I was accidentally injured by God and I just want to be an ordinary person

As if winding up a toy, the scene suddenly came alive.

"Well, Ella, come here quickly."

Mitis waved to Ella, indicating that Ella should sit next to her, but Gerard coughed in dissatisfaction.

"Mitis."

"What's wrong with that? Ella's not an enemy, right?"

Mitis winked at Ella with her left eye. This familiar atmosphere immediately made Ella feel relieved, and she sat down on the chair that Mitis pulled out.

"Well, Mitis is my friend."

"Since Lady Ella has said so... we have no objection. Let me introduce you again."

Gerard, who had been leading the conversation, stood up.

"I am the Count of the Bruzea Empire, Gerard Modido. These two are the commanders of the Imperial Magic Chanter Corps accompanying the army. They are Cid Oruse and Rocky Mikushu."

Following Gerard's introduction, the two old men sitting opposite Ella stood up one after another and smiled warmly. They seemed to be the type who were very easy to talk to, but Mitis whispered a reminder beside them.

"Don't be fooled by appearances. They hate non-humans just like Gerard."

——It seems that things cannot be judged based on appearance alone.

"Then please allow me to express my deepest gratitude to Master Ella. Without your help last night, the empire would have suffered heavy losses."

Gerard bowed deeply to Ella.

"You don't have to be so polite, Lord Gerard. I just happened to meet you. I can't bear to watch my friend fight."

"Friends?"

The old man sitting opposite Ella stroked his beard and continued speaking in a leisurely tone.

"To be able to make such a proud dragon submit, the relationship between Lady Ella and the black dragon must be more than simple, right?"

The old man glanced at Camisia, who was standing behind Ella without saying a word.

"Although this is just speculation, the person behind you should be the top warrior, Lord Camisia, right? I have never heard of the dragon clan and the demon clan joining forces."

"joint?"

Ella blinked in confusion. She and the black dragon were simply friends and there was no talk of alliance. As for what the old man said about the dragon surrendering to him, it was entirely the idea of ​​the female dragon Priestera who came to greet her. At that time, Priestera put her on his head after explaining her purpose, and did not mention that this meant obedience.

"Did Mr. Sid misunderstand something?"

"How could that be? Your presence here with the Demon Tribe's acting Demon King is proof of that."

Why did he say that his presence here with Camisia was evidence of his alliance?

If this were a comic, Ella would have countless question marks above her head.

Noticing the puzzled look on Ella's face, the old man named Cid added.

"Appearing here in human form without any disguise, and yet commanding the dragon's submission, only the legendary dragon princess could do it, right?"

"Wait a minute? A dragon princess? What's that?"

Ella stood up slightly, her eyes full of confusion.

"Haha, I didn't mean anything else. I just wanted to confirm. Without your help, I might have turned to dust. I apologize for my previous inattention."

"No, I'm not questioning you, but what exactly is going on with the Dragon Princess?"

"Lady Ella has deliberately concealed her identity. I'm sure there's something hidden. I apologize for Cid's impolite and rude behavior earlier. Honestly, I invited Lady Ella here because I have a favor to ask."

Gerard sat back in his chair, clasped his hands on the table, and looked at Ella with a serious expression.

"Lady Ella, we're here to help your black dragon clan drive out the poachers... This is probably the reason you've come this time, isn't it? I've heard that dragons have a very low chance of awakening their lost royal bloodline at birth. Dragons with royal bloodline can imbue other dragons with magic that far surpasses normal levels. Furthermore, their fighting spirit is boosted, much like the effect between the Demon King and his demon clan..."

After a pause, Gerard glanced at Mitis and the other two old men. He spoke very slowly, as if he was choosing his words, and his expression was unnaturally nervous.

"So, I would like to ask you to consider our wishes. The Empire is willing to do its humble part to help you expel the maggots that are harassing your clan. You can deal with the poachers as you please. In return, we hope you can persuade your clan members not to vent their anger on the Empire. Of course, we will not spread the news of your alliance with the demons to the outside world. As for your identity, only the five people present here know it. I assure you of this."

"Uh... please wait a moment. Earl Gerard has misunderstood something. I am not the dragon princess..."

Feeling that letting the misunderstanding continue would make things out of control, Ella immediately interrupted.

Gerard couldn't help but look anxious.

"But the Black Dragon's performance yesterday—if it weren't for your status, how could it have submitted to you? And you defeated the Ogre and the Demon Wolf with only level 8 strength. This is something no human can do."

[Tsk, now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to reveal my true identity.]

