Chapter 54 - Like an Oshirasu Trial Court

 Oshirasu: refers to the open-air court room or the space in front of the magistrate's office in the Edo period of Japan, where trials and judgements were publicly carried out.

◆

We teleported; Lespar traveled by foot or horse. This difference in travel methods created a decisive gap in arrival times, giving us several days of leeway before he returned to the capital.

I wanted to use all that extra time for sex... but I couldn't, so I diligently gathered evidence to accuse Lespar.

Based on the testimony of his former aide, Martha, we secured physical evidence of his contact with the criminal organization, the Assassin's Guild. We also obtained undeniable proof that Lespar himself orchestrated the fabricated crime of Suppapan, the heir apparent, to make it look like he attempted to assassinate the Queen.

There were various other unproven charges, and if we combined everything, there was enough material to easily send him to prison for life.

Just as we had made perfect preparations, Lespar returned with a pompous air, as if in triumph. He then sought an audience with the Queen.

◆

"Aunt! No, Your Majesty! This Lespar has splendidly overcome the given trial and returned!"

"That is for me to judge. You have brought back the Flame Spirit's treasure, as instructed, have you not?"

Martha and I hid in the shadows of the audience chamber, holding our breath and observing the situation.

The conspirator Lespar must have believed we had died in the volcanic region. The time to surprise him with his grave mistake would be when his wicked deeds were exposed, and he could no longer make excuses.

Unaware of the creeping hell, Lespar grandiosely recounted a non-existent heroic tale, appealing to the Queen for his efforts.

"The volcanic region was... an unimaginably treacherous demonic land...! Exploding magma, attacking flame aberrations. In that difficulty, my subordinate knights, and even Sao, who accompanied me by Your Majesty's command, fell victim and perished...!"

Such barefaced lies.

I wanted to jump out and smack that idiot's head right then, but I held back.

If I was going to knock him down, it would do more damage from a higher place.

"But I pressed on...! To turn back then would nullify the feelings of my sacrificed comrades! The conviction entrusted to me by them gave me strength! That is why I was able to bravely face and defeat the Flame Spirit I confronted in the deepest part...!"

His storytelling was truly convincing, especially the tall tales. Was he born a braggart? Is his "Divine Calling" perhaps "Swindler"?

"The Flame Spirit I encountered was a terrifying dragon enveloped in fearsome flames! Its fiery claws brushed against my body, and a single blow could have been fatal! Still, I did not retreat! To protect my pride as royalty, and my oath with my comrades!"

"Mmhmm."

The Queen's interjections were casual.

"And finally, I found a momentary opening, and with a mighty swing, my sword struck the flame spirit's forehead! A direct hit to its vital spot! The spirit, its forehead split, writhed in agony, and seeing my chance, I delivered a second blow aimed at its throat!"

"Oh?"

"That proved to be the fatal blow, and I somehow managed to defeat the Flame Spirit! I then extracted the treasure, 'Pyro Stigma,' from its remains and have returned."

"The 'Pyro Stigma' from the spirit's corpse?"

The Queen stopped her casual interjections at the crucial part.

"Indeed! Your Majesty's words before my departure, 'You will know what the treasure is the moment you see it,' I certainly understood them the instant I saw it! Such a magnificent crimson jewel, truly worthy of being called a treasure!"

Lespar said that and produced a box adorned with elaborate decorations.

"The 'Pyro Stigma' is meticulously preserved here! Your Majesty's desired treasure, please examine it!"

Lespar said and opened the lid of the box.

For him, it must have been a moment of glory...

Inside the opened box was just ash.

About a handful.

"Whaaaat!?!?!?!"

"For such shabby ash to be a treasure, your judgment criteria are quite low, aren't they?"

She said sarcastically.

"No way!? The contents were replaced sometime!? Wait, Aunt! I'll confirm it now...!"

"What you brought back was merely a Guardian's flame core."

"Flame, core...?!"

