Gabriella had thought about becoming a demon.
She knew that since she had to give birth to a child for that idiot Demon King, she would definitely need to become a full demon to conceive the baby.
That way, their offspring could be born safely.
So, becoming a demon was unavoidable.
Moreover.
Gabriella didn’t think that becoming a demon would completely change her stance as a human.
She did like Isabella a bit.
But that was just a gift prepared for her—in the end, it was nothing more than an external possession~
More importantly,
If she could become a demon, the so-called 【Pure Spring】 would no longer have any effect.
Then, Loli could successfully form a 【Contract】 and become a fairy dependent on her.
So, whether for Loli or that idiot Isabella, becoming a demon was a good thing.
However,
She would lose the most fundamental mindset as a human.
She would share the same thought processes and soul as the demons.
She would no longer be the so-called Silver-White Sword Empress, but the Demon King’s wife, the Demon Queen’s consort.
The bigger issue was, how long was that idiot Isabella going to drag out this demonification?
Wasn’t this just giving her time to hesitate?
Had the idiot master ever thought about what to do if I suddenly changed my mind and refused to give her offspring?!
She wasn’t just a love-brain; now it seemed she was also a love idiot who wavered back and forth in her emotions!
“Huff huff……. Gabriella, master.”
Before she knew it, Gabriella had already carried Loli back to her own dormitory.
And Loli just rubbed her eyes and sat up.
“Did I fall asleep?”
“Yes, you said you wanted to help me this afternoon.”
“Wuu.”
Loli nodded, feeling apologetic for accidentally falling asleep, but Gabriella kept stroking her head.
“I still have work to do; I don’t want to sleep.”
“Just rest tonight, Loli.”
But.
“I know everything.”
Before Loli could say anything, Gabriella interrupted her.
Honestly, it wasn’t clear if this child was holding onto a “face death with equanimity” mindset.
Why didn’t she just directly bring up the contract?
It was clearly recorded in the books, after all.
But the more she acted like this, the more anxious Gabriella became, especially seeing Loli’s obedient appearance.
However, Loli lowered her head, her small, cute legs pressed tightly together, her hands clenched, looking utterly pitiful, as if she might cry at any moment.
She had obviously misunderstood the earlier hint.
“Gabriella, master, I can work for you, serve tea to Isabella.”
“What……. do you mean?”
“I can also be a hall maid. I’ve calculated it: I just need to get up at five in the morning to change the water, and by six, I can pack up the kitchen garbage and make it to the six-thirty maid meeting……. If I can finish cleaning the southwest corridor on the first floor by nine-thirty in the morning, I can still go to the kitchen to chop vegetables and wash dishes.”
“Wait…….?!”
For a moment, Gabriella almost couldn’t follow little Loli’s train of thought.
Her anxious eyes darted left and right, and seeing that Gabriella hadn’t agreed, she continued hugging her arm and said.
“I can actually help, help you take care of the child too. I can do anything.”
Gabriella felt like her heart was about to melt.
She had heard from Tina that the Saintess Loli used to be a not-so-obedient child; many disputes in the knight order were caused by her.
But that wasn’t the her that Gabriella had seen.
Ever since Loli came to the residential palace, she had been an obedient girl, completing everything with utmost care and managing her emotions well.
It was as if she had been trained countless times.
She could be a bit naive at times, but that was normal—after all, Elsa was pretty dumb too.
“Okay, then Loli can help us take care of the child in the future.”
Gabriella laughed out loud; she was actually just joking, because she had to be the one to raise the child!
And besides,
If they really had a child, Gabriella would definitely raise her into a clever little devil, not like Isabella, who turned into a fool once she fell into the net of love……. Wait, I’m thinking too far ahead, and what were those fragments in my mind just now aaaah!
“I’ll try my best…….”
She had originally wanted to come clean about the fairy and contract matter, but suddenly felt that it would only add unnecessary worry to the idiot Loli.
Gabriella felt that some things needed to be hurried along.
She gripped the black leather book she had been carrying with her.
After leaving Loli’s room, Gabriella hadn’t walked far when she saw the Demon King approaching from the opposite direction.
Isabella.
She could find anyone in the residential palace at any time, thanks to her powerful perception abilities.
And she seemed to have some link with her kin—that is, with Gabriella, who was currently undergoing demonification and corruption.
This was related to 【Shadow】.
“I was just about to go find you, Isabella, my lord. May I ask why you’re in such a hurry?”
Gabriella held the book, tilted her head, and slightly curtsied—a respect for the Demon King that had long been etched into her soul.
“It’s just, I have a little something to discuss with you.”
Isabella’s voice was firm, but her gaze was evasive.
It was nothing more than a more important matter on her mind.
Gabriella knew her too well.
“Mm-hmm, please go ahead. We have plenty of time.”
“Uh.”
Isabella walked up to her, took her hand, “At ten tonight, before bedtime, can we meet on the rooftop? I have something to tell you—something very important.”
“Of course we can, but why the rooftop?”
The residential palace’s rooftop was spacious, perfect for moon-viewing.
But the second and third floors each had two large balconies the size of basketball courts, and compared to moon-viewing, the Demon King preferred going out for walks or flying directly in the air.
Could it be that Isabella, my lord, is thinking of doing something drastic?
But with the Demon King’s physical constitution, she would probably be fine no matter where she jumped from.
“It doesn’t feel like the right time now…….” The Demon King was being all mysterious.
“I understand.”
Gabriella nodded and agreed.
Actually, she knew what Isabella wanted to say.
In short, it was about the evil god and divine maiden stuff.
The idiot Isabella was always very guilty about it.
That’s why she chose a place like the rooftop—secluded yet open, where she could openly express her inner thoughts.
“Actually, I have something I want to discuss with the idiot Demon King too…….”
“What?”
Isabella asked cautiously.
She knew Gabriella probably had some thoughts about Philina, though unspoken, it was tacitly understood.
“Then we can do it together at that time…….”
But unexpectedly, Gabriella walked up to her, grabbed her hand, and gently bit her earlobe.
“I want to say it now.”
Isabella was a bit slow to react.
“Wh-what is it, wifey~”
“Please, turn me into a demon.”
“Why bring this up now…….”
“Demon King, my lord, you’re such an idiot. If you don’t turn me into your kin, how can we have a child?”
