I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive - Chapter 918



34. Cliché of Love and Hate

Although in “this era” Kefir, who had never appeared before, was replaced and became the double eighth-level genius of the Great Ying Empire, the various messy honors and titles that originally belonged to Kefir, such as “the pride of heaven” and “a once-in-a-century genius”… are now all attributed to Louis XXIII, but…

This guy’s arrogance and domineering nature, as I remember, hasn’t changed a bit: As Uncle Zerora said, it didn’t take long for the news to spread within the Great Ying Empire that “the genius Louis XXIII of the Great Ying Empire is about to celebrate his birthday,” accompanied by overwhelming publicity and arrangements throughout the city. Even before it started, just from the level of luxury, it seemed to surpass the scale of events arranged by the flamboyant queen who always liked to perform, as I remember.

Those who didn’t know might think it was some princess getting married, but in reality, it was just an insignificant birthday. Perhaps, it was because the “genius Louis XXIII” in this world was created by the queen herself, so she wanted to show off the “surface of a genius” as much as possible. Although I was displeased, this event was one of my few opportunities, and I had to participate!

Naturally, with my suspicious identity, I couldn’t just run into such a heavily guarded event to court death, but Uncle gave Ludwig and me an invitation.

His words were: “I believe you can see it too, Lide. My relationship with Louis XXIII’s faction isn’t very good. Coincidentally, my wife and I are planning to travel, so I’ll give you this invitation. You will represent us for the last time. This is as far as I can help you. Whether you can join Louis XXIII’s faction and achieve great success depends on your own efforts.”

Saying this, Uncle even pulled out a wad of private money from his shoe for me to “dress up,” but this familiar scene, which was still clear in my memory, couldn’t make me smile this time.

Because: I knew very well that Uncle gave me the invitation, letting Ludwig and me participate in Louis XXIII’s birthday celebration, while he and his wife went “traveling.” The truth was, Uncle… wanted to leave the Great Ying Empire!

However, this idea of leaving, this action of leaving, Uncle, do you really think it’s safe?

So… I also got an opportunity, an opportunity that if I didn’t seize, all the “changes” would be impossible to talk about, and the Great Ying Empire would fall into deeper chaos! I had no choice, nor could I avoid it!

Uncle… at this time, don’t be too eager to leave!

Afterward, relying on my observations of the attire and behavior of the noble children of the Great Ying Empire, without the help of fairies, I tried my best to disguise myself as an upper-class person.

Then, on the day of Louis XXIII’s birthday celebration, I took Ludwig, under the guise of being a vassal of the Zerora family, to the so-called “genius Louis XXIII’s” home on the other side of the royal city of the Great Ying Empire.

It was already sunset at this moment. Perhaps Louis XXIII thought that only at this time could he better showcase everything he had? As far as the eye could see, where Ludwig and I were, it was more appropriate to call this place “her palace” rather than Louis XXIII’s home.

When the original genius Kefir, who even lived in a small house, was replaced in this era, Louis XXIII suddenly became a golden phoenix, almost elevating her status to being second only to one person and above thousands.

Pavilions, palaces, and fortresses stretched endlessly in a golden splendor. Even though the number of invited guests had caused a temporary traffic jam on the streets, and now all of them had arrived at Louis XXIII’s palace, it didn’t feel crowded at all. Fortunately, thanks to the large number of guests, Ludwig and I, who looked very inconspicuous and also had invitations, didn’t attract much attention.

“Such luxury, a noble being so arrogant, won’t the king eliminate them?”

“Louise never does overt killings. Since Louis XXIII can host such a grand banquet, it means Louise must have authorized it and has some plans.”

While explaining Ludwig’s doubts, I took advantage of the maid’s lazy yawning and scanned the surroundings.

The celebration for Louis XXIII had not yet begun, as the “important person” in the script had not arrived to start the countdown. That being said, just among the guests around us, there were already too many scripts I couldn’t ignore!

[Extra A has a good impression of Louis XXIII.]

[Extra B thinks highly of themselves.]

As Uncle Zerora said, in this era, the genius Louis XXIII was indeed being wildly pursued by the noble children of the British Empire, as evidenced by the uniform script content just now.

However, I didn’t care about these. In contrast, there was a group of playboys who seemed out of place, discussing “whether they had a chance” even before the main characters arrived, not far from Ludwig and me.

In my line of sight, among a group of burly men, I actually recognized the leading girl!

[The delegation from the Russian Empire, led by third-year student Leyeve from Lubyanka Academy.]

Leyeve… Isn’t she the elder sister from the Russian Empire who “accepted the ideological influence of the British Empire and kept clamoring for reform”?

“Is Russia really led by her?”

I thought it would be someone straightforward like Sister Rasputin who would give a gift and leave, but now it turned out to be a student group from Lubyanka. Isn’t it strange for a “delegation”?

While pondering, Ludwig, who should have been standing and sleeping without caring, patted my shoulder.

“Hey, the troublesome person is here. Be careful yourself, don’t make me remind you all the time.”

Her words interrupted my wild thoughts, and the next moment… some scripts I had been eagerly anticipating but still made me nervous when they actually appeared, emerged!

Anticipation, because this script was something I had always wanted to see! Nervousness, because… if there were other choices, I… would definitely not want to face it!

And the content of this script was clearly…

[Queen Louise IV of the British Empire appears!]

As indicated, following everyone’s gaze, I slightly raised my eyes and saw: at the end of the steps stretching into the distance, on the second floor of the palace hall, a figure I should have been very familiar with, but now seemed very unfamiliar to me, appeared in the sight of all the guests with light and joyful steps.

She smiled innocently, accepting everyone’s salutes after their surprise.

But what I saw was: she “innocently” smiled, hiding the sharp gaze that scrutinized everyone’s details under the mask of the “idol queen.”
