Chapter 540
Originally, Albedo went to the Wang Gong in accordance with Ainz's instructions, preparing to make contact with the Third Prince of the Kingdom in the plan.
But because Shengzai was not in the Wang Gong at that time, the person Albedo finally saw was Princess Renner, who was staying in Shengzai's room.
At the first sight of Princess Renner, Albedo discovered that the human in front of her was simply a good seedling born to be a demon.
And after some contact, Albedo also discovered that this "Golden Princess" of the Kingdom, except for not being very good in terms of force, was not inferior to the Kingdom's genius Third Prince in other aspects.
"Lord Ainz, I think if it is not smooth to win over that Third Prince of the Kingdom, trying to win over this 'Golden Princess' is also a good choice.
And facing my recruitment, she also gave corresponding conditions, indicating that if we can give her what she wants, it is not impossible for her to assist us in secret."
Hearing Albedo's words, Ainz couldn't help but have a little interest in this "Golden Princess," so he immediately asked: "Oh, what does she want?"
"She wants us to help her change her own bloodline, and if we occupy the Kingdom, others can be killed, including her father and two brothers born of the same mother.
But that Third Prince of the Kingdom, Shengzai, she hopes we will reward him to her."
After listening to Albedo's words, Ainz finally understood why Albedo said the other party was a good seedling to be a demon.
"Changing her own bloodline, this point is not difficult. Just use magic items to transfer her to other races.
She wants to change her bloodline because she feels that being a human is too weak? But the change of race, although it can raise the upper limit, cannot change her talent."
"No, that Princess wants to change her bloodline from the root, just to change her relationship with the Third Prince of the Kingdom, because she..."
When seeing Albedo's flushed expression, Ainz knew what the other party wanted to say.
And seeing Aura and Ma Xiu, who were still children, also looking here curiously, Ainz hurriedly reached out to interrupt Albedo's words.
Aura and Ma Xiu were still children, so they couldn't hear such bad topics.
That "Golden Princess" of the Kingdom was even crazier than he imagined!
Yandere? Maybe she and Shalltear might get along unexpectedly well.
At the same time, on the side of the Kingdom's Wang Gong, in order to celebrate the success of this Royal Capital defense battle, the Kingdom also specially held a celebration banquet and invited the adventurers who made contributions this time.
Today, Renner, Lakyus, and the others were all dressed up to attend this banquet.
"One of the biggest contributors this time, 'Dark Momon' and the others didn't come."
As Adamantite-ranked adventurers, Lakyus was also quite interested in the "Dark Duo." She originally wanted to take advantage of this banquet to get to know them, but who knew that Marquis Raeven said they had something to do and returned to E-Rantel first.
"Never mind Dark Momon, Shengzai, this Third Prince of the Kingdom, why haven't I seen him since just now? Could it be that he is flirting with some noble girls over there?"
"As for the Third Royal Brother, I just saw him indeed surrounded by quite a few noble girls."
"Crack——————!"
As soon as Renner's voice fell, the red wine glass in Lakyus's hand was "accidentally" crushed directly by her.
And seeing this interesting scene, Renner showed a playful look and added: "But I saw Royal Brother Shengzai refuse the dance invitations of those noble girls and turn to walk toward the Second Royal Brother."
Lakyus: "(*`へ*) Renner, the quality of these wine glasses in the Wang Gong is really poor.
My strength has only improved a little recently, and I accidentally used a little too much force, and this glass actually shattered."
Lakyus looked at the shattered red wine glass in her hand, wiped it with a handkerchief, and then pretended to be calm and picked up a new glass of red wine.
"Royal Brother Shengzai looking for Royal Brother Zanac, I heard it's to discuss his life's major events. Maybe it's an engagement or something..."
"Crack——————!"
The red wine glass in Lakyus's hand shattered again, and seeing Renner looking at her with a playful look.
The middle-school boy could only bite the bullet and say: "The quality of this wine glass is really too poor."
On the other side, Shengzai, who was the object of Renner teasing Lakyus, actually found Zanac after politely declining many beautiful girls.
And looking at the Second Prince in front of him, Shengzai also went straight to the point: "Royal Brother Zanac, do you want to become the King of the Kingdom?"
Seeing Shengzai walking toward him, Zanac was originally full of confusion. In his memory, his relationship with this brother Shengzai couldn't be considered bad, but there was not much friendship either.
Thinking of what Marquis Raeven said before, and Shengzai's prestige in the Kingdom now, Zanac originally wanted to be polite to Shengzai to get on good terms.
But who knew that Shengzai almost scared him to death just after opening his mouth.
"Hell Abyss" had already been used, and now Albedo was hesitating whether to release the energy stored within it.
"It's just the literal meaning. If Royal Brother Zanac has no thoughts about the throne of the Kingdom, then it can only be me who becomes the King.
Father is already old now, and having lost his courage, he has already hindered the development of the Kingdom in many decisions."
Shengzai's blunt words really almost scared Zanac silly.
Because Shengzai's words, to others, were almost no different from saying he wanted to rebel.
Because he didn't know whether the words Shengzai said now were a sincere inquiry or if he was tricking him into making a mistake, so for a while, Zanac didn't know how to answer.
Looking at Shengzai in front of him, Zanac's heart was also struggling very much at this moment. If he denied it, then Shengzai might logically join the competition for the throne.
And if he directly expressed affirmation and admitted his ambition, would Shengzai just be testing him to frame him for having the intention to rebel?
After hesitating for a short while, Zanac finally opened his mouth: "I do want to become the heir to this Kingdom and make the Kingdom more prosperous and powerful."
Zanac figured it out. Since he decided to be the King, he must have corresponding courage and spirit. If he didn't even dare to admit his ambition, then what kind of King was he?
"Very good, Royal Brother Zanac. Hearing you say this, I am also very happy, because if you refuse, then it can only be me who becomes the King.
And the identity of King is really not suitable for me, so next I will do my best to help you ascend to the throne.
But correspondingly, I also hope you can agree to some of my conditions."
Hearing Shengzai's words, Zanac was overjoyed, because if Shengzai was willing to help him, then the matter of him getting the throne was almost a certainty.
