To everyone's surprise, Princess Sherrell actually accepted the eccentric doctor's marriage proposal.
This is absolutely incredible!
Everyone thought that Her Highness must have lost her mind and wasn't thinking straight.
Or perhaps he's being haunted by something, otherwise he wouldn't be so despondent.
Even Alfred, the father, couldn't understand it.
However, as a monarch, one's word is law. Since he had just promised the eccentric doctor that his daughter would make the decision, he could not go back on his word.
Now that his daughter has agreed to the marriage, he has no choice but to announce it on the spot.
"Since Sherry has agreed, then it's settled. In three days, I will hold a grand wedding for the Doctor and Sherry!"
...
"Sigh, daughter, what are you thinking? Are you really willing to marry that eccentric doctor?"
Back at the mansion, Ailifer couldn't wait to ask his daughter.
Sheryl pursed her lips and said, "Father, I have no expectations for marriage anymore. It doesn't matter who I marry!"
"You're so foolish!"
Ailifer sighed, as if he had thought of something. His eyes flickered, and he said, "Have you... developed feelings for that human boy?"
Sheri's body trembled, then she gave a bitter smile. "Father, he's already dead, does it matter?"
Ailifer paused for a moment, then sighed and said, "If he hadn't died, Father might still have supported your idea!"
"oh?"
Sheryl looked at him strangely and turned to ask, "Father, aren't the Divine Blood our mortal enemies? How could you..."
"We are mortal enemies, that's true, but that's based on thousands of years of history!"
"We lizardmen have been living underground for thousands of years," said Elif, "and any grudges we might have had are long gone! Besides, I've always believed that there's more than one way to achieve immortality. Are our ancestors necessarily right?"
“Father, do you mean…” Sheryl’s expression grew increasingly surprised.
Alef continued, "You know, the main reason we lizardmen embarked on the path of technological development is that we lizardmen can't cultivate, and we're even inferior to some other animals! Look at those powerful monsters in the Black Forest, which one of them isn't stronger than us? Even with our technology developed to this level, we still can't contend with those beast kings! Because of the limitations of our own genes, we can only take this path! If there were another option, who wouldn't want to try it?"
Sheri's beautiful eyes lit up slightly, as if she understood what Alifer wanted to say.
She had a bold idea before, wanting to improve her clan's genes through Lin Yu... well.
This idea is clearly outrageous and even unacceptable according to the ethics of one's own tribe.
But to my surprise, my father's thinking was so open-minded.
Elif sighed and said, "How could our royal family not have thought of such a good idea? If our royal family were the kind of conservative one, how could we have ruled the underground lizard tribe for so many years?"
"However, there are always some people in the clan who cannot accept this. They take hatred too seriously, to the point that they are blinded by it and cannot see the direction of the future!" Alifer said with emotion.
Sheryl nodded. The idea of the father and daughter was absolutely out of the ordinary for the people of their tribe. Not to mention speaking it out loud, even thinking it in one's heart was extremely rebellious.
From the perspective of their lizard tribe's historical education, they occupy the highest ideological position. To them, humans, even those of divine blood, are primitive, much like uncivilized apes. It's like the difference between humans and beasts.
What would happen if a human mated with an animal?
This is against human ethics!
Even though Sheryl was open-minded, she sometimes felt ashamed to talk about these things.
But she never expected that her father would have had such thoughts.
At this moment, Ailiev gave a long, drawn-out look, recalled for a while, and said, "Actually, when I was young, I also made a bold attempt like this, but unfortunately, I failed!"
"What? Father, you too..."
Sheryl couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes, feeling incredulous.
It turns out that my father had already tasted it!
Calming down, she pursed her lips and asked, "Father, why did it fail in the end? Was it because the bloodline of the bloodline you found wasn't pure enough, or..."
Ailifer shook his head with a wry smile and said, "She was an exceptionally beautiful woman. At that time, her strength had already reached the Xuan Realm or higher. Even the demon kings in the Black Forest were no match for her! I was deeply attracted by her aura, and I tried every means to make her submit, but I almost lost my life at her hands! Fortunately, she didn't intend to kill me!"
Sheri's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief as she said, "Father, the woman you're talking about... could she be the one who turned our clan upside down twenty years ago..."
"That's right! It's Ao Shuang!"
Alive nodded, agreeing with Sherrell's idea.
Then, a hint of nostalgia appeared in his eyes as he continued.
"Actually, the human race really has a fascinating side. I spent some time alone with her, and I was struck by their open-mindedness, their optimism, and their sense of justice. Of course, I'm not saying all humans are like that, but those with divine blood are like that. Deep down, they are positive and want to protect all of humanity. They have a responsibility to shoulder! It's hard to define them as bad people!"
Alifer shook his head and continued, "Actually, what is good or bad in this world? It's just a matter of perspective! We lizardmen, unable to cultivate, were forced to take the cold path of technology. But the result of technological development has also revealed many drawbacks. Look at the Omi we support on Earth; how evil their hearts are! This evil will be amplified infinitely when the end of the world approaches and resources are scarce! This will be the most realistic portrayal of our race!"
“The reason our lizard race is still so stable is because of the abundance of underground resources, which we don’t need to fight over. But when the calamity comes, no one can say for sure what will happen to people’s hearts! As for the Mother Race… even before God descended, He ordered us to reduce the world’s population to below 500 million. In essence, this was also to free up more resources! Going deeper, the arrival of the Mother Race may bring more killing. When resources are reduced again, it is possible that we underground lizardmen will be the ones to be wiped out!” Ailifer’s eyes flickered as he spoke his thoughts with a worried expression.
These ideas were undoubtedly outrageous and extremely dangerous to the lizardmen.
But as the king of the subterranean people, Elif had to consider things from a long-term perspective.
But he could only confide these words to his own daughter; the rest of the time, he had to keep them to himself.
