Needless to say, Qingyue rejected Lucifer's offer as politely as she could.
Lucifer was not disheartened. She expected this and shook her head. "As loyal as ever."
Lilith chuckled. "What else did you expect? If you ask them, they won't come. They have to be ordered."
Lucifer raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Then can you order one? If I remember correctly, your son was promising me a maid from your clan."
"He did?" Lilith was surprised.
"Yes. Why would I lie?" Lucifer answered flatly.
Lilith smiled and took a sip of tea. "Well, if he promised you, then as his mother, it's my duty to go along with his wishes."
"Hehe," Lucifer rubbed her hands. "Fulfil it quickly then. I'm waiting."
Agalea squinted her eyes at Lucifer and Mayzin stared at her too.
"Aren't you being too greedy?" Agalea asked. "What are you even giving to sis in return for it?"
"Why would I give something in return?" Lucifer asked, surprised.
"It's only natural for it to be an equivalent exchange," said Mayzin.
"Hoh…" Lucifer covered her face. "This was never an equivalent exchange. I promised nothing to Lith yet he agreed with sending a maid my way."
"Wow…"
"Wow…"
"My baby got scammed…" Lilith's gentle face turned into a worried one.
Lucifer pointed her nose at the sky, proud of whatever she did. "I'm built different."
"Greedy. Prideful. Envious." Mayzin said three words and accurately described Lucifer.
"Duh. They don't call me the Demon Queen for nothing. Anyway, where's my promised maid, Lilith-chan?~" Lucifer said in a happy tone.
Lilith put her teacup down and shook her head. Her baby definitely needs some lessons on Lucifer so that he understands how to properly handle her.
Nothing could be done now though. A promise had to be kept, and in any case, Lucifer was officially affiliated to the Royal Clan, whether through being Lith's lover or Lilith's sister.
Lilith turned to look at Qingyue and asked, "Who's free among you guys?"
Qingyue thought about it and answered in a professional neutral tone, "If it's someone to be sent to Lady Lucifer, then only one is fit for the job, Madam."
"Oh? Who?" Lilith asked. She did not mind Qingyue answering in a different way.
At her question, the odd one among the maids stepped in front of Lilith.
"That should be me, Madam," the pink-haired Supreme Rank Fairy Queen, Bella, answered in a soft tone while bowing.
"Hm? But aren't you busy managing your race, Bella?" Lilith asked.
Bella nodded. "I am, but that's the only thing I'm doing currently. I also do not have as many personal tasks as the rest."
Her statement was an indirect one, but Lilith got the meaning.
Currently, on the rooftop, there were four maids: Bella, Luna, Qingyue, and Freya.
Three of them shared a common thing while it was Bella who did not.
The common thing was that Luna, Qingyue, and Freya were personal maids while Bella was not.
Bella used to serve Lilith, but then she was gone out on business for quite some years and got replaced by Luna, then eventually by Qingyue after Lith's birth.
She was also the perfect person for this job because she did not handle any matters related to the Vampire Society or administration as a whole.
Her job was to look after her three masters and keep an eye out on the world, then inform the Royal Servants of the changes.
She could do the latter job from anywhere. As for the former, those three already had personal maids so it would not be too big of a problem. Plus, there were quite a lot of maids in the castle already and the Prince even had a few personal ones of his own.
Things were all sorted in this regard and hence, Bella was the right one for this job.
Lilith nodded lightly. "Very well. Then from today onwards, you shall serve Lucifer."
Bella bowed. Then turned to Lucifer and bowed again while having her palm on her chest. "This humble Fairy shall be in your care from here on and serve you to the best of her abilities, Lady Lucifer."
"Oh my…" Lucifer facepalmed and was almost in tears. "Such obedience and goodwill… I'm touched."
Lilith chuckled softly. "That's just a formal statement. It won't be said again. Also, Bella is a Supreme Rank and not in an official contract or anything with you. She can whoop your ass if I ask her."
Agalea and Mayzin giggled hearing that while the maids covered their smiles with their palms.
Lucifer scoffed. "If you order such a thing, I'll personally come here and spank your cheeks."
