The distance between the two of them had definitely narrowed compared to when Isabella was standing far away watching. She just had to take a few more steps and she would be in front of Wang Xiaole.

"Other than meetings with national politics, I have never had any face-to-face experience with the opposite sex. I only tremble when facing men..."

"You mean to say I look like a tomboy?"

The villain accused others first!

Clearly, Isabella's trembling reaction was related to Wang Xiaole, who was hiding his identity as a man. But he turned the topic around and threw it back at her.

"How am I a man? Where do I look like one? Standing in front of you, the Queen, I am a refined 'pig girl', definitely not a man. Hmph!"

Wang Xiaole had never wished for death so much before. Where did this person suddenly come from, handing him a tofu and making him bump into it on the spot?

As an ordinary otaku who had maintained his virginity for over ten years, on the first day he entered a different world, he had to give up his gender and emphasize his female (pretend) identity. This was a tragedy of a man pretending to be a woman!

"I didn't say you're a boy, so don't be so nervous. Relax."

The Queen was a bit too honest. She had countless times ruled the world and been idolized as the aspiration of all citizens. But no amount of external refinement and praise could change the fact that she lacked emotional intelligence. Compared to the "slick old pro" in front of her, she was always a bit lacking, and this time she was fooled by the other person's manipulations.

But well, good luck evading scrutiny each time wasn't guaranteed. If Isabella became suspicious next time, whether he could safely get through the ordeal remained unknown.

No one noticed that at this moment, Wang Xiaole's head was covered in cold sweat. The first crisis had only narrowly been survived.

The reason he couldn't honestly reveal his male identity was not only because Lucia was present, but also because of the troublesome rules set by Dibiles. Due to the lack of male citizens in Dibiles and the consolidation of the entire country's territory into a single giant city, Wang Xiaole called it the "Daughter City". For unmarried men, this place was undoubtedly a utopian paradise. A hundred years ago, there were men who illegally entered and sneaked into residents' homes to steal lingerie and panties (surprisingly, none of them did anything bolder). With thieves running rampant, the residents no longer wore panties. At that time, many girls in the country went out with nothing underneath, creating beautiful scenes when the wind lifted their skirts. The previous generation of rulers, considering that if this situation continued, their plans to invite their close female friends for pajama parties and show off their taste in royal panties would be in vain...ahem, scratch that! This part must be deleted from the historical records. Only those gods who didn't need to worry about salary and retirement would collect all kinds of gossip from the mortal world, and Freya was no exception (in other words, Freya's age has already----) Anyway! The previous empress enacted an important rule that strictly limited the "illegal entry" of foreign citizens. This restriction was written into law, making it almost impossible to see a man with an "armstrong cannon" in the city. These men were all non-human races and most of them only stayed in the city for a short period of time without any plans for long-term residence. The regulation was clearly written on paper: anyone who enters the territory of Dibiles without legal procedures, regardless of race, once discovered, will be sentenced to imprisonment for less than fifty years and fined, with "no wife" punishment. The so-called "no wife" punishment referred to the application of certain inhumane magic on the prisoner, causing the other person's "armstrong cannon" to lose its function, equivalent to the "chemical castration" in Wang Xiaole's original world. For cases of severe offenses (including disguising one's male identity in front of the royal family and subsequently being exposed), physical castration would be directly carried out upon confirmation. Obviously, if Wang Xiaole was discovered to be a boy by someone, he would undoubtedly suffer unimaginable treatment.Even if he confesses now, it would only change from "being caught red-handed" to "confession leniency", and the punishment will not be light.

"I must not be discovered, absolutely not!" Wang Xiaole secretly vowed in his heart.

"Speaking of which," Isabella suddenly shifted her gaze to Lucia, causing Wang Xiaole to instinctively move and stand in front of her.

"Your Majesty, what are you planning to do?"

"As the ruler who must ensure the safety of our subjects, standing across from us is a demon king who may pose a threat to our people. What do you think I should do?"

"But Cia is different! Even though I only met her today and she seems quite useless in daily life..."

"Being a useless person with the quality of a virtuous wife, I'm really sorry."

Well, Lucia usually has thick-skinned and extraordinary mental strength. However, when it comes to certain detailed aspects, she has a slightly fragile heart and is prone to feeling down after being hit. She is currently sitting alone in a corner, burying her face in her folded knees and murmuring to herself, "I'm sorry for being born as a demon, I'm sorry for being born as a demon." She gets depressed much faster than a baby bird when it's hit.

