As a villain, he could do whatever he wanted.

"That's right, just as you thought."

Looking in Leah's direction, Miss Heart Demon nodded slightly, then continued:

“Rius Frenz, the one you know in reality, is actually someone I had a connection with before.” Before Chief K was born, I secretly implanted his consciousness into his unborn body, allowing him to be born into this world with a clear mind, retaining his memories from that technological world in a way similar to reincarnation.”

After saying all this, the girl with the inner demons slowly exhaled, and then spoke again: "Lius Frenz, he is my brother, and the person I have always held dear..."

Chapter 359: My Dream Home (Part 8)

“My elder brother… lost his memories and hasn’t recovered them yet, so he doesn’t recognize you, Miss Heart Demon… and he has no recollection of anything that happened in the past…” Upon hearing Miss Heart Demon’s words, after her initial shock, Lia slowly nodded, a glimmer of understanding appearing in her eyes.

"I knew it was true." Hmm? "I knew it? Did you already anticipate this conclusion?" Seeing Lia's expression, Miss Heart Demon paused, seemingly surprised, and asked, "Yes... After all, Miss Heart Demon, you've been hinting at this all along, and your words have been guiding everything toward the adult. It's hard not to draw this conclusion."

As she spoke these words, Lia nodded slightly, and the look in her eyes became even clearer.

Although I had somewhat anticipated this from the beginning, hearing it actually was still quite surprising... So, my elder brother actually had certain memories and consciousness from birth? Memories of that technological world? Although he's only fifteen now, is his inner age actually much older?

Looking at the Demoness again, Lia gradually understood some things and asked her the question. The Demoness nodded slightly and continued speaking to the girl in front of her with a slightly embarrassed tone:

"Regarding age, generally speaking, she's not too old..." How old is "not too old"? Based on your deduction, Miss Heart Demon, can we draw a clear conclusion? Looking in Miss Heart Demon's direction, Lia continued to ask.

"Well, after all, my brother's memories of the time he spent with me haven't returned yet. For my brother now, the memories in his mind should be the dozen or so years he experienced in the technological world, and the fifteen years he experienced after returning to this world. Added together, it's at most thirty or forty years, which isn't too much. You don't need to worry about anything."

"I see... Actually, I didn't mind my brother at all, I was just curious about this. Besides, I was quite surprised, I didn't expect Lord K to be so mature..." With an intoxicated expression, Lia smiled slightly, seemingly very happy, and couldn't help but continue muttering to herself:

"For thirty or forty years, no wonder Leah has always wanted to rely on him. Hehe, when he's with Leah, he acts like a father to comfort her. It felt so good back then. I'll have to keep looking for opportunities to act cute with my older brother..."

Hearing the girl's expectant words, Miss Heart Demon was somewhat surprised, seemingly not expecting Lia's sudden smile. After a few seconds of silence, she coughed lightly and spoke to Lia:

"You... have no doubts about what I just said, about everything I just described and what I experienced?"

"Hmm... well, I was a little suspicious at first, but after thinking about it carefully, if you really wanted to make Lia suspicious, you wouldn't have said these far-fetched things, right? These things don't sound real at all, which makes them more credible. So I think you don't want to deceive me, but now I'm becoming more and more curious about your past experiences."

Looking in the direction of Miss Heart Demon, Lia tilted her head slightly, her eyes filled with even more intense contemplation. Her gaze swept back and forth over the girl's body as she considered her next move. "I remember you just said, Miss Heart Demon... that you transferred Lord K's consciousness into his body, and did so when Lord K was still a fetus. In other words... Miss Heart Demon, you did indeed travel to the past in some way, which is why everything you did was successful, right?"

“From your perspective, it’s true that I seem to have traveled through time, I can’t deny that, but that’s not the whole story of my origins. If you want to know more about me, I recommend… asking my elder brother directly.” Miss Heart Demon replied, looking at Leah.

"Should we ask our elder brother directly? Is that a proper thing to do?"

