Mm…
Simona made no attempt to conceal herself as her demonic features were toyed with—her tail, her horns, and the pitch-black patterns covering her body.
It was as if they were telling the hidden Miss Philina that this girl who had once been the Holy Queen had already been eroded by darkness and become one of the demons.
Master?
What is Miss Simona saying?
Is Miss Liya her master?
A scene of a fallen little demon being pampered by her evil master flashed through Philina’s mind.
She didn’t dare think any further.
She had no idea what Simona had endured recently, but those coquettish moans still made her ears perk up involuntarily as she secretly listened to each echo of corruption.
“Ah, that kind of…”
“Little Simona does it so well. Just like you from five years ago.”
“Mm, wonderful~ Very good.”
She heard the sound of fingers sliding across skin. From her vantage point, Philina could only see two demonic tails intertwining.
The heart-shaped tips at their ends ceaselessly caressed one another, like two little beasts locked in mutual affection, rubbing heads to express their love.
Suddenly, Philina sensed a wave of oppressive pressure in the air, as if it had discovered her hiding behind the cabinet.
A trace of slyness flashed across Liya’s previously affectionate face.
But Philina had no idea what was happening at that moment.
She only felt the temperature in the air rising even higher.
“Simona, please me.”
She could hear her own heartbeat pounding.
“Mm…”
“Obey me. Crave my affection like an adorable little kitten.”
Liya’s voice carried a seductive charm that made Philina’s face flush red.
She could imagine the ambiguous relationship between master and servant, but she quickly realized this was precisely the torment Miss Simona was enduring.
“Yes, Master.”
She accepted it.
“I will offer everything to you.”
In Philina’s ears, the two began to kiss.
Philina had never kissed anyone before.
She only knew it was a proof of love and the result of lovers expressing their feelings.
The specifics of the process didn’t matter.
All she knew now was that Miss Simona had already been completely controlled by this heavenly oracle envoy who had transformed into a demon.
Philina glanced at the sofa.
Elsa and Tina had already left. Now, the entire hall contained only her and the two kissing demons.
It felt like a humiliation, a soul-deep torture.
With every second, she reflected more deeply on the consequences of taking Simona’s teleportation scroll.
“Uwah…”
A long time passed.
She could even discern the nuanced rises and falls in Simona’s voice.
Though she didn’t look directly, she could imagine how Simona was being teased until her face was bright red, forced to display a shy expression to Liya as she was stirred into a complete mess.
The flowing purplish-red patterns gathering at the Holy Queen’s chest seemed to be infusing dark power.
Liya knelt on the sofa as well, hooking one of Simona’s arms while her tail slithered between them like a cobra waiting to strike.
She licked her cherry lips, as if she were about to devour Miss Simona completely right then and there.
Just as everything was about to begin, Philina could no longer endure it.
“Wait!”
She stepped out from behind the cabinet and stood before the sofa.
“Oh?”
Liya sat up straight again.
On her long, shapely legs wrapped in white stockings, faint traces of moisture could be seen.
The moonlight made her cherry lips even more enticing.
In the shadows, those purplish-red eyes contained a black cross star.
It was the symbol of corruption.
“Miss Liya…”
Philina froze for a moment.
She couldn’t just wait for death, but she didn’t know how to intervene.
Unexpectedly, before she could do anything, Liya spoke in a calm voice as if she had never been surprised by her presence:
“Philina, long time no see.”
“You still remember me?”
“Mm~”
A sly glint flashed in Liya’s eyes. She was now fully a demon—perhaps even half an apostle.
Philina had seen Apostles before.
They were kin assimilated by evil gods.
They lacked their own consciousness and emotions, like hollow shells with their minds and bodies emptied out.
Even their pupils featured the cross star symbolizing darkness.
Philina knelt on the ground.
“Simona… Please punish me instead. This isn’t her fault. The threat to humanity, the threat of the heavenly oracle envoys—it’s all my fault.”
She had only done it for Miss Gabriella. They were all good girls.
“Please punish me… Please…”
As she spoke, Philina began wiping away her tears.
She looked at the Holy Queen lying on the sofa and lowered her head in guilt.
What Philina hadn’t expected was for Liya to kneel on one knee, take her hand, and gently help her to her feet.
“Miss Philina? Why are you apologizing like this? What have you done wrong?”
She pulled out a handkerchief and gently wiped the tears from the corners of Philina’s eyes, speaking in a doting voice.
“I beg you to spare Miss Simona. If there’s anything to settle, we heavenly oracle envoys can handle it among ourselves, alright?”
“So that’s what you were thinking?”
Liya’s attitude left Philina unable to understand for a moment.
Since she had already chosen darkness, why didn’t she capture her—just as Gabriella had done with another heavenly oracle envoy?
Yet now, Liya was comforting her like a big sister.
There was an incomprehensible mix of doting and heartache in Liya’s eyes.
It was as if the one with the problem wasn’t her, and the ones needing salvation weren’t her or Simona, but Philina herself.
Liya stroked the top of her head.
Philina didn’t know what magic she had used, but it felt incredibly comfortable… Perhaps, if not for battles and duty, they should have been this intimately close all along.
“Poor heavenly oracle envoys. They truly don’t harbor evil hearts. Lady Gabriella’s choice was indeed the correct one.”
“What? Lady Gabriella’s choice? Lady Liya, what do you know?”
At those words, Philina recalled the mission of the heavenly oracle envoys—to follow the Goddess and eradicate evil.
The reason she and Olivia wanted to wage war was to rescue Gabriella.
All heavenly oracle envoys would think the same way, including Shining Saint Morphis.
But the current Philina didn’t dare act recklessly. She didn’t know Liya’s purpose or what she intended to do.
“Where is she? Lady Liya, why did you choose to side with the evil god? She is clearly of the shadows…”
“Cute little Philina, this isn’t a betrayal by the heavenly oracle envoys, nor is there any ‘siding with.’ It was Lady Gabriella who chose to submit to the evil god.”
“What?”
