Becoming the Demon Lord: Taming the Demon Queen Begins

"Even though it's a bit of a pain, I really want to go check it out."

"I feel the same, even if it means getting our hearts broken like lovestruck puppies. Who knows, we might even bump into some hotties there."

"But, Goddess Sylvia probably doesn't know about the Courtship Revelry Festival, right?"

"Of course not, and we absolutely can't let her find out. Otherwise, I'm afraid..."

"I know, I know. After all, Goddess Sylvia has been single for over six hundred years. She probably can't stand such scenes..."

"Shh, keep it down. If Goddess Sylvia hears you, you're done for."

The two female disciples looked around mysteriously, making sure no one was around, before excitedly planning to leave the Sky Sanctuary under the guise of completing a mission.

But what they didn't know was that Timothy had heard everything loud and clear.

"There's a great chance to gain some mystical powers, and I can even sneak in a date with my wife. How could I pass up such a perfect opportunity!"

Timothy immediately headed to the Sky Sanctuary.

In the past, the Sky Sanctuary was always guarded by strong sentinels on both sides.

However, since his arrival, these guards had been stationed far away from the main hall.

In the vast Sky Sanctuary, shrouded in mist and cold air, only Sylvia sat aloof on her throne.

But as Timothy walked in, Sylvia's frosty demeanor quickly and subtly softened.

"Hey, babe."

"Didn't you miss me~?"

Instantly, Sylvia's effort to maintain her cool facade crumbled.

"Hehe, I knew you missed me."

Noticing Sylvia's evasive gaze, Timothy chuckled and moved closer.

"Hmph, as if I'd waste my time missing you."

This time, Sylvia didn't even try to hide the slight smile tugging at her lips.

Seeing that smile, Timothy knew he was right.

So, he pretended to be sad: "Babe, didn't you just praise me yesterday for keeping my composure around Holy Maiden Aeliana? To think I've been away this long and you didn't miss me at all, that really hurts.

My heart aches so much, I couldn't even sleep last night!"

"No, that's not what I meant, I mean..." Noticing Timothy's pained expression, Sylvia suddenly seemed flustered, wondering if she had been too harsh.

Her face showed a hint of panic as she hurried to explain.

"Don't overthink it, it's not that I didn't miss you, it's just that..."

But before she could finish, she looked up and noticed Timothy barely holding back a laugh.

"You, you dared to trick me!"

Recalling her own embarrassing reaction, Sylvia was so mortified she wished she could vanish into thin air.

"Don't run, you tricked me, and today you owe me an explanation!"

"Ha, babe, don't be mad, I was just joking, I didn't mean to tease you!"

"I don't care!"

"Ah, murder! The goddess is murdering her own husband!"

Inside the hall, two figures chased each other swiftly, one after the other.

Timothy laughed so hard he could barely catch his breath, sprinting around the pillars of the hall.

Unfortunately, his agile sprinting couldn't escape Sylvia's pursuit.

Soon, Timothy was caught and dragged behind a screen.

Still laughing, Timothy looked at Sylvia raising her hand and asked, "Babe, I recognize that move. Are you going to spank me? No worries, your husband can take a beating, go ahead and hit hard."

"You!" Sylvia's hand paused mid-air.

She had indeed spanked Holy Maiden Aeliana and Zephyra more than a few times, and not through their clothes.

But a man's... behind...

"Hmph, I'll let it slide this time. I'll spare you just this once." Sylvia bit her teeth and finally withdrew her hand.

"You really can't bear to hit me, can you?" Timothy teased, moving closer with a grin.

"It's not that I can't bear to hit you!"

Sylvia's voice softened, and she huffed proudly, "The only reason I'm sparing you this time is because you did perform quite well in the Forbidden Lands. And your contributions to the submission of the Undead Sanctuary were significant. So, I just..."

"Since that's the case, babe, can you agree to one thing for me?" Timothy seized the moment, leaning in closer.

"What is it?"

Noticing Timothy's face drawing near, with a sly smile at the corner of his mouth, Sylvia suddenly blushed, crossing her arms over her chest, "That thing is absolutely out of the question!"

"Wow, babe, your mind right now..."

Timothy had only recently noticed.

Though Goddess Sylvia appears serene and distant, she's not just familiar with the art of seduction—her thoughts have recently been quite... provocative.

"I haven't even said anything yet, what wild steps has your brilliant mind taken!"

"Cough, what I meant was, I was thinking we could go together to the Courtship Revelry Festival hosted by the Themyscira Sect." Timothy cleared his throat before continuing.

"Huh? Oh... you meant that."

Sylvia paused for a moment.

Timothy: "What did you think I was talking about just now?"

"Nothing, I wasn't thinking anything!"

Seemingly trying to cover up, Sylvia responded louder than necessary.

However, the lingering blush on her temples betrayed her.

Timothy smiled but didn't call her out.

After a long pause and a few deep breaths, Sylvia finally regained her composure.

She asked curiously, "Courtship Revelry Festival? What's that? Why haven't I heard of it before?"

Timothy: "Ah, the young folks these days come up with all sorts of ideas. I only just found out about it myself. It's officially called a 'sweetness festival,' but I guess it's more like a Heartbreakers' Tournament."

"And you still want to go?"

Timothy smirked subtly: "What's the big deal? After all, I'm not single. Honey, do you really think anyone could outdo us in PDA?"

"..."

Imagining the Courtship Revelry Festival, Sylvia pictured a grand scene filled with couples.

Every time she and Timothy had a date, they had to be extremely cautious, mindful of the surrounding eyes.

But there, it seemed she could blend in completely without feeling out of place.

More importantly...

Sylvia finally realized.

Timothy's roundabout way of inviting her to the festival was essentially asking her out on a date!

A date...

"I'm not sure what this 'sweetness festival' is all about, but if you really want to go, I might consider going with you." Sylvia murmured softly, pretending to be somewhat reluctant.

"Then it's settled, babe. Don't worry, when it comes to PDA, I don't believe we can be outdone by anyone!" Timothy immediately laughed.

It seems, as tsundere as the goddess might be, she's always been straightforward in her own way!