"Ahem. You've gotten yours turned red twice, Lucifer." Mayzin gave a gentle reminder.
"Twice due to me too." Agalea coughed lightly and reminded as well.
"…" Lucifer's eyes twitched. "You two lil bitches… I'll take my revenge one day. And it'll be served really cold."
Mayzin yawned. "There's a reason you're saying one day and not today or tomorrow, Lucifer. That day is never coming, we all know it."
The ladies giggled while a vein popped on Lucifer's forehead.
"How about I give you a demonstration of my revenge, Maymay?"
Mayzin took the plate of half-eaten pastry and forked the sweetened goodness. She turned to Lucifer and taking a bite, said, "If you're horny, you just got a new maid. Do it with her. Leave me alone."
Lucifer's lips twitched. "Bitch, I am not looking to fuck you. Why do you always think I want to rub onto your lips?"
"Because you're the one harassing us every time we meet." This time Agalea was the one who said it.
"Me? Harass?" Lucifer was shocked! When did she, a mighty Queen, do such a thing!?
"Okay, not harass." Agalea replied.
"That's right—"
"You assault us. Sexually." Agalea corrected.
"…"
Mayzin nodded her head. "If you weren't together with Lith, I'm sure you would be forcing me into some scissoring."
Lilith took a sip of tea and said, "May, if I'm not wrong, you were the one who told Lucifer she can come to you anytime."
"Oh yeah, that's right! You tell 'em sis!" Lucifer suddenly fired up, knowing she wasn't the culprit anymore.
Agalea did a light nod and said, "I remember May saying something like that too."
Mayzin rolled her eyes. "It was out of goodwill. If everyone had rejected her that day, she would be making a big fuss. It was all to have less drama."
"Oh." Agalea got enlightened.
"Fair enough." Lilith said and chuckled softly.
Lucifer wanted to retort, but did not have a good comeback.
She was thoroughly annoyed by Mayzin right now and wanted to do nothing but slap her fair dragon cheeks into swelled up red peaches!
"Have some tea, Lady Lucifer." Bella chimed in this time and offered.
She was now Lucifer's maid and looking after her master was her job. Since the lady was too annoyed and angry, a good cup of cool cloudy tea was all she needed.
Tea wasn't usually hot and even if they were, they provided the complete opposite sensation after drinking.
Cloudy tea was a type of tea leaf grown on clouds, then harvested, dried and fermented for consumption. It was extremely rare and not found in this world.
It came into this world after it got unsealed. Lucifer thus may not have had it yet.
Lucifer did not reject Bella's offer and took up the teacup.
She did not say anything to her sisters anymore and took a sip of the tea.
A cool sensation spread throughout her body and mind, making her let out a soft moan.
"Mhm… So good…"
Her moan caught Agalea and Mayzin's eyes, making them squint and stare at her.
If this pervert moaned like that after eating or drinking something, then it meant,
The food was absolutely amazing!
No matter how spiteful Lucifer was, her talent at finding and recognizing good food was otherworldly.
While Agalea and Mayzin stared at her, Lilith noticed their reaction and smiled softly.
She turned to Bella and said, "Bella, give them a cup too."
Bella nodded and gave them a cup. They eventually let out a similar moan like Lucifer and asked about this tea to Lilith.
Their conversation however was cut short as on the broadcast, Lith and Dennis got kidnapped.
Putting the teacup down, Lucifer said with knitted brows, "How are these boys falling into problems left and right?"
"They are being watched by deities," said Lilith. "It was inevitable from the start."
"But they're not even getting a chance to fight back."
"Don't worry, they will. Soon." Lilith assured.
Mayzin took a sip of her tea and putting the cup down, said with a calm gaze, "If I'm not wrong, many may have realized their talents by now due to their display of cooking skills and wits. Half of the deities now would stand against them and half with them."
"Sadly, they seem to have mingled up with the ones who stand against them." Agalea said with a sigh.
Lucifer scrunched her nose. "It's a pity. I hope those shitty deities do something about this and not simply watch."
Lilith, with a poker face, said, "They should be moving now."
"What?"
"Just watch…"
