Gabriella had a general understanding of the current situation.
However, the knight maidens had not directly stated that she was the Goddess.
Everyone was wary of the Celestial God.
Gabriella had promised Isabella right in front of her that she would crush humanity, yet someone had already beaten her to it.
Especially Mother Olivia.
She had thought Olivia might hesitate when facing the Celestial God, but it turned out she was completely ruthless when it came to acting.
Gabriella nodded.
“So that’s how it is. I understand.”
Seeing that the situation had been explained clearly, Philina stood up.
She stood side by side with Morphis and linked arms with her.
“Lady Gabriella, are we cute?”
“Of course you’re cute. You two are the most beautiful maids~ Morphis looks quite lovely in her maid uniform too.”
“Hehe.”
Hearing Gabriella’s praise, Philina nodded happily and struck a cute pose, tilting her head with eyes that seemed to hint at something.
“You idiot, Philina. What are you saying… You need to be more respectful.”
Morphis reached out and pinched Philina’s cheek.
However, compared to her, Morphis herself was clearly the more nervous one.
After hearing Gabriella call her cute, she even showed a reaction similar to Elsa’s.
Indeed, all the Heavenly Oracle Envoys had been carrying out their mission.
They would unknowingly try to kill a newly descended Evil God maiden, and her heavenly beauty had become nothing but a tool to deceive the world.
If she wasn’t mistaken, they were all tools the Celestial God Creis used to rule the world.
Gabriella stepped forward and gently patted the heads of the two maids.
Rather than making them carry out their mission, Gabriella wanted the Heavenly Oracle Envoys to submit to the Evil God.
To submit to Isabella.
Only then could they obtain true happiness and smile like Elsa and Tina.
Yes, Gabriella did not want to drag all the Heavenly Oracle Envoys into evil.
She simply believed they should be saved, and the Celestial God should receive the punishment she deserved.
“G-Gabriella… my lady…”
Morphis’s voice was very soft, but Gabriella heard it clearly.
Her gaze occasionally drifted to Gabriella’s flat abdomen and the flawless white skin beneath the nightgown.
Morphis hesitated greatly.
She had learned some things about the Evil God from Philina.
She knew Gabriella had held a wedding with her.
Although it was definitely fake—a performance put on for the demons—there was still a possibility that Gabriella was pregnant.
In the end, she gathered her courage and spoke.
After all, she knew exactly what Lady Olivia had gone through in the past.
“Miss Gabriella… are you… pregnant?”
The moment the words left her mouth, Philina froze.
Gabriella fell silent, and Celestial God Creis took a step forward, staring at Gabriella’s body with burning eyes.
“Ah… I-I didn’t mean to, I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”
“It’s fine, Morphis~”
Gabriella smiled gently at her.
“I know why you’re worried. It’s because of Miss Olivia, right?
She told me that getting pregnant… makes the body weak, leaves you feeling very tired, and makes you want to sleep all the time.
Your body feels cold, and without someone by your side, it becomes extremely, extremely painful.”
Celestial God Creis paused.
She stopped observing Gabriella.
Upon hearing the topic of their conversation, she seemed to realize something and sank into deep thought.
Morphis nodded in confusion and quickly changed the subject, beginning to explain the mansion’s layout to Gabriella.
It turned out this mansion was a fortress originally built by Holy Queen Simona to receive important guests.
It was constructed within an artificial forest and was not marked on any maps of the Holy King Capital.
Under the management of the Royal Knights, the entire estate had become a solid stronghold.
It featured aerial magic barriers, guards at the gate, self-defense magic cannons and alarm devices, plus elite Royal Knights serving as the mansion’s personal guard.
It could be said to be one of the safest places in the entire imperial capital.
Although it was less than one-third the size of the inner palace, the facilities were quite complete.
Currently, there were only five maids in the mansion.
Olivia, Isa, Creis, Philina, and Morphis.
They had no strict division of duties like in the inner palace, nor was there an official head maid.
Among them, Vice-Captain Creis oversaw Olivia and herself, while Captain Isa had the authority to give direct orders to Creis, making her equivalent to the head maid.
More maids would likely join later.
However, according to Olivia, only those who were qualified could take on the position.
Additionally, Gabriella realized she needed to play her role well—the frail Silver-White Sword Empress, the Goddess who had lost her memories.
Wasn’t this basically her original character?
She just needed to act naturally.
As a frail patient, Gabriella was supposed to be so weak she could barely move and should stay in bed, right~?
After temporarily saying goodbye to Philina and Morphis, Gabriella and Creis headed downstairs to the first floor of the mansion.
They walked through the corridor, turned left, and continued for two minutes in the opposite direction of the main entrance until they reached the back garden.
A mana-powered fountain stood there, refracting a rainbow under the sunlight that cast colorful light onto the mansion’s warm white stone bricks.
At first, Creis remained silent, as if still lost in thought.
Then, when the two of them reached the gazebo in the garden, Creis suddenly grabbed Gabriella’s arm.
“Lady Gabriella.”
“Oh?”
Gabriella stopped and gently shook off Creis’s hand, curious to see what the Celestial God had figured out.
Creis remained silent for a long time.
The rainbow light fell on her beautiful blue hair like sparkling diamonds.
Her delicate eyebrows, eyes, and facial features looked like a meticulously crafted masterpiece bestowed by the heavens.
Only now did Gabriella notice that Creis’s appearance, facial features, and face shape bore a fifty-to-sixty-percent resemblance to her own—this was one of the strongest proofs of their blood relation.
However, her mother Creis was the cold sovereign who had personally killed Elsa and might have even been the one who killed Olivia.
The war between the Heavenly Oracle Envoys and the Evil God had merely been an elaborate conspiracy she had orchestrated.
No one knew what other plans Creis was still hiding.
Yet Creis did not do anything terrifying as expected.
The beautiful cross-stars in her eyes trembled slightly.
She lowered her gaze, then raised it again to look directly at Gabriella.
Creis lifted the hem of her skirt, imitating Philina’s gesture.
She took a graceful step forward and curtsied.
“Lady Gabriella, I…”
“Am I cute?”