"The Flame Spirit releases duplicate bodies, imbued with its power, to automatically repel intruders. These are the cores that allow them to maintain their form. They certainly glow red like rubies and appear valuable."

The Queen let out a sinister chuckle.

"But ultimately, they are temporary creations materialized by the spirit's power. Once they leave the Flame Sanctuary, the spirit's power is no longer supplied, and they crumble to ash within a few days. Even if that weren't the case, they are not the 'Pyro Stigma' in the end, so your failure is decided."

"Aunt! Wait...!?"

"You, who could not fulfill the task I gave you, cannot inherit the throne. What a shame."

At the Queen's cold notification, Lespar's victorious composure vanished, and he panicked.

"Aunt, another chance! This time, I will snatch the 'Pyro Stigma' from the Flame Spirit!"

"Did you think that saying 'it was a mistake, let me try again' would be permitted for a King's judgment? Your resolve to be a King is only that much. I cannot possibly entrust the country to you with peace of mind."

With the Queen showing no mercy or compassion, Lespar's panic accelerated even further.

"But! Since Suppapan has committed a crime, there should be no one else but me! I am the only one who can succeed Your Majesty and become the new king! Since there are no other options, aren't you forced to give me a chance, no matter what!?"

"............"

"Moreover... if you abandon me here, you will be trampling on the feelings of my subordinates who died in the volcano, and Sao! Please, do not close off my path to kingship, so as not to make their sacrifice meaningless...!!"

"Those two who were sacrificed are..."

Oh?

Is it our turn?

"...those two right there?"

"Huh?"

The Queen gave the go-ahead!

Here we go!

Martha and I, who had been hidden in the shadows of the audience chamber, burst out. The moment he saw us, Lespar's eyes widened so much they almost popped out of his head.

"Noooooo! Why!? You two were supposed to be dead!?"

"...!"

"Idiot!"

Martha, upon appearing, delivered a straight punch to Lespar's handsome face. Lespar took the hit squarely and was sent flying.

"Martha, calm down! Are you going too hard right from the start!?"

"...You villain! Are you using me even after I'm dead?!"

I couldn't possibly say, "But you're not actually dead, so it's fine." I can more than guess the intensity of Martha's anger at being betrayed.

"He's my favorite, you know? His tenacity is also top-notch, you underestimated him."

"No way...! No way...!?"

"While cleverly feigning death to deceive you, he also secretly rescued, Martha, who is a decisive witness to your wickedness."

"!?"

At those words, Lespar's body froze.

Hya-ha, it's finally time for judgment.

"Based on her testimony, all physical evidence of your misdeeds has been seized. Proof that you conspired with the Assassin's Guild, had me attacked, and pinned the blame on Suppapan. While you were lazily making your way back, your life's thread was cut."

"No, Aunt! This is... yes, a conspiracy! To frame me...!?"

"I told you I seized undeniable evidence that won't allow such excuses. You're refusing to accept your fate poorly."

Guards approached from the side and grabbed Lespar's arms. He was no longer royalty, but a criminal to be judged.

"A fool of a man, like his father, Lespar. You were clearly leading Suppapan in the succession struggle, but to make such blunders with petty schemes. However, it was fortunate for me to know your base true nature before formally designating you as my successor."

"Let go! I am the man who will be king! I am king! I am king!! King! Nooooooo!"

Lespar's final death cry was a completely pathetic one, befitting his idiocy.

In the audience chamber, after the filth had been swept out, Martha knelt and bowed her large frame.

"Martha?"

"My eyes were completely clouded, to revere and adore such a foolish person as my lord! Not only that, my crime of falling for the fool's plot and sending assassins to Her Majesty cannot be erased! Please, send me to the guillotine along with that man!"

No, it's not even decided that Lespe\ar will be guillotined yet, is it?

...Is it?

In response, the Queen replied...

"You were merely deceived by Lespar, weren't you?"

"Even if I was deceived, releasing me without punishment would not uphold the strictness of the law! Please, inflict punishment upon me for breaking the rules and confusing the succession issue!"

