210 – 41. Kim Ha-neul and Kim Ha-neul
Anyway, there was only one conclusion.
I can no longer watch this incident quietly.
“What are the movements on Orkel’s side?”
“There wasn’t anything in particular. Since you don’t seem to know the relationship between me and Namgoong Min, I’m guessing you’re just out of luck.”
“But she will move soon. Princess Kim Ha-neul…”
“We have already departed for the Korean Empire. We will arrive before morning this morning.”
“Orkel cannot do anything once he enters the Korean Empire. He will definitely try to deal with it before then.”
From Noble mtl dot com
Kim Ha-neul is returning home not even on a private plane, but on a small helicopter.
It is said that they forcibly took the injured workers with them, so they must have tried to reach the Korean Empire as quickly as possible.
Can the Orkel and Andrew families shoot down the helicopter above the open sea?
‘If that were possible, we would have sent someone more capable to the takeoff field from the beginning.’
The raiders sent by Orkel were those who could be eliminated along the Kim Woo-sung line.
Of course, I’m not saying that Kim Woo-sung is weak, but in the end, he’s just an academy student. If a proper assassin or job holder had been mobilized, even Kim Woo-sung would have been able to do something.
In the end, that is the limit of the Andrew family.
Now I needed to dig into the point a little more.
“…Why now?”
“Yes?”
“The fight between the emperor and the prince already happened several months ago. But it’s not like there’s been an incident recently that could cause the emperor’s power to return. Why did Kim Ha-neul apply to withdraw from school at this time?”
“That’s because a letter from the emperor has arrived…”
“Why did the emperor send the letter now? As I said before, the timing is strange. Even if he is trying to make a comeback by attracting the princess Kim Ha-neul, there is no reason why it has to be this timing.”
If anything, there was a better time. Just recently, when I went to the middle of a dream to catch the principal.
At that time, Kim Seong-il also followed, so if you look at the timing, that would have been the most appropriate time.
Why did I send the letter now?
“Hmm… Isn’t it because preparations are over?”
“Ready?”
“As you said, if the Emperor is looking for another opportunity, the best time is when His Highness the Crown Prince is in a dream. So, didn’t you prepare something at that time and send the letter now?”
“……………….”
It is not wrong. But still, questions remain.
“Then shouldn’t you have sent a letter to Princess Kim Ha-neul at that time?”
“Couldn’t Kim Ha-neul have received it at that time and he has left now?”
“…No, wait a minute.”
“Yes?”
“In the first place… The emperor, who is under strict surveillance, is sending a letter? That too to the Romance Academy?”
If it is within the Korean Empire, it may be possible to really do something by exerting the influence of the emperor who still remains.
But this is a floating city in the middle of Pacific Ocean. This is also where Kim Seong-il is staying.
The already defeated emperor secretly sends a letter to Kim Ha-neul, who Kim Seong-il is watching, without even Kim Seong-il knowing?
Is that possible?
“That means…”
“…I was going to go anyway, but since things have turned out this way, I’d better go right now.”
Kim Seong-il.
He must know something.
It is dawn now, but Kim Ha-neul must wait until tomorrow morning after she arrives in the Korean Empire. Even at the risk of being rude, Kim Seong-il now──
“He’s not there.”
“…Yes?”
“You went on a business trip.”
──When I went to visit, I was shut out at the door.
Do you know who I am? You are friends with the prince!
…… Even if I try to use , the aide who firmly blocks me already knows my face.
And yet you answer like this.
“…Where did you go?”
“I’m sorry, His Majesty the Crown Prince told me to keep it a secret from Namgoong Min, even if no one else knows…”
“Oh my.”
Did you really go on a business trip? At this timing?
This is ‘him’ Kim Seong-il. Of course, I didn’t go on a business trip without thinking……
‘…… No, rather, was this what you were aiming for?’
You’re going to take advantage of Kim Seong-il’s business trip somewhere and send a letter to get Kim Ha-neul out?
“Crazy.”
If that’s true── the emperor’s closest aide, who knows all of Kim Seong-il’s schedule, has betrayed him and stuck with him.
Seongil, just like last time, manage your subordinates properly……
“…Okay. I’ll just go back now…”
“Our Min!”
“Uh, galaxy?”
I was about to return to the base, but a very familiar voice came from behind the iron gate blocked by my aide.
