I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive

17. Mao Luo’s Gaze (Happy New Year)

I was caught, after all, there was nowhere to run.

If I were the “infamous charlatan Euclid,” I could have slipped away using the script, relying on the fact that “no one knows my true identity.” But this time, Letty was clearly after me personally, after “Lide,” so the arrangements she made with her status meant that even if I knew where in the script someone was going to catch me, there was absolutely nowhere to hide, and the remaining places were all “go there, and you’re dead.”

Helpless, I could only surrender, then these black-clothed people, who seemed to come out of nowhere, gagged me, pinched my nose, closed my eyes, straightened my legs, and took me away.

At the last moment, I informed Kefir of my situation with a clumsy contract, which was my last memory at that time.

I don’t know how long it was, but I slowly came to in a dim environment.

I was sitting on a hard little chair that was so uncomfortable it made my butt hurt, but other than that, there seemed to be no severe torture injuries on my body, not even tied up.

Even so, when the super-large illumination lamp made of light magic stones suddenly lit up in front of my face with a “snap,” I understood: there was no way I could escape from this place with my abilities.

From noble mtl dot come

The blinding light magic stone illuminated me, and also the figure of a man in military uniform sitting opposite me.

“Finally awake, I am Sergei, the head of the KGB of the Rossiya Empire, dear Mr. Davari, next we will examine whether you have engaged in any petty bourgeois behavior.”

What?!

I hadn’t fully understood what this Russian had said, and the next moment, the Mr. Davari sitting opposite me was kicked flying out of the room.

“Turn off all the surveillance magic stones! And you, get out, there’s nothing for you here!”

Immediately after, a familiar petite figure took the place of the dejected Maozi who had just left, sitting down in front of me.

It was Letty, but compared to when she had seen me before, her attitude towards me had completely changed.

[Ivan Letty plans to kill Oji Lide.]

“This is the underground of the Rublyanka Academy, and also the headquarters of the KGB internal affairs of my Rossiya Empire.”

Letty, expressionless like a hunter eyeing her prey, stared at me intently, her voice carrying an authority that didn’t match her midget tone.

The next instant, a cold smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

“Big brother, do you know why I had someone bring you here?”

“…”

Nonsense, the script already says you’re going to kill me, what else could it be!?

That’s what I thought, but then I suddenly realized something: If Letty really wanted to “kill me,” then just killing me would have been simple enough, why go through the trouble of bringing me here!?

Could there be some other reason!?

“I don’t know.”

I answered honestly because I truly didn’t know.

Following that, Letty frowned, pulled out the pistol from her waist, and pressed it directly against my forehead!

[Ivan Letty feels deceived! So she captured Oji Lide!]

As the script appeared, Letty also growled at me.

“Because you lied to me.”

Now I was truly flabbergasted, not even having the time to worry about the dark muzzle of the gun pressed against my forehead, which could “bloom” at any moment.

However, no matter how I looked at the script, all I could see from Letty’s perspective was just that [Letty feels deceived, and she’s in a very bad mood.]

It didn’t reveal my true identity, which meant Letty hadn’t discovered that I was the “infamous charlatan Oji Lide.”

This made me even more confused; what could I possibly have done to deceive Letty!?

While I hesitated, Letty already put on an indifferent attitude and chuckled, “Hmph, actually, I’ve been deceived since the day I was born, so I’m not angry at all. But for those who lie, there must be some punishment.”

“Big brother, you’re one of the few things that suit my taste, so I’ll give you another chance. Ditch that white-haired one, become mine, and I’ll let you off.”

Before I could clear my head, Letty threw me another multiple-choice question. Reluctantly, I had to set aside the previous matter of “being deceived” and focus on this “choice.” On the surface, it seemed that if I just pretended to agree to Letty’s demand, she would let me go, but…

That’s not how the script goes.

[Oji Lide agreed to Letty’s demand, but Letty suddenly found it boring and shot Oji Lide dead.]

Could your temper be any more capricious?

[Oji Lide refused Letty’s demand, Letty’s mood worsened, and she killed Oji Lide.]

This is clearly an unsolvable problem; no matter what I choose, I’m dead! Fortunately, I decided to follow my own thoughts!

“Letty, I’ve told you I’m not interested in being your servant, but I can keep you company. By the way, I haven’t lied to you about anything, so… I refuse.”

“!”

Letty’s finger was directly on the trigger! With just a little more force, “click” and the next moment, my life as the villain Ogelid would be over, boxed lunch delivered! However, accompanied by Letty’s tantrum of pounding the table and stomping her feet, and after her roaring “Brett Brett,” the little midget in front of me finally gritted her teeth and withdrew the musket.

If this was Letty being unhappy, starting to dislike me, hence the script to kill me, she wouldn’t have hesitated to blast me away just now! The little midget’s hesitant reaction, in my view, was not so much hesitation… as it was heartbreak?

Combining Letty’s incomprehensible words of “I deceived her,” I felt even more that something was off with this script of “capturing me” and “killing me”!

But I didn’t have time to ask.

“Hmph, is that so? Since big brother you’ve chosen this, then you can only ‘go die.'”

Letty, having withdrawn the gun, stood up and casually issued me a death notice. She was probably trying to put on a smile, but what I saw was her indignant expression.

“But just blasting away a liar like you is too easy on you. I, the great emperor, will give you the simplest and most straightforward death, in keeping with the style of my Rosia Empire, so that you, big brother, will remember well before you die, the consequences of deceiving me! Go die! Suka Blyat!”

Letty stomped her foot, seeming a bit cheered up.

Then, with a snap of her fingers, the door in the shadows opened from the outside, and she waved at me for the last time, disappearing outside the door.

“Bye-bye, big brother, see you tomorrow on the pyre in the main street.”
