Having a powerful lord as a father figure, what's wrong with just wanting to draw cards?

The two women lifted their skirts and curtsied, exchanging a normal greeting. But the next second, Kelsey noticed something was amiss: how did Princess Domi come out of her room?!

Her gaze swept over Shia—the wrinkled skirt, the disheveled hair, the slightly angry expression…

Ah, I see. Oh, I see.

Kelsey suddenly realized, but she felt that this scene was somewhat familiar.

Never mind, out of kindness, Kelsey offered a gentle reminder:

"Your Highness, while such things may be beneficial to physical and mental health, you must also pay attention to contraception. As far as I know, the master and mistress aren't in such a hurry to have children..."

Upon hearing this, Xia immediately sensed something was wrong, and her face flushed red.

"No...that's not how it is! Domi is only seven years old! I should wait at least another five years! Please let me explain!"

Chapter 120, Page 119: As you can see, a ring.

In the following days, after Shia had fully understood the Book of Heralds, she also found a female tattoo artist to draw a delicate little red rose on her back, directly opposite her heart, as the mark of her herald.

It is also at level six, just like Domi.

After telling his friends about it, they also clamored to have one.

After the battle at the Dynasty Tomb, everyone must have come to realize the importance of magic reserves; Aivi and Rosa even fell into a coma because of it.

So the two tattoo artists received a big order, and you might not believe it, but they essentially became the lord's personal tattoo artists.

Working tirelessly from dawn till dusk for three days and three nights, everyone's emblems were finally completed.

Aside from Domi's Qilin Treading Ghost and Shia's Rose, Rosa chose the collapsing Time Tower, which is said to be the holy land of all time-based mages.

Despite her soft and cute appearance, Rosa actually has a heart that yearns for power, just like her father Carlos, pursuing the ultimate time magic.

Aiwei chose a figurative wind, like the clouds under the feet of the Domi Qilin. Both of them were engraved on their backs, in the same position as Shia. It takes up little space and is very compact, so it will not affect the aesthetics in the future.

Edward and Argyle represent the other extreme.

When they saw the imposing tattoo on Domi's left chest, they were incredibly envious and insisted on having one just as imposing, claiming that brothers should be in perfect harmony.

So Argyle got a wolf king tattooed on her head, and Edward went even further, getting a Western fantasy dragon tattoo that went past his shoulders.

The tattoo artist, being a local 'native,' was adept at drawing real dragons, showing none of the awkwardness he displayed when drawing qilin.

Both of them chose black as their sole color. The three brothers standing together do give off a gangster vibe. If they grew a little older, their intimidating presence might increase.

With the Book of Heraldry finished, Shia no longer had any reason to stay.

If you think about it carefully, she has indeed stayed here for quite a while, and it's time to return to Lionheart City, that oppressive and suffocating place.

It wasn't that she didn't want to stay here, but that she had to go back. Even though she was just a princess, there were certain occasions she had to attend.

Her adoptive mother, the current queen, would not allow her to remain in the mountaintop castle indefinitely.

The night before she left, she had a private chat with Domi.

She said she couldn't travel far from home for at least two years, but she would definitely come on his tenth birthday. She regretted not being able to attend his eighth and ninth birthdays, but she would still send him gifts.

"I'll help you secretly retrieve the Soul Eater relics from the royal treasury~"

She winked playfully, then rode off in her carriage.

Soon after, Aivi and her mother Lucia were also due to end their "visit" and leave.

Aiwei also received a gift from Domi—an epic wind-type staff.

The blueprints for that thing were drawn by Domi a long time ago. After it was forged, it just sat in the warehouse collecting dust. Now it has finally found a suitable person to use it.

"Thank you, I really like it!" Aiwei seemed genuinely happy. "As a return gift, I've thought of something that would suit you perfectly, Domi, but it will take some time."

"No need for return gifts. I have no use for this staff, so it just so happens to be suitable to give it to you."

"No, no, no, that won't do. Three years... just three years, I will definitely get it!"

"That thing is really hard to find, but it's also incredibly powerful! Wait for me!"

After spouting a bunch of riddles, Aiwei also left.

The massive mountaintop castle felt much quieter without its two companions, a fact that Argyle could clearly sense, while Edward kept sighing.

Although our loved ones have passed away, life must go on.

It doesn't really matter to Domi, because they can still see each other in the future; absence makes the heart grow fonder.

The next day, he did what he was supposed to do—absorbing the immortal energy in the morning, doing morning exercises, attending classes, and spending the afternoon and evening in the library.

In his view, cultural knowledge remains the primary productive force.

He also has super-powerful features like photographic memory and the ability to read ten lines at a glance, which he should make good use of.

From astronomy, geography, mythology, and metaphysics to humanities, law, folk customs, health preservation, painting, ancient history, magic, architecture, mechanical engineering, zoology and botany, racial conflicts, and the study of emperors, he studied everything imaginable.

The sheer volume of knowledge naturally requires a significant amount of time to learn, and he needs to properly cultivate himself.

This period of settling down lasted for a full five years.

When Domi was eight years old, the empire was at peace.

Aurora has always been active on the front lines, achieving great feats and gaining a reputation comparable to Merlin's. She has won the support of many soldiers and has become another strong competitor for the throne.

Arena, born in the Demon King's castle of Hohenzollern, works as a cleaner in a slaughterhouse, which means sweeping, mopping, and wiping away bloodstains.

She initially thought it was a dead-end job, but to her surprise, she discovered that she could absorb the essence of animals through the methods taught in the Succubus Heart Sutra!

