I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive - Chapter 922



38. You must attack the minion with taunt first

Léyev didn’t randomly pick me, the “lucky audience,” from the crowd around her and Louis XXIII for no reason. Her pointing at me was a result of me using the script to change her annoyed thoughts, preventing a conflict between Louis XXIII and Léyev, who represented the Rosia Empire. Then, I changed the script again, deliberately making Léyev point at me.

[Léyev deliberately chose Euclid!]

After all, just preventing the conflict wasn’t enough; it was merely treating the symptoms. If I wanted to fundamentally “change” the current situation of the Great Ying Empire, as I had been waiting for from the beginning, I needed an opportunity to “show myself” and gradually get closer to Queen Louis IV.

And now, this opportunity has come.

“What did you say…!?”

The moment Léyev pointed at me, Louis XXIII’s gaze shot over! However, I might disappoint this “pride of the Great Ying Empire”—I didn’t timidly declare “I’m innocent” like the sycophants behind her, but calmly met her gaze.

“Léyev, do you know this person!?”

“No, but my intuition tells me: you’re probably not as impressive as them, so stop bragging about being a ‘genius,’ it’s pathetic.”

Hearing Léyev say she “didn’t know me,” Louis XXIII initially felt a bit smug, clearly waiting for me to “admit defeat” and then embarrass Léyev.

[Louis XXIII threatens Euclid to get lost!]

The script appeared, and Louis XXIII had already threatened me, glaring at me fiercely, trying to scare me away. Unfortunately, this was the moment I had been waiting for, so how could I pretend to be a passerby and leave in disgrace?

So, without waiting for my submission, a trace of panic flashed in Louis XXIII’s eyes. After all…

Fake, it’s all fake. Miss Louis XXIII, you are just an old hen with gray feathers, you can’t turn into a phoenix. You must be scared now, nervous about why I didn’t obediently submit. Because your so-called “genius” is completely fabricated, this ugly weakness will haunt you like a nightmare, and you will always be just a supporting role!

Didn’t you enjoy occupying everything of Kefir?

Now, I’m here to collect rent on behalf of my wife~

The next moment, accompanied by the whispers around, Louis XXIII knew she couldn’t show a guilty look and entangle with Leyev anymore, so she let Leyev go and stared at me.

The first “danger” was changed by me, now it’s my turn.

“What’s your name? Why did the people of the Rosia Empire point at you!?”

The voice sounded full of the majesty that only those in power have, but what kind of “people in power” have I not seen? Louis XXIII’s intimidation was nothing to me.

“My name is Li De, I am here to attend your birthday celebration on behalf of Lord Zerola.”

I calmly revealed my relationship with the uncle, and silently thanked the uncle in my heart: After all, the uncle’s status in the Great Ying Empire is not to be underestimated. Since I am here on behalf of the uncle, it fundamentally eliminates any suspicion of being a “spy.”

“As for why the young lady of the Rosia Empire pointed at me? Who knows, maybe I’m really quite strong?”

“Imp…”

Impertinent? Sorry, Miss Louis XXIII, you must have been confused by your own false honor, really thinking you are some double eighth-level genius of the Great Ying Empire.

In fact, you are just a pawn of Queen Louise, and now the queen’s chessboard is disrupted because of my appearance, and there is no room for you to act on your own.

“Well~ isn’t it quite good?”

The queen’s voice suddenly sounded, and Louis XXIII shivered all over and immediately shut her mouth.

The queen walked towards us while muttering to herself like an innocent girl, “I think Miss Leyev of the Rosia Empire is right~ Our Great Ying Empire is a land of outstanding people, it’s not surprising to have some talented young strong people. Since Miss Leyev thinks this one seems ‘very strong’, then XXIII~ you should also prove to Miss Leyev a little: that your title of genius is also ‘genuine’~”

【Louis IV temporarily gave up provoking the Rosia Empire.】

【Louis IV wants to investigate Euclid!】

The script appeared, and at this moment, the Queen’s thoughts had completely turned to me! Should I say, as expected of Louise? Just now, that phrase “genuine,” she said it calmly without even blinking, even though it was a lie.

“Uh… this, but Queen, it’s still my celebration…”

“Don’t worry about that~ Just go change your clothes a bit, I’ll help you set up the venue and conditions~”

After a pause, Louis XIV smiled at Louis XXIII, “Or, XXIII, do you have any questions?”

Of course, Louis XXIII wouldn’t have any questions. After all, anyone who has personally experienced the meaning behind the Queen’s current “idol smile” would be scared to death, let alone dare to have any questions.

So, let me add fuel to the fire. Since I’ve already caught the Queen’s attention, I might as well “try harder”!

“Ah, wait a minute, Your Majesty, Miss XXIII has no problem, but I do~ You see, I don’t have any extra clothes to change into, and it’s very impolite to be all sweaty. So… for the next opportunity for Miss XXIII to prove her strength, let my maid handle the sparring~”

I glanced at the increasingly astonished expression on Louis XXIII’s face, and finally… met the Queen’s gaze.

At this point, Louis XXIII finally “exploded”!

“Maid… maid!? Are you looking down on me!?”

From noble mtl dot com

“Oh my, how could I dare look down on the pride of the British Empire? It’s just that in this situation, there’s no other way, right? And to be fair, my maid usually helps me with housework, and she’s quite resilient~”

I waved my hand, and my explanation was also out of helplessness. After all, I couldn’t personally step in and directly change Louis XXIII’s script. If the power of the script was witnessed by others, it would easily cause a commotion.

So, at this time, a certain princess was very suitable. Coincidentally, this white-haired elf also liked to spar with strong opponents, right?

“No problem, right?”

“Ugh~~” Ludwig yawned, “It feels so troublesome.”

“Work seriously for me, do you think your salary comes from nowhere…”

As I said this, my gaze had not left the Queen’s face since the beginning.

Your Majesty, don’t you want to “investigate” me? Then I’ll give you the chance.

Because, coincidentally, I… also want to investigate your thoughts.

As for the answer, Louise, I know you will agree.

“Alright~ Twenty-three, hurry up and change your clothes to ‘prepare’~ How can we keep everyone waiting?”

The queen tilted her head and said, this time the feigned joy and innocence in her voice had disappeared.
