Hear her out.

Still laying back in an awkward manner, bound by blue tendrils, but at least now covered up, Gwynevere begins to speak. There's still a chilling anger in her stares up towards you, though your Kitty Sense does suggest to you that her words are genuine, even if such your ability isn't perfected. Things start winding down. Nelli, Selinda, and Kailani cease fighting, as do Anyana, Snow, and Candy. They halt where they stand, and they listen from there, perhaps just in case combat breaks out again.

"I am not going to look you in the eyes and say I mean no harm. I go by many names, but as Demon King of these lands, I rule with the utmost freedom, and with a beauty unmatched by any who dwells in the sea. Perhaps it is my destiny to rule all, or not, though it is not my goal to take Nureteru as you seem to believe. In fact, I find the city to be quite stunning as it stands. They are not threat to me, and as long as that remains, I am not to them. In fact, I have been trying to save them, whether they would ever believe me or not. For there is a darkness within the Royal Palace of Coral Caelum, and it is not my own. There is a dangerous sea witch, one who also gains power from Seno'nojoch, and she has been seeding the downfall of the city for sometime now. Not only does she wish to twist it into a realm of her own, but she also cares not for the lives inside, and on top of that, she desires to eventually hold a rival army to my own."

She always hated me. Truly a nasty, conniving woman. Though I had not seen her in some time, and I began to wonder why. That is until I heard who began a new rule of Nureteru. King Agam and Queen Iri. Never before was I filled with as much anger as the day I found out. Perhaps today rivals that rage, however, thanks to you. But if you desire a bright future for the city, it is not I who should be your enemy. It is the so-called Queen Iri, also known as Irirangi the Aquatic Scourge."

"... What? How am I supposed to believe that?"

"Believe what you wish, but it is not my own people who infiltrate the palace. It is those who have been there longest. Those who do not wish to see the city fall. Speak to them and hear their story. Use our secret phrase somewhere within your sentence and they will know."

"And what's the phrase?"

"Voyeurism is not the same thing as cucking."

You stare at her for a good long moment. "Why--"

"I did not make it, all right! Please do not make this more embarrassing than it already is!"

"How the hell are you supposed to work that discreetly into a sentence?"

"Listen. It is a long story, but it has worked out so far. For whatever reason, King Agam agrees with the statement enough to where he is more than happy to hear it. That is what my informants say. Can we please move on? I do not wish to talk about the secret phrase anymore."

You sigh. "It's hard to believe you, but you have way less of a reason to lie. You haven't called for backup, your allies stopped fighting, and to be frank, you seem way too arrogant to grovel and lie to me. Like the kind of character who'd rather die than be looked down upon."

"... I am glad you understand."

"Why would you take that as a compliment?!" Kailani shouts from afar.

With a wave of your hand, the Entangle spell dissipates. There's no hesitation in Gwynevere's movements. She brings herself back up straight, and floats just high enough to be slightly taller than anyone else in the room, beside Selinda near the doorway. With a huff, she sheathes her blade and then crosses her arms snug beneath her bosom. "Hmph. Trust me or not, perhaps those at the palace will convince you, but be careful. Irirangi is a dangerous woman. Not as much as me, mind you. But if you are still not convinced, come back and face me again, though things will go far differently."

I admire her ability to recover her pride so quickly after all that. "So uh. Do you want this back then?" You give the undies around your neck a tug.

As if she forgot until this very moment, she widens her eyes as colour starts filling her face once again. "Y-Yes!"

You undo them, and hand the pair over. "They're cute, but they probably look better on you than me."

She snatches them instantly from your grasp. "C-Correct."

"Though she looks even better with them off," Candy says, standing suddenly beside you like a weird little gremlin. She grins and honks her nose. "Honk honk."

"Leave now, before I lose my patience!" the Demon King shouts.
