As if nothing had happened, I wore my [Earring of Communication] that connected to Beatrice. Sana was giggling cutely while Ertha just stood a step behind her, unable to know what had happened because of her blindfold.
I had no plan to explain it to her either. Instead, I asked Sana.
"So, are we going to make a speech in the Capital City first before the Academy City?"
"Yes, that's correct. We will depart in a few minutes after Headmistress Alesia arrives." Sana confirmed with a nod. "After that, we will talk with the Queen to finalize our cooperation. The Academy City and other Duchies' speech will follow afterward."
"I see." I nodded. "Then, I will go to the toilet first."
"Do you need my help, Sir Arthur?" She teased with a playful smile.
Ertha pretended not to hear it, but her face was red to her ear. She understood what Sana implied. Poor Bishop, being around Sana, who loved to play around and was able to read other people rather easily, must be hard. I could imagine her being played around like a doll, following the Archbishop's whim.
However, my cheeky nun had teased me many times before, so something like this didn't work anymore. I smiled softly at Sana and answered.
"I appreciate it, but I would like a personal space in the toilet."
"What a shame. Well, I can wait for 5 days to receive your love. Fufufu, I am not an impatient girl."
I only smiled at Sana and walked upstairs, going inside the church. Going to the toilet was just an excuse, and Sana probably knew about it.
In fact, I was about to contact Beatrice to ask for an update on the Queen's attitude. To think the Queen would make up her mind this fast… What did that Succubus do?
Entering the church, I went to a secluded place in the inner section and injected my MP into the [Earring of Communication].
Ring… Ring–
It wasn't connected even after a few seconds.
"How unusual," I muttered, leaning my back against the wall underneath the stairs. "Let's try it ag–"
Before I finished muttering to myself, my earring vibrated slightly, and the gem blinked. Beatrice had contacted me.
"Talking about the Devil," I said, taking the call. "Beatrice?"
(Yes, Master! Finally, I am able to contact you!) A cheery voice from the primordial Succubus rang in my ear.
(Did you have fun last night, Master? You have sex, no? That's why you don't take my call. Fufufu, I am expecting you to have more fun when you use my body too. I will prepare myself and arrive with my pussy wet!)
"I am glad you're excited, but tell me why you contacted me last night. Also, report the Queen's condition right now. Why did she suddenly contact the Church and be willing to take the throne? I remembered she was still hesitating about that." I said in a low voice, not to be heard by other people.
(I did my best.)
"…"
'What did you do?' I retorted in my mind.
That sentence was too suspicious, especially since it came from a lust Devil who was born from the Goddess of Lust's love juice.
(Do you remember my <Arousal Scent> skill, Master? The one that I used filled that cave and aroused those girls.)
"I remember." I nodded slightly.
That skill was pretty nasty. Enhanced by the pink fog with an aphrodisiac effect that Beatrice released from her evaporated sweat and love juice, it could even excite me to the point that I had sex with 20 Succubi without getting tired, filling their wombs with my semen.
Also, I also remember she planned to use that skill alongside her unique racial characteristic to make the orgy party more exciting.
'I need to warn her not to use it too much, especially on Mia or Sophia. I don't want the former to rampage and the latter to awaken her yandere trait.'
"What about it?" I asked the primordial Succubus curiously.
(I have another skill called <Soothing Aroma> that can make people believe me easier. I had used it to influence Eve's decision slowly, and somehow… It got stronger after the Goddess… My mother… Gave me the <Transformation> skill that day.)
The fact Beatrice called the Goddess her mother caught my attention. I guessed she wouldn't accept it even if the Goddess herself told her. But that wasn't important.
I should focus on the part where she had a skill that made people believe her easier. From the name, it must be derived from <Charm Magic>.
'So that's why the Queen's attitude changed easily. This skill is really useful. I thought Beatrice only used her mouth to influence the Queen, just like how she used it to satisfy me.'
(So I told the Queen that she should take the throne, for the citizens and the Princes' sake. The news of King Cassius' death was the final straw that made her give up and finalize her decision. She agrees to take the throne as long as the church supports her reign and accepts one condition.)
I raised my eyebrows and asked, "And what's that condition?"
(It's to let Devil Races, such as Succubus, Vampire, and probably also Demon, I don't know about this one, in the Underground City, being Virtue Kingdom's citizens. She clearly stated that she would accept them without condition as long as their Sins weren't higher than their Virtues.)
(This is due to my influence, Master! Eve believes there are not only evil Vampires like those who attacked the party, but there are also good ones because I told her that they helped me escape. The further plan still needs to be discussed, but that's the gist of it.)
The result was better than I had initially expected.
With this, the Border City might be recognized as an official city and could get the Queen's support. However, there was still that problem where unknown individuals suddenly showed up at the secret entrance between the two Kingdoms, but that wouldn't affect the plan too much.
"Great job." I honestly praised the primordial Succubus as my lips curled into a grin.
Maybe it wouldn't be too long before I could get to know Queen Eve better. I just needed a chance to talk to her more. For that, I already had a plan. And that was to teach the Princes about Swordsmanship so I could visit Royal Castle without causing suspicion.
When the Castitas Church declared their support to the Queen, I would be able to enter the Royal Castle, but visiting many times would cause suspicion.
'If I have a real reason, then I can meet the Queen and try to make her fall for me. Beatrice's help is still needed, but at least those Nobles won't be suspicious."
Talking about the nobles…
"Have you charmed the important Nobles yet?"
(Currently, I only managed to charm Duke Applewell and Count Norrant. Both of them are in the first Prince camp and tried to talk to the Queen to make her consider Prince Thomas to be the next heir. There is also a Viscount visiting, but he doesn't really have that much influence in the Royal Castle.)
"I see. Continue your hard work. If possible, charm the other Duke and find information about the head of Bluerose Duchy." I instructed in a low voice.
This would be important in the event when those Nobles started scheming.
"Also, I will meet you later after the speech. How about a quickie as your reward?"
(…!!)
I heard a sharp breath from the other side. Then, it was followed by a loud panting and a sexy voice.
(Yes~!)
