Creis was no longer that enemy full of suspicion.
“The body is important. Daughter, you must take it seriously.”
Ever since the meeting not long ago, Creis’s relationship with everyone had been fairly good.
The only difference was that she had not yet been eroded by the shadows.
Today’s Creis seemed especially enthusiastic.
Isabella did not refuse her staying either.
Instead she let her remain.
Seeing that Gabriella could not fall asleep, the three of them began to chat.
At first it was about the planning of the maids in the mansion.
Simona was responsible for part of the hall duties and supervising Liya.
Morphis and Philina’s tasks were a bit too many, and now Miss Roselyn seemed able to solve this problem.
From the answers, Gabriella could tell that Miss Roselyn did not seem very cooperative.
This matter would be left for later.
Then the three of them talked about the Sacred Feather God.
After Creis mentioned her name, the air seemed to drop several degrees at once.
They all recalled the eerie incident they had encountered in the Holy Church Sanctum.
“Simona is currently investigating this matter. I also frequently go to the church to check where exactly they are hiding.” An expression of annoyance appeared in Creis’s eyes—something the previous her could not have shown.
After Olivia’s counseling, she could express such emotions, which made her seem less cold than before.
“And the result?” Isabella asked.
“Cannot find them.”
Creis glanced at Isabella, then shifted her gaze back to Gabriella.
“Cannot find any abnormal humans, including those nuns and the bishops. They seem to have long since…”
“The bishops have no problems either?”
“None.”
Creis asserted firmly.
“They are all human. It is just that their hearts seem to have been polluted by something, but I cannot see it.”
Isabella also nodded.
“What we have currently confirmed is that the Sacred Feather God is related to the Heavenly Oracle Envoys. Those humans’ minds have been influenced, or perhaps years of faith have made them strange. As for where exactly the Sacred Feather God is hiding, that is still unknown.”
Gabriella fell into deep thought.
After a long while, she voiced her own view.
“The Sacred Feather God does not regard us as enemies.”
Gabriella pinched a corner of the blanket.
“If she wanted to make a move against us, she could do so at any time. All the Heavenly Oracle Envoys should have been wiped out by them, yet they have not done so. Additionally, I suspect that it was not us who were captured by her barrier, but someone else.”
“If we put it that way, then it means the people of the church have been brainwashed by the Sacred Feather God at the same time, and we also cannot see through others’ thoughts,” Isabella said.
Creis also agreed with Gabriella’s view.
“The Sacred Feather God is indeed very strong. She might be slightly stronger than me. There is no need to be too nervous. She cannot break through the mansion’s barrier. Moreover, if she is not inside the barrier, she is not our match either.”
Gabriella smiled.
“So, in the end, her goal should be quite simple. She wants to show us 【Destruction】.”
“Destruction?” Both were shocked.
“Isa and I stayed a few more minutes inside that barrier and discovered that all the attacks were not meant to kill us, but to destroy the world.”
“The evil trees, the faith… those things without exception were all for the sake of destroying the world.”
“She should indeed be an apostle of the Evil God,” Creis asserted firmly.
“The Evil God’s purpose is precisely to destroy the world. The destructive power of her authority can achieve that.”
After hearing this, Isabella’s face turned a little pale.
Clearly she had not known about this, and even the Evil God personality had no intention of destroying the world—this was absolutely certain.
Gabriella refuted. “Mother, according to my memories, the Evil God has no intention of destroying the world.”
“The Evil God’s authority itself symbolizes destruction. There is currently no better explanation.”
Creis still persisted on the matter of the Evil God.
“A thousand years ago I once had a conflict with an apostle. Apostles are the ultimate life forms born from the Evil God’s authority. They are the most dangerous existences in the world.”
“Mother believes that the Sacred Feather God is related to the Evil God?”
“There must be a relationship.” Creis asserted firmly.
Isabella fell into thought.
“If the Sacred Feather God wanted to destroy the world, she should have made a move long ago.”
“The best explanation is that she simply cannot make a move,” Gabriella said.
Creis remained silent.
Her attitude proved that what Gabriella said was absolutely correct.
Additionally, according to previous inferences, the organization behind the Heavenly Oracle Envoys was Monastar itself.
They should have been able to find a way to deal with the Sacred Feather God within a hundred years… Had Isabella and Creis already spoken about this matter?
“No~ This is a secret after all, though it has indeed been exposed already.”
A hint of puzzlement appeared in Creis’s eyes as she looked at Gabriella.
She seemed not to understand why Gabriella had not shared the intelligence with her first instead of Isabella.
But given the feelings between the two, which seemed about to progress to the stage of lovers, she did not ask.
“I have long been suspicious of this nation. Monastar has powerful energy monitoring devices. I once tried circling above it, but was quickly discovered by the mechanical golems.”
“They seem to hold malice toward Mother. Can this prove that the Heavenly Oracle Envoys are subordinates of the Sacred Feather God?”
Creis only shook her head.
“Their malice toward me was intensified by my own actions. It is a consequence I should bear. They simply do not understand this world.”
“If I could have a chat with the Queen of Monastar, I should be able to get a different answer. At least their attitude toward me is still fairly good,” Gabriella said half-jokingly.
“That is a matter for later. Gabriella must properly recuperate her body,” Isabella said.
“Mm.”
Creis nodded, then stared into Isabella’s eyes.
From earlier on it seemed she had something she wanted to say.
Because Gabriella was present, she did not ask the question in her heart directly.
Instead she tilted her head slightly.
“Isabella, did you do something to my daughter?”
When she asked this, her face flushed red.
That icy little head seemed to have recalled some question that made her face heat up and heart race.
“What is Miss Creis referring to?”
“That is… the things between lovers.”
Isabella did not answer immediately.
Gabriella also pretended to shrink into the covers.
There was always a feeling of having a guilty conscience.
If the child in the belly is discovered, what will Mother think?!
“Haha… Miss Creis, what on earth are you talking about? Dates between lovers?”
Isabella wanted to brush it off.
However, she had underestimated Creis’s straightforwardness and decisiveness.
“Of course it is kissing, and doing (meow~). Have you done it with my daughter?”
