Let's play cards! In a different world of swords and magic

"Now, I'll just get into your pocket, You Ling."

"Are you a Pokémon from somewhere?"

It is said that she got into You Ling's pocket, but Krista was unusually good at choosing her position, and it was probably planned for a long time.

The pocket on the inside of You Ling's jacket is close to his chest, providing a great position to feel You Ling's warm body temperature.

With only her head sticking out, the Q version of Krista, clinging to You Ling's body, has a look of enjoyment and comfort on her face.

In this way, it can be considered as accompanying myself.

When the time comes to meet Queldes 'alone', knowing that he still has such a little thing in his arms, You Ling might be a little less nervous.

Black Aisha: "Where do you put me? I am accompanying you too! Damn scumbag!"

Well, no matter what time, You Ling is not fighting alone.

After putting Krista away, You Ling looked around for a moment.

The location should be the backyard of the emperor's bedroom.

To be honest, the light from Krista's shrinking transformation just now was quite obvious against the night sky. If there was someone in the courtyard, they would definitely be discovered.

Fortunately, there is no...

There is someone here!

The girl sitting quietly on the swing in the courtyard was blinking her big eyes and looking at him.

The girl's facial features were as delicate as jade carvings, and her deep blue sapphire eyes were still clear in the night. Her beauty was breathtaking.

But now You Ling had no time to appreciate the beauty of the girl in front of him.

You Ling was not sure, and did not dare to imagine, when this beautiful girl sitting quietly on the swing stayed here.

"Um, please, did you see it?"

“I see.”

The girl nodded slightly, her long silver-gray hair gleaming in the night, fluttering slowly with the amplitude of the shaking.

"How much did you see?"

"All."

Oh no, my secret of sneaking in is now completely exposed.

But when he thought calmly, the girl in front of him didn't seem to be particularly wary of him, otherwise she wouldn't have watched the whole thing foolishly and not informed the guards.

So, You Ling continued to try to communicate.

"Um, can you keep what happened just now, including what happened afterwards, a secret for me?"

"no."

Well, communication failed.

Before You Ling could speak a second time, the girl jumped down from the courtyard swing and patted her butt.

It was only then that You Ling noticed that the style of clothes the girl was wearing was not the uniform worn by palace maids, but an elegant and gorgeous aristocratic dress.

It is easy to imagine that someone swinging on a swing in the courtyard of the emperor's bedroom late at night is definitely not an ordinary maid.

With a sweet smile, the girl spoke first before You Ling.

"I think you must be You Ling."

"you know me?"

The memory search failed. A girl with such stunning beauty was not just an ordinary girl. If You Ling had seen her before, he would definitely not forget her.

"This is the first time I've seen you, too. But looking at your features, I know you must be You Ling."

"You haven't seen me before, can you recognize me just by looking at my body features?" You Ling said in disbelief.

The smile on the girl's face remained sweet and calm.

"Because Lord Queldes has told me about the boy named You Ling more than once. So when I saw you, I knew at first sight that you were You Ling."

"Quildes... sir?"

Instead of calling Queldes "His Majesty the Emperor", the girl's novel way of addressing him made You Ling guess a possibility.

A girl would swing on the swing in the backyard of the emperor's bedroom late at night.

"I am Lord Queldes's fiancée. You Ling, you can just call me Heidi."

"As expected."

Just as You Ling guessed, the only possible reason for the girl to appear here was because she was Queldes's wife, and this identity was the most appropriate.

My original intention was to see her again before Quilders got married and to clear up the gap of two years since my sudden disappearance.

In the end, Queldes didn't see him, but met his fiancée first.

This is like rushing into the room when you are planning to steal the bride, but end up running into the bride's partner first.

It was so embarrassing that You Ling wanted to just go into the woods nearby.

By the way, the girl in front of me is the bride in a sense.

"Um, Heidi, do you know where Queldes is?"

"Lord Queldes is resting in his bedroom. Heidi came out to relax because she said she wanted to be alone for a while."

He honestly told Queldes's location. Not only was the fiancée in front of him completely defenseless against You Ling, she even had a naive air of being ignorant of the world.

"Then I'll go in and look for Quildes first. Heidi, you stand here first and don't move around."

The shameless You Ling made extremely excessive demands on his naive fiancée who was ignorant of the ways of the world.

"Haha, no~" Heidi refused with a smile.

"why?"

"Because I, Heidi, love Lord Quilders the most. So I will never let you, You Ling, meet Lord Quilders again."

"What's the reason?"

"Heidi has loved Lord Queldes the most since she was a child. She admired Lord Queldes, who was powerful, reliable, and seemed to be invincible. He was the eternal white moonlight in Heidi's heart."

You Ling had heard from Sylvia that Queldes' fiancée was her childhood sweetheart, whom she had known since childhood and admired.

"Well, I understand, Heidi, you like Quildes very much."

"So when Lord Quildes proposed to Heidi, that was probably the happiest moment of my life. I thought we had no chance since we were both girls, but Cupid shot the arrow of love at Heidi again."

Black Aisha: "Queldes' fiancée always seems to be a love-brained person."

No need to feel it, just be it. Most people will not ignore it and start telling the person they meet for the first time about their experience and feelings of love.

"But after Heidi had a deep conversation with Lord Quildes, I realized that Lord Quildes actually felt very guilty about you, You Ling. And when chatting with Heidi, the person he mentioned the most was you, You Ling."

"Then I am truly, truly honored."

At this point, You Ling had already realized that something was wrong.

