Becoming the Demon Lord: Taming the Demon Queen Begins

Never in a million years did Sylvia expect that, as a Holy Emperor-level powerhouse, she would lose a snowball fight to Timothy.

Just as she was trying her hardest to turn the tide...

Huff, huff.

Timothy took a few heavy breaths, looking utterly exhausted, and raised a small white flag.

"Babe, I give up. I give up."

He staggered forward, looking incredibly weak, and dropped all the snowballs in his hands, clearly showing no intention of continuing the fight.

"What's with the sudden weakness?"

Sylvia hadn't expected victory to come so quickly, but she was still a little excited. She blew some warm air onto her smooth, slightly reddened hands from the cold and smiled smugly.

Gone was her usual cool and aloof demeanor. Her smile now had a hint of playful innocence.

She tucked her hands into her sleeves, crossing her arms in front of her chest. The fluffy white hat with its pom-pom bobbed as she walked, making her look like a waddling penguin—adorably clumsy.

"Hmph, giving up already? Looks like you're not as tough as you thought."

She tilted her head slightly, a smug grin tugging at the corners of her mouth.

"Ah, what can I say? I'm nowhere near your level, babe. I just don't have the stamina to keep up," Timothy replied, his voice sounding weak.

He stumbled closer, as if even the few steps between them were a struggle.

"Didn't think I'd see the day," Sylvia chuckled, covering her mouth as she laughed. She had completely let her guard down.

This was definitely something she could tease Timothy about for a long time! Once they got back to Sky Sanctuary, she'd have a field day mocking him!

But just as she was basking in her small victory, Timothy suddenly scooped up a handful of snow and, with lightning speed, yanked open her collar.

And then…

He shoved all the snow right down her back.

"Ahhh!"

The bone-chilling cold spread instantly, and the snow quickly melted into icy water, trickling down Sylvia's smooth back.

Everywhere it touched sent shivers through her body.

"Ahhhhhh, so cold, so cold!"

By the time she tried to shake the snow out of her clothes, it had already melted completely, leaving nothing but the lingering cold.

Meanwhile, Timothy was already laughing hysterically.

He had faked being weak just to wait for this moment.

Back when he was a kid, this was his secret weapon in snowball fights with his classmates. He never thought he'd get to use it on a goddess.

And the look on her face…

"Timothy!"

Sylvia grabbed a handful of snow and started chasing after him, her voice filled with mock anger.

"Babe, no! An eye for an eye never ends well!"

Their footprints crisscrossed the snow-covered ground.

Under the falling snowflakes, the world was blanketed in white, peaceful and serene.

Except for the two figures chasing each other, full of life, bringing warmth to this little corner of the world.

Their laughter and playful shouts echoed through the air, until eventually, the mountains swallowed the sound.

In the end, Timothy's escape was cut short when Sylvia managed to shove a handful of snow down the back of his neck.

Sitting beside him, Sylvia couldn't help but giggle, having long forgotten her earlier desire for revenge.

She just felt warm inside, as if their childlike antics had melted away any lingering cold.

"Who would've thought the goddess could be so playful?" Timothy smiled, shaking his head in disbelief.

"I'm not a kid! I'm six hundred years old!"

"Six hundred years old and still having snowball fights?"

"I… Ugh, you started it!"

Sylvia tried to argue, but as she thought back to the snowball fight, her protests felt weak and unconvincing.

The temperature in this little world was still quite chilly.

A gust of cold wind swept by, and Sylvia couldn't help but feel a bit cold. She instinctively tried to tuck her hands into her sleeves, but they weren't long enough—she could only manage to get them halfway in.

Her hands, exposed to the biting wind, were starting to turn a little red from the cold. She opened the ends of her sleeves, as if trying to tuck her hands into the opposite sleeve for warmth.

But just then, Timothy suddenly grabbed her hands.

Sylvia blinked in surprise, a hint of confusion flashing across her face.

Before she could ask what he was doing, Timothy gently lifted her hands.

And then…

Whoosh.

He blew a warm breath over them, instantly chasing away the cold.

The warmth felt like a cozy furnace in the midst of the freezing wind, and it was incredibly soothing.

Comfortable as it was, Sylvia's face immediately flushed a deep red.

"W-What are you doing?!"

"Warming your hands, of course," Timothy replied with a smile.

Sure, it was warm, but this position was way too embarrassing!

Sylvia wasn't buying his excuse and tried to pull her hands back.

But another gust of cold wind blew through, and she hesitated.

In this little world, as cold as a winter's day, the warmth was hard to resist.

Before she knew it, Sylvia had completely given up on pulling her hands away. Her face was still flushed, but she quietly enjoyed the comforting warmth, letting herself sink into the moment.

"Oh, by the way, babe, you can see the outside world from here," Timothy said suddenly, raising his hand toward the misty void.

Since he controlled this small world, he could easily connect it to the outside world of Elant. Stay connected through empire

With a wave of his hand, a rift in space opened, revealing a view of the Elant continent.

At that moment, the scene outside was of the Blooming Hall, where the Sea Serpent girls were still performing their sorrowful songs and dances, expressing their melancholy.

Snow was falling heavily from the sky, the ground was blanketed in white, and the performance before them now seemed oddly captivating.

Sylvia couldn't help but lean softly against Timothy, watching the dance in the Blooming Hall.

Somehow, the song and dance seemed much more beautiful than before.

The two of them sat close together, silently enjoying the warmth they shared, perfectly in sync without needing to say a word.

However, some of the Sea Serpent girls in the Blooming Hall had already noticed the rift in space on the second floor.

At first, they were curious about what lay beyond the snowy portal.

But when they caught a glimpse of the scene inside—Timothy blowing warm air onto Sylvia's hands, the two of them sitting shoulder to shoulder on a snowy mountain—the Sea Serpent girls felt like they had just taken a massive emotional hit.

And it was a critical hit at that!

They had thought the couple had left the Blooming Hall, but never in their wildest dreams did they imagine that Timothy and Sylvia had just found a better spot to flaunt their affection.

The worst part? Every single Sea Serpent girl could see it clearly. It was just too much!

In an instant, many of the Sea Serpent girls—some of whom had been single for years, even decades—felt utterly crushed. It was as if their hearts had been shattered into a million pieces, and they were on the verge of tears.

They had seen public displays of affection before, but this… this was on a whole new level! Never in their lives had they witnessed anything so over-the-top!
