I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive

17. Angry (Everyone remember to check out the new book～)

As the Emperor of the Rosia Empire, this seemingly small girl possessed strength far beyond merely firing a gun randomly. Fortunately, her explosive speed was so quick that she fired this shot at me without a second thought, lacking any “cool special effects,” and her aim was rather poor.

Moreover, I had already sensed the death script coming from Letty from the very beginning, so while it was dangerous, avoiding this death script wasn’t that difficult. All I needed to do was stand still, not show any signs of cowardice, and then…

【Whoosh】

I just had to watch a flash of fire whiz past my ear, while behind me, Professor Moriarty, who was about to do something, also lowered her cane.

As my gaze fell, Letty, with her gun still drawn, didn’t continue to be “angry.” Instead, she furrowed her brow as if sensing something and began to mutter softly.

“Strange…”

Her gaze turned towards me, and my script received Letty’s current thoughts.

【Ivan Letty is sizing up Oujili De.】

A nearby maid of Letty hurriedly ran to her side.

“Letty, Lady Letty, this is the territory of the Great Yīng Empire! Shooting recklessly here is troublesome!”

“Enough! This Empress doesn’t need anyone’s permission to do anything!”

After shouting, the little girl directly fired a shot at her maid’s feet, causing the poor woman to jump around like a monkey, making strange “chirping” sounds.

After this commotion, the golden-haired girl looked even more “confused.” She waved her small hand, calling back all the Rosian people who had climbed onto the wolf’s back.

“Wait for this Empress! We’re not going back yet!”

With such a forceful reversal, she casually tossed aside the firearm in her hand, drawing her sword as she walked towards me.

It was a… strange sword. At first, it could be called a “sword hilt,” but the next moment… accompanied by flickering golden lightning, a beam of golden light extended from the hilt, making it seem as if Letty was holding “lightning.”

She didn’t come back to apologize; instead, she was here to… “cause trouble.” But this time, the “trouble” was completely different from the earlier “mocking me and the queen” level!

“Hey, man, what did you just say this Empress is?”

Clearly, she had been the one to speak rudely at first, but now she spoke as if the fault lay with us. The queen, who needed to maintain her “persona” in such a situation, naturally couldn’t respond. Perhaps, as she said, the next part belonged to my “war.”

To say I wasn’t scared would be a lie; after all, I wasn’t holding onto the “protagonist’s” thigh, but the queen’s. But… there was a strange feeling that made me think that even if I were to “court death,” I wouldn’t have to worry about the death script being unavoidable.

This queen of the Great Yīng Empire was indeed not the “protagonist” of any script, but… her thigh was certainly not inferior to that of the “protagonist.”

“You’re just a little brat. If you don’t understand, let me put it another way: bratty kid, dead little ghost, do you understand now?”

Pausing, I met Letty’s gaze. “This isn’t your Rosian Empire where everyone flatters you; this is the Great Yīng Empire where the summit of nations is about to begin. Here, at least try not to be so annoying, little brat. You don’t really think that after a night of me chatting with Louise, my wife will forget, do you?”

“Cough! You…”

Could it be that I had overdone my description of this brat? Letty momentarily didn’t know how to retort! Pouting her lips, she looked as if she was holding back something to say, appearing more… troublesome than cute.

This was a standard brat, and this brat was the emperor of the Rosian Empire, so it was only natural that Louise wouldn’t be easy to deal with.

As for her current frustrated expression, it was merely the calm before the storm. I could see the script clearly; Ivan Letty wasn’t planning to let this go.

The next moment, the “thunderstorm” arrived!

“Louise! You really know how to find men, don’t you? If you don’t want to speak up yourself, you just find a scapegoat to do it for you!?”

The “Lightning” in Letty’s hand suddenly surged with more golden sparks, and then she raised it high!

“That great emperor will now fulfill this scapegoat’s role!”

Without even thinking about where she was or what stance everyone had, she swung it down at me!

Lightning seemed to fall from the sky! Accompanied by the death script reappearing before my eyes.

【Ogilvy was struck dead by lightning!】

This method of death fits my current situation too well, doesn’t it? Speaking of which, can I really dodge this level of magic just by reading the script in advance!?

Fortunately, in the next moment, I no longer needed to consider that.

“Ah… I’m not as impulsive as you think; you really don’t need to step in~”

A sigh came from Louise beside me, but when I looked over, what she showed me was not some “mask,” but a genuine… smile.

“But it’s quite good~ If I were to score based on my standards, it would all be around 80 points~”

Stop being so verbose; marrying you isn’t an exam!

In the next instant, the queen retracted her smile and spoke softly.

“Moriarty, Zerola, take care of this.”

The death script vanished, just as I had seen, and the two big shots behind me had already acted the moment Letty swung down the lightning. Uncle Zerola even directly “slapped back” this “lightning” with his hand.

The golden lightning disappeared right in front of Letty’s body, reflecting her clearly “angry” face.

“Succa… that’s why this great emperor didn’t want to come to this troublesome fox’s territory…”

“I heard that, Letty~”

Pulling me slightly back behind her, this time… the queen seemed to want to “take matters into her own hands.”

“Ah, what’s wrong with you lately? Getting angry at the drop of a hat isn’t good~ Whether it’s a gun or a sword, these weapons that should be regulated during the summit of the nations, the only reason you can carry them is because of your identity~ Using them recklessly is tarnishing the image of your Rosia Empire~”

“Ha!? What does this Emperor need you for…”

“Need you, oh~”

The queen didn’t wait for Letty’s mockery to finish and directly interrupted her words.

The smile remained, but… the voice gradually turned cold.

“Actually, it doesn’t matter what you do; I’ve never cared from the very beginning. However… this time it’s a bit unacceptable☆~”

“This is my empire, and just now you pointed your sword at my people, so… even if you, Letty, are very cute~”

In the end, the queen’s fleeting “true face” appeared in Letty’s eyes.

“You also need to see clearly~ If you lay hands on my things, the consequences~ are very serious, oh★~”
