1. Can your seventeen cards take me out? (Seeking tickets~)
Located in the western part of the Great Yng Empire is a somewhat unique kingdom among the nations of the continent— the Kingdom of Prussia. The uniqueness of the Kingdom of Prussia does not lie in any peculiar rules or behaviors within the kingdom, but rather in the kingdom itself.
Unlike any other empire or kingdom, the citizens of the Kingdom of Prussia are almost entirely elves—those with golden hair and long ears, white-haired long-eared, busty older sisters, and flat-chested midgets, etc., who often appear in some strange stories.
Of course, this is merely the outsider’s perspective. In reality, the Prussian Empire is a “high-end kingdom” that benefits from the magical talents and longevity of elves, with both magic and technology exceptionally advanced. The domestic system is also far more progressive than that of other empires, and even the selection of the king is not based on bloodline inheritance, but rather on merit.
The current king of the Kingdom of Prussia, Adev, is a vivid example of someone who rose from a commoner to ultimately sit on the throne.
At this moment, within the Kingdom of Prussia.
A seemingly petite long-eared elf midget, with a “well-endowed chest” that is completely mismatched with her stature, hurriedly weaves through the various corridors of the royal palace.
Her black uniform is adorned with numerous medals that clearly signify her high status. With golden hair cascading down and a serious expression on her face, even those who see her for the first time can tell: this elf holds a significant position, not to mention that this is the realm of elves, where the actual age of the long-lived elven race cannot be judged by appearance alone.
Occasionally, the extras passing by would try to take the opportunity to flirt with her, wondering if this would help them get closer to this midget.
However…
“Your Majesty Adave!”
Before the words were finished, the elven midget had already glared over, scolding with an unusually impatient tone and an extremely tough attitude!
“Majesty what majesty! If you have time to chatter, you might as well go do some work for me! I, Pluress, do not support uselessness! Get out of the way, don’t block my path!”
The earlier extra left in disgrace.
King Adave of the Pluress Kingdom had always been an elf who held strict standards for herself and others, and her personality was very tough, almost S-class! Don’t be fooled by her cute midget face and think you can play with her; be careful you won’t see the sun of the next day!
Usually, Adave didn’t like elves who only had a mouth, and today was even more so, especially since she had just received some incredibly important news from the intelligence department and was hurrying to confirm it!
Pressing her hand against the command dagger at her waist, Adave waved one hand, and a bunch of flickering virtual keys appeared before her. She pressed one of the keys, and in an instant, the tightly closed door not far away swung open. This was just the tip of the iceberg of elven magic; arrogant and prejudiced humans only touched the surface of magic, yet they mistakenly believed that the elven race and their Pluress Empire only practiced outdated magic—this was a grave mistake!
Hmph, elves live longer than most of you! How could they be outdated!? Our Pluress Kingdom’s magical technology is the best in the world!
In the next moment, Adave stepped into the somewhat noisy room, which was the intelligence department of the Pluress Kingdom. Inside, a giant magic stone in the center served as a decorative piece, providing magic and energy to the elves sitting around it, allowing them to connect with various contracts or information. A cacophony of “beep beep beep” filled the air as each elf busily contacted their superiors and subordinates, so much so that no one noticed Adave’s arrival for a while.
As the king, she was being neglected, but Adave was very satisfied with this; this was how her subordinates should behave.
As for what these subordinates were doing, hmph, 80% of it was to counter the Austro-Hungarian tribe adjacent to the Pluress Kingdom—a tribe composed of ugly, disgusting beings filled with filthy desires for the opposite sex, practically a walking seed- sower, the beastmen, who were the sworn enemies of all the elves of the Pluress Kingdom. Adave had not stopped opposing that group of ugly brutes since she became king.
However, today’s visit to the intelligence department was for another matter that was also important.
“Mel, step forward!”
“Yes, Your Majesty Adave!”
A mature-looking elder elf with a smile put down her work and walked over.
“That treacherous woman from the Great Yawn Empire told me that the international wanted criminal Oujilide will be appearing here soon. Is that true?”
Adave looked at her intelligence minister from the Pluress Kingdom, “Didn’t you have an adventure with that seemingly strong eighth-tier Zerola? You must know something, right?”
“There is indeed such intelligence, but…”
As she spoke, Mel shook her head, causing her “waves” to sway, which made Adave, who was not too shabby but obviously inferior in comparison, click her tongue inwardly.
“This news should be true, but there are some strange aspects to it, and I was just about to report to you.”
“Speak.”
The international wanted criminal Oujilide was ostensibly wanted for various misdeeds initiated by the church, leading to a joint manhunt by various countries. However, according to the intelligence department’s investigation, it indicated that Oujilide was likely being pursued because he also possessed the power of ‘ prophecy,’ summed up in two words: jealousy.
A charlatan like him coming to Pluress would surely bring no good.
“Queen Louise IV of the Great Yawn Empire indeed sent us such a document, but interestingly, before this, Zerola secretly asked me to arrange for someone to come to me and have me receive them. The timing and coincidence are quite short, don’ t you find it interesting, Your Majesty Adave?”
Adave toyed with her hair for a moment and smiled, “So, that treacherous woman knew Oujilide was coming but still insisted on telling us. In other words, she is already acquainted with Oujilide and deliberately wants to provoke us to capture him for some benefit ?”
“Exactly.”
“Hmph, we do the dirty work, and she reaps all the benefits. This woman is as disgusting as ever. That said, I’m very suspicious that this Oujilide is coming here as a spy under someone’s instigation; if it’s related to those barbaric beastmen of Austro-Hungary, it would be even more troublesome.”
Having said that, Adave pointed at the elf in front of her.
—
“Mel, tell me the possible route of Oujilide. We should prepare to observe first. If there’s nothing unusual, let him in for the investigation. If there’s anything suspicious, then…”
Immediately, a gesture of cutting the throat followed.
“Your Majesty Adéve, are you really going in person? Isn’t that a bit inappropriate?”
“Don’t worry, it’s just an investigation of a fugitive charlatan. Can he really overpower me? I am Adéve of the Prussian Kingdom!”

Ladies and gentlemen, a new volume begins! This volume features brand new characters and plotlines. I hope everyone continues to support with monthly votes.
I will attach the character illustration of Miss Adéve later; it’s been prepared for a while.
