Gabriella discovered that Simona had fallen even faster than herself.
Even before deciding to let Morphis fall as well, Simona had already collapsed into Liya’s arms several times.
At that time, because of matters between humans and demons, Simona had been both anxious and afraid.
She alone had shouldered far too much.
Later, she immersed herself in Liya’s caresses and forgot all her troubles.
In the end, she fell and became Liya’s slave.
Being dominated by darkness was truly terrifying.
Yet Gabriella saw more of the happiness on Simona’s face.
If she had still retained a human body, the current her would probably have been unable to endure it and would have fallen into the torrent of fate.
In the end… was falling something that could not be accepted?
Gabriella did not know.
She only knew that there was a certain idiot named Isabella who was not very good at using her authority.
She possessed the most terrifying power in the entire world, yet she also had the softest personality.
While thinking this, two maid figures appeared beside her.
Gabriella looked up.
It was Creis and Olivia.
Morphis and Philina followed behind them.
The Royal Knight meeting had begun.
“Saint Son miss, Vice-Captain.”
Simona greeted the two of them and reported everything that had just happened.
The matter of the mysterious organization, the matter of Liya being locked in the basement, the matter of the seal, and of course other details as well.
Olivia already knew the full course of events, so she simply nodded.
Creis’s reaction was completely different.
After hearing that Liya was being kept in the mansion, she looked at Holy Queen Simona with a stern gaze.
“Safety. Liya is the Evil God’s subordinate. She might threaten Gabriella’s safety.”
“Don’t worry~ With me here, there won’t be any problems.”
“But what if she is used by others? Infiltration, attacks, and teleportation scrolls can be blocked by magic arrays. However, if a powerhouse comes to undo Liya’s seal, or if the Evil God personally comes to rescue her subordinate, then the one in danger will be Gabriella.”
Every word Creis spoke struck straight at the painful points.
“The premise is that they really only intend to imprison and detain Miss Liya. Of course, everything she said is correct. Everyone present thinks she is right…”
“They are all the Evil God’s subordinates. In fact, everyone except Philina and Morphis… Creis miss is their target.”
“The reason Liya was sent here is probably still a strategic consideration. Monastar is very suspicious, and so is the Flame Saint.”
“If the attackers come, then I will execute Liya.”
“The Evil God’s apostles will revive from the shadow. They are all monsters.”
The words Creis threw out left everyone stunned.
The air fell silent for an instant.
“…What?”
The amount of information in that sentence was enough to make everyone fall into thought.
However, no one continued to press the question.
Clearly, Creis had no intention of answering further either.
Gabriella took the initiative to break the awkwardness.
“Letting her continue acting was already very dangerous to begin with. Let’s cooperate for a period of time for now, okay~?”
She gave Creis a look.
The latter understood tacitly and nodded without saying anything more.
“I understand.”
“Mm.”
When everyone saw that Gabriella had “tamed” Creis with just one sentence, they were all extremely surprised.
The topic quickly shifted to work matters.
Olivia began planning work tasks for all the maids once again.
Because of the staff shortage, accurate positions still had not been assigned.
All of this was being directed in the name of the Holy Queen.
“How has the recent work situation been?”
Simona performed her act to the fullest and expressed concern about the recent work situation.
She turned her head and looked in Isabella’s direction.
“Has she been causing trouble? Miss Creis doesn’t have much experience taking care of people. There shouldn’t be any problems, right?”
This was a polite remark.
After all, the captain had the authority to command the vice-captain.
However, Isabella did not gloss over it.
Instead, she narrowed her eyes.
Clearly, she had something to say.
Gabriella had indeed guessed correctly.
Isabella spoke bluntly and began pointing out Creis’s problems.
“I believe Creis still has room for improvement.”
“Creis prohibits everyone from approaching Gabriella. Recently, she only just allowed me to get close to her, but I still cannot stay for too long. During the day, Creis takes Gabriella out and forbids anyone from following. She rarely reports Gabriella’s situation to me.”
Isabella’s floodgates of words seemed to have been pried open.
A small amount of resentment was released from that cute face.
For a moment, Gabriella did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Although it was supposed to be a work report, it felt more like she was taking the opportunity to “tattle.”
If she had not restrained herself at the last moment, she might have even reported the things about rubbing against Gabriella as well!
“In short, there is still room for improvement in Creis’s work.”
Everyone’s gazes shifted to Creis.
“Is that so, Creis? Is everything she said correct?”
The atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment.
However, Creis did not feel awkward.
She probably did not even know what “awkward” meant.
“I am doing this to protect Gabriella.”
“Alright. We need to cooperate with each other and support one another,” Isabella continued. “But this is a bit too extreme, don’t you think? The knights should still perform their own duties like the priest corps does.”
Creis shook her head.
She opened her mouth, originally intending to continue speaking, but then stopped.
Simona took this opportunity to smile and say, “Then let Creis rest for a while recently, okay~? Let Miss Isabella be responsible for taking care of things. You go handle the kitchen matters.”
Creis immediately rejected the idea. “No.”
She knew that her explanation held no meaning.
However, if she did not give a reason, then she really would be reassigned by the Holy Queen.
But if she told them that there was an Evil God’s mole among the maids, it would inevitably cause panic.
Moreover, the current situation was indeed very complicated.
This was not a wise choice.
Taking Gabriella away would also be unnecessary.
For a moment, Creis did not know how to explain.
She was experiencing powerlessness for the first time.
“Give Miss Creis one chance.”
At the critical moment, Gabriella spoke up in Creis’s defense.
“Although she is a bit stubborn in some aspects, she is definitely an excellent maid.”
“I believe in her.”
Creis immediately looked toward Gabriella.
A feeling she had never experienced before surged up in her heart.
She had not expected that Gabriella would help her out of the situation without the slightest hesitation.
Could it be that Gabriella also knows that the current situation is complicated and cannot be changed?
No, it was not like that.
Creis was certain.
The reason Gabriella spoke up for her was absolutely not merely because she agreed with her viewpoint.
As a Celestial God, she had always been alone.
This was also the first time she understood just how blissful it was to have a companion standing behind her.
“If even Gabriella has said so, then Creis, you must properly complete your work, okay~”
Olivia also gave her a warm smile and gently smoothed her blue-green hair.
“Thank you.”
Creis’s face turned red.
