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?!"

One Hundred and Forty-Eighth

They'd been working for hours.

As usual, time seemed to slow down as they passed it, each second dragging out interminably as they tried to sort through the stone slabs and get the hang of figuring out where they were.

After what seemed like an eternity, Merwyn's face brightened, and he waved a tablet around in the air. "Ha~! Found it! Escape~!"

Her head jerked up and she looked at him eagerly. "You found it? The correct...slab? With all three of us looking happy and definitely leaving?"

"Mhm, Mhm. Look!"

He handed the carving to Emily with a smile, leaning against her happily. "You look very cute, Wifey~" He hummed happily.

It was an image of Merwyn in the process of giving her and Adrien a thumbs up.

She peered at the images in the carving. "So...we just...need to work backward from this one."

It felt like a game.

Kind of like solving a crossword or doing a Sudoku.
