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?!"
Seventy-Fourth
Emily bit her lip, holding herself unconsciously to soothe the anxiety.
Their fun little vacation in Austerland was finally over, and the diplomatic summit they'd arrived for was starting that afternoon. Gone would be the fun exploration of the city and testing of local specialties.
Soon would be the endless arguing and debate and tense political dealing of a diplomatic summit between each nation in the land.
According to Adrien this summit would be so big that by no means would it be over that day, but this...would be the beginning, all the same.
She couldn't help but be nervous, given that a large portion of the summit would be focused on her.
There would be announcing her existence to the world, discussing the implications of the Keybearer arriving, probably contesting whether she really was the Keybearer, and negotiating the terms for her to go to these other places and seek out the other keys.
