16. Working Stealthily, Telling Kfeier Not to Drip
I mustered my courage, resisting the pressure and the inevitable romantic impulses that any man would feel in such an environment, and revealed my purpose to Queen Louis IV—clues about the new fairies.
Initially, Kfeier learned about the “main storyline” in the Rodma Empire—powerful and dangerous self-disciplined fairies—after which the Thunder Fairy, Zousi, immediately came into my view, saving us the time of searching. In the end, after much negotiation in Rosia, we finally got that irritable big sister to acknowledge Kfeier.
But after that, I realized: the remaining self-disciplined fairies were not easy to find at all. Up until now, I had only known descriptions of the other self-disciplined fairies from the script, and there was not a single word more. Relying solely on Kfeier and my own strength to search was akin to finding a needle in a haystack. So when I discovered that the script indicated the Queen had clues, I decided to seize the opportunity to ask her.
“Besides the Thunder Fairy that Kfeier has already obtained, do you have any clues about other fairies, Your Majesty? If you have no reservations, please tell me.”
In such moments, I couldn’t waver, so I stared directly into the Queen’s eyes. Normally, I wouldn’t dare to make such a request so casually; if the Queen caught me off guard, it would be incredibly difficult to shake off. Fortunately, the script had clearly stated that the Queen was willing to help this time, allowing me to ask without hesitation.
“!”
For some reason, the Queen, who had just moments ago been poised to seduce me, suddenly blinked in surprise and hurriedly averted her gaze. This was quite a girlish action. By the time I realized, “Could it be that the Queen is shy?” she had already regained her composure and developed a temporary resistance to me.
“The Empire of Rodma Fairies, that exists only in the records of history, O’Qilid. To suddenly inquire about something from a dusty history book, you wouldn’t be indirectly questioning my age, would you?”
“Your Majesty…”
Fine, fine. If it weren’t for the script indicating that 【Louis IV is concealing her nervousness.】, I would have definitely put on a show and argued with you tonight.
Knowing that her thoughts had been “predicted” by me, the Queen pretended to sigh dramatically: “How could the young Queen of the Great Yīng Empire possibly know such things~ However, I will help you inquire with some troublesome old-timers in the Great Yīng Empire later. Those ancient fellows, whose ages are beyond counting, might know something.”
After a pause, the Queen smiled, “Does this answer satisfy you?”
The Queen’s attitude towards others is always masked beneath a facade of innocence, but the promises she makes seriously are absolutely binding. With such assurance, I knew I had achieved my goal.
“Thank you very much.”
However, what I didn’t expect was that getting away from the Queen at this moment seemed not so simple.
“Well then, I shall…”
Go back to sleep. Before I could finish that thought, the familiar script appeared: 【Louis IV continues to seduce O’Qilid.】
I silently lamented in my heart: Is the Queen in heat? Meanwhile, the Queen had left her bed and, with her long legs, quietly approached my side.
“What’s the rush? Didn’t you just say? This is merely a normal favor, unrelated to the help you provided me before. Therefore, O’Qilid, my previous ‘reward’ for you can still continue~”
Like a fairy, the queen, who had just been by my side, twirled around to stand in front of me, her whole being seeming to want to leap into my chest. “Do you remember what I said by the seaside? Based on the results of your help, you will receive a corresponding reward~ And this time, I am very satisfied with the outcome, so you can also have a ‘wonderful night.’”
In that moment, as my whole body shivered under the stimulation of this temptation, the queen suddenly seized my wrist and placed it against her chest. The overly bold action left me so flustered that I momentarily forgot to push her away!
“Do you want to see the swimsuit from before again? You can, you just need to unbutton it.”
The script appeared, leaving me speechless in my panic!
【Louise IV has been preparing for a long time!】
Today, I had just come to report the situation unexpectedly, but the queen… could it be that she had been ready from the very beginning? Had she even put on the swimsuit in advance!?
“Why not give it a try?”
She pressed closer, and at the moment I retreated, she shifted her weight onto me. As a man, my instinctive reaction was to prevent the girl from falling alone, so unable to dodge, I was easily toppled by the queen in this straightforward manner.
No, no, Your Majesty, this shouldn’t be happening! And don’t forget, I am…
As if anticipating what I wanted to say, the queen’s moist cherry lips parted, our faces so close that I could hear each other’s breaths clearly.
“I won’t tell Kephiel, I’m not that foolish~”
But you’re a queen, shouldn’t you be a bit more…
“And do you think I would just throw myself at anyone?”
The queen’s eyes sparkled like stars, and without the script, in this situation, I was completely at her mercy! All I needed to do was close my eyes, and perhaps I could truly experience the “wonderful night” as the queen said, but… the continuous content appearing in the script made it impossible for me to relax.
I refused not only for myself but also for the queen, who had been acting increasingly strange towards me these past few days. Ever since I arrived at Glamorgan Castle, the queen’s attitude towards me…
“Your Majesty, why are you so ‘eager’?”
I pushed the queen away and hurriedly fled. The lingering scent of the queen on me was surely impossible to wash off, but at least I needed to tidy up my disheveled clothes! The queen had always been “subtle” in her pursuits, teasingly keeping me wanting more, but recently, she seemed ready to swallow me whole!
Such bizarre behavior had reached a point where I could no longer ignore it. Moreover, the script indeed confirmed this!
“Eh? Eager? Hehe~ Not at all, it’s just me being deliberate~”
What was in her heart was completely different from the queen’s feigned demeanor!
【Louise IV is concealing her feelings!】
But even if I exposed it here, it would be meaningless; after all, the best way to stop the queen was to quickly escape from this amorous atmosphere.
“Then be a bit more reserved! Do you want us to be killed by Kephiel later!?”
“Sigh… What an unromantic man you are, do you really understand what ‘affair’ means?”
I don’t know, I don’t understand, I won’t!
“Anyway, I’m leaving! Your Majesty, please don’t be so ‘impatient’ next time, or others will really notice!”
“……”
Ignoring the queen’s reaction, fearing that if I lingered any longer I wouldn’t be able to escape, I seized the opportunity of her silence and dashed out the door.
At that moment, the door closed, and the mischievous smirk on the girl’s face was gradually replaced by a rising sense of helplessness.
“Looks like I still can’t do it… Really, Louise.”
“Then there’s no choice but the final method…”
The girl bit her lip, as if she had made a firm decision.
