31 – Leonhard’s Nation – 8
“hahahahaha! That’s right! I wanted to see the embarrassing expression of the princess, but it’s a pity.”
“Your Majesty…Even so, wouldn’t it be a big problem after the Imperial Princess Iondae?”
“It’s done. If there are no problems with the princess’ body, she won’t be able to protest much from the side of the empire. Above all, it’s hard to take care of it because it’s an act committed by someone outside the kingdom. Kuhehehe ..”
The Beast King laughed heartily with a very happy expression. It was because the chief chamberlain reported the trouble between Irina and Gaon through the lady-in-waiting earlier.
“By the way… I’m sure the envoys won’t approach that earthling? The princess knows how to distinguish between public life and life.”
“100% Sure. I’m sure he’ll try to contact you somehow.”
“Then what should I do? If I follow the Empire…”
“It doesn’t matter.”
“Yes?”
The King of Beasts smiled and answered the chief chamberlain’s stupid question.
“Anyway, he’s not a vessel we can hold onto. The same goes for the empire, isn’t he ‘destined’ to live somewhere tied up?”
“..I see…”
Knowing the very special ‘ability’ of the Beast King, the Chief Chamberlain quietly affirmed the Beast King’s words.
“I’d rather go. If I keep living in the kingdom of beasts, won’t Ellie get married sooner than I expected?”
“……………..”
Today too, the love of the king of beasts was special.
*****
-Kiehehehe!!!
“Get out of the way.”
Kwajik-!
“Looks like the fire has been put out now.”
Veronica looked around her as she brushed off an unknown black liquid from her own sword, Tyr Bing.
People around me ask, ‘Is this really a living thing?’ Jet-black monsters with bizarre shapes that reminded me of the question of ” were corpses and collapsed.
“Where is such a servant? To be a ‘Prime Minister’ who directly kills the assassins who want to harm the ‘King’… Is an act that does not fit his position.”
Veronica clicked her tongue and pressed her shoe against the corpse of a black monster with characteristics halfway between liquid and solid.
“Anyway, at least this much can destroy a country…How many more are they willing to come out?”
Veronica let out a sigh as she looked at the gap in the dimension connected to the other world that lay far away.
“The ‘King’ must proceed quickly.”
With those words, Veronica turned into black smoke and disappeared far into the sky.
****
A day has already passed since Irina and I had a very slight trouble(?).
I honestly thought that Irina would bring her whole delegation and she would give a damn, but the situation did not come what I expected. Rather….
“You are there.”
“Brother.”
“…Oh…Brother…Is there…”
Irina came to my room alone. She was not even accompanied by escort knights and attendants.
“Okay, what happened?”
I asked Irina, who was knocking on her door, slightly opening her door and looking at it. Then she said Irina blushed and she answered me.
“That… I have something to tell you, so I came to you myself… Could you open the door for me?”
“What…Yes.”
Anyway, I didn’t have any ill feelings toward Irina, so I just opened the door to welcome Irina.
“Sit anywhere.”
“Thank you for the favor.”
Irina sat on one of the chairs in her room and looked at me. Still, as if she was proving that she was the princess of the empire, the most powerful country in her own way, her eyes looking at me were venomous.
“Can’t you relax your eyes?”
“Ah…Sorry…”
Of course, when I yelled at him, he immediately panicked and rolled his eyes.
“So, what do you want to say?”
“For now, one for you…”
“Brother.”
“…I have a question for you.”
“What is it?”
I listened to Irina in silence as I drank the apple juice left behind by her exclusive maid.
“Okay, you… No, is your brother belonging to the Beast King?”
“…? Belong? Me?”
For a moment, the image of the king of beasts laughing connivingly while restraining me with chains made him feel dirty. BL, and BL with a man over 50 years old… The apple juice I drank at the moment almost came out of my stomach.
“…That kind of taste?”
“Ah..No! I didn’t mean that! The intent of my question was to ask if my brother signed a binding contract with the Beast King!”
“A binding contract? You don’t know about that?”
Irina sighed in relief when she answered Irina with the question mark floating above her head.
“I see…Don’t you know about the attribution contract, by the way?”
“What is that?”
“There is no contract on Earth, but in this world there is a contract that can forcibly bind mana. Most countries make a mana contract to make the people of another world obey.”
“Ohh…But isn’t that an unfair contract?”
“Fire…What?”
“No.”
Irina didn’t seem to know the meaning of the word unfair contract. Although it is an expression that actually exists on Earth, it may be an unfamiliar word in a different world where there is a caste system.
“Anyway, my brother…No, if your brother hasn’t made a mana contract with the beast country, do you have any intention of coming to the empire?”
“…Empire?”
A sudden scout offer? By the way, do you remember what happened yesterday?
“Why?”
“No…I wanted to make a scout offer after being treated like that yesterday.”
“Oops…That…That and this are different..!”
Irina shouted at me with her face blushing. Why are you overreacting so much?
“Hmm… I don’t like it.”
“Heh …. I thought that would be true. But the story will be different if you listen to her words.”
