Reincarnated in another world as a great one

A sacred ceremony part 2

"Why have you summoned us, your holiness"

"Ahh, paladin Cruz, how you been doing"

"Good your holiness"

"....very well, I summoned you today since I'm in need of your Temple knights"

"May I ask" with the signal of his gaze that told to speak "For what does your holiness require the Temple knights"

At the question the pope suddenly turned with religious fervor "The goddess Sariel has granted me a vision, 'In nine days, the Demon King shall be coronated, and my chosen one shall be summoned', in nine days our goddess chosen one shall be summoned!, which is why you alongside your Temple knights shall accompany me to the Merlot Kingdom to oversee the summoning!!!" With fervor that wasn't shown in the past, and bloodshot eyes caused one of the twelve paladins of Reh'heil to be awed at the prospect of seeing the fabled chosen one of the goddess be summoned.

Now going back to our semi-Insane protagonist

Eloquently kicking open the door to the throne room, I smirk as I see the king and queen sigh at my opening, although my fun gets cut out as one of the royal guards tries to stop me, which I can only assume he's a newbie, but I ain't having any of that shit so I silence him by using a healthy amount of concentrated bloodlust with a side of madness inducement.

"Please stop Duchess Lilith, I don't need another talented person to be crippled"

Turning I pout while dissipating my madness induced bloodlust "Your no fun your majesty".

Turning I see one of the Royal guards give me some bread which I happily accept with a thank you. "So, you needed me for something? Since you rarely and personally summon me unless it's an emergency" seeing my political side the king waves his hand signaling that what where about to hear shall be a state secret 'which doesn't matter since I'm pretty sure the fanatics know what's going on'.

"The Demon King shall be coronated in eight days from now, and so due to our kingdom having the ancient ruins as part of our territory, and mainly due to the fact that several hero's have been summoned through there since ancient times, it has been decided that with cooperation from the church, we oversee the summoning"

"...is that it?" I awkwardly ask the king since I didn't just travel from my territory all the way here here just for the king to confirm my suspicion when I read the letter.

"Ahh, yes where gonna need your political prowess to somehow make Reh'heil in debt to us without starting a war...can you do that oh duchess of rose?"

I let out a chuckle as I remember why I somewhat respect this kingdoms king "Do you even need to ask, your majesty" I respond with a simple but graceful bow, before we laugh as if we seen something funny.

"Hehehe, your gonna have to work on hiding your greed your majesty"

"I can say the same for yourself Duchess Lilith"

As we start having a small talk with the Queen joining in but we're interrupted from the nameless royal guard #7 telling us that the rest of the nobles have come and that their waiting at the ball room.

Sighing I get ready to deal with the thing known as noble etiquette, and other political stuff 'one day, one day I'll find someone to dump my work on them' and with that mindset we start going to the ball room, but my mischievous and chaotic inner self take over, getting ready to once again show those lowly worms that there nothing but garbage that don't even have the capacity to lick the floor that I walk on.

The King, seeing the Duchess small grin with a glint in her black almost void like eyes that have a tinge of gold to them, he couldn't help but sigh at the changes of his deceased friends child, her once lustrous golden blonde hair has turned silver, especially her once amber gold eyes, such eyes that she got from her mother have now turned into the void like eyes whose tinge of gold makes them see the starry stars at night.

'Heh, here I am complaining about old age, and the duchess before me had to endure seeing her parents killed alongside the political mess that the greedy nobles have brought upon her for three years' feeling as if he can do the kingdoms administration for 30 more years 'maybe I should get someone trust worthy to take over her job so that she can get a vacation'.

Unknown to Lilith, the King who happened to be on best terms with her parents, possibly being the best of friends has already started to formulate a plane so she can get a break, all at the misunderstanding of having a mental trauma that resulted in her current behavior.

Narrowing her eyes a little, she wonders why she felt as if she was casually dissed by some asshole 'weird..,ah it's probably nothing' ignoring the feeling she takes a sneak peak at her stats and wonders when she'll be able to hunt.

Why? Because being an eldritch god has somehow raised the amount of exp needed for a level, for example when she went on a rampage she only needed ten thousand exp to level up to level two, but since then the exp requirements to level up have been multiplied by ten per level, now she needs ten million just to level up to five, which is why she has been trigger happy for the past three years, always finding an excuse to kill someone, of course the higher the level the better the exp.

And considering that if she can somehow unlock her true self instead of the partial one, she'll be able to transform into a bonafide Great One, thus completing her adult cycle which she instinctively understood would no longer be bound by the laws of reality.

But alas such thing is far away considering the she used to be human, so the intelligence and wisdom needed to understand herself would just be to much, even if she's currently a Great One, but at the moment her existence is that of a human.

"Any how, why did you summon the other nobles if this information was supposed to be a state secret?" At my logical answer since it's common knowledge that you can't trust nobles with important information unless your sure they'll be able to keep it a secret.

Nodding while stroking his nonexistent beard "Although that's a logical question, but considering the pope is more likely than not spreading rumors that the 'Goddess has granted me a vison' and that 'The goddess chosen shall be summoned' along with 'The Demon Kings coronation is drawing near' I considered wether or not to tell them, besides the last part was the one that's supposed to be a state secret"

Nodding I sigh since I might as well figure out how to get those fanatics in debt to us, mainly me since I'm in the mood to desecrate a priestess, or is it to defile one 'ah! Whatever works, not like I'm some all knowing entity'.

As we near the door to the ballroom the king signals the royal guards to let it happen, and so I rush and kick open the door with a loud bam, making the nobles jump in fright since I might have release a tad bit of my killing intent while doing the act, but of course those that are used to it don't react as violently but are rather amused by my entrance.

Except for the first prince who the king and queen secretly call 'a mistake that makes us wonder wether our parenthood was a good idea' frowns at my entrance, yes he's your typical arrogant prince who has lackeys at his beck and call, well used to since I politically crushed the nobles who wanted for him to ascend the throne, and mainly because his fiancé was to my liking, I mean seriously what kind of bloodline runs through her blood to make her that beautiful and ethereal.

Milky white skin, those blessed boobs, plump ass, curves in all the right places, a face with no imperfections, sapphire blue eyes, violet color hair with black tips at the end, a stunning beauty that gives off the cold beauty type of air. 'It's was kind of refreshing seeing such beauty blushes in embarrassment at my not so innocent personality and suggestions'.

But compare to that the support for the second has somewhat gotten bigger over the past year, but for the third whose currently the same age as me, his support is nonexistent since 1. Although we have a status most of the skills and stat growth depend on his/her personal talent, and considering my skills and how high they are one could say my talent is at an inhuman level.

As I was saying the third prince is mediocre at best, in contrast to the talent the first exhibits in swordsmanship(he'll never match me though) and the second who's talent is a mix of archery and magic...a magic archer.
