If he still couldn't figure out what was going on by now, he would be a true fool. This was clearly a setup.
This also explained why he'd run into a fake Prince of the Wood Elves on the road.
To put it bluntly, that guard who had been impersonating the Prince of Wood Elves was just a shill the Dark Night Elf Clan had prepared for today's matchmaking ceremony.
And now, he had become that shill.
'So, what should I do?'
'Play along and follow the path set for the shill?'
'It seems like a good idea, but it's actually a dead end. Once this whole affair is settled, my mission will basically be complete.'
'And then?'
'I can die.'
'As for the supposed wedding tonight and consummating the marriage... I can only dream. If everything goes according to their plan, I'll be taken into custody and then secretly killed.'
'So, my only way to survive is...'
'I haven't figured it out yet.'
