The Red Death Cultist had a flash of inspiration: "So, does that mean we should call the Sword Maiden 'Mother'?"
"Absolutely not!" Diya, the White Queen, the Black Butler, and Liss retorted in unison.
However, the White Queen had a point; their lives were long. Even if Ash truly saw her as family, people change. As long as Diya showed more of her mature and graceful side as an Empress, Ash would surely distinguish between the Empress and a daughter, eventually becoming her prince beneath her skirt.
Taking a step back, if Diya couldn't wait, this world had the Spirit Miracle and Hypnosis Miracle!
Though it couldn't permanently alter Ash's consciousness, using it occasionally to add a little flair, making Ash realize that Diya was not just family but also a lover, could significantly advance their relationship!
Diya made up her mind to first appeal with charm, then entice with princely allure, and finally threaten with a miracle! One of these methods would surely suit Ash!
