"Hehe." She smiled and asked, "Though, I believe this is not enough for the sli. Although it's true that I can't repay you by giving you three cities or sothing, I should be able to give you more."
Albert shook his head. "I have no idea right now."
"Well, you can just think about it later. I an Our relationship will last long."
"Why do you sound like we are in a relationship or sothing" Albert raised his eyebrows. "Not the business one, but the romantic one."
"Oh, do you want it as well?" She smiled. "Maybe I should add a kiss in the reward too"
"No. That's just you who takes advantage of ."
"What?" Lilith was taken aback by Albert's statent and said, "I am the succubus queen, you know. Just a single kiss is so precious."
"But I'm soone who is not affected by your charm, so it's useless." Albert shook his head with a poker face. "So, if you try to kiss , then I will require more compensation."
Lilith dropped her jaw and looked at him as if he was a fool. "This is the first ti I see soone like you. I believe even if they're special in my eyes, they will try to get closer to . You might even be able to rule the Lust Kingdom with the world's most beautiful woman by your side, you know."
"Not interested." Albert shook his head.
"Then, I guess I will wait for another request from you." She sighed.
"That's the case," Albert confird it.
The two continued walking side by side. If soone actually saw this, they wouldn't believe it because they would have been stunned by Lilith due to her charm. And when she talked and acted sweet in front of them, no one could resist it.
That was why Lilith usually maintained a cold and aloof expression to push them away from her and prevent a long-lasting entranced state.
Surprisingly, there was no more conversation between them after that.
Albert was thinking about his fate from now on and what he planned to do in the next few days while Lilith simply enjoyed Albert's company as this was the first ti soone could walk alongside her.
Eventually, they reached the site. When they approached it, Lilith suddenly ca to a halt, making sure she was three hundred feet away from them.
"What are you doing?" Albert stopped and turned around, asking her.
"I won't go there because it will affect them. The operation will start soon, so it's better not to disturb them." Lilith shook her head while staring at many people in the distance. She was longing to have an enjoyable conversation with her own subjects, but her being there was the worst thing that could happen, so she put down her desire like how she always did on a daily basis.
"Hmm" Albert fell silent for a mont and said, "Should I hit you once? Maybe I can ask this for a reward."
"Eh? You're going to hit ?" Lilith widened her eyes, shocked.
"Yeah. You should know what happened to the other succubus, right?"
"Yes. But I don't think I want to be hit. I think it won't affect in any way. Besides, you tell that the possibility is there. It's enough to show that the way is in the future, so you hitting is not a solution.
"And I don't know what will happen to when you hit , so I will refuse this ti. I don't want sothing unpredictable to happen to , considering I'm the queen of the Lust Kingdom who is going to wage war with the Risourin Kingdom."
"Tsk." Albert clicked his tongue and looked away. This was his only chance to bonk soone this strong. He believed he could reach level 100 with just a single bonk due to the difference in their level.
However, he realized that it was impossible because Lilith didn't want it. Luckily, fate still gave its rcy to him.
Lilith said, "Although I can't allow you to hit , I can give you a chance to fight for an hour. If within that ti you can hit , then so be it."
"Oh!" Albert smiled, thinking this was the opportunity he needed. It was similar to Alisa's case back in Lustville Town.
"Though, I can't give you the opportunity right now since the war is going to happen soon. But you can hone your skills for the next six months We can fight in six months. I'm sure that you can be a lot stronger than this and your chance is higher, right? This is the reward for soone who is patient."
"Well, I'll take that." Albert nodded with a serious expression. "Don't regret it."
"Of course." Lilith smiled before raising two fingers. "I know that you want to go and watch the operation. However, I want to talk about two things first."
"Sure. What is it?"
"First of all, you're a bit too naive."
Albert frowned. He had been thinking of all the steps he took, so it slightly displeased him when soone looked down on him for no apparent reasons.
However, he still took a deep breath and asked, "Can you please explain it to ?"
"Like the previous conversation. You imdiately accepted the fight in six months. Do you know why I chose this date?"
He looked down, contemplating for a mont. Unfortunately, there wasn't a single reason coming into his mind. "No."
"For three reasons. First, I've been investigating your progress, so I can predict your strength after six months. I believe you're not strong enough to challenge . It will be troubleso if I choose the date to be one year, so this is the reason."
Albert closed his eyes for a mont. Although he didn't want to admit it, he indeed didn't put too much thought into it. "I see."
"Second, six months are enough for to prepare against you and learn more about your fighting style. I know for a fact you're going to bring Erica with you because of her power as a succubus.
