Watching Isabella’s busy back, Olivia’s heart felt like it was tied in a knot.
The evil gods she saw were almost without exception excellent wives protecting her daughter, though with a bit more dominance, but all tolerable.
Did the heinous evil god Philina mentioned really exist?
Olivia found herself as sensitive as before.
Still moved by Isabella, but then she saw the scene where she poured a large amount of pepper on the stir-fried ribs when serving dinner.
“Your Majesty?!”
“Eh?”
“Pepper isn’t used like that, Your Majesty.”
Isabella suddenly realized she had added a massive amount of pepper!
Apparently, pepper couldn’t be sprinkled on bread like powdered sugar.
She quickly used shadows to suck out the large amount of pepper and put it back into the jar.
But a lot of pepper still clung to the sticky sauce on the outer layer of the ribs.
She could only give up; looking at the ribs contaminated by pepper, Isabella’s heart shattered into pieces.
“Wife said she wanted to eat this…”
“It’s okay, Your Majesty; at worst, we can stir-fry another plate.”
“Clearly, I did pretty well this time.” Isabella rubbed her eyes, “At worst, I’ll eat it myself…”
Olivia covered her mouth and smiled; she suddenly felt the evil god miss was both pitiful and cute.
- As an old mom who often cooked, she didn’t mind her mistake at all.
After all, these ribs were still personally stir-fried by Her Majesty.
Watching the evil god miss carefully remove the pepper on top, she felt a bit heartbroken for a moment.
A few minutes later, when the cooking smells were all expelled from the room by the maids’ exquisite magic, she placed plate after plate on the food cart and went to deliver the meal with Isabella.
Isabella wasn’t as vigilant as imagined.
As archenemies, she had never asked Olivia about past matters; even in most times, she would treat her as a friend or even a mother, smiling at her.
It was unknown if it was a kind of composure, or a blind trust, or both.
But in Isabella’s gentle expression, Olivia still detected a hint of danger.
Not long ago, she met the head maid miss, Liya.
Liya was once a heavenly oracle envoy, but now she was a genuine demon.
If it were a few days ago, Olivia would definitely question why she gave up being a heavenly oracle envoy, chose to become a demon, and fight her, questioning what she did to her daughter.
Recently, Olivia had relaxed her vigilance, but that didn’t mean the danger no longer existed.
She only recently discovered that Liya wasn’t an ordinary demon.
Liya was half an [Apostle]; she would be controlled by the evil god and could also control shadows.
Simply put, the current demon Liya was an existence brainwashed and fallen by shadows.
She still emitted resentment and a fearsome dark aura, making it hard to approach, like an aggregate of grudges.
And Simona miss, who had a closer relationship with her, was perhaps enduring quite a massive shadow power.
Olivia thought that there was once a heavenly oracle envoy captured by shadows.
After that heavenly oracle envoy broke free from the shadow’s control and spoke of that experience, it left the present heavenly oracle envoys dumbfounded.
Rewriting consciousness, forcibly making the fallen obey.
“Olivia~?”
“Ah…?!”
Isabella’s voice pulled her back to reality; she froze and realized the two had already reached the bedroom door.
“Mm?”
“This is the first time I’ve let someone else into the bedroom, Mom…”
“Thank you for Your Majesty’s grace; this is very important to me.”
Seeing Isabella a bit embarrassed, she nodded in thanks; her warm gaze successfully made Isabella lower her guard.
Entering the bedroom, the cozy environment slightly surprised Olivia.
The air temperature had clearly risen a few degrees.
It wasn’t the fallen and lewd (meow~) as imagined at first.
Honestly, Olivia even felt that for an evil god, this bedroom was too ordinary.
Spacious and comfortable; that was her first impression of the bedroom.
The hazy moonlight shone through the window on a few glowing potted plants.
The curled-up girl, hearing the sound at the door, half-opened her eyes, “Master Isabella~”
Gabriella unconsciously said such embarrassing words.
For a moment, seeing Olivia’s figure, her body temperature even rose a bit higher than before.
But just moving her legs felt a bit tiring, as if some magic in her body was slowly gathering toward her lower abdomen.
“Id, Isabella…”
Seeing Gabriella almost crying, Olivia felt heartbroken for a moment.
For her, the first few days of pregnancy were her most painful period.
These days, her magic circuits would be unadapted to the new life absorbing magic in her abdomen, leading to bodily weakness.
In fact, she had long imagined Gabriella might encounter this difficulty and wanted to comfort her.
But every time, Isabella beat her to it.
Then, Olivia lost the idea of taking the lead; compared to that, she wanted to know how Isabella comforted her daughter to abduct her, even polluting her with shadows and dark magic.
“Wife, want to eat something?”
Isabella had already pushed the table to the bedside, picking up a small bowl and spoon to feed her.
“Hungry…”
Gabriella’s eyes were full of longing.
With Isabella’s support, she barely sat up from the bed, her cherry lips slightly parted.
At the same time, her eyes caught a plate of stir-fried ribs.
“Wife, want to eat?”
“Mm.” Gabriella smiled sweetly.
Isabella had originally intended to refuse, but when she saw Gabriella so excited and even smiling foolishly, she relented and put a few pieces into her bowl.
After putting them in the bowl, seeing the thick layer of pepper on the side, Isabella instantly felt awkward.
“The taste might be a bit heavy…”
Isabella said somewhat embarrassedly,
But Gabriella just opened her mouth and closed her eyes, as if she hadn’t heard at all and didn’t care about the pepper.
She actually took the initiative to bite the top piece of meat, swallowing the meat with a lot of pepper, then gently spitting out a bone.
Isabella’s heart raced, observing the subtle emotional changes on Gabriella’s face.
However,
Gabriella smiled, her face as if blooming a beautiful flower.
“Delicious, like~ Very good.”
Gabriella’s voice trembled.
“Eh?”
Amid the comfort, Isabella realized her wife’s praise; the excitement in her heart was indescribable.
“I… I’ll make it for you every day; next time it definitely won’t be like this.”
Isabella started rubbing her eyes again.
Then the two looked at each other and smiled, as if all this was natural.
Olivia took all this in.
She suddenly had a new understanding of the so-called [Shadows].
Perhaps she had been wrong about some things from the beginning.
