Chapter 1012 – Afterword ─ Lady of the Demon World
There is no way that a mother and daughter will get along better just because they have sex once or because they engage in pussy teasing sex.
‘In the end, wouldn’t it be said that Ceres was ready to forgive her mother at any time from a very long time ago?’
Venus, with a satisfied expression, nodded and stood still as the mechanical arms that came down from the floor and ceiling cleaned her body.
‘In fact, if Ceres had thought that she could never forgive Eve… As soon as the curse was lifted, she would have asked me to kill her mother and avenge her. Doesn’t the fact that nothing like that happen mean that she was fully willing to forgive to some extent?
Venus came out of the shower cleanly in the morning, and her mind and heart were as refreshed as her clean body.
‘Anyway! I’m glad things between Ceres and Eve have become normal! We’re going to see each other for a long time, so what’s the point in dragging out a story that can be resolved with just one word?’
Refreshed in both body and mind, Venus moved away from her mechanical arms, humming softly to herself. Venus, wearing the underwear that Ceres had prepared and a light dress on top, placed her hand on her waist.
“Before returning to earth, do something that can only be solved in the demon world…”
Venus was so determined that she dared to talk to herself.
Hedone must be working at the imperial palace, but he really couldn’t just have sex every day in the demon world.
“First of all…”
“—I think it would be better for you to talk to me first, right? Mr. VIP?”
Venus, who was about to talk to herself as she walked towards the bed, was startled and looked at Eve Terra, who opened the door of the room and appeared with great timing.
“How… Did you appear at such perfect timing?”
“Didn’t Ver tell you? All the systems in this White Palace are in the palm of my hand. Once we confirm that Mr. VIP took a bath and dried himself with Friday’s help, it will be obvious when we can talk to him.”
“I think I understand why Ceres masturbated himself with an item that is considered an antique by the standards of demons…”
Venus snorted as if she was dumbfounded.
“Well, I just thought the timing was perfect? This is how I know when to go to the bathroom.”
“Of course I can tell.”
“… What?!”
Venus looked horrified.
“You can also accurately determine when menstruation occurs. It’s the basis of business, right? People are people, so there’s no need to say bad things about them when they’re hungry, sleepy, or on their period.”
“You… You… Really… Are such a difficult mother for a daughter.”
“This is something every mother does.”
Venus shook his head from side to side sincerely.
“I’m done with the joke… What do I need to talk about with you first? Didn’t you think that building a city on earth would be a good idea for now?”
“For the city, I will draw up a detailed plan and send it to the ground later through Ber. However, what I will talk about this time is a little more political and a little more personal.”
“Hmm… It’s political…”
Venus nodded, thinking that the story would take a long time.
“You are the great mother of Pandemonium, and I am the god of a new age, the emperor of an empire where the sun never sets. It is impossible not to be politically active. Let’s do something that will bring good results both above and below ground.”
“Thank you for your quick understanding.”
Eve smiled and winked once.
“Then, let me quickly get to the point.”
“Rest in peace.”
Venus waved his hand lightly and turned toward the table, intending to drink the water Ceres had prepared.
“For the sake of peace above and below ground, please marry me, Mr. VIP.”
“… You’re getting married?”
Venus shook his hand and lifted the cup containing the drink.
“Well… Yes… Definitely! It would be quite a political act for me to marry you as proof of normal exchanges between Pandemonium and the surface.”
“No? What are you talking about? Please marry Vergilia, the princess of the Demon World.”
─ Clink!
Venus dropped the cup he was holding in his hand and pointed his finger at himself.
“Ke, marry Ceres…?”
“Your Majesty! What’s going on…”
As soon as Ceres heard the sound of the glass breaking, he jumped out from Venus’ shadow and shouted. Because she was taking a shower, her head and body were covered in white foam.
“So, you’re asking me to marry you…?”
“Huh? Who… No, mother? Mom? Of course, I don’t know how to get married like that…”
“No? Ver. Be quick. It’s not for nothing that they say you can take out an ox’s horn at once, right?”
Eve said something with a nice smile.
“W-What are you talking about?! I just got married to Hedone! I guess it’s a little bit! A lot! I don’t have a conscience to get married right away when Minos wasn’t even born…!”〈 Br〉
“That’s right, Mom! Your Majesty and I can get married at any time. Don’t encourage me!”
Seeing the two shouting in a hurry, Eve grabbed the door and winked, turning her around.
“Timing is always important in political marriages. Timing~”
Eve’s words, ‘Get married’ were words that contained more sincerity than anything else.
* * *
“Ah… I was prepared for this. It’s okay, Your Majesty.”
Hedone in the hologram smiled with a very calm expression.
“I have committed a mortal sin.”
“No, really. I’m fine, Mr. Ceres. I thought it was natural for you to get married the second time, Mr. Ceres. And the fact that you’re insisting on such a period doesn’t mean that Queen Eve has some kind of plan in mind, right?”
