61. The Yellow Robe
Compared to the somewhat unwilling Ke Fei’er, I have no regrets about Nilu’s nonchalant departure without a scratch. Rather, I feel more fortunate: although Ke Fei’er managed to escape Nilu’s death script with a last-minute “breakthrough upgrade,” it is clear that Nilu, who is not our opponent at this moment, has suffered no damage due to the numerous fairy treasures she possesses. Continuing to entangle with her would only be detrimental to Ke Fei’er.
In the end, this “agreement,” which could only determine the outcome between Nilu and Ke Fei’er, concluded with Ke Fei’er’s upgrade breakthrough and Nilu’s harsh words. With the help of the big Ying Empire personnel, we quietly returned home overnight, pretending as if nothing had happened, after all, this place was to serve as the venue for the final session of the summit of various nations.
However, during the car ride back, looking at Ke Fei’er, who had fallen asleep on my lap after finally relaxing, I couldn’t help but wonder: would Nilu really leave like the Rockets, throwing out a useless harsh remark and departing ?
Because in the script, she had not given up at all!
[Nilu has not given up on obtaining Euclid!]
Later, at noon.
Even after experiencing a fierce battle, Ke Fei’er and I could not afford to lie around lazily. As important members of the big Ying Empire, we had to hold on until the end of the final session of the summit, keeping a close eye on several important “big news” that would be announced on the last day.
So, after a brief rest, Ke Fei’er and I went to meet Queen Louise IV, straightening our postures and forcing ourselves to calm down to attend the final session of the summit!
At this moment, within the meeting.
My gaze fell upon Nilu, sitting at a distant table, who was casting me her usual smile, seemingly confident that Ke Fei’er and I would not make a fuss about last night’s events. She attended the meeting as if nothing had happened.
Even though my heart was tumultuous, I had to suppress my emotions; after all… this was the most critical moment for me at the summit!
“Ahem! Ladies and gentlemen, regarding the earlier interruption of the ‘Warrant for Euclid,’ I, Ikusis, in my capacity as the Holy Maiden of the Church, have reached a suitable prophecy.”
Holy Maiden Ikusis was earnestly discussing the warrant for Euclid. Earlier, this foolish Holy Maiden’s little thoughts were likely due to her directly recognizing me as her master in her fairy form last night, causing her to disappear from the script! In the current script, Ikusis completely hopes for the cancellation of my warrant.
Finally, I could have Ikusis clear my name, but to achieve this, I was entangled with a foolish fairy, which truly left me both amused and exasperated.
“My prophecy indicates that the warrant for Euclid can be revoked, as many of his actions are questionable, even pointing towards him bearing responsibility. Although he is a dangerous charlatan, it is not severe enough for every nation to have a warrant out for him .”
“Thank you, Your Highness, Holy Maiden. Then the big Ying Empire will cancel the warrant for Euclid.”
Louise IV took the lead, followed closely by Letty and Adelf.

I hope this translation captures the essence and atmosphere of the original text!
“I, Rosia, have never issued a wanted notice, tsk, really, what a hassle.”
“The Kingdom of Prussia will no longer investigate Euclid. I hope everyone will refrain from troubling us.”
With several major powers making such statements, the minor nations at the summit naturally echoed their sentiments.
As I let out a sigh of relief, the script I had long awaited finally appeared as I wished.
【The wanted notice for Euclid is hereby revoked!】
I hurriedly turned my face away, least my excitement and relief appeared suspicious.
Finally, finally! After coming to this world and being forced to play the role of the villain for so long, with all sorts of blame and accusations weighing on me, preventing me from finding peace, I clung to Kephiel’s leg, and at last, the day had come when I could clear my villainous identity!
In the next moment, the death scripts of “stabbed by so-and-so” vanished completely! This was the best proof! Not only that, even when I turned to meet Kephiel’s equally joyful gaze, and accidentally developed a little crush on the big shot, there was no sign of any death script!
To put it simply: I was no longer the villain! Now, not only could I marry Kephiel, but I could also take her home, into bed, and do all sorts of things, OOXX and the like, without any danger whatsoever!
I was cleared! I was free! I could soon marry the strongest, most amazing heroine in the script! I had reached the pinnacle of my life!
“Ahem…”
In the next moment, the light cough from Louis IV snapped me back to reality; I had to be happy, but I needed to return to that happiness—there were still matters at the summit to address!
While I was certainly glad to clear my name, the situation with Nilu was far from over.
“Alright everyone, let’s conclude the matter of Euclid.”
Saying this, the queen turned to Nilu, speaking slowly, her eyes holding a smile I couldn’t quite decipher, sending a chill down my spine.
“Next, we will discuss the matters of the Unfathomable Land. Since it seems to hold little significance for everyone, the Great Yng Empire will not impose further obstacles. I will send some minor conditions to the Unfathomable Land, but of course, we must announce things in advance. Starting today, our nations will recognize the existence of the royal authority in the Unfathomable Land. By the way, Miss Nilu, could you tell us what name you plan to take?”
Nilu did not respond immediately because… her smile and gaze were still directed at me, unwavering even as others turned their attention toward her.
In the next moment, the joy in Nilu’s eyes intensified. I didn’t want to engage, but just like the warmth reflected in Nilu’s gaze, my script suddenly took on a strange new content!
【Nilu is already pre·pared.】
Pre, prepared!?
I looked sharply at Nilu, who had already begun to speak with a smile.
“The Unfathomable Land is built upon the ruins of a lost dynasty, so I would like to carry on the name of that dynasty.”
A glimmer seemed to flash in Nilu’s eyes, beautiful yet dangerous.
“The Rodmar Empire, a title you may all use to refer to our nation in the future.”
Regardless of what I thought inside, the surrounding minor nations, constrained by the occasion, still applauded Nilu, and the queen happily offered her “sincere” congratulations.
“Congratulations, Miss Nilu, it seems we will soon be calling you queen.”
Everything seemed to be going smoothly, but…
In the next moment, a sense of danger made me shiver!
“You misunderstood, Your Majesty, Queen of the Great Yng Empire. I did come here hoping for everyone’s confirmation of the royal authority in the Unfathomable Land, but I never stated that I would be the next ruler of the Rodmar Empire.”
Nilu’s gaze remained fixed on my face, so gentle, so joyful, so expectant, as if this wonderful event was not for her, but… for me!
Meanwhile, the death script that had just vanished from my mind reappeared once again, and this time it was more numerous and dangerous than ever!
【Oujili De was killed by enemies!】
【Oujili De was assassinated by an assassin!】
【Oujili De was murdered by agents sent from the country of the Unforbidden Land!】
…
【Nilu is already prepared.】
The last script made me understand everything, but it was already too late to stop it!
“The king of the Rodmar Empire has only one, and that is the Lord Oujili De, whose bounty you have just revoked, a dragon that shows its head but not its tail.”
Nilu showed me her most radiant smile, and the surroundings fell silent, leaving only Nilu’s excited proclamation.
“He is the emperor worthy of our loyalty to the Rodmar Empire.”
“And he is the only master I will serve forever.”

To be honest, I spent an entire night writing these last three chapters, and I hope the outcome is satisfactory.
PS: This volume is not the grand finale; rather, it’s just the beginning after leaving the novice village. I won’t end it with such a small word count.
