Chapter 1112: A World Full of Hope

Chen Rui witnessed all this and naturally understood that Alice was deliberately pranking them. He shook his head secretly. At this moment, a voice came from the side, “What are all of you doing here?”

Alice turned her head to look. Without being rude, she let go of her arm that was holding Chen Rui tightly and bowed to the middle-aged big bearded man, “Dean Ciaro.”

“Princess Alice.” The royal college’s deputy dean looked at Alice. Then, his eyes were fixed on the little girl riding on Chen Rui’s neck, and his pupils shrank slightly.

“Uncle!” As soon as Tuman saw the backer coming, he was instantly spirited and pointed at Chen Rui, “Quickly take this asshole of unknown origin…”

“Slap!” Before Tuman could finish speaking, Ciaro ruthlessly slapped the rest of the words back.

Ciaro gave Chen Rui a deep bow, “Princess Alice, this sir, I’m sorry. It’s all the fault of these 2 useless things. Please forgive me for the rudeness.”

Chen Rui smiled and spoke up, “It’s just a small matter. Alice, let’s go first.”

Alice nodded to Ciaro and held Chen Rui’s hand, “Brother, you rarely come to college, I’ll show you around.”

“Ok.”

Seeing Alice leading the man away from a distance, Tuman couldn’t help but feel anxious, “Uncle! That guy and Princess Alice…”

“Ignorant trash! If Princess Alice really likes that sir, the 2 of you and those other guys, should forget about your delusion… You all have no hope at all!”

Tuman said unwillingly, “Now that Princess Alice is not married, everyone has hope. Moreover, the guy is obviously…”

“Shut up! If you want your whole family to perish, you can try provoking that sir!” Ciaro glared at his nephew.

The whole family perishes? The weight of this sentence made Tuman dumbfounded, “Who is that man?”

Suvor wisely interjected, “I remember, that old man seems to be Old Gauss, a close minister beside Her Majesty. Old Gauss has been following Her Majesty since the Dark Moon Estate. Could this man be Old Gauss’ nephew? Even so …”

“Are all the Boll Family idiots like you? You still have the face to pursue Princess Alice! Would he be that respectful if he is just a nephew?” Cairo reprimanded unceremoniously, “Although I don’t know that sir, I have a little impression of the little girl he is holding…”

“Little girl?” Tuman and Suvor said in unison. How could the royal college dean be intimidated by a little girl? What’s the origin of that little girl? Could she be Her Majesty Shea’s daughter?

“Hmph! Did you forget the finals of the Demon Realm’s martial battle competition held at the Bloody Empire?”

“That final was famous throughout the Demon Realm. Who didn’t know about top powerhouse His Highness Prince Consort Aguile and Empress Catherine…” Tuman finally remembered, and his voice suddenly stuttered, “Then that little girl…”

Suvor answered with difficulty, “She seems to call that person ‘daddy’ just now.”

Both of them figured it out – Not Royal Majesty Shea’s daughter, but another ‘Royal Majesty’’s daughter!

This little girl’s father is stronger and more dazzling than her mother.

The man who became a household name in the Demon Realm!

We actually provoked him just now?

Tuman and Suvor, who just realized it, almost urinated.

Both Suvor and Tuman were just insignificant little characters, so Chen Rui didn’t take it to heart. He let Alice lead him and strolled around the campus, attracting the attention of countless people.

Everyone was surprised to see that Princess Alice, who had always rejected all men, actually took the initiative to hold a man’s hand while chatting and laughing. The strange thing was that the man was not a handsome and good-looking person. Instead, his appearance was extremely ordinary. It was unbelievable that Alice’s expression was unprecedentedly ecstatic.

Although the royal college was built not long ago, Shea attached great importance to this aspect. No matter its area or facilities, it was not inferior to the most famous Starlight College in the human world, which was full of style.

Duoduo was also very interested in this place and asked many questions. Chen Rui had the intention to let his daughter feel a good learning atmosphere in advance, so he answered carefully one by one. Alice interjected a few words from time to time. Princess Loli was determined to achieve her goal from another direction, so she let go of Chen Rui’s hand and walked around with Duoduo in her arms. However, because of her figure, they looked more like a pair of sisters.

