Chapter 994 – Afterword ─ Venus Wants to Treat Ceres Like a Princess of the Demon World!
‘Ceres is the princess of the demon world?’
Venus was so embarrassed that she began to think thoughts that she had never been able to think for a single moment in her life.
‘But Ceres…? No, Ceres… Isn’t what Arisa said completely wrong?’
Venus was lost in deep thought as she walked down the hallway, unable to easily resolve the questions that began to arise.
Is Ceres really the princess of the demon world?
The answer to that question was very simple. Since Eve Terra is called the Queen of the Demon World and the Great Mother of the Demon World, Ceres is a princess.
Even though she was Eve Terra’s biological daughter, it was actually a very foolish idea to think about whether she was a princess or not.
‘But. Doesn’t Cere want to be punished himself? So even after her identity was known, she told me that she would live as a commoner… ‘
Ceres was not a shameless person.
She intended to take full responsibility for the chaos and deaths she had created.
So the beginning of the atonement was to serve Venus Holympia for the rest of my life. The path Venus wants to take is definitely a path filled with peace and love.
While helping Venus for a long time, he had the heart to do his best in ‘service’ to do at least one good thing for the people on earth.
‘I know their feelings better than anyone else, so we never had a big conversation with each other…’
Venus sighed heavily and stopped in his tracks as he walked down the hallway. Instead, he moved his feet one step back.
He ended up hiding behind the wall in the hallway, but he had no choice.
“Mr. Ceres! Mr. Ceres! I finished cleaning like you said!”
“Lord Ceres! I’ve finished organizing the living room!”
At the end of the hallway where Venus was hiding, Ceres and a bunch of maids were standing next to her.
Not only were there maids, but even ordinary nobles who did chores in the imperial palace were waiting for conversation.
“Everyone did a great job. I can see the palace becoming brighter as the days go by. Everyone worked hard, Emma and Maria…”
Ceres was very skillful in giving new tasks to her maids, and she gave rest to those who had worked a lot.
She was very good at using her demonic tools, telling people exactly where to do things and handling them skillfully.
‘Ceres used to work so hard… But she only did so much to help me, who was her princess, and assist me with my work…’
Ceres’ work naturally increased as Venus became emperor.
Maybe she even takes care of her own good work, even if she leaves it to someone else. Ceres was at least a woman with a personality that could be considered as such.
“I’m sorry. The children suddenly came…”
“Haha, no. Isn’t this something we should take care of in the first place?”
“That’s right. It’s rather shameful to borrow Ceres’ power.”
After the waves of maids passed, it was a conversation with a nobleman.
Those working in the imperial palace were quite naturally seeking the wisdom of Ceres.
“We are doing our best for the era of peace that His Majesty wishes for, but…”
“Unfortunately, we don’t know much about demons. Could you give us some advice?”
“First, I would like you to check the documents here. I thought we should start with proper diplomatic relations…”
Upon hearing the nobles’ story, Ceres smiled and humbled himself to help them.
“Queunnng…”
It wasn’t just that I was suffering from heavy work.
In the eyes of the nobles, the only ‘demon’ who could converse normally and talk peacefully was Ceres.
She has even been working for the Empire for a long time. Although she has shown many different appearances, she is now Venus’ faithful lady’s maid.
They were strangely dependent on Ceres in that they could talk enough and gain enough knowledge about the demon world.
‘I knew that Ceres was busy with work even before I grew up…!”
After all, isn’t it too much work? Venus was unable to speak to Ceres, who was steadily solving the problem while thinking to himself.
“Hmm… Ceres? The room we’ll be staying in today is in terrible condition.”
A female nobleman snorted and approached Ceres, who had resolved many of the nobleman’s questions.
Unlike the maids and nobles so far, she did not think highly of Ceres.
“What problem do you have?”
“Ah…”
The female noblewoman looked a little embarrassed when Ceres lowered herself without even frowning.
“Ah… Well, it’s not cleaned very well. There’s something strange there that I’ve never seen in my life, so it’s uncomfortable.”
“I’m sorry. It looks like the children’s cleaning wasn’t good enough. If you don’t mind, I will quickly clean up and tidy up the room.”
“Oh my…”
The noblewoman, who was planning to harshly punish Ceres, became embarrassed and took out her fan to cover her face.
