Chapter 461 (2/2)

Y’zaks touched his chin and said, “Hmm, that makes sense. Anyway, we must slowly put the concept of ‘Goddess’ to everyone. This is a true Goddess, not those false gods in our homeland. The Goddess can’t be vilified. And we must be grateful.”

Then Y’zaks asked Vimm casually, “How do you call on new believers? Although I’ve met the Goddess a few times, I really did not dare to ask things about this.”

For a second, Vimm’s expression looked interesting. He hesitated, looked at Hao Ren, and then smiled. “Try to believe in the Goddess a little. It’s free anyway.”

“… Are you serious?” Y’zaks asked.

Hao Ren and Vimm slapped their foreheads and said in unison, “The Goddess is serious!”

“Oh,” Y’zaks said.

Looking at the busy scene of the city, Y’zaks was pondering. Suddenly, he sighed and ordered Lanina, “Let Zadamor run the city in the future. He is good at internal affairs, he can manage the city and people better than you do. There should be no war in the future, so you can help dealing with the internal affairs and serve as a liaison between the new Aerym Planet and the Earth. Y’lisabet is still young. She will be crowned king after she reaches the age of 600. Before this … I’m going to bother you two.”

Lanina looked even more bewildered now. She gazed at Y’zaks and asked, “King, do you … Aren’t you going to stay?”

“What am I staying for?” Y’zaks said and smiled. “Serathon said something quite right before he died. My time has passed. The reign of the old demon king has its end. I can only let the empire run in the form of a war machine, but what the people need now is a secure environment to recuperate and rebuild the culture. This is not an old man like me can handle. I’m not even as good as Y’lisabet at this. So I should step down wisely. At least I’m not going to be a fatuous king.”

Lanina immediately yelled, “How could you a fatuous king…”

Y’zaks gently waved his hand and said, “I’m not fatuous during the war, but it’s hard to say in peacetime. Kingship is not eternal. My kid, you should be happy, for I am to retire from the throne, not to be kicked out. I believe you and Zadamor will be able to maintain our empire before Y’lisabet coronation and continue to assist Y’lisabet after her succession. Oh, Zadamor has proved that he can do well in this aspect, and I believe that my adopted daughter will also do it well.”

Looking at Y’zaks resolute face, Lanina could only nod and said, “I got it.”

Y’zaks put Y’lisabet down from his shoulder. The little girl blinked her big eyes at her father, looked like she did not really understand what her dad just said. However, Hao Ren reckoned that the smart little girl should understand it.

“My girl, also remember this, the kingship is not eternal,” Y’zaks said while he was touching Y’lisabet’s head. “I told you many years ago, one day my reign will reach its end and you, will take the crown…”

Hao Ren then covered his face and muttered, “If one day the old king were defeated, these words are to blame…”