Feeling troubled, Ella had the urge to scratch her head. She reached out to cover her eyes to block the magic of the blue lenses, and then placed the lenses used for disguise on the table, revealing her purple eyes that had been blocked.

"This is my true identity. Let me introduce myself once again. I am the Demon Queen of the Demon Tribe, Elelaya Nott Mistydin. I have nothing to do with the dragon princess that Earl Gerard mentioned."

Although according to Gerard's previous description, powerful magic can be added to the dragon clan, and they can freely transform between humans and dragons, these two points reminded him of a character that he had never used since he came to this world. But it was precisely because he had never used it - regardless of whether the character's original body could be called a royal family - that he could be so sure.

Seeing Ella's purple eyes, everyone present opened their eyes wide, especially Mitis, who was so shocked that she stood up from her seat.

After a second of silence, Sid's breathing became rapid.

"W-what!? She's also the Demon King's daughter! I never thought... I never thought, that Demon King's daughter is also the Dragon Princess. How is that possible! Absolutely impossible! Two people of different races cannot produce a child with the characteristics of both races. This is an iron rule that cannot be changed..."

Talking to himself, Sid was completely immersed in his own world.

"No, that doesn't explain why the dragons would be so subservient to the Demon Princess... Since it's the Demon King who nearly ruled the world, it's possible they had connections with the former Dragon Royal Family. There's no confirmed information on these rumors on the continent. Could it be that the Demon King and the Dragon Princess combined some kind of special magic?!"

In an instant, the entire tent fell into deathly silence.

Chapter 26 Solution

If she hadn't been the person involved, Ella would have applauded the inference, but unfortunately, the person Sid was talking about was herself - the only victim present.

Not only Ella, but even Camisia's expression grew strange. Camisia wouldn't find any identity Ella assumed strange, but adding more identities would raise many questions. For example, if Ella became the princess of both factions, would she ultimately reside in the demon realm or the dragon's? And which side would she choose as her retainers?

It may seem like a trivial matter, but it is actually very important. It means the king's trust in his subordinates. Once one party performs poorly, it is very likely to turn into an irreversible result - the feelings will completely fall to one side. Although Camisia does not think that the demons will lose, when the opponent is a dragon with overwhelming strength, the flame of confidence will inevitably weaken.

Everyone, including Camisia, focused their attention on Ella.

Ella unconsciously shifted her gaze to the side.

"Mr. Cid, your deduction is indeed brilliant, but I am not the dragon princess you claim. As for the reason the black dragons acted in a similar manner of submission last night, it was simply because I helped them in the kingdom."

Not only that, in fact, even the identity of the Demon Queen is questionable.

Sid, whose expression was obviously agitated, was stopped by Gerrard's eyes and sat back on the wooden chair tremblingly.

"Help within the Kingdom?... What price did Her Excellency the Demon Queen pay to earn the dragons' submission? Countless heroes throughout the Empire's history have sought to win over the dragons, but all have failed. Unless you've made contributions beyond human power, the dragons won't show any sign of friendship, right?"

There was an obvious hint of temptation and disbelief in her tone. Just as Cid, the leader of the Magic Chanters, had said, the Bruzea Empire had tried to negotiate with the dragons countless times, but no matter what promises were made, almost no dragon was willing to fight for the empire. And this was just one dragon, so it was conceivable that if an entire tribe wanted to show goodwill to it, it would be impossible to achieve without paying a price that even the empire could not afford. Instead of speculating on what Ella had taken out, it was more realistic to choose to believe that Ella was the Dragon Princess.

Sid's words made Ella silent. Things had developed to the current situation, and the other party would not believe it unless she showed the real thing, so it would be better to find the low-level recovery medicine from the warehouse full of props.

"But speaking of which, Mitis's expression was the most exaggerated... She said she was mentally prepared and wouldn't be surprised no matter what race I told her—ah, I found it."

Reaching into her pocket, Ella took out a bottle of F.Wing's specialty magic potion from the storage and placed it on the table.

"That's why."

As he spoke, he pushed the vial, the size of his index finger, toward Sid.

"Is this... a magic potion?"

Putting on a monocle that might be a magic prop, Sid frowned and looked at it carefully.

"That's right. The black dragons encountered poachers at that time and were in a very exhausted state. I used this magic potion to help them out of their predicament, so they accepted me as a friend."

"We can become friends simply by using magic potion? ...My Lady Demon King, can I open it and take a look?"

"That's fine, but this is a legacy left by my father—the previous Demon King, so please treat it with respect."

