75. Despicable Outsider!
The carriage carrying the Elf Saintess Izalith and the little princess was still rushing forward, but unfortunately… the destination they were heading to was completely opposite to the direction initially planned.
No, it might be exactly the same as the initial plan, but this was not someone else’s plan, it was the little princess Ilusil’s plan.
“Saintess, for your safety, I suggest you don’t think about jumping out of the carriage or anything like that.”
Noticing the abnormality of the Elf Saintess beside her, the little princess Ilusil moved closer to her. The short sword, originally meant for “self-defense,” had now become a means to threaten her not to act rashly.
In fact, such a threat was meaningless because Ilusil knew very well: the Saintess would not resist. The reason was simple…
“After all, you have nowhere to run now. Compared to being captured by my two sisters’ men in front of the entire kingdom, I think it would be more dignified for you to quietly return with me without anyone knowing. Besides, look…”
As she spoke, the little princess Ilushir opened a small gap in the curtain.
The long journey had blurred Izalis’s sense of time, and it wasn’t until a dim yellow light shone through the gap that she realized it was already late evening, with the sun about to set.
“You don’t have any time left to escape. Since I have no grudge against you, please don’t make me use force~”
Behind her carefree smile was a much more relaxed demeanor and attitude. But there was nothing wrong with that, as it seemed that the elf princess’s “plan” had been fully realized.
So, all Izalis could do was remain silent.
Isolated, unable to escape, time running out… Each of these factors constrained her current situation and future, and served as evidence of the little princess’s confidence in successfully “kidnapping” her.
“Princess Ilushir, I underestimated you before. Indeed… sisters are sisters, and you are no less capable than your sisters.”
Except for… one thing, except for… the one and only thing.
The next moment, the elf saintess, with a hint of a relieved smile, whispered, accompanied by an unusual occurrence!
“Unfortunately… you kidnapped the wrong person.”
Black mist swirled and gradually dissipated. As the little princess’s expression turned to surprise, the elf saintess Izalis returned to her original “form”—which, of course, was me.
After all, I had just figured out the question that had been bothering me for days: why did the little princess Ilushir, among the three elf sisters, have no malicious content in our script from beginning to end!?
It now seemed that her purpose, which began before our first contact, was already “malicious”! Her help and cover for Izalis and us were indeed helping us, but also helping herself, helping her deceive her two sisters at this moment and bring back the saintess, just to prove her “ability.”
If I wanted to stop her malice and disrupt the death script, I could have done so long ago!
Fortunately, it wasn’t too late. As I realized this and stopped her, I also “held back a hand.” The “image of the elf saintess Izalis” I just used was the proof.
“You… your appearance…”
Finally, the confidence was gone, and the little elf princess returned to her previous nervous state. However, this time, it wasn’t an act; she was genuinely panicked.
Ah~ that’s more like it. To be blunt, this was the expression I had been waiting for, the one that was no longer an act but genuine nervousness!
Those who plot against me must pay the price.
“Surprised, little princess? In your words… it’s very simple. Because you don’t trust me, and I don’t trust you, so it has become this ‘simple’ situation~”
In the future, the three elf sisters who became “saints” have a genuine death script for me, so… I wasn’t naive enough to think that in this era, the youngest princess would not do something “malicious” to us just because there was nothing strange in the script.
Since the little princess in the script has always been helping us, the only possibility is that she has been hiding something from the beginning. Since the little princess did not do anything “malicious” until the end, the only possibility is that her act of helping us was already a form of malice.
Before the final escape plan was confirmed, I had already taken advantage of the night alone with Izalis and the subsequent outings with Kefir and Nilu to set up the “preparations.”
The content is not that complicated: I asked the two girls to secretly send the real elf saint away a day in advance and temporarily hide her! And I, along with my fairies, put on a “cooperation”: since the three princesses more or less knew that I could change my “appearance” with the power of the fairies, I simply performed a special trick for the three elves – a transformation nesting doll!
I became the elf saint, and Zerus’s body became me! After all… no one said that only I could become someone else, and others couldn’t become me, right? Layer by layer, even I got a little dizzy. The little princess in front of me, and possibly the other two princesses on Zerus’s side, were not surprised that the three elf sisters fell for it.
However, in reality, I did this just for insurance.
“The disguise was just to test your true thoughts. Although the current result shows, Princess Ilusil… you are no different.”
I sighed, “As for the real elf saint, do you want to guess where she is now?”
This question was just a joke.
After all, in the next moment, with the familiar script appearing, I felt both nervous and relieved.
[The elf princess Ilusil wants to kill Euclid.]
This familiar script has finally arrived!
Sure enough, you three sisters, no matter what era, are always so uneducated! But I have to thank you!
Because if I completely stop what you are doing now, whether it is the “threat” in the script of this era or the death script you three sisters have for me in the future…
This time, it will be completely and cleanly eliminated by me!!
“You… damn foreigner!!”
After the shock, the face of the elf in front of me was filled with anger that matched the death script!
Immediately, in this narrow space, the little elf princess Ilusil raised her sword and stabbed at me, who was only a few inches away!
