I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive - Chapter 925
41. Who Feels Awkward
After the familiar figure of Professor Moriarty hurriedly appeared, the commotion on the scene quickly subsided under the handling of the patrol team brought by the professor.
Watching the drama also comes with risks. No one expected that the torrent of moonlight could even shatter the defense created by the court magician of the Great Ying Empire in an instant. So those unlucky ones who were affected by the moonlight, breaking their arms and legs, didn’t dare to say anything. They were carried away, screaming, to have their limbs reattached.
Although the scene was not in complete disarray, everything that the moonlight touched was “cut” in half. Coupled with the mansion of the Louis XXIII family in the distance, which looked normal but actually had a crack running through it, the guests felt not just “messy,” but terrified.
However, when the Queen smiled and said, “Everyone, don’t worry~ There will always be some damage in a fight, right? Let’s continue celebrating Louis XXIII’s birthday~”, who dared to leave? In the end, it turned into a bizarre scene where everyone tried hard to forget what had just happened and forced themselves to laugh.
As for the result of the confrontation just now, on the surface: because Ludwig left casually, it should be Louis XXIII who won. But anyone with eyes could see that this genius of the Great Ying Empire, whether he won or lost, or rather, whether he should have lived or died…
The only constant was the sycophants of Louis XXIII. Should I say, as expected of noble children? Even at this point, they could still come up with reasons to flatter their goddess.
“Miss XXIII, don’t mind what just happened. According to the rules, you definitely won.”
“That’s right, maybe that maid was just trying to scare people with that move, right?”
“Maybe it was some kind of illusion!”
Goodness, even “illusion” came up. Don’t you feel embarrassed saying that?
I glanced at Louis XXIII, and the awkward and stiff atmosphere around her, but…
who·c@re? What does it have to do with me? The joys and sorrows of humans are not connected, I just find them noisy~
The next moment, when Louis XXIII finally couldn’t stand the current situation, ignored her sycophants, and turned around to run away, I also withdrew my gaze. After all, Ludwig beside me was staring at me with a very displeased look.
“You lied to me, didn’t you say she only had a bit of power at the beginning?”
“Hey, in the eyes of the Sword Saint, does anyone below the ninth rank of sainthood even count as a person?”
“I was looking for a strong person, not a potion to enhance strength… Sigh, forget it, it’s too troublesome. But… have you solved it?”
“Just started.”
If you ask whether “Louis XXIII” has been dealt with, then it certainly has been solved. After all, the script has just appeared, and we have already caught the Queen’s attention, so there’s no need to entangle with a minor character anymore.
But this is also “just the beginning,” because next, I have to face the suspicion of Queen Louis IV, and this… is not a danger that can be solved solely by the Sword Saint’s power to instantly defeat everything.
“But there’s no need to rush. The Queen is not an idiot like Louis XXIII. The more anxious we are, the more we expose. You’ve already finished work today, so we can do whatever we want next.”
“Do you really think ‘anything goes’?”
Ludwig frowned and looked over.
“Haha… just bear with it a little.”
I smiled bitterly, of course, I knew what Ludwig was complaining about. After all…
After the confrontation, Ludwig and I became the absolute focus, and just now Louis XXIII couldn’t stand the atmosphere and ran away, making us even more the center of attention.
However, this “attention” is not enthusiastic cheers and applause for us, but rather the complex gazes of fear, curiosity, or nervousness from the guests present. So, the situation has basically become like this: Ludwig and I make anyone we look at feel awkward, and anyone we glare at feels scared.
I originally wanted to fill my stomach, but now… forget about eating.
Fortunately, the situation is not as difficult as I imagined. After all, apart from those who are more afraid of us, there are also guests from the invited nobility of the British Empire who are not afraid of us just because we are “very strong.”
Led by Leyev, the delegation from the Russian Empire quickly found me. Compared to being nervous and scared, these Russian tough guys were more excited.
“Halashu!”
These rough men said… some girly words that sounded a bit disgusting, patting my shoulder, “The little guy from the British Empire is impressive! That woman almost peed her pants in fear! Speaking of which, Leyev, did you deliberately point him out because you knew his maid was actually super strong? I haven’t seen you so accurate in the academy!”
“Ha… haha… more or less.”
Leyev responded awkwardly, of course, she didn’t know what was going on. After all… she directed Louis XXIII’s provocation to me under my instructions after I changed her script.
“In any case… thank you for taking on this trouble for us. Honestly, it was only after calming down that I realized: if I had really taken it on just now, I wouldn’t have been able to explain it to our Ivan the Great when I got back.”
Saying this, Leyev bowed her head to thank me.
It seems that even though the “era” has been restored, the personalities of these people from the Rosia Empire remain as simple and enthusiastic as ever.
Well then…
No need to thank me. As a return favor, Miss Leyev, who I remember has a good relationship with Letty, could you help me with a small task?

[Leyev expressed to Euclid…]
As the script appeared, I quietly made some changes.
[Leyev knew Euclid had something to say.]
Then, at the moment she looked up at me in surprise, I slightly shook my head, reminding her not to speak out of turn.
After all, the queen in the script had already begun to suspect me, and from now on, everything I did could not reveal any flaws. Including now: words spoken aloud could easily be overheard by others, and the script… was my best way to convey messages.
[Euclid told Leyev to remain silent and avoid leaking information.]
At first glance, I was just accepting the thanks from the Rosia Empire delegation, but some messages I wanted Leyev to pass on had already been quietly turned into “information Leyev already knew” through the script. I hope this young lady, who is much smarter than the rough men of Rosia beside her, understands my meaning.
[Euclid informed Leyev…]
After conveying the content through the script, Leyev, though surprised, quickly gathered her companions and left in a hurry. Ludwig and I did not linger either, returning to the scene to continue enduring the fearful gazes directed at us.
“What did you just do?”
“Exchanged glances with the beautiful girl from Rosia.”
“What a hassle…”
“Isn’t it?”
After all, our opponent this time… is none other than Queen Louise IV of the Great Ying Empire, who is still present at the scene, unwilling to leave, and observing my every move.
