I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive - Chapter 923



39. Choose Your Death Package

Even the queen of the Great British Empire had expressed the idea of “letting Louis XXIII prove herself,” so those sycophants of Louis XXIII naturally didn’t dare to express any “concern for the goddess” to hinder the start of this “proof.”

Soon, the queen commanded the servants to clear a space, and a few old men began to set up barriers around to prevent any accidental injuries from the upcoming magic.

As for tonight’s absolute protagonist—Louis XXIII, it didn’t take long for her to return in a new outfit, amidst the cheers and flattery of the sycophants.

“Hmph… Let’s begin. I’ll show you two what it means to overestimate yourselves.”

Unlike before, upon meeting again, the previously hesitant and indecisive Louis XXIII now seemed like a different person, suddenly full of “confidence,” with a goddess-like haughty attitude. Coupled with the sycophants’ filter, it made the group of young nobles even more infatuated.

I didn’t need to look at the script to know why Louis XXIII’s transformation before and after changing clothes was so drastic. It was obvious: she had just taken something, and now, with her strength skyrocketing due to cheating, she could naturally be so arrogant.

Glancing at Ludwig who passed by me, I swallowed the low-voiced reminder I was about to make. If I told Ludwig about the forcibly enhanced double eighth-tier “genius,” this elf would probably lose interest and quit on the spot.

As far as the eye could see, the two women had already faced each other. After the barrier closed, the place where they stood became a natural “training ground.”

“Hmph… Maid, do you really understand my identity?”

Louis XXIII seemed to want to show off a bit more, but unfortunately… Ludwig, the elf who only acted according to her own preferences, wouldn’t care at all.

“Seems a bit troublesome, so I still don’t understand. Ah, by the way, out of dueling etiquette, I guess I should introduce myself.”

She scratched her head, looking somewhat bored, “My name… hmm, feels unnecessary to say…”

Be serious, elf!

Standing behind her, I sighed and explained on her behalf, “She is my maid, named…”

After a moment of silence, I continued, “Named Edelweiss.”

The elf glanced at me, then smiled slightly and turned around, “That’s about it~ Introduction complete. So, young lady, how do you want to fight? A playful sparring? Or a death match?”

“Hahaha! You can’t even touch me, and you want to choose how to fight?”

Louise XXIII sneered, looking disdainfully at Ludwig, and pointed to a servant not far away holding a pile of weapons, “Pick one at random, so you won’t say I bullied you with bare hands when you lose miserably~”

“……”

Ludwig didn’t respond, then… turned to look at me, almost shouting “So troublesome” in my ear.

Please, Princess, my little ancestor, just this once, don’t find it troublesome!

Finally, at the moment when Louise XXIII was getting impatient, Ludwig sighed, squatted down…

Picked up a small twig from the ground, stood up, and said with a pout.

“I’ve chosen my weapon. Can we start now?”

Louise XXIII, who was already at her limit, exploded even more! Her face was full of anger, as if it was about to burst out of her eyes!

“What do you mean!?”

“Huh? Didn’t you tell me to pick at random? It’s random, and you’re still complaining, so troublesome…”

“You’re mocking me!!?”

As she shouted, Louise XXIII had already drawn her “great sword”! It seemed she was too lazy to even scare Ludwig and planned to teach her a lesson directly.

For a moment, the atmosphere around tightened. Louise XXIII’s sycophants naturally cheered for their goddess, who was finally going to “show her genius-like strength,” while the other guests present looked at me with schadenfreude.

“Hmph, at this time, still daring to play tricks. Young people nowadays, do they all like to use such deceit to attract attention? Sigh… I really feel ashamed for him.”

“Isn’t it? Just to show off, he even sacrificed his maid’s life. Tsk tsk tsk…”

“Didn’t he just say he was from Zerora’s side? Now it seems that the Zerora family has also fallen, even taking in such a charlatan…”

[The extras of the Great Ying Empire are mocking Euclid!]

The script appears, showing that there is nothing I need to pay attention to. For these passersby, as long as the trouble doesn’t fall on them, they can enjoy the show. Who wouldn’t be happy?

So, for me, it’s just right… I never intended to attract their attention. My goal has always been Queen Louise IV of the Great Ying Empire.

I need to attract the Queen’s attention, and to pique Louise’s interest, ordinary methods absolutely won’t work. This fairy lady has a rather peculiar personality. She wouldn’t care about ordinary “show-offs” and would deal with them decisively. After all, the Great Ying Empire is never short of such fools who want to eat swan meat.

So… on the contrary, the more straightforward the approach, the more it can truly annoy Louise. Not only won’t she be furious, but she will also become interested! Louise, who is always calm, only becomes extremely attentive to things that displease her.

And now, this matter is happening.

“Adrel, you understand.”

“…Ugh~ I’ll try my best. Don’t rush me, it’s so troublesome.”

It seems I no longer need to remind this white-haired elf, and… time doesn’t allow it.

Because at this moment, Louise XXIII, already feeling offended, looked down upon, and underestimated by Ludwig’s very “lazy” behavior, had just gained strength. How could she swallow her anger!?

“Hmph! Go ahead and show off! I’ll soon expose your true colors!”

Drawing out her great sword, she sneered, “Pity your maid, to let your incompetent master show off, you might even lose your own life! Now I’ll let you, this idiot who doesn’t know when to advance or retreat, suffer!”

Magic power gathered, and Louise XXIII seemed really intent on killing Ludwig to “make an example”! However…

The more she used the power she gained through cheating, the clearer Ludwig could see.

Before long, this sword saint seemed to notice Louise XXIII’s problem and frowned in disgust.

“Ugh, what, I was looking forward to it at first, but it turns out to be like this… Ah~ boring, so troublesome…”

Saying this, Ludwig started yawning again. Accompanied by Louise XXIII’s powerful magic, roaring towards him!

“Still dare to be in a daze!!? I’ll show you what true strength is right now!!”
