I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive - Chapter 915



31. Can a Minor Character Also Have a Day of Glory?

The “minor characters” that have appeared in the script, in my opinion, either serve as “tools” to help the protagonist; or as unnoticed passersby; or as stepping stones for the protagonist. After all, even strengthening to +15 requires a sacrificial knife.

Since I met Kefir until now, although there have been many minor characters in the script, I haven’t completely forgotten them after just one glance. And this noble lady of the Great Ying Empire, Louise the Twenty-Third, mentioned by the uncle at this moment, I naturally still have an impression of her.

Speaking of Louise the Twenty-Third, her full name is actually Louise the Two Hundred and Thirteenth. Her ranking in the Louise succession is not the 23rd, but rather the 213th, at the level of a distant relative. It can be said that besides the title, she has no real connection. Her blood relation with Queen Louise the Fourth is so distant that their blood wouldn’t even mix.

This Louise the Twenty-Third was a minor rival of Kefir in the early stages. However, even with some cheating methods to forcibly enhance her strength, she still ultimately lost to Kefir. If it weren’t for the uncle’s special mention, I would have even forgotten that there was such a person in the royal city of the Great Ying Empire! But…

Why is her name coming up now!?

The confusion didn’t last long. Soon, the appearance of the script content made me understand the whole strange situation.

[Louise the Twenty-Third possesses dual eighth-level strength and is the most prominent young talent in the Great Ying Empire, known as a once-in-a-century genius.]

From the content, I understood: After all, in the “current” Great Ying Empire, there was no Kefir from the beginning. So, the minor character Louise the Twenty-Third, who had been provoking Kefir on the issue of “genius,” naturally became the pride and superstar of the Great Ying Empire.

This is really… unexpected, yet reasonable.

I smiled wryly, my mood not fluctuating much. After all… I couldn’t care less about Louise the Twenty-Third’s achievements now. Even if she became a genius, so what? I wouldn’t let such a small issue hinder my “change.”

I looked up at Uncle Zerora, who seemed a bit puzzled by my reaction.

“Lord Zerora, there’s no need to bring up Louise the Twenty-Third at this moment. I chose to seek refuge with you after understanding the situation in the Great Ying Empire.”

This sentence was just to dispel the uncle’s doubts about me, but unexpectedly: this sentence seemed more effective to the uncle than the previous flattery. Could it be that even the uncle has a bit of jealousy? Haha~ As I figured this out, the uncle also responded to me.

“I see, but… I really no longer accept vassals. After all… I’m thinking of taking my wife on a trip next.”

A trip? This word doesn’t sound like something Uncle Zerora, who holds an important position in the Great Ying Empire, would say! Fortunately, the next moment, the appearance of the script explained the true thoughts hidden in the uncle’s words!

[Zerora plans to take his wife and leave the Great Ying Empire.]

From the content: What the uncle wants is not to take his wife to experience a second spring of romance, but clearly… he has no intention of continuing to meddle in the affairs of the Great Ying Empire and plans to slip away!

Why? Could it be that the “uncle” in “this era” already feels that the Great Ying Empire is “not right”!? Before I could figure it out, the uncle in front of me continued.

“So, this is not a dismissal, but a suggestion for a young person like you who seems to really have the ability: Although you came from Glamorgan Castle, you must also be aware of the genius Louis XXIII, whose reputation has long spread throughout the Great Ying Empire and beyond, right? Louis XXIII is now at the double eighth level, which is a level many people can only dream of reaching.”

“Not only that, Louis XXIII is also young, and is now the object of great admiration among the young talents of the Great Ying Empire, with a reputation so great that even other kingdoms have heard of it. For a young person like you, it is obviously better to follow a beautiful girl than to follow an uncle, right? Men, after all, are not cold-hearted.”

The uncle gave me a smile that didn’t seem very cheerful, “To put it another way, even if you don’t care about the person herself, the family of Louis XXIII will definitely become the first noble family of the Great Ying Empire’s royal family in the future. For the sake of your own future, you should choose her.”

I… did not answer immediately.

This is definitely not because I was hesitating, but quite the opposite: I didn’t believe it from the beginning, didn’t believe the uncle’s words, didn’t believe that Louis XXIII had really become such a genius in “this era.”

In my memory, Louis XXIII had temporarily enhanced her strength with some kind of potion borrowed from the Queen at that time, so even if Kefir no longer existed “now,” Louis XXIII would definitely still be doing this!

Genius? Ha… It’s not that I look down on people, but this guy really doesn’t deserve it! What’s more, I am very clear about Louise’s methods, the so-called genius should have been created by Louise. It is not that Louis XXIII became a genius, but… the Queen of the Great Ying Empire, Louis IV, needed a genius. Since there was no longer a “cousin Kefir” who could be somewhat trusted, the Queen of “this era” took Louis XXIII, who had to rely on the potion she provided, to become a genius.

“Great power must be completely controlled by oneself,” Louise, you must have done this, right? This is the understanding of a master towards her fairy.

After a moment, I looked up at the uncle.

I said, “Then… Mr. Zerora, can you do me another favor?”

After the conversation with the uncle ended, Ludwig and I were walking back.

This fairy, who had been yawning and dozing off while standing, rarely opened his eyes wide, and finally, at a time when no one was around, he asked in a low voice about my response just now.

“What do you want to do? Don’t do anything troublesome.”

Hey, if you don’t want to do anything troublesome, but want to “change the Great Ying Empire,” how can there be such a simple good thing in the world? You fairy, use your brain a little.

“Not troublesome, rather it has become simpler.”

I smiled and looked at Ludwig, “But in exchange, it will be a bit dangerous~ Your Highness, are you interested?”

The level of chaos in the Great Ying Empire is probably much deeper than I imagined. I have just started investigating and already so many strange changes have appeared.

So, as Ludwig complained, instead of bothering with a little bit of investigation, it is better to use some quick and simple methods, hurry up and contact Queen Louis IV, and then try to “change” the Great Ying Empire.

Three choices, I can only discard the “safety” option this time.

As for Ludwig…

“Hey~ Of course, that woman… isn’t she an eighth-tier?”

The smile on the face of this elven sword saint was exactly the kind of smile only a “villain” would have, which was the best answer.
