After all, as if touching her breasts was a powerful medicine, Kiana returned to her old self.
However, the attitude towards me has changed subtly.
“Priest, try this too. It’s delicious.”
Kiana smiled softly and put the meat to my mouth.
“Ah- Thank you. Sister.”
I smiled vaguely and accepted it.
Of course, it would be nice to be fed by a beautiful woman like Kiana, but the problem was the kids next to her.
“Profit! Try this too!! In the Republic, eating like this is the way to go!!”
Lee Ji-soo scooped out a lot of mixed food with a spoon and fed it to me.
He didn’t want to eat it, but Lee Ji-su glanced at Kiana with a crying face, so he couldn’t refuse.
wow-
As expected, nausea came up from the dull taste, but I struggled to endure it.
Jisoo Lee smiled broadly as if she liked my reaction.
“…”
This time, Chun-oh placed a small bowl on top of the spoon and held it out to me.
“It’s a bowl. It’s not eaten.”
I hurriedly took the bowl and put it down.
Chun-oh chewed something and looked at me.
“What’s in your mouth?”
Cheon-oh’s big cheeks made me uneasy.
“Wow-.”
Shattered pieces of bowl fell from Chun-Oh’s mouth.
“Hey! I told you to keep a close eye on what he eats.”
He hurriedly opened his mouth and looked inside.
“Comrade Cheon-Oh!! Why are you eating such a delicious dish with a bowl!!”
Surprised, Lee Ji-su also stood next to him and checked with him.
to-.
Chun-oh’s mouth looked the same as that of a normal person, but even when he chewed the bowl, there were no wounds.
I knew he was weird, but he’ll chew on the bowl.
“Comrade Chun-oh’s mouth is so revolutionary. It’s okay to chew something like that. Aren’t you feeling bloated or bloated? Ahhh!”
Lee Ji-su put his finger in Cheon-oh’s mouth, and when it was chewed, he screamed and patted Cheon-oh’s back.
“Wow-.”
Blood trickled down the side of his mouth.
“Oh! Comrade Chun-Oh ate my finger! It hurts! It hurts!!”
Lee Ji-soo screamed as he looked at his blood-stained hands.
“Your fingers are still attached. It’s just a little bit, so don’t be shy. So why put your finger in a kid’s mouth.”
He wiped the blood from his mouth with the napkin next to him.
“Huh? It was just a bit of a bite.”
Lee Ji-soo, who had a seizure after seeing blood, calmed down at my words and looked at his fingers.
“But spitting…what does this mean! Comrade Chun-Oh! Aren’t my fingers tasteless?! … Now, how about this time!”
Lee Ji-su sprinkled the sauce on his finger on the table and held it out again.
I couldn’t stand the stupid look and put my head on Lee Ji-soo.
“Ahhh!!! Why are you hitting me?! Comrade Aiden, is that the way you like it?! I’m fine! Hit me more!
Lee Ji-soo, who was holding her head and crying, opened her chest and shouted.
“Hey! What if a grown-up wife shows her breasts outside!”
Kiana, who was next to him, hurriedly stopped Lee Ji-soo.
“Heng! Are you envious of my firm and plump breasts?! Cliff Girl!”
“I made it clear that I have a big chest. It’s just ignorantly big.”
“What~? I can’t hear well because I have small breasts- Ebebe.”
“this person!!”
In the end, Kiana couldn’t stand it and banged Lee Ji-soo’s head on it.
“Ouch!”
Lee Ji-soo grabbed her head and banged her head on the table.
“Wow-.”
Chun-oh picked up something again and spit it out.
“This cliff girl hit me!! Comrade Aiden!!”
Lee Ji-soo, whose eyes were full of tears, looked at me and shouted.
“This… this is a priest, so…”
Realizing her actions, Kiana blushed and hurriedly waved her hands.
The surroundings kept messing with my head.
***
Although it was ferocious, we were able to get to Ansu-seong safely.
‘The priest seems to be fine now, so I’ll go back to the Imperial Army. Master must have joined as well.’
