"Where am I…?"
Edgar, the lord of Castle Morne, slowly opened his eyes. What entered his view was a battlefield full of smoke and gunpowder. A group of golden knights were standing neatly at attention. From the style of their armor, Edgar could recognize that they are the Lyndel knights from the royal capital, but why did they appear here? His last memory told him that he should be sitting on a guard tower in castle Morne, watching the castle he built so painstakingly fall to the flames of the Misbegotten rebellion. Could it be that the royal capital had dispatched the Lyndel knights to aid them? But why? The Royal capital should have had more urgent problems than helping a far flung castle, right?
"Father!"
A familiar voice entered his ears, and Edgar turned his head to look. A girl in a gray robe and long skirt and a blindfold called his name with tears in her voice. But the most important thing is that the girl's blonde hair is the same as his own.
"Irena!"
Edgar happily called out his daughter's name.
"Father!"
Irena trotted all the way and jumped into her father's arms, and Edgar embraced his precious daughter with open arms.
"Irena! Oh! My sweet girl! I—"
Edgar hugged Irena, weeping with joy. He thought he would never see his daughter again after he sent her out of the castle at the time of the rebellion, but now she reappeared in front of him, this can only be a miracle of the Golden order!
"It's great to have you two reunited."
A gentle but dignified mature female voice made both of them look back. They saw a tall woman with curly hair looking at the two with a gentle smile.
"Your Majesty, I'm really sorry. I lost my composure just now, but when I saw my father..."
Irena let go of Edgar and apologized with a slight bow. But Marika raised her hand and said to her:
"Don't worry, I am not offended. The reunion of family members is a joyful thing, so there is no need to be restrained."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Irena bowed politely again.
Edgar's jaw dropped in surprise, he realized who the tall woman in front of him was.
"Y-your majesty! Please pardon me for not greeting you as soon as possible!"
Edgar hurriedly knelt on one knee to greet Marika. How could he have thought that a small castle lord would be lucky enough to meet the queen of the Golden Dynasty?
"It's all right. Please stand, Sir Edgar."
"Yes my lord!"
Edgar immediately stood up neatly. But a doubt flashed in his mind at this moment.
"Your Majesty, how did you appear here? Why are you here?"
Edgar asked timidly.
"Oh! Here, this is a different world!"
After Malika explained to him their situation, they are in a different world now...
After understanding this situation, Edgar and his daughter felt very honored to be summoned by Marika herself. After expressing welcome to the two, Marika placed Edgar and his daughter in Stormveil City, and explained the recent developments with Morgott, and then returned to Ligu city.
Having said that, Edgar of Castle Morne seems to have the same name as the old butler of Einar.
Back to Ligu city...
"Ughhh~ I'm really exhausted today"
After teleporting back to Einar's manor. Marika removed the armor from her body with magic, and lay down on the bed not caring for her appearance. Though it didn't really matter since there was no one in her bedroom.
"I thought I was going to die with that maniac today! That almost scared me to death!"
Marika complained as she lay on her bed. But then the system suddenly jumped out and said:
"Alright alright, you had a rough day. Now hurry up and draw the lottery now, your prizes are gonna get cold."
"Fine~"
Marika answered perfunctorily, then lazily opened the system panel, and clicked on the multiverse lottery. This time the prizes are Moon Gundam Psycho Plate (A), New Type Level Increase (C) - (B), Power of Aphordite (S)
"My New type level has increased? You can do that? Why didn't you say it earlier?"
Marika asked suspiciously. She faintly felt that the detection distance and accuracy of her new type instincts had been significantly improved.
"Because if the host draws the same prize, the level of the original skill or item will be raised. But it is quite a small probability, so you are really lucky!"
"Heh~"
Marika smiled triumphantly, and then began to check the rewards.
"Moon Gundam Psycho Plate (A). This is an imitation made from Moon Gundam's Psycho plate from Mobile Suit Gundam: UC Engage. The size of the plates has been reduced and adjusted according to the size of the host. The method of use is to use in tandem with the skill New Type bloodline. The psycho plates can be used to attack and form a psychic energy shield at the same time. In addition, if the host fully drives your new type ability, there will be unexpected effects."
"Oh, that seems pretty strong!" Marika commented happily.
"Power of Aphrodite (S). This skill is made by the system based on the divine power of goddesses of love and beauty from the ancient myths of various countries. This skill allows the host to manipulate human desires and make them fall in love with the target specified by the host. In addition, this skill can also let all the people who see the host subconsciously recognize the host as the most beautiful person, so as to achieve the effect of charming them."
"Uh— isn't this skill kinda useless? And I'm already pretty enough. This skill is superfluous!"
