91. I will give you an irresistible proposal
There’s no need for me to elaborate on the specifics to these two fairies; we set off into the night immediately, and our destination, of course, was the palace of the Plouce Kingdom where Aidefu resided.
It was only this morning that I had raised Aidefu’s suspicions, and after finally finding an unexpected excuse to leave and make preparations, here I was, running to find her again that very night. No matter how I thought about it, this behavior seemed too hasty. But the problem was, at this moment, I had no choice. The content of the script had clearly informed me: if I continued to “ponder Aidefu’s secret,” the result would be mutual destruction—Aidefu would definitely send Uncle Zerola back to the Great Ying Empire, and then, this fairy midget’s target would naturally shift to me.
I was unwilling to see either of these outcomes, so… regardless of whether I could find Aidefu’s “secret” next, I had to act immediately and meet Aidefu again.
I originally had the right to meet Aidefu again, and for the Plouce Kingdom, it was not unusual for guests to visit late at night. We carried proof through numerous checkpoints and soon arrived within the Plouce Kingdom, guided by the fairies to meet Aidefu.
At this moment, on the road.
Urasilu, who seemed to understand what I wanted to do, frowned and looked over, then slowed her pace slightly, coming to my side to whisper, “I find it hard to understand why you would go to such lengths for a man.”
“Hey, what do you mean, Your Highness?”
Please don’t look at me with such a twisted perspective.
“Whoever it is, if there’s a chance to save him, I will definitely do it.”
If ordinary people feel this way, how much more so for Uncle Zerola? Even though he had shown… none of the elegance and calmness I remembered from that morning, I still didn’t want to just throw him aside and let him become a ” passerby” in the script or some other identity.
Anyway, I might not think of a “reminder” for Aidefu while waiting, so I might as well act immediately.
Finding an excuse to shake off the fairies following us, I relied on my memory of the layout of the Plouce Kingdom palace and headed straight for Aidefu’s office. However, while I could bluff my way through the previous checkpoints with the documents I had, this last barrier was a bit more challenging.
In my line of sight, Aunt Mei’er was guarding outside Aidefu’s office. She was not surprised to see us, so… there was no room for leniency.
“Three of you, the visiting hours of the King of the Plouce Kingdom have already passed. Next is His Majesty’s private time, and it cannot be disturbed~”
Although Uncle was strong, this was their territory, and ultimately, two fists could not fight four hands. If I delayed until tomorrow, Aidefu would probably have already sent someone to drag Uncle back to the Great Ying Empire.
“Stop it, the Plouce Kingdom operates on a 24-hour system; this trick won’t work on me.”
I didn’t even need to look at the script; with my understanding of the Plouce Kingdom, I had enough reason to barge in.
Although surprised, in the next moment, the gentle big sister from my memories displayed a completely different, hostile attitude.
“Your power is only enough for you to see Her Majesty once; the second time is merely a verbal promise. We haven’t believed you yet, human.”
【Mel began to doubt Euclid’s actions.】
“Who gave you the courage to want to see Her Majesty Adéle now?”
It’s not courage; it’s the script.
Aunt Mel, I might be able to avoid provoking you with your hostile script, but the one that just appeared and is now being emphasized again makes it impossible for me to just stand by.
【Adéle made the decision to repatriate Zerola.】
From the content, it seems that Adéle, who is probably working late in the office right now, has already made plans regarding the uncle. We can’t wait any longer!
My unusual actions immediately alerted Mel, but just as she was about to call for other elves in the court of the Kingdom of Plutus for “safety’s sake” to “scare us away,” I had already seen her script.
If possible, I didn’t want to casually change someone else’s actions, but the situation is urgent, and I couldn’t afford to think too much.
“Stop right there! Otherwise, even if you have a decree, I will…”
“【Mel cannot call for help.】”
As soon as the words fell, Mel’s previously low growl was abruptly “choked back” by herself! Immediately, Ludwig, without waiting for my command, had already cheerfully grabbed the neck of the elf in front of him; this guy really loves to fight .
“Urasiru, keep an eye on your sister; if she accidentally twists, I happen to… know Mel.”
Ignoring Mel’s astonished gaze and her resistance, I looked at Urasiru, “And… you all just wait outside. Regardless of success or failure, I will most likely come out soon.”
“Yes, Mr. Euclid.”
【In her anger, Mel kills…】
“【Mel is powerless.】”
After changing the script of the elf Mel one last time, I opened the door and walked into Adéle’s office.
As I closed the door, the familiar feeling returned to my mind. Even though the Kingdom of Plutus has “restored,” Adéle’s room in front of me is exactly the same as I remember.
After all, the era of “restoration” only applies to the Prussian Kingdom. At least the arrangement in Adéle’s room remains as it was the last time I left. My gaze falls upon the warm light illuminating the desk not far away; however.. . the chair behind the desk is completely empty.
Adéle must be in the office; otherwise, the light wouldn’t be on. So she must be…
“…”
As I sensed the script, I also felt something hard pressing against the back of my head. Immediately, Adéle’s cold voice came through: “Are you people from the Great Empire in such a hurry? Go back; my schedule is currently for rest, and there’s no extra plan prepared for you.”
【The displeased Adéle shot O’Keefe!】
The death script appeared alongside Adéle’s low growl.
If possible, I would certainly want to have a gradual, “friendly” exchange with Adéle. Unfortunately… I don’t have the luxury of time for that now, so some things, even if I am unwilling, I can only take action…
“No, Your Majesty Adéle, now you have an extra plan.”
I quietly altered Adéle’s actions in the script. When I turned around, Adéle’s short gun was already pointed at her own temple, reflecting the surprised expression on the elf’s face before me.
“Don’t be nervous; this is just a little magic trick for you, Your Majesty Adéle.”
In the next moment, I took the gun from Adéle’s hand and tossed it aside.
“By the way, this is also to prove to you: I really have an urgent matter that requires me to meet with you at such a misunderstood time.”
I looked at the elf in front of me, who was nervously clenching her teeth, and slowly spoke.
“You… won’t refuse, will you?”

After the recent chapters, I plan to divide this volume into two parts.
Otherwise, there are too many chapters, which affects the reading experience, though the content will certainly be continuous.
