"Our country was originally a warrior nation that was unified after a series of conflicts between various beast races. Therefore, for better or worse, there was a culture that valued "power"... and it seems that this culture was what attracted the revolt. One day, a big shot who ruled our country's underworld - the "Demon God" Sigma - united the opposing criminal organizations and rose up in revolt. He decided that the country should be ruled by true strong people who had made a living by sipping dirt, not lazy royalty or aristocrats who were greedy for vested interests. Those who fall into the underworld are often dissatisfied with the system, and the momentum for terrorism quickly grew."
Queen Ayla continued with a look of sadness on her young face.
"Of course, since the enemy claims to be "power", we will crush them head-on. However, those "Strong King Faction" were originally a group of criminal organizations that had been operating cunningly behind the scenes of the country. They are used to guerrilla warfare. When they attacked the people of various places at the same time, we were forced to go on the defensive...The most troublesome is their leader, the demon god Sigma. His strength is almost equal to that of our country's strongest warrior, Irina, the leader of the Beast Knights."
"picture...!?"
The boss of a terrorist organization is on par with Irina, the leader of the Beast Knights, who seemed even stronger than Kokoro?!
Queen Ayla continues, as we are surprised at the information we couldn't get at the guild.
"Plus, Sigma usually uses the organizational power of his subordinates to cleverly hide himself. Since we don't know when he'll come to kill the entire royal family, it would have been difficult to entrust the annihilation of the terrorist organization to the Irina Knights, who are guarding the royal family."
The threat of the enemy is beyond imagination, leaving me speechless.
It's certainly no surprise that the country is struggling.
"And the most troublesome thing is their financial strength. As was the case with the recent terrorist attack using the
"...! That's..."
If you listen to that much, you'll understand what Queen Ayla wants to say.
When it comes to backing for civil war organizations, a neighboring country planning an invasion is the most common.
And now, speaking of the country that is plotting to invade the Fang King Federation...
"Yes. The Holy Kingdom of Romalia, the headquarters of the church."
Queen Ayla spoke the name of that country, echoing my thoughts.
The name of the country that Sister Claire declared to be "corrupt" and that had actually sent assassins to try to kill Alicia.
"In other words, this current turmoil is not just a civil war, but a war that has begun with the country caught between the Strong King Faction and the Church. If we launch an all-out attack on the Strong King Faction, they may target the country when it is exhausted. On the other hand, if we move cautiously, our national power will be weakened and the country will be destroyed either way. Therefore, even though I knew it was a foolish plan, I had no choice but to take a gamble and use my own body to destroy the core of the Strong King Faction. However--it was at such a time when I was cornered that you appeared with this letter."
Queen Ayla then picked up a letter.
Queen Ayla looked down at us while holding up the letter of introduction written by Lord Olivia of Seadoor.
"Olivia's letter didn't mention your true identities, likely to prevent information leaks, but she assured us that you would definitely be of great help. I knew you were no ordinary people the moment you fought on equal terms with our country's strongest warrior… but let me ask again. Who exactly are you?"
Queen Ayla asks, looking at the eyes of a king who shoulders the fate of the country.
Then, realizing that this audience had finally reached its real stage, I took a step back.
Instead, Sister Claire stepped forward, her expression so serious it was hard to believe she had been spouting religious fervor just a moment ago.
"It's nice to meet you, Queen Ayla. I am Claire Goldmary. Also known as Elisabeth Prometheus Romalia. I am the one known as the
"What?!"
Queen Ayla and Captain Irina of the Beast Knights widened their eyes upon hearing Sister Claire's real name.
Then Sister Claire, the leader of the church, explained the reason for their visit.
He said he had come to cooperate with this country in order to destroy the corrupt church.
Alicia and I watched the whole thing with bated breath.
It's hard to believe from her friendly demeanor, but I heard that Queen Ayla is known for being a stubborn and difficult character who has broken off many negotiations in the past.
Furthermore, this time, it seems that no prophecy had been received to make people believe in Sister Claire's true identity, so there was nothing to prove her identity.
Tension ran high as to whether the stubborn Queen, who was currently suffering at the hands of a terrorist organization supported by the Church, would easily believe the story of Sister Claire, who claimed to be the supreme leader of the Church.
However,
"I see... so the church really was that corrupt. I am deeply saddened. And I am truly grateful that you chose this country as your ally to break through this situation."
Oh, what's that?
At first he looked like he couldn't believe it, but then he suddenly believed me.
What does that mean? We were taken aback, and then,
"Hmm, I understand about Lady Claire. But what about Lady Elio, who fought against Captain Irina of the Beast Knights? The letter says that he even bestowed upon her the Thirteen Holy Swords that year and reformed her... what does this mean?"
"Eh, is it me?"
I was confused as Queen Ayla's interest suddenly shifted to me.
But since I was being asked by a potential ally, I had no choice but to answer, so I tried to give a brief explanation of my Gift, as I usually do.
But then it happened.
"Lord Elio, Lord Elio."
"Eh? What is it, Claire?"
Sister Claire tugs on the hem of her skirt and she turns around.
Then Claire suddenly said something unbelievable.
"It just occurred to me. I think it would be best to tell this person everything from the beginning. Everything about Elio-sama's crazy 'Gift' and his human rights-violating dick skills."
"picture!?"
Hearing that whisper in my ear, my shoulders jumped up in surprise.
By everything... you mean everything?!
His penis can change shape, he's so friendly that he even enslaves the Holy Knight, and he can drag anyone into a room where they can't get out unless they have sex!?
As I was confused, Sister Claire nodded and said, "Yes." Huh!?
Well, I suppose if he were to disclose all this information, he'd be thrown in prison in an instant! But now that you mention it, if he was going to form an alliance with the royal family, disclosing all the information properly was the minimum level of sincerity.
Claire's predictions have never been wrong so far... I desperately tried to convince myself, and then I said, "Umm, I want you to calm down and listen..." as I told him about myself in the sacred audience chamber.
Something about penis deformation and friendly servitude towards the queen of a country.
And so, as I finished explaining everything next to Alicia, who was sweating from the incredibly embarrassing play and couldn't hide her excitement, "...Elio, you're so embarrassed, so cute..."
"...! Is this boy insane...!?"
Naturally, the Beast Knight Commander Irina let out a stunned voice.
Queen Ayla was stunned for a moment, but then the next moment,
"Bu... Buwahahahahahahahaha!"
Queen Ayla's laughter echoed throughout the throne room.
"You are the perverted gift rumored to have been born in that empire, a 'Succubus'!? You were so unbearable that you were chased out of the country, partly out of compassion!? And now you've grown to the point where you can fight on equal terms with Irina, and now you've come to our country!?"
Y-You know it...?!
My existence is becoming a rumor that transcends countries!?
This strange turn of events has me blushing and trembling in excitement in so many ways.
But the next moment.
"...Okay, I understand! I trusted you from the start when you helped me, but... since you are a strong and noble boy like you, I would rather bow my head and ask you! I want you to officially form an alliance with my country in order to oppose the corrupt church!"
"picture!?"
Eh, wait, I'm happy about the alliance, but with the current situation, how can you trust us?
All I've been saying are crazy things like about penises and being friendly and being subservient, am I?!
We were taken aback again by how easily Queen Ayla trusted us, contrary to the rumors.
