However, Gabriella didn’t care about Philina’s opinion at all.
Today, Isabella was once again making meat dishes.
She wanted to start from the basics and even declared that she wouldn’t need Olivia’s help in the future.
When she said this, many maids—including Gabriella and Olivia—couldn’t help but laugh.
“Wife~?”
Isabella felt no shame whatsoever.
She blended in with the other maids as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
It was almost as if she was deliberately being a little clumsy just to make Gabriella laugh.
Gabriella let out a soft sigh.
“Demon King, if you find it difficult, it’s better to let the maids handle it in the future.”
“I should at least learn how to make one dish, right? I’m not a demon who gives up easily.”
Isabella said firmly, but soon lowered her head again and admitted, “It does feel pretty hard though.”
Watching her busy back from afar, Gabriella’s heart would start to itch, her heartbeat pounding wildly.
Without realizing it, things had turned out this way.
It was all the idiot Demon King’s fault.
After breakfast, Gabriella found Olivia alone, who was about to start her cleaning duties.
Since joining the maid group, Olivia had become very popular among the maids.
Many of the silly maids even called her “Big Sister” now.
Olivia took on as many tasks as she could every day.
Even on her scheduled days off, she didn’t rest.
She would even give lessons to the other maids to help them clean better… Why did this feel so familiar?
What kind of past would create such a gentle and virtuous mother?
“Mom~ How does your body feel now?”
After Olivia parted ways with another maid, Gabriella approached her proactively.
She wanted to ask her some things while Philina was still busy with her tasks.
“My precious daughter, are you referring to the curse here?”
Olivia pointed at the spot on her neck.
There was a diamond-shaped pattern emitting a strange, scarlet glow.
Gabriella could clearly see that the curse had already begun to penetrate deep into her body, nearly reaching her soul.
Moreover, Olivia was craving more [Shadow].
The demonification curse and the corrupting curse of the shadows were essentially the same kind of thing.
Although she still didn’t know how to become an [Apostle], if Olivia continued to absorb more shadows, she would become polluted and turn into a demon… After all, the so-called shadows and demons were beings born from the Evil God’s blood.
They were purer and more powerful dark magic power.
“Thank you for your concern, my daughter. I feel very warm right now. It really is purer and more powerful shadow energy. It doesn’t feel as strange as before.”
Mom’s ability to accept things is really strong. Previously, Elsa didn’t seem this optimistic about it.
Gabriella was puzzled, but felt even more curiosity, relief, and honor.
Mom is amazing.
“Is that so? How about now?” Olivia’s gaze drifted down to Gabriella’s abdomen as she smiled warmly.
Gabriella had originally thought her mother would be very resistant. Now it seemed she was quite enthusiastic instead?
For a moment, Gabriella even felt a little shy. Where was she looking!
That was Master’s seed.
Idiot Mom, don’t stare…
“You really do like Isabella a lot. Actually, we Heavenly Oracles are all like this. Once we face our feelings, we become very simple-minded.”
Olivia took Gabriella’s hand and led her to a recessed corner of the third-floor corridor.
There was a small space with two tables, several chairs, and a long sofa. It was originally designed as a resting area for the maids.
They sat down on the sofa before continuing their conversation.
Gabriella caught the information in Olivia’s words.
Since her mother was a Heavenly Oracle, who was the other mother?
Olivia sat with her legs together, curling up slightly as she fell into reminiscence. A black cross-star appeared in her right eye.
This was a sign of [Apostle] transformation, meaning Olivia had already been somewhat affected by the shadows.
“Mmm… I once fell in love with a woman. We had a child together, and that child is you, my precious daughter, Gabriella.”
“Mmm.” Gabriella nodded. “Then where did she go?”
“She abandoned me and left. Until the very end, I had no one by my side. I gave birth to you almost entirely by my own strength and raised you alone.”
Olivia’s tone became more serious, but whenever she mentioned Gabriella, her voice became as clear and pure as melting glacial snow water.
“Who is she?”
“I don’t remember her name, but I know she called herself [Heavenly God].”
The moment Gabriella heard this name, her head throbbed with sudden pain.
“She called herself the Heavenly God. Her strength was comparable to mine, though not as strong as when I was at my peak…”
“What is the Heavenly God?”
“You, and Her Majesty the Evil God.”
Gabriella felt there was more to this matter. This was the first time she had heard there were other gods.
“She abandoned her emotions and left our love behind, disappearing to who knows where. She only left us behind to depend on each other… Gabriella, I won’t let you follow in my footsteps.”
“Mom…”
“I want you to have a complete love story, to give birth to a beautiful and healthy girl, and to have a perfect family. When I see you being respected and admired in the maid group, I feel that you are an outstanding girl, my most obedient little baby~”
Gabriella clutched her chest. Olivia’s gentleness made her feel somewhat ashamed of herself.
It seemed Olivia was also the type of mother who would do anything for her child.
She was basically on the same level of idiocy as Isabella.
As she spoke, Olivia placed her hand on Gabriella’s head and gently stroked down, making her beautiful silver hair even smoother.
Mom was clearly enjoying this process. The warmth radiating from her body said everything.
“So, my little Gabriella, no matter who you choose to follow or what goal you set, you can always tell your mother. I will support you with all my strength~”
“Of course.”
Olivia tilted her head with a cute smile.
“Isabella told me that from now on, she will collect your power. She wants to help you restore your [Holy Body]. Isn’t that strange?”
“She… wants to help me…?”
“She likes you. She likes you so much it tears her heart apart. That’s why I trust her. But I know that in your eyes, the Evil God is even more beautiful and charming.”
“Or perhaps, both mother and daughter are just pitiful people who were deceived and brainwashed by the Evil God. I’ll leave that judgment to my little Gabriella.”
Olivia gently kissed Gabriella on the forehead, brushing against her cute horns.
