27. I’ve Caught the Attention of Another Rich Beauty (Please Vote~)
What does the true palace refer to? Could it be that the place where Nilu is currently staying is not a real “palace” at all!?
Before I could make sense of it, Nilu had already stood up and left, intending to lead the way with her fairies! And this behavior seemed very much like a “trap.” This time, it really wasn’t Nilu whimsically wanting to “ get rid of Kefir” and then “have me,” because at this moment in the script, Nilu’s purpose was as simple as she stated!
【Nilu wants to lead Oujilide to the true Rodmar Empire!】
The script had clearly informed me: Nilu knows a lot about the content related to Kefir’s “upgrade,” and I also understood that Nilu temporarily had no hostility towards Kefir this time, so… now was not the time to worry about whether I was being “taken away” by Nilu.
I exchanged a glance with Kefir, took her hand, and followed Nilu’s footsteps. It was clearly a very important secret for the Rodmar Empire, yet Nilu truly regarded me as the “Wang” of the Rodmar Empire, and as we left this dilapidated palace , she revealed even more secrets to me without reservation.
“Mr. Oujilide, the place you were staying before, although it can be considered as the ‘interior’ of the forbidden area, has absolutely nothing to do with the true Rodmar Empire.”
As we exited the palace, Letty stretched out her hand, and a gust of wind filled with dust swept by. Although I could see signs of life and towns of the Rodmar Empire in the distance, compared to the Great Ying Empire and the Rosia Empire , even if I remained impartial and fair, it still seemed somewhat desolate.
The inner city was like this, let alone those areas considered “forbidden.” The name of the forbidden area cannot simply be erased by the establishment of a new kingship. However, Nilu’s reaction did not seem like she was showcasing anything ugly; rather, with each step we took and the content of her words, I had already vaguely sensed the “secrets” of the Rodmar Empire.
“The forbidden area is built upon the ruins of a once-desolate empire. Perhaps due to the remnants being difficult to clear and the location causing disputes, the forbidden area has never been occupied by any nation. But that absolutely does not mean that the Rodmar Empire is just a wasteland that no one wants. I would never present such a thing to prove it to you, Mr. Oujilide.”
【The Rodmar Empire harbors secrets!】
“Kefir should know, right? The predecessor of the forbidden area.”
“Once a fallen yet powerful dynasty.”
Due to the plan, Ke Fei’er had no choice but to continue with Nilu’s words. Of course, Ke Fei’er’s reaction now was the same as mine—on guard against Nilu’s actions, yet… desperately wanting to know what Nilu was truly planning!
Never lowering her guard, she leaned closer to me, her hand pressing against the hilt of her sword.
“Nilu, where exactly are you taking us!?”
Because just moments ago, during Nilu’s ramblings, which felt like an introduction to us, we had already left the so-called “palace” where she had just been, heading towards a place completely opposite to the towns of the Rodma Empire, advancing through the ruins!
In such a desolate place, there couldn’t possibly be anything worth going to, even if she led us all the way there, right? Just as I thought this, Nilu suddenly stopped in her tracks!
“That’s right, it was a great dynasty, and the former king left some preparations for ‘just in case.’ Now, I can finally show you what I have obtained, Mr. Oujili De.”
She turned, smiling at me, and at that moment, Ke Fei’er immediately whispered in my ear.
“There’s a strange magic circle at play here; be careful.”
Having said that, she then sternly questioned Nilu!
“What are you hiding behind you!?”
【The Rodma Empire hides secrets!】
The script appeared! Accompanied by Nilu’s gesture of opening her arms and her smile that showed no sign of weakness against Ke Fei’er’s questioning, at some point, Nilu’s gaze once again fixed firmly on my face!
“Don’t be so tense, Ke Fei’er. I’m merely taking you to the true Rodma Empire. I know what I’m doing, what I want, and for what purpose.”
“So, some things that originally belonged to me, even if I obtained them, I wouldn’t be happy. I’m not preparing for myself, but for the man beside you.”
“As a proof of my abilities as your maid, to you, Mr. Oujili De, the king in my heart… Oh king, please… make sure to keep your eyes wide open~”
Nilu was on the move! She completely ignored Ke Fei’er’s vigilance, and once the various fairies around her transformed back into their respective forms and returned to Nilu, she reached out her hand.
In an instant, even someone like me could feel the “ominous aura” rushing towards us! Accompanied by a gust of wind, the originally barren land before us was suddenly replaced by another scene! It was as if a certain illusion had been lifted, revealing a “different world” that appeared abruptly!
After all…
As far as the eye could see, Nilu’s position seemed like a dividing line, with ahead being the most magnificent, an endless court! Along the sides of the carpet leading there, those “fairies” that I had rarely seen in the Rodma Empire were all kneeling!
I didn’t even need to look further at the script to realize what Nilu wanted to show me!
【The Rodma Empire has a true ‘palace’; the outside is merely a disguise!】
【Nilu’s true identity is the Rodma Empire…】
【The former king!】
Our appearance caused the fairies on both sides to kneel! However, before they could utter the word “king,” a single glance from Nilu made them panic and change their words as if they remembered something!
“Welcome, Lord Oujili De, our… king!”
What Nilu wanted to show me was what she had originally lost, and then she intended to use these to prove to me…
The purpose of the proof couldn’t be simpler…
【Nilu likes Oujili De!】
【Nilu wants to have Oujili De!】
【Nilu will stop at nothing to eliminate her rivals!】
After doing all this, Nilu happily spun around in front of me: “See, Mr. Oujili De, this is a true corner of the Rodmard Empire. Although there are still many places waiting for me to uncover, what I have achieved now is enough for me to proudly prove my preparations to you.”
“I will always wait for you to ascend to the throne that befits you, truly noticing everything I have done for you… as your only servant.”
I was not surprised, because… I could imagine anything unexpected Nilu might do to me now.
So, I was not at all tempted by this indeed… “gift” that would make anyone’s heart flutter. Not to mention, in the next moment, I had already proven that my thoughts of getting closer to Nilu would help Kephir.
【Kephir’s ‘treasure’ is related to the fairies of the former Rodmard Empire!】
Kephir held my hand tightly, and I… squeezed back even harder.
Don’t worry, Kephir, this kind of scene is nothing compared to you. I have already made my choice between Nilu and you.