"Do you know what we fear the most? It's the unknown. Imagine yourself eting soone on your journey. You don't have this person's information, including his power. And the mont they attack you, you're wondering whether this person is strong or not.
"They can be strong but hide their power to lower your guard. They can be weak but bluff their way up to make them look strong. That's why I've been focusing on the information above everything else."
Albert certainly understood what she was trying to say. The only reason why he had enough confidence in his opponent was due to Bonkey.
Bonkey had been giving the information of his opponent, especially their level, which was the indicator of their power. So, Albert knew when to fight and when to run.
But everything would be a ss if he didn't have information about them. It would cause unnecessary worry and the first thing he needed to do was to gather the information about them.
Albert nodded a few tis. "Yes. It seems I've been too confident of my strength. Thank you for telling that."
"That's why for you, I don't mind giving you so information for free. I will create a special identity for you Maybe I'll give you an insignia. This can be used to acquire so information from the brothel managed by the succubus."
"Really? Thank you so much."
"It's fine. We've levels of secrecy, so don't ask too much, alright?"
"Don't worry."
"Last but not least, you need to be in charge of the conversation. I an, you need to take the initiative. As long as you have the initiative, you can control where the conversation will go. See what I've been doing until now?
"When I talked about the reward, you gave enough information that you didn't have anything in your mind. If I were you, I would say, 'I will give you, the queen, the opportunity to reward with anything you like.' Or sothing like this.
"This way, I need to consider what I give you. If I give sothing small, you will be displeased. If I give sothing big, you will gain so much benefit. That's why never show your weakness even if you need to bluff." Lilith explained with a serious expression.
"I see." Albert nodded in agreent, realizing what made him different from politicians. He looked down and said with a genuine expression. "To be honest, I would like to treat you as a friend. I an, you've told that you want to be my friend who can see you as who you're, right?"
"Well." Lilith looked down, troubled. "I'm sorry. But when I talked about myself, I was genuine. I didn't say it just to gain your sympathy."
Suddenly, a smile appeared on Albert's face, indicating that he was lying.
Lilith's eyebrows twitched. "Seriously"
"Haha." Albert just used what she taught him against her.
"I don't know what to say."
"Well, it's truly hard to maintain this kind of character. I'm not suited for this, so I won't do sothing like that as long as I can think of you as a good acquaintance."
Lilith's eyes brightened when she realized her status had increased in Albert's eyes. From a normal acquaintance to a good one.
She nodded with a smug smile. "That's good."
"Anyway, thank you for telling this. It'll help in the long run."
"No problem." Lilith then raised another finger. "Moving on to the second thing. I want to know your intentions about that human knight What was her na again? Alisa?"
"Yes." Albert nodded, confirming her na.
"When leaving Borsoli Town, I t her. She was disguising herself as a demon, but I realized she was a human. So, I thought she was a spy from the Risourin Kingdom.
"I interrogated her and found that she knew sothing about you. That was where I first started investigating you.
"Anyway, she is currently in prison. So, I want to know your intention."
Albert thought for a mont and said, "Can you release her? Just tell her to give up on and everyone in Lustville Town is alright. Everything will return to normal if she goes back to that place."
"What if she didn't heed this warning and ca to kill you? I had seen the anger in her eyes."
"At that ti, I will be the one who kills her," Albert answered without hesitation.
Lilith pondered for a mont before agreeing to his request. "Alright. I will release her. However, because the war is happening soon, I'm going to expel her from my territory. In other words, I will need to send her back to the Risourin Kingdom.
"I also have heard about Lustville Town. They seem to have evacuated all the humans from that town, so it won't be wise to send her there."
"I see. In that case, let's do it according to your arrangent." Albert agreed with her.
"It's decided." Lilith nodded before asking, "I hear you want to go around the world. Is it including the human kingdoms?"
"Yes. I want to travel to every corner." Albert admitted without hesitation. His goal in this world was simply traveling around and enjoying his ti unlike what he did on Earth, so human kingdoms were on the list of places to visit.
"Well, I can't stop you if you want to go there. But just make sure that kingdom is not fighting a demon kingdom because you might be captured."
"Thank you for your advice."
"That's all I want to say. If you want to talk to , you can et here. I'm going to stay until they finish taking care of the aftermath." She pointed at the group that handled the sli king.
"Heh. Aren't you the one who takes advantage of ?" Albert smirked.
"That's right." Lilith smiled, fighting back against his teasing.
Albert was taken aback and took a step back. Ultimately, he walked toward the group.
Before leaving, he waved his hand and smiled, "Thank you. Talking with you is enjoyable."
Lilith widened her eyes as she couldn't contain her smile anymore. "Yes. too. Thank you."
