I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive

44. Lonely Queen, Dealing Online

Although Dio’s sudden “Chaos” disrupted the rhythm somewhat, with the Queen’s knightly order which could be described as a “crushing” level of support, taking over and completely controlling the Northern Ireland region was only a matter of time.

Especially for the average Joe in the city, whether it was Arthur, Dio, or the chivalrous order of the Great Ying Empire, it didn’t matter who became the lord of the area, as long as their lives weren’t affected.

So, a few days later, I considered that I’d completed the task given to me by the Queen quite beautifully. I had the knightly order members brought by the Queen drive away those private soldiers arranged by Dio, then completely take over and garrison the Northern Ireland region.

Having done all that, I unhesitatingly went to find Queen Louise alone, both to report the progress and, of course… to express my gratitude.

Now, in Louise’s room.

Since leaving “that day,” Louise had been honestly restraining herself, not bothering me during these days of dealing with “Chaos,” which, truth be told, felt a little unsettling. Thankfully, upon seeing her again, the fragrance surrounding Louise within the room made me feel familiar, and Louise herself was in “Queen mode,” blinking at me, but not making any further moves.

Can’t be helped. Who told me to come back on a knightly order task ? The procedures had to be followed, just like doing things needed foreplay first.

“Your Majesty, the takeover and suppression of the North Ireland region are complete.”

Steadying myself, I pulled my gaze from the Queen’s face. Naturally, she wouldn’t expect any “kneeling” or such courtesies from me, so I was happy to simply stand before her, detailing the recent situation.

The Dio incident wasn’t the only exception. Apart from Dio, I also noticed: this “chaos,” it seemed, hadn’t significantly impacted the city’s residents, remaining confined to a small number of individuals.

Does this… represent an evolution of the “chaos”?

I pursed my lips, ultimately keeping that thought to myself, sticking to surface-level observations.

“In short, there’s nothing in this region that requires your concern, Your Majesty.”

“Mmm~ Thank you so much.”

The Queen’s smiling reply came as soon as the words left my mouth, not even bothering to confirm the veracity of my report. Immediately shedding her “Queen” persona, she jumped to the next matter.

The young woman rose and came to my side, seeming to want to reach up and do something, but ultimately thought better of it. Instead, she paced around me in circles, as if weighing a decision on my behalf.

“So, now, can we finally return together?”

Louise’s primary reason for coming to North Ireland, while fundamentally to see me, was ostensibly to arrive with reinforcements to take over the region. Now that North Ireland was at least somewhat stabilized, I had no real reason to stop her from leaving.

“Well… Louise, you can certainly head back to Great Britannia first.”

The joy on the girl’s face intensified. “Then there’s no time to waste! I’ll arrange for Moriarty to handle the handover. As for the need for some manpower to maintain order in North Ireland, we’ll leave Cville here…”

I cut Louise off before she could finish. She seemed a little too excited today; if I let her continue, I feared I’d once again fall into her rhythm.

“Louise? Your Majesty?”

“!”

“What I meant just now was, *you* can head back first. If anyone needs to stay behind, it would definitely be me and Cville.”

I watched as Louise gradually quieted, then continued. “I already told you, I’ve only addressed the problem of stability in North Ireland. The ‘chaos,’ however, is still hidden within. I certainly can’t leave until I find it and deal with it.”

“Then…”

“Speaking for myself, I hope you can return sooner rather than later. It’s more dangerous here than you imagine. And the danger… is something you can’t handle alone.”

As I finished speaking, I saw a flicker of disappointment in her eyes. If I could, I’d say something to cheer her up, but right now… with the “chaos” even showing signs of “evolution,” I couldn’t afford to relax.

Especially… when dealing with Louise.

“I apologize. Cville and I will resolve things quickly and come back to you.”

“…”

After saying that, I watched Louise’s every move with utmost care, terrified that the Queen might, in a fit of displeasure, slap me with the label of “scoundrel.”

Thankfully, or perhaps as expected of a Queen, while disappointed, she quickly understood my decision. Her only small retaliation was a slightly sarcastic comment.

“Ah ah~ So you’ll eat someone clean, and not even think about how lonely they are before sending them away~ Is that what a ‘master’ is?”

Don’t use your fairy “convenience” on me at a time like this.

“Louise…”

“Alright~ I understand. After all, as a fairy, there’s not much I can do to help you, so after bringing reinforcements, I figured it’s better for me to head back early~”

This time, Louise didn’t hesitate to meet my touch, though it remained only at the level of a caress.

Just days ago, she was practically a hungry she-wolf, but lately, it’s as if she’s changed her tastes, becoming so demure? Holding hands is enough?

I had no time to dwell on it, as Louise, even in this state, was enough to satisfy.

“After all, I’m the fairy who knows you best, right? I wouldn’t be silly enough to influence your decisions.”

“Ha… haha…”

I could only offer a wry smile, because… the Louise before me was far too clever for my own good. At times like this, a young woman’s understanding was both painful and pleasing.

“In any case, I’ll be with you until you leave. ‘Chaos’ shows signs of evolving, and I can’t ignore it. Afterwards, I’ll consult with Keefeir. You, Queen, should prepare for your departure in the meantime.”

With that said, I wanted to use the Script to confirm the Queen’s travel safety, but… with Dio’s death, my Scripts were once again restricted by “Chaos.” In the end, I had no choice but to give up, and took my leave.

The door clicked shut, but the young woman remained motionless for a long moment.

Then, as if realizing something, she flashed the kind of radiant smile only a pop idol could possess.

“Oh, honestly~ what can Keefeir do for you? In the end, isn’t it me who’s helping?”

Clasping her hands together, the girl happily approached the window.

“My dear cousin, it seems… you’ve obtained something you’re not capable of obtaining yourself~”