Faced with Miss Heart Demon's words, Lia looked at her with some surprise, seemingly finding her words a bit strange. Miss Heart Demon continued to nod, saying, "That's right. As for my matter, you can ask your elder brother. That's my idea. Then, whatever you want to know, you will be able to get the corresponding answer."

"This... I know my brother knows many things, but about you, Miss Heart Demon... hasn't he already forgotten? Forgotten about the experiences he had with you, Miss Heart Demon? In that case, what kind of clues can I possibly find?" Looking at Miss Heart Demon, Lia continued to ask.

"Although my elder brother has lost his memories, if it were you... perhaps you could restore his memories. Once he recalls that past experience, perhaps... it might make him take fate more seriously, and then he would have a chance to overcome it."

"So, Miss Heart Demon, you still want Chief K to regain his memories of you, huh?"

After her initial surprise, Lia gradually came to her senses upon hearing the words of the demonic girl. She muttered the words the girl had just spoken, and then nodded slightly to her.

"If this is what you mean, then Lia understands. Since it is a memory that my elder brother once lost, then Lia also has a responsibility to help him recover it. In any case, this is something that must be done, so leave it to Lia."

As she said this, Lia seemed to remember something else. After blinking, she continued to ask the white-haired girl in front of her:

"By the way, regarding my elder brother... should I inform him about Miss Heart Demon's situation beforehand? I think if my elder brother knows about it, he will try his best to assist. If my elder brother accompanies us in the investigation, it will definitely make things twice as effective."

"Should I let my brother know about me beforehand...? Is that alright? Will he really not blame me? I'm worried he might be unhappy..." Faced with Lia's words, the Demon Girl pursed her lips and hesitated. Lia shook her head vigorously, stretched out her small hands, and took the Demon Girl's arm, speaking to her earnestly:

"No, as I said before, my elder brother would never do that. He is a very gentle person, at least to you, Miss Heart Demon. If he knew about what happened to you, he would feel nothing but pity and kindness. He wouldn't even say a harsh word, let alone blame you. You don't need to worry, Miss Heart Demon!"

"Hey, feel this white-haired girl who suddenly hooves in front of you." Miss Heart Demon lowered her eyes slightly, looking somewhat flustered for a moment, especially when she felt her arms being tightly held by Lia, which made her appear rather wolfish.

"You... let me go right now! Getting so close all of a sudden and pulling at me like this, what kind of behavior is this!"

"Ah, a hug! I got a little too excited. I suddenly thought about my brother, and it made me lose control of my emotions. Sorry, Miss Heart Demon." Looking at the girl in front of her, Lia smiled mischievously, seemingly without any remorse. The girl in front of her sighed helplessly, shook her head at the white-haired girl, and continued speaking:

"Hoo... Regarding you, we have the same face, so why is there such a big difference between our personalities? Although this difference may change or influence fate, it has to be said... it's still too difficult to control."

"Hmm? We're talking about the difference between me and you, Miss Heart Demon, again? So is there some inside story I don't know about that's making you so concerned, Miss Heart Demon?" Lia asked further, seeing Miss Heart Demon's helpless expression.

"No...it's nothing. Just pretend I didn't say anything. Let's not talk about your personal matters for now, and let's continue discussing Lord K's next actions."

Looking in Leah's direction, the inner demon hesitated for a moment, then finally shook her head slightly. Instead of revealing her innermost thoughts, she slowly opened her lips and began to express her final words:

"When my elder brother's memories are restored, it doesn't matter what his attitude towards me is, whether he is friendly or hateful. As long as his memories are restored, he will surely understand his own situation. Only then will he have the opportunity to resist fate and resist the fate that has deliberately destroyed him."

“Hmm… I understand what you said, Miss Heart Demon. So now… shouldn’t Lia wake up too? We’ll have to tell my brother all about this, which will take a lot of time. If she continues to sleep like this, it will delay things.”

That's right. Now, Lia, close your eyes for a moment. I will input a portion of my energy into your consciousness. Then you will not only be able to use some of my abilities, but you can also summon me anytime, anywhere, so that I can temporarily appear in reality.

As Miss Inner Demon spoke, just before she was about to transfer energy, she paused slightly and added:

Also… regarding my elder brother, after you wake up, please don't let me appear before him yet. I'm not ready to meet him, so… please restrain me a little.”

