I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive

38. It’s Not Me, Don’t Talk Nonsense

I was surprised to see Kefir, who had slipped into Louise’s chamber, clearly here to find me!

“Why are you… No, how did you know I was here?”

“Did you forget the contract on you? I saw from the contract that you were in the princess’s chamber, so I made an excuse to the princess that I was fetching her umbrella to come find you.”

Kefir’s voice carried emotions that were hard to discern, whether it was anger or urgency, but under the dim night sky, her eyes gazing into mine were clear as water.

No wonder no matter where I thought of hiding, the script showed I would be discovered. It turns out Kefir used the contract to find me! And the script about jumping out the window, that would truly end with me being discovered by others and then mutilated!

“And, the question should be mine to ask. What are you up to, Ogelid? I won’t bother thinking about how you managed to get here for now, so why did you sneak into the princess’s chamber again?”

“No, there’s a reason for this, I…”

Now was clearly not the time to explain the facts to Kefir, and what’s more troublesome: the next moment, footsteps were heard outside the door again.

“Shh!”

Kefir slapped her hand over my mouth.

With Kefir’s status as the true protagonist and her excuse, she could have easily turned me in out of righteousness, instead of risking it with me. However… after giving me a piercing look, I still heard Kefir’s soft sigh by my ear.

Truly worthy of the protagonist! Look, she doesn’t betray her teammates even at crucial moments! From now on, not to mention being your accessory, I wouldn’t mind warming your bed!

Before I could express my excitement, I immediately removed Kefir’s hand and held her wrist.

“The wardrobe is safe.”

“…”

After a moment of silence, Kefir finally grabbed me and together we hid inside the wardrobe.

Almost at the same time, the door to the chamber was opened from outside!

“Kefir, did you get my umbrella? Huh?”

It was Louise!

“The umbrella… it’s gone, Kefir took it. I didn’t meet her on the way, maybe she took another passage? What a pity, I really wanted to have a chat alone~”

Louise, who had returned, didn’t notice the movement by the wardrobe, but she didn’t leave so quickly either.

As I heard her footsteps growing closer, she finally stopped just a few steps away from the closet where I was hiding with Kefi’er.

The silence in the bedroom was terrifying. If I made any noise, I would expose myself. But, unfortunately, this was a problem: the “big leg” I was holding, Kefi’er, the heroine of the heavens, was clearly not used to such “stealthy” situations, and her current state was even more tense than I had imagined.

As the main antagonist, I had done many sneaky things before, and I wasn’t afraid of getting caught. But Kefi’er was different: in this small, dark space, with a tense atmosphere, and unable to make any noise…

In this situation, Kefi’er’s only option was to: use the force to hold me tighter, almost to the point of breaking my old waist!

You’re a beauty, not a crab! Although I said that, every time Ruisi spoke, Kefi’er would hold me even tighter.

“Who would have thought you’d open the window, oh dear… even considering mosquito problems, Kefi’er.”

As Ruisi spoke, Kefi’er’s breathing, which had been slightly irregular due to tension, fell more frequently on my face. Ah, it’s no wonder people say that women are made of water – even though Kefi’er was about to strangle me, her whole body felt soft and sweet, like a cotton candy, and I felt like I was holding a living being instead of a person.

If this kept going, it wouldn’t be dangerous, but my little brother might not be able to “hold on”. Of course, I wouldn’t dare to think of anything at this moment, but sometimes men’s primal instincts just can’t be controlled.

After all, we were stuck together like this, and Kefi’er soon sensed the unusual situation on my side. Under the faint moonlight, I vaguely saw her blink her eyes in confusion before suddenly reaching out to scratch my chest with a “tch” sound.

“Huh…”

I almost yelled out, but her hand covered my mouth again. Since my “little brother” was being uncooperative, I had no reason to argue, and Kefi’er’s soft hand was also very alluring. I gave in.

You’re the heroine, you’re the big leg, do whatever you want.

“Uh, it seems there are wild beasts sneaking into the palace… even though we’re not supposed to let them in to cause trouble…”

The sound of the window closing, Ruisi also had no reason to stay any longer, and soon her footsteps disappeared after the door closed.

“Ahh…”

I let out a long sigh, and at the same time, Kefi’er immediately pushed me away and opened the closet door, looking panicked.

As she opened the closet door, Kefi’er looked at my lower body with a displeased expression, her face illuminated by the moonlight. For a moment, I forgot to explain, and I even forgot the subtle pain in my chest.

Wasn’t Kefi’er just being shy just now?

Just as I thought that, Kefi’er, the heroine, surprisingly remained calm.

“Shaman, earlier you were pretending to be a hero, and this time you sneak into the queen’s bedroom, what are you trying to do, Snow Wind?”

“Now is not the time to talk, I can only tell you that I was sent here by prophecy.”

“Did the prophecy tell you to raid the queen of the Dahe Empire?”

Kefi’er glared at me.

“Something like that…”

Upon closer inspection, my behavior was indeed so abnormal that I couldn’t even find an excuse.

“After I’ll tell you the reason, we should quickly leave, as we have a chance within the next minute, but if we’re late, we’ll be unable to get back!”

“You…”

Kefi’er hesitated, but said honestly, that she now had sufficient reason to kill me, but…

The girl’s conflicted expression gradually turned into resignation, and her tense voice finally became a sigh. Looking at me again, Kefi’er’s eyes no longer had any intention of holding me accountable.

“It’s true, we’ve been away for too long and will be suspicious. Let’s think of a way to sneak back quickly.”

As she tightly grasped my hand, Kefir murmured shyly and softly.

“I’ll trust you one more time, you charlatan.”
