33. Fishing Law Enforcement

After I finally managed to wash away the redness on my face with cold water, which also helped me calm down from my excitement, when I opened my eyes, Ke Fei’er, who had been using me as a pillow, had already struck a heroic pose as the main character.

Although the first moment she saw me, she might have blushed for a while, recalling the rogue things she did to me last night, Ke Fei’er quickly composed herself.

After all, today is not a day for us to hold hands, blush, and have our hearts race on a date.

“Eugene, let’s go. Father wants to see us about Louis the Twenty-Fifth.”

Regarding Louis the Twenty-Fifth’s actions and unusual movements, even if I didn’t want too many people to know, it had to be communicated through Kephiel to her father. Many of the “inside stories” were known only to that eccentric uncle. Don’t be fooled by the two little slips of paper he always carries in his pocket, which he hands to me like an elder giving candy, reminding me to “stay safe.” This man is truly a formidable character.

We informed him about Louis the Twenty-Fifth’s contact with the counterfeit Eugene, and indeed, the uncle exchanged some insider information with us. However, when he saw me, he paused for a moment.

He looked at my wild hairstyle, scrutinized my current “I’m untouchable” demeanor, and then decisively turned to Kephiel.

“My daughter, I think it’s best not to be too unconventional with such preferences.”

“Stop rambling, you old fool!”

Kephiel shoved me behind her. “What he looks like is none of your concern. We’ve given you our intel, now hurry up and tell me the rest!”

The uncle scratched his head, pondering for a moment, and finally returned to his chair, obediently sitting down.

“Ahem, based on the evidence, what you’ve verbally told me is true. Louis the Twenty-Fifth has indeed been acting strangely lately, frequently interacting with his vassals and wealthy merchants. If he’s been ‘seduced’ by the counterfeit Eugene, it would explain a lot.”

Because that is the truth.

However, more than Louis the Twenty-Fifth’s movements, I was more concerned about whether there would be any “major events” coming up. For Kephiel, just as she needed some big news to “level up and seize treasures,” defeating that black -hearted queen in this crisis would certainly require a “major event.”

Soon, the uncle continued.

“As for the ‘major event’ mentioned by Eugene, it indeed exists.”

He looked at me as if I were some calamity-bringing charlatan. “The nobles of the Great Ying Empire, in order to maintain their prestige, invite their vassals to their territories for banquet parties every so often, and tonight is one such occasion for Louis the Twenty-Fifth. However, if it were just an ordinary banquet, the number of invited vassals seems excessive, so…”

This is undoubtedly a distribution of spoils! Previously, Louis the Twenty-Fifth gained quite a bit of “confidence” from his exchanges with the counterfeit Eugene. It seems he intends to manipulate the parliamentary restructuring to seize the “majority seats” and achieve his goal of “overthrowing the queen.”

Of course, this is also definitely the final step of Louis the Fourth’s fishing operation—sweeping everything in one go.

“This behavior is suspicious, yet there’s been no movement from the patrol squad. I’m not on the invitation list, so…”

In the next moment, Kephiel revealed a smile that said, “Everything is under my control.” Naturally, my script had already paved the way for her; I was just waiting for her to battle the BOSS.

“Father, then we can go.”

“Do you have an invitation?”

“Originally, we did not.”

After saying this, Kephiel proudly glanced at me.

After I knocked Louis the Twenty-Fifth down with a punch, Kephiel wrote to him, explaining that it was a misunderstanding, saying something like, “My boyfriend is just too hot-headed~” blah blah blah.

As long as Louis the Twenty-Fifth had even a shred of conscience and wanted to be a decent person, Kephiel and I wouldn’t be able to continue our dealings with him. But Louis the Twenty-Fifth, at the level of a mere side character, truly did not disappoint me.

He immediately responded with a letter filled with flattery, indicating that he didn’t mind, essentially still coveting Kephiel’s body, and stated that she could still participate in future events.

And this is our opportunity. Louis the Fourth’s “net closing” will definitely happen tonight. I have no intention of helping someone like Louis the Twenty-Fifth; I just want to find evidence to throw the blame on Louis the Fourth, so she can no longer threaten Kephiel and me.

Setting aside Kephiel’s father, who is like a cheat character, this incident is clearly a “major event” belonging to Kephiel.

Looking at our uncle, who had just hurriedly explained, he cast a deep glance at me. Just when I thought he was going to say, “Take good care of my daughter,” and I was ready to agree, he instead said…

“Get on with it…”

“Get lost, you old man!”

I didn’t look at the scene where Ke Fei Er kicked her biological father away; sorry, but I really couldn’t handle that at the moment.

While Ke Fei Er was still entangled with her father over the issue of “doing things or not,” I had already quietly slipped away.

Aside from the major event that I was most worried about regarding Ke Fei Er, I also needed to pay attention to Ni Lu, who was eager for her to level up immediately. The previous crises had already left me feeling uneasy, so this time, I couldn’t let Ni Lu get involved and attract any unexpected adventures.

After finding Ni Lu, I changed my words to conceal my true purpose.

“Ni Lu, you don’t need to come along with us on the adventure tonight.”

“…Yes, Mr. Oujilide.”

【Ni Lu did not accompany them.】

With Ni Lu’s straightforward agreement, the script appeared as well; without Ni Lu’s involvement, there wouldn’t be any unexpected adventures. Ke Fei Er was left with the script of “defeating Louis IV,” and in the end…

It would just be me.

“Just Mr. Oujilide, the safety of the young lady is important, but… your safety is equally important, please don’t overexert yourself.”

【Oujilide was publicly executed by the queen.】

【Louis IV killed Oujilide to protect himself!】

This was my death script. Although it was much more straightforward than being “sneakily plotted against” by Louis IV at the beginning, the idea of ​​“executed in the middle” always gave me a chilling feeling. Not to mention that the script on the queen’s side was also very strange…

But I couldn’t think about that right now; I had to find evidence to counter the queen, and I absolutely had to attend tonight’s “big news” at Louis XXV’s. As for in front of Miss Ni Lu, let me show off a bit.

“Don’t worry, Ni Lu, my life-saving skills are the best in the world! Ke Fei Er will also protect me.”

“Can she really protect you all the time?”

“Huh? What?”

Ni Lu, who was facing away from me washing the dishes, seemed to have murmured something just now.

But since she didn’t repeat it, I might have misheard.