The number of animals in the slaughterhouse was second only to those in the farm. Since they were all going to die anyway, she sucked them dry, enjoying the freebies for a whole year.

Compared to its initial blank state upon birth, its strength has increased significantly.

That year, through the feedback mechanism of the blank template, Aurora provided [Riding Skills (Masterful)], [Cooking (Flatbread)], and 50 villain points.

As a proper succubus, Arena only focused on absorbing life force and did nothing else but provide 1 villain points from animal resentment.

In terms of villain value acquisition, the B-level milestone 'The End of the Bronze Age' provides him with 100 million villain values ​​every year.

With this stable source of income, Domi can relax in the library without worrying about accumulating villain points every day.

Nine years old.

The war between the Lionheart Empire and the Demon Race ended in victory for the Empire. With the Demon Race no longer a formidable opponent, a large number of elite troops were regrouped and then deployed to conquer neighboring countries and regions.

The empire's territory was constantly expanding, and refugees from all over the world began to arrive within its borders. After a period of assimilation, they would become citizens of the empire.

Cultures began to blend, and ideologies also clashed considerably.

At the same time, due to the war, countless minor nobles emerged, most of whom were soldiers who had distinguished themselves on the battlefield.

Upon returning home, they were naturally promoted and granted titles and honors, but they received almost no fiefdoms because the empire did not have enough land to distribute to them. The newly acquired lands were basically divided up by the three major families, including the royal family and the Bloomfield family, and their subordinate nobles.

The Bloomfield family gained a large following of minor nobles.

The golden tree saplings purchased at the auction were eventually used in the mage tower 'Giant Tree', which may become the golden tree of the human race.

Bloomfield's use of the golden tree saplings relieved the Elf Queen's greatest worry. She then directly announced the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Bloomfield family, and the two families made a fortune through trade.

It is worth mentioning that Edward played an important role in this trade.

Perhaps in Carlos's view, this was just an opportunity for his son to gain experience.

In the same year, the war between the Forest Elf Kingdom and the Demon Clan also came to an end, and most of the soldiers returned to the capital.

Merlin, the chosen one, may have realized Aurora's ambitions and finally restrained his infatuation with her, officially engaging in a political confrontation with her.

Having reached a bottleneck in her development, Alena was no longer satisfied with the essence of livestock and officially ventured into the world of romance and pleasure.

Using the dream-creating abilities from the Heart Sutra, one can make guests feel blissfully happy in a dream they have fabricated, and in return, collect a certain amount of vital energy as payment.

Their strength increased dramatically again in a short period of time, but they were still relatively weak compared to other demons.

At the end of the year, when the villain value rewards were settled, the two of them gave back 130 million villain values ​​to Domi through the feedback mechanism. This time, Arena's contribution accounted for the majority, with a full 120 million villain values ​​coming from her.

Sure enough, as long as it involves a bit of color, the system always gives a satisfactory response.

Ten years old.

The probability increase for drawing cards has been changed to 'Magic Talent', meaning the probability of drawing a Magic Talent is now greater.

Domi, with the villain points in his pocket, took out 300 million to use for a regular card draw.

All magical talents (excluding branch magic systems) were drawn to 'intermediate' level, the only advanced wind magic talent was given to Aurora, and the charm talent was upgraded to advanced level for Arenna.

After giving them both advanced magic, I actually kept the same intermediate magic for my own use.

A quick calculation suggests he probably has around 18 different magic-based talents now.

He only learned the most practical magic, trying to learn too much at once and ending up with nothing to master.

For example, you can use wind magic to slow down your fall, fire magic to start a fire, water magic to wash clothes, and spatial magic to retrieve items from a distance. You can even turn off the lights while lying in bed. These are not very useful in battle, but they are quite convenient in daily life.

I won't go into detail about the numerous life skills I've acquired. Besides these skills and magical talents, I also drew some rather useful talent skill items:

With fair skin, spider senses, innate allure, and the bloodline of a nine-tailed fox, she possesses an analysis panel (for general analysis of specified items), an inherited skill upgrade license (allowing for synchronization of a blank template with the main skill level), and the Dark Moon Ring (absorbing moonlight to subtly nourish the body).

Talents that enhance charm include things like naturally radiant, flawless skin; an innate allure that emanates from within; and the nine-tailed fox bloodline that amplifies one's seductive abilities...

Domi packed all these things and gave them to Alena, while the rest were things she could use herself and would consume them herself.

Arena did not disappoint Domi, and immediately became the 'Queen of Courtesans' in the Demon King's Castle Hohenzollern, worth a thousand gold pieces for a single night!

The guests they received changed from the initial lesser demons to powerful demons, and even female demons came to learn their skills.

The energy you get from them is plentiful and of high quality; one deal with them is equivalent to ten deals from before.

Her fame was so great that even the Demon King took notice of her existence...

It directly contributed 240 million villain points to Domi, while Aurora only had 20, which was obtained by constantly arguing with Merlin.

However, Aurora also gave herself a "groundbreaking" level of "Archery Mastery," so their contributions were quite significant.

However, Domi was the main character that year, because all four of the Broadfield children turned ten.

Compared to the first birthday banquet, the banquet held for the tenth birthday is much grander, with people from all directions coming to pay homage and a gathering of heroes, symbolizing the prosperity and flourishing of Bloomfield and the Lionheart Empire.

Carlos also announced at the banquet that Rosa was his biological child.

Even though a top nobleman had an affair and his lover was already dead, no one could say anything, and no one dared to say anything. The atmosphere at the banquet remained cheerful.
