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

"Lord Phantom."

As soon as the meeting ended, Gray rushed outside, fearing that he might be targeted by something evil at any moment.

But it was all for naught. Capa hadn't just started watching him after the meeting; he'd been keeping an eye on Gray's movements for quite some time.

But it wasn't Kappa who stopped Gray, but the silent demon girl Theta, who had been silently watching Gray ever since she appeared.

Seeing this, Capa stopped in his tracks. Sensing an opportunity, he decisively let Sita and Gray talk.

She decided not to bother them.

After giving Sita a thumbs-up, Kappa turned to find Bai Lin, seemingly wanting to bond with the newly joined younger sister.

Hopefully, Bai Lin won't be corrupted...

However, Gray wasn't thinking about the aftermath of these events; he still had to deal with Theta, who had come looking for him.

"What is it, Sita?"

Gray felt a little guilty.

Although Theta's 2G network information was extremely outdated, spanning 200 chapters, seeing Kappa and Gray's intimate actions and hearing the pink-haired succubus's outrageous remarks made him understand something.

How is Grey supposed to explain that he refused her request to have a child and then went and slept with Capa...?

This is an act of God!

Even if you say that, it's not very convincing, is it?

Just as Gray had expected, Theta did indeed come to him because of this matter.

"Lord Shadow, have you already had sexual relations with Kappa?"

Still expressionless, still in a flat tone, Sita was one of only two among the Ten Shadow Attendants who could utter this word without batting an eye.

This is what facial paralysis looks like.

Faced with such a direct shot, Gray nodded and hummed in agreement.

Instantly, the taciturn demon girl's face darkened.

In reality, nothing has changed, but Gray has this feeling.

"I understand. Lord Shadow Demon intends to have offspring with a succubus rather than with a subordinate who is a true demon."

Although Sita remained expressionless and her tone remained unchanged, Gray sensed that she looked somewhat aggrieved.

"This... let me explain... no, let me explain..."

Gray was somewhat incoherent; he had no idea how to handle the situation.

"Your subordinate understands. From now on, your subordinate will no longer bother Lord Demon Shadow. Please do as you please."

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

There was no change in her expression or tone, making it impossible to read Sita's emotions, but Gray felt that if he didn't stop her at this moment, there would be big problems, so he quickly chased after her.

Sita seemed perfectly normal, her pace consistent with her usual rhythm, which made Gray momentarily doubt whether he was overthinking things. But better safe than sorry, Gray strode forward and embraced the silent demon girl.

Seeing the two lines of tears streaming down Sita's face, Gray was glad he had caught up with her.

He shouldn't be so dense now, and he should be able to understand his children's thoughts a little better, right?

This expressionless woman didn't change her expression at all, even when she cried. If it weren't for her tears betraying her, Grey would have been fooled into thinking that nothing was wrong with her.

"You silly girl..." Gray sighed helplessly, and gently pulled her into his arms.

"Lord Shadow Demon, is there anything else?" she asked, her voice not trembling at all despite the tears.

This guy has a natural poker face; he'd definitely be a pro at cards.

“What’s wrong…” Gray sighed softly, “Sita, touch your cheek.”

"Yes, ma'am." Sita complied: "It's wet..."

Gray immediately broke down: "What do you mean, wet? You've been crying."

Sita shook her head: "Lord Shadow Demon, it's impossible. Sita doesn't cry. It's sweat."

Gray immediately retorted, "What sweat would drip from your eyes? You haven't done any strenuous exercise that would make you sweat!"

"That's a yawn."

"You yawn so much? You know perfectly well whether you're yawning or not."

Gray realized that this girl was truly persistent.

So he unleashed his killing move.

“Sita, you cried. I command you to realize this.”

Sita is a descendant of the former Demon King who appointed him Grand Marshal of the Demon King's Army. He is absolutely loyal to the Demon King and obeys any of the Demon King's orders.

Sita's expression remained unchanged, but her trembling body had already betrayed her inner turmoil.

"Yes, Lord Shadow, I cried, but I don't know why. Sita shouldn't cry."

Now, the only thing that's tough about Sita is her mouth.

“No, you know why,” Gray retorted without hesitation. “You and I both know, it’s an order, tell the truth.”

Sita trembled even more violently, and for the first time, her conscious mind resisted Gray's command. Each tremor represented a clash between her conscious mind and Gray's command.

Ultimately, her willpower could not overcome the "loyalty" in her blood, and her eyes welled up with even more tears.

"Yes, Lord Shadow, I cried because you refused to accept me. I didn't want you to know, so I lied to you. This is unacceptable. I, Xita, will immediately commit suicide to atone for my sins."

As she spoke, she deliberately tried to break free from Gray's embrace.

"Silly girl."

Even if Gray were a Sigma, he would know that he had to hold her tight at this moment.

“You have received my forgiveness. I command you not to commit suicide to atone for your sins. I command you not to struggle.”

After a series of commands, Sita remained motionless, simply staying in Gray's arms, basking in his warmth.

This is what Theta wanted.

Sita's desire to have a child with Lord Shadow was not out of loyalty to Lord Shadow, but rather out of a different kind of psychology.

Xita truly loves Lord Demon Shadow and wants to have a deeper conversation with him and win his favor.

Sita envies Kappa for being able to have sex with the Shadow Lord.

Sita wants it too.

Sita knew that Lord Shadow was unwilling and that Lord Shadow disliked her.

Xita disappeared voluntarily, not wanting to cause trouble for Lord Demon Shadow.

"You... stupid girl!"

With each tear that fell from Sita's eyes, Gray's embrace tightened a little more.

Gray felt he should take the initiative.

So what if he's a jerk? One more or one less won't make a difference. What's wrong with having two more relationships?

He's been reincarnated and still not a harem protagonist? What's with the pretense of pure love?

"Command, Sita, open your eyes wide, do not close them, do not resist, actively cooperate, only release them when you have difficulty breathing."

Since it was Gray's order, she would definitely do as he commanded.

But these commands...

Could it be that...?

With his mouth gagged, Sita, obeying the order, opened her eyes, unable to resist, and used her tongue to pry open his lips.

Sita got what she had always dreamed of.

Xita likes Lord Shadow.

Lord Shadow kissed Theta.

Lord Shadow, you like Theta!
