So I reread chapters 1-4 again to find some hint about the demon king but my attention diverted to Lottie's love interest ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
I think it's Jeffrey honestly. He's as old as she is and has been with her for a long time. Plus, I think she never noticed his feelings because she was so busy with her disciples and work.
(I also think her disciples caught onto it but said things about Jeffrey to throw her off of finding out).
I think Jeffrey understood the importance of lottie's work which is why he didn't confess to her and was content with their current relationship. With his words of "wanting to die with her" and "only wanting it to be just the two of them" he has a high chance of snatching our wonderful lady. Maybe waiting for 100+ years will finally pay off!

Wow I remember reading this a long time ago before reading the raws and boy are you guys in for a big surprise ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
I will just say y'all.will.be.shocked!

I don't remember what chapter raws I read up to, but basically, I guess MC and the emperor acted out some sort of drama against the empress dowager, then the MC literally stabs the emperor in the neck with an arrow. Like literally, I really thought that was the end of him. It also shocked me because I didn't know who's side she was on. But that's how far I got, everything else is to be continued~ heres the raws ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~
