Overlord: I’ve Been Recruiting Followers in Another World

Seeing the Dragon Princess's true form, Kael couldn't conceal the astonishment in his eyes.

Her long black hair cascaded like a waterfall to her waist, embracing a proud figure clad in a high-slit black skirt. Her ample upper curves reached a level no man could ignore.

A truly stunning royal elder sister.

Kael silently assessed her in his heart, a faint smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

Although the Dragon Princess typically maintained the guise of a young girl, it was merely a tactic to evoke her people's protective instincts, thereby garnering and controlling their support.

Even with the bloodline of a True Dragon King, a Dragon Princess's lifespan would be far longer than an ordinary human's, yet she didn't seem to have transformed into a dragon. She remained of human genus, likely with a strong draconic lineage.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!?"

Witnessing the Dragon Princess's true appearance, all the members of Crystal Tear were dumbfounded. The most profoundly affected was their leader, Sevelare Brise Alderan.

Sevelare had always been fond of the Dragon Princess, but his inclination was towards the Dragon Princess in her young girl form—he was a lolicon.

Suddenly seeing Draudillon's adult body, he felt utterly disoriented. He experienced a déjà vu, as if his beloved internet girl had turned out to be a man who enjoyed plucking leg hairs.

The only one who managed to maintain his composure was Chancellor Leina Herman, as he already knew the Dragon Princess's true appearance.

"Surprised you, Your Excellency of Destiny?" Draudillon noticed the change in Kael's expression, curving her crimson lips into an arc, and asked with a smile.

Kael didn't hide it. He smiled and nodded, "Indeed. You must be the most beautiful woman I've ever seen."

"Thank you for your praise, which I receive with great honor."

Draudillon closed her eyes slightly, bowed respectfully to Kael and expressed her gratitude. Rising, she looked directly into his eyes and said, "Your Excellency, we are here to ascertain the extent of the power you plan to provide to aid our nation."

"Of course, even if you assist us out of kindness and seek no reward, we will not forget your benevolence and are willing to express our gratitude."

As expected of a queen, she spoke with great fluidity and pleasantness.

Kael couldn't help but show a hint of approval on his face, gazing at Draudillon with immense satisfaction.

"Herman."

"Yes!"

Immediately thereafter, Draudillon gestured to the Chancellor.

Leina Herman, having received the instruction, rose from the ground, took a piece of cloth from his sleeve and handed it to Draudillon, saying, "Your Majesty, this is a small token from our nation, please take a look."

Enri Emmot, who was beside them, glanced at Kael's reaction and noticed that after he nodded to her, she stepped forward to take the scroll from Leina Herman's hand and passed it to Kael.

Kael took the gift list while extracting a translation device from his backpack to examine its contents.

The contents of the gift list were nothing out of the ordinary, merely a quantity of property, several magical items, and a dozen servants.

The first two things were not easy to evaluate, but in the end, Kael had reason to suspect that the Draconic Kingdom had investigated him, and that the news might have leaked from Enri Emmot and the others.

Truly audacious.

Silently shaking his head, Kael took out his magic pen and added something to the gift list, then gestured for Enri Emmot to return the gift list to Draudillon along with the translation lens.

"Your Majesty Oriculus, don't concern yourself with gifts. Since I promised to help your Draconic Kingdom, I certainly won't be frugal. As long as you need it, all personnel of the Church of Destiny will cooperate fully."

Hearing Kael's generous assurance, Draudillon was briefly surprised, but she quickly replied calmly, "Thank you very much then."

As she spoke, the gift list, which Kael had modified, was handed over to Draudillon.

She took it from Enri Emmot, and when she opened it, she found that the added content within was text she did not recognize.

Since she had seen Kael using the translation glasses earlier, she wasn't surprised by this, and read what Kael had written using the translation device.

Moments later, an expression of astonishment appeared on her face, and she glanced at Kael with a hint of disbelief.

Responding to her expression was Kael's faint smile.

Draudillon's eyes immediately returned to the gift list, and she couldn't settle for a while.

After some time, she casually handed the gift list to Leina Herman beside her, but she kept the translation device herself. Leina Herman couldn't help but feel a little perplexed by the unusual behavior.

At this moment, Kael, who was seated on the throne, opened his mouth and asked Draudillon, "Lunchtime is almost upon us, Your Majesty Oriculus, are you interested in having lunch with me?"

This was clearly meant to be discussed separately.

Leina Herman glanced at Kael without leaving a trace, then his eyes shifted to Draudillon's body, and a questioning gaze was very clear.

However, as if not noticing his movements, Draudillon gracefully bowed respectfully to Kael and said with a slight smile, "It would be my honor, Your Excellency of Destiny."

"Excellent then."

Kael smiled and nodded, then turned to Enri Emmot and said, "Enri, you are responsible for entertaining everyone from the Draconic Kingdom. Don't lose face for us."

"Yes, God Kael."

Enri Emmot received his command respectfully, and then approached Leina Herman and the others, "Gentlemen, please follow me."

Confronted with Enri Emmot's invitation, Leina Herman and the others, appearing hesitant, sought instructions from Draudillon with their eyes.

"Go."

Draudillon gave the command to her entourage as if nothing had happened.

Although Leina Herman harbored some concerns, it was not good to disobey Draudillon's orders on such an occasion. After bowing, everyone followed Enri Emmot out of the hall along with Crystal Tear.

At this moment, Kael also rose from his seat and came to Draudillon's side, "Your Majesty, please."

"Please."

Draudillon responded very politely.

The two then walked out of the hall side by side and entered the corridor leading to the royal palace dining room, heading towards their destination.

Whether intentional or not, Kael didn't walk too quickly, as if he was waiting for Draudillon to question him.

After walking some distance, Draudillon still couldn't hold back and asked him, "Your Excellency, are the conditions you put forth serious?"

"Haha, of course. I wouldn't joke about this matter."

Kael replied with a smile.
