I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive - Chapter 926



42. Incompetent and Self-Isolated

Nothing unexpected happened, and no waves were stirred. The “genius girl” of the Great Ying Empire, Louise XXIII’s birthday party, ended in a “subtle” atmosphere that was neither awkward nor perfect.

Those who attended the birthday party were all elite nobles living in the royal city of the Great Ying Empire. Although everything that happened that night was like a storm to them, the queen did not give any extra indication or signal afterward. Everyone tacitly pretended that nothing had happened, as if the events of that night had been forgotten. Even if a few of Louise XXIII’s fervent admirers wanted to cause trouble, they were immediately slapped on the head by their parents and quieted down.

After all… if they let their idle sons “play the hero to save the beauty,” the next thing to hit their heads wouldn’t be a slap, but the blade of the guillotine. As for “playing the hero to save the beauty,” even a fool could see it was just being a sycophant. The elders of the young masters’ families had them approach Louise XXIII because of her status, position, and title. But after that night…

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that changes were coming to the Great Ying Empire. Who would let their young master fawn over a woman whose reputation might soon be ruined? As for Louise XXIII? Who knows. It’s said that she became self-isolated after returning home and hasn’t gone out since, saving the trouble of making excuses.

…And this is the situation Louise XXIII is facing now.

Although, this “pride of the Great Ying Empire” who ran back to her residence and shut herself in after that night, still doesn’t fully understand. Known as the “genius of the Great Ying Empire,” Louise XXIII, who was invincible within the empire, had never encountered such a situation! During these days of self-isolation, no matter who knocked on the door, she would shout them away. Only when she was unbearably hungry would she let the servants leave meals outside, which she would then sneak in.

After all, Louise XXIII still couldn’t figure out: why did she “lose”? What was up with that maid!? In that instant, when the maid swung the branch, it was as if something terrifying emerged from her body, almost scaring Louise into… wetting herself.

More importantly: why couldn’t she use her power after that!? She clearly drank a whole bottle of “that” while changing clothes!

Yes, yes! It must have been a problem with the potion! The bottle she drank must have been faulty! If not for that, the maid’s flashy tricks wouldn’t have scared her…

Knock, knock

The sudden knocking interrupted Louise XXIII’s thoughts, making her even more irritable!

“Go away! Don’t bother me!”

So, Louise XXIII shouted at the door without hesitation.

I clearly told those servants not to knock on the door outside of meal times, so who is this blind fool disturbing me now!? Get lost! And don’t think you can work here anymore!

The knocking quickly stopped, but… Louis XXIII hadn’t even had time to add a sentence to chase away the person knocking outside, when the next moment…

A cold gleam of a blade flashed, and then the door to Louis XXIII’s room was kicked down from the outside.

A silent “midget” in white clothes and a white robe, upon entering the room, immediately sheathed her sword into the cane she held in her other hand.

And behind her was another person, someone… who made Louis XXIII swallow back the curse that was about to escape his throat.

Ignoring his refusal, Moriarty broke in directly, bringing Her Majesty the Queen!?

Louis XXIII hurriedly rolled off the bed, relieved that he hadn’t shouted anything more excessive at the door, and cautiously greeted.

“Your… Your Majesty the Queen…”

He sneaked a glance and saw the Queen’s worried expression, which finally made Louis XXIII breathe a sigh of relief.

“Sigh~ XXIII, I heard you haven’t left your room for days, so I came to check on you. But… you can’t be so reclusive~ I’ve been calling you for so long~”

The Queen’s brows were full of worry, “It was just a small accident at the time, I’ve already blocked the news for you, XXIII, you can’t be too down, or others will laugh at you~ After all, you didn’t really lose~”

These worried words instantly gave Louis XXIII confidence. As a genius of the British Empire, with the Queen as his backing, what was there to worry about!? Besides, the Queen was right!

“That’s… that’s right!”

Louis XXIII immediately got up, the worries that had been troubling him seemed to clear up, “Your Majesty, it wasn’t that I didn’t want to at the time, it’s… it’s that the potion suddenly stopped working!”

This was definitely not a lie, Louis XXIII clearly felt: just when he was about to teach that maid who scared him a lesson, his power suddenly disappeared! To be more precise… it was after that shabby man said some strange words!

No, no, he wasn’t scared! It was a special situation at the time! He had no choice but to end the “proof” matter perfunctorily!

As Louis XXIII hurriedly explained the situation at the time, he didn’t notice the change in the Queen’s attitude.

“Hmm~ hmm~ it stopped working? Moriarty, you were in charge of the potion, right?”

“That’s right, but who knows what she did when she went to change clothes, it was a new experimental product, I don’t know the unexpected effects. Maybe she drank too much?”

“What nonsense are you talking about!?”

Louis XXIII immediately shouted at Moriarty, “You gave the medicine, and now that something went wrong, you’re trying to shirk responsibility!? When have I ever not followed your instructions! Maybe… you messed up on purpose this time to embarrass me!?”

“Sigh…”

With a deep sigh, Moriarty adjusted her glasses, “Miss Louis XXIII, do you think I have any motive or necessity to make you look bad?”

“I… how would I know what you’re thinking!? Anyway, I did nothing wrong! Your Majesty, she’s definitely the one behind this!”

I’m a genius of the British Empire! How could I ruin my own reputation! Thinking about it, it must be Moriarty who tampered with “that”! I must have the Queen thoroughly investigate her background! She was originally a professor at the Lubyanka Academy in the Russian Empire, she might have been turned into a spy long ago!

“Your Majesty!”

“Alright, alright, XXIII, don’t be anxious~” The Queen waved her hand and then gave an answer that excited Louis XXIII, “Moriarty, you go out first, I want to talk to XXIII alone~”

See, see! In this situation, how could the Queen not help me restore my reputation! First, we need a scapegoat!

Looking at Moriarty’s face gradually turning bitter, as for why she looked at me with such regret, it must be because she was unwilling, Louis XXIII didn’t care.

Then, after Moriarty left, she met the Queen’s gaze.

“Your Majesty, you can definitely help me restore my reputation, right…”

“XXIII, it’s useless to dwell on this now~ I’m here to… ask you some interesting things~ about that master-servant pair~”

What puzzled Louis XXIII was…

Why did the Queen look so happy?
