Volume 2 The Birth of the Demon King Chapter 123 Rebirth(2/2)
"Huh? This thing can be so refreshing?" This time it was Cornes' turn to be surprised.
"Haha, I'm not a fool," Leonard showed a wry smile, and then said, "You become like this just to let me know your true identity. I have heard of the Dark Knight of the Demon Clan. If I
If I don't agree to your request, you will definitely kill me, so I have no choice but to follow your wishes."
"Well, very good, you are indeed a smart man," Cornes smiled with satisfaction, but he was dismissive of him in his heart.
"However," Leonard added, "I will give you the throne when the time comes, what will happen to me?"
"Well, don't worry, we are not as vicious as humans. After that, you will be considered a person who has made contributions to the demons. The demons will not treat you badly." Cornes promised him firmly.
"Really? That's great. It's an honor to serve the Demon Clan." Leonard smiled happily.
"Then, according to your human habits, drink to our great plan." Cornes raised his glass, and he didn't know when he filled himself up with another glass of wine.
However, when Leonard picked up the bottle, he found that there was not a drop left, so he could only toast to him with an empty glass.
At this time, although he had a smile on his face, he felt bitter inside. He did not expect that all his efforts would be in vain.
Once upon a time, in his struggle for power and gain, he even destroyed his own family.
He personally killed his wife because her father was his political enemy and he was afraid that she would assassinate him.
Later, his only daughter broke up with him and even threatened to avenge her mother.
Naturally, he would not let it go, but when he raised the butcher knife towards his daughter, he still couldn't bear to swing it.
In short, such a big sacrifice ended up being a wedding dress for others.
He finally regretted his investment in this lucrative field, and regretted being a candidate for the throne. Unfortunately, everything could not be reversed, and some things were destined to be unchangeable.
