27. The Art of Urination Escape

Without further ado, since we have decided to stop Queen Louis IV’s impersonation of O’Keefe and the blame game, coupled with the information that Kefi’s dear mother has brought from the “whispering winds,” informing Kefi that recently Louis XXV’s faction has indeed been frequently active, Kefi and I immediately prepared to take action.

As for the method, it was quite simple. Kefi’s reputation in the Great Yeen Empire is well-known, not to mention that this Louis XXV, by name alone, exudes a sense of “definitely harboring inappropriate thoughts about Kefi.” Kefi quickly crafted an excuse to request a meeting with Louis XXV, and she soon received a positive response, the content of which was so disgusting that Kefi tore it up on the spot.

Meanwhile, I continued to play the role of Kefi’s priest. After making some slight adjustments to conceal my appearance, during the time Kefi was negotiating with the other party, I sought evidence of the counterfeit O’Keefe’s contact with Louis XXV and subsequent leads.

Once everything was organized, the meticulously dressed Kefi took me to the home of this Louis XXV, who, though I considered him to be a mere supporting character, undoubtedly held a status far higher than the previous Louis 213.

With the appearance of Louis XXV, more scripts regarding him began to emerge. Setting aside the inevitable death script that would kill me, Louis XXV, a standard young blond supporting character of the Great Yeen Empire, was on a whole different level of “supporting character.”

Whether it be his identity or family background, including the territory he held in the capital, while it fell short compared to someone like Kefi, a favored daughter of heaven, it still reached a “luxurious” level. To put it simply: Louis XXV was an epic supporting character.

Since he was a supporting character, he would undoubtedly harbor inappropriate thoughts about Kefi; a toad wanting to eat swan meat is a truth in every script. Sure enough, as soon as Kefi and I appeared at the entrance of Louis XXV’s mansion, he had already spotted us from afar, running over with a face that seemed to say “the toad has eaten the swan meat.”

I immediately pushed Kefi behind me, barely paying attention to the blond’s face; after all, Louis XXV and Louis 38 looked the same to me.

“Kefi, if you encounter any problems, let me know, and we will cancel the plan immediately.”

“Mm, you be careful too.”

After casting a sidelong glance at me, a layer of frost quickly settled on Kefi’s face. After all, Kefi was not one to show her emotions easily, and when faced with someone she disliked, she displayed an even more aloof goddess demeanor.

But this Louis XXV seemed to be quite taken with that approach, looking at the smiling face running toward him…

“Lady Kefi, it’s quite a rarity to have you visit me! Could it be because of that thing I sent you earlier…”

That item Kefi had already read and torn to shreds; dream on, darling.

In my mind, I filled in the response, and the script followed suit.

【Louis XXV has intentions toward Kefi.】

That being said, Kefi’s attitude toward this young blond in front of me was quite cold, even denying him the chance to finish his sentence as she opened her mouth with a frosty expression.

“Let’s skip the pleasantries; I am here on behalf of my father to inquire about the recent ‘reorganization of the council.'”

For some reason, a wave of satisfaction flashed through my heart.

“Of course, feel free to investigate.”

While responding, Louis XXV’s eyes were sneakily roaming over Kefi, but unfortunately for him, Kefi had anticipated this and dressed modestly today, leaving Louis XXV with nothing to feast his eyes upon.

Louis XXV, frowning, could not afford to lose his temper; he couldn’t exactly say something like, “Why aren’t you wearing a dress today?” which would clearly invite trouble. He had to vent his displeasure elsewhere, which ultimately landed on me—this person who seemed to have little presence in Louis XXV’s eyes.

“Um… Miss Kefi, who is this completely inconspicuous person behind you?”

【Louis XXV thinks O’Keefe is a supporting character and wants to get rid of him.】

You think I’m a supporting character? You’re the real supporting character!

Glancing over, it was clear… Kefi’s mood had worsened even more. The landmine Louis XXV just stepped on was far more serious than “Kefi wearing a dress or not.”

“He is…”

I immediately cleared my throat and took over Kefi’s words.

My identity must not be exposed, and the more inconspicuous I was, the easier it would be for me to infiltrate and seek evidence. It aligned perfectly with Louis XXV’s thoughts here.

“I am the young lady’s attendant.”

Immediately, when Louis the Twenty-Fifth displayed a bored expression of “What? Just a servant after all,” and showed no intention of acknowledging me further, I seized the opportunity to think of an excuse to leave, inspired by the script where Louis the Twenty-Fifth wanted to dismiss me to get closer to Kephiel.

“Um, Miss, I suddenly need to… take care of something, haha~”

Louis the Twenty-Fifth’s expression instantly turned disgusted, as if my request, filled with implications, had sullied his sacred and romantic meeting with Kephiel. He couldn’t wait for me to leave so he could flirt with her.

He waved me away dismissively, pointing into the distance, “That’s where the servants work. If you have something to deal with, go there! Hurry!”

I exchanged a glance with Kephiel: Done!

Next, Kephiel needed to find a way to stall Louis the Twenty-Fifth, while I sought clues about his possible contact with the impersonator, O’Keefe. I was sure I would discover something using the script; I just hoped Kephiel could hold back from knocking Louis the Twenty-Fifth flat.

As I kept an eye on the script, I ducked around a corner and… quietly pulled out Kephiel’s current sword—Alsace—from my cloak. This was temporarily entrusted to me for self-defense in case of emergencies.

With the artifact in hand, everything felt right, except this fairy had a bit of a foul mouth.

“Why does my master have to rely on a coward like you… It’s disgusting to be held by you.”

“Shut up.”

We’re both working for Kephiel, so why the insults?

“And I’ve heard rumors outside that you’re quite impressive; how come I can’t see it…”

“Big shot, I beg you to close your mouth.”

I didn’t come back as O’Keefe to show off; it was for Kephiel’s safety.

“And now, be quiet! If you say one more word, I’ll have Kephiel use you as a firewood stick tomorrow!”

After silencing Alsace, I held it close and slipped into a mansion before one of Louis the Twenty-Fifth’s servants could spot me.

“I’m responsible for prophecy and searching; you… just act as security in times of crisis. This is for your master’s good. To be honest, I’d love to turn Louis the Twenty-Fifth into a pig’s head right now, but some things can’t be handled the way you think—just poke, poke, poke, and it’s done.”
