Chapter 194 - Their Plan

"I think you can continue the investigation later. Let's finish our discussion first." Albert scratched the back of his head, feeling bad about Gin.

"Y-yeah." Lilith made a wry smile. "Release him for now."

The succubus immediately retracted the charm spell, allowing Gin to regain his consciousness.

"Eh?" Gin glanced left and right, confused about what he did earlier. "I feel like there's a blank space in my memory…"

"Great Sage… Nevermind, I'll just call you Gin." Albert sighed while looking at him with a serious expression. "Cooperate with them for the time being. After you finish everything, have them send you to me. I'll teach you the rest of my power."

Gin's expression brightened. Although he didn't really like the feeling of having a blank memory, if it was all he needed to gain Albert's approval, he could endure it.

With a smile on his face, Gin politely bowed his head. "Thank you very much."

"It should be one or two weeks. Shouldn't be a problem for you, right?" Lilith added.

"Yes. That's perfectly fine." Gin nodded furiously.

"Call the warden and have him transferred to the guest room." Lilith then changed Gin's status from a prisoner to a guest since the latter had become Albert's student.

Then, the transmission mirror was disconnected.

Lilith then turned to Albert and continued, "So, I have two things I want to mention right now."

"Let's hear it."

"First of all, I want to start making our preparations against the united humans. It won't be long before they march toward us."

"Yes. I'm prepared to handle them." Albert thought for a moment and said, "How about forcing them to delay this march?"

"Hmm? Do you have any idea?"

"I don't know how it will impact their opinions, but how about holding our fight right now?" Albert asked.

"Our fight, huh?" Lilith looked down with her hand on her chin, falling into deep thought.

In Albert's mind, this was a good idea because the enemies would think twice before attacking them. However, Lilith needed to consider the fact that the potential threat would make the humans hasten their progress.

"To be honest, there is an absurd plan to delay them. You can simply show your ability and identity before taking a wife from each demon kingdom. This way, we can make an alliance that can repel them." Lilith explained with a troubled expression.

"You don't like that, right?" Albert put on a gentle smile as if comforting her. "I'm not going to do that."

"But that's the most effective way."

"So, the most effective way is not the best way." Albert denied it again while shaking his head. "To be honest, I had a huge problem with women to the point I don't want to get any woman again in this life."

"Ehm… Sorry. I feel like I've forced you into this situation."

"Nah, it's fine. Lately, I think having a wife is good too." Albert shrugged. "Anyway, let's think about other ways."

"Mhm." Lilith nodded a few times but her expression had brightened a bit. "If we're using our duel to delay them, there's a chance that they will hasten their process because they're scared of your power. I'm sure you're planning to use all your elements, right?

"Just seeing someone have the ability to control all elements is enough to scare them. Even the Magic Empress can only handle the four basic elements such as fire, water, earth, and lightning.

"And there's a chance that the demon kingdoms will use this opportunity to get closer to you while threatening us… like 'If you don't marry this girl or bow to their king, they will attack the Lust Kingdom too.' If that happens, the Lust Kingdom will surely be in ruin."

"I see. I didn't think this far." Albert nodded in understanding. He was already aware that his brain wasn't capable of seeing all those outcomes. After all, he was just a normal person back on Earth.

Suddenly, one of the ministers stepped up and said, "Your Majesty. If I may suggest something… why don't you broadcast the fight all around the Lust Kingdom together with the relationship between you and him? This way, the Lust Kingdom's morale will greatly improve.

"Even if they try to come at us, at the very least, half of the citizens will surely be prepared to fight against their invasion. And if we can expand the Anti-Horny Demon Army, we should be able to create enough momentum for us to deliver a devastating damage to the Risourin Kingdom.

"This way, one of our enemies will stop fighting us or will just send a small number of soldiers. After that, we can use the Great Sage's reputation to weaken their morale. Just give them some reasons why the Great Sage defected to us."

Lilith listened to the suggestion, thinking it was a good suggestion. However, she couldn't decide easily.

"So, instead of fearing against the unknown number of people that will attack us, we should increase our own strength?" Albert asked, wanting to confirm whether his interpretation was correct or not.

"Yes." The minister replied while adding, "In the worst case scenario, we might need to expose your identity as the Demon Lord."

"…" Albert scratched the back of his head, never thinking Yale's mistake to be this serious.

"How about using that salamander? He is strong and has enough energy to pick a fight against the Gluttony Kingdom." Another minister offered another suggestion.

"Still, it will be hard for us to defend the country." Another minister scratched the back of her head.

Albert thought for a moment before revealing something important. "Well, my power can neutralize anyone who is horny. Even if I face a 9-Star Spell, as long as the caster is horny, I can easily neutralize it… without even putting an effort. Just swing that bat."

"!!!" The ministers stopped thinking and turned to him in shock. They all couldn't believe what they just heard.

"What?"

"There is such an omnipotent power?"

"That is so overpowered."

"This is like black and white… If you fight against a 9-Star Magician with Her Majesty, you can neutralize their strength because of her majesty's charm… and you won't be affected by her charm either. In other words, you can defeat a 9-Star Magician easily if you fight together. Even if multiple of them are coming, you can…"

The possibilities began to appear in their minds. They thought it was possible for their Lust Kingdom to win this battle.

"Are you sure it's alright for us to know? I mean I will win our spar, you know?" Lilith made a wry smile.

"It's going to be revealed sooner or later. Since it can give you some hopes for victory, why not?" Albert shrugged. "It's not like you can do anything to me either."

"That's true…" Lilith chuckled. "But that information is precisely what we need right now. This way, we can progress our plan."

"That's good."

"As for the second thing I want to talk about earlier… It's regarding your people. I heard that the people that you brought to the battlefield could neutralize their power as well…"

"That's my power. But it doesn't mean I'll accept anyone to be my people." Albert shook his head. "If you think about making me grant my power just like that, then I won't accept."

"No. I just want to confirm that with you. Instead of an army like that, I want a super general that can defeat the enemy's commanders." Lilith shook her head.

"I'm not very sure myself. If it's my order, they will surely fight. But I won't say anything." Albert shrugged.

"I understand." Lilith nodded a few times. "This is going to be troublesome soon, but at least, we have some hope. For now, I'll discuss our plan with my ministers. As for the date of our sparring, I will inform you later."

"Got it." Albert agreed with this condition. "Is that all?"

"Yes. Let me handle the rest. You can have some rest there."

"Okay, bye. Just contact me if you need something." Albert stepped back and turned off the transmission mirror according to the succubus' instruction.

On the other hand, Lilith covered her eyes while having a troubled expression. She just lied about the second matter. After all, it was clear that the second matter actually appeared because of the first question. If Albert was a good politician, this kind of lie wouldn't escape from his eyes.

Her true question was regarding their marriage. However, there was no way she could propose that idea after Albert gave all that information. It would just be taking advantage of him because of the mistake Yale did.

At the very least, she didn't want to be that kind of woman to the man she would spend her time with in the future.

Lilith looked at her ministers before gently slapping her cheeks to pump out more energy. "Anyway, let's continue our discussion. Don't expect any rest for the next few days."

"Yes, Your Majesty."
