35. The Flamboyant Tyrant
Due to our identities, we had to keep a low profile in “this era,” but when it came time to “stand up,” I had no intention of being meek. Coincidentally, I was reaching my limit with this flamboyant and arrogant elf knight, so now… it was time to act!
“What…”
For a moment, the elf man, taken aback by my sudden “bystander” remarks, was about to respond, but then he froze, realizing that no matter how he answered my question, the outcome would be similar. If he truly had a deep infatuation with the elven saintess yet still maintained a lofty, self-important demeanor, it could only mean he was remarkably foolish. If everything happening today was a result of following the princess’s orders, then it indicated that his heart was already tainted enough to waste his handsome face.
As for the truth, I couldn’t care less about the disputes of a mere supporting character. I just needed to know: since Izalis couldn’t respond right now, I had to step in to help her out. And after saying this, I inevitably drew attention to myself, facing the elf silver knight while also bracing for some content I had already prepared for!
【The elf silver knight harbors hostility towards Euclid.】
【The elf silver knight wants to kill Euclid.】
My own “death script” has indeed appeared; it seems that no matter where or when, my identity as the “big villain” consistently brings me unwarranted disaster.
However, at this point, I no longer feel particularly tense about the malice of such “minions.” Moreover, the reaction of this fellow, who was just provoked by my words, is quite amusing.
Finally realizing that no matter how he answers my question, he is the one at a disadvantage, he is likely experiencing the irritation of being “diminished” for the first time in his life. For a moment, he glared at me with eyes that seemed ready to tear me apart. But anger aside, this elven man quickly recognized the situation and managed to suppress the fleeting rage that could have twisted his handsome face into a grimace, continuing to maintain an air of “nobility, elegance, and tolerance,” with a face that looked like it was about to crack under pressure, gazing down at me from his lofty position.
I had been somewhat puzzled before, but now I am certain: this elven silver knight is essentially just a supporting character.
In the next moment, he forced out a smile that seemed on the verge of breaking apart.
“Excuse me, who is this…”
“I’m standing right behind the Saintess; who else could it be? It seems your brain isn’t the only thing that’s a bit dim; your eyesight isn’t great either.”
The frequent time spent with Alsace has resulted in me being completely unfazed by this ostrich tactic; I have plenty of ways to retort.
“And don’t try to change the subject. As I said earlier, matters concerning the Saintess should be decided by her alone. She has indicated she needs to think it over, yet here you are, blubbering in front of her like a clown.”
Pausing, I glanced at the script regarding this elven man and added, “You don’t really think that all women should act like those street flowers, falling for you the moment they see you, do you? Look at you.”
“Y-You bold fool!”
The supporting character before me was so enraged that his face went from red to purple, and finally to a shade of green!
In the next moment, he prepared to draw his sword in such a setting!
“How dare a mere white knight mock and confront me!? Can’t you see this armor I’m wearing…”
“Who cares about that? Aren’t we discussing the safety of the Saintess? With your tendency to draw your sword at the slightest provocation, you should reconsider what you just said about ‘bringing happiness.’ How credible is that, oh Silver Knight?”
【The elven silver knight, enraged by Oujili, stabbed him to death!】
In the next moment, the death script I now face became even clearer with my words! But this is exactly the outcome I wanted: the other party’s various “forced marriage” tactics leave Izalis with no way to respond. As long as I can drag this man into a vulgar and impulsive area, I can rely on my rich experience to defeat him.
Because…
The true intentions and thoughts of anyone can appear in my script. Want to act noble and put on airs in front of me? Dream on. Trying to use these underhanded tricks to take away the Saintess? Hmph… then I’ll expose the ugliest side of your heart!
“You ignorant fool…”
What I’ve been waiting for is this moment when you draw your sword, ready to kill me!
“Oh dear, Silver Knight…”
After reading the script, I took a step back, dodging the rough swing of his sword that came out of anger, then lifted my head to meet his gaze directly.
“Your current demeanor is quite different from how you started. Given that you seem very dangerous, I must fulfill my duty as a protector.”
So…
“【Stay away from the Saintess.】”
I only intended to threaten this guy a little; if he continued to act foolishly, it would give Izalis more reason to refuse this “forced marriage,” and I wouldn’t have to worry about my safety—after all, I still had two powerful allies behind me who hadn’t made a move yet.
However, what surprised me was that as soon as I finished speaking, the elf man who had just been eager to stab me with his sword… really stopped moving! He stood there, frozen in the posture of drawing his sword, as if he had been punched in the face, and then… to everyone’s astonishment, he awkwardly retreated in silence.
It wasn’t just me who found this strange; even the elven princess across from me looked utterly astonished, clearly caught off guard by the Silver Knight’s behavior.
And even stranger things were yet to come!
It was one thing for him to back away from Izalis, but the next moment, he actually planned to leave the room without a word!
“Silver Knight, Silver Knight!? Tsk…”
He didn’t even heed his master’s command. This bizarre action finally caused the previously calm princess Urasilu to grow increasingly anxious, rising from her seat.
“Apologies, Saintess. It seems my subordinate is overly nervous today, leading to some reckless and uncontrolled behavior… I will discuss what just happened with you in detail later!”
With the supporting character gone, she couldn’t play the matchmaker alone, so after throwing out a line to cover up, she quickly left to chase after the supporting character who had already exited.
Her actions marked the end of the scene in the script!
【Urasilu temporarily leaves!】
【Urasilu decides to plan further later!】
The script indicated that, no matter how you looked at it, this princess had no intention of giving up; she would likely resort to some underhanded tricks against Izalis later. But…
At least today, this sudden cliché of a “forced marriage” had been dealt with by Izalis!
