I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive - Chapter 1092
32. Give me a meat compensation too!
After a night of turmoil, having traveled thousands of miles just to deliver the spicy hot pot, the queen finally found satisfaction. She calmed down from that insatiable hunger that seemed ready to “devour” me, and gracefully switched to her unique “idol mode ,” entering the “sage time”—the queen was serious now.
After lingering on me for a moment and giving me a peck, the queen got up, dressed, and freshened up. Once she resolved everything, she summoned the various important figures she had brought along, as well as those remaining in Northern Ireland, and temporarily borrowed an empty room in the lord’s manor as a meeting room, where everyone gathered.
At this moment, inside the room.
With no Professor Moriarty around, who had a good relationship with the queen and could casually start a conversation, whether it was the knights brought by the queen or the fairy Lansi from the warring knights; even I, thinking about some things from last night, felt awkward and didn’t know how to speak.
However, the queen didn’t care about any of this. It seemed that the “desires” she had accumulated for a long time were finally released all at once yesterday, and today she looked so radiant, as if her skin had become much smoother since she arrived yesterday.
This transformation of hers naturally did not escape Kephir’s “intuition” as a woman, but… the current queen was no longer afraid.
“Kephir, why are you staring at me? Is there some strange liquid left on my face?”
The queen looked at Kephir with a smile, her attitude towards her cousin very warm, but…
The strange content mixed in her words subtly threatened me while also hinting at a desire to compete with Kephir. Kephir had originally intended to ask the queen what she did last night, but her slight suspicion was caught off guard by the queen’s strong attitude.
Kephir, for the first time, was “timid” on such a question!
“N-no… nothing.”
Given that there were “outsiders” around, Kephir didn’t dare to ask further. Instead, it was Philo, standing beside Kephir, who seemed unable to hold back.
Recently, the situation in Northern Ireland was special, and worried that Philo might run into danger, Kephir and I had kept her close. With my identity as a “fairy” maid following me, even in such a serious occasion, the others wouldn’ t say much.
Who would have thought that the queen’s words made Kephir timid, while Philo, being a newcomer, boldly asked a shocking question!
“You recognized your master last night, right?”
“!” The queen was momentarily taken aback, then smiled and winked at Philo, “That’s right~ Last night, your master and I recognized each other, inside and out~ Are you envious? If you are, come find me later, and I’ll teach you~”
I immediately shouted for her to stop!
First, I was worried that the term “recognize master” would expose the queen’s fairy identity, and second, more importantly… if this topic got out, Kephir would make me kneel on a washboard for a day!
“Let’s talk business, let’s talk business, queen, there are many people here.”
“Mm~ Since you say so, then let’s get started~”
Compared to my panic, the queen actually seemed to enjoy the surprised gazes of those around her. It appeared that… she no longer wanted to hide this matter of mine.
Fearing that various questions would soon fall upon me, I hurriedly took the initiative to explain the current situation in Northern Ireland and the city of Northern Ireland.
Once the root of the “chaos” was temporarily resolved, the situation in Northern Ireland could actually be summarized in one sentence: no one was watching. Not to mention that the original commander of the Knights of the Round Table, Arthur, was no longer around; due to the stubborn actions of the Sword Fairy, Lancelot, there were hardly any capable fighters left in her knightly order.
The scarcity of defenders naturally invited more trouble. Although the queen had arrived with reinforcements quickly enough, several conflicts had already arisen in the city of Northern Ireland over the past few days due to this issue.
Fortunately, this was no longer a result of the “chaos” but merely a simple disturbance. With the queen arriving with the official knightly order, all we needed to do next was to take control and suppress those unruly minions.
After briefly explaining everything, I looked at Lancelot, the only one who could represent the original Knights of the Round Table in Northern Ireland.
“Lancelot, do you have anything to add?”
“…”
She seemed a bit “guilty” and didn’t dare to speak. After all, although she and her members had volunteered, it was an undeniable fact that she had recklessly put the lives of the direct members of the Great Empire at risk.
Fortunately, the queen was in a very good mood today and didn’t notice this point. After listening to my explanation, she waved her hand and made a decision that she would have never made so easily before.
“The Royal Knights will now hand over command to him~ He will direct everyone’s actions to bring peace back to Northern Ireland~”
With a clap of her hands, the queen handed over the “power” to me. “Everyone, should have no objections, right? Because I came here quietly and shouldn’t be too conspicuous~”
Don’t act like you’re worried about the country, Louise! Why did you sneak over here? I had a good experience of that last night!
However, this time I wouldn’t be polite—after all, the “chaos” in Northern Ireland was because of my appearance, so it was only reasonable for me to handle the “cleanup.” Moreover, I indeed needed some manpower to search for other clues about the “chaos.”
More importantly, it was too dangerous to let the queen face the “chaos” directly. The perfect idol of the Great Empire should stay behind to strategize, sing a song, and give us some buffs.
“Alas~ But this means we’ve become people working for Lide~”
Before I could respond, the queen sighed, “Of course, I will pay the knights’ salaries, but… shouldn’t I also get a salary?”
Saying this, she pursed her lips and looked at me with a meaningful smile.
“I personally don’t lack money, so~ can this salary be ‘settled’ in the way Miss Nilu does?”
No way! How could I handle that! Huh?
Wait! No! Before this…
“How did you know about Nilu’s ‘settlement’ method, Your Majesty!?”
“Hehe~ Who knows~”
I stood up to question her, but the queen had already left her seat with a cheerful smile. “It’s a bit cold here; I need to go back and put on another piece of clothing. Everyone, make sure to listen to his orders well ~ Or rather, from now on, his orders are my orders. I hope you all… have a bit of insight and can ‘see something,’ and don’t do anything that would definitely make me a little angry~☆”
After saying that, the queen directly left the room. Even with just this knight order, she had handed all her power over to me.
【Louis IV hopes that O’Keefe leads the knight order.】
The script appeared, and I… swallowed back the words I had just wanted to chase after the queen to ask.
From noble mtl dot com
Because even I didn’t expect the queen, who usually liked to hold power herself, would do this this time.
Then…
As for the salary, if it’s meat compensation, then so be it, as long as Kephiel has no objections…
