoyed playing with other people’s feelings, smiled while holding back her laughter and continued to act like a victim.

Yuki’s hand nervously rubbed the hilt of the sword, her sparkling eyes spinning, feeling empty and lost, filled with uncertainty.

She didn’t know how to face her brother’s lover with what kind of attitude or identity.

Until she saw the Interspatial Ring on her hand.

That was the Interspatial Ring that her younger brother wore for several years, and then he gave it to her, placing it on her hand himself.

Thinking about it, this woman was sent by her younger brother to find her, and as soon as she arrived, she helped her out of trouble. That magical energy could very well have used some hidden trick.

This surely was a sign from her younger brother, even telling me without holding back about having an illegitimate child.

The long-haired hairband seemed to still hold warmth, instantly calming Yuki’s restless heart.

Little Rin has always had me in his heart and has always cared for and trusted me; that is enough. Compared to her brother, these worries and doubts of hers feel rather lowly.

Yuki quickly calmed down, regaining her composure, and her presence returned.

"Your brother is not someone who abandons others; you can rest assured. As an older sister, I promise you there will definitely be a solution after this. Please have faith and take care of yourself during this time."

As she spoke, her presence reached its peak, "But before that, please do not make this public. Otherwise, Rin’s situation in Gualarrap will be very difficult. If you can do this, I, Yuki, will obey without question."

Suyu was stunned, feeling inexplicably as if she had been pressed down.

It was a request, but it felt as if they were speaking with the authority of an elder, even more imposing than her, the Demon King.

Should I push back again?

Um, wait a minute?

Speaking of which, the junior has always mentioned the so-called father, and Grand Duke Orlan has no father-son feelings, so right now, the only family member should be Yuki.

If that’s the case, does this mean I have already gained the approval of their family?

Also, if a child is born in the future and she happens to start reclaiming the throne, who will take care of the child during that time is also a question.

There aren’t many people I can trust deeply; Sha Ye is one, witch Lima is another, and my three apostles also count.

Of course, the one I trust the most is actually Rin, whom I’ve known for a short time.

Nonsense, if we’re already talking about having children together, how can I not trust him?

For such a wonderful fate, the Lord of the Demon King can only consider it as a bond of souls, not a simple crush.

Sha Ye and the others are all key members, and they cannot be missed. We can’t ask one of them to take care of the children, right? "Theoretically, it should be the father who takes care of the kids, but the younger brother is surrounded by heroes and princesses, all of them watching closely. How could we ever feel at ease?

This large-chested, well-meaning Sword Saint, who is as loyal as a wooden block, could actually be useful.

Well, both in fighting ability and personality, he is very suitable for taking care of kids.

Speaking of which, I should bring this sister-in-law Sword Saint to my side as soon as possible and do some persuasion to keep her honest and straightforward.

Compared to the hero princess, who has already been tested in real battles, just feeling attracted can still be changed.

With a set plan, Suyu also wouldn’t mind that a mere level fifty human dares to challenge her authority.

"I’m glad you can say that," Suyu changed the subject. "In that case, how about I call you by your name?"

"From now on, we are family, so please feel free."

This self-aware remark made the Lord of the Demon King feel pleased inside and he secretly thought it was insightful.

"Then you can also call me Suyu, as for my identity, let the junior tell you."

"Actually, I came this time mainly because I was in a hurry and the journey was long. The junior is worried that you might… um, in his words, be so poor that you eat dirt, so he specially sent me to check on you."

Yuki’s eyes lit up, and he thought to himself that his brother truly cares about him; he felt warmth in his heart, and that sour feeling from before had vanished.

Looking at the box handed to him, Yuki pushed it back directly.

"Don’t worry, brother. I am currently following the main group, and they cover the military expenses. Besides, the cities provide accommodation and food, so he can just use the money for himself."

