Chapter 58: Clothes
'I should have thought about this.' Albert facepalmed, realizing he was still naive. He had never experienced something like this, so he didn't know what to expect from this world.
After a while, he thought, 'If I stay in the Lust Kingdom, I should be able to find all these horny people. If I become a villain, wouldn't it mean I can simply bonk them all and escape?
'But I don't know what I will do if all the people in the world chase after me. So, I will think about this later.
'I should think about how I should get more Bonk targets… I mean, I think I have experienced it all… From easily horny goblins, mating season, to a perverted town… If I go to the Pride Kingdom, after learning this way, I'm afraid those who stay in the Pride Kingdom will be extremely arrogant.
'That's why I might not have the opportunity to bonk more people. Hence, the best way to do this is to stay in the Lust Kingdom.
'But what if the succubus queen hunts me down personally? After all, my power is like the bane of their existence. I'm afraid this is not going to be a simple matter.
'How about the other deadly sins? Gluttony, Wrath, Envy, Sloth, or Greed? Gluttony loves to eat, right? But this one is related to the belly, not that kind of eating.
'As for Wrath… They must be like barbarians. I don't want to deal with them. Then, how about Envy? Ehm, they sound like someone troublesome.
'That leaves me Sloth and Greed. What the heck, Sloth? Will the entire kingdom become lazy? Or maybe they're just efficient enough to allow them to become lazy for the rest of the day? I don't know.
'Anyway, there is still Greed. It's to possess everything. Will they be horny if they have this kind of desire… Bonkey?'
[That depends on each person. Like Lustville Town, not everyone is a pervert. So, you might be able to find one or two perverts like them who are horny just because they love money or some possession.]
'What the heck?'
[You should remember that back in your world, there are many kinds of philia… They love the deceased, statues, or whatever.]
'That's… I can't deny it. Ugh. Maybe my target is either the Lust Kingdom or the Greed Kingdom.' Albert looked down, contemplating his choice. 'For now, I can't do anything to these horny people… Maybe I should have become an assassin so I could bonk them stealthily?
'Yeah. That might be an option, but for now, I need to retreat. Maybe I will talk about this with Yale to know where we should go… Yeah, that's the best.' Albert let out a long sigh.
He wasn't even mad with Lilith anymore because he knew Lilith had provided the best place to bonk people.
However, he still wanted to bonk Lilith because he couldn't help but smile when thinking how the succubus queen would act like a holy maiden or something. Of course, it would be a hard thing to do as he needed medication to do that, so this was his plan in the long run.
For now, he returned to the inn with an excited mood, thinking about the future prospect.
When he reached his room, Yale came to him once again.
"Albert… Do you want to accompany me to the meeting? We can bring at least two attendants to the meeting, so I'm thinking about bringing you too." Yale asked politely.
"The meeting?" Albert widened his eyes, never expecting to get such an invitation.
"Yes. The meeting is between four kingdoms: Lust, Pride, Gluttony, and Wrath. So, yeah, you may be able to meet all those important people if you come with me. At the same time, I can tell them that you're under my protection." Yale explained his reasoning.
"But…" Albert looked down as he wanted to refrain himself, considering he had attacked Lilith. It would be troublesome if she decided to have her revenge there.
However, Yale added something that changed his mind. "Actually, Her Majesty Lilith asked me to bring you there. She promises that she won't mention your past aggression and even stop bullying me.
"So, yeah… This is just my selfishness. If you think this is not appropriate, you're free to turn down this offer. I have no intention in forcing you to come with me just for my own benefit."
Seeing Yale so sincere, Albert couldn't help but smile. "Thank you, Yale. I will surely come. After all, I have indeed hit her. If attending this meeting can let me off the hook, I will gladly do it."
"Really? Thank you so much, Albert!" A big smile appeared on Yale's face as his anxiety disappeared from his heart. "I also need to prepare clothes for you. Let's go to the boutique right now. Let's get you a formal suit."
"Ehm, will that even suit me?" Albert looked away with an annoyed expression.
"I don't think so. So, I am planning to dress you like a warrior. This can be done too."
"Oh? I will take that offer then. But I don't have money."
"Don't worry. I have been given money for this expenditure, so the kingdom is the one buying the clothes. Hahaha." Yale laughed and grabbed Albert's hand, pulling him.
"Alright." Albert smiled as he followed Yale to the boutique.
Yale immediately picked many clothes, asking Albert to put them on. However, there was one thing that suited him the most.
It was a gray shirt coupled with long black pants and a long black robe that covered his body. He even picked a pair of boots and gloves for him.
The boots were black to match the robe's color and the gloves only covered his palm and the back of it, allowing his fingers to be free.
While dressing, Albert thought, 'So, it's okay to wear this, Bonkey?'
