62. I Split Open (Requesting Tickets at the Beginning of the Month~)

I caught it in one hand, then tightly embraced me. Finally, in the script, it appeared, and in an instant, it swept away all the death scripts of Kefir, taking the Alsace from my hand.

Ignoring the foul-mouthed fairy’s cries of “Master, Master~,” I faced the approaching Louis XIII, who was still unaware that his luck had run out, only thinking about resolving me quickly.

With a swift motion, the sword fell, and in that moment, a blizzard erupted. Kefir, certainly in a foul mood, had no intention of cooperating with me to shout out any name like “Shirayuki.” But in the blink of an eye , a scene of pure white had already “drowned” Louis XIII, while that old man and his so-called “Fireball” were merely a flicker of light that vanished in the snow.

[Kefir wants to kill Louis XIII!]

The next moment, the script’s prompt jolted me awake. Ignoring my physical exhaustion, I hurriedly reminded her.

“Kefir, be careful not to be used…”

“!”

With cold eyes, Kefir finally halted her actions. The storm calmed, the ice and snow gradually disappeared, and when I saw Louis XIII again, the old man was covered in ice shards, his staff broken in two, trembling as if in shock.

“K-Kefir, so you really are in cahoots!”

Trembling, Louis XIII, now aware, grew through gritted teeth.

“You’re finished! As a noble of the Great Yng Empire, how dare you associate with O’Keefe! I will ruin you and your entire family, along with that woman, Louis IV!”

Immediately, he pressed his ears, probably trying to contact someone to expose everything about Kefir and me.

This was undoubtedly a troublesome threat, as if Kefir had not immediately dealt with Louis XIII’s hidden danger. However, I did not stop her, for the script had already revealed Louis XIII’s fate as a villain and Kefir’s purpose for appearing.

It was just that Kefir had genuinely been angry and had murderous intent; I had to persuade her—how could a daughter of heaven casually say, “You touch my people, I’ll chop your whole family”?

Kefir remained silent, yet the smug look on Louis XIII’s face quickly faded. In that instant, Kefir let out a light laugh.

“What’s wrong, Mr. Louis XIII? Did you suddenly realize that your contract communication can’t go through?”

As if recalling something, Louis XIII’s expression turned to one of terror.

This was only natural; after all, Kefir, who shouldn’t have been here, had appeared, indicating that everything that followed was certainly “in the plan.”

The next moment, a voice that sounded innocent yet sent chills down my spine, accompanied by numerous footsteps, echoed behind me.

“Oh dear~ What’s going on? Louis XIII, you’re covered in ice; you might catch a cold~”

I suddenly felt no fatigue at all; after all, the big boss, Louis IV, had appeared, and I feared being captured by her. As for Louis XIII, he looked utterly incredulous.

“Louis IV… you, you’re not over there giving a speech…”

“Eh~”

The queen clapped her hands innocently. “Clearly, my schedule is top secret~ How would you, Louis XIII, know about it?”

“Uh!”

[Louis IV did not believe Louis XIII.]

[Louis IV had already set up the scene in advance, teaming up with Kefir to deal with Louis XIII!]

Sure enough, just like the script, all of this was a “trap” prepared by the queen! Although I had informed the queen about Louis XIII’s actions that night, it seemed… the queen was far more knowledgeable and resourceful than I was, using various means to “silently” eliminate her opponents.

In the sweltering heat, I felt cold sweat pouring down, my body trembling with anger. Anger, tremble, cold—what was happening in the Great Yīng Empire?

“Sir Priest, are you alright?”

“I’m fine!”

Louis XIV gave me a cheerful wink, though it was quickly blocked by Kephir.

“Well, speaking of which, Lord Louis XIII, recently Kephir and Zerola have been reporting, and according to the investigations of my Great Yīng Empire’s patrol team, it seems you have been in contact with outsiders, harboring intentions of rebellion~ Is this true ~?”

It seemed like a cheerful and innocent question, but even I could sense a hint of danger in the queen’s attitude. For some reason, today’s queen’s smile was not so perfectly disguised; it clearly had the look of “a dagger hidden behind a smile. “

Rebellion—Louis XIII definitely had such intentions, and this old man was shaken, retreating in panic.

However, before long, a group of white-clad patrol team members surrounded us tightly.

Louis XIII finally couldn’t hold it together!

“What… what are you saying! There’s no evidence!”

“Well~ but don’t you also lack evidence regarding this excellent gentleman beside me, who is O’Gilid? He just dresses a bit strangely and speaks a bit oddly, and coincidentally possesses similar powers to that wicked charlatan O’Gilid~”

Facing the hopeful Louis XIII, Louis XIV delivered the final blow.

“By the way, I have evidence regarding your rebellion~”

With that, Louis XIII suddenly leaned towards me, taking advantage of my complete lack of resistance while Kephir had to hold me, and began to rummage through my chest pocket.

Immediately, Professor Moriarty, the mind turtle, snapped his fingers, and the “little gadget” in Louis XIV’s hand emitted a sound.

“To be honest, I do have plans to deal with Louis XIV…”

This voice was none other than the exact words Louis XIII had said before!

“This is the latest technology from the court mages~ Ah, Lord Louis XIII, some technologies of the Great Yīng Empire are strictly confidential, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist~ For example, this is a purely natural listening device , completely undetectable~”

Louis XIII was left dumbfounded.

But I was also dumbfounded!

“Queen!? When did you…”

“Ah~ It was just during that candlelight dinner when we had our intimate contact, I accidentally~ slipped it in~”

What!?

Now Kephir was also dumbfounded!

He directly abandoned me, grabbing Louis XIV’s shoulders and shaking them wildly.

“Sister Wang!!!?”

“Hahaha~ Kephir, don’t shake me like that~ I’m getting dizzy~”

I’m dizzy too, okay!? I’m starting to suspect that the queen has secretly placed some dangerous things in my home!

The queen of the Great Yīng Empire, Louis XIV, is way too dangerous, isn’t she!?

The next moment, Louis IV gently pushed aside Kephir, who still wanted “a result,” and slowly walked up to the pale-faced Louis XIII.

“Louis XIII, do you know? The crime of treason is… very serious, you know~”

Louis XIII slumped directly to the ground, allowing the patrol squad’s lackeys to drag him away.

Indeed, it seems that unintentionally, I have attracted the attention of a very terrifying monster.

Hiss…

What am I going to do after this?

The next moment, Louis IV happily winked at me.
