I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive

2. You two are so lovey-dovey (please vote~)

It’s not that I have any confidence in ignoring the queen beside me, who is clearly “using me,” while she puts on a face of “she’s a naive and pure girl, now deeply in love, a simple queen, simple·girl. “

After all, I’ve long known from the script: all of this is fake, it’s all an act! Every move and word of Louis IV in front of outsiders has no “reality.” They say truth and falsehood are the same, but if the acting reaches the level of the queen, it’s much harder to see through than any “truth or falsehood.”

But right now, I’m like a clay Buddha crossing the river, unable to protect myself; my own life is at stake, and I’m still counting on the queen to shield me. After all…

When I finally realized, I found that the situation I was facing was anything but simple—after the queen signaled the guests present to feel free to talk, the majority surged over like a tide.

They weren’t here to ask the queen, “Why are you suddenly getting married!?” It was pointless to ask, after all, the queen is now completely a “girl in love,” and… no one dared to, as those here somewhat knew the queen’s methods.

So, I became the scapegoat and the fall guy, suddenly bombarded with various attitudes and remarks, making me bear the dangers that my identity shouldn’t have to endure.

“Sir, what’s your name? How come I didn’t know you existed in the empire!?”

“Are you ready to become a prince?”

“Hmph, is that it? You look like a poor wretch; what on earth did you do to get close to the queen?”

Curiosity, envy, and so on are just a few; more people feel nothing but naked jealousy and resentment towards me. After all, for this group of young masters, life is all about “becoming a CEO and marrying a beautiful, rich woman, ” while the young, beautiful, and seemingly innocent queen naturally becomes their ultimate goal.

Now that this ultimate goal has been snatched away by me, this “toad,” it’s no wonder these male swans want to peck me to death.

Huh—swan meat? Hmph, brothers, it’s a pity I can’t tell you that in the queen’s eyes, you are merely ornamental. You are just there to make the Great Yīng Empire appear more “beautiful” to the outside world. When the time comes to eliminate you, the queen won’t hold back.

Want to marry the queen? Even I, who am following a script, am too scared to do so; do you… have that kind of fate? Even a cat with nine lives might not be enough.

Look, in the next moment, I don’t even need to think of a way to deal with these boring “minions” and their malice towards me and the death script they bring. The queen doesn’t want me to waste time with them.

“Everyone, please don’t chatter; it’s quite unbecoming~ If you really want to hear the story of our encounter, we’ll find a time to tell you separately.”

As she spoke, the queen tilted her head and winked at me, her every frown and smile filled with the joy of a girl in love.

“So, how about it, dear?”

“…As long as you have time.”

Yes, it has to be when there’s time, after all, I still need to discuss with you what kind of “process” we should have, to create our wonderful story of “meeting, falling in love, and loving each other,” like a white fairy tale—very romantic, very much the Great Yīng Empire.

Otherwise…

【I am a suspect secretly wanted across the continent, and you are a treacherous woman with two faces. I want to use your power, you want to use my strength, I plan to blackmail you, and you plan to stab me… 】

This story cannot be told.

After finding such an excuse, the queen indeed fulfilled the promise she had just made to me, leaving with me under the pretext of “it’s too chaotic here, not convenient for two people to talk.” Until the end, this treacherous woman still had to maintain the appearance of a “pure girl,” while also attracting the fantasies of many young noblewomen of the Great Yīng Empire about this “fairy tale.”

“How romantic!”

“So loving!”

“Ah~ In my next life, I really want to be a man and marry the queen~”

Hey, the last one, isn’t your expectation a bit off?

In any case, tonight’s death script was something the queen helped me get through with her absolute power. Together, we returned to the queen’s chamber, escorted by a group of “white-clad reapers” known as the Great Yīng Empire’s patrol team—this place would soon, without a doubt, become our “room for two.”

Once the escort members left, and only the queen and I remained in the entire room…

Sigh… Young masters, young ladies, the scene that can shatter the ugly jealousy and boring delusions in your hearts is just beginning.

“Sigh… You’re really useless.”

The woman before me seemed to have changed her face entirely, directly exposing her true nature.

“Have you figured out the question I asked you to ‘think carefully’ about just now? O’Keefe?”

Cunning, treacherous, cold-blooded—I once thought these words should not be used to describe a young woman, but they fit perfectly on the queen of the Great Yng Empire before me.

Men always fantasize when encountering a “bad woman,” thinking, “I can make her show her true self; I must be special to her.” While this thought isn’t entirely wrong, what does it mean?

Would such a woman show you mercy just because you are “special”? Would she even hesitate to “have you”? Of course not.

So what use is it to know her “true nature”? It would be better to live happily in “ignorance,” at least the disguised queen truly appears to be a naive and lively idol. Rather than the current… cold-blooded monarch, looking utterly chaotic, satisfied only with the stage and lights as the “first idol of the Great Yng Empire, Louise.” Isn’t she charming?

You want to come? I would gladly switch places with you.

Of course, it’s too late for regrets now; I have no choice but to confront her head-on.

“Are you looking down on me? I don’t need any ‘prophecies’ to know that you just want to remind me who is thinking of me and resenting me, right? This meeting is just to let me ‘understand’ and prepare in advance.”

“☆～”

The queen didn’t even look at me, sitting at the table and starting to apply makeup remover on herself. Even if she didn’t need makeup, her appearance was already flawless, but she insisted: forming habits is very important.

Just like… the masks she switches between so effortlessly.

“Is there another thing you won’t say?”

“Queen, can we keep a bit of romantic sentiment?”

“No☆～ It’s more direct to say it out loud than to think it in your heart～ Even if I know, I still want to hear it～”

“Sigh… The second one.”

I revealed another purpose behind the queen’s actions today.

“You want me to help you see who is opposing your decision, even if that decision is marriage.”

In order to remind me of the danger, she specifically arranged a meeting? Come on, this woman isn’t that kind-hearted.

The second purpose is her true intention; she… for me, but also for herself.

“The condition for exchange is this, oh~”

Through the mirror, the queen looked at me inside.

From my perspective, all I saw was her expressionless face, as if… waiting for a mask to be installed, which is her true self.

Young masters, do you still want to feast on swan meat?

Do you still dare?

“‘Prophecy,’ tell me among this batch of guests, who is dissatisfied with my decision, O’Keefe.”
