61. Stinky DD

A crisis emerged, and the content of the script mercilessly told me: this persistent Silver Knight, sent to find the Elven Saintess and also seeking revenge on me, if he smoothly began the search of the little princess’s residence, would surely discover traces of our presence!

The problem was: even though I had initially reminded the little princess of various ways to cope, when faced with the “threat” from her sister’s subordinate, despite her insistence on not betraying us, the third princess didn’t seem capable of dismissing him with mere words.

Moreover, I had no time to wait! After all, while I was watching the script unfold and pondering how to prevent the next events from occurring, I was eager to find our Silver Knight and had little patience left for the little princess’s response, urging her impatiently.

“Princess Ilushir, I give you one hour to immediately bring your servants to accept our White Knights’ inspection, and then temporarily leave this palace. Only after our White Knights have completed their inspection and confirmed that the Elven Saintess and her accomplices are not here can you return!”

The words of this supporting character, the Silver Knight, sounded as if he had reached a certain level of arrogance. Without a second thought, he demanded that the little princess, a genuine princess of the kingdom, hurriedly leave her residence with her servants. Wouldn’t this cause her to completely lose face and authority in the eyes of the ordinary elven populace?

However, this also indirectly indicated something: even a “high-level worker” like the Silver Knight dared to act imperiously towards the little princess, which showed just how little regard she was held in. After all, even the little princess’s subsequent refusal was something the Silver Knight didn’t take seriously at all.

“But, Sir Silver Knight, this is my residence, my palace. Even if there’s an investigation, I can have my subordinates look into it myself…”

“Impossible!”

Before she could finish, the Silver Knight rudely interrupted her, his words laced with a hint of threat.

“The Elven Saintess has fled here with her accomplices. Who knows if Princess Ilushir has had any contact with her or if she’s been harboring her!? This is an order from the Grand Princess. Hand over all the tokens of the White Knights in the palace immediately, and then leave this place!”

“I am the princess here, not you! How could I possibly hand over the tokens…”

In the end, while the little princess remained defiant, the Silver Knight showed no fear or hesitation and directly made his move!

“Then, Princess Ilushir, I must apologize!”

With that, the Silver Knight stepped forward.

At the same time, a new script immediately unfolded!

[The Silver Knight snatched the token from the little princess.]

Goodness, he’s going for the token on her! This guy is going straight for it; it seems he wants to steal something while he’s at it, doesn’t it?

At this point, I had no choice but to act: if I didn’t stop this supporting character, the script would surely become increasingly uncontrollable. If the other party detected our presence, they would undoubtedly chase us down like a rabid dog, and we would have nowhere to go. The signal point that Kefer and Nilu had already prepared would likely have to be searched for all over again.

To put it another way, even if I currently appeared to be a “normal elven maid,” I was still a pure man at heart! The little princess in front of me had been steadfast in not revealing the whereabouts of the Elven Saintess; how could I just stand by and watch her be bullied?

What needed to be done was self-evident.

As the Silver Knight was about to grab the little princess’s hand and pull her over, I stepped forward, swiftly pulling the little princess behind me to shield her, and then confronted the Silver Knight.

Facing such an “elite supporting character,” it was naturally impossible to throw him with a shoulder throw, especially since I was currently disguised as an elven maid; how could I perform such an action that didn’t fit the “beautiful girl” persona? However, pretending to protect the little princess and directly knocking the Silver Knight aside was something I could manage.

With a shoulder bump, I pushed him away. Unfortunately, this guy had a strong sense of danger; otherwise, my knee would have just inadvertently greeted his vital area. After knocking the Silver Knight aside, I lowered my voice and threatened, “This is Princess Ilushir’s town. Outsider knights have no right to interfere with Princess Ilushir’s authority.”

My action of standing in front of Ilushir made it impossible for the Silver Knight to ignore me.

He still hasn’t recognized my true identity; it seems he merely regards me as a meddlesome servant, disdainfully scolding me and waving his hand as if trying to shoo away a fly.

“Go away, this is no place for a servant like you to speak!”

Huh? Choosing to argue instead of resorting to violence? If that’s the case, then I truly have nothing to worry about.

“A servant… should be addressing the Silver Knight, shouldn’t you?”

His gaze swept over me; just a moment ago, wasn’t he boasting about his master and treating the little princess behind me like a mere vase? Hmph, the timing is just right—let me help this handsome fellow see reality!

“Wha… how dare you, you servant…”

“What I am or am not is none of your concern; first, take a look at yourself, Silver Knight.”

I didn’t give the Silver Knight a moment to retort; I directly interrupted him.

I may not dare to claim many things, but when it comes to “arguing,” in this world, I am invincible—no one can defy me, the one with the power of the script.

“You might think Princess Ilushir is just a vase, but if we follow that logic… then what are you? A worker? That doesn’t quite compare to a vase, does it?”

With my gaze fixed on him, I had hundreds of ways to make this guy in front of me explode with rage in the next moment.

“Perhaps it would be more fitting to say… a pet dog?”

“Uh!?”

“Now, let’s continue. A dog can indeed look down on a vase, thinking itself favored by its master. But if that foolish dog were to break its master’s favorite vase… haha—by that very night, it would find itself on the dinner table, stewed.”

“……”

After a moment of silence, the Silver Knight finally reacted, his face turning as red as braised pork. He no longer cared about the situation and, in a fit of rage, drew the great sword he always carried!

“How dare you call me a dog!?”

【In his fury, the Silver Knight killed Oujilide!】

The familiar death script appeared, but with this, I could finally relax: I wasn’t afraid of anything else, but I was worried that this Silver Knight would just give up, not get angry, and start focusing on searching for the traces of the Elf Saintess. And now this minor character was desperately trying to waste time on me?

Hmph… then I have plenty of ways to deal with you, little brother.
