Chapter 195 Night Attack, Adelaide! (3)

"Because a very troublesome situation has arisen, I want to get information about the game as soon as possible, even if I have to resort to this method. And, information about you, Adelaide-san."

"Eh? W-What does this mean?"

Adelaide was very confused.

Alfred just had a smile on his face that made it hard to guess what the smile really meant, and he didn't directly answer Edward's question.

"I want to propose a deal to you, Mr. Adelaide, in exchange for the information we both have. You certainly don't want to be in any danger to your life, or be forced to marry someone like Ulysses, right?"

When Edward heard Alfred say this, his first reaction was how could it be possible.

But the other party's confident attitude made Edward feel a little weird.

Although she also thought that maybe Alfred was just being mysterious and fooling her.

But Edward couldn't help but wonder if Alfred knew some incredible information, which was why he behaved like that.

It is better to be safe than sorry. Adelaide is now facing this eternal problem.

"What do you think, Mr. Adelaide?"

Seeing that Edward fell into melancholy silence, Alfred continued to put pressure on him.

"Huh?! I, I know, I can tell you the relevant information, but you have to tell me what you know first. Also, what on earth did you mean when you said I would be forced to marry Brady?"

Adelaide slammed the quilt hard with his little fist and yelled at Alfred.

She tragically realized that she had fallen into Alfred's trap, like a lamb in the mouth of a tiger.

Instead of continuing to waste time here, Edward decided to agree and listen to what Alfred was going to say.

At worst, I can just cheat later.

"Pfft, that's just a lie to scare you."

"What...you, you bastard..."

Adelaide's cheeks puffed up in anger, and Alfred continued with a smile.

"But it's not completely impossible. Because I don't know to what extent those guys hiding in the dark intend to restore the originally designed plot, and how much effort they will spend to restore that boring script."

"The guy hiding in the dark?"

Adelaide was confused.

She didn't yet know how shocked she would be by what Alfred said next.

It was to the point that Edward forgot that he was only wrapped in a bath towel, which he hadn't wrapped too tightly. He jumped off the bed in a panic, grabbed Alfred by the collar, and asked him if these things were true.

Well, as expected, the unexpected happened.

The bath towel on Edward's body slipped off during the intense activity, and Alfred had probably seen most of what he should and shouldn't see.

Although he felt ashamed and angry about this incident, the news Alfred brought had a greater impact on Edward.

After Alfred left, Adelaide lay on the bed with mixed feelings.

She was also unsure how much she should believe Alfred's words, and whether she should agree to cooperate with Alfred.

"Fenli, what do you think I should do?"

"Ahhh~Ahhh?"

Fenli, who was lying next to Edward, tilted her head in confusion.

Her reaction was as if she was asking Edward why he asked such a stupid question.

For some reason, Edward could now understand more and more clearly what the child meant. It was obvious that the little wolf cub had been howling from beginning to end.

"Fenli, you bad guy, how dare you call me stupid~! I will teach you a lesson."

Edward threw Fenli into his arms and rubbed her head and wolf ears randomly.

“Ahhh~Ahhh~Ahhh~!”

Fenli screamed and struggled desperately, as if trying to express her innocence.

"By the way, you were having a great time with Alfred when he broke into my room without permission. How dare you betray me, your master? I will never forgive you."

Adelaide increased his force a little.

“Ahhh~ Ahhh~!”

"I didn't do that, it was all for Onee-sama!" Fenri said vehemently.

"Huh, how could that be for my own good? And, forget about Emilia, why are you so close to Alfred? Could it be that you have been deceived and bribed by him?"

"Ao~? Aoao~Aoao~"

Fenli seemed to have given up and lay obediently on the bed, allowing Edward to manipulate her body.

This was her way of saying that Adelaide wouldn't believe anything she said anyway, so just do as she pleased.

"You, you damn girl..."

Adelaide was really angry at Fenli's attitude, but she still chose to let Fenli go.

Because she suddenly thought of a book she had picked up inexplicably before.

That book describes a tragic war that the empire experienced not long after Adelaide was born.

Although the rumor circulating in the empire now is that Brady's father Ulysses made great contributions in that war and was called a hero for resisting the attack of tens of thousands of monsters alone,

However, the book records that the reason why he was called a hero was simply because of the factional struggles within the imperial palace at that time.

In order to squeeze out the Marquis of Lespinasse (Elajer's grandfather), who led the second largest faction in the palace, Duke Leopold, the leader of the largest faction at the time, and seize the position of prime minister of the empire and monopolize power, he secretly obstructed the transportation of supplies to the front line.

But he went too far.

Although his disgusting act of blocking the supply line did lead to the destruction of Count Lindberg's family guarding the front line and many eastern nobles who were biased towards Lespinas, it also led to a large-scale invasion of monsters into the imperial territory.

These monsters that poured into the empire's territory invaded from the east to parts of the southern territory, causing great damage.

In order to cover up his own failure and shift the blame for the defeat to the Count Lindbergh family, which had lost its head and almost all heirs and was in a state of leaderlessness, he praised Ulysses as a hero in an attempt to divert people's attention.

From Adelaide's point of view, the statements in the book are actually quite credible.

Although she had never met the hero himself, no matter how nice his son Brady sounded, he was still a pretty bad scumbag.

And he is really weak, without any demeanor of a hero's son.

After all, he lost miserably to that nasty Alfred, and Roderick, who also stank of scum. To say that this guy is the descendant of a hero, then the hero being praised is a bit too unlucky.
