I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive - Chapter 940
56. Are you out of your mind?
Actually, I didn’t even need the script to remind me. I could already sense some of her current thoughts from the overly enthusiastic attitude of Lady Reyeve, a noble lady of the Rosia Empire, upon seeing me.
To be honest, my answer now is only one: Thank you very much, you are a good girl, but we are not suitable. It’s just that the current situation doesn’t allow it: Reyeve was arranged by the Queen to “make a match” for me. Rejecting her here would only add awkwardness to the harmonious atmosphere between us. As a qualified gentleman, I would never be so straightforward here.
Moreover, she didn’t even give me a chance to speak: Reyeve has the typical personality of the Rosia Empire people, enthusiastic, simple, and… impatient. She directly put Ludwig and me in the car and took us to her place, not even bothering to listen to my answer, just assuming it was a given.
Then, the script gradually changed along the way, eventually turning into the kind of royal ending where “Reyeve has a good impression of Euclid.” Sigh… It was probably the incident at Louis XXIII’s birthday party that made this Rosia girl remember me. Plus, the Queen happened to arrange the meeting during her “cooling-off period,” so we met again. Now, the script is beyond repair.
Soon, Reyeve took us to her “home”… perhaps calling it a castle would be more appropriate. Even though “the era has been restored,” it doesn’t affect these aspects. Reyeve is one of the few remaining oligarchic nobles in the Rosia Empire, so her family business is naturally quite large.
This time, Ludwig and I didn’t have to hide during our “change” trip to the Rosia Empire, but… there are some things I still need to make clear to the warmly welcoming Reyeve.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when she “enthusiastically poured tea” for me, I also said the “euphemistic words” I had prepared for a while.
“Um… Miss Reyeve, actually, I came from the Great Ying Empire. My fundamental purpose… is to contact the Great Emperor Ivan Reti of the Rosia Empire. You can understand it as a special envoy.”
I didn’t come to the Rosia Empire for tourism. Perhaps when there was no definite “goal” before, I might have had the idea of spending some time peacefully in the Rosia Empire because I “knew nothing.” But now that I know what to do with the script, I can’t be lazy and delay anymore.
Reti has a “command” similar to the Queen’s, which can make her “remember.” I must make her “remember” before the changes in “this era’s” Reti become so numerous that even after the command is lifted, it has no effect on her.
Therefore, I must seize the time to meet and contact Reti. Reyeve in front of me can definitely help me, so… some words cannot be delayed.
The next moment, Reyeve’s gaze indeed became much stranger. Fortunately, her current thoughts should only be “having a good impression,” so she wouldn’t directly say, “You stinky man, get out of Brite,” and then drive me away.
However, Reyeve’s reaction puzzled me.
She didn’t seem to be jealous.
“Um… you want to see the Great Emperor Reti?”
“Yes… yes? What’s wrong?”
“Are you kidding?” Reyeve looked surprised. “Although it’s not appropriate for me to say this… just running off to see the Great Emperor Reti, even if you’re a foreigner, you might get… chopped off~”
Hearing this, I became even more confused. Fortunately, Reyev quickly and urgently explained to me, which made me understand why she reacted so intensely and strangely to the idea of “meeting Letty.”
“Have you not heard about this? To put it simply: Empress Letty is extremely strict. Even if a foreign envoy meets her, if Empress Letty is not satisfied, she will absolutely drive them away. Getting injured would be the lightest consequence.”
“But don’t misunderstand me, I have no objections to Empress Letty’s methods. The Rosia Empire is a strict military empire, and as long as one follows the rules and does not overstep, Empress Letty will not resort to violence.”
Reyev’s explanation was accompanied by the appearance of my script.
[Empress Ivan Letty of the Rosia Empire is extremely strict!]
Goodness, now I understand why Reyev gave me a “are you tired of living?” look when I mentioned Letty earlier. It turns out that in this era, Letty is like a short-tempered little tiger?
But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense: without Kefir’s existence, I wouldn’t have come to Letty’s Rosia Empire. If I had no relationship with Letty, it wouldn’t be hard to understand why she became increasingly strict and irritable.
However, it seems that Letty’s changes might have exceeded my expectations. It’s hard to judge the “degree” just from a single line in the script, but from Reyev’s response, it seems that Letty…
Might not be easy to deal with.
Unlike the previous encounter with the queen, at least I could reason with the queen. But with Letty, one mistake could be like a scholar trying to reason with a soldier—futile.
“I understand.”
Even so, I can’t avoid it out of fear. The next moment, I said, “I do have some messages to convey, so I must ask Miss Reyev to find me an opportunity. Please don’t be too deliberate; I don’t want anyone else to know about this.”
“!”
The speaker had no intention, but the listener was attentive. This Rosia girl seemed to care a lot about the idea of “only you knowing,” her expression even changed.
“Scumbag.”
“Shut up.”
Don’t suddenly become “unafraid of trouble” at a time like this, Ludwig.
As for Reyev, after a moment of stuttering, she finally managed to “smoothly” convey her current feelings and plans to me.
“Of course… but such opportunities are rare. Empress Letty absolutely won’t meet outsiders without reason.”
“However, we are not entirely without a chance. Mr. Lide, do you know about our Rosia Empire’s Lubyanka Academy? In fact, Empress Letty often works in this academy. Let’s go there together later; at least there will be a chance to meet Empress Letty.”

“Thank you.”
“No! It’s nothing!”
The elder sister’s voice changed with nervousness, and she hurriedly found an excuse to run away. If possible, I really want to… send this card out early to avoid trouble later, but… the current situation is a bit difficult.
After all, I still need to rely on her for the entire process, so I can only act “upright” afterwards to calm her thoughts.
Moreover…
The more Leyeve talks about Letty, the more uneasy I feel.
What kind of irritable emperor has Letty become in “this era”?
