26. Coming to Prussian Street, Let’s Compare Notes
After agreeing to Adele’s conditions, in the following days, she didn’t engage in any more “midnight door-knocking to check the water meter, late-night tea invitations” kidnapping behaviors. Moreover, she really did send Mel to deliver two passes for me and Kfir to access public places within the Kingdom of Prussia.
As for my pass, it suspiciously emphasized in large letters that I had “direct access to the royal palace and the king’s chambers of the Kingdom of Prussia,” which I chose to ignore.
With that, Kfir and I no longer had to endure the trouble of “having so much money but only being able to stay in a small inn.” To put it simply: from now on, as long as we don’t leave Prussia, Kfir and I can do whatever we want, and there’s no problem with doing what we love!
So, in Kfir’s view: after finally shaking off the troublesome elven harassment from Adele, she could finally relax and enjoy the original purpose of our visit to the Kingdom of Prussia. I thought we were here to escape, but Kfir felt we were on our honeymoon.
Early the next morning, she appeared before me, sparkling, and awkwardly came up with a reason.
“Diviner, I’m feeling bored. Come out with me today~”
I glanced at Kfir’s light, fluttering dress, and with just a little movement, her fair legs were exposed!
Big shot, your outfit looks nothing like you’re going out to exercise; it looks more like you’re going out to play~
I didn’t dare to say anything, after all, Kfir had given the order, and I complied~ However, just as I mustered the courage to hold her little hand under Kfir’s intense gaze, preparing to leave and let her “enjoy the honeymoon “…
The script was interrupted by some suspicious sounds from outside the door, making me realize… in my current situation of being targeted by Adele for a marriage proposal, it wouldn’t be so simple to be at ease with Kfir.
Adele and Aunt Mel might have forgotten that earlier, to deal with Dragon Stand 38, they had given me a Wi-Fi contact, and since it hadn’t been canceled yet, I could hear Adele and Mel’s communications clearly!
[Your Majesty Adele, the intelligence department reports that they have left Target A!]
——
【Calculate the time for me! I don’t want to suddenly crash onto the floor!】
【Calculating, but it seems they’ve stopped moving!】
So troublesome…
But I couldn’t speak up; after all, Kephiel, who knew nothing about these matters, was shyly complaining about why I was taking so long.
“Diviner, did you forget something?”
“No.”
But I was certain that as soon as we turned the corner of the street ahead, we would likely bump into something.
Taking a deep breath, I stepped forward with mixed feelings.
And then…
“Late, late!”
Just as that voice shouted out, accompanied by a figure about to crash into me like a little steel ball, I pressed down on Adelf’s small head to stop her!
【Adelf attempted to create a romantic encounter.】
Your Majesty Adelf, this is not romantic at all; I’m afraid that when I get back, Kephiel will be jealous all night.
I watched as the “failed plan” Adelf quickly finished the toast she had in her mouth, wiped her hands with a napkin, and then scolded Mel in the communication with a “glutton,” before looking at me in surprise.
【Adelf has adopted Plan B!】
“Ogier, I was just about to come find you today; what a coincidence~”
Kephiel’s eyebrows twitched beside me.
I might be able to play dumb, but Kephiel would definitely not miss it. After all, today Adelf had deliberately changed out of her usual uniform, which symbolized her status and gave her presence, and was now wearing a white dress adorned with petals, running over like a cute little loli from the roadside.
To say it was a coincidence… Kephiel would be crazy to believe that.
Sure enough, the next moment, the script unhesitatingly revealed Adelf’s intentions.
【Adelf wants to test Ogier with a different image.】
I didn’t even need to say anything; the girl’s intuition had already made Kephiel feel the “crisis.” Just moments ago, when I had held her small hand, she had been a bit shy, but now she firmly clung to my arm , no longer bashful.
“Sorry, Your Majesty Adelf, but I’m going on a date with him next, so I might not have time to chat with you.”
Big shot, didn’t you just say we were only going to “shop”?
Turning my head, Kephiel silently threw a tantrum at me, as if blaming me for bringing Adelf here again.
What an injustice! How was I to know that yesterday Adelf had used the excuse of getting our certificates to draw blood, when in reality, she was going for some strange tests!
Now it seemed that we looked so affectionate, as if we were having some kind of exercise every night, that it had already exposed the fact to Adelf that we were still “inexperienced.” It would be strange if this little elf didn’t try to force a marriage!
“Ah ha~ What a coincidence, I’m also heading out~”
While Adelf might have a bit of a submissive side towards me, she showed no signs of backing down in front of Kephiel.
“You two, as important figures, can go out together freely, but it’s really not appropriate to go out alone. Why don’t we go together? With me around, you can avoid a lot of unnecessary conflicts~”
—
【Adele continues to pressure for marriage, adopting a roundabout strategy!】
War…strategy…
So I was a strategic resource, huh…
One thing is certain: even if Kephir is unwilling, Adele is determined to stick around.
Immediately after, at the moment she naturally grabbed the corner of my garment, she pressed her hand against her ear.
【Adele has implemented Plan C against Kephir!】
And I quickly understood what Plan C represented.
In the capital of the Prussian Kingdom, although I had been here for quite some time, due to the previous marriage pressure, this was my absolute first time truly “walking into the capital” and appreciating it on foot.
“About 90% of the equipment and buildings in the Prussian Kingdom have already been equipped with identification systems. Only the elven nobles are still in their native state. In other words, if I hadn’t arranged for your passes, you would just be standing there staring wherever you went.”
The streets were bustling with people, but since Adele was in casual clothes today, walking alongside Kephir, it felt less like a battleground and more like a cute daughter in a family of three. Her expression, however, had not shown any happiness.
Until, in an attempt to ease the atmosphere, I said the next sentence.
“Well, Kephir, since it’s a rare outing, let’s not have long faces. Let’s find some fun places and experience the exotic culture!”
“Well, since you say that…”
Kephir’s attitude finally softened, but the next moment…
“A place to have fun!? The entertainment in the Prussian Kingdom focuses more on training, so even if it’s for fun, it requires some skill~”
Adele’s expression suddenly brightened as she turned to look at Kephir in front of me.
“I feel like Miss Kephir, the genius girl from the Great Yeen Empire, might not be very good at that~ How about we find a place for you and your fiancé to have some tea instead? That would really capture the essence of the Great Yeen Empire~”
【Adele wants to compare with Kephir!】
So this is Your Majesty’s “Plan C”?
