5. Wang 8 Dan, open the door!

Ever since being subdued by Queen Louis IV with the line, “Kefir, the Queen’s intention in doing this is for the good of Oujili De~,” Kefir had obediently followed the Queen’s orders, no longer thinking about the engagement that had initially made her so happy.

I don’t feel regret! I really don’t feel regret at all! I’m very happy! Just look at how joyfully I’m smiling! Hahaha!

Alright, I admit, I feel a tiny bit regretful about the beautiful girl slipping away. But I also understand the importance of the upcoming “Summit of Nations.” Even if the Queen’s motives are not pure, this is still a quarrel to “whitewash Oujili De,” and as the party involved, I naturally cannot expose myself; I must honestly cling to Kefir’s thigh and wait for the outcome.

However, that sudden turn of events, which looked like a script for my “failed whitewashing,” made me realize that the upcoming Summit of Nations would not go smoothly. So, I had the Queen arrange a position for me to disguise myself beside her , allowing me to participate in this “discussion” alongside Kefir and the Queen.

At this moment, while the “big bosses” from other countries were still preparing to arrive at the Great Yng Empire, I was told to “not be too arrogant” and could only stay in Kefir’s private residence.

With one less person in the residence—Nilu—I felt a bit strange and empty. Just as I was about to check if there would be any changes in Nilu’s vague script, a figure suddenly walked in from outside the door.

“Stinky diviner, what are you doing standing in Nilu’s room, grinning at her belongings!?”

It was Kefir’s voice, and didn’t that just catch me red-handed!? I was about to explain that I was just checking Nilu’s script, but then I noticed: was there a hint of shyness in Kefir’s voice? Surely, it couldn’t ‘t be that she was feeling shy because Nilu wasn’t home after returning?

All these questions became clear the moment I turned around, and by the way…

I was stunned.

Standing before me, a bit awkward and uneasy, was a white-haired girl I was very familiar with yet also very unfamiliar with. Familiar because she bore the likeness of the great Kefir, with her voice as well; unfamiliar because…

Who on earth was this princess who had descended upon us? I absolutely had no objections to Kefir’s usual preference for convenience, casual dresses for ease of movement—after all, no matter what she wore, even if it was just a shirt, she could still be so charming. But today, Kefir had unexpectedly changed into a white gown, transforming in the blink of an eye from a domineering figure to an elegant, beautiful, and noble “Princess.”

How could I not be stunned!? When I finally came to my senses, I realized I had unconsciously taken a few steps toward Kefir, almost reaching out to touch the hem of her dress! Kefir didn’t seem to have any intention of running away; she just stood there increasingly shy, nervously playing with her fingers.

Fortunately, Miss Alsace was very considerate and provided me with a refreshing service, bringing me back to my senses.

“Look at your horse, you stinky man, crawl for me!”

I calmed down, and I was fine. But Ke Fei’er seemed quite displeased with Alsas for interrupting the atmosphere, and she directly slammed her onto the table to keep her in check. Then she turned to me, and the face that had just complained about Alsas was suddenly flushed with shyness.

“This… this is what Sister Wang prepared for me, to be used at the summit. Since I have to accompany Sister Wang to various events, I can’t be too casual…”

After a brief pause, Ke Fei’er’s gaze subtly drifted to my face. Perhaps she was so nervous that she forgot: at this distance, in this private setting, it would be hard for me not to notice whatever she did.

“Ou Ji Li De, um… how, how is it?”

I didn’t even need to look at the script to know that Ke Fei’er was definitely asking this question. As a qualified man, I should have at least come up with a lengthy compliment by now, but after holding it in, I could only manage two words.

“Perfect.”

It was no surprise that Ke Fei’er wouldn’t be satisfied.

“…Why does it feel like your answer is completely devoid of emotion?”

That’s because, Ke Fei’er, your current appearance is just too noble and aloof, making it impossible for me to even entertain a single wicked thought like “I want to push you down”!

Let’s be honest, how else do you want me to prove it? Just push you down directly?

My hesitation made Ke Fei’er start to doubt her outfit. After silently glacing at her attire, she bit her lip and quietly complained.

“Then I should just change back.”

“No, no, no!”

Right now, I would love nothing more than for you to take my hand and show me off in the street! What do you mean by suddenly changing back!? Satisfy the vanity of this unworthy man!

My instinctive tug on Ke Fei’er’s arm made her shudder in surprise, but this reaction at least somewhat proved my current feelings to her. The result…

Neither of us moved; we maintained this posture, almost close enough to touch each other, silently gazing into one another’s eyes. I could clearly see the thoughts flickering in Ke Fei’er’s eyes, but…

Just hold on a little, big shot. You wouldn’t want your beautifully new outfit to get stained by something strange, would you? And just as I was about to find an excuse to ease the peachy atmosphere while observing Ke Fei’er’s little thoughts, I unexpectedly stumbled upon some very unflattering news.

【Adele has arrived at Ke Fei’er’s estate!】

That little elf girl is here!? Although it’s for the summit, what does it mean to come directly to Ke Fei’er’s house!?

Sure enough! The next moment, a voice called out from outside Ke Fei’er’s private residence.

“Hey! I know you’re in there! Open the door for me!”

“Do you have the guts to run away from your wedding but not to open the door!?”

Hey! Adele! You’ve come, but don’t spout nonsense about running away from a wedding! Aren’t you just wishing for my death script to be more dramatic!?

I wanted to go out and pull Adele in, but Ke Fei’er grabbed me by the arm.

“Don’t go!”

“Hmm!?”

“This is our time…”

Ke Fei’er turned her face away. “You don’t need to know what’s happening outside. Instead of that, think of how to compliment me! Can’t your predictions even come up with something like this, you charlatan?”

Don’t treat my predictions like a treasure chest.

I… I… Is it not enough that I admit it!?

I began to rack my brain like an elementary school student trying to figure out how to write an essay, especially with the new script that had just appeared: [Reiti arrived at the Kfeier family’s estate.] and the strange sounds coming from outside.. .

“Hey, you little elf, who were you yelling about eloping just now?”

“Huh? I’m looking for my person, what’s it to you? Electric dwarf.”

“Roar~ Do you know you’re stealing my Rosia’s person?”

“Hah! The person I, Plou, am stealing is precisely your Rosia’s!”

[Crackle crackle]

Outside, the thunder and lightning soon erupted.

Forget it, I don’t care what’s happening outside; first, I need to appease the great Kfeier!
