"Lord Clementine, why are you leaving in such a hurry? I don't have enough MP to teleport to other towns, so why can't I rest here for a day?" Belu was still holding the blunt knife, and she was quite dissatisfied.
He caught up with Yi Li who had turned around and left.
"Don't you see that people don't welcome us? Haha, aren't they humans essentially the same as those orcs? In comparison, I think those upright orcs are cuter. Come on, stop complaining.
." Yi Li gave the Dragon Queen a meaningful look, and it was obvious that these words were meant for her.
Shit...this is your last chance to hug Nazarick's lap. It depends on whether you can wake up.
After hearing what Yi Li said, Drautilon's expression turned bad instantly. No! We can't just let her go! We can't let her go no matter what!
Although I still have doubts about her identity, the current state of the Dragon Kingdom cannot withstand the invasion of the second "Beast Kingdom", not to mention... they may be more difficult to deal with than the Beast Kingdom.
"Please wait a moment! Lord Clementine!" The Dragon Queen shouted anxiously, Oh! Oh! Even the honorific came out. It seems that the Dragon Queen is not stupid, and she did not waste her time giving her so much.
What a hint. If you can't understand this, then you can't be a king. Of course... that big cat is an exception.
The soldiers and adventurers looked at their queen in disbelief. Why should they save this unreasonable guy? After all, they didn't know Yili's identity. They only knew that this guy was an adventurer that their queen paid for.
That’s all.
"Does Her Majesty the Queen have any other advice?" Yili stopped and did not look back. In fact, Yili now had a look of success.
"Lord Clementine, please forgive the rudeness of my subordinates. Letting the benefactor who saved my country leave like this will damage the face of the Dragon Kingdom, so...Lord Clementine, please give me an apology.
I have the opportunity to thank you." The Dragon Queen said to Yi Li respectfully, and the maid who followed the Dragon Queen also bowed her head to Yi Li respectfully like her own queen.
Humph! The plan worked... Yili was so dissatisfied, just like this... Under the extremely incomprehensible eyes of the guards and adventurers, Yili turned back and walked into the city.
Next is the time to celebrate. After all, those in the city don't know what just happened outside the city. They only know that the orc troops have retreated and will not come back in a short time. The Dragon Kingdom has won the battle.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The people shouted the name of the Dragon Queen and started to celebrate spontaneously. Could this be regarded as a disguised form of gaining popularity for the Dragon Queen?
Well! Let the people celebrate well. After all, after receiving the news that the first three cities were captured, the people were also very nervous and afraid that it would be their turn next. Now that the crisis has been resolved, it is indeed
It's worth celebrating.
However, facing this battle, the Dragon Queen looked very embarrassed, with a confused expression on her face, and simply waved to the people who shouted her name.
Drautilon is now very conflicted in her heart. The person who saves her country is not the Theocracy, but the Sorcerous Kingdom of Ainz Ooal Gown who did not know that it has appeared, and the person who comes is the princess of this inexplicable country.
.
What's more important is that the princess was immediately disappointed with the country after saving it, and she also made it clear that the orcs, who were supposed to be the evil side, were more "cute" than humans. In addition, the princess had previously expressed her disapproval of the country.
The attitude of the orc king and general was obviously sending a very bad signal.
She...or the country she represents, is more inclined to the side of the orcs! Drautilon has noticed a very key detail. In all the previous conversations, when the princess mentioned the human side, she
It's saying, you humans!
In this way, however, what she and her entourage were talking about just now were them humans. Even if it was said to draw a clear line, this wording felt inappropriate.
However, thinking about it carefully, she said before going into battle that the reason why the Sorcerous Kingdom of Ainz Ooal Gown extended a helping hand to her was because of ideals and friendship.
This shows that... it is very likely that the Sorcerer Kingdom of Ainz Ooal Gown is also a country where multiple races coexist like the Dragon Kingdom. Before the princess revealed her identity, she made it clear that she would not be allowed to be the one to purge her own people.
That's not in line with her father's ideals.
From this point, it can be basically confirmed, but what the princess just said was that they are human beings... This means that maybe... the princess and her followers are not even human beings... but different races!
This can explain why she has such strong fighting power, and also why she dealt with the Lion King like this. It turns out that she is not a god, but a different race!