Haha… No matter how much I want to argue, I seem to have nothing to say when Ceres says he will clean it himself.’
No matter how much Ceres was a commoner or a sinner, she was now the Lady’s Maid of Venus, the most dignified being in the omnipotent and omnipotent empire on which the sun never sets.
Ceres just didn’t do anything because of that fact.
“Hmm… I wonder if I’m being rude to His Majesty…”
“No, it’s our fault, lady.”
“Well… Well, I’ll be happy if you clean it for me. By the way, what are the things in the room? Aside from being rude, I’m curious.”
“It’s from the demon world…”
Ceres very skillfully comforted and soothed the female noblewoman who seemed dissatisfied.
Looking at the way she let out an exclamation in an instant, it seemed like she wouldn’t be very dissatisfied when she went to work at the palace as the days went by.
‘Ceres certainly has good management skills…’
Venus watched the back of Ceres moving further and further away with admiration.
“But still…”
Ceres is the princess of the demon world.
The words that Arisa said as if they were nothing continued to circulate in Venus’ head.
* * *
“Ceres.”
After a fairly busy time, when it was time to eat dinner.
Venus finally couldn’t bear it anymore and patted Ceres’ bottom and called her out.
“Doesn’t the food suit your taste?”
“How could you not like the meal you prepared?”
Venus spoke with a smile and then gave Ceres a pat on the butt.
“While I was talking with Arisa today, I remembered something that I was ashamed to recognize until now.”
Hehe, what’s going on?”
Ceres smiled warmly and cleared the plate of Hedone, who was eating next to her.
“Didn’t you talk to Arisa at quite a length today?”
“Hmmmm! We had a long talk, but we only talked about Ceres briefly.”
“Thank you.”
Ceres didn’t think she had anything special to say.
I thought it would be a sexual story at best, and it would go that far.
“I don’t think even Hedone would have thought of it… Anyway, what about Ceres? Isn’t she the princess of the demon world?”
“… Oh, my.”
Hedone opened her red eyes wide and looked at Ceres.
“Is that so? You’re Queen Eve’s only biological daughter, right? So, I think even the term princess is a bit of a low level of dignity.”
“Your Majesty…”
“Hmm, isn’t what I said wrong? From now on, I want to somehow lead the relationship between the demons and the people on earth to a better direction. But, shouldn’t I be using you, the princess, as a lady’s maid? “
As soon as he heard Venus’ words, Hedone nodded her head.
“It may not be true for everyone, but Mr. Ceres is definitely not an ordinary person, right? And doesn’t everyone in the demon world know that?”
“I’m not saying this because someone started an argument… But considering it’s human nature, isn’t it a bit wrong?”
“I’m fine.”
Ceres was surprised for a moment, but he smiled and poured a drink into Venus’ cup.
“Still.”
“I am very satisfied with my current life. Assisting Your Majesty and helping the Empress is the greatest happiness of my life.”
“Well, doesn’t Cere have personal happiness or something like that? It’s good to make atonement, but it doesn’t mean you have to leave everything behind and live like a part of a machine.”
“The sins I have committed are deep.”
Ceres smiled brightly and gently closed his mouth.
“Okay… Still. Ceres is a princess…”
“Hehe, I am just your Majesty’s lady maid. It is rude to be called a princess.”
Venus had nothing to say. He said he didn’t want to be called that, but he couldn’t force himself to be treated like a princess.
‘Still…’
Venus, troubled, looked at the plate quietly and his eyes lit up.
Then he stood up with a smile and patted Ceres’ buttocks once more.
“… Your Majesty?”
Ceres looked at Venus with anxious eyes because when Venus acted like this, she always gave an answer that was absurd, even just her ability to act.
“It looks like we have to go to the demon world for peace with the demons!”
“Oh my.”
“It is Ceres who knows more about Pandemonium than anyone else! Have fun guiding me!”
“Ve, Your Majesty Venus? What are you thinking?”
Venus smiled as she looked at Ceres who was embarrassed.
“I don’t know about the world, but aren’t there many people in the demon world who treat Ceres like a princess? Think of it as going on vacation with me while establishing a good relationship with the demons!”
Ceres rubbed his forehead with his hand at Venus’ absurd actions and judgment.
