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

Waaaaah~~~ I can't eat anymore.

(┯_┯)

As Gray approached, the girl frowned, then relaxed, as if she had made up her mind, though her pretty face still showed an unwilling expression.

Gray had already walked up to this unusual girl and started chatting her up.

"Hello, my name is Grey Bran..."

But then the girl suddenly handed over several plates of cake.

"Eat this, it's delicious."

"Uh... thank you?"

Gray took the cake from the girl with a bewildered expression, and was momentarily at a loss for what to do.

I think I've only just started talking to him, right? Why is this guy suddenly offering me cake?

Seeing that Gray hadn't spoken yet, the girl frowned again, her resentful gaze making Gray feel a little uneasy.

For some reason, Gray always felt that her gaze revealed three parts disappointment and seven parts envy.

"Trust me, this is really delicious!" the girl said earnestly.

Although I still don't understand what's going on, does this girl mean that I should eat these cakes?

So Gray grabbed his fork, stabbed the hard object into the sticky white lump, and slowly put it into his mouth.

While Gray was eating the cake, the girl's expression underwent a series of changes.

(゜p゜)

(゜￢゜)

[Σ( °△°|||)︴]！

(′。＿。｀)……

Watching the girl's changing expression, Gray felt as if he hadn't just eaten a piece of cake, but had done something monstrous...

When the taste of the cake reached him, Gray's eyes lit up.

It's sweet but not cloying; this is still the best cake I've ever eaten (including in my past life).

"Didn't I lie to you?"

Gray nodded, and the girl turned and left.

I thought she had walked away, but a few seconds later the girl came back with several more plates of cake in her hands.

"Try these, they're delicious too (●°u°●)!"

Gray was still completely bewildered; he didn't quite understand the girl's thought process.

Am I just not good at understanding girls?

No, if it were Alpha, I could probably guess what she was thinking based on her facial expression.

So it's not that I'm slow-witted, but rather that this girl in front of me is just too unconventional.

Gray asked politely, "Um...aren't you going to eat?"

The girl touched her tummy.

"If being 'ten out of ten' means being stuffed, then I'm already twelve or thirteen out of ten."

Then, the two continued feeding each other for no apparent reason.

I have to admit, this girl has a really good palate; everything she feeds her is top-notch food.

During this culinary feast, the girl skillfully cleared away many potential hazards for Gray, ensuring that his stomach was filled only with the most delicious food, thus maximizing the satisfaction of Gray's taste buds.

Gray now roughly understands the girl's psychology.

I can't eat anymore, so these delicious foods are yours! My comrade!

The feeding session only ended when Gray couldn't eat anymore.

"Wow, you can eat a lot!" The girl rested her head on her hands, tilting her head to look at Gray. "That's already ten of my usual amount."

"It's alright, maybe I just have a big appetite..." Gray scratched his head.

This demon king's body craved more energy, so Gray's appetite became enormous.

Actually, Gray could have continued eating if he had used magic to aid digestion, but there was no need for that.

You've already eaten a lot; it would be impolite to eat more.

"Philippa, you're here?"

Upon hearing this, Gray immediately turned to look at the newcomer, while the girl instantly showed a look of disgust upon hearing the voice.

The visitor had a handsome face with well-defined features, a high nose bridge, and a gentle smile that always graced his lips, making him appear both approachable and dignified.

His skin was fair, with a healthy rosy glow in the sunlight. He wore a well-tailored dark suit with an elegant bow tie, every detail showcasing his taste and refinement.

I remember this person is Lucas Wallace, right?

Lucas Valestried is the son of the Kingdom's Prime Minister, Cassien Valestried.

This prime minister is a remarkable figure, holding a high position in the central government and wielding power no less than that of the royal family.

His son, Lucas, was a bit older than Gray was now. He always had a refined and polite demeanor, but Gray always felt that he was hypocritical and had an unpleasant aura about him.

Philippa, that must be the girl's name, right?

Philippa pouted and hid behind Gray.

"Excuse me, are you looking for Philippa? I just saw her go out."

Gray sighed, "I don't believe that at all!"

Seeing Philippa hiding behind Gray, Lucas's eyes revealed a hint of disdain, which was directed at Gray, but he concealed it well, and most people could not tell that anything was amiss.

Unfortunately, the other two people present felt there was something wrong with that look.

"Miss Philippa, please don't tease me."

Lucas put on a warm, welcoming smile, but Philippa wasn't buying it at all and felt increasingly disgusted.

So it seems that the two know each other, and Lucas has been trying to curry favor with Philippa, but Philippa ignores him completely and doesn't even bother to hide her disgust.

This feeling is like... a goddess and her simp?

Wow, this little girl already has a simp at such a young age. What will she be like when she grows up?

With just a chuckle from her, every man in the kingdom would grovel and vie to become her dog.

Of course, the above was just a joke.

In Gray's opinion, it was impossible for Lucas to like Philippa, a little girl, yet he went to such lengths to please her.

In other words, Philippa's status was so terrifying that even Lucas, the prime minister's son, had to fawn over her.

However, judging from the feeding and interaction just now, Philippa is at least very friendly to others, at least to me. She is not a cold goddess who only gives Lucas a bad look.

Gray was caught in the middle of the two, feeling extremely awkward. He thought he could move aside slightly, but the girl behind him grabbed his clothes, preventing him from getting away.

The scene was very embarrassing.

Gray couldn't take it anymore, grabbed the girl's hand behind him, and whispered something close to her.

"He seems to want to talk to you about something. Do you want to hear what he has to say first?"

Philippa reluctantly emerged from behind Gray.

Lucas saw their intimate actions, but he only frowned slightly and did not react.

"Miss Philippa, there will be a dance segment soon. Would you please dance with me?"

Lucas extended his hand in a gentlemanly gesture, but Philippa slapped it away.

"do not want!"

Lucas's smile froze on his face.

"Can I take that Miss Philippa doesn't want to dance at the banquet today?"

“No.” Philippa glanced at Gray beside her, and Gray immediately had a bad feeling.

"My dance partner is this Loreb something."
