Because Gabriella was resting today, her maid duties were entirely taken over by Simona and the Saintess.
Though they were substituting for her, no one could truly handle all of Gabriella’s work—especially not these two novice maids.
During mealtime, it was the Saintess who helped serve the food.
Mimicking Gabriella’s style as she plated the dishes for the two of them, it gave Gabriella a taste of what it felt like to be the master… But she was extremely unaccustomed to it.
For so many years, she had been the one standing in Loli’s position, serving Isabella.
Now, she was sitting at the table with her, enjoying breakfast together.
They weren’t sitting across from each other, though.
They were side by side.
Gabriella could feel the warmth from Isabella’s body and the familiar scent emanating from her—a sensation that had become much more sensitive ever since she started being tainted by demonification.
“Gabriella really does look cuter in a maid outfit. It gives off this feeling of… holiness being tamed.”
The Saintess tilted her head as she said that.
Gabriella just looked at her like she was an idiot, knowing full well that the Demon King wouldn’t be fooled by such a comment.
What holiness?
Besides, wearing a maid outfit was simply her way of acknowledging the Demon King’s preferences.
Tamed… Well, yes—this beautiful outfit was indeed the best way to tame the Demon King.
The Saintess continued.
“As a rare day off, you two could… let loose a little more.”
“What does Loli mean by that?” Isabella asked, playing along perfectly.
“It means the things couples do together.”
“Hmm?”
Gabriella couldn’t stand watching this anymore.
She suspected that the Saintess and the Demon King had conspired beforehand.
How could she not know about the Fountain of Purity?!
As her former weapon, no one should be more loyal to her than the Saintess Loli.
She was supposed to choose the correct and happiest path for her master, just like the fairies in legends.
Yet this incredibly loyal Loli hadn’t mentioned a word about the Fountain of Purity!
She was even seemingly helping the Demon King.
Gabriella couldn’t help but wonder if Loli had defected to the Demon King’s side.
But did that really count as betrayal?
Gabriella didn’t quite understand, because she had openly shown everyone that she was the Demon King’s loving wife.
So, the Saintess Loli must have misunderstood her intentions!
This wasn’t something hard to explain.
Gabriella still wanted to contribute to world peace~ War was definitely not something Isabella wanted to see.
“Idiot Loli.”
Gabriella reached out and patted her head.
The latter cooperated perfectly, leaning her head forward to let Gabriella pet her.
For some reason, it reminded her of the cute little cat from the neighbor’s house.
Whenever its owner reached out, it would nuzzle right up against the hand.
It was exactly like how the Saintess Loli was acting now.
Then, should I act like that toward Isabella too?
No, no, no—how could I possibly do that?
Me, acting spoiled toward the Demon King?
That’s an outright lie.
“Gabriella really is so gentle, just like Loli said.”
At that moment, Isabella was admiring Gabriella’s shy expression with great interest.
“Demon King, why are you teasing like that?”
“I’m not teasing. Gabriella often forgives the faults of those she cares about. She’s a magnanimous and virtuous wife. No wonder I liked you so much before—it turns out there was a reason for it.”
“Isabella…!”
Gabriella looked at her with aggrieved eyes, but that grievance quickly vanished when the Demon King’s tail hooked around her own small tail.
Being praised by the Demon King really makes me happy.
Anyone would feel good when sincerely acknowledged and accepted—even if it’s praise from the Demon King.
Gabriella felt she hadn’t done anything wrong.
“Ah…”
Suddenly, Isabella placed her hand on Gabriella’s head.
She didn’t stroke it right away, as if waiting for something.
Gabriella had no choice but to lean up slightly, pressing her head more firmly against that hand before it finally began to caress her.
Every time those hands stroked her hair, she couldn’t help but hope they’d touch her horns next.
Even the lightest brush would make Gabriella’s face flush red. But she didn’t dare say outright, “Please touch my horns”—that would be far too embarrassing.
So she could only try to move herself closer.
Seeing the scene, Loli and Isabella exchanged knowing smiles.
“Gabriella, have you tried Elsa’s cooking?”
Isabella scooped up a piece of cake with her spoon.
Pink mousse drizzled over the cake base, paired with creamy white frosting.
This was a small cake her sister had made in imitation of hers.
Honestly, though a bit jealous, both the appearance and quality were good enough to earn Gabriella’s solid approval.
“Elsa really has talent. She was always a quick learner as a child…”
Gabriella understood that even her sister, who was gradually falling into the abyss, still retained all the good qualities she had as a human.
Just as she had thought before.
Demonification didn’t necessarily bring pain—as long as one’s will was strong, there wouldn’t be any issues.
Suddenly thinking of something, she looked at the Demon King who was still stroking her head and quickly added,
“I can do even better. I can make tastier cakes for Your Majesty the Demon King.”
“I believe in my wife. And aren’t you already amazing as you are?”
With that, the Demon King put the spoon into her own mouth… Wasn’t she going to feed me?
Just as Gabriella wondered about it, the hand stroking her head wrapped around the back of her neck, gently pulling her closer.
Gabriella had already prepared herself—she knew the Demon King would take advantage a bit more.
But when their lips met and moistened, she still felt a rush of excitement.
“Nn…!”
“Mm…”
Sweetness flooded in, mingled with the Demon King’s flavor.
For a moment, she couldn’t tell if it was the cake, her master’s fragrant taste, or the satisfaction from the [Gift].
“N-No, not like this… It’s still daytime?”
“Oh… If my wife doesn’t like it, then never mind.”
Isabella said with an apologetic tone.
Gabriella immediately explained, “That’s not what I meant! Later, when we have children, we can often…”
She quickly shut her mouth, realizing that sounded like she was tacitly approving the Demon King’s actions.
But she didn’t know how to refute it either.
“I understand~” Isabella nodded with a smile.
Gabriella’s cheeks puffed up, and then she leaned against the Demon King’s shoulder, lightly bumping her with a horn.
When they left the dining room, Gabriella began planning ahead.
The war hadn’t ended yet.
The human armies had already waited far too long. The urgent priority was to get Simona out of here.
Before the [Ceremony] began.
A few days ago, she had mentioned wanting to save Elsa and Tina.
Gabriella wondered how that was progressing now…
As she held the Demon King’s hand and walked toward the office, pondering how to handle the humans’ next move, she happened to run into Simona on the stairs.
At that moment, Simona was standing with Liya, seemingly doing something.
When Gabriella saw the blush on her face, the golden horns on her head, and how tightly she was holding Liya’s hand, she instantly understood everything.
