I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive - Chapter 1093



33. The Great Yng Empire does not have monogamy (Please vote~)

The queen subtly emphasized the “special” nature of her relationship with me, using it as a slight threat to her subordinates, making it easier for me to exercise the power she had given me before she left with a smile.

Now, the awkward one became me. Although the members of the Royal Knight Order present didn’t know me as well as Professor Moriarty’s patrol team, my identity in the Great Yng Empire was not exactly “hidden.” Anyone with a bit of status could recognize me: I am Kephiel, the proud daughter of the Great Yng Empire, the genuine husband without a doubt.

And just now, the queen’s ambiguous behavior towards me…

It seems that upon considering this, the members of the knightly order present were not so much focused on the queen’s small threat from earlier, but rather on me—they kept casting strange glances, scanning back and forth between me and Kefir.

“W-well… according to the marriage laws of the Great Empire of Yi, there is no mandatory requirement for monogamy… ow!”

What I said was definitely not meant with any ulterior motive, but simply as an explanation. Although… I was immediately pinched on the thigh by Kefir.

Oddly enough, after my loud cry of pain, the atmosphere in the room seemed to calm down significantly, and the strange gazes that had been cast upon me disappeared.

“In any case, the situation in Northern Ireland has absolutely not reached the point where ‘the appearance of knightly reinforcements can solve it,’” I continued. “From here on, I will prove through action that I am capable of commanding you all to resolve the unrest in Northern Ireland.”

“However, before we proceed, everyone can take a moment to rest. I still need to discuss the specific tasks with this survivor from the Battle Knights.”

After making a flurry of apologetic gestures toward my dear wife with my eyes, I called over the blue-haired fairy in the room.

“Lance, come with me. Kefir, you take the others and make camp around Northern Ireland City for now.”

After all, before we can start resolving the unrest in Northern Ireland, there’s still a “prerequisite” waiting for me to deal with—something I need to discuss with Louise, who had just left. I led Lance out of the room, and as I left, the members of the knightly order looked at me, then turned to ask Kefir something. I didn’t have time to eavesdrop, nor did I dare to.

Please, dear wife, spare me!

Once outside, I headed straight for the queen’s chambers with Lance. The door was unlocked, and probably sensing it was me, the queen didn’t even turn her head—she had long grown accustomed to my presence.

To be honest, while this kind of situation left me feeling a bit… secretly pleased, still…

“Your Majesty, do you realize that what you just said could socially ruin me in the Great Empire of Yi?”

Countless young and talented men within the empire see Queen Louise as their absolute dream lover, and now today… the queen almost gave me a public kiss to prove the ambiguous relationship between us. Wasn’t that practically pushing me into a pit of flames and pouring gasoline on it?

The girl’s delighted giggle came quickly after: “Hehe, so what? There are some things you dare to do, but now you’re too scared to admit it? Last night, in bed, you were anything but this proper…”

Her raunchy joke halted abruptly when she saw Lance, the fairy, standing beside me. Louise was briefly stunned, but then… her innocent and carefree smile returned. It was the same smile, but now it was Louise’s “idol mode” mask, as she likely viewed it… there was an “outsider” present.

“Ahem!”

I cleared my throat, a subtle reminder to the fairy Lance to “not ask, not think, not say anything,” then continued, “That moment wasn’t appropriate, so I brought her here to you, Louise. This is Lance, the fairy of the Battle Knights, the commander Arthur’s fairy.”

I pushed Lance forward, watching as the fairy immediately shrank back, and then I went on: “I’m sure you want to investigate: why is it that an entire knightly order has been reduced to just these few old, weak, sick, and disabled members? So, let Lance tell you everything that happened with Arthur’s Battle Knights during this time.”

Pausing, I patted Lance’s shoulder. “Alright, don’t be so nervous, I still have the means to keep you alive. Don’t hide anything. Just tell Louise everything.”

After the appearance of “chaos,” what exactly happened and was experienced by the knights of the battle led by Lansi in Northern Ireland City, I have basically understood after resolving the “chaos.” Although it would be fine for me to tell the queen , it is obviously more appropriate for Lansi herself to speak on this matter.

She is one of the parties involved, and she… is also capable of bearing this responsibility. Since she had the courage and determination to lead her comrades to their deaths, then… Lansi should also have the courage to face everything that comes after her survival.

I stood to the side, silently listening to Lansi recounting to the queen the near-total annihilation of the battle knights.

Then, I watched as Louise fell into a rare silence and contemplation, while at the same time, the script began to unfold in my mind.

[Queen Louise IV wants to punish Lansi!]

Because “headstrong” directly led to the destruction of the entire knight order, even if it was a collective decision made by the members at the time, Lansi, as the leader who replaced Arthur, should not have been so reckless.

I had said before that Lansi’s actions looked very cool, but… they were quite foolish. The queen’s first reaction was indeed to hold Lansi accountable; after all, the entire knight order was not Lansi’s private property.

So, out of personal feelings, I planned to dissuade her.

“Louise…”

“Don’t be nervous, O’Keefe, I don’t have such dangerous thoughts. On the contrary, you seem to care a lot about her~”

“Louise!”

“Alright, alright~”

The queen waved her hand, and the next moment, a smile reappeared on her face, but… it was a bit more serious than before.

“I’m not too surprised, you know~ To be honest, I can probably guess the reasons. After all… the knight order I know of Arthur does seem like the type to do such things, and Miss Lansi, you. .. truly live up to being that Arthur’s fairy.”

“However, understanding does not mean agreement. Lansi, your actions have indeed led to the demise of an entire elite force of the Great Yng Empire; your arrogance made you unwilling to seek help, but is this the result you wanted?”

“Kneel down first; I, in the name of the queen, will give you the punishment for this incident.”

My doubts vanished upon seeing the queen’s current “script,” and I did not intervene, just waiting for Lansi, after a moment of shock, to ultimately kneel down obediently on one knee before the queen.

The queen… was actually not that angry; after all, this woman was not the type to let “anger” cloud her judgment and act foolishly.

She is the queen of the Great Yng Empire.

“My punishment for you is…”

The queen’s gaze drifted towards me, a slight smile on her lips. “Next, you will follow O’Keefe’s lead.”

“Whether it’s to atone for your sins or simply my command, once you help O’Keefe resolve everything, I won’t interfere with your future decisions. Whether you want to leave the Great Ying Empire or stay with me, it’s entirely up to you~”

What I had previously been unable to achieve—helping Lansi “step out of the shadow of killing her master”—the queen now forcefully “awoke” Lansi using provocation.

“Do you want to remain immersed in the pain of losing your master? Sorry~ I won’t give you that kind of time~ First, atone for your sins properly and make O’Keefe happy~”

“This is still a lenient treatment I’m giving you because of him~★”

Watching Lansi’s reaction, the last thing I had worried about finally settled in my heart.
