Demon Emperor's Rise: Becoming The Greatest Villain For My Daughter

Chapter 14 Right Is Always Right

?Right after Max gave that name, the katana shook in response.

"Good," Max nodded in contentment. Then call back the katana to rest in his arms.

"Now, it's time to check on you." Max stared at the book on his left and went forward to open it.

[ Host, do you wish to learn the Purple Sun Technique? ]

The system's sudden notification made him halt in his movements. He asked curiously. 'System, would you like to imprint all of the book's memory in my soul just like the sword did?'

[ Yes. You can also try to learn it yourself if you feel like it, but I have to tell you, you will need to learn the book's language first before you can even be able to read what the first sentence actually meant. ]

Max thought through this a bit and got a new emerging question in his mind. 'System, why do I feel like I neglected my ability to communicate with the people of this world?'

Max felt truly odd as to why he was able to understand what Ravenna said and how Ravenna was able to understand what he said.

[ It is because I made changes in your soul, vocal cord, and ears when you were being born into this world. ]

'Then why didn't you change my eyes and muscle memory a bit too?' Max asked with doubt.

[ I can't spoon-feed you everything. Try to learn what this world has to offer by yourself. ]

Max wasn't anticipating such an answer from the system. 'Okay, okay, forget what I asked. Now, teach me this technique quickly.'

Just as Max finished saying that, Ravenna's face popped before his. Max, in surprise, backed down and asked. "What are you doing?"

"Lord, I was scared. I thought something happened to you as you were just standing there without saying anything." Ravenna said, looking down at the ground, and one could hear a voice of guilt within what she said.

'Ahh…' Max got a bit ashamed, he felt he asked something that sounded too harsh, and all she was doing was worrying for him. He said this to her with a smile. "Silly, I was not silent. I was reciting a mantra. It helps me easily learn anything. Look!"

Ravenna was skeptical at first but still listened to what he said and raised her head up. Her eyes widened when she saw the book turn into a small light speck and shoot into Max's head.

"Wow!' Ravenna's mouth went wide as she couldn't believe what she saw.

She came before Max, who had his eyes closed. "Lord, did you actually learn everything inside that book?"

Max opened his eyes and looked at Ravenna while breathing in a different way than normal, which was making his heart calmer and filling him with strength.

"This feels great," Max uttered in amazement.

"What feels good, Lord?" Ravenna asked again, as she started to feel left out in many things.

Max glanced at her big, curious eyes, which automatically brought a smile to his face. "Nothing; I just found a way to make me stronger. Also, Ravenna, you don't have to call me Lord all the time. Just call me by my real name."

Ravenna nodded her head after some hesitation.

Thip

Max looked at Ravenna with a serious face. "Do I look like some kind of scary-looking guy?"

"No, it's just that—something in my mind is telling me not to disrespect the Lord in any way possible?" Ravenna shook her head and became gloomy.

Max raised his eyebrows as he felt this sounded familiar, so familiar that he remembered instantly what it was. 'Someone brainwashed her even before she was born into this world, not exactly like how the organization trained me and told me much propaganda from her childhood, but it is similar.'

'Also, this is a magical world; anything can happen, but to brainwash someone before birth feels too far-fetched. When I hatched, I had a body older than someone who was just born, or is it that we are being transported from this demon realm to this world through incubating in an egg? I feel like that's it. It also explains many things now.' Max felt he had already guessed many things, and now it was time to stop. He has many years to think and find the truth, but not enough time to get stronger.

Max said to Ravenna with his earlier epic speech pattern. "Ravenna, is the voice in your head more important or your Lord's?"

Ravenna jolted out in shock and looked at Max's arrogant face, which was rare to see. 'The Lord became serious again; he returned to his true self again. I need to follow his orders.'

"No, Lo- Max's orders are important. Ravenna will do anything to follow Max's orders." Ravenna bowed her head and said with courtesy.

"Good." Max had a smirk on his face. Then he asked her. "Now, let's forget all of this stupid stuff. Show me where you killed the rabbit."

Ravenna nodded her head and led Max to the place.

…

'My assumption was correct.' Max looked at the small canal in front of him, which had rather calm, peaceful water.

Ravenna answered carefully. "Max, did I find something important?"

"Haha! You found the best thing." Max embraced Ravenna in joy, and she did so too in return. After ending the hug, he looked at both sides and racked his brain for where to go. He subconsciously asked. "Ravenna, where do you think we should go? Left or right?"

"Right. Isn't right supposed to always be right?" Ravenna looked at Max with a weird gaze, wondering why he was asking such a simple question.

A chuckle escaped from Max's mouth. He turned to the right side and said. "I was just a little confused there. Right will always be right."

"Let's go," Max said while facing Ravenna.

Ravenna happily trotted behind Max, as her home would always be beside him.