Suppose someone you like very much, after being engaged to you, keeps mentioning another person to you, how would you feel?

"So, You Ling, why do you appear again at this time?"

I don’t know if it was You Ling’s illusion, but Heidi’s eyes were still shining brightly in the night at first, but now the light is getting dimmer.

"You made Lady Queldes blame herself for two years, but you came back at the critical moment when she decided to let go of everything and live a happy life with Heidi... You shouldn't have come back, Yu Ling."

"I'm sorry, I encountered an unexpected situation, so it's not up to me to decide when I want to come back."

"Then don't come back. Heidi will dedicate everything to Master Quildes and will spend her entire life comforting Master Quildes' pain. And You Ling, your appearance will only disrupt all of this. So, please, can you leave?"

"I..." You Ling narrowed his eyes, then opened them again and looked at Heidi: "I refuse!"

Before tonight, if Sylvia hadn't asked him to do so, You Ling would not have wanted to meet with Queldes alone and disrupt this marriage.

But after listening to Heidi's story, You Ling could understand why Sylvia insisted on letting him come alone.

Perhaps, only by doing this can he truly untie the knot in Quilders' heart that has been locked up by self-blame for the past two years.

Even in front of his fiancée, he kept mentioning himself. It seems that the great emperor is not a considerate husband to his wife.

"Heidi, I have to go see Quildes tonight."

"I see. Even his stubborn character, unwilling to give up, is exactly as described by Master Queldes. If that's the case..."

Gently lifting the sleeves of her evening gown, Heidi revealed her smooth white arms and the elf eyes on her wrists.

The eldest daughter of the Marquis of the Imperial Border, it seems, is also a duelist.

"Let's decide it in a duel, You Ling. If I can beat you, you will leave obediently and never appear in front of Lord Queldes again."

"Let's decide by playing cards. That's perfect!" You Ling also activated the Elf Eye on his arm.

Compared to talking nonsense to convince the opponent, You Ling is best at fighting to convince the opponent. So Heidi's suggestion was exactly what You Ling wanted.

"If I win, Heidi, you can no longer stop me from seeing Queldes."

"A word is settled!"

“Duel——!”

The duel in the courtyard begins, and Heidi's elf eyes on her wrist shine brightly, giving her the first attack.

"My turn, draw a card!"

After drawing the card to start the round, Heidi scanned the cards in her hand with her deep blue eyes and decided on a strategy.

You Ling was also quite curious about what kind of deck tactics this stunningly beautiful girl, who was Queldes' childhood sweetheart and fiancée, would use.

"I will Normal Summon - One Petal of Rokka!"

[A Petal of Six Flowers★Water] [Plant Family/Effect ATK: 0 DEF: 0]

The petals of the daffodil fell, stopped on the Heidi field, and bloomed into a cute mini daffodil.

"Then I will activate the effect of [One Petal of Six Flowers]!"

[Once per turn. Can only be activated during your Main Phase. Select 1 "Rokka" monster from your deck except "Rokka's Petal" and add it to your hand or send it to the Graveyard. After activating this effect, you cannot Special Summon monsters other than Plant-Type Monsters until the end of the turn.]

"I select the monster card [Snowdrop] from my deck and add it to my hand. After that, um, then... activate the effect of [Snowdrop] in my hand."

There seemed to be a noticeable pause in the linkage between the search and the subsequent effects. It was not difficult to see that Heidi's duel was not very skillful.

After all, in this world, not all duelists who have awakened the Eyes of the Elf love dueling.

There are also people like Heidi, who, although she is a duelist, is satisfied just by watching her beloved fight bravely.

[You can activate this effect by releasing 1 Plant-Type monster on your field. Special Summon this card and 1 Plant-Type monster from your hand. After this effect is activated, you cannot Special Summon unless you are a Plant-Type monster until the end of the turn.]

"Release [A Petal of Six Flowers] on the field and activate its effect! Special Summon [Snowdrop of Six Flowers] and another Plant-Type monster [Iron Chopsticks of Six Flowers] from your hand!"

But even though she was not used to dueling, Heidi stood resolutely in front of You Ling at this moment.

Presumably, since Quildes had told her so much about You Ling, Heidi knew very well that You Ling's strength as a duelist was by no means ordinary.

[Snowdrop ★★★★★★★★ (8 stars) Water]

[Plant / Effect ATK: 1200 DEF: 2600]

[Rokuka Essence Iron Chopsticks ★★★★★★★★ (8 stars) Water]

[Plant / Effect ATK: 2600 DEF: 1200]

The two beautiful girl monsters in gorgeous clothes each represent a flower blooming in the snow. This beauty is also very suitable for Heidi, the controller.

"Now I have two 2-star monsters on the field. Then I will stack the Snowdrop and Iron Chopsticks on the field to Xyz!"

Although Heidi is not skilled in dueling, she can still stack up to level 8 of Ultra Light in the first round.

Amid the blowing wind and snow, two beautiful flowers bloomed in overlapping excess light, and stepped gracefully into the battlefield with an even more beautiful girlish posture.

"X-Summon, Tier 8 - Six Flower Holy Tear Bouquet Snowdrop!"

[Six Flower Holy Teardrop Bouquet Snowdrop Water]

[Plant/Extreme/Effect ATK: 2800 DEF: 2800]

[8-star monster x 2]

I don't know if it's because Heidi and Quilders are childhood friends. The monster Heidi uses is the same as Quilders, and it's a water monster.