Hedone really wasn’t even the slightest bit angry. It almost seemed cute that Venus and Ceres told the whole story with extremely embarrassed expressions.
Haha… I guess I’ll have to listen to what Eve had in mind from now on…”
“Me and Minos, don’t worry too much and just talk comfortably. I heard you didn’t just tell me to get married for your daughter’s sake, but added that it was for the future of both the surface and the underground?”
Hedone brightened her eyes.
“Your Majesty is the father of an empire on which the sun never sets. If you can save more people and enjoy peace without getting your hands bloodied or sweating, shouldn’t you do it?”
“… Thank you for understanding, Ceres.”
“If I were this much a temperamental woman, would I have dared to marry Your Majesty for the first time?”
Ceres could barely burst out laughing at Hedone’s joke.
“Thank you…”
“Thank you. I am sorry that I seemed to have offended your Majesty and Mr. Ceres. Please talk comfortably, resolve the matter, and return to earth.”
Venus ended the conversation by nodding his head and shaking his hand.
“I don’t know what my mother was thinking when she said it was a good idea to get married right away…”
Ceres took a long breath and took Venus’ hand.
“Please don’t misunderstand. I never told her mother about marriage!”
“The two of you slept together yesterday, but I don’t think they talked about it, so don’t worry…”
Venus laughed and patted Ceres on the back.
“Aren’t you planning on spending your first night as a honeymoon already?”
“Mom!”
Eve, wearing beautiful makeup, appeared in the room where Ceres and Venus were waiting and naturally smiled.
“I still feel tingly in my lower abdomen and lower back, but I have to work.”
“I guess you weren’t joking when you asked Ceres and me to get married right away?”
Eve nodded and signaled to the android standing behind her.
“I was very serious in suggesting that Venus and Vere get married quickly. I was not joking, nor was I trying to vent my anger about being sexually harassed by her daughter.”
Eve, with serious eyes, shrugged her shoulders, shaking the bottle of iced Americano that the android had taken from side to side.
“… Are you sincere? Mother?”
“Now that we can finally act like mother and daughter with my friend, are you going to play around?”
“… Then do you really want the princess of the Demon World, the daughter of Pandemonium, the woman called Lady to marry the god of a new era?”
Eve nodded and sipped her coffee.
“Sincerely.”
“Hmm… Is there a reason you’re in a hurry?”
Eve nodded her head to Venus’ cautious question.
“Ber’s existence in the demon world was unclear for a long time.”
“It was unclear?”
“… Whether under the command of the Great Mother, the Lady of the Demon World is carrying out a sacred mission on earth. One day, she will become a guide to lead the sisters of Pandemonium.”
Ceres pointed to herself with her hand.
“That’s the impression that ordinary demons have of me.”
“Everyone knows that Ceres is doing very important work on earth, and everyone is surprised to learn that Ceres is Virgilia… But in reality, only Eve is the one who knows exactly where and what she is doing. Is it true?”
“That’s the correct answer.”
Venus’ mouth was itching, and she closed her eyes once.
“… Why did you do that?”
“It’s a wise move, mother. The earth is large. If I become the central point of what happens on earth, a force can arise centered around me, right? In the end, Eternity also becomes a force and reminds me of how it escaped my mother’s control. If…”
Ceres took a long breath and gulped down the lemon-scented drink.
“You made a smart decision not to tell the people in the demon world where I was and what I was doing.”
“In the end… Does my marriage to Ceres declare that the princess of the underworld has completed the mission given to her by her great mother and has returned to Pandemonium?”
“That’s right. In addition to doing this, we are also creating an excuse to build a wonderful city on earth. In order to proceed with such a huge project, you need an event that will serve as a springboard.”
At Eve’s serious words, Venus closed her eyes and crossed her arms, pulling her chest up slightly.
“Hmm… Your Majesty, the Emperor who is marrying the Lady of the Demon World after completing her mission…”
“… Your Majesty Venus…?”
Ceres looked extremely anxious and looked at Venus and Eve alternately.
“That’s great!! Eve!! Let’s get married quickly! If it’s a wedding dress, doesn’t Asmo make it beautiful!”
“Oh, please…!”
“Hehe, okay. I’ll prepare a wedding fit for the princess of the demon world, so VIP, please enjoy it.”
“My… My thoughts don’t matter?!”
Ceres stood up from her seat and pointed to herself with both hands.
“Oh, Vert. Do you not want to marry Mr. Venus?”
“Ah… No…”
“Ceres is Ceres, but isn’t she also the princess of the demon world, Lady Vergilia? This wedding will definitely be of great help to you and me, and it will be a pretty wedding that suits you well.”
“… Ugh… If you say that much…”
Ceres, her face red, finally sank down in her chair, ran her fingers through her hair, and opened her mouth.
“I’ll try to think about the wedding positively…”