For a moment, she almost arbitrarily defined the gender of the previous Demon King as male, but Ella immediately changed her words. Since all the information about the Demon King was erased by the One and Only God, she still didn't know the gender of the previous Demon King.

Carefully removing the cork, Sid aimed the lens at the magic potion. His originally puzzled expression instantly became serious, and he frowned and sniffed lightly.

"How is this possible... I've never heard of such a high concentration of magic power... Not even the Panacea can reach this level! Your Excellency, the Demon Queen, what is this?"

Like a child seeing snacks, Sid's eyes flashed with strange colors.

"This is a magical potion far superior to panaceas. Even a dragon can be instantly healed after being injured. This is why the dragon recognizes me. Mr. Cid, do you understand?"

I don't want to be inexplicably given the title of Dragon Princess. Just being a Demon King's daughter is enough to bear. If there is another one, I am sure that I will collapse.

Sid stood there in a daze, as if he didn't understand what was going on, while another old man next to him immediately snatched the magic potion and began to examine it with an unbelieving look on his face.

A moment later, the old man kept muttering to himself as if he was possessed by a demon, and even his breathing became rapid. He quickly chanted the spell, created an ice blade that emitted a sharp aura, and swung it towards his hand.

"Rocky, stop!"

With the crisp sound of metal clashing, the ice blade in the old man's hand was pushed away by Gerard.

"Are you crazy?!"

Gerard roared angrily. If he had not acted in time, the old man's left hand would have been cut off by himself.

But the old man pushed Gerard away without any gratitude.

"You're crazy! Do you know what this means? A magical potion that can instantly heal even a dragon! This simply negates the entire alchemy system! How can you admit it's true without trying it yourself!"

"No, Rocky, let me do it—"

Sid came to his senses and immediately stood up, trying to grab the magic potion, but he missed.

"Sid, I understand your kindness, but I must verify it myself."

"As the commander of the Third Legion, I have more authority than you, the commander of the Fifth Legion, right? Rocky, give me the magic potion!"

"How can we let you, the commander of the Third Army, come here? What if the magic potion is fake—"

At first, Ella thought this was a very reasonable scene of brothers willing to sacrifice themselves, but later Ella found out that the two were just trying to snatch the magic potion and did this because they wanted to experience the "miracle" they talked about.

Feeling that the scene would become very bloody if she continued, Ella deliberately coughed twice.

"Ahem! This is a relic of the previous Demon Lord. I can't use it as I please. Please return it to me after you've taken a look at it."

Ella's words stunned the two old men for a moment. Then they gradually came to their senses, looked at each other, and sat back in their wooden chairs awkwardly.

"I'm deeply sorry, Your Excellency the Demon Queen, for causing you to witness such a disgraceful scene."

Gerard bent down deeply. His companion's behavior made him, as a commander, lose face. If there was a crack in the ground here, Gerard would immediately crawl into it and never come out.

After taking the magic potion, Ella put it into storage.

"I don't care. But do you two understand? The Black Dragon Society will submit to me."

"If it's a magical potion of this concentration... it wouldn't be surprising if it could work on a dragon. However, judging by your cautious attitude, the quantity must be very scarce, right?"

Choosing his words carefully, Sid rubbed his hands and asked.

Although he was eager to get the magic potion now, with the Empire's appointed commander-in-chief Gerard present, he would be kicked out of the tent if he behaved too much, and would then completely lose access to the magic potion, so he could only suppress his desire.

"Well, it's not a lot."

Of course, this is compared to the "Angel Crystal".

Ella continued to add.

"The black dragons took hundreds of them."

"Hundreds!"

Unable to control his emotions, Sid slammed his hand on the table, making a dull sound.

"Quiet, Sid, if you keep doing this, I'll kick you out!"

Gerard's eyebrows were almost twisted together, and now his heart was filled with only regret - he really shouldn't have brought these two people here.

"Ah, yes, Earl Gerard, I will try my best to restrain myself..."

Seeing Sid bow respectfully, Gerard relaxed his brows again and turned his gaze to Ella.

"Are just a few hundred enough to make the Black Dragons act like this? If so, the Empire can provide more."

"Earl Gerard—"

"Sid, I remember telling you to shut up."

"Um... please allow me to explain, Count. The Empire absolutely cannot produce such a magical potion. If used on the battlefield, this magic potion would be enough to bring at least three-digit soldiers back to life. I believe even severed limbs could be instantly restored. I heard that after approaching the heroic realm, ordinary magic potions are difficult to take effect. This magic potion is definitely enough to restore a dying person who has surpassed the heroic realm to full combat power. Do you understand now?"

“Hmm—”