The aide, who seemed to have sensed something, hurriedly blocked the iron gate, but the black-haired princess easily climbed over the fence and landed on the other side of her, as if a gate was a luxury.
…… No, it’s a royal family-only residence, so the fence is over 5 meters high? I get over this easily.
Eunha, with a bright smile, seemed to have just woken up and was wearing pajamas.
“My Min! What’s going on this early in the morning? Did you really come to see me??”
“Uh, Eunha? Are you in pajamas?”
“What does it matter? We’ll see each other a lot in the future.”
“Yes?”
“The Korean Empire and our people are inseparable, right? After graduation, I will ‘absolutely’ come to the Korean Empire, and if I stay at the Imperial Palace, you will often see me in my pajamas.”
“Ah…Eunha? Two people froze because Eunha suddenly appeared.”
“Yes?”
Only then did Eunha look around, not at me.
What catches my eye is one aide with a rigid posture.
And there was one Kim Woo-sung who had already put his head on the ground.
Eunha, who they both looked at alternately, looked back at me and smiled.
“There’s no one there?”
“Yes?”
“There’s no one…?”
Kkeak, ta-dat!
Only then did the aide come to his senses and quickly open the iron door, go inside with Kim Woo-sung and immediately close it.
…… There are really only two left.
“My Min, it’s fate that we met like this. Should we go for a night walk? Don’t worry! I’ve walked in my pajamas several times on the royal family-only trail.”
“It’s a truly honorable offer, but I’ll leave it for another time. Eunha, I have some important work to do right now. So──”
“Are you saying that Kim Ha-neul dropped out?”
“──Did you know?”
“Of course. Now that my brother is away on a business trip, I am the one managing the Romance Academy. It is even more difficult to know that one of the collateral royal family members submitted a withdrawal application 1 hour and 16 minutes ago.”
“Eunha, she wasn’t just expelled. She received a letter from the emperor…”
“What does it matter?”
“…………Yes?”
“Min, min, our min.”
Eunha hugs me.
Soft, warm.
Very…… Intensely.
“I’m so proud of Min. I can’t believe he worked so hard for the Korean Empire and for me. I’m so happy that I feel like I’m flying.”
“Uh, Eunha? Princess?”
“But… My Min has already done everything he had to do, right? My Min helped my brother win and brought back my true self. I already owe my Min a very big debt. A really big debt… “
“……………….”
“So, leave this matter to me. We, Min, can just go back to the base and carry on as usual. After a few days, everything will be neatly resolved.”
“…Galaxy.”
“If you don’t want to go back to base, spend the night with me. I’m confident you’ll have a really… Enjoyable night.”
“……………….”
“My people?”
“…I understand.”
“Are you saying you want to have a good night?”
“No, no. It means that I will return to base calmly!”
“It’s a shame. Oh, if it’s Kim Woo-sung, I’ll let you stay here today, so don’t worry.”
“Thank you, Eunha.”
“What? Between us.”
*
“What do you think?”
“This pale blood’s ears were so dark that I couldn’t hear the princess’s words properly!”
“Oh, of course it is if you stick your head in it. Don’t unravel, just listen again… What do you think?”
“……………….”
“Do you need more time?”
“…I, Namgoong Min, will definitely head to the Korean Empire!”
“Well, as expected, his wit is a passing grade. That’s right. If it was our people I knew, he would definitely go to the Korean Empire. Because he was that kind of person. Because he was that kind of person, he was saved.”
“……………….”
“Is there no answer?”
“Woman, you are Namgoong Min’s wife! You know your husband better than anyone else!”
“I’m starting to like your insight more and more. Then…Get ready.”
“Yes…?”
“Wherever the husband goes, of course the wife must follow, right? I’ll take a look at what you just didn’t understand, so please arrange for a private plane.”
“I understand!!”
“My support is… Difficult.”
*
“Thank you, Mr. Liu.”
“b*tch, what’s between us? Take care of yourselves.”
“Mr. Liu…Are you going to stay?”
“Why? Does it feel awkward for me to obediently let you go?”
“A little…”
“This is funny… Mr., I scolded you last time. I’ll be like a wife waiting for her husband to come home from work, so don’t get hurt.”
“Mr. Liu…….”
“You look touched.”
Is our Rio such a cool and wonderful person?
