Chapter 168 - Engaged

"That damn lizard," Albert shouted in frustration, realizing he had been trapped. If it was any other person, they would be overjoyed by such an invitation from the succubus queen.

But for him, this relationship was just a chain to tie him to the Lust Kingdom.

'If I reject this, will I be hunted down?' Albert narrowed his eyes.

[Do you need my opinion? I have no feeling, so my opinion will be according to reason.]

'Hmm?' Albert hesitated for a second, not feeling great to have an opinion on this type of problem. It was true that he found the succubus queen attractive in all aspects, from beauty to capability, but that was all. He had no thought about anything further.

[If you reject this, the rumor might be spread around. If you accept this, she should be able to agree to give you freedom. You most likely can ask her to hide this relationship for a few years. At that time, anything can happen. Love can develop, the relationship can be broken, or another love might grow.]

'Bonkey. You should know about my past life, right? Doing this is similar to my treatment of those women… In the end, there would be no one besides me when I die. I've changed, Bonkey.'

[All I can see is that there's no disadvantage in getting engaged with her. As she said earlier, she is a capable woman and the most beautiful world around the continent. Having such a wife is surely great.]

'So, you're suggesting I accept this?'

[Not really. There is one most important matter that you need to remember.]

'What is that?'

[Who are we?]

'Albert and Bonkey… No, wait. Bonk?'

[That's right. You can treat this engagement as a chance to get closer to the succubus queen. Because of her natural charm and her race, doesn't this mean she's the epitome of horniness?]

[If you get engaged, there's a chance you can turn her into a saint. Imagine having a succubus queen as a saint who learns the way of bonk… That means bonk is the winner in this Bonk and Horny never-ending war.]

'But with how attractive she is, won't there be a chance for me to fall into depravity?'

[It's your will. In a war, there are three outcomes. Win, lose and draw. If you lose, that means horniness is better than bonk.]

'What if it's a draw?'

[That means Bonk and Horny can see peace. Both are good.]

'Is that something an entity like you should say? Like horniness is good?'

[I am merely stating my opinion. My goal hasn't changed. It's to bonk. Remember what I first said when I bound myself to you?]

'Hmm?' Albert furrowed his eyebrows.

[Please use this system to prevent anyone from dying because they're horny. They shall not be affected by various diseases like you did. Lust can bring one's doom as you have experienced it yourself. Hence, it's your turn to fix them.]

[Perverted people shall be slain, Lusty ladies and gentlemen are needed to be bonked, and those who look down on the horniness shall be jailed!]

[Horny is not allowed.]

[bonk is justice.]

[And we shall serve justice!]

'Yeah, I remember reading this.'

[With how the succubus is going around to have sex, they might contract some diseases. However, because of the overwhelming charm of the succubus queen, she has yet to get a partner to do that because they're always charmed. If you take this chance, you will be able to stop her from getting contracted by those diseases. It might be because this is a magical world that the diseases are suppressed by their magical body and Magic Power, but if you ask, there might be various records about it.]

'I see. That's reasonable.'

[If your relationship becomes closer, there's a chance you can purify the succubus queen from horniness, which is basically a win. It's not like you have anything you dislike from the succubus queen.]

'Indeed.'

[If you can have the succubus queen turn into a new leaf, her subordinates might follow. At that time, more succubus will be saved.]

'A great goal.'

[That's all I have to say about this relationship. I'm your system, not a matchmaker or your decision-maker. The rest is up to you. I'm sure that you're not young enough to not understand how relationships work.]

Albert thought for a moment and looked at Lilith.

Lilith tilted her head with a smile. She had been waiting for a response for five minutes. Normally, the conversation would have ended already, but she didn't want to push Albert to the brink, lest he rejected her.

Meanwhile, the ministers were staring at Albert, observing his reactions. Half of them already believed Albert was the perfect candidate to be their queen's husband. After all, he already showed his potential.

The rest were still pretty adamant since Albert was just an unknown commoner even though he had contributed greatly to the country.

