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?!"

Eighty-Sixth

They set out at dawn the next morning, and the lord of the manor seemed almost more concerned with sending Merwyn off respectfully than Adrien.

She supposed she couldn't blame him. Between the two, Adrien wasn't likely to do anything drastic like turn him into a frog, after all.

That...

And the lord did very much seem infatuated with the fae.

Personally, Emily thought if he ever got his wish granted and lived among the fae, even for a month or so, he'd be disabused of that notion quite thoroughly.

She hadn't wholly hated her time in the tower...but..well.

It certainly had been...an experience.

Especially the fae involved.

After they left, Merwyn cheerfully reached over to give her that pretty fae vision again, this time without even bothering to wait to ask or be asked.

Which was fine, because she'd been looking forward to it anyway.
