"I apologize for my previous rudeness, Lord Demon King."
After Alice untied Mador, the latter promptly knelt in front of Alice and expressed her apology. Although magic technology and culture in this world had already reached a very developed stage, so formalities from the feudal era remain even to this day.
Mador did not suspect that Alice was deceiving her anymore. After all, the Demon King's identity was of utmost importance. Even if she didn't know about the Demon King's true identity, Frosette, the daughter of the Heavenly King of Water, and the Four Heavenly Kings should know it, right?
So long as Alice didn't plan to kill her or hand her over to the Rhine Kingdom imdiately, Mador would have opportunities to contact Frosette or report this matter to the Four Heavenly Kings. Then, she could have the Four Heavenly Kings verify Alice's identity.
"It's fine. It was my fault for using the wrong type of mana," Alice said, waving her hand in embarrassnt. She was entirely at fault for causing the misunderstanding this ti.
After this incident, Alice found that she needed to separate her black and white panties. Otherwise, if she created another similar misunderstanding in the future, she might not be able to salvage the situation as well as she did today.
Spatial storages existed in this world. It was just like the weapon box she used to keep the Hero's Sword and the pendant she used to keep the power armor. After reflecting on this situation, she felt she might prepare two spatial rings specifically for storing panties. That way, not only could she avoid making another blunder like today, but she could also transfer a pair of panties directly into her right hand with just a thought.
"Then, the person who had pass on a ssage for 'Magic Tower Know-It-All'..."
Mador suddenly recalled the strange incident she had encountered today. Originally, she had accompanied her classmate to visit "Magic Tower Know-It-All" for a consultation. Yet, when she left Magic Tower Know-It-All's office, she failed to rember what exactly she had said to the information broker.
Afterward, she was called upon by a counselor and lost consciousness. After she regained consciousness, an old magician inford her that the Demon King had hypnotized her without her knowing and used her to pass on a ssage to "Magic Tower Know-It-All" to recruit him.
Now that Mador thought about this series of strange events again, she had a creeping suspicion that these were all Alice's doing.
"Ahem. Frosette went by 'Academy Know-It-All' in the March Academy, so I subconsciously assud that 'Magic Tower Know-It-All' is also a spy." Speaking of this matter, Alice couldn't help but grow a little gloomy. She felt that she was taking things too much for granted. "After realizing my blunder, I contacted Frosette and asked her for information on the Royal Magic Tower's spy. Then, I discovered that you, the person I controlled, turned out to be the spy I was looking for."
Mador couldn't help but look at Alice awkwardly after hearing the other party's explanation. Wasn't this Demon King a little too rash and unreliable? However, Alice's words and behavior showed that she seed to be truly acquainted with Frosette. This increased Alice's credibility in Mador's eyes.
All five spies responsible for infiltrating the various human kingdoms' best magic academies maintained frequent contact with each other. anwhile, it was a fact that Frosette was responsible for infiltrating the Gryffin Kingdom's March Royal School of Magic. Moreover, Frosette was also the daughter of Ellu Shax, the Heavenly King of Water. Frosette definitely knew about the Demon King's true identity. So, if even Frosette acknowledged Alice, Alice was most likely the new Demon King.
To think the new Demon King would be the Gryffin Kingdom's princess Mador was greatly surprised by this revelation.

"Anyway, I ca this ti mainly to learn more about a situation from you." Since Mador basically believed that she was the Demon King, Alice naturally had no more need to hide the purpose of her visit. Even if Mador still held so doubts in her heart, the demoness could simply ask Frosette and the Four Heavenly Kings afterward. "Frosette told soone has contacted you asking for our intervention in the Rhine Kingdom's succession rights."
When Mador heard Alice ntioning this matter, the last shred of doubt in her heart vanished completely. This was because this matter was sothing known by only the five spies and the Four Heavenly Kings. The fact that Alice knew of this information ant that Frosette truly believed that Alice was the Demon King.
Hence, Mador did not think of hiding this information and nodded. Then, she began to share all the information she knew:
"That's right. The other party seems to have discovered my real identity already. He has sent multiple letters thus far. Although these letters are disguised as love letters on the surface, the letters' content is basically a request for the demon race to partner with him to seize power in the Rhine Kingdom, and all of these letters are signed by Prince Etoria."
"But Prince Etoria clearly doesn't know about your true identity," Alice said, chuckling. Luna had previously pried into Etoria's mories. Although Etoria possessed fetishes inappropriate for a prince, it was a fact that he didn't have any mories of colluding with the demon race. "You might not know this, but the old magician who sent you back to your dorm is actually a highly skilled spirit magician. Moreover, he ca to the tower with Prince Etoria."
Mador ca to a realization when she listened up to this point. If Etoria truly was the person trying to collude with the demon race, just now was the perfect opportunity for him to strike. So long as he had the old spirit magician plant so mories into her mind, he could easily manipulate her to instigate a war between the demons and the humans. At that ti, the demons would have to participate in the war even if they didn't want to.
"Not to ntion, Etoria was and is currently still the most likely successor to the throne. He has no reason to partner with us. So, the Etoria contacting you must be soone else," Alice said. "You've infiltrated the Rhine Kingdom for so ti now. Do you have any ideas who might be doing this?"
"...If we are talking about soone trying to involve the demon race in the Rhine Kingdom's succession, the most likely suspects would be the other successors who have very little presence," Mador said after giving Alice's question so thought. "For starters, there is the Eldest Prince Collins Doyle, who beca obsessed with gas and ani culture long ago. Then, there is the Third Prince Arcana Doyle, who is still attending middle school but has no character whatsoever. Lastly, there is Princess Lilith Doyle, who seed to receive no importance from the king whatsoever."
So the Eldest Prince is an otaku. No wonder he isn't interested in the throne.
Alice nodded, seemingly reaching an understanding.