Marika said with disappointment.
"Oh screw you! Do you know how difficult it is to get a complete divine power! And this goddamn divine power is at the level of a primary deity! Do you think this is some kind of junk you find off the street? Fuck off!"
The system said furiously.
"Okay! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you're the best, okay."
"Hmph! Thats better!"
The system hums..
"Oh I almost forgot! Can you do me a favor?"
"...Fine. What's the matter?"
"Can you give me all the memories of the original Marika?"
"Huh? Why do you want something like that?"
"It's nothing. It's just..."
Speaking of this, Marika's face turned slightly red.
"Bedivere has been with King Arotira for most of her life, so he must know her very well. But Bediverel doesn't know me, or the whole past of the original Marika. And with his confession today, I– I want to respond to him in kind and confess my past with him. And this will make it easier to interact with all the people from the Erd Tree."
"Okay, I think you two should just get married on the spot."
The system said, done with her antics.
"Eh!? You- you- you- what are you talking about?! My relationship with Bedivere is not like that!"
Marika tried to deny shyly, just like a girl who was discovered by her crush.
"Bruh, don't tell me you're a Tsundere? Forget it, let's get back to business. It's impossible to directly give you all the memories of the original Marika. The memory of the original body is very chaotic, and it has something to do with Radagon and the Greater Will. There are a lot of overlaps. If you forcefully accept it, it will fry your brain."
"Huh? I can get it with Radagon, but why does the memory of the original body coincide with the Supreme Will?"
"According to the memory fragments in my database, Marika's consciousness is short and discontinuous. It's like someone forcibly took over her body halfway, but when I observed Radagon's memory bank, it seems the same thing is going on with him, especially at the end of the battle with the Tarnished. It means that someone is manipulating their bodies with both of them being unconscious. I think a good percentage of time Marika and Radagon's bodies are occupied by the Greater will, and they themselves are unconscious."
"Wow~ That is so disgusting. It's like a parasite is living in their brain."
"Isn't it? But if you still want to get the memory of the original body, I can play her memory fragments for you bit by bit in your dreams. But the content is not continuous. So the memories' contents are random, not even I know what's in them.
"I see..."
"Well! Anyway, everything in the dream happened to the original Marika, so it's all in the past. Plus, your body is a brand new and perfect imitation, so it is not the same as the original body, save for your appearance and some of your bodily structures. "
"Okay… I guess I am okay with that."
The next morning…
"Knock Knock Knock!"
There were some knocks on the door, followed by Bedivere's voice.
"My king. I have a letter for you here. May I come in?"
"Very well, come in."
Marika said while sitting in front of the dresser and arranging her long hair.
"Excuse me."
Bedivere came in with some letters. Marika's eyes wandered to him from time to time.
Marika was still quite curious about the skill of her new God of love skill. So she thought it might be a good idea to try it on Bedivere to see the effect. Since he was the man she was most comfortable with.
"So you still like him in the end!"
"SHUT UP!"
Marika argued with the system in her head.
"My king, where would you like me to put the letters?"
Bedivere asked caringly.
"Just put it on my dressing table."
Marika replied, her skill at the ready.
"Of course."
Bedivere went to Marika's dressing table and put down the letter.
"Okay now!"
Malika activated the power, turned her head and looked at Bedivere with her charming eyes and asked:
"Sir Bedivere, do I look good with my hair tied up like this?"
Bedivere was a little surprised by this sudden question, but he still looked at Marika's attire seriously.
Marika was dressed differently from the way he is used to. She replaced her hair bun and armor with her usual long braided hair and original black dress. Bedivere had never seen Marika in this getup. The thin long skirt reflects her beautiful figure. The shoulder straps of the skirt were propped up to a conspicuous extent because of her huge breasts. The open neckline reveals her deep groove. Under the blessing of the power of God of love, Marika's charm is infinitely magnified.
Bedivere couldn't help but gulp, and his face flustered red. He could feel himself popping a boner, but fortunately, no one could see it because it was covered by his armor.
Seeing Bedivere turn away shyly, Marika knew that the skill was very effective.
'Ahhhhhhh! What the hell did I just do?! Ugh I am such an idiot!'
Marika herself blushed in embarrassment from seeing his reaction.
'Bedovere! Sober up, how could you harbor such feelings for your king!? No matter how beautiful she is, she is still your king! Show some control! '
Bedivere tried hard to suppress his fawning heart in his mind.
'Ugh I am so sorry Bedivere I didn't seduce you on purpose. I just wanted to do a little experiment, please forgive me ahh! '
Marika also shyly shouted in her head.
Both of them blushed at this moment and dared not look at each other.
