Oooh-dooh needs to clean her tail

"One of the greatest tasks- and privileges- that you kobold girls enjoy as members of my rather exclusive payroll is to maintain your good looks. Ah... Maybe lizard women aren't for everyone, but for us goblins, they're not bad to look at. Traditionally, we goblins take what we can get, though, remember Balzhak's Lessons for the Lesser # 35..." Here, the goblin paused, smiling and rolling his hand, as if begging her to continue and finish his sentence.

"That one seems to have suh-suh-ssssssslipped my mind." Oda made her best impersonation of a kobold's reptilian speech pattern, still trying to keep the ruse going.

"Completely understandable. There are over one-thousand of them." Balzhak cleared his throat, then continued, now raising one finger before continuing with his generous lesson. "Lesson # 35: be humble enough to settle for what fits you, but ambitious enough to look for what's with-held you. By this I mean: we goblins don't should not satisfy ourselves with the romantic company of our peers. We should reach out a little. You kobolds, for instance. Humans, elves... Even demons." He smiled, his eyes squinting shut behind his glasses with a mocking look of jest. "But that's neither here or there; we're getting off-topic. You must abide by Balzhak's Lessons for the Lesser # 403: be presentable. Subsection 32a: a kobold must have a clean tail. Oooh-dooh, yours is a bit filthy for the camera. You've been dragging it through the mud, haven't you? A kobold should perk up her tail."

Oda continued to nod absently, ingratiating herself to the Goblin Guru while trying to think of the best way to break off from this upsetting, uncool meeting and challenge him to a duel instead... If she could just convince him now... She could turn things around and surprise him!

"Well? Are you going to clean yours? It's filthy. All that mud."

"Of course, mis-suh-suh-stur goblin." The demon turned to pat at her butt, which, it must be said, looked very cute in the tight mini-skirt that the kobolds traditionally wore. It also looked like an ordinary- if very cute- humanoid butt. There was no tail extending from it, nor any place for a tail to come out.

"Huh. Looks like you misplaced your tail, Oooh-dooh."

"... I actually tucked it inside my ssssssssss-sussssss-skirt earlier, cause it was so dirty." The princess sweated from a combination of her lie's seemingly imminent detection and the heat beneath the lizard mask she wore. There was no way a long kobold tail would fit inside that form-fitting skirt...

The goblin tapped his chin thoughtfully with one finger, then shook his head. "Well, it seems we're at an impasse. You can either reveal that tail of yours, or else, I may be **** to suspect you aren't really a kobold at all. If it's too embarrassing to reveal to me, how about to our fellow kobolds? Just... hike up your skirt on the back and show them the tail. Then we'll put the whole matter behind us- forgive the pun."

She had to admit, this deception was seeming less and less cool the longer she went along with it. The guy was just a stupid goblin! She should have confidently walked through the main hall, produced her Blood Blade of Oda (the real one, not this miniature knife version), and then killed him in front of all of his goofy kobolds... Then they would have run off screaming while she brought the goblin's head back to Jervale; she would have laughed about how stopping an intruder like this was no big deal for her. Jervale obviously would have told her that she was doing a great job and that he was happy the demon lord had left such a capable princess in charge of the tower.

Instead... she was desperately working to devise some kind of trick that might work against the annoyingly pretentious goblin. As she began to slide her skirt up on the back, wiggling it up her pleasantly curved, yet somewhat toned hips, she pondered if there was some way to use the nature of these kobolds against their master...

Of course, she didn't realize that the goblin's "concession" of allowing her to face him while flashing her panties at the kobolds meant that all of the cameras were pointed right at her ass. The kobold camera crew all gathered around, filming (and broadcasting) eagerly as the woman's pantyhose became further visible, taking their task of verifying her tail very seriously...
