47. The Secret of Beautiful Women is Abundance
Opportunities must not be missed; they will not come again! Another chance has arisen to fundamentally disrupt the death script from “this era.” I have no leisure to continue playing “duel between men” with that supporting character, the Silver Knight, at such a time.
Why has he suddenly “lost it” again? Whether he lives or dies is no concern of mine. As the important script unfolds, I have already swiftly left this place with Nilu, heading to find Kephir. Because: this is an opportunity to disrupt the future death script, but it is also a “death danger” faced by the elven saint, Izalis.
“Your Majesty, this ‘death’ that has appeared this time is…”
“Pure White Nun Urasiru’s.”
On the way there, I answered Nilu’s confusion while also confirming the current events in the script.
Without a doubt, the future death script involving the white-haired elven triplets likely originates from “this era,” when they, still princesses, committed “some bad deed” at a certain moment. And these “bad deeds,” it seems, are all related to the key in the script—the elven saint Izalis.
For reasons so cliché that they bore me, it appears these two princesses cannot tolerate Izalis’s existence. Previously, it was the second princess, and this time, the dangerous script comes from the eldest princess!
[Urasiru wants to eliminate the elven saint.]
Such content in the script is quite similar to the previous death script concerning her sister and the elven saint. So…
As long as we replicate the previous method and thwart the eldest princess’s malice, her future death script should also disappear, right!?
“Your Majesty, I can already sense Kephir’s presence!”
“Mm…”
Nilu’s reminder brought me back to my senses. The self-disciplined fairy accompanying Kephir—Lunar Fairy Elith—has temporarily turned the bright day into night, signaling us. After this, thanks to my connection with Kephir, finding her and Izalis should not be difficult!
Soon, I cast my gaze and spotted Kephir! There she was: standing in front of the elven saint Izalis, protecting her. Although I don’t believe she would face any opponents in “this era” given her strength, she still chose to ensure Izalis’s safety throughout.
On the other side, the figure casting hostility towards Izalis behind Kephir indeed matched my judgment perfectly! The first princess of the white-haired elves, Urasiru, is the one who wants to “do bad things” and eliminate the elven saint!
My so-called “duel” with that Silver Knight seems to be nothing but a ruse. This princess intends to take advantage of the moment when the three of us go to the “duel” site to strike at the isolated Izalis. Although now, this princess’s plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain will never succeed!
“!”
At the very moment I appeared with Nilu, the Grand Princess had already noticed our presence! In this era, she was not yet a “saint,” nor did she possess that troublesome power of “domains,” so naturally, she was no match for Kephir.
Thus, it seemed that she, aware of her diminishing chances to “eliminate the Elf Saintess,” finally lost the calm and composure she usually wore, casting a look of surprise in my direction.
“You…”
“Your subordinate has lost so thoroughly that he’s left with nothing but his underpants,” I replied coldly. “Grand Princess, I believe I mentioned that you shouldn’t think of taking advantage of the situation to do anything to the Elf Saintess.”
No, she could think about it, but whether it could succeed was another matter entirely.
“Tsk…”
In the next moment, a hint of displeasure crossed her face, as if she were unwilling to accept her first defeat, and she voiced a complaint that held no real significance.
“People from foreign lands… you truly meddle too much, foolish to the point of no return… you have no idea what I am doing…”
As she spoke, the elf slowly retreated, clearly indicating her intention to give up.
As for her words, which were akin to what Team Rocket would say after being defeated, I paid them no mind. What I should be thinking about now was what to do next; after all, our enemy this time was not some street thug, but the genuine first princess of this kingdom, the white-haired elf!
Having saved the Saintess once again, but what comes next? Should I try to use “negotiation” as I did when dealing with the second princess?
While I pondered this, I noticed Izalis’s face light up with surprise at my appearance!
“Lord O’Keelid, I knew it had to be you…”
She didn’t care about the occasion, spouting words that were no different from flattery as she floated toward me!
At least from what I could see, Izalis was in good condition and had not sustained any injuries. With that, having thwarted the Grand Princess’s “evil deed,” her death script should also disappear in the future, right? Thinking this, I felt a bit relieved and turned my gaze to the script, hoping to consider the next plan, only to…
In the next moment, I discovered…
【Izalis’s Death!】
The death script of the Elf Saintess was still active!?
My hand trembled for a moment; clearly, the Grand Princess had chosen to retreat, yet Izalis’s death script had not vanished, which meant…
There’s more!?
In that moment, I clearly saw in my line of sight the serious expression on the face of the long princess, as if she was about to play her final card. Yet, when my mouth finally caught up with my thoughts, it was still a beat too slow!
“Yi…”
As I spoke, it was not the long princess who appeared, but another figure that suddenly emerged! Targeting me was the joyful elven saintess, Izalis!
It’s over! In the script, the ones who wanted to eliminate the elven saintess were two princesses. Now, while Kephiel had stopped one of them, I had let the other slip by! The second princess, Adreel, in the script, I had only prevented her “death script” in the future, not her death script against the elven saintess in this era!
The long princess, Urasilu, had kept a hand hidden!
The purpose was clear, the strength was formidable, and this sudden turn of events even left Kephiel and Nilu unable to intervene in time!
Was it my oversight? Was there still time to stop it!? Could I still prevent the death script of Izalis from happening!?
For a moment, I didn’t know what I was thinking, but what followed was even more surprising!
A flash of white light passed by; it was clearly an ambush, and although the elven saintess Izalis herself shouldn’t possess any formidable power, she still did something that “bounced back” the second princess, Adreel, who had come to ambush her!
If it were just ordinary magic, that would be one thing, but for those of us who were somewhat familiar with magic and the “fairies”…
At this moment, the elven saintess Izalis, whether it was the “mark” gradually appearing in her eyes; or the “aura” that was uncontrollably emanating from her due to the recent incident; or even the script that had suddenly emerged in my mind at the same time…
All pointed to one undeniable fact.
Izalis’s death script had temporarily vanished, but…
This elven saintess was actually…
A “fairy”!?
