34. You are the best queen
Thanks to the impulsive protection of the two bosses, I managed to avoid a death scenario where I was chased through several streets by two orcs, one red and one green. The orcs were also sent away by Adeph and kept under “special surveillance” to prevent the two orcs from walking into the streets and causing a city-wide panic.
It was cool, and maybe Big Brother Kefei was still immersed in the mood of “If you touch my man, I will kill your whole family”, but I was not happy at all. It was okay for Adeph to be impulsive, because that elf was the king of the Kingdom of Prus, and she could say whatever she wanted on behalf of her kingdom, but Kefei… obviously couldn’t represent the Great Ying Empire casually, and her identity was not that of an ordinary person. If her relationship with Euclid was hastily exposed, the consequences would be very serious.
Not to mention that the mysterious woman was surprisingly calm when she left, and the script was completely consistent with my own guess: she must be preparing some dangerous idea again.
After calming down, Kefeier showed me an attitude of “I was wrong, but I will dare to do it again next time”. Of course, I couldn’t scold him, so I could only settle for the next best thing. I asked Adeif to give us a direct way to contact the Queen Louis IV of the Great Ying Empire. At least I could confess to the Queen everything that happened not long ago.
At this moment, the signal receiving and sending department of the Kingdom of Prussia.
The magical technological world of the elves is not just for show; ordinary contract communications have already been transformed by them into something akin to projection, allowing us to see each other!
Sure enough, once the contract was connected, what came into view was the great Queen Louie IV of the Great Ying Empire… the starry sky beneath her skirt.
Immediately, Queen Louie IV shifted the camera upward and even winked at me.
“Sorry~ I don’t know how the camera got set so low just now~ It’s been adjusted now~”
Your Majesty, you should really apologize; Kephiel next to me looked ready to hit something!
I dared not say much. The cosmic starry sky was one thing, but the content I was about to speak had to be done seriously!
“What’s wrong? Realized you were in the wrong and wanted to come back?”
After Kephiel greeted her, Louie IV returned to her table, appearing disinterested as she sipped her tea, though her gaze remained fixed on us.
I couldn’t afford to be careless and immediately spoke up!
“No, I just suddenly feel that Your Majesty looks so radiant and full of life today!”
Louie IV slightly furrowed her brows, then smiled widely: “Continue, I like it.”
“Um… It’s been a while since we last met, and I suddenly realized how charming you really are! Like green onions with tofu, chicken legs with cola!”
“Cola? Huh~ Sir Priest, if you want to make a grand return, mere flattery won’t suffice~”
“How is it flattery? I swear to the goddess that every word I say comes from the depths of my conscience, and not a single bit is meant to flatter you!”
I ignored Kephiel, who looked nearly dumbfounded beside me. Big shot, you don’t understand, this is called baiting!
“Thank you~”
The queen on screen displayed a cute and radiant smile at me, and then…
“So, what trouble did you two get into in Plouce?”
What a precise guess; she truly is the queen…
Kephiel shot me a look that said: I told you deceiving the queen is useless; why waste so many sweet words on her! So annoying! With no choice, I could only confess honestly.
“Your Majesty, my identity and my relationship with Kephiel have all been exposed to the Austro-Hungarian tribe, and… we’ve also provoked them.”
In general, I would definitely choose to conceal such an important matter. After all, why reveal my vulnerabilities to a super smart, dangerous big boss who has her eyes on me? But Kephiel is still a noble young lady of the Great Ying Empire and the number one genius; considering her position, this matter couldn’t be hidden from the queen.
“…”
For a moment, the queen’s expression on screen seemed to crumble, and then Professor Moriarty, who appeared to be controlling the camera, stepped into the frame, first giving me a friendly middle finger, then moving beside the queen to discuss something in secret.
After what looked like a somewhat heated whispered argument, Professor Moriarty left, and Queen Louie IV’s smile returned to her face.
She then said something that made me very happy.
“If that’s all there is to it, then it’s no problem at all. Even if other countries are hunting you down, the Great Ying Empire can still recognize your identity. Besides, it seems you have a good relationship with Letty from Rosia, right ~ Oqilid?”
Ha~ Hahaha~
Sigh, I can’t laugh, Louie IV wouldn’t be this kind-hearted.
In the next moment, Louie IV indeed made the most dangerous threat with the cutest smile.
“However, what replaces it is that for the rest of your life, you probably won’t be able to leave my side~”
I stopped the obviously displeased Kephiel.
“As for the consequences of exposure, I will try my best to avoid serious repercussions, Your Majesty.”
With the Queen’s assurance, although it sounded a bit daunting, I no longer had to worry about whether Louis IV would disagree.
So, I revealed the second mistake I had made.
“Ah, Your Majesty, there’s one more thing: unfortunately, I’ve been… coerced into marriage by an elf in the Kingdom of Prussia.”
Louis IV, who had just faced an imperial-level crisis with a smile, suddenly turned serious. The Queen first glanced at Kephiel in confusion, then waved at Professor Moriarty outside the camera.
“Moriarty, send a few patrols to handle this.”
Wait a minute, Your Majesty, what do you want to handle!?
“Your Majesty, the other party is… Adev.”
“!”
【Crack】
Louis IV slammed the teacup down on the tea tray!
“Why!? I clearly told you that you are a wanted criminal!”
“How dare you bring that up!?”
It’s precisely because you revealed my identity to Adev that the situation arose where Adev was charmed by my contrasting appeal when she came to find me in the Kingdom of Prussia! Otherwise, if Adev had been obediently in her Prussian palace, there wouldn’t be so many complications!
After a moment of tension, Louis IV composed herself and sat back down, her unwillingness evident to me.
“Euclid, you’re really something, charming wherever you go, and all high quality. Sigh… I’ll send someone to find a way to bring you back, no… we need to find a way right now, lest you get entangled in that city full of long-eared women.”
“Not for now, Your Majesty. I’ll leave with Kephiel when the time is right.”
“What do you mean?”
“You don’t need to worry too much. By the way… if you can indeed send someone, I hope you can lend me some more items.”
At this, Louis IV truly couldn’t hold back anymore.
“Euclid, knocking on my bamboo pole every day will have to be repaid in the future…”
“Feel free to do as you wish then.”
After all, the leg I’m currently clinging to, Kephiel, is now facing a hidden BOSS that could interfere with and threaten her upgrade script! This is something I absolutely cannot overlook or relax about. Even if I have to escape from Prussia, I must resolve the crisis script of Kephiel that is so close at hand!
Of course, I definitely couldn’t say this to Louis IV; it’s better if she doesn’t grasp this situation.
“Sigh~ Got it, got it. I’ll send someone later. Before you return, I can only wish you three safety.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty.”
The communication was abruptly cut off, but as the scene turned back to the white wall, I suddenly remembered…
What did the Queen just say… three people!?
