Hertitz’s condition today could be considered pretty good.
In about a week’s time she had also completely adapted to the environment here.
With her joining, Isabella’s work had lightened quite a bit as well.
Of course, Isabella had also obtained most of what she wanted from her.
This included the Heavenly Oracle Envoys’ “mana signature,” and more importantly Hertitz’s purpose.
In addition, there was also the shadow inside her body.
The portion of power Gabriella had implanted would infect her body.
If nothing unexpected happened, Hertitz would fall to the same ending as Morphis and the others in less than a month, degenerating into a demon.
Dark mana would polish their bodies, shape them into new clay, then outline beautiful forms.
This would be a happy transformation process.
Especially Gabriella, who understood the Demon King very well, was thoroughly familiar with this.
The premise was that the individual soaked in dark mana could accept their new identity and adapt to the dark mana.
Otherwise, her ending would be becoming an irrational monster, or a low-rank or mid-rank demon wearing human skin.
And all of the Heavenly Oracle Envoys had shown an extremely high degree of adaptation to dark mana and even the shadow, which made Gabriella develop new suspicions about the essence of demons.
However, at least Hertitz’s current situation could still be considered relatively optimistic.
If nothing unexpected happened, she would not suffer.
Instead she would feel her body more unobstructed than ever before.
Just like the same feeling Olivia or the other already-fallen Heavenly Oracle Envoys had experienced.
“Hertitz…”
When Roselyn looked toward Hertitz, a little emotion finally appeared in her eyes.
“Lady Gabriella, if there’s nothing else I’ll take my leave first.”
“Mm.”
Gabriella nodded and watched Hertitz leave the dining room, while Roselyn gazed at her receding figure for a long time, not knowing what she was thinking.
Roselyn saw that lunchtime had arrived.
Smelling the aroma in the air she also knew it was time to leave, so she bid farewell to the two and left the room.
Gabriella was still worried about whether she could adapt to life in the mansion.
In the afternoon, Gabriella had originally wanted to go out, but she was quickly pulled onto the bed by Isabella.
At that time Gabriella had already cautiously walked to the room door, preparing to open it and leave.
She had just supported herself against the wall and was about to step out when she was caught by Isabella.
Thus, she was carried back onto the bed.
Gabriella looked at Isabella with an incredulous gaze.
The latter’s eyes kept avoiding hers.
Only after several minutes did she say,
“Wife, your body is very weak. Don’t wander around randomly.”
“That still won’t do. I was just preparing to go check on their situation…”
Gabriella, her face full of confusion, seemed a bit ashamed and added two more sentences.
Isabella spoke, then walked up in front of Gabriella and looked at her.
“Your current body really isn’t suitable for walking around casually. Just now you almost scared me to death.”
“Wife, it’s good that you know.”
“Is it Soul Severing?”
Isabella nodded. “You currently have no combat ability. If something unexpected happens, I won’t be able to get over it for several hundred years.”
She looked into Gabriella’s eyes.
“And right now you yearn to know the truth. You often call me an idiot, but actually you’re the idiot.”
“You are the other [Her]?”
“You already discovered it.”
Isabella, or rather Evil God Isabella’s gaze sharpened.
Although her tone became much colder, she appeared even more shy.
“Since that’s the case then it’s simple. Wife, actually forbidding you from going out isn’t Creis’s rule. It’s my rule.”
Gabriella nodded.
Honestly this answer still surprised her quite a bit, even if her reaction wasn’t intense.
“You were originally my thing. The shadow inside your body is already enough for me to turn you into my thing.”
“Isn’t that pretty good too?”
Gabriella smiled. “Becoming your plaything, that way you’ll never have thoughts of betrayal, right?”
“You will become an apostle.” Isabella’s voice carried a bit of threat.
She still seemed wary of Creis.
She said the two words “apostle” very softly, so softly Gabriella almost couldn’t hear them.
“Do you still remember what I told you? Those eroded by my authority will become puppets.”
“That’s not it at all. You’re just lying to me, right? Besides, I like you, so of course I’m willing to become your thing.”
Evil God Isabella did not answer for a long time.
When Gabriella said this sentence her head had already lowered.
Who knew what strange things were brewing inside her head.
She seemed to be avoiding something, an intangible emotion that could not be perceived.
Seeing this, Gabriella pressed her advantage. “You like me too, don’t you?”
Evil God Isabella looked especially rebellious today, but she said,
“I don’t like you at all.”
“Huh?”
“When you think of me it’s all sadness. When you think of [Her] you smile nonstop. You wouldn’t like me at all.”
“What strange things is the idiot saying?”
Gabriella suddenly felt she had played a bit too far.
During this period of time she hadn’t discovered that Evil God Isabella had actually thought so much.
She was indeed very different from the idiot Demon King who had already accepted a beautiful life.
Gabriella took a deep breath and raised her voice.
“Of course I liked you ten thousand years ago. Otherwise I wouldn’t have kissed you. You two were originally one body. How could there be any difference!”
By the time Gabriella said this, Isabella could no longer lift her head at all, as if everything just now had only been a joke to achieve a purpose, and had been seen through by Gabriella.
Isabella played with her own fingers.
She was doing her utmost to think of how to answer Gabriella’s words.
In the end she seemed to give up thinking, hung her head and admitted fault.
“Sorry.”
But she quickly pulled herself together and walked up in front of Gabriella.
This time she got directly onto the bed and took off her shoes.
After crawling into the covers, she didn’t have any strange ideas.
She only linked arms with Gabriella.
“I still can’t let you wander around casually after all. This is a bad habit.”
Gabriella sighed.
Seeing the way Isabella was secretly smiling, she suddenly felt she had been played.
“Idiot.”
Although this idiot still had that same stubborn look as before, she had long since fused with Demon King Isabella and become more composed.
She had become cunning.
The reason she thought this was still because after crawling into the covers, she kept pressing against her body, hugging Gabriella’s head and stuffing it into her bosom.
Evil God Isabella stroked Gabriella’s head while murmuring her name.
“Wife, Gabriella… wife, hehe, wife…”
Every time she saw Isabella so infatuated and intoxicated, Gabriella would sigh that they really were the same person.
This point was absolutely certain.
As for why she refused fusion, the answer was also obvious.
