36. Peach Blossom Luck

To fabricate a chaotic “new artifact” similar to the treasure that was stolen earlier, and then use it as an excuse to attract the beastmen’s envoys while “fishing” out the purpose of the woman in the black robe, even forcing her to reveal her true identity!

The preparations were foolproof; after all, the treasure sent to us by Louis IV truly had the essence of an “artifact,” and the two irritable beastmen seemed to possess at least a basic level of rationality: they knew it was more appropriate to accept “our apology” here than to cause trouble for me.

As for that woman in the black robe, she was clearly also interested in the “treasure,” and in the end, she took the lead in accepting our reconciliation. The plan was thus concluded, without a hitch. The discussions over the next few days were solely between Adéle and me, after all, Kephir seemed a bit lacking in the “acting” department. No, can we really call a big shot like her lacking in acting skills!? It should be said that “Kephir is very honest “! I wouldn’t dare to speak ill of Kephir!

And now, at this moment.

Today, my “confrontation” with the woman in the black robe alongside Adéle was the last time. Although it was a pity, this woman was incredibly secretive, both in hiding her identity and the “hidden agenda,” leading to several days where, even if I deliberately approached, the script contained no extra content, merely repeating the phrases of [Kephir getting injured] and [Ogilid dying while protecting Kephir]. But fortunately, it also indicated that she had no suspicion of my plan until the very end .

“Sigh~ What forest fairy nonsense, I can’t believe they actually trust it.”

Everything concluded, having sent off the beastmen envoys, Adéle, who was alone with me in the room, finally stopped “disguising” herself, while badmouthing the beastmen, she fixed her gaze on me.

“And that woman from the Great Yng Empire didn’t treat you as a wanted criminal? How could she really be willing to send over a treasure comparable to an artifact?”

“I… I don’t know, maybe Louis IV has a screw loose~”

I hurriedly covered up, almost whistling, after all, in the script, Adéle was clearly suspicious!

[Adéle suspects Ogilid’s relationship with Louis IV.]

Adéle might push for marriage, but that doesn’t mean she wouldn’t be “sour.” If it were Kephir, it would be fine; after all, the big shot and I have proof of our relationship, so Adéle would have no reason to be jealous. But this time, Louis IV was different.

In the next moment, Adéle swiped her hand across the “keyboard” of advanced technology in front of her, and I didn’t know what dangerous switch she pressed. Suddenly, a very suspicious “click” came from the door of the room we were in, and right after that, this elven girl leaped onto my lap, clapping her hands on my face, staring at me with a look of suspicion.

I realized what was happening, but it was useless! Even if she wasn’t the kind of girl who could fight well, the knife in her hand was fast enough.

“If I hadn’t properly investigated your identity, I might really have thought you were sent by that cunning woman Louis IV to deliberately seduce me in Pulus and cause trouble.”

“Um, Your Majesty Adéle…”

—

No matter how I look at it, you were the one who seduced me from the very beginning, right? And your methods were quite straightforward: directly kidnapping me.

“The Austro-Hungarian tribe has only been arguing with us for years; there hasn’t been much real conflict. But ever since you came, not only have they come looking for trouble, but there’s also a more dangerous mysterious woman that we can ‘t even investigate!”

As I turned my collar, Adéle aggressively leaned in, and this was no longer just a playful “SM game” but a serious interrogation of me.

“Do you know the identity of that woman?”

“If only I had a clue.”

I couldn’t escape it; no matter where I looked, I could still see that angry, adorable figure of the golden-haired elven loli. Trying to close my eyes only intensified the fragrant scent coming from Adéle and the “pressure” of her sitting on my lap…

It was very dangerous, or rather, too dangerous! Just the thought that this elven loli, who was trying to teach me a lesson, had some strange quirks in her heart made it even more perilous!

I wanted to push her away, but the more I pulled and tugged, the more our positions felt increasingly inappropriate, our bodies nearly touching! I quickly gave up.

“Your Majesty Adéle, if you feel that way, you shouldn’t have acted out with any ‘kidnapping’ from the start.”

Kidnapping and forcing marriage—these were things only those fat, pig-like noble lords would do to beautiful girls; neither of us had the conditions for that.

“!”

In the next moment, Adéle’s claw swiped at my chest! Fortunately, she was wearing gloves; otherwise, if those five little claw marks scratched down, I’d really have a hard time explaining it to Clefair that night!

“No! Maybe I was a bit impulsive at first, but now I actually like you.”

Her straightforward affection made me experience that “at a loss” feeling typical of beautiful girls, while Adéle’s only response was a simple “blushing.”

“But I’m also very annoyed with you! You clearly already have a woman but still want to stir up trouble here with me!”

“I don’t!”

“If I say you do, then you do! Oujili De, you better be careful; this is the Kingdom of Prussia. If you dare to sneak away without permission and I catch you, I won’t let you off the hook!”

【Oujili De fled from forced marriage and was stabbed to death by an angry Adéle!】

A death script that left me both amused and exasperated appeared. I laughed because I encountered finally a “BOSS” who wasn’t so serious about wanting to kill me, but I cried because…

This death script was clearly a peach blossom debt! Your Majesty Adéle, if I weren’t Oujili De and hadn’t met Clefair, we might have already consummated our marriage. Who wouldn’t like a cute elven loli with money, power, technology, and a cute contrast?

But unfortunately, I, Oujili De, have already found my “protagonist.” Can’t you just let me go?

Of course, I couldn’t say that.

“I will solve the trouble with the treasure and that female envoy for you, and I absolutely won’t leave before that.”

Not only to compensate Adéle but also to consider Clefair’s script.

If I were to run, it would be after everything was resolved. After all, I couldn’t really stay here and marry Adéle. I heard that elves are generally older than they appear, so it shouldn’t be a problem, but… I always felt like I was doing some heavy industry here.

“A promise…”

In the next moment, Adéle responded, and for some reason, her mood in the script suddenly improved.

【Adéle’s mood greatly improved because of Oujili De’s statement!】

Before I could understand what in my previous words had made Adéle “happy,” this loli actually…

Pecked me on the cheek!

Peach Blossom Debt! This is Peach Blossom Debt! The last thing I want to get involved in is this kind of entangled debt!

However, there was no way out. I was firmly held by Adelf’s hands covering my face, and after a few vigorous pinches, I finally pushed her away.

“I wouldn’t mind doing something else, O’Keefe.”

“Forget it!”

Seeing that shy yet somewhat expectant expression on your face, I already guessed what kind of mischievous thoughts you had in mind! Come on, Adelf, don’t you fear that one day I might really catch whatever strange habit you have that’s the opposite of yours!