"But don’t! You know his personality; if I take it back, he will just make me bring it back again, going back and forth will wear me out. Plus, there are gifts and letters he prepared inside—are you sure you don’t want it?"

Yuki’s spirit jolted, and he quickly reached out to take the box. He instinctively wanted to open it but didn’t want others to see, so he had to put on a serious face and store it away.

"In that case, I will accept it."

"Is there anything else you want me to bring to the younger student? Like a letter or something? Since we are family, I will make an exception and run once more."

The black fox had very bad intentions; she could easily throw the Sword Saint right in front of Rin, but she chose to say it this way.

There are many hidden things in this.

Yuki did not think about other aspects; she was not familiar with spatial magic.

She wanted to write a letter, a very long one, but she did not want to waste a pregnant woman’s time.

Sending a message would be fine, but she wanted to say too much, and in the end, she didn’t know what to say.

She paused for a moment and finally said, "Just let my brother take care of himself; I will be on time to meet him."

"Alright, then I will leave first."

Suyu opened a space tunnel, was about to enter, suddenly thought of something, and tossed a box to Yuki.

"I almost forgot, this is the breakfast that my little brother asked me to bring you. It was just made."

Though his tone was a bit sour and clearly reluctant, the Lord of the Demon King still completed this delivery task and stepped into the space tunnel.

As soon as Suyu left, Yuki opened the lunch box with a silly look, seeing two steaming fried eggs and some toast with cheese inside, wagging his tail in excitement.

"My little brother specially made this breakfast for her and even had someone bring it. He really does care about me!"

…

At that moment, Rin was yawning while making breakfast for the waste hero.

That guy would definitely not wake up unless he called her himself.

Just as he flipped over the crispy bread and sprinkled cheese on it, he heard a loud, strong female voice and quickly saw her approaching.

"Is this breakfast for me?"

The speaker is the witch Angela, who looks tired with dark circles under her eyes and is stretching her hand towards the bread on the frying pan.

Rin quickly swatted her hand away, "This is for my family’s waste hero, and you haven’t even washed your hands."

Angela then looked at the sausages on the plate, beaming with joy, "So this one must be mine!"

Rin scoffed, "That is not yours either."

"Then where is mine?"

"Can’t you make it yourself?"

It was not Rin who said this, but the Lord of the Demon King who appeared from a space portal.

Angela immediately became furious, hands on her hips, stomping her feet, with her high heels clicking on the ground.

"What do you mean? You have this mistress with you, do you have no conscience? Don’t think that being the Demon King lets you make me work for free. You came to meet secretly, left me and the Shadow Monster on the island, and now you want me to clean up your mess again. I’m not your worker; I don’t get paid by you!"

Suyu yawned softly, picked up a strand of hair, tilted her head, and mimicked Rin’s way of speaking, murmuring, "Being older means being careful and chatty, forget it, junior, let her have my share."

"That’s more like it, I’ll just take a little loss."

Angela, like a hungry wolf, snatched the plate away and ran to a corner to eat, separating herself from Rin and the others.

"Soon, the Shadow Monster will come, so I’ll leave it to you to deal with," Suyu added, receiving a dismissive response from Angela.

Rin asked in surprise, "Aren’t you going to eat? Do you want me to make another one? You should eat breakfast before leaving."

Suyu giggled, leaned close to his ear, and whispered, "Last night, I had sausages a few times, and I’m full from the milk, so I’m not hungry now."

Rin was puzzled about when she had extra food last night, but suddenly he noticed where Suyu was looking, and he had a sudden realization, as if someone had enlightened him.

His face turned red, and he held back the urge to hit the fox on the head with the wooden spatula.

"You… you need to be normal! Stinky fox, you weren’t like this before!"

"Women will always grow up."

The black fox said with a laugh, now looking quite shameless, which was a stark contrast to her initially innocent appearance.

"By the way, junior, I have brought your things. She asked me to tell you to take good care of yourself. I finished my errands; is there a reward?"
