Chapter 1012 – Episode 925 – A Light Bet! (2)
“Bet…? What is that all of a sudden…?”
Estonia asked slightly hesitantly, perhaps sensing something suspicious.
Looking at Lizbeth running around her stage. I shrugged my shoulders as if it was no big deal.
“No, you are skilled enough to say that, right? “It’s somehow interesting.”
Although they call it a kingdom. In fact, Reinhardt’s Kingdom is closer to an empire than a kingdom.
Poor means of transportation and communication. Because of these things, each city has its lord as king.
As dozens of small countries are grouped together, the king should also be viewed not as a simple monarch, but as an emperor with dozens of monarchs.
However, the reason Reinhardt Kingdom is called a kingdom is that the title of the ruling class has never changed.
Unlike Earth, where the governance structure has changed several times and the terms have been organized. This is because Essentia has been that way ever since the king was established as the representative of humans.
In other words, there was no need to create the word emperor. Why, doesn’t the concept of an emperor come about only when there is someone who pretends to be a king or a monarch?
After entrusting the role of representative of humans to the ancestors of the current royal family thousands of years ago, they probably just followed suit. The reason that the structure was able to last for thousands of years is probably because there was only good energy, Eser, in the world…
Although the influx of Tesser in recent hundreds of years has awakened the greed of humans… Even so, changing the form of a kingdom that has existed for thousands of years is somewhat burdensome for timid inferior species.
No, it’s not that it’s burdensome. You probably can’t even imagine that there could be a form of country other than a kingdom.
But in that situation. What kind of female is Estoria, the queen of the kingdom?
Considering that the beast kingdom and demon kingdom are operated in a form that is somewhat ambiguous to call a country, wouldn’t it be safe to say that Estonia is the most noble female in Essentia?
She is the queen of a huge kingdom that rules over 1/3 of Essentia! No, she should be called the Empress, she is a woman more noble than anyone else!
Even though she’s a 50-year-old woman? Anyway, she is a very noble person, so she should treat her accordingly.
“Interest…? Interesting…? … Hmm. So, what bet are we making?”
“Puhuhuh. What bet? Of course, it’s a bet to see who will win, right?”
Even though I’m speaking informally. A voice made without any playfulness to feel as dignified as possible.
Did you feel a little reassured by that voice? Estonia tilted her head, and she began to show interest in the bet I suggested.
“To me, those demons look like they’re a step above the hero knights, right? It might not be that big of a difference. Still, it seems like Orlando will appear before Ferragus?”
“Ha. You are more foolish than I thought, Baronet? “How can you think of women like those who are prostitutes higher than the greatest knights in our kingdom?”
“So~ Because you and I have different perspectives. Let’s compare whose eyes are more accurate.”
Although it’s a bit surprising. My strength is now quite stable.
Qliphoth is the administrator of this planet. The source of Tesser that permeated this planet through her and was connected to my body.
Thanks to this, the source of the power that made up this body was moved and mixed with other powers. My energy wasn’t stable for a while and the females were scared when they saw my attractive body.
Of course, it was possible to deal with this by showing off the male’s charm that outweighed his fear… But still, it was quite inconvenient to have to be conscious of it to stimulate the females’ instincts.
However, thanks to the fact that the power is now quite stable. Now, women who are not beasts can recognize me as an attractive male like before without having to use any tricks.
I’m not sure what level it is compared to before. Still, this is a fact verified by several human females brought in by the demons before the second part of the Human Demon Festival began.
But what about Estonia now? This is a situation right next to me that makes me want to mate just by looking at it.
However, I can’t sense the smell of a female in heat, which should be given off by females who see me.
This is still just my prediction… But perhaps Estonia is so obsessed with wanting to kill the demons right now that she doesn’t recognize the signal her instincts are sending?
The female’s instinct is telling her to activate her ovaries that have entered menopause and to quickly open her vagina. You are so absorbed in other thoughts that you can ignore those instincts.
If you approach too boldly in that situation, you will be met with a lot of rejection. There must also be some sense of responsibility as a queen.
