A short fat man with short brown hair, pale white skin, and an ugly face imitating a pig walked into the throne room with two large guards standing beside him.
"It is an honor to be in front of King Uxtan himself," The man says, bowing deeply before raising his head.
"Speak, you should know we are in the middle of a war, so I don't have much ti," The king announces with a voice that echoed through the room.
"As you wish… I have co because we have suspected that one of your people poisoned our king, who is currently bedridden and on the brink of death," The fat man says with a slimy smile.
What a lier…
"Bring proof," The king says.
"Huh?"
"Did you not just hear ! BRING PROOF IF YOU THINK OUR KINGDOM DID IT!" The king shouts in anger after being falsely accused.
The fat man stumbles back from the king's sudden burst of anger.
"W-we would like you to help with the investigation as we are 99% sure that your kingdom was involved in this," The fat man says, trying to regain his confidence.
"YOU DARE! BRING PROOF, AND ONLY THEN WILL I HELP YOU!" The king shouts while seething in anger.
Every noble surrounding us was frightened by the king's skin suddenly turning dark red and the white of his eyes turning black.
"King Uxtan, please calm down," The queen announces before the king could break the arms of his throne with just his grip.
The king's dark red skin returned to normal while the black in his eyes faded out into the normal white.
This guy is interesting…

…
I see… so it's probably that right… [Mark of a Berserker (Last Stage)]. It seems this is what I would've ended up like if I didn't have Ichii.
"Forgive my rudeness, but it seems I can't back down as this is a matter of life and death of our kingdom as the king has been the pillar for so long. He hasn't even found a wife yet to bear children, so it will truly be the downfall of our kingdom.
This also ans that all trade with us will be cut off, causing you to lose all connections with our friends. So please King Uxtan, choose wisely-"
"Poisoned or sick?" I accidentally blurt out without thinking of the consequences.
The fat man's expression slightly wavers, giving all the information I needed.
But on the other hand, the queen and king weren't happy with interrupting the conversation… especially the queen.
Though her expression didn't show it, the amount of bloodlust and pressure she shot at was enough to make my legs wobble.
"Forgive for speaking out loud," I say before retreating slightly backward.
"Hahaha… P-please doesn't listen to her. It is indeed a poison, and we had multiple doctors test it," The fat man stumbles over his words while trying to cover his worry up with a fake laugh.
But the rulers sitting next to weren't as naive to miss this, so they imdiately questioned him.
"What are the symptoms?" The king first asks while signaling for a man with glasses to co up next to his throne.
I inspected him imdiately and noticed that he had [Lie Detection], making the fat man begin to sweat profusely.
The fat man just stood there while the guards on the side of him stepped up, seemingly ready to protect him while he tries to escape.
"Guards, make sure they don't leave," The king orders, causing every guard towards the outside of the room to block the exit and protect the nobles on the bottom layer of the throne room.
"Answer," The queen says coldly.
"I-I'M SORRY! I was just sent here as a ssenger to inform you about the king's situation!" The fat man shouts, imdiately taking a kowtow position.
The king looks at the man beside him, which the man nods in agreent, signaling he wasn't lying at all.
But it was pretty obvious he was keeping part of the story to himself…
"Tell us everything you know," The king orders while releasing an insane amount of pressure that seed to be on par with mine whenever I get serious.
The fat man looks back and forth between the [Lie Detection] wielding man and the king before slamming his forehead into the carpet below.
"I-I was sent here to lie about the king's situation partly! He is indeed bedridden and on the brink of death, but it is not due to poison but a virus that we have never seen before! But, we do think this is the work of sobody in your kingdom!" The fat man shouts apologetically.
Once again, the king looks at the man beside him, who just gave a slight nod before returning his gaze to the noble from the Kingdom of Fire.
"[Brainwash]," The king mutters before closing his eyes.
The noble and knights go limp, causing them to fall flat on their faces before standing up with eyes like that of a dead fish.
"As you wish, King Uxtan," They all say in the most monotone voice I had ever heard before walking out of the throne room.
Of course, the king made sure his knights didn't attack his newly made slaves as they left.
"That should be settled. There will be an inevitable war with the Kingdom of Fire… but it seems it will be out of desperation by the people because the king will definitely die. We could've at least heard the symptoms just in case anybody in our kingdom has it," The king mutters to himself.
Well… that's due to . My [Virus] skill did that, and I'm 100% sure… but I didn't realize it would be this powerful.
That guy was strong as hell, but now he's bedridden from sothing he couldn't even see… what a cheat.
Also, how did you not find out the symptoms when you literally brainwashed the guy. Or maybe he didn't know the symptoms?
"Okay, everybody is dismissed!" The king shouts but takes a quick glimpse at before jumping off his throne.
[Sobody has tried to Inspect you]
[Due to the effects of Inspect Block, you can cancel it or allow it to co through]
[What would you like to do?]
What the hell… This skill is a cheat as well. That inner demon really has a good taste of skills, but it seems like she could predict what was held inside that Nether Stone… I'll have to ask her again once I find out how to talk to her.
Block it.
[Inspect has been blocked]
Suddenly, the king's face jolts in shock, probably after seeing a rejection screen, causing him to storm over to and look down at .
He towered over my pitiful height, but I felt no fear against this guy as I knew a fight with him would be inevitable.
Fighting with him was guaranteed whether I liked it or not, as our two kingdoms were currently at war. But… his kingdom will be gone soon, we'll take all the benefits, expanding from the [Mountian of Twilight] and slowly take over this plane.
"Who are you-"
"Please step away from my personal guard. I'm afraid you'll try sothing on her like every other personal guard I had," The queen says, stepping in between us while I just slightly smiled.
"Interesting…" The king says before walking away, down the bright red carpet.
His back was massive. Plus, it was definitely the back of sobody I would want to protect. It was the back of sobody trustworthy and sobody worth fighting for... Fitting for a king who goes to war with his soldiers.
But look at him now... he could've tried to help out with the war, but here he is attending to problems within his kingdom instead of raising morale on the battlefield.
And, it doesn't matter if I'm doing the sa as 4 other queens are leading my soldiers into battle.
"Interesting…" I mutter before stepping slightly away from the queen, who was practically pressed up against .
"So, are you going to apologize?" The queen asks, turning around and staring at dead in the eyes.
"Forgive my rudeness earlier. It was just extrely suspicious… Please no punishnt," I respond, bowing my head apologetically.
"*sigh*... You did help us catch his suspicious activity, so I'll forgive you just this one ti, but if you ss up again, I will make sure you suffer without any relief… okay?"
"Yes, my lady. Thank you, my lady," I respond before following her out of the throne room where the nobles made way for her.
The rest of the day went smoothly with just standing next to the queen as she filled out paper forms, signing so papers, and even needing to leave her office for a couple of requests while also checking on everybody in the castle to make sure nobody was slacking off.
And at night, I was chained up but with no aphrodisiac, thankfully, before falling asleep.