Kiana broke up with us before reaching Ansuseong.
Hagin, it was funny to see the nobles of the Empire join the Revolutionary Corps of the Republic.
Even Kiana was a duke.
To me, Kiana was like insurance, so it would have been nice to go with him, but he didn’t stop me from going.
‘Cause I’m no longer a jerk anyway.
An Suseong had a completely different atmosphere from when I left.
There were more people roaming the castle than before, and most of them were armed.
The buildings also changed from the dull gray of the past to a bright color.
A man I met at the castle gate recognized me and guided me to my introspection.
Just as the other buildings had changed, the resistance had also changed.
The lower part of the resistance was painted red like blood.
From a distance, it looked quite plausible, but up close it was a hideous figure.
When painting, it was painted with the shape of a hand as if it was painted with the palm of the hand.
I could feel the resolute will of the revolutionary corps from that look, but…
When someone who didn’t know saw it, it was just a bunch of tired palms stamped on it.
If you were a tourist, you might wonder if it was the castle where the Demon King resided.
We were ushered into the hall of introspection.
Last time I was there, there was a horse devil, but now it is full of people.
As we entered the hall, the noisy hall became quiet.
What is this familiar atmosphere?
Suddenly, I remembered the days of the Hero Academy.
clap clap!
After a brief silence, loud applause filled the hall.
I don’t know why people applaud, but I smiled and waved.
“Oh oh oh oh!! Finally my true worth..!! I am the revolution!”
Excited by the applause, Lee Ji-soo made a strange noise and then bent her knees and stretched out her arms to one side.
Cheon-oh, who was next to him, secretly imitated Lee Ji-soo’s ridiculous posture.
Two men on either side of me stretched out their arms strangely.
The applause paused for a moment at the ugly appearance, and then continued in haste.
“It was hard.”
A familiar middle-aged man walked out among the crowd.
He was the adoptive father of Seo-ah whom I saw at the time. His name was Jihoon Kim.
Behind him stood Seoyoon, who was full of impressions.
When I gently waved my hand, Seoyoon’s face became even more distorted.
It’s thick, but there’s no need to look hateful.
I thought of Seo-ah’s luxurious buttocks and put on a gentle expression.
“I’m really glad you came back safely.”
Kim Ji-hoon, who had frowned slightly at me, smiled again and held out his hand.
I smiled and held Kim Ji-hoon’s hand.
Kim Ji-hoon suddenly gave strength to the hands he held, and I reflexively gave him more strength.
“Ugh-. Such a rude… Haha! Yes, come this way.”
Jihoon Kim let go of my hand with a small smirk.
Kim Ji-hoon, who changed to a smiling face again, took me inside.
Inside the hall, a man was sitting on a chair.
The man with a beard on his face was wearing dark black sunglasses.
He wore a strange helmet on his head.
At first glance, he was no ordinary person.
More extraordinary than anyone else… No, he just seemed like an asshole.
But if that beard and sunglasses were the same, even Abby wouldn’t recognize it.
“I am called Aiden of the Revolutionary Corps. This time, I blocked the romantic prosecutor alone so that the Revolutionary Corps could escape safely from the capital.”
Kim Ji-hoon pointed at me and introduced me to the man.
“Large-. Ah! Nice to meet you! My name is Kim Doo-hwan! He’s a loyal man who stayed behind to save his colleagues! I like it!”
The man deliberately lowered his voice and said.
So, is this man in the succession rank?
“Haha! It is a warrior’s duty to risk his or her life for his comrades. It’s not a big deal.”
As soon as I knew the man’s location, a muffled sound came out of my mouth.
“He’s a man I really like. He’s a man among men! I like wearing two women next to me! As a matter of fact, if you’re a man, you have a woman on each hand and on each foot… Anyway! I’m so glad you, who are full of loyalty, came back alive. yes.”
The man smiled warmly and raised his hand.
“Come on, let’s put down our headaches for now and let’s all enjoy our hero’s return!”