"If this is what you, Miss Heart Demon, are thinking, then Lia understands. Lia will only tell your brother about your affairs. As for your feelings for your brother, you should wait until you are ready before telling him."

"Thank you for your kind words, Lia." The Demoness pursed her lips and nodded to the girl with gratitude. Then, she gently extended her finger and placed it on the girl's forehead, transmitting energy that emitted bursts of blood-red light into the girl's mind. In this dream world, Lia's entire body was immersed in the light.

"May this power help you break free from that fate... break free from the shackles of destiny."

"Well... although you keep talking about fate and such, as for Lia... I don't really understand fate at all. The only thing Lia cares about is her brother. As long as her brother can live a peaceful life, that would be the most gratifying thing for Lia."

With heartfelt words, Lia spoke to the Demoness, who hesitated for a moment before nodding slightly.

"Regardless of your thoughts, I have my own judgment on matters of fate. Now that you have successfully accepted my power, you must carefully consider this matter and absolutely cannot act rashly, understand?"

"Yes, I will be serious and attentive. Please rest assured and entrust everything to me, Miss Heart Demon."

With a lively and adorable tone, Lia smiled gently and nodded vigorously to the white-haired girl in front of her. Then, she tried to control the red glow that was constantly flowing out of her body, allowing her entire body to merge into this energy and move around in this space of consciousness.

A gentle breeze rustled around Lia, gradually enveloping her entire body before transforming into wisps of translucent energy mist. This mist caused Lia's body to become ethereal, and she gradually disappeared from the pure white space, surrounded by energy.

"Well then, farewell for now. I hope that when we meet again, Miss Heart Demon, you will show a different side of yourself."

As Lia gradually disappeared, the previously silent inner demon pursed her lips slightly, her eyes filled with even more melancholy.

"Is this... me in this world? This reconstructed world... Although I have been observing it for a long time, I did not expect that there would be such a big difference in personality between me and it... There is a strange sense of mystery about this Lia. If it is her, perhaps she really can change the fate that I was originally destined to go through."

Muttering soft words, Miss Heart Demon placed her hand on her chest, feeling the simulated heartbeat, and a deep contemplation appeared in her eyes.

"I hope you won't disappoint me, the life I created."

Chapter 360: Conversation After Awakening (Part 1)

Slowly waking from her sleep, Lia's eyes narrowed slightly as she realized she had returned to reality.

Once her vision cleared, the girl's first thought was whether what she had just experienced was merely a dream. Now that she was awake, could she forget the things that happened in her dream?

"Were those things just a dream?"

"Hey! What are you thinking? I'm still in your consciousness, don't ignore me." "Oh, Miss Heart Demon, you're still here?" Lia said with some surprise. "Of course I'm here... I'm now a part of your consciousness. On one hand, I'm supervising you in your fight against fate, and on the other hand, I'm preventing any more variables from appearing around my brother. If anything unexpected happens, I can give you a timely warning. Don't think you can get rid of me so easily."

Feeling the voice suddenly in her mind, Leah blinked again, realizing that what she had experienced was completely real. After a brief moment of stunned silence, she quickly shook her head to fully wake herself up.

"Ahem, so... Miss Heart Demon, are you going to exist in my consciousness like this from now on? And talk to me from time to time?" "Not entirely. This state can't last too long. I can only talk to you occasionally. The rest of the time I can only wait quietly in your mind and watch your every move. So don't have any too many thoughts about me. Even if I want to give you some advice, I can only speak at the crucial moment. Don't expect to rely on me forever, understand?"

“Hmm…Lia understands. Lia can think for herself, Miss Heart Demon. You don’t need to worry.” Listening to Miss Heart Demon’s words in her mind, Lia nodded slightly, then continued to focus her gaze on the room she was in and looked at the clock hanging on the wall next to her.

It was almost dusk, and I had slept for about seven or eight hours.

It was already late outside, and bursts of orange light shone down from outside, illuminating Leah's bed.

