Four Split Personalities

[Note 1: No way, no way, could anyone really think big bones and a chest so large you can’t see your feet are beautiful?]

[Note 2: Wake up, it’s fake.]

...

"Wake up your mother!"

After getting a brief overview of the task, the girl, who rarely behaved unlike her usual cute self, cursed, then angrily closed the task tab, efficiently and meticulously observing the surrounding environment.

She felt her current situation wasn’t ideal, though not outright terrible. The task objective given was quite clear, but considering her complete ignorance about the current era, her identity, or even where she was, it wouldn’t be surprising if things went wrong at any moment.

This feeling wasn’t pleasant but wasn’t terrible either.

After all, in the game, Double Leaf, who had nearly cured her ’human phobia,’ was quite adept at adapting, spewing nonsense, covering up lies, and making up things, and her knowledge reserves weren’t too bad either.

Unlike what was shown in front of Frank Hughes, although Double Leaf wasn’t as knowledgeable as ’Motan,’ she definitely wasn’t ’ignorant.’

In fact, her understanding of this world exceeded many native NPCs.

[Rose Georgia... should be someone related to the Georgia Territory, but I haven’t seen this name in the relevant data, so it probably isn’t that important.]

[Chief governor’s son of Glittering City... Glittering City... Chief governor... Wait, why isn’t it City Lord but Chief governor? Could it be that the current time is before the Sun Dynasty’s demise?]

[No, no, if it’s before the Sun Dynasty’s demise, how could someone with the surname Georgia like me assassinate Sang Qiao? A Georgia assassinating the son of Glittering City’s big shot? Soul Casting Kingdom Guard would never let such a thing happen.]

[Could it be that Sang Qiao was sold out by his own father? Because he’s interested only in men? Tsk tsk, this task is truly twisted, isn’t it?]

[No, reaching 200% completion directly promotes me to Epic. With rewards as substantial as this, a little twist seems acceptable.]

[So, is Sang Qiao really bent? To achieve an additional 200% completion, do I have to straighten him out with my charm?]

[No, wait! The task objective is to kill that person, so whether he gets straightened or not should be irrelevant, right? Does it mean I have to make his death more artistic? Uh... is choking on shit artistic enough?]

Double Leaf’s intelligent mind was running at full speed, countless thoughts flashed by in an instant, although slightly offtrack towards the end, her calmness and mindset were truly commendable.

However, her thoughts were interrupted there as a white-haired old man in a housekeeper’s uniform strode into the lounge, smiling at Double Leaf standing with hands behind her back and exuding a high and distant aura, or rather, Rose: "Sorry to keep you waiting, let’s go."

[What was I waiting for? Where are we going? Directly to kill that Gay named Sang Qiao?]

Double Leaf thought this, nodding nervously, tidying her attire awkwardly, and then replied calmly, "Alright."

"Don’t be nervous, Rose."

The old man, who had been a housekeeper in the Georgia family for over forty years and had practically seen Rose grow up, winked lightheartedly, "Really, you’ve been a bit off lately, relax, child, your marriage with Master Philo is appointed by the lord, don’t be too tense."

[Wow, I have a partner~]

Double Leaf inwardly whistled, then turned her face slightly red and murmured, "Even if you say so, it still feels a bit unreal."

"Stop overthinking, you two are truly in love."

The old housekeeper kindly patted Rose’s shoulder, said nothing more, turned to exit the room, then turned back with a bitter smile, gesturing to Rose, who was still staring blankly, to follow.

The two walked through the second floor of the modestly decorated city hall, taking a path that was simple enough but would have made the likes of Mo Tan get lost for three days and nights, finally arriving at a door on the far east side of the second floor (by now Double Leaf had roughly imagined out the building’s structure and layout).

"Go ahead."

The old man lightly knocked twice on the door, then suddenly frowned, removed the [Sunflame Guardian Badge] from Rose’s shoulder, and whispered, "Don’t wear this thing out in the future. If you want to keep it as a memory, find a place to hide it. For now, I’ll hold onto it for you."

[Careless? Oblivious? Can’t read the room?]

Double Leaf instinctively frowned, glancing at the badge, which she herself hadn’t paid attention to before, held in the old man’s hand, hesitantly nodding, "Alright."

The old man showed no surprise at Rose’s reaction, merely stepped aside and pushed open the heavy wooden door carved with the Georgia family’s crest.

Double Leaf took a deep breath and walked into the room.

[Is this the Lord’s office?]

Secretly surveying the surroundings, Double Leaf made a judgment, then focused her gaze on the tall figure facing the wide floor-to-ceiling window, back turned to her.

"You’ve come."

After a while, the square-faced man in fancy clothes, taller than Rose by a head, turned around and instinctively glanced at her shoulder, pausing briefly, then smiled warmly, "You finally removed that thing."

Double Leaf awkwardly attempted a smile, then ’instinctively’ glanced at the door behind her, brazenly selling out the mostly likely still waiting old man.

Sure enough, the middle-aged man, likely the big shot, frowned and asked, "Was it Old Swansea who helped you take it off?"

"Yes..."

Double Leaf nodded honestly.

"Ha, he meant well, probably worried you’d upset me by still wearing that thing."

The man shrugged, returned to his seat, and complained, "He doesn’t realize I wouldn’t be upset over such a thing... sigh..."

Speaking midway, he suddenly stopped, after a while, smirked, "Alright, I probably would be upset over it, but that’s not important, the important thing is..."

He refocused on Rose.

Double Leaf instantly ’instinctively’ stood upright, staring straight ahead.

"The matter we need to discuss, child."

The man intently gazed at Double Leaf and calmly said, "No need to be so serious, at least during this period, I hope you see me as your father... or adoptive father, rather than Georgia Territory’s administrator, one of the kingdom’s most faithful lackeys, Angus Georgia."

[This one’s planning rebellion!]

Double Leaf immediately judged, deducing that he was likely planning rebellion not against the Sun Dynasty but...

[After the Sun Dynasty’s recent demise, those unrelenting souls aiming for resurgence, this guy’s revolting against them.]

By connecting various clues, Double Leaf quickly deduced the timeline and circumstances, arriving at the correct conclusion.

"You might have guessed... alright, maybe right now only you haven’t guessed, child."

Angus Georgia sighed, gave Rose a doting parental gaze, "In the coming period, Georgia Territory may undergo changes, some... quite big changes."

Double Leaf blinked confusedly, using a curious and vacant look akin to a naive daughter to gaze at Angus: "What changes?"

"Restoring long-lost freedom to this land."

"Huh?"

"Breaking free from our shackles, escaping our heavy prison and chains."

"Hah?"

"Step out of the shadows, take a bold new step."

"What?"

"Simply put, independence."

"Oh... huh?!"