“I enjoyed yesterday. Stop enjoying it now…”
“Corruption calls for heroes! Come on, tell me! Uden! Are you ready to be a hero?!”
Kim Ji-hoon quietly stopped the man, but the man grabbed my shoulder and raised his voice even more.
A strong smell of alcohol wafted from the man close by.
“Are you ready to be a hero?”
What the f*ck are you talking about, you furry.
“Yes! Hero! Ah- what a sweet sound this is.”
I saw boredom in the eyes of people looking at the man.
“Come on, everyone, grab your cup! Ah- there’s no cup here. It’s a boring place. If you don’t have a cup, just bring it in! Loyal friend there!! Bring me a cup!”
The man staggered and shouted loudly.
But no one in the hall moved.
“Um, was my voice low? Come on! Come on, get a cup to protect your loyalty…!”
puck-
Jihoon Kim struck the man in the back with a blunt club.
The man took a deep breath and fell forward.
I didn’t want to touch the hairy man, so I didn’t catch the man who fell.
At that, the furry man sarcastically fell to the ground.
“Haha. Anyway, welcome back. That person will tell you where to stay. Take a break for now, and I’ll call you again tomorrow.”
Jihoon Kim let out a sly smile and put the man back on the chair.
“Uh-huh- of-rei…”
The man’s sunglasses were crooked.
“Hu- Then, back to the original state- The Imperial Army’s troops…”
And the meeting went on again as if they were used to it.
f*ck this…
Jinyoung I think I made the wrong choice?
***
It was the next day that Jihoon Kim called me.
“Um… I’m sorry that I couldn’t see you yesterday.”
Kim Ji-hoon sat down at the spacious desk and turned over the papers.
“Oh, it could be. Who doesn’t want to crack the back of the head of their superiors?”
Okay, let’s just think of it as a free-spirited, young group.
If you think of it as a non-response group, you only regret joining in for nothing.
It’s also my dream to hit a crazy old man with a sword.
“Hmmm.. Kim Doo-hwan is a good person. But- he likes alcohol too much, so it’s a problem.”
Jihoon Kim scratched the cheek with his finger.
“It smelled like alcohol.”
“Yes. If we hadn’t stopped there, we would have held another banquet. We can’t afford to do that now, right before the war.”
Shhh- Kim Ji-hoon signed the document and said.
“War?”
It was too heavy a word to say lightly.
“I’m going to join the Imperial Army soon. If I borrow the power of the Imperial Army, the Empire will interfere in the future, but for now, there is no way. Because we are too weak to clash with the Republicans.”
But unlike me, Jihoon Kim spoke lightly and handed over the documents.
“Ummm… Is there even going to be a war?”
“Then how did you know how to make a revolution?”
“I thought it would be over if the bad guys hung up and Kim Ik-han or something like that.”
“It’s not that simple. Of course, blown off the neck would make things easier.”
At my words, Jihoon Kim muttered while sweeping his chin.
“I was taught at the academy that war is bad.”
It was stuffy, as if there was a thorn in his throat.
“Is that only it? Demons, famine, cowardice, murder, extortion, and assault are all bad things. “
Jihoon Kim put down his pen and looked at me with sunken eyes.
Those cold eyes hurried me to answer.
“I heard it and it is.”
It wasn’t my job anyway.
There is no reason for me to stop them from fighting each other.
I nodded, thinking that it would be better for my side to win if possible.
“Yes. There’s nothing complicated about it. When the swords and violence each wield are gathered, that’s war.
After speaking, Kim Ji-hoon looked down at the paperwork again.
Kim Ji-hoon wrote something on the paper and then looked up again.
“You should take care of Kim Doo-hwan’s bodyguard.”
“A security guard? I’ve never done anything protecting others.”
I didn’t want to keep the drunken hairy man.
I’d rather fight the devil.
Ugh, the thought of having to hang out with a man was terrifying.
“He is our cause. Without him, the revolution itself cannot exist. Probably, the Republican Party will also aim for him. Now that Kim Min-cheol is gone, you are the strongest in our revolutionary corps, so I want you to take charge of his bodyguard. .”
