I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive - Chapter 1065
5. Woof Woof Woof! (Monthly votes at the beginning of the month!)
I saw the queen collapse in front of me for the first time due to “official business,” something that, in her eyes, should have been a child’s play. Undoubtedly, “chaos” had already spread into the great empire of the queen.
However, the queen simply collapsed in front of me. Was she really tired, or was she just pretending? I couldn’t figure it out. After all, just as I was carrying her back to her chamber, she woke up right on time the moment I was about to place her on the bed, insisting that I couldn’t leave her alone.
As a result, it turned into the current situation…
At this moment, in the parliament of the great empire.
Sitting in my chair, I looked around at the attendees of the meeting and asked, “What happened to me?”
These people were all, without exception, the queen’s “trusted aides,” including Uncle Zerola, Professor Moriarty’s patrol team, and some other key figures from various departments. They weren’t opposed to me sitting in the queen’s position; it was just. ..
The next moment, Professor Moriarty provided the best and most direct answer.
“Woof! Woof! Woof!”
Not to that extent, Professor! I didn’t say anything that would make you bark like a dog, did I!?
Is it just… uh, is it just because the queen is also present? That can’t be it!
“What are you looking at?”
The queen, sitting on my lap, opened one eye and then quickly closed it again, adjusting to a more comfortable position with her head resting on my shoulder.
“Continue. The quieter you are, the less I can sleep.”
That being said, the queen was indeed tired. Before long, I could hear the even breaths of the girl right next to my ear.
Perhaps seeing that Kephiel had no reaction, Moriarty straightened her expression and began to tell me about the “strange matters” the great empire had recently encountered, making me doubt whether my ears were malfunctioning after hearing it.
“Noble riots are just minor issues. But… a lord has defected, wanting to establish independence?”
With my question, the girl sleeping in my arms pouted slightly, then wrapped her arms around my waist, holding me tighter to prevent me from moving around too much.
“That’s right. This strange matter has been troubling us lately. It’s unexpected for all of us. We wouldn’t send untrustworthy people to the borders, but ironically… the one who defected is someone trusted by the great empire.”
The other department personnel nearby also expressed their confusion: “Professor, could it be because of Rosia? The Rosian Empire has started to befriend us, and the absence of Rosia’s direct threat has exposed ‘her’ original ambitions.”
“Isn’t having ambition proof that he was untrustworthy from the start!? Lord Zerola, what do you think of ‘her’?”
The council was momentarily noisy, but I had my answer, gently covering Louise’s outer ear.
The disappearance of the Rosia Empire’s threat led to a sudden betrayal by a ‘border lord’ of the Great Yng Empire? No, while there is indeed a connection between the two, this is merely a result caused by an inducement. And this inducement, it seems, is called “chaos”!
【Chaos is spreading in the Great Yng Empire.】
In the next moment, the script provided me with an answer. It was indeed the work of that “chaos”! If we say that “chaos” began to slowly erode from a corner of the Great Yng Empire, then…
“Everyone, quiet down, don’t disturb the queen.”
With a whisper, I managed to get everyone present to quiet down, then I spoke, “Professor, could you observe further whether the recent frequent disturbances all originate from ‘that place’? No, let’s rephrase it, ‘that direction’?”
This time, the venue fell completely silent. Those present were all the queen’s confidants, certainly not fools; they could quickly discern some “coincidences.”
Since the spread of “chaos” began from a corner, then… all the strange occurrences should be nearby, in that direction. From Professor Moriarty’s response, I guessed correctly; all the recent “strange occurrences” originated in the Great Yng Empire from there.
Noticing that the queen in my arms had somewhat “woken up” and was eavesdropping, I didn’t expose her but continued, “Professor, can you tell us about the situation ‘there’?”
“The territory belonging to the Great Yng Empire—Northern Ireland region.”
Taking a deep breath, the professor stated, “That was an ‘outpost’ we captured long ago to counter the Rosia Empire, a place far from the emperor. I just didn’t expect such a mess to arise.”
“Kid, don’t think we haven’t seen lords betray before, but this time the person who betrayed us is truly unexpected. Because she is the lord of Northern Ireland, just like your father-in-law Zerola, a founding hero of the Great Yng Empire, the commander of the eighth-tier expeditionary knight order, Arthur.”
From noble mtl dot com
“The one who betrayed us is someone who absolutely should not have betrayed us.”
Since I also needed some time to digest this matter, the meeting ended in such a tense atmosphere. I carried the queen, who clearly didn’t want to rest, back to her chamber first.
As expected, this “fox” was unwilling to rest at all; just as she touched the bed, her eyes opened wide.
“Don’t take my job.”
Louise tugged at my sleeve, but unfortunately… she had no strength at all.
Just like her somewhat haggard appearance now, fragile, fatigued, and even… seemingly a bit helpless, the perfect disguise she usually wore had no strength to reappear on her face in front of me.
And even so, the queen’s thoughts in the script remained as bold as ever.
【The queen wants to personally go to Northern Ireland.】
“Fool, don’t underestimate this disturbance.”
I directly pushed back the queen’s thoughts and then said, “This is no longer your job; it’s mine.”
There’s no doubt that Lord Arthur’s betrayal in Northern Ireland stemmed from the “chaos.” But to understand exactly how, I needed to go there myself.
I stood up, preparing to leave, but the girl’s hand was still pulling me, neither too light nor too heavy.
“Don’t go.”
“I didn’t say I was leaving right now; I’m not stupid.”
Running straight to the unfamiliar Northern Ireland, where the power of the script is still limited, isn’t that just asking for trouble?
“It’s not…”
A complaint came from behind me, and I realized: the queen was referring to something else.
Turning around, I saw a face filled with “resentment,” leaving me utterly confused: I had only been to the southern seaside for a few days; why do you act like I’ve left you hanging for over a month?
“You said ‘next time for sure’ before.”
“Today… you’re not allowed to leave.”
Even while yawning, with tired eyes, Louise was determined to keep me there.
