I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive

41. Chaotic Hyper-Evolution!

The words hung in the air, and the “Young Lord” finally faltered. After all… even in this far-flung corner of Northern Ireland, where the Emperor’s reach felt distant, even if he didn’t know Keffir by sight, he at least knew of my dear wife’s… almost-forgotten moniker: “Great Britain’s Genius Girl.” The man, Dio, certainly knew that.

So, my words might have sounded like I was admitting he was provincial. Here, I need to make something clear to this Wu Yanzu-lookalike: this wasn’t your misinterpretation.

【The Enraged Wu Zhen Dio, Driven by Jealousy, Murders Euclid!】

A death script. Sure enough, it materialized before me. From initial “jealousy,” to a direct wish for my “death,” the effect of “Chaos” on this Dio had, in a mere moment, transformed every thought, every secret desire, even the ones he hadn’t dared entertain, into action!

【Wu Zhen Dio Succumbs to “Chaos”】

Without question, “Chaos” had evolved.

The next moment, his urgent, angry roar echoed through the room!

“Wait! What did you just call me!?”

The earlier setback made him conveniently ignore the “Keffir” part. Moreover… the word “traitor” had clearly struck a nerve, forcing him to abandon any pretense of maintaining his “image.”

“‘Traitor’? It’s clear you’re using your position for personal vendettas! You think I’ll give you the chance!? This is my territory! My domain!”

His words were a command. As he spoke, I immediately heard more footsteps outside the door. This was no “spur-of-the-moment” thing. Which meant… it wasn’t just Dio; even the rest of his family had already succumbed to “Chaos” earlier on!

The door burst open, and Dio’s lackeys swarmed in. Completely consumed by “Chaos,” Dio had already written my death script. Naturally… he wouldn’t concern himself with my superficial identity at this point, or… how he was going to clean up the mess after whatever he did to me!

Simply put: he only wanted to eliminate the object of his jealousy, me, and become the lord of Northern Ireland himself. A simple, even comical, logic, yet under the influence of “Chaos,” it had become his sole, unwavering belief!

I feel like… I’ve seen this before! But there’s no time for idle thoughts right now!

Because I did that on purpose! I could have backed down just now, and had a million ways to make this kid face reality later! However, I directly targeted his weakness, all to see… if my next method could solve the victim’s “Chaos” by other means, when the script couldn’t directly eliminate it.

“This man dared to call us ‘traitors’! Kill him! Seize the woman! I don’t care if she’s some Keffir! I am the lord here, and we have the leverage to negotiate with Great Britain!”

Not particularly aggressive, but… supremely insulting.

The next moment, I could sense that Keffir was barely holding back.

After giving me a look that said, “It’s all yours, before I lose control,” Keffir pulled Fyllo aside, while I, facing the horde of lackeys who clearly wanted my head, decided I’d had enough.

After all, Order isn’t always benevolent and “standard.” It seemed this “Chaos” wanted to taste the absolute rule of “Order” in this era! To be looked down upon by an “elf”… even me, even Order itself, would find that unpleasant!

“Hmph! Now you understand!?”

Dio’s laughter came from the side. “I am the lord here, and everyone in Northern Ireland has to listen to…”

You?

No, as long as the era hasn’t been destroyed, everything…

Has to listen to “Order”!

【Squeak】

The ear-splitting scratch of the pen across the parchment echoed. In the next instant, all of Dio’s goons who had surged forward collapsed to the ground like puppets with their strings cut.

Dio’s laughter ceased abruptly.

【Euclid was affected by the Chaos…No, not affected by the Chaos!】

I hastily crossed out the immediately appearing, dangerous words. A wave of realization washed over me as I thought: *This iteration of the “Chaos” is incredibly dangerous.* I then glanced at Dio, who clearly hadn’t grasped what I’d just done, only staring back at me blankly.

“Don’t stare like that. Didn’t you want to ‘kill me’? I can’t just stick my neck out and wait for it, can I?”

I studied Dio. Could he be shell-shocked? Just moments ago, I’d seen the script of my death playing out in his eyes. Now… it was gone.

“I believe I said earlier, since you refuse to cooperate, you are a ‘traitor’ to the Great British Empire. Our Knights will treat you and your family as such. Lancel, inform the Knights. Come, take them away. Leave no one behind.”

The “Chaos” had already spread; I no longer intended to solve this with “peaceful” measures. Perhaps the Queen was right, such times demanded a firmer hand.

However, as my stance hardened, Dio seemed to finally realize: I had effortlessly crushed all his “preparations.” At this moment… the contents of his script concerning me began to… revert to normal!

First the death script vanished, now… even the script filled with jealousy disappeared!

“Wait, wait! What did you just…”

“Enough nonsense. 【Shut Up】. Anything you want to confess, any compromises you wish to make, you can discuss them at the Knights’ headquarters.”

Using the script to make him, literally, “Shut Up,” this time… Dio’s “Chaos” vanished along with it!

I would have liked to question him more thoroughly, but there simply wasn’t time—Louise’s Knights were swift. They must have received certain secret orders from Louise because, in short order, they had surrounded Dio’s mansion, and then began arresting everyone inside.

At the same time, a script appeared.

【Louise IV resolved the local nobles’ obstinacy for Euclid.】

But… the Queen said she wouldn’t interfere. How could she do this without my say?

Although I felt a slight discomfort, I couldn’t dwell on it. An idea that arose with the disappearance of Dio’s “Chaos” demanded my attention even more.

Dio’s “Chaos” vanished after he was “threatened” and witnessed something terrifying. And his original “Chaos” objective towards me, which was jealousy, and the drive for my death.

And last night, the events involving Kefeier were similar – she was jealous, but… after “that-that,” “boom-boom,” the next day, Kefeier was completely free of “Chaos”.

Could it be…

That this time to fight against “Chaos”, all that is needed is to resolve the victim’s “desire” in a relative sense, and the Chaos can be cleared!? For example, to deal with Kefeier’s “Chaos”, we can use the lower half to solve it?

Kefeier, having seen what I was thinking from the script, quickly kicked me in the knee.

But… this method had truly given me direction!