"Can you let me finish first? What I mean is, you may not be capable in everyday life, but you have the advantage of being harmless to both humans and animals!"

"Considering being harmless as an advantage for a demon king...isn't that a stretch?" Lucia's words left everyone speechless.

Wang Xiaole realized that he couldn't cheer her up for the time being, so he turned to convince Isabella instead.

"Your Majesty, take a good look at this demon king. Don't you think her threat level is similar to a stray cat on the roadside? Say 'meow', Cia."

"Meow!"

"See?"

Wang Xiaole made every effort to prove Lucia's harmlessness, and surprisingly, Isabella was somewhat swayed by his words.

"What you're saying does make sense, but I can't gamble the security of our country solely on a verbal promise. Would you like to hear a proposal?"

...

"Heave-ho, heave-ho!"

On the other hand, Freya, who had been accidentally forgotten by someone, was now making leaps and bounds on the ground like a little chick.

(Whispering) "I have no choice. I've lost my power, I can't even fly anymore. Now I can only try to remember the tricks of flying through these ridiculous movements."

Just like an eagle mother throwing her chick off a cliff to make the next generation learn to fly by pushing them into desperate situations, Freya's jumping and hopping had similar intentions. Fortunately, her foolishness prevented her from climbing on someone's roof and leaping down from a height. It was certainly fortunate amidst her misfortune.

"Heave-ho, heave-ho, heave-ho!"

The goddess remained alone on the ground, and her efforts to fly had just begun. That should be the case, but someone's appearance changed her fate.

???: "Oh my, isn't this Lady Freya? How did you end up in such a remote place?"

A figure in white stepped out of the church and came up behind Freya.

"Do I know you?"

Turning her head back, Freya tilted her head with a skeptical look, as if trying to find the truth from the newcomer's eyes with this action.

"I know you! I saw you from afar during one of your visits to the mortal realm as a pilgrim. I won't mistake you."

Freya was vaguely moved in her heart. In front of the girl who knew her, she couldn't act as weak as she did before. She had to stand tall and proud, displaying the dignity of a goddess.

"Your devotion, this goddess can feel it! Since you're dressed as a nun, could it be that you're affiliated with the church?"

"I'm currently serving as a Holy Maiden in the church, and this time I just happened to pass through this country."

"Since you're a person from the church, although you may not be my believer, it's said that 'all gods are one big family.' Can you treat me to a meal?"

The fact that the goddess of love ended up in such a miserable state was truly beyond the expectations of the Holy Maiden."Sure, but please come closer first. I'd like to shake hands with the great goddess."

"Alright, in this corrupted era, sincere people like you are hard to come by..."

Freya walked forward without hesitation, as requested by the other party, and leaned her body closer;

Their gazes met, and a hint of purple flashed in Holy Maiden's eyes for a moment;

As their eyes crossed, Freya felt a momentary daze in her mind, but fortunately, it quickly disappeared.

"Great, thank you for your cooperation."

After a warm handshake, the two entered the church;

At this moment, the "hint" has been applied, and the first chess piece has been laid!

When the time is right, she will undoubtedly play a huge role...

Everyone has things they must accomplish at this moment, like Wang Xiaole and Lucia, who, under Isabella's lead, came to the palace at the same time.

The splendor of the palace was something Wang Xiaole had never had the opportunity to witness, so the moment he entered, he couldn't help but admire.

"Oh, not bad. I think my castle is more impressive than this place."

Lucia, on the other hand, couldn't affirm it directly. Her thinking, which was good at imagination, had already constructed the following formula in her consciousness:

"Me" = First wife > Isabella (= vixen)

"My" castle = Cozy harbor > this palace (= dirty and lowly place)

It was more like precaution than prejudice.

It was precisely because Lucia understood Isabella's charm, and that they had similar status, that she found Empress Isabella to be very dangerous.

Whether human or demon, they would not feel threatened by someone who was inferior to them;

A random woman who appeared on the roadside wouldn't have any influence on Lucia's love life;

Even if that person approached her, she only needed to use magic and incinerate the target.

Isabella's threat was completely different!

It was not just about being cautious, but Lucia truly needed to worry about being surpassed.

"Hehehe, let's see who can establish a virtuous wife image in the beloved's heart!"

While she strolled, she didn't forget to mutter, her voice loud or soft;

As long as Wang Xiaole didn't act like a "deaf successor," he could completely hear those murmurs.
