Becoming the Demon Lord: Taming the Demon Queen Begins

"What... are you going to say?"

Sylvia, caught off guard, froze for a moment.

Noticing the serious look on Timothy's face, she quickly sensed that something was different—something important.

She had never seen Timothy this serious before.

Just a moment ago, everything seemed fine. Why did Timothy suddenly change so much?

As she gazed into his eyes, Sylvia felt like she was starting to understand.

Ever since that love letter, from their shy beginnings to openly showing affection, their relationship had grown. From holding hands, to kissing, to falling asleep in each other's arms—this sweet romance, which Sylvia had publicly announced, had caused quite a stir. Many people were envious of their love.

But still... there was something that hadn't been completed.

"Would such a clever goddess really not know what I'm about to say?"

A soft chuckle reached her ears.

Sylvia looked up, and her eyes met Timothy's.

That one glance made her heart skip a beat.

Even with her usual calm demeanor, Sylvia found it hard to steady the fluttering in her chest.

"What is it that you want to say...?"

At that moment, Timothy took a step closer.

As his foot touched the ground, it was like a ripple spreading across a still pond. The space around them began to shift, and in an instant, everything turned to darkness.

The villagers who had been nearby vanished without a trace. The entire space was now an endless void, so dark that even light seemed unable to exist.

In the pitch-black, Sylvia couldn't even see Timothy anymore. She could only feel the faint warmth radiating from him.

Just as she was starting to feel disoriented, she noticed something.

In the vast darkness, far, far away, a tiny light flickered. It was so distant and small, like a grain of rice, but it shone brightly, as if it were the source of everything.

Though small, it was dazzling, refusing to be swallowed by the surrounding void.

Sylvia's gaze was drawn to it, and without thinking, she reached out, as if trying to grasp that tiny light.

And then, another light appeared near the first.

The second light was just as small, barely noticeable against the overwhelming darkness.

But then came a third, a fourth, a fifth, a sixth, a seventh...

In the deep, endless void, more and more lights began to flicker.

Even though each light was tiny, too weak to challenge the darkness on its own, they kept appearing.

Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands!

Countless lights began to shine, and their combined glow grew stronger and stronger, until it became a brilliant, radiant display.

The endless darkness was finally illuminated!

When Sylvia looked again, the scene before her had completely changed. Continue reading on My Virtual Library Empire

The countless tiny lights were now stars, forming a shimmering silver river that flowed quietly through the sky.

With the darkness dispelled, the landscape around them was revealed.

It was... an endless expanse of planets!

Some planets were covered in frost and snow, locked in eternal winter. Others were scorched by fire, with molten lava flowing across their surfaces. Some were vast oceans, stretching as far as the eye could see. And others were filled with blooming peach blossoms, so beautiful it was almost intoxicating.

All these planets now appeared before her, countless and dazzling, almost overwhelming in their beauty.

This place, the "Proposal Grounds of the Multiverse," was where Timothy could choose any planet as the setting for his proposal.

But Timothy didn't choose any of them.

Instead, he chose the Proposal Grounds themselves.

An entire, boundless universe!

[The universe itself...?]

Even the system let out a soft sigh at that moment.

Timothy's choice was far beyond anything it had anticipated.

Of course, only someone bold enough to break the rules could stand at the very center of this vast universe.

A shooting star streaked across the sky, trailing a silver tail, burning brightly as it expended the last of its energy in a final, brilliant display.

Though beautiful and radiant, in the endless expanse of the universe, it was nothing more than a fleeting moment, leaving no trace behind.

In a cosmos of three thousand worlds and countless living beings, no matter how grand or powerful, nothing could leave a lasting mark in the face of billions of years.

But...

Though the body may perish, true love endures.

There is a kind of emotion that doesn't fade with time.

Even as the years pass and all traces are erased, this eternal feeling remains.

Because it's a bond that exists only between two people—a secret that belongs solely to them.

That feeling is...

"It's so beautiful!"

Sylvia's clear eyes gazed at the countless stars, and the scene before her made her eyes shimmer like rippling autumn waters, reflecting the starlight.

Though she had traveled across the entire continent of Elant and seen countless breathtaking landscapes, she had never witnessed anything like this.

This scene was so stunning, it made her want to empty her mind and lose herself in its beauty.

But what made it even more remarkable was that every star, every falling meteor, was brimming with life.

The sight before her wasn't some illusion—it was all real!

"This world... what is it?"

Even as a Holy Emperor-level warrior, Sylvia found it hard to believe what she was seeing.

"Isn't romance enough?"

Timothy didn't answer her question directly. He just smiled.

Countless stars, an endless, dazzling expanse of the cosmos.

The starry sky was so breathtaking, it was almost overwhelming.

But to Timothy, it was as if none of it existed.

Because in his eyes, there was only one person.

Amid the brilliant stars, their eyes met.

The starlight reflected in Sylvia's eyes, making them sparkle like the stars themselves.

From the moment she arrived in this world with Timothy, she had sensed what was coming.

Even though she knew what Timothy was about to do, she still couldn't stop the fluttering in her heart. Her fingers curled slightly in anticipation.

Nervous, yet eagerly waiting for those words.

The words she had imagined so many times, but had never heard.

"Goddess... no, my love, will you marry me?"

A shooting star passed by, the stars continued their dance.

In the vastness of the universe, Timothy smiled softly and finally spoke the words.