But there is something even more strange and contradictory, which is what Aunt Kangna said before, saying that the princess may be one of the six pillar gods, but the six pillar gods are all human beings, right?
Hmm... Put it this way, what Aunt Kangna said is really just conjecture!
No... now is not the time to think about this! The top priority now is to stabilize the princess and find out the origins of the Sorcerous Kingdom of Ainz Ooal Gown! It was really the biggest mistake to ignore that declaration before! Otherwise, it would not happen now
So passive!
Drautilon glanced guiltily at Clementine, who was walking side by side with him, and saw that she was looking around very casually. She would also nod politely when she met the eyes of the happy crowd.
Smile back.
And she also noticed that the eyepatch that had been moved up earlier was also moved back to its original position, covering her left eye. It seemed that her superpower could not be used for a long time.
Otherwise, my unintentional apology just now will definitely be exposed! The real magic eye... is a very tricky power. You must be extremely careful about her power when you come into contact with her next!
After a while, Drautilon took Clementine to his palace in Norman City to talk about the palace... In fact, it is just the best hotel in Norman City. How can the Dragon Kingdom's finances have spare money to build hotels in other cities?
What a palace, I just hope this princess doesn’t dislike it!
"I'm sorry, Lady Clementine, we can only prepare a place like this for you to rest." Drautilon said to Clementine in a low voice.
"It's okay, isn't this pretty good? I don't know how many times better than the place I live in the Slaine Theocracy." Clementine didn't pay much attention to it, but fortunately... Drautilon breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hmm...it's better than my room." Clementine's attendant said, still holding the blunt knife that he had been ordered to find in his arms.
"Belu, why are you still holding a knife?" Clementine glanced at her and asked in confusion.
"Didn't you ask me to find it, Master Clementine? You didn't tell me where to put it." The attendant looked aggrieved.
"Okay! Send it back where you got it. If you borrowed it, remember to thank them. By the way, buy me some delicious fruit on the way back." Clementine said and tossed it away.
I gave her a gold coin to buy fruit... There was obviously a large plate of fruit in the hotel room.
"Oh! I'll go right away!" However, the entourage didn't seem to notice the fruits on the table at all, or maybe he had noticed but didn't realize anything was wrong, so he ran out. This was obviously a deliberate move.
Her excuse?
After the follower ran out, Clementine sighed and said slowly.
"That child was sent by the Silian Theocracy to monitor me."
"Ah??" Drotilon was a little confused. What did you say?
"Well! There are some reasons for this, but please rest assured, Her Majesty the Queen, I am not from the Slian Theocracy." Clementine waved her hand, as if she didn't want to say the reason.
When she came here before, she came with a souvenir from the Theocratic Bishop. It was indeed genuine and not a counterfeit. Now she said that the entourage who ran out was sent by the Silian Theocracy to monitor her and had nothing to do with her...
The reason for this is hard to imagine.
"Let's not mention this matter. While the child is away, let's talk about business first, Her Majesty the Queen." Clementine said.
"..." Drautilon nodded and said it was business, but there were a lot of things in front of her, so which one was the business she was talking about.
"Then as mentioned before, Her Majesty the Queen must be able to guess the reasons, ideals and friendship for why I came uninvited. The ideals of the Sorcerous Kingdom of Ainz Ooal Gown are consistent with your Dragon Kingdom, right?
"Clementine said.
"At least... they are consistent in the coexistence of races." Drautilon replied, this was the only consensus he could think of.
"Haha! Her Majesty the Queen is quite smart. It can be considered consistent...or inconsistent." Clementine said something very strange.
"Lord Clementine...what do you mean?" Drautilon didn't understand.
"Let me ask you, does the coexistence of races in your Dragon Kingdom include orcs?" Clementine asked.
"..." Drautilon did not answer. This question no longer needed to be answered.
"The Sorcerer Kingdom of Ainz Ooal Gown is included. No matter what race it is, as long as it shows a friendly and submissive attitude towards us, we will accept it," Clementine said.
"Let...let my people coexist with those cannibal aliens, I...I can't do it." Drautilon noticed that her voice was shaking, and she was afraid.
Of course, it's not the concept of coexistence that Clementine said she was afraid of, but another word she used in her words just now, submission...
Yes, this may be the real purpose of the Sorcerous Kingdom of Ainz Ooal Gown! They want the Dragon Kingdom to obey them and surrender at their feet.
