263 - - Episode 22 Six Duchy Conference 3

I, Lilith herself, wish to ascend the throne as Queen of the Kingdom of the Races. I ask for your approval here and now!

Lilith's statement was met with astonishment by most of the people present.

Even Volos, the first prince of the Magical Kingdom, froze his smile in surprise.

When he recovered from his surprise, he let out a sigh of exasperation.

'What a ...... ridiculous thing to say. Princess Lilith, this principality meeting is a serious occasion to decide the end of the world. To make a terribly trivial joke on that occasion is an act that degrades not only you, but also your own country."

Volos gives a cold stare and advises Lilith in a tone as if he were scolding a foolish child.

However, she did not back down and refuted him.

'Mr. Volos, why do you think what I said was a joke?　If I remember correctly, it is customary for the next king of the Human Kingdom to report the generational change at the Council of State and receive acceptance from the other five kingdoms," or, alternatively, "a majority vote by the five kingdoms, excluding the Human Kingdom," is used to determine the next king of the Human Kingdom. We should be able to decide on the king, right?"

To be precise, the former "the next king of the Human Kingdom reports to the Council of State and receives acceptance from the other five countries" is a pretext, while the latter "a majority vote by the five countries excluding the Human Kingdom" is the actual racial king-making process.

The human race could not even decide its own king.

At Lilith's opinion, Volos finally turned his contemptuous gaze on her, as if to say, "Does this woman have no brains?

Her gaze was more than racist, it was as if she were looking at a madman.

In fact, if Lilith wins a majority of votes in the "majority voting system of five countries excluding racial groups," she will be crowned the queen of the racial groups.

However, Volos believed that there would be no one who would agree if he suddenly cried out here that he wanted to be the queen.

He did not want to be seen as a stain on the Six Principality Council, which he had spearheaded, so he voiced his opposition in frustration.

As Princess Lilith said, if you get a majority of the votes from the other five countries, you will be crowned queen. However, there is no dissatisfaction with the current king and no reason to abolish the throne. Furthermore, this meeting is an opportunity to discuss the 'Witch of the Giant Tower. I would like to ask you to stop this childish nonsense. This is not a playground for little girls."

Volos nails Lilith as if he were scolding a dim-witted child.

Lilith, on the other hand, does not step back even when she hears the sound of Volos' sullen voice, and proceeds with her story resolutely.

Is the country of the Witch Queen opposed to this? Then how about the Queen Elf Kingdom?

We, the concubines, the, uh, the Queen Elf Kingdom, welcome the abdication of the current race king and the coronation of Princess Lilith as our queen.

What?

Not expecting the Queen Elf Nation to agree, Volos is astonished and makes a bare voice.

He was so surprised that he did not even notice that Lief VII was looking behind him with a startled look.

Following the Queen Elf Kingdom, Dagan of the Dwarf Kingdom somewhat happily shouts out.

'The Dwarf Kingdom also welcomes Princess Lilith's coronation as queen!

...... Oi and the rest of the Beastmen Confederacy agree."

Furthermore, even the Dwarf Kingdom and the Beastmen Confederacy come out in favor.

For Volos, a bolt out of the blue was exactly what he meant at this time and place.

Lilith, who was so surprised that she had forgotten how to breathe, took over as the moderator.

The Queen Elf Kingdom, the Dwarf Kingdom, and the Beastmen Alliance are in favor. The Dragonite (Dragoneut) Empire votes ......."

...... abstain."

The diplomats of the Dragonite Empire, who are present here with full authority, abstained without indicating either approval or disapproval.

Although they were puzzled by the situation, they remembered every detail of what was said and seemed to think, "Although we feel uncomfortable that we were outvoted, our first priority is to bring back information to our own country.

This would decide the outcome.

Lilith declared with a victorious smile.

The Majin Nation is against it. The Queen Elf Kingdom, the Dwarf Kingdom, and the United Beastmen Kingdom are in favor. The Dragonute Empire abstains. With the above, I hereby declare that the current King of the Kingdom of the Races is no longer in office, and that I, Lilith, will ascend to the throne as Queen of the Kingdom of the Races.

The girl's voice was calm, but her words were already filled with the dignity - or rather, determination - of a queen of a country.

(Things are going completely according to plan. It was worth it.)

I mutter quietly in my mind.

Hearing Lilith's confident voice makes me realize that we are now witnessing a historic event.

Volos, who had been completely eclipsed by Queen Lilith, finally recovers from his surprise and cries out in anger.

Ridiculous!　What the hell do you people think you're doing!　Why should I give this woman any credit?

But in the middle of his shout, he realizes why the Queen Elf Kingdom, the Dwarf Kingdom, and the Beastmen Alliance support Lilith.

He turns his murderous gaze toward the Queen Elf Kingdom, the Dwarf Kingdom, and the Confederacy of Beastmen.

'You!　You have been seduced by witches!"

Volos' point made those who could not keep up with the situation twist their heads, but the young elites of the Majin Nation understood what he was trying to say.

Volos glared at the Queen Elf Kingdom, the Dwarf Kingdom, and the Beastmen Alliance in turn, and pointed out their murderous intent as if to spit it out.

'So the Elves and Beastmen were getting the promise of Queen Lilith's coronation by force of arms, and the Dwarves by the gift of a magic item or some witchcraft technique!

It is impolite to suggest that ...... I was only speaking sincerely to the nations. I could not have made such a declaration without laying the groundwork in advance. The first thing to do is to make sure that you have a good idea of what you're talking about.

Giggle, giggle," a laugh that seems to be poking fun at Volos is heard from behind the Queen Elf Nation Leaf VII.

Lief VII was frightened like a little child scared of a ghost by the sound of laughter echoing from behind him.

Volos, whose pride was hurt by the mockery of himself, looked at him, but could do nothing more.

Because the girl who let out a small, mocking laugh introduced herself.

I apologize for the delay in greeting you. I am the "Witch of the Gigantic Tower," who was just on the agenda for this meeting. I hope to make your acquaintance.
