I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive

2. Which Louise did you lose? (Seeking tickets~)

After the summit of the nations concluded, life with the queen gradually became monotonous.

In fact, from an ordinary person’s perspective, our daily activities were anything but monotonous: we had to frequently meet with strange “big shots”; we had to subtly discover and perceive these people’s “thoughts”; and finally… we had to be extremely cautious in maintaining our own image and behavior, after all, my and Louise’s identities here could not afford even a single “mistake.”

Such a life, when viewed through ordinary eyes, seemed as perilous as walking a tightrope, and there wasn’t even a moment to rest; we had to keep busy without pause. But… for me and Louise, it hardly counted as anything.

That’s why Louise kept emphasizing to me: don’t compare us to ordinary people, because we are different from them~ After saying such things, she would give me a kiss, then continue to display an idol-level smile, emphasizing our love and the stability of the Great Yeng Empire to everyone, while that whispered remark would be heard by no one but me.

Well… to put it bluntly, we could just call this “a meeting of like minds,” right?

After all, I have my script that I can “see,” and Louise has her own wisdom and the help of her subordinates to “understand.” For us, walking a tightrope doesn’t exist; at most, it’s just playing house.

So, perhaps I had grown tired of these unchanging days myself, and finally, after a few days, having concluded a meeting that posed no difficulty for me, on the way back to rest, I looked at the girl beside me.

“What’s up? Do you have something to say? Shall we take a detour?”

This question didn’t need me to answer, after all, the hand we were holding had never loosened from the start; I had no other choice but to go wherever Louise wanted.

“Just right, let’s visit the flower garden~ I suspect you’re about to ‘ask’ something.”

I didn’t quite understand what Louise was saying, but it was common for my queen to say things that others couldn’t comprehend, so I didn’t pay much attention and continued.

“Louise.”

My question wasn’t that “important”; it was just that my activities with Louise had been so monotonous these past few days that I began to wonder if she had forgotten about something she had mentioned to me before.

“Didn’t you say before that you would give me a ‘test’? Of course, I don’t want to be involved in any strange matters, but… it’s been so long, have you forgotten?”

I hadn’t encountered anything that felt like a “test” these days. If I had to say there was any kind of trial, it was merely the appearance of some “beautiful girls” in my daily schedule. They might have been sent by their families or simply acted on their own ideas; in any case, they all had one purpose— to seduce me.

I, of course, ignored them all. But putting aside whether Louise would create a “test” that would make her jealous, I mean, what era are we in that we still use such things to test loyalty? My queen is not that childish .

So, if the interruptions in my schedule weren’t a test from Louise, then…

“When did it start?”

That was what I wanted to ask Louise.

At first, I thought maybe Louise was reluctant for me to participate in some strange “test” and was deliberately delaying it, but the next moment I realized: I seemed to have overestimated my position in her heart.

Perhaps, Louise was just waiting for this moment.

“Start?” She tilted her head, looking at me with some confusion, then chuckled softly, “It’s already started? It began the night I reminded you.”

Hiss… but after that, I didn’t feel anything that could be considered a “test” at all!?

While I was puzzled, Louise didn’t stop her steps; she just turned her face away, not making eye contact with me, and asked softly.

“It seems I need to make an opening statement~ So… do you like me?”

This question left me even more bewildered. At this point, asking such a question as “what is 1+1” was of what use?

At first, I laughed at why Louise would act like a pure-hearted girl at such a time, but soon I realized…

She wasn’t just trying to “act cute.”

The questioning continued.

“When I do things that completely contradict your thoughts because of my identity and position, will you still choose to support me?”

This time, Louise did not give me time to respond, nor even time to make a judgment; it all felt rushed.

“When one day I regard you as an enemy again, will you beg for mercy, or will you share the same attitude as I do?”

“Do you truly understand that I am Queen Louise IV of the Great Yīng Empire? Or… during this time, have you gradually come to see me merely as Louise, your wife?”

Louise’s questions grew increasingly strange and difficult to ponder.

Until finally, her questioning came to an end.

“So… do you really know me?”

As my gaze fell upon her, Louise released my hand. While I was still lost in thought over her previous question, she stepped in front of me, turned to face me, and clasped her hands behind her back.

Then, she spoke.

“This is the last question, Oujilide, do you… think I am ‘me’?”

What do you mean by ‘you’? Tonight, has Louise taken a liking to discuss philosophical questions with me again? I was about to respond with a smile, but at that moment, I finally realized something was off!

I had been troubled by Louise’s strange questions and had not paid attention to anything else! Now that the questioning was over, and I had somewhat answered the previous content in my mind, I suddenly discovered!

Although the voice just now was all Louise’s, the… direction was wrong! When holding hands, Louise was clearly by my side, yet some words seemed to be… coming from my other side! Could it be that Louise could shift and change forms! ?

And now! Clearly, Louise was standing in front of me, yet the words…

were coming from behind me!

My mind suddenly cleared! Instinctively, I turned to look behind me!

Should I say I “guessed” it at that moment!? Sure enough, behind me… no, in front of me? No, wait! Is it in front or behind? In any case… there appeared a Queen Louise IV of the Great Yīng Empire both in front and behind me!

Indistinguishable, I… simply couldn’t tell! I only knew that the previous question was spoken by her… uh, was it from the front or the back!?

In the next moment, I even lost clarity on my original judgment! I only knew that these two women spoke almost simultaneously, conveying the same content to me.

“Dear, this is the test I mentioned to you earlier. It tests whether you can truly become a part of the Great Yīng Empire, and it is also… to eliminate the last trace of doubt I have in my heart about you. I’ m sorry, I may not be a good wife after all~”