“Okay, try talking.”
Let’s see where it goes.
“First of all, you are a special earthling. That’s why I won’t ask for general loyalty. Rather, I’ll guarantee you an equal position with the original girl.”
“Oh…”
Isn’t it said that Irina is the highest-ranking princess of the empire, excluding the emperor and empress? She said that she treated herself and me as equals… This was clearly a tempting proposition.
“Secondly, I will help you grow. You are currently level 41. Up to level 60, where growth is blocked, you will be able to achieve it through training in our empire.”
“Uh…Well…”
This was a bit off. In fact, it was because I was able to work hard if I wanted to. All I had to do was endure my PTSD and go to the Labyrinth of the Abyss. If you do well there, you can raise more than 2 levels in a day.
“Third, I will take care of all your conveniences. She will take care of all the conveniences that the original woman can provide.”
“Oh yes.”
Anyway, I’m already comfortably enough to play and eat in Suinguk, so why bother?
Irina was a little taken aback by my sullen expression and said the following condition.
“Fourth, I will entrust the disposition of the earthlings under my command to you.”
“Oh? Do you have any Earthlings under your direct control?”
“Yes. It’s a small number of 3 people, but it’s not as bad as talent. Of course you… No, it’s a terrible level compared to your brother… For reference, there are 2 Earthlings who use similar last names to your brother. There is.”
“Ohhh! Really? What’s your name?”
Isn’t that similar to my last name, meaning that I’m Korean? To be honest, it was a bit disappointing that there were no Koreans among the earthlings in the country of water people.
But are there real Koreans in the Empire?
“The names are Lee Seo-jun and Lee Seo-yoon, and Lee Seo-yoon is a woman. Lee Seo-jun is…”
“…Wait the f*ck. What?”
Did I just hear wrong? Who?
“Have you not heard? Lee Seo-joon and Lee Seo-yoon.”
‘Crazy, could it be that I know Lee Seo-joon and Lee Seo-yoon?’
At that moment, the contents of the message I shared with my best friend Lee Seo-joon before I was brought to another world came to mind.
-Bular Friend: Yes, I really thought there would be something, so I sent the link to the other kids too. Oh, I also sent it to Seoyoon.
-Me: Are you crazy?
Lee Seo-joon said that he had sent a link to Lee Seo-yoon as well. In other words, it is said that Lee Seo-joon, who was said to have pressed the button, would have almost certainly been dragged in, and there is a high probability that Lee Seo-yoon, who received the link, would have been transferred as well.
There is a possibility that they are the same person, but the probability is slim. How many Koreans would find the site and click the questionable button?
“What’s going on? That…No brother. You’re breaking out in a cold sweat.”
“…Good.”
“…? What is that?”
“I’m going to the empire with you. Instead, I won’t write a contract. I’m going for a short tour.”
“That…Is that true?”
“So what?”
Actually, originally, I had no intention of going to the Empire. But I thought I should check if the Lee Seo-yoon and Lee Seo-joon I knew were really in the empire.
Especially Lee Seo-yoon. Since she wasn’t a woman with a strong enough mentality to survive in another world, I had to make sure that she was the real one.
“But I’m just following people from my hometown because I’m curious about them. If I cheat, they’ll search for me?”
“Ah.. Got it…”
Irina trembled in shock at my murderous words. She said, but for some reason, Irina’s face is red.
“So, when are we going to the Empire?”
“Originally, I was going to stay for about a week… But for you, I’ll ask you to prepare to depart in three days. From what I’ve heard, it seems that it’s difficult to subdue the demon army.”
“Okay. Let’s go then.”
I motioned for Irina to go and sat down on her bed. However, Irina’s appearance was a little strange.
She was sitting still in her chair, looking at me with moist eyes, as if she were asking for something, even though I clearly signaled for her to leave. The appearance was a bit strange, so I was embarrassed and asked Irina.
“What…What…?”
“I’m sorry… I don’t know… It’s just… Every time I call you brother, my body heats up a little…”
What the f*ck? Were you originally such a character? Where did the princess who was cold when I first saw her go?
“It’s the first time I’ve felt like this… I feel like I’m being controlled by my brother… My body heats up…”
“That…Wouldn’t it be okay if I went to my room and rested?”
“No… Rather, these symptoms get worse when I’m alone in the room…”
No f*ck, maybe you like this damn princess? Now you see, she was just a pervert who liked being bullied, right?
“Maybe you… No oh…”
From noble mtl dot com
“No, that’s it! That’s it, stop calling me oppa! Just call me you!”
“But…My brother must be…”
“It’s okay, you crazy b*tch!”
How come neither Veronica nor Irina have normal women around me? Oh, there’s Ellie.
Looking at it now, she looks like a fairy. Ellie…
“Ah.. Got it…”
Irina agreed with my words with an expression of regret.
To think that the princess of the empire is also M…I’m very worried about the future of the empire?
“Then let’s go back to the room. Oppa.”
“Don’t call me brother…”
It must be my mistake to see Irina’s mischievous smile for a moment, right?
