263 Episode 22 Six Duchy Council 3

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is my desire that the current King of the Racial Kingdom be abolished and I, Lilith, be enthroned as Queen of the Racial Kingdom. I ask you to take this opportunity to vote on this matter!

Most of the people present made astonished expressions at Lilith's statement.

Even Volos, the First Prince of the Demon Kingdom, freezes the smile that was on his face in surprise.

He lets out a dumbfounded sigh as he recovers from his surprise.

''What a ridiculous ...... thing to say. Princess Lilith-sama, this dukedom conference is a serious place to decide where the world is going. It is an act of degrading not only you, but also your country's dignity to make a terribly trivial joke on that occasion.

Volos gave her a cold stare, but warned Lilith in a tone that was like scolding a stupid child.

However, she didn't back down a step and countered.

''Master Volos, why do you think my statement was a joke?　If I remember correctly, it's customary for the next king of the Human Kingdom to report to the Principality Council about the change of generations and receive acceptance from the other five countries, or alternatively, the next king of the Racial Kingdom could be chosen by a majority vote of the five countries, except for the races, right?

To be precise, the former "The next king of the Human Kingdom will present his report to the Principality Council and the other five countries will accept it" is a tatemae, while the latter "Majority rule among the five nations, excluding racial groups" is the actual decision of the racial king.

The human race could not even decide the king by themselves.

To Lilith's opinion, Volos finally gives her a disdainful look, as if to say, "Does this woman have no brains?

That gaze was beyond racist, it was like looking at a madman.

In fact, with a majority of votes in the 'five-nation majority system excluding race', Lilith would be able to get the position of race queen.

But Volos thought that there was no species that would agree with him if he suddenly shouted 'I want to be crowned queen' here.

He didn't want to be subjected to any further attempts to stifle the Duchy of Six, which he had spearheaded, so he voiced his opposition in frustration.

You are right, Princess Lilith, if you can get a majority of the votes from the other five countries, you will be able to ascend the throne. However, the current king is neither dissatisfied nor has any reason to abolish him. Furthermore, this meeting is to discuss the Witch of the Colossal Tower. I would like to have enough of the child's playfulness. This is not your playground, little girl.

Volos nails Lilith as he scolds the demented child.

On the other hand, Lilith doesn't take a step back when she hears the sound of Volos' unhappy voice and proceeds to speak firmly.

''The Demon Kingdom is a no-go? Then how about the Elf Queen State?

"Wah, my concubines, I, er, I, er, welcome Queen Elf, the current king of our race, to the throne of Princess Lilith.

Hey!

He didn't think the Elven Queen State would agree, and Volos was so astonished that he let out a bare voice.

He was so surprised that he didn't even notice that Leaf VII was freaked out and conscious behind him.

Following Queen Elf Kingdom, Dagan, the Dwarf Kingdom Dagan, who seemed to be enjoying himself somewhat, raised his voice.

''The Dwarf Kingdom also welcomes Princess Lilith-sama's accession to the Queen's throne!

...... oys and the Beastie Confederacy agree.

In addition, even the Dwarf Kingdom and the Beastmen's Confederacy would be in favor of it.

For Volos, a bolt out of the blue could be said to be this very moment and place.

Volos was so surprised that he forgot to breathe, and Lilith took over as the hostess.

''Queen Elf Kingdom, Dwarf Kingdom, and Beastmen Confederacy are in favor. The Dragonborn (Dragon Newt) Empire is .......

...... abstain.

The Dragon Newt imperial diplomat was given full authority to be here, but he abstained, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

It's not a bad idea, but it seems to me that he remembers every detail of what was said and thinks that 'there is a sense of discomfort that we were outsmarted, but our priority is to bring the information back to our country.

This will determine the outcome of the trend.

Lilith declared with a victor-like smile.

''The Demon Kingdom is voted down. The Elf Queen Nation, the Dwarf Kingdom, and the Beastmen Confederacy vote in favor. The Empire of the Dragon Men (Dragon Newt) abstains. I hereby declare that the current King of the Racial Kingdom is hereby abolished and I, Lilith, am hereby enthroned as Queen of the Racial Kingdom.

It was the sound of a calm girl's voice, but she already has the dignity of a queen of a country - no, the weighty words filled with determination spread to the audience.

(It's going completely as you planned. It was worth the effort of laying the groundwork.)

I whisper a little to myself.

Just hearing the confident sound of Lilith's voice is enough to make me realize that we are now witnessing a historical scene.

Volos, who has been completely eaten out of the main role by Queen Lilith, has finally recovered from his surprise and shouts out in anger.

'Nonsense!　What do you people think you're doing?　Why would I team up with this woman--?

But in the middle of his shouting, he realizes why the Elven Queen State, the Dwarven Kingdom, and the Beastman Confederacy support Lilith.

He turns his murderous gaze to the Elf Queen Nation, the Dwarven Kingdom, and the Beastmen Confederacy.

''You guys!　You've been seduced by a witch!

Those who couldn't keep up with the situation twisted their heads at Volos's point, but as expected, the young elites of the Majin Kingdom understood what he was trying to say.

Volos stared at the Elf Queen Nation, the Dwarf Kingdom, and the Beastman Confederacy in turn and pointed out as he spat out his killing intent.

''So the elves and beastmen were using force of arms, and the dwarves were gifting magic items or some kind of witchcraft skills to secure the promise of Queen Lilith's accession to the throne!

It's rude to instigate ...... I was only speaking to the nations in good faith. You can't make such a declaration without laying the groundwork for it beforehand. The whole thing is over from the moment it began - are you stupid enough to realize that now?

'Chuckle chuckle,' a mocking laugh at Volos could be heard from behind Queen Elf Kingdom Lief VII.

Leaf VII was as frightened by the laughter that echoed behind him as a young child would be by a ghost.

Volos, his pride hurt by being mocked himself, turned his gaze, but there was nothing more he could do.

Because the girl, letting out a small, mocking laugh, introduced herself.

''I'm sorry for the delay in greeting you. I'm the "Giant Tower Witch" that was on the agenda of this meeting just now. From now on, please get acquainted with me.