The bed was now a mess, apparently because the person had been twisting and turning in their sleep, making a mess of the sheets and blankets. Pillows and some overly long sheets were scattered on the floor, creating a very chaotic scene.

"Oh dear, it's such a mess. It wouldn't be good if someone saw it. We need to tidy it up quickly."

Looking at her surroundings, Lia glanced around and pondered this in her heart. She quickly put the bedding and pillows back in their original positions and stepped onto the ground beside her, intending to get up from the bedside.

"Knock knock knock" Just as she moved, a series of footsteps suddenly came from outside the door. They sounded light and agile, accompanied by the sound of the doorknob turning. This made Lia lower her eyes slightly and turn her gaze toward the bedroom door.

"That footsteps... they sound so familiar, could it be my elder brother!"

Such thoughts filled the girl's mind, causing Lia to stop tidying the room and look intently towards the door.

And what happened next was exactly as she had imagined. The door slowly opened as the doorknob turned, and then Lius's figure appeared through the crack in the door, coming into Lia's sight. He also saw Lia lying on the bed, and a slightly surprised look appeared in his eyes.

"Read? Leah, are you awake? I thought you were still asleep."

"Still asleep... Brother, does that mean you came to see Leah earlier?"

"Yes, I came back to the room once before and saw that you were still asleep, so I didn't disturb you too much. It was getting dark, and I was worried that you would continue to sleep, so I planned to come and wake you up now. Now that you're awake, I feel a little more at ease."

"Is that so?" Upon seeing Lius's figure, Lia pursed her lips slightly. For some reason, a strong sense of dependence suddenly welled up inside her, causing her to involuntarily stretch out her arms towards Lius, her eyes filled with a coquettish gaze.

"Chief Dui, um?"

Meanwhile, Leus, sensing Lia's slight wriggling and the shy expression on her face, paused briefly before realizing what she meant. He nodded, then slowly walked to the bedside, reached out, and pulled the expectant white-haired girl into his arms, stroking her hair as if petting a cat.

"Hehe... Brother. As expected, you understand Lia the best. I was really missing you just now... Now I can finally spend time with you again."

Under Lius's caress, Lia nuzzled against his chest slightly, a particularly contented smile appearing on her lips, making the girl appear obedient and docile, which was very endearing.

"Ha, it's only been a short time since we parted, and you miss me this much, Lia? It's really nice to have such a clingy little sister."

As Lius continued to stroke the girl's head, a smile of satisfaction appeared on his face. His body felt slightly ticklish as Lia nuzzled against him. He then shifted the angle of the girl in his arms, letting her sit on his lap, her arms intertwined with his, creating an exceptionally intimate moment between them.

Feeling their hearts pounding faster, the atmosphere around them grew even more intimate. "Hehe, brother's scent... it's so addictive no matter how many times I experience it." Leah's little nose twitched slightly, and her smile grew even more serene. Her eyelids began to droop, as if she wanted to lie back in the boy's arms and have a peaceful nap.

However, at this moment, the voice in her mind rang out again, interrupting Lia's originally pleasant and lazy thoughts.

“Hey…didn’t you just say you were going to report my situation to your elder brother? Now you look like you’re about to fall asleep again. This is very important information. The sooner your elder brother knows about it, the more chance he will have to escape from his fate. You should also pay close attention to it.”

"Don't be so nervous, Miss Heart Demon. It's almost evening now. Your brother must be exhausted after reporting to Her Majesty the Queen all day. Let's not make him handle any more things at this time. There's plenty of time. There's no need to be so anxious."

In response to Miss Heart Demon's words, Lia did not agree with her much. Instead, she muttered to herself and continued to rub her head against Lius's chest, yawning from time to time, making herself look more like a lazy little kitten being comforted by her older brother.

"Mmm, so comfortable. Brother's hands are so big and warm... I don't want to let go." Hey. We can do that later. Let me give you the information first!

"I told you not to rush things... Besides, Miss Heart Demon, you can feel your brother's touch right now, right? You're clearly enjoying this feeling, aren't you? So why do you keep wanting me to separate from Chief Ke as soon as possible?"

