Please Be A Traitor

Chapter 65 Part 3

“The Duke warned me not to flirt or play tricks.”

“Then, is wearing the robe related to flirting?”

“Eye contact is also considered flirting.”

“The forest elves are extremely strict.”

“Isn’t it human custom that eye contact indicates interest in the opposite sex?”

Salik tilted his head and stared at me.

I averted my gaze, feeling burdened by the handsome man’s gaze.

Indeed, eye contact considers as flirting.

“But you didn’t really mean it when you asked me to touch you the first time we met, did you?”

“I mean it.”

“Ah…… so you were truly playing a trick on me.”

“St-still, we’ve become open-minded these days. So holding hands does not always imply that we will be companions for the rest of our lives.”

“How about touching the ears?”

Once, Salik’s ears perked up.

His awkward smiles and averted gazes suggested that he hadn’t become that open-minded.

Ahem, ahem… Salik said, clearing his throat.

“I can finally tell you now. Actually, I contacted Elysium immediately following our first class. And I also received an immediate response.”

“You get the response right away?”

“It’s a request to Inaila rather than a response. Besides, His Highness and the Duke got the report about the answer.”

“My father heard the Elysium’s request?”

“Yes. Wasn’t Inaila allowed to do that by the Duke? Elysium asked to meet and speak with Inaila in person. But I thought it was impossible the moment I heard it. I wasn’t expecting you to come so easily.”

No wonder my father and Karpel seemed overly sensitive whenever I mentioned Elysium.

It was because they were aware that Elysium had requested to meet with me.

When I heard that Elysium wanted to meet with me, I was a little nervous.

I worried that they might wondering what a 13-year-old girl wanted to say about their country.

I was also worried about whether I could negotiate properly.

But, if I think about it differently, it’s possible that their purpose in talking to a child is simply to see if they can trust me.

Because it was the Empire who broke the agreement first, and Krenberia did not cooperate with Elysium at the time. As a result, they must find it difficult to believe me.

So, wouldn’t it be better to prove our sincerity first in order to gain a little of their trust?

“I now have my father’s permission to leave. When are we going to leave for Elysium? I’m excited to go now that I’ve decided to go.”

“Once Inaila has set a date, I will contact them and arrange to meet you at the border.”

“Are you not coming with me, Salik?”

“I cannot come back to the Empire once I leave the border. Because I was only granted permission to remain within the Empire. I went out to the Nitro Estate two months ago and had to stay at the gate for three days because the passage permit had not been issued.

It would be embarrassing if you became involved in such a situation.”

I wondered if such a problem would really occur if he accompanied me to Elysium, but it wouldn’t help me if the Emperor learned that I had guaranteed the identity of an elf forest to pass the border.

“Okay. I’ll set a date and inform you in the next class.”

“Shall we then begin the class today?”

Ah…… so I still have to study.

As I opened the book, the door burst open.

It was a Karpel, his eyes savagely raised.
