I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive

22. Being the Queen’s O is my honor

No one had any objections.

Perhaps it was because I looked like just a “kept man,” that I managed to coax out quite a few of the girls’ little secrets with just a few words. In the subsequent so-called “meeting,” they were all unusually quiet , seemingly still pondering and digesting my actions, identity, or rather, everything related to me. Thus, it turned into a one-woman show of the Queen’s smile.

As for what the Queen said, no one cared; everyone seemed to just want to wrap up this meeting that had already “gone off the rails.” To put it simply, they wanted to fast-forward to the end, allowing them ample time to “investigate” me. Today’s meeting was merely a “prelude.” In the coming days, with more representatives from the kingdom appearing, everyone would have enough time and opportunities to sort out their own matters and then participate in the “second,” “third,” or even more sessions.

So… the trouble was just beginning.

After it ended, at this moment, having already made a splash at the recent summit, I, who had almost drawn all the “hatred points” for the Queen, naturally could not continue to linger in such a dangerous place. So, I found an excuse to slip back to what was now the safest place for me—the Queen’s chamber.

Those women, no matter how fierce, wouldn’t dare to run to where Louise sleeps to start a fight, right? That’s what I thought, and in fact, it was indeed the case. However…

I hadn’t walked far on my way back when I encountered an unexpected guest.

No, saying it was a “volatile little furball” might be more accurate.

“Hey, Louise’s little kept man.”

The one who had just left with the arrogant excuse of “This Emperor finds it boring, I’m going back,” was Letty, who hadn’t actually left but had instead “ambushed me” on my way back.

There she was, this little midget in a black coat, treating her dangerous firearm like a toy, tapping it on her shoulder. After letting out an annoyed shout at me, she slowly walked toward me. In the script, she didn’t intend to “shoot me dead” directly, but… being stared at by such a self-assertive and daring little bear midget was quite uncomfortable for me.

Was she planning to interrogate me about the “secrets” I had revealed during the summit? However, just as I was pondering what to do and looking at the script, Ivan Letty’s questioning caught me off guard.

“This Emperor is wondering, you… wouldn’t be threatened by that stinky fox Louise, would you?”

What?

I was momentarily confused; perhaps due to the age gap, I didn’t quite grasp this midget’s train of thought.

Letty quickly added, “That woman is someone who will stop at nothing, and wouldn’t feel the slightest bit of guilt for making others take the blame. Although I was really annoyed earlier and wanted to shoot you, this Emperor was reminded by her subordinates that you’re not just passively being a scapegoat, but actively drawing our attention away, aren’t you?”

Saying this, the midget looked at me with a pitiful expression and laughed, “Ha… how pathetic, Blet! You wouldn’t have some dirt on Louise, would you, forcing you to say what she tells you? To think you ‘re a man, yet you’re scared of a woman like Louise, how cowardly~”

I didn’t respond; after all… you have a gun, so whatever you say goes.

As for whether it’s right or wrong? Half right, half wrong.

I did have some experiences of “mutual threats” with Louise, but that was all in the past. The recent “provocation” was a result of my own choice, not something Louise commanded me to do. After all, my idolized girl isn’ t someone who enjoys “slapping faces.”

Contrary to my thoughts, Louise is the type who pursues “killing.”

Of course, I definitely wouldn’t tell the midget in front of me. There’s no need, and I can’t. To Ivan Letty, I am just a “scapegoat.” If I accidentally reveal something, she would really take me as Louise’s “weakness.” The latter would be me digging my own grave.

“Actually, this emperor has no interest in you at all. Who would be interested in a scapegoat… But I just can’t stand that Louise plays this game every day.”

As she spoke, Letty pointed with her white-gloved hand, “So, do you want to run away and come to my Rosia? I can guarantee your safety, of course… more so to see the joke of that woman Louise. Don’t you want to take revenge on that disgusting woman? This emperor gives you a chance.”

Accompanied by Letty’s confident and proud words, my script also appeared.

[Ivan Letty is not lying.]

The script indicated so, and… this midget, who only thinks about finding trouble, really has no need to deceive me. She is like a little brat who hasn’t taken advantage of the situation and must “get back at” someone to feel better. And it just so happens that this brat is the emperor of the Rosia Empire, making the scale of this “getting back” correspondingly dangerous.

As for “taking revenge on Louise”? Sigh… how should I respond to that? I need to give an elegant, upper-class response that won’t make Letty suspicious. As for whether this response would lower my evaluation in this midget’s eyes? I don’t care at all; in fact, the lower, the better. After all… I’m not trying to win the favor of this brat by stepping up to provoke just now.

“Haha~ forget it, I’m cowardly.”

I used an unresolvable answer to refuse Letty, along with a silly laugh to lighten the mood. Then… I watched as the expression on this midget’s face suddenly turned furious.

“Su… forget it, useless, too lazy to deal with you.”

This time, she couldn’t even be bothered to find trouble with me. After giving me the middle finger and throwing down a harsh word, she angrily chose to leave. After all, this is the interior of the Great Yng Empire; it seems this Letty still has a bit of a “small brain” and didn’t dare to do anything reckless here.

“Refusing a toast only to drink a punishment wine, there are as many of your kind on Louise’s side as there are, you’re just one of them. A toad should stop dreaming of eating swan meat; if you can’t get it , you’ll just have to pay for it yourself. Hmph, just wait to be dealt with~”

The simple and straightforward emperor of the Rosia Empire, although her mouth is full of flowery words, her intentions aren’t bad.

So, I didn’t linger any longer, just watching Letty quickly walk away, gradually disappearing from my sight. As for being called “useless” and such, it’s no big deal. I’ve been a “wanted criminal” and “big villain” for so long; at this point, I wouldn’t care about other titles.

What I care about is just one thing, one person.

“Sigh… have you seen enough? You really are as Letty said, insidious and with a twisted sense of humor.”

The next moment, I turned around.

Looking back at the figure hiding in the shadows, I had no idea how long they had been quietly watching this place.

“Your level of vigilance, while I can understand it, is still quite heartbreaking, Louise.”
