I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive

3. Mother-in-law Joins the Battlefield

Although I understood: this must be the “test” that Louise mentioned to me before, but let’s not talk about the content of the test for now. Just the two Louises before and after left me completely bewildered.

They looked exactly the same, wore the same clothes, had the same voice, and even their little habits in their movements were identical. After they exchanged words back and forth, I couldn’t even tell which Louise had just walked with me. As for the end?

In the end, I returned home sandwiched between two identical Louises. Which one was real, the one on my left or the one on my right? Who could make sense of that!

And this confusion, indeed… was the “test content” this time.

After returning to the residence, Louise—no, both of these Louises—took turns explaining to me the more detailed “test requirements” in a way that I couldn’t distinguish between them at all.

“This time’s ‘test content’ is like this, oh~ dear, about the extra ‘me’, her true identity is a moon fairy named Iris.”

“To be precise, she is like a mother to me.”

I had already given up on trying to determine who was real and who was fake from Louise’s words. As for that word “mother,” it was even more absurd; I had never seen a mother who looked exactly like her daughter. Not to mention , these two Louises were speaking in a way that completely resembled a pre-arranged script, making it impossible for me to choose.

“I should have told you before, right? This is not just my ‘Great Yīng Empire’; it also includes this old lady’s layer.”

“She believes that you can now understand the ‘insider’ of the Great Yīng Empire, which is the trust of the moon fairy in you, but… it is also a test.”

Although there were some clues in their speech, in this back-and-forth situation, I truly couldn’t distinguish between the two Louises in front of me.

I could only watch as they both spoke together at the end: “This test is to examine your existence, to see if you can manage the entire Great Yīng Empire together with Louise.”

I wasn’t concerned about what “managing” meant; I was only reluctantly accepting it because of Louise’s hopes.

Thoughts bubbled up in my mind, but the next moment… something strange also occurred!

One of the Louises seemed to know what I was thinking and continued directly, “Whether you are willing to take control or not, whether it’s for Louise or for yourself, let’s save the ambiguous sweet nothings for after it’s all over. Testing your Elise’s power as a fairy is ‘insight into the heart.'”

“And the requirement for testing you is: do not ‘prophesy’ at any time. Otherwise… it wouldn’t count as a test. I believe you are not the kind of man who would play tricks, right?”

I… remained silent and did not respond.

I had no idea what “insight into the heart” was, but if taken literally, this statement itself was a “flaw”!

“Haha! Gotcha! Actually, I did it on purpose…”

Thinking this way, the Louise who just mentioned that the moon fairy had some ability was just a fake, right!?

I thought it was a beautiful idea, but the next moment, these two queens, whose identities I couldn’t discern, poured a bucket of cold water over me.

“Not useful~ There is a prerequisite: Elise also told Louise what she knows.”

Hey! Isn’t this playing tricks? What kind of nonsense is this!?

The other Louise was also very happy: “But it doesn’t rule out that Louise thought of it herself~ So, why don’t you guess? Was it my ‘inner thoughts’ that I saw just now, or did I judge your feelings based on your habits?”

“How many nights do you think we’ve spent together in bed? Just by raising an eyebrow, I can clearly tell what you’re thinking~”

Stop it, Queen, just stop!

“I want to be quiet.”

Now my head was filled with the queen’s voice, and when I looked up at the two identical Louises, I began to doubt whether there was something wrong with my eyes.

As for Louise, regardless of her authenticity, she didn’t force me to do anything but continued speaking.

“Taking it slow is fine~ We are one entity, and expecting you to discern our true and false identities in such a short time is, from our perspective, an overly harsh challenge. So, in the time to come, you will have plenty of opportunities to slowly perceive. We will give you that chance.”

“So, don’t let me down~ Ah, guess what, will it be Louise who is disappointed, or the moon fairy?”

Hey, this Louise who is mocking me with a smile, I don’t care if you’re real or fake, just shut up for now.

As for the test, after all, it was something I agreed to from the very beginning, and now that such an unexpected situation has arisen, I can only brace myself and continue. I have no interest in “controlling the Great Ying Empire”; I just want to seriously find the real Louise among them and tell my dear wife not to play with her man’s feelings.

Today, I definitely don’t have the energy to search; my mind is filled with the images of the two Louises. I must calm down first, at least forget the shock I just experienced, and then start looking for clues about them. As for the script, if I don’t need it, then so be it; I don’t want to be looked down upon by Louise.

I looked at the two Louises, both smiling at me. Just now, my thoughts must have been understood by that Moon Fairy, but even so, she didn’t show anything immediately. It seems that this Moon Fairy is probably not much worse than Louise. Sure enough… this test is a bit too tricky.

Sigh… Anyway, let’s take a break for now.

…

…

Thoughts emerged, but a moment later, I became unsettled. Because…

Louise and I have already stopped pretending about “marriage.” We’ve done what we needed to do; which day hasn’t been me hugging her thigh like a pillow to sleep? Hiss… But now: if these two Louises really have to maintain their disguise at all times, then wouldn’t that mean…

The moment I looked up, these two Louises seemed to be fully prepared.

“Exactly~ Always together, otherwise, the clever you would definitely notice something unusual right away, wouldn’t you?”

“So, the same goes for what’s next, and after that, we won’t just be living our ordinary lives together; even some ‘activities’ at night will be together too~”

After a pause, the two Louises laughed together.

“Eugene, you better be careful~ Don’t get it wrong~”

“Or do you want to confirm our authenticity in ‘that way’?”

“The Moon Fairy is like a motherly figure to Louise; her ‘responsibility’ is far more difficult than this current test, and it’s not easy to be responsible at all~”