"Even so..."

The Queen made no attempt to hide her obvious annoyance...

"My head aches over what to do about this succession issue. I don't want to think about anything else, so an acquittal, and that's that."

"No way!?"

Martha was shocked by her casualness.

...The succession issue is difficult?

"Both Suppapan and Lespar are disqualified as successors. Lespar, for committing a crime, of course, but Suppapan, too, cannot be entrusted with the country if he is so easily ideologically manipulated and ensnared in conspiracies. He fails purely due to lack of ability."

"Indeed...!?"

"But I can't just leave things as they are. I am not immortal, after all. At this rate, I'll have to re-select from more distant royal relatives, but then the weakness of their foundation becomes a concern...!?"

Her casualness is concerning, but she is still the Queen, highly praised as a wise ruler.

The rise of a dark ruler could lead directly to the downfall of the nation, so she genuinely seemed troubled.

"Truthfully, the best way would be for me to bear an heir myself, but why am I not granted one? If only that could be achieved, everything would be at peace...?"

I vaguely remember hearing somewhere that royal families, to prevent their bloodline from dying out, encouraged inbreeding, and a side effect of that was a decline in reproductive capacity.

Speaking of which, Suppapan's wife also lamented not conceiving a child, and the cause seemed to be with her husband, Suppapan.

Are royal families in this world also plagued by such problems?

"Your Majesty."

"What is it? Oh, I haven't even offered you two words of gratitude yet. Your work this time was splendid..."

"If you don't mind, why don't we try to create an heir together?"

"Hmm?"

"I think I can get Your Majesty pregnant."

After all, I have the [Pole Master] skill, [Impregnation Switch].

Normally, I use it on (Off) to cum freely inside vaginas, but conversely, if I switch it to (On), it's a terrifying skill that can cause 100% pregnancy.

With this skill, I might be able to deliver a stork to Her Majesty's belly.

Suppapan's wife had the same idea, so why hadn't I realized it until now?

"What, Sao, you possessed such a convenient skill!? Indeed, if I myself become pregnant, that would be the best! Very well, Sao and Martha, let us go to the bedchamber at once!"

"Eh? Me too!?"

Decisive action is the quality of a ruler.

As soon as the Queen entered the bedchamber, she immediately stripped off all her clothes and spread her legs to welcome me.

I made sure the switch was (On), then inserted, piston-ed, and ejaculated. I poured 100% pregnancy-inducing semen into the Queen's vagina.

"Ohhh❤️❤️!! What, what is thissss❤️❤️!! It's completely different from all the cum I've been cummed inside beforeee❤️❤️❤️❤️!!"

The Queen was melting and disheveled like never before.

"My pussy is bubbling with semen❤️❤️!! I can feel my pussy being violated and occupied!! My pussy is completely yours❤️❤️❤️❤️!!"

The Queen, gushing fluids, declared defeat to my dick.

"Sao❤️❤️!! Penetrate me more with your cock❤️❤️!! One vaginal ejaculation isn't enough!! Again and again and again and again and again❤️❤️!! Violate my pussy❤️❤️!! I'll definitely get pregnant❤️❤️!! My pussy will get pregnan❤️❤️t!!"

I should get her pregnant with just one shot, though.

Why do women who receive 100% pregnancy semen beg for more cum inside?

Is there something dangerous mixed in?

And as an aside, I also ejaculated inside Martha's vagina.

With the [Impregntion Switch] still (On).

"Ohhh❤️❤️!! Amazing, amazing, amazing❤️❤️!! This semen makes me submit!! It makes me realize I am a creature made to bear children❤️❤️❤️❤️!!"

...I didn't really need to get Martha pregnant, but I ended up impregnating her in the flow of things.

Well, whatever.

Even though she's acquitted, Martha needs a period to cool off from what she did.

Using that period for maternity leave would kill two birds with one stone.

Thus, by impregnating two mature women...

The Queen's Request Arc.