However, I can’t show my energy to the point where it ruins me… So, I plan to start off by maintaining a reasonable distance and giving Estonia some time to adjust.
“So. What bet do you want to make? “I’m sure you’re not asking to bet money…?”
“Choose who will win each match. How about the wrong side granting the other person what they want one by one? If both sides are right or wrong, it is considered a draw, and we move on.”
“Hmm. It sounds like fun… But it’s a bit burdensome to get what you want. “Baron, do you know what you are asking?”
“Puhuhuh. Would I really ask for something unreasonable? “I’ll only ask for something very simple, so don’t worry.”
Does he unexpectedly like things like betting? Or was he influenced by the female instinct without realizing it?
The response was better than I expected. Estonia trying to adjust the stake.
I pretended to think for a moment in front of her and presented the conditions that I had already decided on as if I had thought them through carefully.
“First… If I win this time, how about taking off that veil that covers your face in front of me? I’ll have to think about what to ask for next time. “I’m asking a similar level to this.”
“For a moment. “You want me to show you my face?”
Hmm? I’m just asking you to show me your face… Why is this such a burdensome response?
He showed interest in the bet, so I thought he would simply accept it. But why do I feel so reluctant?
“Huh. And when you won, Estonia… Hmm. “Shall we decide to exclude one of the remaining demon players?”
“Wha…!? Wait. That’s, um…”
Although I did my best to pretend to be fine. Estonia’s reaction was more embarrassing than expected.
In response, I hurriedly pulled out a powerful rice cake, and Estonia trembled and looked at me.
“Even though I look like this, my eyes are always correct. Even if it ends in a draw, I won’t be wrong, right?”
“… What if I’m wrong? Can you keep your terms? “For the demons, their lives are at stake?”
“Puhuhuh. Would I lie to the queen? Now the demons are worshiping me like a god, right? If you accept, I will at least accept a pledge from Astaroth, the representative of the demon race.”
Tsk tsk. Was this too sweet rice cake?
I was so embarrassed that I just spit it out. The response is very good?
Originally, I was trying to present conditions that would make it feel like a light game so as not to raise suspicion. In fact, I feel like this condition worked out better.
It’s a hastily brought up condition, but… Well, it’s a match with a predetermined outcome anyway. There won’t be any big problems, right?
Ruler. Estonia. It’s an offer that you can’t get no matter where you spend your money. Please be happy and ask quickly.
“… Hmm. Is it so. Unless you’re ignoring me. The baronet wouldn’t lie. Great. “I’ll take it.”
“Oh. Really? “I think you’re pretty confident about this?”
“I don’t know about you, Baronet, but I’m surprisingly strong at betting. “Let me tell you that sometimes the baronet’s eyes are wrong.”
Phew. What. Are you strong at betting?
For some reason, it feels like you enjoy making bets like this? It won’t be with the king. Do you enjoy betting with other nobles?
No matter how much it’s a piece of cake that you can’t help but bite into. Seeing how confident he is, it looks like his odds of winning are pretty good…
It would be pretty fun to see the reaction when you lose, right? Tsk tsk. I’m sure you’re not going to cry or anything, are you?
“Good. Then, in this battle, I will choose the victory of the representative of the fairy tribe… Of course, the queen will win the hero knight, right?”
“Sure. Sir Radin will win at least three times.”
“Three times? Tsk tsk. “Is this ignoring the demon players too much?”
“It’s not a judgment, it’s a judgment based on ability. As I said, our players are capable of being compared to Shinsoo on their own.”
Phew. On a subject where I don’t even know the skills of my negative numbers. I don’t know why you’re so confident…
Well, if it comes out like this, I’m thankful, right? Please pay the price for your pride. Queen.
“Good. Then let’s see what happens. “You can’t say anything else after losing?”
“Let me swear on my honor. “Make sure the baronet doesn’t say anything else later.”
If I win, I’ll reveal my face. A bet that excludes one Demon player if Estonia wins.
By expressing confidence in each person’s choices. With that, Estoria and I turned our attention to Lisbeth and Radin, who were continuing to exchange attacks.
