I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive

19. This Time It’s Not My Wife

In the past, when the queen referred to someone as “dangerous,” she did so with a cheerful smile, as if to say, “I know she’s dangerous, but I also know her weaknesses.” Just like earlier, she was emphasizing how “adorable” Letty was, and how her reckless behavior was quite “naughty.”

But now, this queen had become considerably serious, almost as if she were stressing the danger of the “remaining person” at the summit of nations, fearing I might not grasp the seriousness of the moment. I didn’t even need to look at the script to know this was something I couldn’t ignore.

“My dear, have you ever been to the Rodma Empire?”

While treating the quarrel between the two midgets as “drama,” the queen asked me this with an expressionless face, enjoying the scene.

“I have, or rather, I’m quite familiar with it.”

The Rodma Empire had recently “emerged” like mushrooms after rain. To be precise, this empire had no real founding history; it was formerly a desolate place in the center of the continent, a gathering spot for too many “strange characters,” known as—The Land of the Unreachable.

The people there were all those who had “escaped” for various reasons, though that’s just a more artistic way of putting it. To put it simply: there wasn’t a good person among them. The original Land of the Unreachable was merely a “source of information,” filled with all sorts of true and false rumors. Yet, this hot potato, which no kingdom wanted to take on, had recently transformed into a well-known empire.

At that time, I was in the Great Ying Empire and couldn’t understand the reasons behind it. Now, judging by the queen’s expression, it seemed she hadn’t uncovered much either; everything about the Rodma Empire was still shrouded in mystery.

“When the Rodma Empire first appeared, its ‘king’ had contact with me. At that time, I had no reason to make enemies, so I acknowledged the existence of this empire and invited that ‘king’ to come. But in reality. .. I know nothing about that person at all~”

“At least you know if it’s a man or a woman, right?”

I asked tentatively, which seemed to “excite” the queen. She turned to me with a smile.

“Oh my, oh my, what’s this? If I were to say it’s a tall, handsome, and capable prince charming, what would you do?”

What would I do? I’d be eating lemons; how could I possibly compete with a tall, rich, and handsome guy? But after eating the lemons…

“I’d use ‘prophecy’ to investigate him thoroughly, even uncovering the color of his underwear.”

I looked at the queen; my previous words weren’t exactly a lie, and now it was her turn to feel awkward.

“Ah… ahaha~ No, dear, if you’re this possessive, I can’t just avoid meeting men from now on, can I?”

“I’m not jealous!”

I just simply wanted to check the background of that ‘king’ from the Rodma Empire; it shouldn’t have anything to do with the queen… Hmm!

“Don’t worry, it’s a woman~”

Only then did the queen tell me the answer, and then, “Rather than you worrying about me, I’m more worried about you~ Because that woman really makes me feel a bit dangerous, and… it seems the time is about right.”

As she spoke, the queen looked into the distance.

In her line of sight was the scene of Letty and Adev arguing, but in the next moment… the two little girls who had been chattering just a second ago fell silent. Accompanied by the appearance of a script, I also abruptly noticed an extra figure beside me.

【The representative of the Rodma Empire has appeared.】

“So this is the summit of nations? It looks like just a boring argument.”

A young female voice, but it didn’t ease my tension.

I wouldn’t feel relieved just because “the ‘king’ of the Rodma Empire is a woman”; what I cared about was her very self. After all, just like the sudden appearance of that female voice, in the script, the so -called “representative” of the Rodma Empire was only her alone!

She came here alone!? If that’s the case, it’s no longer a matter of “being bold” or anything like that!

In my line of sight, I saw a young and tall girl with black hair, draped in a long robe, black hair and red eyes. Even though her attire was simple, the sense of oppression emanating from her made me feel danger immediately! Even though her attire was simple, the sense of oppression emanating from her made me feel danger immediately! the script had to remind me separately!

【Euclid is being observed!】

This isn’t just a matter of pressure! Could it be that I’m so nervous I’m imagining things? I have this feeling that there’s something “hidden” in the eyes of this girl! And that feeling vanished without a trace the moment her gaze shifted away.

Just her standing here was enough to draw others’ attention; to me, she seemed like a born “king.” What burned in her eyes was a danger similar to but entirely different from that of Louise beside me. No wonder Ivan, Letty, and Adev would “temporarily reconcile” at the first moment.

“Hmph… a newcomer has arrived.”

“The barbarian from Rosia, let me see your monkey show next time; I don’t have time for that now.”

These two little girls had just been arguing, and now, after exchanging a knowing glare at the black-haired girl, they returned to their respective teams. And the black-haired girl didn’t seem to “care” about the obvious disdain from the leaders of these two kingdoms; she completely ignored it. She quietly waited until Letty and Adev left before walking towards us.

“The ‘king’ of the Rodma Empire, self-styled ‘Nilu,’ Euclid, you don’t say anything or do anything; I’ll handle this woman.”

After a moment of cold silence, the queen had already put on her standard “idol smile” and approached. I wanted to immediately remind the queen that 【Nilu had discovered the queen’s thoughts.】 This kind of script proves that this so-called ” king” named Nilu probably knows a thing or two about the queen and has done some investigation, but… time would not wait for me.

While I was still pondering how to remind her, the queen had already reached Nilu and stood before her.

“Don’t mind it, Miss Nilu. Those two always argue at every summit of the nations; it’s become quite routine~”

“It’s nothing, I have no interest in their countries anyway.”

【Nilu began to doubt the identity of Oqilid.】

This was true; after all, the script indicated… this girl was “interested” in me. I had spent some time in a place of no return; could it be that my identity and whereabouts had leaked out there and this Nilu had learned about it?

“First of all, congratulations, Queen of the Great Yeen Empire. I always thought no man could match you, and now it seems…”

After a moment of silence, the girl named Nilu looked over at me.

She chuckled softly.

“You found quite a capable man.”

“……”

Now, it was the queen’s turn to be in a difficult position.

Because there was only one explanation for Nilu’s earlier words!

She knew me, recognized my true self!

【Nilu had sensed the identity of Oqilid!】

Just as the content that appeared in the script indicated!
