Get Ahead of the Fallen Heroine and Make the Bull-Headed Man the Victim - Chapter 170
Chapter 170.
Agatha: I have no objections.
“Mr. Allen, you’re still alive! And what on earth is this!”
As Noah had anticipated, the first to express surprise was not the story’s protagonist, the princess, but rather Clyde, the one suffering.
It was no wonder, for standing beside the suffering one was merely a counterfeit with Valentina’s appearance.
Noah guessed her memories were all jumbled; she might not even know that Allen was dead.
“Hmph, sorry, Clyde, but as you can see, the king, queen, and little prince of this country are all in my hands. I intend to rule this nation and become its new king!”
Sitting on the throne, Allen looked as if he had already become the king of this country, his expression filled with arrogance, a stark contrast to the guise of a human scholar he had worn before.
“You won’t get away with this, Allen! This country will never casually support an outsider as king!”
Seeing Allen’s arrogant demeanor, the counterfeit princess finally remembered that she was the ‘protagonist’ of the story. She stepped forward, summoning all her strength to glare furiously at the blonde Allen, who was treating the royal family as hostages.
“Well, I certainly know that, but if I marry the princess of this country, then the legitimacy of my claim will increase significantly, right?”
Allen raised his chin proudly, looking down from the high throne at the furious princess and the shocked Clyde, a smug smile playing at the corners of his mouth.
“What? Are you talking about Valentina’s sisters? Now that you mention it, I haven’t seen them…”
Clyde thought Allen was referring to Delia and Veronica, so although he was shocked, he wasn’t overly worried.
After all, those two princesses had little to do with him, especially since the eldest princess had instructed the nobles to kidnap him. He was a bit afraid of that eldest princess, so how could he possibly be concerned?
“Sisters? Haha, let’s not talk about the younger one, but the elder one is out of the question. I’m not talking about them; I’m talking about you, Tina!”
Allen showed no hesitation in expressing his disdain for Delia and suddenly turned his gaze toward the princess, revealing a greedy look.
“Me!?”
The originally angry counterfeit princess was taken aback by this, looking bewilderedly at Clyde, her boyfriend standing beside her.
Clyde wore an expression as if he had misheard, staring at Allen in disbelief.
“That’s right, Tina! I have a great interest in you; you are simply the most suitable person to be my woman. The new queen of this country must be you!”
“Hmph, as expected of a bull-headed man, to be so shameless in front of the suffering one. I wonder how the real princess feels about this now.”
At that moment, Noah, watching everything unfold, couldn’t help but laugh and turned his gaze to the purple-haired maid standing a little further away at the entrance of the throne hall.
The ‘maid’ showed no emotion, her face expressionless as she watched the resurrected Allen confess to the counterfeit princess, who was not her.
She must be considering when to reveal her true identity.
Hmph, this is quite exciting.
With that thought, Noah shifted his gaze back to the suffering one.
It was clear that both Clyde and the counterfeit princess were firmly rejecting the blonde’s words.
“Haha! When did I ever say I was asking for your opinions? I’m just informing you!”
Then Allen let out an evil laugh, reminiscent of someone saying, “I don’t eat beef,” as if he were looking at two fools.
It was then that the two realized just how dangerous Allen truly was.
Especially Clyde; he was genuinely anxious.
Valentina is his childhood sweetheart and girlfriend!
How could he hand her over to someone else!
Because he was too nervous, Clyde unconsciously treated the imposter beside him as the real Valentina.
He didn’t notice that the real princess was actually watching him from a short distance behind.
“Right, right! Miss Agatha! You should hurry and stop Mr. Allen from spouting nonsense! Otherwise, this country will fall into chaos!”
In such a tense situation, Clyde naturally chose to seek help from the thickest thigh beside him.
That is, the silent Agatha who hadn’t spoken a word since earlier.
However, what he didn’t expect was that this imposing, tall blonde princess merely said:
“…I won’t interfere in the struggles between humans, even if it concerns the royal family. The goddess wishes for it this way, and listening to him, he’s only temporarily acting as king. The next king will still have royal blood, won’t he?”
“Miss Agatha!?”
“Oh? That’s quite surprising.”
Aside from Noah and the purple-haired maid, who didn’t seem shocked, the other three looked at Agatha with expressions of astonishment.
They hadn’t expected Agatha to choose neutrality.
“Because the blonde hasn’t shown the appearance of a demon, so she won’t intervene? This dragon-slaying princess really doesn’t hide her biases against humans at all. No wonder she was chosen by the goddess. Isn’t she even angry that her own descendants might lose the throne?”
Noah, who had anticipated Agatha’s response, looked at her with a gaze full of pity.
He could almost understand Agatha’s thoughts.
She believed this commotion was a trial; if Allen won, it would mean he was more suited to be with the princess. If Clyde won, it would indicate a stronger bond between them.
The stance was that since both sides were human, she would support both.
However, for Clyde and the princess, this was tantamount to betrayal.
“Ugh, don’t joke around! Allen! The person I like is Clyde! I will absolutely not become your woman!”
The imposter princess was the first to recover from her shock.
It seemed that even as an imposter, believing herself to be the real princess, she still had her own sense of dignity.
That was, she would never become the woman of this worst man.
“Y-Yes! Mr. Allen! That’s impossible! If you don’t apologize right now, I’ll take action!”
Seeing his childhood sweetheart so resolute, Clyde’s vague sense of unease also faded away.
He had no choice but to temporarily ignore the neutral Agatha and adopt the attitude of a man ready to fight to protect his beloved woman.
Though his speech still fell flat and lost a lot of points.
“Ha ha, then let’s see you try to stop me! Tina! Clyde-kun! If I win, you two won’t be able to refuse me!”
With the same fighting spirit, Allen used a magical cage to imprison the unconscious king, queen, and young prince, lifting them into the air above the throne, then laughed as he welcomed the two to challenge him.
Thus, the imposter princess and Clyde exchanged a glance before decisively launching an attack on Allen.
However, this battle was destined to end in defeat for the two, as one was over level 70 and the other over level 50, while Allen, in his human state, had a level of 90.
If Agatha had joined the fight, making it a three-on-one, they might have been able to gain an advantage over Allen. Unfortunately, she decided to observe from the sidelines due to her peculiar three-way perspective.
As a result, the battle quickly ended with Allen emerging victorious with an overwhelming advantage.
Since Allen had won, the defeated party naturally followed….
