41. The Most Unbearable Thing is My Wife Being Deceived
Perhaps in the plan, the queen indeed told us to have Kephir and Ludwig “perform,” but… in reality, this elf had no intention of “joking” with Kephir at all!
Previously, when facing Kephir, the forced departure due to identity and timing had already made this Sword Saint fixate on Kephir like a beast stalking its prey. This time, she directly picked up the “dual swords” from the very beginning, no longer engaging in the futile effort of wielding the oversized sword against Kephir.
Sword Saint Ludwig came with a serious intent to kill!
“!”
Realizing this as well, Kephir immediately drew her sword, no longer hiding anything. The Ice Fairy Alsas transformed into a magical sword, deflecting the first sword of her opponent, and then called upon the Thunder Fairy Zousi to summon a second layer of power. The leaping lightning allowed Kephir to leap back and evade Ludwig’s second strike!
“Hey, this great emperor was having a beautiful dream, Sukar not… uh.”
The summoned Jousi was about to unleash a torrent of words, but her gaze immediately fixed on Ludwig. “White-haired girl, how did you manage to provoke a woman as cancerous to the world as this one, Blet? Speaking of which, Sword Saint Ludwig, this woman is still alive? I thought she had long since ascended to immortality in her pursuit of power.”
You can tell me about the old stories of Ludwig later, Jousi; for now, focus on supporting Kephir!
Because… this Sword Saint has no intention of adhering to any “agreement,” whether it be with the Moon Fairy, the Queen, or my plans—she is simply an uncontrollable, unexpected trouble!
Clearly, holding two swords of the same weight, Ludwig’s speed at this moment far surpasses that of the oversized sword formed by merging the two. Kephir had barely created some distance, without even having time to respond with any magic, when she was once again forced back.
The so-called “magic against magic,” “martial arts against martial arts” fairness is nothing but a delusion here! Realizing this, Kephir no longer hesitated to use her magic, and in an instant, snowflakes scattered, and thunder roared!
At this moment, I dared not look at the script, but… the Kephir I know, as the true protagonist of the script, having just received the “Fairy” and leveled up, is certainly not weak! With both her magic and martial arts growing stronger, she has already reached the level of 1718.
However… perhaps now I slightly understand: why even the powerful parents of Kephir, the Dragon Overlord, are merely at the eighth tier, and why, despite being at the eighth tier, they can still handle Kephir with ease.
To travel a hundred miles is to cover ninety; perhaps… this seemingly ordinary last “tier” in human evaluation standards actually falls short by far, even… more than I imagined!
“But, Kephir, why do you keep glancing to the side?”
Ludwig, wielding a heavy great sword, was able to leap into the air, meeting the approaching lightning with her blade, and then…
She swept it away! The overwhelming power of the lightning fairy Jousi was already enough to break through Alsace’s defenses!
“What a hassle, what a bore, your sword isn’t even prepared for me, and I can’t gain any power at all…”
In the end, Kephir chose to block, but Ludwig’s other great sword sent Alsace flying!
Transformed into a fairy, Alsace immediately flew back into Kephir’s hands, but… Ludwig had already turned her back, yawning as she slowly walked away, leaving Kephir, who remained motionless, ignored.
After all… that brief moment was already enough time for the two women to determine the outcome! As for the result, in my view, there’s no need to think too much; arguing… is utterly meaningless.
“How boring… because orders can’t simply resolve things, what a hassle…”
Ludwig yawned while retracting her dual swords into the void. “Next time, can you not drag me into doing such things? It’s so troublesome… Kephir, since your mind is filled with thoughts of men while wielding your sword, why not put the sword down and study your ‘sheath’ instead? Sigh~ what a hassle…”
The end, it’s over…
Should I be happy or anxious? Because just now, Kephir was genuinely threatened for her life, but at least Ludwig didn’t strike!
No, I can’t look at the script just because of Kephir’s defeat; it’s not the time yet. Kephir, we have more important things to do!
“Kephir!”
I rushed forward, only to be embraced by Kephir, who had bowed her head and lunged at me. In that moment, the girl’s silence left me unable to discern her feelings, even the quiet sobs—were they real or just an act?
Because…
“I’m sorry… I made you deliberately lose.”
“……”
I did it on purpose, according to the “script” that the Queen required of us: Kephir would “struggle for three hundred rounds” with Ludwig, then become exhausted, evenly matched, each leaving with harsh words.
After that, if Nilu’s fairy appears, Kephir can handle it; if not, it is said that Ludwig will personally take care of it.
However, I don’t intend to follow this script! For some doubts have gradually emerged, and I need to keep Cepheus in good physical and mental condition so that… I can carry out the plan I’ve prepared.
The price for that is: letting my dear fiancée suffer the humiliation of another “loss.” However, this feeling of being humiliated, if my judgment is correct, I will repay it in multiples very soon!
“Let’s go back, Cepheus. And… will you still believe in me?”
“What are you talking about?” Cepheus raised her head and wiped away something from the corner of her eye. “I’ll believe you no matter what you say.”
“Mm… then we can continue, and in addition, we can also let Uncle Zelola and Professor Moriarty ‘begin’.”
Some of my questions are about to be answered.
Because…
[Faint allusion to the fairy Ignis’s appearance!]
[Ignis is closing in on Euclid and Cepheus!]
The fairy that Nelu sent is finally here!
And just as I thought, there is no “that” content! No… script of Cepheus’s death!
This is completely different from what the Lunar Fairy told us, so…
Miss Lunar Fairy, what is your intention for ordering us like this?
Let me unravel the “mysterious and illusionary” power within your script.