“Sister Alice! What kind of dress is that?”

“That’s a tiger suit. It’s for performance. There is a school stage play recently, and they are rehearsing.”

“Tiger suit? So interesting!”

“I’ll get one for you.” Alice rolled her eyes, “But you have to call me mommy.”

“Okay, sister. But mommy is taller than you, and…”

Duoduo looked suspiciously at Alice’s relatively barren chest. Compared with Catherine, a certain princess could only be regarded as an airport.

A certain princess secretly burst into tears. You think I want it?

“Then call me aunty.”

“Okay! Sister.”

“…”

The little loli approached the girls who were rehearsing, and Duoduo’s cute appearance made those girls surround them.

“Princess Alice, who is this little girl?”

“Cute little sister! What’s your name?”

“This…” Alice’s purple eyes blinked and said proudly, “This is my daughter!”

This sentence caused a commotion. When did Princess Alice, who was pursued by many boys, have such a grown up daughter?

At this time, Duoduo’s words exposed her, “Sister Alice, I want tiger suit.”

It turns out to be her sister. The girls all laughed. 1 of the girls brought a tiger suit and let Duoduo wear it. This suit was made of magic material that could automatically adapt to the size.

“Wow, what a cute little tiger!” Seeing Duoduo in a tiger costume, little stars flickered in the eyes of the girls.

“Sister Alice, why aren’t you a tiger?”

Alice hurriedly put on a tiger suit and growled. She held Duoduo’s hand and asked the girls around her with anticipation, “Do we look like a tiger mother and daughter?”

“It’s the tiger sisters!”

“Haha! So cute!”

The girls laughed hilariously.

“Hmph, no eyesight.” Alice pouted in dissatisfaction. She dragged a small tail and left the stage with Duoduo.

“Duoduo, you secretly call me mommy, and I’ll take you to drink the college’s special sourn juice, okay? It’s delicious!”

“Okay, sister!”

“…”

Looking at the 2 cute big and small tigers, Chen Rui smiled heartily.

Old Gauss from the back said, “It can be seen that Princess Alice is very happy. I haven’t seen her smile like this for a long time.”

“Really?”

“Your Highness should understand what the little princess thinks of you. Princess Royal… well, Her Majesty is also very clear.” Although Shea had ascended to the throne for a long time, the old man who grew up watching Shea was still used to calling Her Majesty Empress as Princess Royal.

This title also made Chen Rui feel nostalgic, then he shook his head, “I know, but I’m going to have a big wedding with the 2 empresses of the Dark Shadow Empire and the Bloody Empire…”

Old Gauss nodded, “Little princess was actually 1 of the first people to know this news. She happened to be by Her Majesty’s side when the envoy reported it. Little princess must have been depressed at the time, but she is still very happy now. That kind of happiness is not fake. Does Your Highness know why?”

Before Chen Rui answered, Old Gauss had already said the answer himself, “Trust. It is not so much of self-confidence, but more of a trust in you.”

Chen Rui stared at the ‘medium-sized tiger’ who was walking briskly, and he was silent for a while.

“I have a son and a daughter. My daughter died soon after birth due to sickness. My son went on an expedition with the Lord of Midnight Sun and never returned. I watched Princess Royal and the little princess grow. Pardon me, in my heart, they are like my daughters.” Old Gauss’s eyes showed a kind expression. Chen Rui nodded. He was very clear of the old lich’s loyalty to Shea. Even in the most critical time back then, he did not leave Shea.

Not just loyalty, but another kind of love.

“Your Highness, with all due respect. As far as I know, you have quite a few women, including the 3 Royal Majesty Empresses; each one of unparalleled excellence. But whether it’s the human world or the Demon Realm, the number of women you have can only be considered pitifully small compared to the noble families with concubines. Royal Princess… Her Majesty lost her mother since she was a child, and she completely changed herself under the pressure of His Highness Grimm. However, she is very happy now. Not only because she has fulfilled His Highness Grimm’s last wish and regained control of the empire, but also because she is with you. It can be said that meeting you in the Dark Moon was the biggest turning point in her life and the luckiest turning point. As for the Royal Highness Little Princess, I know you may have your own arrangements, but in any case, please give the little princess happiness too.”

