72. I’m about to transform!

The script indicates that these two elven princesses have clearly come to capture someone, fully aware of quite a bit already!

My instincts tell me: if I let Izalis temporarily set aside her escape plan and stay, the situation will become even more uncontrollable! Izalis is definitely going to escape, and she needs to do it quickly! But the question is: how can we possibly block these two “pursuers,” who are far more difficult to deal with than the previous silver knight?

The best solution would naturally be to have the two princesses’ younger sister—Princess Ilushir—stay behind to handle things. However, putting aside the fact that this little princess gets a bit nervous just seeing the silver knight, can she really hold off her two sisters, who frighten her even more? The key issue is that the little princess has the task of guiding the elven saintess to escape, so she cannot leave.

Thus, it falls to us to “block” them. In fact, only we can stay behind to buy time for Izalis’s escape. After all, some “methods” are only things I can accomplish…

Later.

These two dangerous “pursuers” indeed moved with remarkable speed. As the carriage hurriedly drove away, we, who were responsible for holding them off and delaying them, returned to Princess Ilushir’s palace not long after…

In the kingdom of the white-haired elves, Princess Ilushir and the second princess, Adrel, approached with an aura that would make ordinary servants retreat in fear!

Their faces, of course, bore an unmistakable expression of anger.

Fortunately, compared to that arrogant silver knight who was so full of himself, these two elven princesses at least retained the most basic etiquette. They did not immediately begin a rough search for the elven saintess’s whereabouts or intentions, but instead had to confront me, who was waiting on their path.

Under normal circumstances, how would these two elven princesses peacefully communicate with us, the “allies of the elven saintess”? They would likely have thrust a sword at us the moment they met. But at this moment, I felt confident that they would not strike!

Because this was the only way I could stay in Princess Ilushir’s palace to buy time, and it was something only I could do!

“Sister, your welcome is truly ‘timely.’”

Even with a hint of anger on her usually calm face, the elven princess Urasilu stopped in front of me, maintaining her composure as she greeted me.

Though I had surely annoyed her, at least I had managed to stall her and the increasingly impatient second princess, Adrel!

As for her calling me that, it was definitely not because her mind was in a frantic state, but rather because what awaited them in front of them was not “O’Keefe,” but their little sister, the little princess Ilushir.

Using the power of the fairy Zelus to disguise myself as the little princess Ilushir to buy time, while my true self escapes with the elven saintess, that was the decision I made. Although I didn’t know how long I could delay, and I was unsure if this disguise would be exposed, it was the only way to safely escort the elven saintess away while buying time.

However, in such a situation, I had to act like a fairy princess, and just performing that was already an “extremely high difficulty” task.

The anticipated “sisterly bond” moment did not occur. Now I understood why the Silver Knight had treated the little princess with such an aloof and rude attitude before, because…

Even this little princess’s own older sister wore a cold, stern expression when facing her younger sister, and at this moment, her demeanor was laced with a chilling yet calm threat, as if she “knew something.”

“I don’t want to waste time. Where has the saintess gone? Speak up, and I won’t linger here with you any longer.”

Just as I thought! Could it be that the imprisoned Silver Knight escaped? Or perhaps after recalling what happened that day, some way was found to relay the message back to the Grand Princess!? I was unclear, but the only thing I knew for certain was that the little princess Ilushir’s protection of the elven saintess had already been discovered by her two sisters, and it could no longer be concealed.

In that case, I might as well be straightforward.

“Ha… haha~ I don’t know, where does the saintess want to go? How would I know, sister?”

Like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, I wanted to project just that kind of attitude.

Sisterly love? No problem, we sisters are just wonderful! Ask me where the saintess is? I don’t know; go ahead and stab your own sister if you dare. With the identity of the little princess here, I thought these two “sisters” wouldn’t dare to act recklessly.

However, with a cold laugh from the second princess, Adrel, I suddenly realized: something was a bit off!

“…” As for the Grand Princess, after hearing her sister’s “trickery,” she was not angry; she simply… looked over calmly.

The sudden shift in attitude made me shiver involuntarily.

“Are you really going to continue like this?”

“!”

That didn’t sound like something an “older sister would say to her younger sister”! But…

“Do you really expect me to keep going, to continue playing with you in a way like ‘Sister, you should do this and that…’?”

By the time I sensed some “important situation,” it was already too late! The second princess, Adrel, had already drawn her sword as a show of force, and the Grand Princess’s gaze turned toward me, silently conveying a meaning that was far more than what her words expressed!

“The same trick won’t work a second time.”

Even before I could respond, the elf had already continued.

But what she said became more and more bizarre. Before I could even understand how she “discovered” it, more accusations—no, it was like she was making up stories—were thrown at me all at once!

“Since our positions are different, I won’t hold you accountable for killing the Silver Knight I sent to investigate the Saintess. But…resisting is meaningless, and even staying here is very foolish, isn’t it?”

Wait, wait a minute, the Silver Knight!? That flashy guy!? Wasn’t he imprisoned by the little princess!? Why did the eldest princess just say I “killed” him!? Are they talking about the same person?

The questions kept piling up, and I even felt like I was being “used” by someone! However, all these wild thoughts had to be put aside because…

The two princesses in front of me, although I didn’t know what methods they used, what information and judgment they had, it was certain that…

“Lord Euclid, how long do you plan to use our sister’s appearance in front of us? Do you think that just because you have our sister’s face, I would be too wary to make a move against you?”

They…had already discovered my identity!

In this case, continuing to pose as the little princess here would only make the elf in front of me think I was a pervert. And now, this situation, this danger…

Suddenly became much more troublesome, and…much more interesting!

I didn’t hesitate any longer. The black mist surrounding me dispersed, and in front of the two elf princesses, I returned to my original form! A fierce battle seemed inevitable!

The new book’s girl image is actually good.

How does it feel?

New book’s heroine (tentative)

The image is out. The setting is similar to the fairy in this book, with weapon materialization. It’s like a humanoid artifact~
