I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive - Chapter 1075
15. Arthur wouldn’t go that far!
After hearing my words, Arthur looked at me in surprise, probably not expecting why I was “not angry,” and then directly expressed his willingness to “provide help” by quoting a classic saying known to all people of the Rosian Empire.
“Are the people of the Rosian Empire still willing to do this for us?”
Come on, clearly the Northern Ireland region is very close to the Rosian Empire, and as the lord here, you don’t know the character of the Rosians? If it weren’t for the fact that you were genuinely surprised in the script, I would even suspect you were testing me.
“The people of the Rosian Empire are all like this. The Northern Ireland region is adjacent to Rosia, and to put it bluntly, if something wrong goes here and it can’t be resolved, it might spread to Rosia. So, I have no reason not to help you.”
This time I wasn’t lying: if we compare the current continent to a piece of paper in the script, then the “chaos” is like a spark gradually igniting from one corner. Once the spark is not extinguished and begins to spread, it certainly won’t burn in just one direction, but will affect everything in its path.
If we don’t stop the “chaos” now, once it spreads, I might find it difficult to intervene. And the script just told me: this seemingly carefree lady in front of me, who actually harbors concerns, knows some insider information about the “chaos.” It’s unwise to question her recklessly, but… helping her will definitely not be a loss for me.
To take a step back, even if I end up just being a worker in the end, I still have the capital and reason to inquire about the insider information regarding the “chaos” from Arthur.
“However, my lord, you need to tell me in advance what exactly is troubling you. Although the Rosians are willing to help, at least we need to know what we are helping with.”
【Arthur suspects Euclid!】
The script appeared immediately, but this time I was confident: even if Arthur had doubts, in the end, she would still turn to me, the “Ashes of the Messenger of Rosia.”
Because… she was truly troubled!
【Arthur needs Euclid’s help.】
After two conflicting scripts that seemed contradictory to me, indeed… the anxiety brought to Arthur by some kind of crisis she was definitely facing had finally taken precedence, forcing her to accept after glacing at me a few times.
“If you want to bring people from Rosia, how many can you bring?”
The maximum? That should be dragging Letty along with most of Rosia’s troops, but of course, I couldn’t say that.
“A squad of wolf cavalry should be fine.”
I estimated a number that wouldn’t make Arthur suspicious, and then watched her expression, which finally seemed to ease as she scrutinized me.
As my gaze fell, the blue-haired older sister sitting across from me, who had been lounging, no longer acted nonchalant; she withdrew her casual posture, and her expression became much more serious.
“Actually, we haven’t encountered any ‘particularly decent’ troubles, just some tangled little matters that have made the whole of Northern Ireland quite uneasy lately.”
【Arthur is preparing to inform Euclid of the dilemma.】
The script appeared, describing Arthur’s upcoming troubles as a “dilemma.” I certainly couldn’t be negligent and prepared to listen carefully to this request that might carry “chaotic” information.
However, the next moment, what Arthur told me was something… that left me utterly astonished.
“Recently, out in the forests and snowfields to the north of the city, there have been a constant stream of beasts like jackals appearing. I should have mentioned it just now. In short, these beasts and monsters frequently attack residents, which is giving I have a huge headache.”
“So I was thinking, should we tidy things up and directly wipe out these monsters’ lairs or something—this is the dilemma, oh~”
As Arthur said this, scratching her head, there was not a hint of joking in her demeanor.
I didn’t want to appear gloating, but I really couldn’t help it: is this it? Just this!? Monsters in our era, in this script, have never held any status; they belong to the type that even slightly capable individuals can easily handle. And now Arthur’s request is this!?
“Um… aren’t you an eighth-tier lord? The members of the knight order are all fierce as tigers, so how could you be troubled by these monster issues?”
“Haha~ it’s just for safety’s sake~ bringing Rosia’s people along will help us handle it more easily~”
Arthur said this as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Goodness, I didn’t expect this big shot to be different from Uncle Zerola; he turned out to be a cautious hero.
That said, I had no reason to refuse: after all, I had just noticed that the “monstrous beasts” Arthur mentioned were “endless.” Thinking about it this way, I could understand her plan; after all, when mosquitoes keep buzzing around your ears and you can’t swat them, anyone would want to spray the whole room with insecticide.
Moreover, “endless” implies something significant; perhaps this is connected to what Arthur is hiding from me regarding the “chaos.”
It seems that “chaos” is causing the monsters to appear endlessly? It feels like this kind of “chaos” is a bit low.
In any case, I’ll agree for now.
“I represent the Rosia Empire and agree to assist you, my lord. But… how exactly are we going to help? Shelling the fields?”
“Not to that extent, not to that extent. Monsters will run away when you start shelling; it’s more direct and effective to eliminate them manually.”
Arthur waved her hand, “You just need to bring some of your Rosia troops to help us clear them out, as you said. I’ll notify you about the time, place, and method. You don’t need to follow my orders ; after all… killing monsters doesn’t require command—just do it, haha!”
【Arthur wants to eliminate the monsters in Northern Ireland.】
With the script appearing and in line with this sister’s reaction, I had no reason to doubt the authenticity of her intentions. Moreover, the monsters are probably indeed related to the “chaos.” In any case, I must follow along to investigate.
“No problem, I will call for the Rosia troops today.”
But why don’t you call the troops from the Great Ying Empire?
This thought almost slipped out, but I swallowed it back. After all… Arthur’s team seems to have some grievances against the queen of the Great Ying Empire, and at this point, as a “Rosian” in disguise, I naturally couldn’ t bring it up intentionally. Anyway, getting people from Letty isn’t too difficult; resolving this “trouble” of Arthur’s in the script will also help me get closer to uncovering the essence of the “chaos.”
After all… this is a kind of unease that I’ve gradually taken on: I always feel that the atmosphere in the lord’s mansion is filled with something I don’t quite like, even including Arthur, who seems completely unaffected by the “chaos.”
I hope that the members of this knight order are just acting so irritable because they are “very annoyed.” After dealing with the monsters, they will calm down.