Jihoon Kim continued to speak with an impression on my reaction.
“Um… a little bit of a man though.”
I don’t want to leave the furry one, though.
I smell alcohol too.
“If you’re in charge of security, I’ll assign Lee Ji-soo as well. As you know… Lee Ji-soo is also a member of the revolutionaries.”
Kim Ji-hoon’s eyes sank a little deeper.
“And revolutions always bleed.”
Even though he is a stepfather with a luxurious ass, I didn’t like this bastard.
“I’ll do it. f*ck you.”
Unknowingly, I let go of the sword handle I was holding and answered.
“Please refrain from swearing. But I’m your boss.”
Kim Ji-hoon nodded his head as if he knew it, and turned his gaze back to the paperwork.
f*cking bastard.
“Ah- I’m done talking, so let’s go.”
Jihoon Kim waved his hand as if it was bothering him.
Seeing that, I had to do my best to block my hand from reaching the sword handle.
Thinking of the sister rice bowl, I forced myself to catch my breath.
***
Even though she was in the tent, Seo-ah’s mind was far away from the constant screams from outside.
Of course, Seo Ah had come to expect war and made up her mind, but her thoughts and reality were completely different.
At this moment, even at this moment, my hands trembled as I thought that hundreds of lives were disappearing.
“Huh? Tea doesn’t suit your palate? Eat a little bit. Will you even care about the taste on the battlefield? I don’t care.”
Kate asked, looking at Seo-ah who was shaking.
Seo-ah choked on the faint screams and couldn’t answer.
“Uh-huh? Is your concubine chewing the truth again? Is this less educated?”
Kate, who rolled up her sleeves, ran to Seo-ah and ripped her ass.
However, Kate kicked her tongue out at Seo-ah’s unusual reaction and fell.
“What is this. This uninteresting reaction.”
Kate stabbed Seo-ah in the cheek.
“…how can you be okay?”
Seo-ah kept pressing Mei’s neck to speak.
“What’s wrong? Ah- that one?”
Kate asked, pointing a finger outside.
Seo-ah nodded her head slightly.
“You didn’t come to us to do that, did you?”
Kate asked, tilting her head.
“That…but-“
A shaky answer came out of Seo-ah’s mouth.
“How did he grow up to be so handsome that he dropped his body like this? Have you never been to war?”
Kate narrowed her eyes and spoke again.
‘Who’s going to start a war!’
Seo-ah was furious at Kate’s words, but trembled at the truth contained therein.
“War is the most lucrative business for empires, because in reality empires are made of war.”
“…business?”
“Yes. Business. After the Continental War, their strength has weakened, and they are now looking for justifications, but in the past, if it looked even a little appetizing, they just attacked it. It’s no different from a savage.
Kate picked up a cookie and ate it.
“Even so, people’s lives depend on it, but it’s a business…”
Seo-ah rolled her eyes.
“Do you know what the first thing the imperial family is teaching their descendants?”
Kate continued, wiping the crumbs off her hands.
“…what is it?”
Seo-ah didn’t want to hear it, but she was curious.
“The value of human life is different. Of course, this is a story about the legitimacy of the imperial family, but I think it is true to some extent.”
It was an obvious story made to support the identity system.
Seo-ah trembled slightly at Kate’s unhesitating words.
I forgot about the frivolous act, but the opponent was the imperial princess.
The way of thinking was bound to be different from that of ordinary people.
“As they say, the values of nobles and commoners are different- it’s not like that. Each person has a different value for the person who is important to them.”
Turning her hand, Kate took a sip of the still steaming tea.
“So to me, one person is worth more than everyone out there. Although I don’t have much love for the Empire in the first place-…”
Kate twirled her index finger and raised the corners of her lips.
Seo-ah was speechless for a moment and stared at her finger.
“So this war is a natural deal for me. It’s nothing.”
Kate weighed her hands and lowered one deep.
As if there was a heavy weight there.
Seo-ah was more afraid of Kate, who smiled at her, than the horse devil she had seen at Ansu-seong.
