57. Three Crossings of the Red Water
The night was dark and windy, with the moon hanging high. This was the perfect time for outlaws to cause trouble, play pranks, and engage in mischief. And tonight, in the dark and quiet imperial palace where only the queen, Louis IV, was supposed to reside, a strange noise suddenly echoed through the room!
The footsteps grew closer and closer, followed by the sound of a stone door creaking open, and then… a shadowy figure crept closer, slowly approaching the queen, who was lying on the bed, fast asleep and defenseless, her majestic and alluring body exposed!
Fortunately, the sudden commotion woke the queen up from her deep slumber, and she saw the dangerous figure clearly in the dim light, instantly regaining her composure!
“!”
However, what good was being awake? The poor queen was just a weak woman with a mere five-star martial arts skills, unable to resist the sudden attack and the twisted claws reaching out to her! ?
At that moment, the queen was so scared that she forgot to run away, her voice trembling in panic!
“Who… who are you?! Save me! Monster!”
However, her loud cries were rendered useless due to the good soundproofing of the palace door, and the desperate queen even forgot to fight back, clinging to the bedpost with her legs trembling uncontrollably, her face filled with fear, muttering to herself.
“Oh no, what am I going to do? I’m going to be defiled, and I can only marry this pervert who has invaded my bedroom…”
“Her Majesty, when you’re done playing, please get off the bed.”
“Ugh, I thought you’d like this kind of thing…”
“How could I possibly like it? I’ll be killed by your minions!”
As expected, this kind of unpredictable boss, Louis IV, is really hard to deal with. I’ve been searching for an opportunity and finally told Louis XIII’s plan to Louis IV, but then I ran into this situation.
If it’s true, I’m probably already torn apart by those maids, Professor Molière, and so on. Moreover, thinking about the time I went to deliver a message as “Liang Feng” and pretended to be asleep, Louis IV might have been observing me, and now I’m really scared.
“It seems you and Kefi’er have no sense of atmosphere at all, Oquelide.”
Louis IV finally stopped playing the role of the “helpless queen” in front of me and threw off the pillow, got up, and turned on the light. She then kept her gaze on me until I removed the mask I was wearing to disguise myself .
Finally, she burst out laughing.
“Raiding the queen’s bedroom at night, at least it’s a good start.”
“I mean, if it wasn’t for the key you gave me, I wouldn’t have been able to come in. The laws of the Great Empire don’t know how to punish a saintly person, Your Majesty.”
“The queen has the power of forgiveness…”
With a wink at me, Louis IV’s smile disappeared, and she stopped looking at me, instead walking to the desk.
“It’s a pity that I couldn’t invite Kefi’er over recently because I didn’t want to arouse suspicion. Here’s the letter she gave you. I left because I was annoyed.”
Before I could blink, Louis IV had returned to her serious expression, which was her slightly serious face.
“I really feel that there’s something strange about Louis XIII, but the details are still based on the information you gave me. You can say that my position will be in your hands to a certain extent. Don’t disappoint me, Oquelide.”
How could I disappoint you? After all, resolving the crisis of Louis XIII, the villain, is not just helping you, but also crucial for Kefi’er. The Great Empire’s heavenly princess can do as she pleases, but in this complicated noble matter , Kefi’er still needs my help to avoid being passive.
“Louis XIII has already prepared to take action.”
So, I have nothing to hide from the queen now. As long as Louis XIII accepts Oquelide’s ‘prophecy’, I’ll tell Louis IV everything he’ll do next.
Louis IV is extremely popular in the Great Empire, and even if there’s a scandal, she won’t be overthrown. Louis XIII is probably overconfident. But I’m really worried about Kefi’er, if Kefi’er is defamed and accused of being involved with a ‘dangerous person’, then her reputation and title in the Great Empire will be severely impacted.
I wouldn’t let Kefi’er go through that, even if she doesn’t care.
I simply explained Louis XIII’s possible actions to Louis IV. Who knows what this unpredictable queen is thinking now, because even I only got a vague answer: “Louis IV is thinking…”
“Queen, if you have the opportunity, remember to tell Kefi’er not to rush to find me. Then, I only have this much to say, and if you have no other requests, I’ll…”
I’ll take off then!
However, I thought that, but Louis IV didn’t think so.
Just as I was about to leave through the “secret passage” of the queen’s bedroom, Louis IV grabbed my clothes.
“You’re really not romantic, Oquelide. You’re talking about another woman right in front of me, in this kind of situation.”
I’m not worried about Kefi’er, am I? I’m just worried that she’ll take the initiative and make things complicated.
“I’ve told Kefi’er a few times to be careful, and she won’t be too serious about it. Besides, I’ve listened to every word you’ve said, and since it’s all the same, you can’ t not believe me. So…”
“So I can leave?”
“★”
The queen clapped her hands happily at me. She was beautiful and cute, but I wouldn’t fall for it this time.
【Louis IV had other matters to discuss to keep O’Keefe from leaving.】
I knew it wouldn’t be that simple!
Sure enough, the next moment, Louis IV said the most dangerous words with the happiest smile.
“No way~”
“Why not!?”
“Because the head maid and the patrol team are confirming the situation outside for you, so that even if you leave, you won’t be targeted by unnecessary people, which could lead to Louis XIII finding out about your contact with me~ You didn’t ‘t even know this, yet you’re still thinking nonsense here. It seems O’Keefe, your brain is also made of your lower body, right?”
With an angelic smile, Louis IV unleashed a barrage of devilish remarks that left me speechless.
Immediately after, she twisted my sleeve and pulled me onto a chair, and then… she lightly sat down.
“So, I can only trouble you a bit. Before Moriarty and the others confirm things, you’ll have to spend a little time alone with me, this completely unappealing queen, in the absence of Kfir~”
Louis IV spoke as if we were playing house like children.
But at this late hour, what kind of house play is this?
