chapter 1097
37. We’ll talk about it later.
37. Whatever the matter, we’ll talk about it later.
In a sense, after finally “feeding” the queen, she didn’t engage in any “midnight knocking on my door” behavior that carried a deadly temptation. This somewhat relieved me, as it was now time for me to “get to work .” Naturally, I would need Kefer’s assistance to handle the lingering issues in Northern Ireland with the power granted by the queen, so I should go find Kefer and act together with her.
As for my absolute need to meet Kefer tonight, a more “visual” way to put it would be: the production team has collected the public grain.
At this moment, inside Kefer’s room. Although I was still babbling about the upcoming “task,” what I was really thinking about was what to say to fast-forward to the foreplay. However, Kefer’s reaction tonight seemed a bit off.
“In any case, starting tomorrow, we will investigate the local ‘nobility’ of Northern Ireland, or perhaps it’s more appropriate to call them gentry. After all, a large part of the troubles that arose after this ‘chaos’ is due to these people’s greed. Uh… Kefer, Kefer?”
I softly reminded Kefer, who had once again spaced out.
Since just now, my dear wife had seemed somewhat distracted, yet her occasionally dazed attitude didn’t feel like a reminder to me: stop babbling and get to the point!
Rather than “spacing out,” it felt more like… she was staring at me, pondering some unexpected thoughts. And this oddity finally revealed itself with my next sentence.
“If you’re not feeling well, staying at the lord’s manor with the queen isn’t…”
“!”
Kefer’s attitude suddenly became “intense,” and I finally understood which “word” had angered this big shot.
“How many times have you mentioned Sister Wang already!?”
“…”
“I know what you two have done, and because it’s Sister Wang, I’ve pretended not to see it. But! If you keep bringing her up every single time, why don’t you just follow her wishes and be with her directly ! Hmph, a talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven!”
Kefer’s attitude began to grow increasingly strange. This “strangeness” wasn’t due to her complaints about me, because… she wasn’t wrong; I should be kneeling on a washboard. This “strangeness” stemmed from her inconsistent attitude!
“Don’t just stand here with me, go out. I told you I wouldn’t mind, ugh… I said I don’t mind!”
Because in my understanding of Kefer, if she really wanted to punish my “infidelity,” it wouldn’t just be to tell me to get out; she would have beaten me half to death.
So, unexpectedly yet reasonably, I discovered something in Kefer that… didn’t make me happy at all.
【Kefer is in a state of “chaos”!】
The “chaos” that we had previously eliminated had quietly begun to exert its influence again! Although I knew well: what we had eliminated at that time was merely “a source,” the essence of “chaos” still existed elsewhere, but I didn ‘t expect this “temporary” state to be so short!
And, should it be my intuition, I noticed that this time’s “chaos” seems completely different from the pure slaughter and destruction “chaos” that previously occurred among the members of the Knight Brigade!
The scene before me prevented me from thinking too much, because to me: Ke Fei’er was affected, yet… not affected. She was in “chaos,” but those previous words were definitely her true feelings. I had to reflect on myself; ever since the queen arrived in Northern Ireland, I had been entangled with her for too long due to various reasons and pressures from the queen.
So, I… did not immediately use the power of the script to change things, even though I felt I could forcibly rewrite Ke Fei’er’s mood; it still would have just been a normal apology.
“I’m sorry, Ke Fei’er. From now on, I will pay attention to the time spent with the queen, not letting her lead me around by the nose.”
“So I said I wasn’t at all… uh, ugh, chaos! What are you still dawdling for!?”
Ke Fei’er’s initially strong response eventually turned into a low growl. But at that moment, she seemed to have reacted!
In the next moment, the Order Fairy flew out beside me.
“Am I not just waiting to see if you have the qualifications to be ‘me’? How pathetic, needing the master to remind you.”
With a tone of mockery, the Order Fairy still waved her hand to make changes to the script—Ke Fei’er changed her own script.
【Ke Fei’er cleared the “chaos”!】
After doing all this, Ke Fei’er looked at me again as if she had “awoken from a dream.”
“Sorry, just now I was actually…”
“Affected? It’s okay, whether affected or not, I still need to apologize.”
Seeing that Ke Fei’er was still a bit frustrated, I… of course had to set an example—coming to her side, and even if it was a bit strenuous, I had to lift my wife up for a stretch.
“Let’s not think about anything else for now, okay?”
“If there’s something on your mind, if there’s a problem, we… can talk about it later.”
Indeed, the meal cooked at home is much more comfortable to eat than the luxurious full-course Western meal of the Great Ying Empire.
…
By the time Ke Fei’er and I had almost emerged from the “aftertaste,” the night had already deepened. And the Ke Fei’er, who was holding my waist, was in a much more normal state than when she forcibly dispelled the “chaos.”
Could it be that because she “received the public grain,” the “chaos” simply disappeared?
Just as I was lost in my thoughts, Ke Fei’er leaned in closer, resting her face on my shoulder and blowing softly into my ear.
“Diviner, it’s strange. ‘Chaos’ clearly has no physical form anymore, so why does it still appear?”
“…No, perhaps the physical form has already manifested; we just can’t perceive it.”
But right now, I wasn’t in the mood to dwell on that. To deal with “chaos,” I could only address the people affected by it one by one. Even Ke Fei’er had been influenced; it was hard to imagine how much “potential” chaos still exists in Northern Ireland.
It seemed that I needed to be more cautious in handling the “aftereffects” in Northern Ireland. They called it aftereffects, but perhaps… it was a new “chaos” at work.
Moreover, Ke Fei’er mentioned something the next moment.
“This time’s ‘chaos,’ I feel like it’s different from before.”
“Different?”
“Yeah… After I found out about you and Sister Wang, I felt very… jealous and uncomfortable, but when I’m with you, that feeling gets much better.”
Uh, dear, that should just be your simple jealousy, right?
But if that’s the case, then your “aftereffects” should be easy to resolve, I…
“Ugh, we just finished, what are you going to do now!? Go to bed early!”
“I’m trying to cure the ‘chaos’ in you, Ke Fei’er.”
You don’t believe me? Look at my earnest eyes and meticulous technique!?
