“Your Holiness,” the beautiful queen said, her face full of sorrow, “the king and I have come to the Papacy to pray that the Goddess of Light will grant us a child.”

The fact that the Queen could so openly express her desire for offspring suggests that she was truly desperate. Looking at the King beside her, although he remained silent, his expression was not good either.

The King and Queen have been married for many years but have no children, which is detrimental to the succession of the royal family. If they really have no children, other members of the royal family will definitely have other ideas, and even think about sending their own children to the palace to be adopted by the King and Queen.

Even with both biological parents alive, an adopted child can never truly be a close relative. Moreover, those royal relatives didn't simply want to send their children to the palace to become the king and queen's adopted sons. How could the king and queen not understand their motives?

Faced with the king and queen's eagerness for a child, Herman simply said, "If the king and queen sincerely pray in the Holy See for a month, the merciful goddess will surely hear your wishes. However, you must live a life of austerity for this month to show your sincerity. I wonder if the king and queen can endure such hardship?"

"Of course!" the Queen answered quickly in front of the King. "I'd do anything to have a child!"

The king had no reason to object, "The queen's will is my will."

“Then let the King and Queen begin their prayers today.” Herman lowered his gaze, not letting anyone see what he was thinking.

The king and queen's wish for a child came at a convenient time, and it was also the right time to train a saintess. The so-called month-long prayer was just a pretext. If what is desired comes too easily, it will arouse suspicion. They need to experience the difficulty of things so that they will believe without doubt.

A month later, a black magic circle enveloped the entire Xia Kingdom. Everyone experienced a hallucination at that moment, and the Queen gave birth to a little princess after ten months of pregnancy.

Herman placed the still-unconscious baby girl he had brought back from the Devil's Spring into the Queen's arms. The moment he stepped out of the palace, the magic stopped, and soon the whole country was celebrating the birth of the princess.

This is how Princess Wendy was born.

When he baptized the princess in his capacity as Pope, he discovered that this child was different from the Dark Daughter he had created before. She had black hair, brown eyes, and a habit of always dozing off... However, none of that mattered. It was enough that she was indeed the Dark Daughter he had created.

Shortly thereafter, Hermann began to announce, step by step, that the Pope was in poor health, preparing for his complete dismantling of the retired body.

Hermann's plans were always flawless; if he wanted, he could truly walk the path to "immortality." However, just like the saying "life is unpredictable," he was willing to give up everything for a girl, whether it was honor or ambition, none of which mattered.

"Thank you, doctor." The coughing old man took the free medicine given to him, expressed his gratitude, and stepped out of the clinic with a hunched back.

Herman saw the person to the door, then turned around and saw his little girl sitting in a chair, elbows on the table, hands supporting her chin, smiling at him. "Herman, I think you're getting more and more handsome."

Hermann smiled slightly, walked over, bent down and gently stroked her growing belly, "Is the baby very active today?"

"Yes," Feng Guang said with a smile, "it kept kicking my stomach."

"Maybe she's a very active little girl."

"Maybe it's a boy." Feng Guang, who was pregnant, seemed even more beautiful when she smiled.

Her pregnancy was a truly helpless situation for Herman. It had been three years since he brought her to this town, and Fengguang had always felt that there was something wrong with her body if she couldn't get pregnant. Even though her man was the biggest charlatan in the world, she was willing to believe those drug-selling swindlers and drink medicine indiscriminately. If he didn't let her drink it, he wouldn't allow her to sleep with him. Helpless, Herman had no choice but to let her get pregnant.

"Hermann, do you know?"

He held her on his lap and asked softly, "What do I need to know?"

"If this were a world with normal values, you would definitely be a villain who dies in the finale," she said with a grin. "But thankfully, the male and female leads in this world aren't that powerful yet."

Hermann thought for a moment, "Is that so?"

"Don't you understand?"

"There are indeed some things I don't understand."

She smiled leisurely, "It's good that you don't understand. There are things you don't understand either, which will save me from feeling like a clueless fool in front of you later."

Seeing her happy, Herman was willing to do whatever she said. The twilight streaming in through the window shone on her face, and he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her chattering lips.

Not long after, a woman's frantic voice rang out from inside the closed clinic, "Wait... Herman... the child!"

"Don't worry, the baby's condition is stable, Wendy, trust me..."

"If someone comes looking for you..."

"Camilla, keep an eye on the door."

A huge tentacle hung down from the roof.

"Wendy, our baby is very strong, don't worry. Be good, open your legs, I'll be gentle..."

As for what things require being gentler?

Then it's best not to say more.
