Chapter 309: Chapter 307 Eugene Geraint Approaching_1

"...Essentially, that’s the situation."

Annan summarized his itinerary for the next few days, "If all goes well, I should be able to return within a week."

Upon hearing this, Kafney nodded gently.

"I understand."

Then, with a tilt of her head to the left and a puzzled expression, she asked,

"But why... are you telling me this?"

At this moment, Lin Yiyi, who was standing by, quickly captured a snapshot of Kafney and, after cropping a part of it, added a caption below her expression that read, "Tiny eyes filled with great confusion," and uploaded it to the forum.

The two threads that Lin Yiyi had been regularly updating on the forum were [Collection of Annan’s Expression Packs] and [Collection of Kafney’s Expression Packs]. Due to Lin Yiyi’s diligent updates, these threads had been hanging on the homepage for a week and still hadn’t dropped...

Now, with Lin Yiyi’s growing understanding of the forum mechanics and the spread of Annan’s expression packs, her actions were becoming more and more outrageous.

For example, she had started transitioning from jpg to gif in creating expression packs...

But Annan could only pretend to know nothing about it.

Suddenly thoughtful, Kafney seemed to understand something, "Your Highness, are you asking... if I want to accompany you on the trip?

"Is it to collect advanced materials? Do you... need my protection?"

"...If you wish, you can come. But actually, I can go there alone, it’s safe inside the ruins."

Annan paused for a moment, then said earnestly, "I’m just giving you a heads-up.

"I cannot leave without informing you. If I were to leave secretly, and you didn’t know where I was... it might frighten you."

"...Do you think I’m some kind of small animal, Your Highness?"

Upon hearing this, Kafney’s lips curved slightly upwards, releasing her signature soft and ethereal voice, "I won’t be afraid.

"After all, I grew up alone..."

...I didn’t think you would be afraid, either.

Well, that’s enough, I suppose.

Annan nodded and said politely to Lin Yiyi standing beside him, "Then, during my absence... I’ll be relying on you to take care of Roth Fort."

"Eh?"

Lin Yiyi was surprised, "Your Highness, aren’t you taking me with you?

"Am I not your personal guard?"

"If I take you with me, traveling will be too slow. It will actually be faster for me to travel alone."

Annan’s voice was cool as he explained seriously, "I’m going to find the children... For me, all I need to do is follow the traces they’ve left behind, so there’s no pressure.

"If I encounter any danger, I will also seek help from the children—they will be closer to me."

"...Ah."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yiyi responded instinctively.

When the word "children" was mentioned, she couldn’t help but think of Defu’s recent brilliant shot.

...Are all these second-generation players monsters?

With that thought, Lin Yiyi couldn’t help feeling somewhat ashamed.

Aside from efficiently raising Annan and Kafney’s favorability, what else could she do?

So, amidst Jiu’er’s frantic barrage of emoticons, she gently embraced Annan, who was sitting on a stool, from behind, nestling his head against her chest and rocking it gently from side to side, while inhaling the scent of cedar and citrus that lingered on Annan.

It was only during these moments that she became acutely aware... how helpful the beautification options she chose when creating her character really were.

During Lin Yiyi’s high-intensity physical contact with Annan and Kafney, Annan had already gradually become accustomed to such close physical interactions. As long as it had no effect on him, he generally didn’t scold Lin Yiyi.

And he was very clear in his mind that this was already considered polite and restrained behavior among players...

Therefore, even though Kafney kept a steady gaze on Lin Yiyi, Annan didn’t have much of a reaction.

Of course, if it had been Muscular Baldy from Savorful Goose behaving like this, Annan would definitely have struggled desperately.

After all, the feeling of shampoo and naked strangling is obviously different...

Annan always had strong initiative.

As he said, he hadn’t come to seek help from Lin Yiyi and Kafney. He was merely there to bid them farewell. He had Lin Yiyi pack his luggage for him the day before.

After bidding farewell to Lin Yiyi and Kafney, Annan directly left Roth Fort.

But not even two hours after Annan left,

Kafney received an invitation specifically addressed to Tan Juan Geraint.

"...Eugene Geraint is coming to Roth Fort the day after tomorrow?"

Kafney repeated the cover of the invitation with a hint of confusion.

She fell into deep thought.

Kafney almost didn’t react... Who was Tan Juan again?

It seemed to be Prince Annan’s pseudonym...

On the other hand, Lin Yiyi, who was not often flustered, seemed a bit panicked.

After the messenger left, she asked Kafney, "Your Highness, should we hurry and call Prince Annan back? He shouldn’t have gone too far..."

"Call him back for what?"

Kafney turned back and looked at her curiously.

"Ah?"

Lin Yiyi was a bit stunned, "But the lord... no, the brother of ’Tan Juan Geraint,’ isn’t he coming to find him?

"Once he sees the prince, he’ll definitely recognize his disguise, right? So..."

"—So it’s an excellent opportunity for Annan to stay outside,"

Kafney interrupted Lin Yiyi, "This is good news, Yiyi. We aren’t lying... ’Our lord’ indeed went to look for advancement clues. Eugene Geraint is a very conservative person; he won’t cause any conflict with me."

Only at this moment could one see the cunning and authority of a princess within her, "As long as we get Eugene Geraint to leave before Annan returns, it will be fine. With me here, I won’t let him meet Annan."

Unlike her firm tone, Kafney’s voice was always soft, like a whisper in the ear of someone half-asleep, half-awake.

If it were an ordinary person, they might not catch what she was saying... but Lin Yiyi, having interacted with Kafney for so long, had long become accustomed to Kafney’s tone of voice.

...Eugene Geraint, huh.

Lin Yiyi murmured to herself, etching the name in her memory.

Is this going to be an NPC... or an elite enemy?

With Annan away these few days, she could just take a break, slack off and watch other people’s livestreams.

When Four Concealed Triplets and the others log on tonight, the kids are going to officially start exploring the Elves’ ruins.

What Lin Yiyi was most concerned about now was whether this guy named Eugene would be a hassle, to the extent of affecting her enjoyment of the show...

Yes.

When this noble named Eugene Geraint from the Royal Capital arrived at Roth Fort...

It would also be the day Muscular Baldy from Savorful Goose entered the city.