Lia muttered something slowly to herself, and upon hearing this, Miss Heart Demon was slightly taken aback. She was momentarily captivated by Lia's words, and then suddenly realized what was happening, feeling a gentle and warm touch coming from the top of her head.

"My elder brother's touch..."

Muttering these words to herself, Miss Heart Demon swallowed slightly, her body unable to help but relax in Leah's mind, feeling the gentle caress.

"Hehe... Miss Heart Demon, you've finally come to understand, haven't you? Being able to get along with your brother like this isn't something everyone gets to enjoy, so don't overthink it anymore, just continue to enjoy it with us."

As she uttered these words, Lia shifted her body again, gently swaying in response to Lius's movements, maintaining a comfortable and harmonious posture with her brother in the room where they were alone.

Amidst this comfortable feeling, Lia gently closed her eyes, letting out adorable moans as she took another nap in her brother's arms. Lius, with a doting expression, soothed his obedient stepsister, enjoying this peaceful moment.

The silent reassurance lasted for about half an hour. When Leah woke up again, the sky had completely darkened, with only the flickering light in the room illuminating the two figures on the bed.

"Phew... I can finally relax. Hehe, brother's embrace is so addictive! If I didn't have something to tell you, I'd love to stay in your arms forever!" Awakening from Lius's embrace, Lia murmured softly, stretching lazily and settling into a comfortable, slightly ambiguous position. Hearing this, Lius, slightly curious, leaned closer, massaging Lia's shoulders as he asked, "Oh? Something to tell me? Is it something important?"

"As for whether it's important or not, it's definitely extremely important. For example... it's something related to you, Elder Lieutenant..." Regarding Lia's statement about something related to him, Lius tilted his head slightly, while Lia leaned closer, took a deep breath with a serious tone, and continued speaking to her elder brother with a solemn attitude:

“That’s right, it’s related to you, brother. And what you’re about to hear… may be hard to believe, even for me. When I first heard about it, I was shocked and could hardly believe it. But after I went through some things, I realized that those things were completely real, and there was absolutely nothing false about them.”

"Oh? Leah, you're so serious. It makes me curious too."

Sensing Leah's earnest and serious expression, Leus narrowed his eyes, his gaze mirroring hers. He nodded gently to the white-haired girl before him and said:

"Well, since you have something so important to tell me, Lia, you don't need to hold back anymore. I promise you, no matter what I hear later, no matter how far-fetched these things are, I will completely believe you and will never have any doubts."

"Thank you, elder brother." Feeling the absolute trust in Lius's gaze and tone, Lia nodded gratefully. She then took another deep breath and spoke to the blond boy before her with a clear and understanding tone:

"This matter... begins with a series of experiences in Leah's previous dreams."

Chapter 361: Conversation After Awakening (Part Two)

Some time later, inside the room.

"So... this is what you experienced in your dream, Leah, about that inner demon and all the things you saw?"

Listening to the silver-haired girl recount her experiences, Leus appeared deep in thought, carefully examining Lia's small head. He channeled a portion of his magic into the girl's body, seemingly conducting some kind of examination. Lia, while Leus was examining her, nodded vigorously, displaying a very serious expression, and continued speaking:

“That’s right, brother, I can completely guarantee that feeling. It’s so real… I can also fully understand that what that inner demon lady said is not false at all. For me… that fate, and what you will experience after you, Lord K, may indeed become that situation… a situation where you and I are enemies… And my past experiences, those hidden memories… Sigh, it’s really hard to accept that so many things have been told to me all at once.”

As Lius listened to the girl's words, he kept recalling his past experiences, shook his head slightly, and couldn't quite explain what kind of emotion he should show.

If one were to say that they feel pessimistic or resentful about their fate, it seems there is nothing to it. After all, all the choices they made were voluntary, and they have no regrets or remorse, so there is no need for them to have any regrets.

However, it would be an exaggeration to say that he has no complaints about his past experiences.

However, this complaint was not about what the inner demon had done, but rather about a hidden memory of his own. Lius felt that there must be something very important hidden in that memory, otherwise, he would not have such turbulent emotions.
