My Knight Rescuer is a Jerk! So Why should I ignore the Prince?

"Always remember, no matter how much a fae may seem like they experience emotions, no matter how human like a fae may behave...a fae can never be a human." The Keybearer. A young maiden from another world foretold by ancient prophesy, destined to collect the seven keys and save the world. Surely that's the kind of story that finds some plucky high schooler dreaming of adventure and whisks them off to find their true love, right? Overworked salary women like Emily have long passed the point where such fantasies can come true, and even if they did, it's not like she'd know the first thing about what to do. ...So of course, nobody even bothered to ask her before dropping her into an entirely new world full of magic and danger. Like the three hungry orcs eyeing her as soon as she wakes up. "What do you mean I can sense the keys if I use magic?! What magic?!" If Emily could, she'd have immediately issued a rejection letter, but unfortunately, the only way back is to finish her quest somehow. But it's not all danger and confusion. The knight who rushed into battle to save her is charming and kind and gorgeous, and the beautiful and lonely prince has a soft and kind smile only for her. If everyone she meets along the way is like them... Well. It can't be that bad, right? "...--I'VE BEEN KIDNAPPED BY A PAINTING?!"

Ninety-Eighth

Merwyn hummed as he walked merrily alongside her.

She hadn't invited him for the walk.

But in the end, fae couldn't be tamed, even when they were made familiars.

Nor when they were made into keys.

Merwyn did as he pleased, and at the moment that meant walking alongside her as she elected to explore the palace more.

She didn't really have a purpose - it didn't seem very likely she'd just randomly run into the...what was it?

The Wall Key?

Well, with a name like that it'd be a little bit funny to literally run into him, she supposed.

But while she had sort of just come across the other two keys by chance so far, she couldn't believe that was a reliable strategy.

And she had no way of telling even if she did. It wasn't like she recognized Merwyn being the fae key until he kissed her all on his own. And with Adrien...

She...

Couldn't decide if it was a fluke.