"I have four conditions." Albert raised four fingers.

"What?!" The ministers shouted in unison, never thinking Albert would raise conditions. Having their queen marry him was the greatest blessing he could have, yet the latter dared to present conditions.

Luckily, before they snarled, Lilith already stated, "Sure. Let me hear it."

"Your Majesty?!" The people around her looked at her with dumbfounded faces.

Lilith ignored them and kept staring at Albert as if asking him to put the conditions forward.

"First, I want to hide this relationship so that my freedom won't be snatched away and unnecessary problems won't come my way."

"Easy. I have prepared to do that before saying all this."

"Second, when I have a relationship, I won't look at other women. You should do the same."

"No man can resist my charm like you. Even if I want to do it, it's not possible. They need a hardened will."

"I want a promise." Albert shook his head and looked her in the eyes.

Lilith saw his serious face and nodded with a smile. "I understand. I promise you."

"Third, you won't chain me down to this kingdom."

"Yes and no. I can guarantee that you don't need to care about this kingdom, but I can't guarantee it in the future, especially during the war. If there are other kingdoms that want to snatch you away, I'll do whatever it takes to save you, even if it means declaring our relationship."

Albert pondered the situation and agreed with Lilith's perspective. "I see. I didn't look that far. I can agree to that, but I don't think you need to worry that much."

"I'll just see the situation. If you believe you can handle it, I won't make my move."

"Yeah, okay." Albert nodded and continued to the last condition. "I want to have the option to back away in the future if I can't see a life with you."

The ministers dropped their jaws to the ground when they heard the last condition. The audacity.

"You bastard!"

"How dare you treat our queen as your side chick!"

"Do you think you can abandon her anytime you like?!"

Albert had prepared for all this, so he just kept quiet.

Lilith also remained silent for another two minutes before saying, "I can agree with that."

"What? Your Majesty!"

"That bastard is treating you as a spare woman that he can throw away anytime he likes!"

Lilith waved her hands to calm them down and added, "Of course. You need to give me chances too. A breakup won't happen without love. A divorce won't happen without a marriage. Cheating won't happen without a loving life.

"I want you to make an effort to get closer to me since I will do the same. If you can't even do that, it means you don't have any thoughts about our relationship. I can wait for marriage, but I'm a rather selfish person even if I'm a royalty where multiple wives are normal… I won't allow any woman besides me.

"You said this earlier… There shouldn't be anyone on your side other than me, and I'll do the same. If you can agree with this, I'll accept your condition."

Albert closed his eyes for a moment. "My view with you is the same. I am not capable enough to see myself having more than one woman. It's just a matter of my principle."

"Hehe. Though, on my part, I have my own confidence that no other woman can beat me." Lilith chuckled with her bright smile remained on her face. "There won't be any other woman since they're pale in comparison."

Albert also chuckled and nodded. "As for making an effort… I can promise that I won't stop your advance. But I just want to remind you, if your seduction is too much, I might bonk you. That's just a matter of principle."

"Or you might love me too much that you can't have enough of me." Lilith smirked.

"Who knows. There is a chance that you end up turning into a new leaf."

"Hehe. That's our battle for another day." Lilith asked, "With this, our relationship is official?"

"Yes." Albert nodded with a serious expression.

"Great. Now I'm your fiancee, and you're my fiance." Lilith clapped her hands. "Don't worry. The secret is safe."

"Thank you." Albert smiled. "Though, I do want to ask you something."

"What is that?" Lilith tilted her head in confusion, wondering what Albert had in mind. In this situation, it was normal for her to think Albert had an ulterior motive now that she was engaged to the queen. But Albert had no desire for anything other than a journey to bonk, and the one who messed it up needed to pay the price.

Albert clenched his fist and said, "That damn lizard… Punch him for me."

Lilith widened her eyes in surprise before laughing out loud. "Haha. You're the best. Don't worry. I'll give him one big punch on the head."

Little did they know, the war between bonk and horniness just went to a whole new level.
