Chapter 17: As Long As It’s Not a Kiss, It Should Be Fine…!

This feeling…

It was like a person who had walked three days and three nights through the desert; the instant they touched the Demon King, it felt as if they had glimpsed a clear, burbling brook. 

Even though they hadn’t yet plunged in to drink their fill, they could already imagine the blissful satisfaction of that spring water flowing into their body.

Gabriella’s body was sending out exactly that kind of subtle, trembling anticipation.

Her body was eagerly awaiting the Demon King’s [Gift].

As expected, just as Liya had said, the curse of kin transformation and demonic corruption would make her feel an even stranger attachment to her master. 

If she went too long without taking in the [Gift], her body would start acting strange!

No, I have to hold it in…

Gabriella covered her face, trying desperately to calm herself. 

If she didn’t fight this bizarre sensation, she wouldn’t be able to withstand the erosion of the curse while in the Demon King’s hands.

I have to endure!

I absolutely have to~

Yet the moment she steeled herself with those thoughts, her mind suddenly went blank, as if someone had emptied it, and her body turned soft and limp the instant her focus slipped.

She felt like a sponge.

Even though her body had gone completely soft and powerless, her senses were frighteningly sharp, far more sensitive than ever before.

“Demon King-sama, please don’t…”

Gabriella hurriedly tried to push Isabella away. 

She knew that if she stayed this close, something bad would definitely happen!

But to her despair, because her body had gone weak and her strength had vanished, she hadn’t actually managed to push the Demon King away at all. 

Her palms simply rested on Isabella’s shoulders, as though…

As though she wanted to wrap her arms around that jade-like neck and let the pink-colored intimacy continue under the push of this ambiguous atmosphere.

The hand Isabella had placed on her lower abdomen never moved an inch.

“Wifey…?”

Isabella herself sounded a little surprised.

She knew Gabriella had been extremely busy lately, especially with everything involving her little sister.

After experiencing it once, she could already accept that kind of act.

So, did this mean her wife simply wanted more affection?

Was she still not satisfied?

“Mmm, I understand. Satisfying my wife’s desires, I’m actually pretty good at that~”

Her legs, wrapped in black thigh-high stockings, pressed together like a little chair.

Her hands gently pushed inward, and Gabriella found herself perfectly seated in her embrace.

The rustle of silk stockings against skin produced a pleasant sound.

So from now on, all she had to do was obediently follow her wife’s wishes.

“Uu…?”

Gabriella realized her waist had been encircled, yet she never expected to end up lying completely in the Demon King’s arms.

Warm breath carrying the sweet fragrance of a young girl, that peach-heart-tipped tail swaying in front of her eyes, and the Demon King’s slender fingers pressing against her lower abdomen, as if foretelling what was to come.

This is bad, this is really bad…

If things continued like this, strange thoughts would definitely take over her mind, and Isabella would definitely push her luck further!

Yet even so…

Gabriella didn’t want to disappoint the Demon King’s expectations.

Because right now, Isabella was truly exhausted. 

If they really had to go to war against the humans soon, it would place an enormous psychological burden on her. 

At a time like this, it was her duty as the former personal maid to ease her master’s worries. 

If she refused, it would be like an affected wife revealing her disloyal nature, and the Demon King’s opinion of her would plummet!

Moreover, the [Gift] was administered through a kiss.

As long as she wasn’t kissed while being toyed with, it should be fine. 

That’s right~ there was absolutely no problem at all.

Her little sister was just outside, though. 

She mustn’t make any noise; she absolutely mustn’t let the sister outside discover anything.

As long as she endured and didn’t accept the [Gift], everything would be okay.

“Nn…”

Suddenly, Gabriella felt the center of gravity in her body slipping out of control, like a kite floating in midair. 

Yet the arms hugging her waist gave her a warm, secure feeling that drew all of her attention.

Her nearly non-functional brain kept repeating a single command to herself: Don’t make a sound.

In the end, that was practically the only thought left.

At first it felt a little bitter, but soon after…

“Demon King-sama… right now… please don’t… make… any noise…”

“Demon King… sama…”

“De… mon…”

“Isabella… sama…”

Her voice gradually turned soft, slippery, and warm.

Little by little, pink heart shapes began to appear in her azure eyes.

…

Meanwhile, Elsa was still waiting anxiously outside the door.

Before her older sister entered the room, she had hinted at something.

“Trust your big sister. Believe in me.” 

Elsa muttered to herself.

Yet the more she thought about it, the more something felt off.

Was Big Sister Gabriella only pretending to compromise?

She had personally witnessed her sister being intimate with the Demon King. 

That dense affection absolutely wasn’t an act; it felt more like the everyday flirtation between a long-married wife and her spouse.

She recalled what Liya had told her, that her current big sister was actually very happy.

Liya hadn’t lied, yet Elsa was certain there had to be some kind of misunderstanding.

She believed Liya was deceiving her, just like all those sanctimonious people back in the Order.

That was why she had accidentally injured Liya before her powers were sealed, causing trouble for her sister.

But now that she thought about it carefully, Elsa began to wonder, Had Big Sister Gabriella chosen to fall on her own?

Big Sister Gabriella was incredibly strong. 

The Demon King was definitely no match for her. 

There was no way Demon King Isabella could be stronger than her sister.

She didn’t understand.

She only hoped that Big Sister Gabriella could be awakened by her, that she would remember she had once been the Silver-White Sword Empress, humanity’s hope.

It was the Demon King who had hypnotized and brainwashed her into what she was now.

But.

Why hadn’t Big Sister come out yet?

Elsa stared down the corridor toward the room at the far end, that was Demon King Isabella’s office.

Her sister had gone in half an hour ago and still hadn’t emerged.

Were they discussing some important matter?

Did delivering a meal really need to take this long?

Then, all of a sudden, she heard a strange, soft moan from inside the room.

“That… that was Big Sister’s voice?”

A terrifying scene instantly flashed through Elsa’s mind.

It was said that when demons punished humans and turned them into kin, they would hypnotize and brainwash them.

If someone briefly regained their memories, they would be dragged back for reconditioning!

If Big Sister Gabriella truly wanted to help her but was discovered by the Demon King, what then?

Elsa didn’t dare think further. 

She only felt that if she didn’t do something right now, something terrible would happen.

No matter what was going on, she had to confirm that her sister was safe, that she wasn’t suffering at the hands of the Demon King. 

Otherwise, even with her powers sealed, she would find a way to help her sister. 

At the very least, she couldn’t let her sink alone into the abyss.

She cautiously crept closer to the Demon King’s room, not daring to make the slightest sound.

She pressed her ear against the door, trying to catch the voices inside.

But the sounds that reached her next made the innocent young girl’s eyes widen in shock.

It wasn’t torture. It wasn’t the interrogation or abuse she had imagined.

“Demon King… sama…”

“I… Isabella… sama♡”

“Ah… no♡”

From behind the door, it was unmistakably Big Sister Gabriella’s voice…

Why? 

Just what on earth was happening in there?
