The Transmigration Survival Guide

I had never thought about being wary of Leah. I didnt think she meant any malicious intent. The throne could control demons, but what did that have anything to do with me? There were no more demons. If someone could control demons by sitting on the throne, the bishop, the pope or Sisi wouldve hijacked it already. Thered be no way they would leave it sitting there. I assumed Angelina was too tense. Moreover, even if I wanted to leave, it would be inappropriate, wouldnt it? Trying to travel at night in foreign land was dangerous no matter how I thought about it. To add, it was pouring. Sure, there were some small tents at the former camp that were still standing. I wasnt convinced they could keep me dry, however.
Ross, light up the candles. Leah, is there any place to stay in this castle?
Leah excitedly grabbed my hand and replied, This way, Papa. Our room is in the corridor we saw when we first entered. That was where my original dad, wives and children were. Leah was just alone at the time, though. Leah doesnt know where everyone else went.
I killed thirteen, informed Veirya, calmly looking at Leah.
Leah shuddered.
Oh, I killed more, then. I killed sixteen, boasted Angelina, arms folded.
Leah shrieked and dashed behind me. Although they were just siblings and not really her family, scaring Leah with that wasnt appropriate Of course, I was more focused on why the Demon King was allowed to have children in that fashion.
Does being a Demon King provide one with the privilege of boldly starting a harem and having children left, right and centre? If thats how it is, being a Demon King isnt so bad Stop, stop, stop, what am I thinking? If I think about it carefully, what Im doing now is no different to what the Demon King did. I cant tell my future child with Veirya that Leah was our only child in name. Additionally, if I have assets, our child would be the only one to inherit it when he or she is actually my second child. My first child might have to succeed the empires throne, I mused.
I caressed Leahs head and thought, Make that my third. Actually, if that was how they were ranked, Lucilias adopted child So my only or rather, he or she would be my last child That sounds sort of sad I should stop. If I dont say anything, our child wont know and neither will anyone else
The place really looked as though there were people maintaining the place once Ross lit up two candles. It had been a long time, yet there was still oil and wick as though the castle didnt have any history, leading to me questioning, who exactly is maintaining this place?
Sisi would ransack the castle, yet the castles interior was unbelievably tidy. I could feel everything with my touch. Ross wouldnt have been able to light candles if we were in an illusion. Angelina lit up a candle she took from the entrance and passed it to Leah, who led the way.
I recognised the red carpet stretching along the long corridor behind the throne that we tread on for my face had been planted on it before. The corridor was exactly as I remembered it. As such, it felt extremely oppressive for me. None of us spoke a word, while the flickering flames stretched and contorted our shadows.
Ross continued to light up candles on the way, but the light didnt help relieve me of the horror haunting me. To the contrary, it only served to rattle me more. Silent and bright flames in a narrow corridor, tell me thats not freaky.
After walking for some time, the path widened all of a sudden. It explained why Veirya was able to hunt Leah with a sword back then. I couldnt identify where I first hugged Leah. To me, all the walls were identical.
I didnt know why they had to design such a long corridor. We had to walk for ages before finally sighting some doors. Curious, I opened a room that I presumed one of the childrens rooms.
Nothing inside matched my expectations. Sure, I wasnt informed of the demons appearance, nature and whatnot. Still, my impression was that they shouldve had blood-themed decorations in their rooms since they were a violent race. It just surprised me that they were so clean and tidy. As a matter of fact, the style bore a striking resemblance to the room I shared with Leah. Scratch that; it was the exact same. There was a large bed, simple bedside cupboards, a timber table and chairs, as well as a wardrobe and window. I wondered if I was having hallucinations. The floor felt the same as the flooring we had in our property in the North, even creaking the same way. The rain outside coursed down the window pane that chilled my hand. There was no doubt that everything was real. Nothing felt foreign.
Leah, this room
Whats wrong, Papa?
Isnt this room our room in the North? How is it the exact same?
But this is how it always was, Leah innocently claimed.
Veirya was as confounded as I was.
Theyre too similar. This is copy and paste. Why is a room in the Demon Kings castle the exact same as our room in the North? I pondered.
I suddenly recalled Angelinas warning: Beware of Leah Thats right. We were in the Demon Kings castle, a place that none of us were familiar with. The one who was familiar with it was Leah.
I had one main question: What exactly is hiding behind Leahs smile?
