53. I Love Watching You Argue
From any angle, she could be considered a high-class, rich, and beautiful elven girl, questioning me with a tearful and aggrieved expression about why I wanted to “run away.” Her pitiful appearance even softened the heart of Kfeir, who initially wanted to leave with me. In such a situation, who could still “harden their heart and just leave”?
Leaving was naturally out of the question, not to mention that at that time, Adev had even begun to harbor a death script in my storyline due to love turning to hate. With Kfeir also softening, I had nothing more to say and chose to stay temporarily, following Kfeir’s lead.
Originally, I had planned to run away to prevent Prulus from being caught up in the threat brought by Nilu, this big BOSS. Now that I was staying, I had a way to deal with the trouble Nilu had caused directly, right?
Later, inside Prulus.
After deciding to stay and handle the matter with Nilu, the newly promoted big BOSS’s maid, Kfeir and I spent some time finally managing to cheer up the unexpectedly somewhat childish Adev.
However, what I didn’t expect was that on the side of Louis IV, the beloved Queen of the Great Yng Empire had left behind some harsh words that were very ruthless, very much in line with the Great Yng Empire’s style. But… I truly couldn’t understand what Louise was thinking; as soon as she returned, she immediately began to demand people from Adev of the Prulus Kingdom in her capacity as the Queen of the Great Yng Empire.

This is it, at this moment these two big shots who are communicating remotely are still arguing.
In the projection illuminated by the magic stone, Louis IV, accompanied by Professor Moriarty, maintained a calm demeanor, smiling as he lied to Adève.
“Miss Adève, I just heard today that you have captured that wanted criminal, Oujilide, who has been causing havoc in my Great Ying Empire. So, as per our previous agreement, could you please fully extradite him to my Great Ying Empire for processing ?”
Clearly, we had met not long ago, but now Her Majesty the Queen was flipping her attitude faster than turning a page, directly reverting to her original statement, trying to use this roundabout method to bring me back from Plouress.
If Adève didn’t know me, she would probably have handed me over without hesitation. Unfortunately… now, regardless of whether Adève had Louis IV’s lies, she could not possibly let me go.
Moreover, Adève wasn’t that foolish; she had clearly used various means to investigate something over the past few days.
So, this elven girl directly raised her middle finger at Louis IV in the projection.
“Louis, we’re both women, let’s not beat around the bush! The person, I have kept here, and he doesn’t plan to leave anytime soon. Where you went and what you did before, no matter what I say, you’ll just pretend to be ignorant, and I’mThis is it, at this moment, the two big shots who are communicating remotely are still arguing.
In the projection illuminated by the magic stone, Louis IV, accompanied by Professor Moriarty, was calmly and cheerfully lying to Miss Adelf.
“Miss Adelf, I just heard today that you have captured that notorious criminal, O’Keefe, who has committed numerous crimes in my Great Ying Empire. So, as per our previous agreement, could you please extradite him to my Great Ying Empire for processing?”
Clearly, we had just met, but now Her Majesty the Queen was turning hostile faster than flipping a page, directly picking up the initial statement, trying to use this roundabout method to take me back from Prussia.
If Adelf didn’t know me, she would probably have handed me over without hesitation. Unfortunately… now, whether Adelf had noticed Louis IV’s lies or not, she could not possibly let me go.
Moreover, Adelf was not that foolish; she had clearly used various means to investigate something during these days.
So, this little elf girl directly gave Louis IV in the projection the middle finger.
“Louise, we’re both women, let’s not beat around the bush! The person is already here, and he doesn’t plan to leave anytime soon. Where you went and what you did before doesn’t matter; you’ll just pretend to be clueless anyway, so I’m too lazy to waste time with you. But if you want him? No way~ you loser~”
“~”
Louis IV’s smile remained unchanged, but even through this ethereal projection, I could almost feel Her Majesty the Queen’s rising fury.
I hurriedly stepped forward to intervene; if the Queen got angry, she would really do something dangerous like snatching me away in the middle of the night.
“Your Majesty, Kefir and I really can’t go back right now.”
Louis IV suddenly showed a look of horror, hands clasped to her chest.
“Ah! O’Keefe! You are the one who has committed numerous crimes in my Great Ying Empire! You even night-attacked my chamber, taking advantage of my inability to resist to—”
“Please stop making up stories and don’t add fuel to the fire about things that didn’t happen!”
I even suspected that Louis IV was intentionally provoking Adelf, as the little elf girl’s face had turned quite poor just now.
To prevent the Queen from continuing to embellish her lies, I directly stated the reason.
“This is also what I was going to tell Miss Adelf. The Austro-Hungarian tribe, neighboring the Kingdom of Prussia, may have some ‘movements’ soon. Didn’t you say before that you didn’t want to bring trouble back? So now I really can’t bring trouble back.”
Perhaps it was a coincidence, or maybe the script had changed; after Kefir and I decided to stay, there were new developments in Nilu’s actions within the script, and the content had suddenly become dangerous.
[Nilu has contacted the chief of the Austro-Hungarian tribe.]
In my view, it was very likely that Nilu was using the same methods she had used on the minor characters and beastmen before, but this time reaching out to someone of higher status, the chief of the Austro-Hungarian tribe, probably a pretty strong beastman big shot.
After giving me a triple denial of “never heard of you, don’t know who you are,” Louis IV and Adelf asked in unison.
“So, what will happen?”
“The most likely outcome is that my identity will be exposed.”
Of course, this was just the most optimistic scenario I was willing to share.
In reality, my death script had already appeared; the dangerous script that had once been altered for Kefir had resurfaced because Nilu had escaped and hadn’t given up on her goal. Now, in the script where Nilu was the BOSS, there was no threat directed at me; all threats were aimed at Kefir’s upgrade, treasures, and even her safety!
What impact my exposure as “O’Keefe” would have on the two women, Adelf and Louis IV knew far better than I did. Adelf confidently patted her chest, assuring me, “It’s completely fine,” while the Queen reined in her smile , silently contemplating.
However, this time, I didn’t plan on troubling the Queen again. Owing her a favor was as dangerous as a death script; who knows when this scheming Queen would bring it up when I was cornered, leaving me completely defenseless.
So, before the Queen and Adelf expressed anything, I had already laid out my intentions.
“Therefore, I plan to extinguish this ‘danger’ before it arises, and I won’t cause trouble for you two.”
I stayed in Prulist not because I agreed to Aidefu’s conditions, but because I softened my heart for Aidefu, thinking to resolve the problems brought by Nilu right here, allowing Ke Fei’er’s once again dangerous future to become smooth sailing. I cannot overlook any threat to Ke Fei’er’s script, let alone this time… it’s Nilu, a soon-to-be max-level BOSS.
“Snuffing out or something… that woman has run off to Austria-Hungary, hasn’t she!?”
Aidefu’s eyes widened, “What can you do to snuff her out!? Anyway, I’m not like women such as Louise; my Prulist has never feared any orc. Why don’t you just stay here with me…”
【Aidefu wants Oujilide to stay.】
I knew Aidefu was thinking this, so…
“Miss Aidefu, really don’t underestimate her; her power is very dangerous, I’m not joking with you.”
“By the way, if you’re asking how to snuff her out…”
With a change of tone, I revealed a confident smile, “Have you forgotten? In your hospital, there are still two big fools locked up.”
Ge Luom and Gu Erdan, these two are orcs of status in the Austria-Hungary tribe.
