Chapter 337: Chapter 135 A Small Task

In the depths of the palace, the two finally met the Enchanting Demon Queen.

She had been lying in bed asleep, and Medea called to her several times as "Your Majesty" before barely managing to wake her up.

The Queen sat up from the bed, the blanket slid off her body, revealing... "Snap," Medea covered Aske’s eyes.

"Your method of censoring is a bit brutal," Aske complained telepathically.

"I was afraid you’d be enchanted by her," Medea said righteously, although Aske could sense her feeling guilty.

"Ahwo..." The Queen lazily stretched, emitting a catlike yawn, her captivating eyes turning to look over.

"My good daughter, you’ve finally come back," she said wearily, her voice soft and seductive, beguiling to the soul. Medea busied herself with dressing her.

Once she was dressed, Medea finally lowered her hand. Aske looked intently. Indeed, she was a ten-thousandfold better version of Medea... Whether it was facial beauty, figure, or the naturally enchanting aura, she far surpassed the "inexperienced" Medea.

If it weren’t for the extreme censorship back then, my dear Madam, the title of Manga King would never have gone to your daughter!

Sensing Aske’s thoughts, Medea narrowed her eyes, and her fingernails dug painfully into the palm of his hand. Aske’s eyes twitched slightly as he suppressed the pain, quickly restraining his initial amazement.

Catching Aske’s fleeting gaze of admiration, the mature Queen immediately threw a charming look imbued with extraordinary ability his way. Medea hurriedly extended her spirituality to block the incoming mind-reading attack.

"Hehe," the Queen’s gaze fell on their joined hands, a smile appearing instantly, "My good daughter, you really have been cured~"

"I haven’t been cured," Medea bluntly said, "I just found true love."

"True love?" The Queen blinked, her expression seemingly amused, "I couldn’t have heard wrong, could I? Marquina..."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Marquina said with a smile, "The Princess really did bring back her boyfriend."

"What’s his name?" asked the Queen.

"Aske Lepeios Achilles," Marquina replied.

"Ah, from that mixed Eastern and Western family," the Queen lightly tapped her chin with a tender finger, appearing cutely thoughtful, then gestured with her right hand, "Come over here, let me have a look."

"Your Majesty, can’t you see my face from this distance?" Aske asked without moving, his tone concerned, "Do you have a problem with your vision?"

His words echoed through the room,

Medea’s chin slowly dropped, Marquina’s mouth formed an ’O’, and the Queen’s seductive smile froze on her face, then... she began to laugh foolishly:

"Haha, Camellia, your little boyfriend sure is impolite."

"I use the name Medea outdoors," Medea said.

"Medea... That’s not a particularly good name," the Queen laughed, "That’s the name of a witch from the Second Epoch’s legends, who was heartlessly betrayed by true love."

Her seductive gaze turned back to Aske, softly asking, "So, will you be Jason, young Mr. Aske?"

Under her gaze, Aske once again felt as if he was on the verge of losing his composure, as if the Queen was not a stranger but someone he was exceedingly close to, so close that he felt compelled to reveal all his thoughts to her.

At the critical moment, Medea’s mind power once again worked effectively, pulling Aske back from the brink, while the opposing ability did not pursue further and was quickly retracted.

"Marquina, look at my daughter, all worried I’ll steal her boyfriend," the Queen feigned sadness, "Being feared by her own daughter to this extent, I really am a failure as a mother."

"It’s because Your Majesty underestimates your own beauty," Marquina also knew how to sweet-talk, "After all, being one of the most beautiful in the world, it’s understandable that the Princess might worry a little."

Aske: ......

In his past life, he had fought through Horse King instances, and Marquina hadn’t been encountered, but he had battled this Enchanting Demon Queen boss several times, where meetings led to immediate fights without knowing the Queen could be so talkative.

He furrowed his brows slightly, and the queen observed his reaction with a hint of growing interest. She had used countless disguises in the mortal world, but none could compare to her own unparalleled beauty.

The man before her, however, managed to quickly compose himself after his initial impression of amazement.

At the very least, when it came to willpower, he indeed deserved the R4 rating bestowed by the Church Court.

With this thought, the queen dropped her seductive demeanor and adopted a more serious expression, saying,

"Young man, although I have many children, they are not so easily approached by just anyone."

"Here’s the deal. If you can complete a small task for me, I will agree to give you Camellia’s hand in marriage. How does that sound?"

Aske: .......

Medea: .......

How did we suddenly start talking about marriage?!

"Cough." Aske coughed awkwardly, smartly avoiding the topic, "Your Majesty, Medea and I have come to request a Magic Potion needed for her advancement."

"Magic Potion?" The queen blinked her eyes, "Doesn’t the Achilles family, known generation after generation as ’Weapon Masters,’ have its own reserves of Magic Potions?"

"It’s not for me," Aske said. "It’s for Medea."

The queen’s youthful and pretty face showed a moment of surprise, then she burst into a light giggle:

"What’s the matter, young man? Would you rather not marry my adorable Camellia, and instead just help her level up?"

"Your Majesty," Marquina interjected from the side, "His Highness mentioned earlier that her fear of men has not yet healed; she has merely become less resistant to Mister Aske alone."

"That means, unless it’s a Platonic spiritual marriage, Camellia can only marry him in this lifetime."

"Hmm." The queen pondered for a moment, "Indeed... However, as a parent, I’m well within my rights to disapprove of your union."

"Your Majesty," Marquina added, "It’s said that Aske’s Mercenary Group is filled with many young beauties; Your Highness is not the only option for his spouse."

"Hmm?" The queen’s gaze towards Aske suddenly contained a mix of skepticism, admiration, and... eagerness.

Medea sighed. There was no mistaking it; the look in the queen’s eyes was one of "admiration for a junior in the same craft." If Medea weren’t here, the Enchanting Demon Queen might very well have sent Marquina away and invited him to share his equine breeding expertise in her bed.

"I simply chose female members for my team initially because they were the right fit at the time," Aske explained helplessly, though the excuse sounded quite implausible.

"Yes, there’s nothing impure about the relationship between Aske and the other team members," Medea also chimed in to clarify.

Upon hearing this, the queen and Marquina’s expressions toward Aske changed yet again, blending curiosity, confusion, and... pity.

This young man had assembled a large harem, yet maintained only pure friendships with the other members?

Could it be that he had some unspeakable difficulties in that regard?

"In any case, if you don’t wish to marry Camellia and only want the Magic Potion, that’s fine as well." The queen’s eyes boldly scanned him, roaming suggestively below, "I have the same proposal... help me with a small task."

"Speak, Your Majesty," Aske nodded.

"You’re aware of the conflict between Emperor Otto of the Holy Solomon Empire and the Church Court, aren’t you?" The queen asked with a light chuckle.

"A bit," Aske replied.

"When you have the opportunity to come into contact with Otto in the future, carefully investigate everyone around him," the Enchanting Demon Queen’s gaze suddenly sharpened.

"Find the person who has long been continuously influencing Otto’s mind, leading him to ultimately become an adversary of the Church Court."