After parting ways with Eunha, she pretended to go to the base and went to Liu to ask for her, and a private plane was readily available.
Honestly, I was worried that Liu would follow suit, but after the last stock incident, Liu showed that he completely trusted me…… Only.
‘…… ‘My hands and feet are shaking so much.’
Amman, but there is no way that personality will go anywhere.
He is smiling on the outside, but just by looking at him, you can see that he is suppressing it somehow and holding himself back.
If I keep going like this, I probably won’t be able to sleep well today.
That’s right, whatever.
“Mr. Liu, please.”
“Huh? What?”
“GPS. It’s hard for me to get to a wiretap, and there’s no problem with location information, so please give it to me. Give me one.”
“……Really?”
“It’s better than having Mr. Liu stay here and be anxious. If this can give Mr. Liu some peace of mind.”
“I’ll give it to you! I’ll give it to you right away! Don’t worry! There is no eavesdropping function and it is a high-performance GPS…!!”
And anyway…… If it’s Rio, it seems like he’s always stalking me or recording me.
Due to my poor physical ability, I have never noticed being followed or monitored, but it just seems like that for some reason.
I felt much more comfortable just receiving one outright since I was going to be monitored without my knowledge.
Thanks to that, Rio was also smiling brightly.
“Now, take this!”
“Is this GPS?”
“Of course! Oh, if you’re in danger, press the button inside. Then…”
“Then?”
“……The siren goes off! Yes, you can call for help!”
“Aha.”
This is quite a convenient item.
I put the GPS I received from Liu in my inner pocket, bowed my head, expressed my gratitude, and immediately boarded the private plane.
I would like to talk more, but time is of the essence right now.
Still.
“Mr. Liu!”
“Huh?”
“It will arrive soon, so please wait! Thank you for trusting us!”
“…If it’s too late, I’ll come find you, so come quickly, you fortune teller.”
I think that is sincere.
After seeing off Rio, I left my body on the flying private plane.
‘Kim Ha-neul said he went by helicopter, so he will definitely be able to arrive first.’
To be honest, I don’t have much interest in Kim Ha-neul.
There is an emperor behind him, and since his purpose is still unknown, the best way is to go and check in person.
If only the emperor can definitely tie the knot, the day of using the key to the developer’s room will get closer.
‘Something…….’
I feel like I’m getting closer and closer to the end.
Very…… It was a strange feeling.
*
Korean Empire Imperial Castle.
In the past it was an office, but now it has become a prison.
The emperor quietly recited.
“You still talk a lot.”
＜…… Is that so?＞
“It’s obvious they’re aiming at the same time.”
Tap.
I quietly walk around the darkened office.
Whispering words that may sound like the mutterings of a madman.
“The principal’s behavior has become ridiculous. Being trapped in a dream for the rest of his life.”
“It’s even more ridiculous that she said that she was the only one who could save her. Why didn’t you take her out? No… To be exact, you took her out for a long time. It’s a problem because you took out something else.”
“Does that opportunity include that disgusting black color? By the way… The arbitrator couldn’t believe it happened. The principal must have gone crazy too.”
“Anyway, the value of these consuls is only that much. If it ends up being her sacrifice for her, I won’t mind.”
“You’re ridiculous. The principal, the Pope, and I… The former god is the master of whispering about the future to insignificant people.”
＜……… ….＞
“I remember originally saying it would take longer, but was that fortune teller that annoying?”
＜…………….＞
“Tsk, tsk, what happened at the Tower of Proof… Well, I can roughly guess it.”
The fortuneteller who collaborated with his son to defeat him.
The emperor smiled vaguely, knowing full well how arrogant and capable that bastard was.
The former god who was defeated by him was funny, but he must have laughed at himself for being in a no different situation.
But the emperor did not care much.
It was certainly painful to be pulled down from his position, but his purpose was not frustrated.
“Okay, now that I’ve got the ‘body’, it’s my turn next.”
＜…… Don’t forget the deal.＞
“Of course. I need your help too.”
The time has come.
From the emperor’s point of view, he wanted to be more cautious, but now he no longer had the power.
So, I used everything I had left to create this last opportunity.
Failure, or success.
I didn’t even want to think about the former, but I knew deep down that the former was more likely.
The emperor approached the hidden space of his office.
I took out the skull that had been carefully stored away.
“Sky…”
It was really long, but now.
The end was getting closer.
