Chapter 306: Back
"Here is the development, Your Majesty." A succubus presented a document to Lilith, who was sitting on her throne.
"Mhm." Lilith nodded with a tired expression.
"Your Majesty. I think you should take some rest again." Another succubus suggested, worrying about her condition.
"That’s right, Your Majesty. You have been working tirelessly ever since Sir... Albert left the continent."
The succubus, who helped Lilith, had been watching how hard she worked after Albert left the continent. She seemed to be extremely occupied most of the time, to the point where she could fall sick because of too much work. She even collapsed once. So, they didn’t want Lilith to become like this.
Lilith shook her head. "That’s enough. I’ve already heard that in every meeting. I’m sick of it. Don’t remind me of it anymore."
"Your Majesty. We are just worried about you."
"That’s right. What if Sir Albert knows you’ve worked this hard? Won’t he be worried?"
Lilith gritted her teeth when they started mentioning Albert. "He won’t be going back anytime soon. Besides, I’m working hard for him. I’m going to create a kingdom that he will love so that he won’t leave again!"
"..."
The people were speechless. Knowing the threat from another continent, she knew that she couldn’t do anything other than rely on Albert to solve the issue.
Albert was going to another continent, risking his life for the safety of her and this continent. She didn’t like it and decided to work as hard as she could. She was the succubus queen after all.
Of course, after a lot of hard work, all of the nobles and ministers in the Lust Kingdom acknowledged Albert as their succubus queen’s partner. Lilith was amazing, so there were a lot of objections, and numerous people felt heartbroken.
But with the help of Albert’s group, they managed to suppress everyone. In the end, all the ministers inside the throne room finally acknowledged Albert and gave their blessing.
Albert was from a common family after all. Only a few of them knew Albert was from a different world. So, they believed the succubus queen not having a noble as her partner was wrong.
That was why, she said while pouting, "If Albert is here, then I will rest for a bit. But since he’s not here, I’m going to work a lot. The situation on the continent is pretty chaotic. Knowing there is a threat from another continent, we can’t simply remove the possibility of them attacking us in the near future.
"We have to prepare for everything. Even the other Kingdoms have made their own preparations. I can’t have the Lust Kingdom be the last one."
"But there is Sir Albert." A minister tried to convince her to stop since Albert was strong.
"You are using his name for your convenience. Don’t forget that I’m the queen! If I can only rely on one person to protect the entire kingdom, then it’s better for me to step down!" Lilith harrumphed. Albert had once expressed his unwillingness to take the throne. Lilith had told him that she would be the one governing the kingdom while he could enjoy looking around the continent.
Stating this was the same as the biggest threat to the kingdom. After all, if both refused to be the leaders of the kingdom, the Lust Kingdom wouldn’t last long.
When Lilith said it, the ministers couldn’t do anything more to persuade her.
Lilith let out a long sigh. "I understand your concern. But for now, I’m still fine. Maybe if I’m a bit more tired, I’ll go back to my room."
Lilith also understood they meant well, so she stopped arguing with them.
She looked at the document in her hand and said, "I see. It seems the Wrath Kingdom is planning to join hands with the Pride Kingdom. But if I’m not mistaken, Yale has been engaged with the princess of the Gluttony Kingdom.
"Well, their relationship is a bit vague, but it doesn’t change the fact that there is a possibility of them joining hands as well by using this relationship as the base. So, we have to consider the joint of three kingdoms, huh?
"What are they planning to do? Are they going to send a few more people out of this continent? No, considering the current development, they must be planning to send a few people to check the information of the people we sent previously."
Lilith looked down, contemplating. She was worried that the enemies would figure out their identities. But they truly had no way to check on them.
"Maybe I should find them? This way, I can also find out about his current situation. Sending a scout to gather some information isn’t that big of a movement." Lilith pinched the bridge of her nose, considering the pros and cons.
*Bang!*
While she was in the middle of her thoughts, a loud bang shook the room, startling everyone inside.
"What happened?" The ministers immediately turned around, looking at the entrance as if it were a threat.
It turned out that the one who entered was one of the guards from the outside.
"Your Majesty!"
They looked at the guard’s panicked face and came to the same conclusion. It seemed that there was another emergency.
"What’s wrong? What’s the emergency?" Lilith stood up, ready to leave the throne room to handle this problem.
But soon, a familiar voice echoed inside the room. "It seems that you’ve worked hard."
Lilith’s mouth suddenly dropped when she heard this voice. There was no way she would forget this voice.
When she raised her head, there was a demon dog walking to the entrance with a smile on his face. "I’m back."
Lilith couldn’t say anything. She just dropped everything on her hands and ran as fast as possible.
When she was about to reach him, she jumped and tackled his stomach. She wanted to be as gentle as possible, but her yearning was too much. She just wanted to hug him as soon as possible, afraid that he would leave once again if she ever let him go.
