I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive

23. Are you serious?

Not long after Letty appeared herself, I had already seen Louise’s presence in the script. Although Louise was supposed to have “overheard by chance,” her actions of not wanting to reveal were clearly to hear my response.

So, regardless of whether I was willing or not to accept Letty’s olive branch, I could not agree to Letty’s request just now. Otherwise, I feared I would agree with my life on the line, but not live to see the night through.

As for my thoughts, they were not influenced by Louise’s appearance, and I truly would not agree to Letty. However, Louise’s behavior of eavesdropping, even though I knew it was the nature of this queen, still made me feel a bit uncomfortable inside.

That’s all. Perhaps I would forget after a good night’s sleep. But… Louise’s reaction was greater than I had anticipated.

To be precise, she was a bit angry. Clearly, I should be the one getting angry at this moment.

“I did not peek!”

“But you just…”

“I said I didn’t, so I didn’t!”

The queen rarely became “Letty-like,” and after a strong explanation, she turned her face, “I just happened to see and… also heard. But I had no intention of waiting; it was just that when I was about to come over to help you finish, you had already…”

Then, the queen’s voice grew smaller, “already… chased Letty away.”

“……”

I began to regret why I had complained to the queen just now because…

No matter how I looked at it, the awkwardness was all on my side, right? Fortunately, the next moment, Professor Moriarty, who should have appeared right after the queen, finally broke the deadlock for us.

“Ah, why is there such a sour smell here? Your Majesty, could you please step back a bit? I’ll have the maid thoroughly clean this place so it doesn’t offend my nose. Then…”

Sure enough, she shot me a glare.

“What are you staring at, Oujili? Hurry up and crawl!”

Crawl, crawl, crawl, I’ll crawl right away; I’m the best at crawling.

I immediately followed the queen, who was hurriedly escaping from this place.

The first day of the “Summit of Nations” was merely an “appetizer.” Although tonight I stood up to “help the queen make a name for herself” and took on a wave of “hatred,” temporarily alleviating the queen’s predicament, it didn’t mean we had won.

In the coming days, there would be several more “meetings” similar to today’s, and by then… the two midgets from the Rosian Empire and the Prussian Kingdom, who had suffered today, would no longer be as “careless” as they were this time.

Of course, it was fine to leave the preparation of countermeasures to the queen; at least this temporary “victory” was worth celebrating.

“So, Louise?”

I looked at the queen, who had returned to the room first and was now silent.

I thought she was still at a loss over the awkward atmosphere from just now, so I planned to speak up to ease the tension.

“I shouldn’t be a burden this time, right?”

The queen might really see me as a necessary drag, but I hoped my performance tonight would slightly change her opinion of me.

“After all, my ‘pre…”

Just as I was about to explain to her that my understanding was all thanks to the wonderful use of “prophecy,” the girl beside me suddenly lunged in front of me and covered my mouth with her hand.

“Shh!”

Seeing that I hadn’t reacted, she simply stood on her tiptoes to lean closer, but unfortunately… this time it wasn’t a sweet, wet kiss from the Great Ying Empire—Louise was biting my lip.

While biting, she also pointed towards the side, which was… the direction of the window.

This was Louise’s resting place; how could there be any “uninvited guests” lurking here? So the only reason left for her to physically stop me from speaking was the one and only.

【Louise IV suspects that the conversation is being eavesdropped on.】

The script indicates that I must take this seemingly impossible content seriously. Letty has just been looking for trouble, so if there’s anyone who definitely has a “bit of a grudge” against me, it can only be…

“!”

The queen’s small fist thumped against my chest, and then she maintained this tight embrace as we approached the table. She casually picked up the quill pen and left her mark on the paper.

“Fairy.”

【Adele is eavesdropping on the movements of Euclid.】

The queen’s guess was exactly what I had in mind, just as it appeared in the script. Immediately after, her fingers danced elegantly.

“They have fairies; this isn’t the first time. Without evidence, there’s nothing to blame, only to be cautious. Fortunately, it’s easy to detect, and I’m reminding you.”

At this point in the reminder, I certainly knew what to do.

So, everything that followed was unspoken.

I left the queen’s body; if she was just “eavesdropping,” then there were many things I could prevent in advance.

But the queen’s next “disguise” was a bit too explosive.

“Darling, shall we go take a bath together next?”

“Cough, cough, cough…”

Unlike the laughter in her voice, the queen’s face was clearly scolding, as if to say, “Come on, act!”

For heaven’s sake, can you blame me for this? Who told you to start with the highest difficulty! I knew it was acting, but I didn’t dare to agree!

“No, I think it’s fine, haha…”

“!”

This time, the queen simply lifted her foot to kick my thigh!

By the time I realized that the queen wanted to “find an excuse to leave here with me,” the opportunity had long since vanished without a trace. Great, it’s my fault; I’m the worst! Queen, you’re so sharp and capable; can you forgive me this one time as a newbie?

The queen put on a helpless expression, but at this point, she could only find another reason to continue our “loving couple” activities and conversations in the room late at night.

So, what would a normal guy do at night with an idol-level beautiful wife?

I quickly thought of the answer. By the way, the queen thought of it too.

She sighed silently in resignation, then… her voice immediately carried a hint of anticipation.

“That’s true, after all, I don’t want to go again afterward, so… shall we go together later? Let me give you a little reward for your ‘extraordinary performance’ today~”

“Sure, sure~”

I responded with a smile; since it’s just acting, why should I panic? Whatever happens, happens. Who knows, that elf Adéle might still be an “old maid,” unable to resist eavesdropping~

“Then let’s do this today~ No need to take off the dress, pants, or stockings; I like wearing them~”

“Okay~ ☆”

The queen happily winked, and then…

She pushed me down, straddling me.

Huh?

Wait a minute?

Louise, are you serious!?
