The maid squad is too strong, what use is there for me, the Demon King?

To become the Elf Queen and rule the Olmec Kingdom and the entire Elf race.

That sounds absolutely wonderful.

Wealth and power are the things that people pursue the most.

It is precisely because of people's insatiable desire for these two things that the demons of greed and avarice, as well as the demons of power and domination, are born.

Becoming the Elf Queen would greatly satisfy one's desires for wealth and power.

But that's not what Beta wanted; otherwise, she wouldn't have run away from the wedding and given up the wealth and luxury she could have enjoyed as a princess of Saint-Tian or a princess of the Olmecs.

To be honest, Beta didn't want to be an elf queen; she just wanted to stay by Lord Shadow's side and be his helper.

However, becoming the Elf Queen and controlling the entire Elf race—isn't that also providing assistance to Lord Shadow? In fact, it would be the best way to help Lord Shadow to the greatest extent possible.

But she also had her own selfish motives.

If she were to become the Elf Queen, she would have to stay almost entirely within the Kingdom of Saintian, with virtually no chance of seeing Lord Shadow, let alone becoming Lord Shadow's woman.

What's the point then?

She has her own selfish desires; she has been giving silently, yet she remains unnoticed by Lord Shadow.

No way! Who would do something so selfless?

But what if this is Lord Shadow's decree? Is this what Lord Shadow desires?

If it were Lord Shadow's request, she would swallow all her emotions and obey Lord Shadow's will without hesitation, thus enduring endless torment.

what should I do?

Beta's beautiful eyes revealed a hint of pain and confusion; she didn't know what to do and couldn't give an answer for the moment.

Seeing Beta's pained expression, Gray realized that his question had deeply hurt Beta.

That wasn't his intention; he simply wanted to give Beta a choice. However, Beta seemed to have some reservations and couldn't follow his heart, which is why he hesitated and struggled so much.

Gray quickly tried to salvage the situation, saying softly, "Beta, you don't need to think so much. Just follow your heart. No one will restrain you now, not even me. You can do whatever you want."

is it?

Beta muttered to himself, "I'll do whatever I want..."

In this way, she would no longer hesitate or waver.

Her voice became firm and resolute as she said, "I don't want to be some kind of Elf Queen, Lord Shadow Demon. I just want to be by your side."

“If…” Beta suddenly remembered something: “If I have made you feel uncomfortable, please don’t send me away. Just pretend you never said what you just said. Please don’t abandon me…”

When Beta saw Gray change the subject and ask such a question, she naturally thought in that direction. In just a few words, the white-haired elf girl's emotions underwent several dramatic changes. The sense of loss reflected in her beautiful eyes almost made Gray slap himself.

Hey CS! Just respond to her confession honestly, why beat around the bush like this?

To avoid accidentally hurting the white-haired elf girl again, Gray finally acknowledged Beta's confession and gave his response.

"How could I bear to refuse you when you're like this?" Gray smiled.

Beta was taken aback. Did this mean... he had agreed?

She wasn't sure, and didn't dare to throw herself into Gray's arms, fearing he might say something like, "Daga, koku waru!" (だが, 断る！).

Looking at Beta's delicate and charming appearance, Gray couldn't help but sigh, how could there be such a pitiful girl?

Unlike the pink-haired succubus Kappa, who is direct and daring to express her feelings, Beta's emotions are more delicate and subtle, provided that Beta is not in a state of infatuation.

As for Aiota, we'll try to win her over later.

At least for now, Gray simply cannot bring himself to refuse Beta.

Then let's show our intentions through actions.

He suddenly moved closer to Beta and, with a gasp from her, pulled her into his arms.

Holding the white-haired elf girl's slender waist and feeling Beta's soft, delicate body, Gray said softly, "Alright, there's nothing to be afraid of anymore. From now on, you can call yourself my wife."

As soon as she finished speaking, Beta's eyes lit up. She looked at Gray with her beautiful, affectionate eyes, then closed her eyes, raised her head slightly, and offered her lips to him.

This move was undoubtedly a way for Gray to demonstrate his sincerity through actions.

His delicate lips were exposed to Gray's eyes, and without further hesitation, he kissed them directly.

Their lips met, and Gray enjoyed the touch of Beta's lips.

Indeed, taking the initiative is a much better experience than being ambushed or forced.

Although Gray had a lot of experience in this area, his kissing skills were still very clumsy, probably because he was always forced to reciprocate.

Gradually, Gray realized that Beta in front of him was not behaving honestly.

She stuck out her delicate tongue, trying to pry open his lips.

Clearly, Beta, whose first kiss involved sticking out her tongue, wasn't satisfied with just a simple kiss. Having finally achieved this, Beta wasn't going to let it end easily and was determined to have a complete oral-oral exchange with Gray.

Don't you find it disgusting to stick your tongue out and kiss, exchanging saliva?

Have people who ask this kind of question ever experienced the feeling of kissing?

Normally, after your lips are pressed together for a while, you will have difficulty breathing, forcing you to let go and reluctantly end this beautiful moment.

But how long would it take to make Gray and Beta, two high-level professionals, feel short of breath?

Their lips met, and the two kissed passionately until Beta was out of breath but still stubbornly refused to let go. Gray forced them to stop before Beta could have any problems.

After a passionate kiss, Beta's body went limp, and she collapsed into Gray's arms, her eyes glazed over.

"Lord Shadow Demon...so powerful...this subordinate...admires you..." she gasped for breath, uttering these words in broken sentences.

Beta was too exhausted to cause any more trouble. Taking advantage of this moment, Gray whispered, "After we've dealt with things here, come back to Bifeng Territory with me. We'll confront Aieta."

Beta had no objection to this.

Aieta is Gray's real fiancée (just a quick-thinking sister), and he definitely needs to inform her about his current relationship with Lord Shadow.

But what will Iota think? She probably won't be as eager as Kappa to cuckold herself.

Although they had been sisters for several years, Beta's impression of Eiota was that of a red-haired girl who was always engrossed in her research and had no interest in anything else.

Beta couldn't guess her reaction.

In short, we should meet force with force and water with earth.

No one can take my Shadow Lord away!