With that said, Old Gauss bowed deeply, “Thanks to Your Highness for listening to an old guy nagging for so long. Speaking of which, I’m not qualified to say this to Your Highness, but…”

“You’re wrong, as an elder who loves Shea and Alice, you are fully qualified.” Chen Rui addressed him respectfully, “I will not let my loved ones who trusted me be disappointed, including Alice.”

Old Gauss didn’t pay attention to the difference, but when he heard Chen Rui’s last sentence, his eyes lit up and he nodded, “Thank you, Your Highness.”

“As relatives of Shea and Alice, you don’t need to thank me.”

“Let’s not talk about anything else. You saved my life.” Old Gauss smiled, “The changes over the years have been tremendous. Take the royal college as an example. Although it was established not long ago, it has won the attention of Her Majesty. Not long ago, in the college exchange competition of the 3 empires, we also won 3 championships; outstanding talents emerged from each department. The status and weight of the college are also increasing. It has become an important base for the empire’s talent pool and training.”

After the establishment of the royal college of the 3 empires, corresponding exchange competitions would be held every year. Not only were the prizes attractive, but the winners could also be noticed by the upper echelons of the empire, so their prospects were limitless.

Compared with the well-known colleges in the human world, the facilities and scale of the 3 royal colleges of the Demon Realm were not inferior, but there were still big differences in terms of teachers and students. Nevertheless with the passage of time, it would eventually become an indistinguishable presence.

“Looking back now, it’s like a dream. When I was struggling in that dilapidated Dark Moon Estate, I never imagined that it would be like this. It’s not flattery or exaggeration. I have to say that the present achievement of the Dark Moon, the Fallen Angel Empire, and the entire Demon Realm, is thanks to Your Highness. The extraordinary ability of Your Highness is in no way inferior to the powerful combat power you possess. Maybe even more than that. You are worthy of being the Demon Realm’s number 1.”

Chen Rui shook his head slowly, “No, it’s not my contribution. Even without me, sooner or later, it will naturally develop to this point. Moreover, now… it’s not enough.”

To fight the Abyss that may come in the future, these are indeed not enough; far from enough.

Although the 3 main altars have been destroyed, it does not mean that the crisis of the Abyss is completely resolved. It can only be said to be delayed.

The avatars of the 3 rulers of the Abyss showed strong confidence before being destroyed as if it is only a matter of time before they descend to this world. This time will not be too long.

Bluffing or not, I must not let my guard down.

Regardless of whether I still exist when the Abyss comes, what is certain is that the economy must develop faster, the military must become stronger, and the magic game must make more people stronger and more adaptable to the Abyss enemies’ specialty.

“Not enough?” These 2 words made Old Gauss very surprised. Based on the Dark Moon, he overthrew Obsidian in one fell swoop, helped Shea ascend the throne, and brought the Fallen Angel Empire’s military and economy into an unprecedented period of rapid development. The 3 empires’ alliance, the unification of the Demon Realm, and ushering in true peace. These are ‘unprecedented’ great achievements. Are these still not enough?

Chen Rui didn’t explain. He just looked at the 2 white moons in the sky.

When he first came to this world back then, facing these 2 moons, his mood was of incomparable loneliness, despair and fear, and even cursed everything he had encountered. But now, the smiling faces reflected in the moon made him feel hope. Because of these people, the whole world was full of hope.

“Daddy! This sourn juice is delicious, come quickly!”

Heavenly voice.

Just like an angel. The source of this content is novelenglish.net . Firᴇ

Not the so-called angel in this world, but the most beautiful and pure angel in my heart.

Chen Rui smiled, informed Old Gauss, and strode forward.

No matter what the purpose of the Abyss destroying the world is, no matter whether I will face the real Abyss in my lifetime, no matter what enemies there are in the future, or even… God.

To protect this voice, to protect all hopes, I will burn everything to fight.
