20. I have submitted to the Queen…’s beautiful legs

The script has already been set, and my and Ke Fei’er’s actions have undoubtedly been exposed to Louise. No wonder Miss Nilu and I encountered no one on our way; this was also a trap deliberately laid out by Louise!

At this point, no matter how I explain, it’s useless to argue. After all, having gone through this ordeal, even if Louise is still “tempted by my body,” her script has clearly indicated my death script—[Louise IV will kill Oujilide!】

If it were just that, it wouldn’t be too bad; after all, anyone in this world could have a script to kill me. But this time, as the true protagonist, Ke Fei’er will face a crisis here as well!

【Louise IV has accused Ke Fei’er of harboring an internationally wanted criminal!】

Ke Fei’er has been dragged into this mess because of me, which is quite troublesome!

“Sister Wang! I absolutely did nothing wrong!”

Now that it has come to this, Ke Fei’er no longer pretends; rather, she doesn’t even need to pretend to dislike me. Her attitude has become much more relaxed. Facing her cousin, she unhesitatingly stands in front of me.

“So why do you have to go after him?”

“Alas—Ke Fei’er, the man behind you is an internationally wanted criminal~”

Louise IV sighed, as if facing nothing more than a simple family quarrel.

“Since you already know he is Oujilide, you probably understand better than I do, Oujilide is the ‘Lei Feng’ who delivered the message to you; he has a bad reputation but has done nothing wrong!”

“But what does that have to do with him being a ‘wanted criminal’~ As for why I need to capture Mr. Oujilide, whether to take him to the execution ground or to the church, it is all the decision of me, the Queen of the Great Ying Empire, Ke Fei’er… you have no right to interfere~”

Ke Fei’er’s body immediately tensed up, staring blankly at her sister as if seeing Louise for the first time.

“So, Ke Fei’er, now obediently go back to the party; Sister Wang can pretend nothing has happened. Mr. Oujilide as well, use your prophecy to persuade Miss Ke Fei’er not to be so impulsive. Alas—how dare you even take away the future husband of a queen, that is a serious crime.”

I already knew what Louise would do to Ke Fei’er from the script, but even if I wanted to persuade her, I couldn’t, especially since Ke Fei’er was still holding her ground; I was too cowardly to intervene.

After a brief moment of surprise, the original Ke Fei’er returned, but this time, Louise had become her enemy.

“Then I’m sorry, Sister Wang, I didn’t want to lay a hand on you.”

“Ha—Ke Fei’er, have you forgotten how many times you lost when we practiced sword fighting as kids?”

“This is not a game!”

After retorting to Louise, Ke Fei’er indeed took action. In such a cramped space, combined with the dim environment and the current situation, Ke Fei’er clearly could not, and perhaps did not want to, simply unleash her powers and blow the roof off the place; the result would be obvious.

【Ke Fei’er is evenly matched with Louise IV due to the circumstances.】

I immediately pulled Nilu into a corner to hide, as either of us going up would surely complicate things.

If this drags on until the palace becomes alert, our chances of escaping will become even slimmer. To help Ke Fei’er subdue Louise IV quickly, I immediately looked at the next part of the script, wanting to remind Ke Fei’er how to quickly deal with Louise IV, as I had before.

However, it was better not to look, but once I did…

【Ke Fei’er has a slight advantage.】

At first, it was nothing; wasn’t it certain that Ke Fei’er would be a bit stronger than Louise IV!?

But then…

【Ke Fei’er defeats Louise IV, but while attempting to harm her, she is caught on the spot by the patrol waiting outside!】

This script was so dangerously unexpected that I was momentarily stunned, finally understanding its meaning!

This is a trap! Louise IV is willing to frame even her cousin Ke Fei’er just to capture me! However, under normal circumstances, Ke Fei’er’s identity cannot be touched, unless…

Kefir did something unforgivable in front of Her Majesty the Queen of the Great Yīn Empire! And then got “caught in the act”!?

Louise IV, be a person for once!!? You’re clearly the queen of the Great Yīn Empire!

In my panic, I immediately wanted to warn Kefir that she was in a crisis full of traps! But just as I was about to shout it out, I suddenly realized: if I warned her like that, she would definitely be at a loss for what to do next, and if I didn’t consider my own safety right now, neither Nilu nor I would stand a chance against the queen armed with a divine artifact!

Not to mention, if the trap was exposed, the queen might resort to even harsher measures. So, I had to think of another way to help Kefir through this crisis!

While I was pondering, the outcome between Kefir and the queen had already been decided!

Blades clashed, but Louise was just a queen, not some overpowered hero. Kefir’s advantage quickly expanded infinitely, and with one final horizontal strike, the scattering snowflakes caused Louise IV to stagger back, eventually collapsing against the wall.

Immediately, Kefir’s sword followed, pointed right in front of her.

“Ah~ As expected, Kefir, you’ve become a genius. It used to be me winning all the time.”

At this moment, Louise IV’s seemingly relaxed smile had completely transformed in my eyes, and in the script as well!

【Louise IV is luring Kefir into a trap!】

“Sister… please hand over the keys to me!”

“Kefir, I am the queen of the Great Yīn Empire~”

“You don’t look like a queen to me at all!”

“Ah~ Is that so? Then here’s the key~”

A familiar scene unfolded; Louise IV indeed produced a shiny golden key, but…

Just as Kefir reached out to snatch it, Louise IV smiled and tucked the key back into her bosom.

“If you want it, come and take it~ Kefir, by the way, if I disappear for too long, the head maid and the others will come looking for me~”

“!”

Kefir’s demeanor tensed up considerably, and at the same time…

【Kefir wants to harm Louise IV and seize the key!】

Absolutely not! This script is clearly one where Kefir has fallen into a trap!

I feared that at the moment Kefir thrust her sword forward, a crowd would burst in from outside, leaving her with no chance to explain!

How could I let this proud daughter of heaven suffer damage to her reputation and then wander the world!? If her delicate face were to age because of me, I would be a sinner for all eternity!

A warning… naturally, that wouldn’t do! I couldn’t expose her, or it would alert the snake in the grass.

Then it had to be action!

“Sister, I’m sorry!”

Kefir ultimately chose to forcefully seize the key, but just as her weapon fell, a strange smile flashed across Louise IV’s face…

“Wait a moment, Kefir!”

I leaped forward, stepping between the two of them, and reached out to stop her!

“Don’t lay a hand on the queen.”

“!”

Kefir looked at me in confusion, and so did Queen Louise… At this moment, no one would burst in from outside, because Kefir hadn’t made a move yet.

Haha~ Didn’t see that coming, did you, Queen?

Honestly, I didn’t expect myself to be this brave either, but this was the only way.
