11. Round Table Conference

Although she left us with a harsh remark of “You will regret this!” directed at Louis IV and us, this is the territory of the Great Yīng Empire, and the people from the church didn’t do anything strange in the following days. Naturally… it seems they are trying to ensure that the clueless saintess doesn’t notice anything, as she still showed no intention of appearing during the days leading up to the arrival of representatives from other countries in the Great Yīng Empire.

However, the dangerous scripts did not disappear, which means: that archbishop must be “prepared” and intends to “use it” on the day of the summit to make us “regret”!

How exactly we are supposed to “regret” wasn’t stated in the script, and I could only grit my teeth and agree to the queen’s “request,” ensuring that Euclid “clears his name successfully” no matter what.

These tense days continued until the most formal event between the nations—the summit of the nations—began on the day in the royal city of the Great Yīng Empire! Since the nations are currently maintaining peaceful relations, the “summit of the nations,” being the most formal exchange meeting, naturally brought all the heads of state from other countries on the continent to attend!

With several days of arrivals, the specially prepared super-large round table conference hall for the summit is now fully occupied!

“Hmm~ it seems like that’s everyone.”

As the host, Queen Louie IV was sitting at the very front. To be honest, I wasn’t good at dealing with situations where everyone around was a boss-level character, all facing potential death scripts, but Kephir, as Queen Louie IV’s attendant, stood beside me behind her. Since I had to keep a close eye on the topic of the “Oujili De Wanted Order,” I could only brace myself and endure.

“Moriarty, go ensure the safety outside. Remember… if something happens, don’t rush in immediately to cause a ruckus. Wait for my command before taking action.”

The queen’s final “serious” tone was used to instruct Professor Moriarty to leave, and then… a brilliant smile, just like a popular idol, returned to her face as she looked at the packed venue, clapped her hands, and raised her voice!

The summit of nations begins! Naturally, this also meant… the arrival of dangerous scripts.

“Ahem~ Good morning everyone~ Although we are all dear friends here, I’ll still formally introduce myself again~ I am Queen Louie IV of the Great Yinyang Empire~ and also the organizer and initiator of this summit. I hope that in your Upcoming proposals, you won’t make things too difficult for me~”

In such a formal occasion, it felt like Her Majesty the Queen had thickened her skin more than usual. Over there, Letty clearly let out a sound of disapproval, but Louie IV pretended not to hear it, maintaining her innocent idol smile.

“However, before we start the parliamentary content, I have something slightly more relaxed to announce. We can’t start off with a tense atmosphere, right~ So what I want to say is… ta-da~”

As she spoke, Louie IV stepped aside a bit for Kephir, and almost all eyes focused on her. Even Kephir couldn’t hold it together, nervously clutching her skirt.

“I believe everyone already knows my beautiful and capable cousin Kephir~ In fact… according to our common evaluation standards, recently Kephir has even effortlessly broken through the standard of the seventh tier~ clap clap clap~”

After using her voice to replace the applause, Louie IV continued towards the nearly overwhelmed Kephir, “But I thought, I can’t always have my dear cousin appear as a powerful figure, so starting recently, I will gradually introduce her to everyone~ Kephir, let Wang Jie introduce you one by one.”

At first, I was a bit confused about why the queen was bringing Kephir out, but as the script unfolded, I quickly realized.

[Queen Louie IV is introducing the attendees for Oujili De.]

The queen was using Kephir’s identity to familiarize me with these bosses attending the summit! However, when I looked at the queen, she was already continuing on her own, ignoring my feelings.

“Kephir, first over here, you should be quite familiar with this person, the Emperor of the Rosian Empire where you studied—Emperor Ivan Letty~ And beside Emperor Letty is the King of the Elven Kingdom of Pulus, Miss Aidefu.”

The two lolis being introduced completely ignored Queen Louie IV’s words, as their unbreakable alliance was still embroidered in a quarrel over the previous “Who slept in my room” incident. Aidefu slammed her dagger on the table, and Letty even propped her legs up on the table. This scene seemed to be a common sight at the summit, as no one said anything.

“Then over here are two unexpected guests, orc envoys representing the Austro-Hungarian tribe in place of their chief.”

According to the queen’s intel, the Austro-Hungarian tribe also supported the cancellation of the Oujili De Wanted Order this time and expressed they would send people over. This could be considered an unexpected gain from the previous experience of the Pulus Kingdom, as long as these two orcs didn’t cause trouble.

After all, when Grom saw me, he nearly shouted out loud, thankfully, he was stopped by Gu Erdan beside him, who still had some sense.

“The next one is the Grand Leader of the Meri United Kingdom.”

“Hey! Baby~”

A bespectacled woman in a suit greeted Kephir, ugh, how annoying. What are you looking at?!

But I had no time to feel jealous, as the next appearance also brought the arrival of dangerous scripts, telling me that the first day of the summit could not end so easily and pleasantly.

“And now, we have the Archbishop of the Church, along with the saintess making her first appearance outside the Church~”

“Yaho! Hello everyone!”

Saintess Ikusis was still foolishly greeting everyone, but the dark glare from the Archbishop behind her already indicated the emergence of a dangerous script!

[The Archbishop of the Church is prepared!]

[The Oujili De Wanted Order cannot be revoked, reputation worsens!]

[Queen Louie IV’s position is under attack!]

Indeed, some things simply cannot be avoided. Even though Queen Louie IV had successfully delayed until now, the completely oblivious saintess was still foolishly being used by the Archbishop behind her to gain prestige.

“Ahem, Your Highness the Saintess, I think we should start quickly. Let’s skip the introductions, Great Yinyang Empire Queen, please do not delay time casually.”

Facing the unwavering smile of Louis IV, the Archbishop spoke on behalf of the Saintess.

“We have come here for the treachery of the despicable goddess, Oquilid! I wonder, no matter how much you delay, you must answer this question today, right? Why do you and several other kingdoms want to ignore the prophecy made by our Church’s Saintess and openly decide to let Oquilid, this wicked and harmful charlatan, go free!?”
