I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive

3. The Traitor: No Traitors

I felt a sense of righteousness on my face, but my heart was racing with excitement. Right now, I’m in this state.

After all, I hadn’t even had a chance to “repent” and “turn over a new leaf” yet, when Kefei, a dragon-like girl with a level of strength that exceeded my imagination, had already settled the matter with one slap! This is great, I’ve failed to surrender, and the action of holding the stool, ready to hit Kefei, looks like I’m about to launch a sneak attack on her.

In general, villains who don’t get hugged by the main character will be killed by the main character with one sword strike! What’s the point of rubbing legs when the beautiful girl won’t believe it’s genuine?

As I was still in a state of confusion and unable to move, Kefei’s next question made me breathe a sigh of relief. It seems she’s not only a main character in terms of name and strength, but also in terms of intelligence.

“Are you guys having an internal struggle?”

“Do you want to know the reason?”

As I blurted out a surprised question, I quickly composed myself and put on a “heroic smile” that I had practiced countless times, trying to make myself look less like a wicked sorcerer and more like an underground worker with a mission, because the next moment was crucial for me!

Kefei took a step back, her eyes still filled with suspicion: “Sorcerer Oiu Li De, using the so-called ‘prophecy’ to deceive and manipulate evil organizations, swindling the people. Ha! If you think these tricks are effective against me, I’ll give you a chance to speak before you die.”

Good! I won’t say just one sentence, I’ll finish it in three!

My body tensed, and I was already ready. The same was true for Kefei! She seemed to sense my unusual behavior and finally placed her hand on the sword at her waist, preparing to strike.

The villain, still a big villain, had only two outcomes when encountering the main character. Either you fail to deceive and get killed by the main character, or…

“I surrender!”

I finally managed to hug her black silk legs before Kefei’s sword struck me! With the scent of a girl’s body, as smooth as silk, I felt like I had the main character’s legs!

Kefei couldn’t have expected this situation, even in her surprise, her voice, originally intended to threaten, became a high-pitched girl’s voice.

“You… what are you doing!?”

“I surrender! Miss Kefir, Boss Kefir! Though I’m a charlatan, deceiving others, serving as the evil organization’s chief strategist, I now wish to be a good person!”

Serving tea, acting as a chair, being a lackey, I have no issues with that. Dying for the protagonist? That’s not dying, that’s advancing the plot! Clinging to these black silk-clad legs, I cling to hope, as if seeing a bright future!

“Let… let go!”

“I won’t! Look into my sincere eyes, see my honest demeanor, I’m serious about surrendering! You are electricity, you are light, you are the one and only myth! As long as you accept my surrender, from acting cool and arrogant to serving tea and warming beds, whatever role you want to play, I’ll prepare the script for you!”

Now Kefir was truly panicked! The aloof gaze, exclusive to protagonists, was gradually replaced by surprise and… confusion and panic at my actions! She immediately tried to shake me off the leg I was clinging to, but…

After waiting so long, I finally got a hold of the protagonist’s leg, and I’d be a fool to let go now! I’m like an octopus!

“Stop joking with me, you charlatan!”

She tried to shake me off, but because my action was so unexpected, Kefir didn’t stab me through. Instead, she kept pressing on my head, trying to push me away!

“You, who have done nothing but evil, now wish to surrender? Do you think anyone would believe you at the tribunal?”

“I haven’t done anything bad! On the contrary, I’ve done only good!”

“Nonsense! This is just another of your tricks to bewitch people, isn’t it!? Let go and I’ll end you swiftly!”

“Not at all! Before you take down those massive evil organizations, don’t you always receive letters signed ‘Lei Feng’?”

Kefir’s grip on my neck paused for a moment.

“You…”

“That’s right, it’s me!”

Being a major villain is just to avoid the common death that small fries face, but I’ve never forgotten to leave myself an out, to whitewash my image and cling to the protagonist’s leg when I meet them!

I am indeed the charlatan O’Gillette, mingling in various evil organizations, but I’ve really done no harm, it’s just my reputation that’s bad. In fact, before I feel the need to “relocate,” I always send anonymous letters to help the local kingdom take down the evil organization I’ve been with, then leave with a slight smile, leaving behind a handsome silhouette.

“I am the ‘invisible guardian’ of this continent! Would you bear to shatter this expectation?”

“The tricks of the rumored O’Gillette are very strange, how can I believe you?”

“Do you need me to prove it?”

I suddenly let go, and Kefir didn’t immediately “grant me a swift end,” just frowned and stared at me.

Proof? Simple, because according to Kefir’s script, there are indeed some dangers coming up… that I need to warn Kefir about in advance. After all, the leg I want to cling to belongs to the protagonist, I can’t let anything trouble them.

“Three poison-arrow shooters will rush to the main gate soon!”

This is definitely not my reminder! Because at the same moment as my “proof,” Kefir turned and swung her sword! The blast swept away, and the “reinforcements” that appeared at the door the next instant were blown far away!

According to the script, Kefir’s current strength should be at the level of dual sixth-tier in swordsmanship and magic. In my world, the ninth tier is saintly, and Kefir, at dual sixth-tier, is already a “genius among geniuses,” not to mention this is just the beginning! Clinging to this leg, it’ll be hard for me to die in the future!

After completing the action, Kefir turned back in surprise, not at the “reinforcements,” but at me!

“Did you arrange this?”

“Do you think so!? The magician hiding behind the chair is ready to cast a spell!”

This time, it really was the “script” I had spoken of in advance! Hesitating for a moment, Kefir chose to act, her figure vanished in an instant, already beside the cannon fodder, stomping their head into the floor.

In the following glance back, Kefir’s attitude towards me was even more puzzled.

Don’t look at me like that; as long as I can cling to your coattails, spoiling a few nobodies’ scripts is no big deal.

“Two thieves by the door have gone into stealth mode, ready to flee!”

No sooner had the words left my mouth than the sound of tearing air followed. Kefiel must have drawn two throwing knives from beneath her skirt, already piercing through the shoulders of the cannon fodder, watching them fall to the ground, wailing.

“Phew… rest assured, that’s all the threats to you taken care of.”

Having done all this, I took a deep breath and leaned against the chair. Kefiel’s script went like this: [Kefiel, storming into the evil organization alone, effortlessly took down all the members, but got slightly scratched due to a sneak attack.]

I’m about to cling to the protagonist’s coattails; of course, I can’t let anything bad happen to him. Besides, I can’t bear to see a beauty get hurt, it’s such a pity!

After this scene, even if Kefiel is as cold as ice, she must believe I’m a good guy, truly wanting to “surrender,” right?

My gaze shifted to Kefiel, silently preparing my “lines” in my heart, waiting to continue “clinging to the coattails.” However, what I saw was her somewhat worried shout, and then… suddenly pressed against my face were…

Two big, soft things.

“Charlatan, watch your back!”

Damn it! I forgot my own “big villain” doomed ending! I haven’t even clung to the coattails yet!