[Yes. Unlike the previous one, this is not considered armor because the clothes don't have the strength to block an attack just like your normal t-shirt and jeans.]
'I see. Well, it's sad to know that the clothes can't protect me, but I should get the equipment I deserve in the near future, right?'
[Of course. You need to be a Warrior first to do that.]
'Oh? Is there something like a map where I can see all the future projects?'
[No. I have been assigning you all these things to make sure that the current mission suits your power. After all, I am here to support you, not send you to death.]
'Ah, so cute. Thanks, Bonkey.' Albert smiled inwardly.
[You're welcome.]
After getting the clothes, Yale and Albert returned to the inn. Yale tried to get a conversation with Albert on the way to the inn.
"By the way, there are four things that I need to tell you about the meetings." Yale raised four fingers and looked at him with a serious expression.
"Sure. Please tell me."
"First, you should be polite. You don't need to kneel or anything, but you might want to bow your head for a bit to politely greet them. If they try to embarrass you, I will step in."
"That's easy." Albert nodded. He didn't do something like this that often back on Earth, so he wasn't used to it, but he should have no problem doing it.
"Second, if they try to strike up a conversation, you should avoid talking too much. Just answer their question literally without giving much information about yourself and me. That way, they will leave you sooner or later."
"Got it." Albert nodded while thinking, 'I shouldn't have a problem in talking with them, right? I might even be able to find something about other kingdoms from them.'
"Third, I want you to be near Yennex all the time because I need to deal with other royalties. Yennex should be able to show and explain to you what you can and cannot do."
"Sure thing. He might hate me for taking you away, but he shouldn't want to embarrass me in front of them. After all, your reputation will be at stake this time." Albert nodded in agreement.
"Well, yeah. Despite all his actions, Yennex has been the one taking care of me this whole time. I know that he really cares for me, so if possible, don't hate him too much… He's just a bit too overprotective because of my condition."
"No problem. I can tolerate that much." Albert waved his hand as if it wasn't a big deal.
"Good. Lastly, be careful of Her Majesty Lilith… I'm afraid she's planning something. If you think I'm entranced by her appearance again, hit me again to wake me up. Make sure that you do it secretly."
"Got it. I will try." Albert nodded with a serious expression while adding inwardly, 'You asked to be bonked? Oh boy… What a wonderful request.'
"Well, that's all I want to say. Other than that, just be yourself. That will help me relax." Yale smiled.
"No problem. That's right. Maybe I should call you Prince Yale for this occasion. I don't want something like earlier to happen again, especially since there are other representatives."
"Now that I think about it, we should. The Wrath Representative will surely pick on you because of that, so yeah… Although I don't want to force you to do this because I'm also uncomfortable with it, I want to ask you to do so."
"Don't worry." Albert patted his shoulders a few times. "As long as you consider me as one, I don't mind acting for a day."
"Thank you, Albert."
"No problem."
After that, the two finally reached the inn and entered their respective rooms. Albert didn't hesitate to enjoy the soft bed that he got because Yale paid for the room as well.
"Sleeping on the grass was quite nice, but nothing can beat sleeping on a soft bed like this… I want to be rich." Albert muttered as he soon fell asleep.
Finally, the next day arrived, the day where he could meet face to face with other representatives of other kingdoms.
He walked right behind Yale as they entered the city hall. Yennex stayed right beside him, making sure Albert didn't do anything wrong in this situation.
When they entered the city hall, Albert was quite surprised to see the inside of the giant building located in the middle of the town.
The building itself had a spherical shape, making it look like a dome.
However, the moment they entered the building, it looked nothing like a dome. The corridor was tall and showed a little curve, but it soon disappeared and changed into a simple horizontal ceiling.
There was a succubus guiding them into the meeting room. It took them a while to reach the room, but when she opened it, there was only Lilith sitting there.
"Oh, you're early, Prince Yale." Lilith waved her hand casually, not caring about her image as the succubus queen. She asked the servant to show him his seat before sending her away.
"At least I'm not late." Yale shook his head helplessly before greeting her politely. "Thank you for your invitation today, Your Majesty. And I would like to apologize for showing you such embarrassing behavior yesterday."
"It's fine." She waved her hand, treating it as not a big deal. However, her heart was different from what she showed him right now.
If they looked at Yennex carefully, his eyes couldn't move away from Lilith. Even without Lilith releasing her power that could charm everyone like yesterday, it was enough to lock their gaze onto her.
But Yale and Albert were different. Yale maintained his calm composure and Albert completely thought of her as a merely beautiful woman.
It was at this moment that she confirmed Albert's uniqueness. She stared at Yale and asked seductively, "I wonder if Prince Yale has any thought about giving me your servant there? I can promise you that I won't treat him badly."
'What the heck? Horny go away!' Albert cursed inwardly.
