Who is that?!
Murphy’s first reaction was to figure out exactly who was inside the bedroom, but she quickly realized it had to be Miss Isabella. At night, Miss Isabella always went to Lady God Maiden Gabrielle’s bedroom to keep watch—that was her job. Even though Cress hadn’t mentioned her, Murphy had seen it with her own eyes yesterday, so the arrangement made perfect sense.
But Murphy had never expected Isabella to be kissing Gabrielle like that?!
It looked like their relationship was even more complicated than she had imagined.
Murphy’s face flushed bright red. Of course she knew that when Gabrielle had lived as a human, she had made many reliable friends—including Lady Saint King Simona.
Isabella was probably one of them.
Still, doing something like that directly in the bedroom felt a little too strange!
Murphy’s cheeks burned. She didn’t know whether she should stay or turn around and leave.
She still didn’t know Cress’s true identity, but Olivia had said she was a being on the level of a god—the leader of the Heavenly Envoys who issued “oracles” and assigned “missions.”
Murphy decided to stay. No matter what happened, she should follow Cress’s orders and keep watch, right?
But Murphy was wrong.
It was still only a little past midnight.
If the two of them were really pouring their hearts out to each other, they had only just started.
It would probably take until the middle of the night before they finished, wouldn’t it?!
Last time, Felina had kissed her for a full three hours.
“Ugh~”
She could hear them.
At first the two of them seemed somewhat restrained, but soon the sounds grew more intense.
“Mmm… ah… ha… hah…”
The girls’ voices shifted between soft and heated, carrying a hint of teasing obedience, as if they were endlessly craving even more affection.
Those strange sounds made Murphy’s face turn an impossible shade of red.
She hugged the Prayers scripture tightly to her chest, as though praying the sacred book could cleanse her thoughts.
For some reason, hearing their voices always made Murphy think of Felina.
The taste of that little girl’s mouth.
Heavenly Envoys weren’t supposed to think about things like this. They were the embodiment of reason and combat, servants of their mission. How could something so vulgar drag them into the abyss?!
“Master…”
“No, ah, what is… this…”
“Mmm~!”
“Master?!”
Murphy started to seriously doubt Miss Isabella’s identity.
This didn’t seem right!
Logically, Gabrielle should be the mistress of all the maids, yet Isabella was making Gabrielle call her “Master”?!
And the way she said “Master” didn’t sound like a normal title between a maid and her superior.
It sounded more like a pitiful slave who had been trained day and night, calling out to the owner holding her leash in the middle of deeper, more intimate acts—submissive sounds coming from the God Maiden herself.
It was like the princess of a defeated nation being seduced into a pitiful slave, gradually admitting in the midst of overwhelming waves that her soul could not overcome the desires of the flesh.
Murphy didn’t dare think any further.
She suddenly decided she should at least tell Olivia. After all, Lady Gabrielle’s body wasn’t in good condition. Fooling around like this could easily cause problems.
If she really got pregnant with Isabella’s child, then…
Murphy’s heart raced and her body grew unbearably hot. She quickly snapped back to her senses and resolutely headed toward the staircase. She stumbled a few steps, feeling like she might collapse.
The moment she reached the bottom of the stairs—before she even arrived at Olivia’s room—a familiar figure appeared in front of her.
It was Felina.
“Eh…? Felina, why are you still awake so late?”
Felina was even smaller and more delicate than she was. The biggest difference was how adorably petite her body looked wrapped in the maid uniform. Her chest was… regrettably modest.
Yet Felina’s lips curved in a half-smile, her eyes playful and teasing. Moonlight cast her shadow across Murphy’s body.
“I have something to tell Lady Olivia. Murphy, where are you going~? Lady Gabrielle might be in danger!”
“Ugh?”
Seeing Felina’s puzzled expression, Murphy had no choice but to explain everything—how she had overheard what sounded like an unspeakable, delicate relationship between Gabrielle and Isabella!
After listening, Felina looked completely unconcerned.
“It’s fine. Lady Isabella would never harm Lady God Maiden.”
“Felina, do you know about their relationship?”
“Of course I do. That’s why there’s no need to tell Lady Olivia. Miss Isabella is perfectly capable of protecting Gabrielle. Why don’t we go get some fresh air~?”
Felina smiled.
Since that was the case, Murphy nodded in agreement. She had a feeling that if she kept listening, she would start feeling strange too.
She couldn’t stop thinking about Felina. It was completely out of her control.
Just like Gabrielle and Isabella’s behavior.
It made her long for Felina’s kisses and affection—everything that had spiraled out of control during that battle.
The corridor echoed with only the footsteps of the two girls. They walked out the main door on the first floor and headed to the gazebo in the back garden, where moonlight stretched their shadows long across the ground.
Murphy stayed silent the entire way. When Felina suddenly stopped, Murphy’s body trembled as she accidentally brushed against her.
In that instant, it felt like electricity coursed through her, and Felina’s sweet scent flooded her nose.
She remembered that day—after being defeated by Leah and locked together with Felina in the darkness. They had knelt on the ground with a crystal restricting their power placed between them, forcing them close. Even then, Murphy’s mind had wandered.
She had smelled that same pleasant scent on Felina.
With her vision blocked, she could only feel their breathing against each other, as if it could pierce their souls. Later, they had even kissed.
How strange.
While Murphy was lost in thought, Felina turned around. She didn’t just look at Murphy—she took her hand and wrapped her other arm around Murphy’s waist.
The physical contact made Murphy’s face burn even hotter.
Murphy’s eyes grew hazy. She felt like she was waking from a dream, only to fall straight back into the abyss.
It felt so good…
Being held by Felina felt so good…
Her head grew hot, and her body seemed ready to respond, pressing closer on its own.
The warmth from Felina’s body instantly brought back the memory of when they had been bound by Leah and kissed.
“Murphy~ Actually, you’ve been looking forward to this too, haven’t you?”
“Mmm…?”
Felina looked like a little devil.
She licked her lips. In her shadow, it almost seemed as if horns and a pair of bat wings had sprouted.
