Chapter 161
Elizabeth Windsor(3)
After retiring from the ‘Organization’, David took Chevalier’s hand and became a naturalized French citizen.
There were a few colleagues who had doubts about his retirement, but he sent Tyler back, so it won’t be a big deal.
David, a naturalized French citizen, headed to Avignon, France.
It had no other purpose. I just wanted to repent.
He thought that the stains left on his body would be better visible only when he went to the brightest place.
And Avignon was a city enough to capture the heart of David, who was wandering around looking for a place to settle down.
David and the young Chevalier settled in Avignon.
And did David’s sincerity work?
Fortunately, with the help of a pastor, I was able to enter the path of faith.
David thought that only the light was left.

France – Paris ＜Charles de Gaulle International Airport＞.
“Hey~ You’re a super popular star, star. I don’t know if this is France or Korea. Isn’t that right, Ambassador?”
After taking a step back from the crowd at the arrival gate, a woman in a blue uniform blew a light whistle, “Wheeik~” and turned her head toward the Asian man sitting next to her.
She was obviously in a solemn atmosphere, dressed up in uniform at the airport, but her eyes seemed to be looking at an interesting sight.
“Isn’t it all self-inflicted back home, Captain Blanche? In Korea, information was clearly controlled and processed so that only the superiors in your country could know about it.”
A gray-haired, gray-haired middle-aged man answered quietly, turning his eyes to the question of a female soldier called Blanche.
“Oh my God, would you have imagined that some idiot would leak important information that a Korean master is visiting France?”
“It’s hard to come out like that. It was intentionally spilled in order to weave Geum Taeyang and Chevalier sheep back home.”
“Uh, am I innocent? I didn’t spill it, so it’s no use complaining to me, right?”
At the ambassador’s reply, Captain Blanche shrugged.
‘Is it a war of nerves already?’
In the eyes of the Korean ambassador to France, the woman had an epaulette, meaning captain, on her shoulder.
The ambassador thought that the mark located next to the epaulet stood out more than the rank.
[French Aerospace Forces – Ministry of Intelligence.]
That belongs to Captain Blanche.
The ambassador could not let go of the string of tension because it showed France’s intention to openly put in the ‘military’.
‘It must be that the French side wants to take the initiative while Golden Sun is staying in France.’
Humming a song, browsing social media, ‘Ambassador, look at this! Miss Chevalier and Taeyang Geum’s entry into the country today are number one in search terms?! hahahaha!’ The laughing captain had his weak spots, but that was only a superficial appearance.
Recalling that he belonged to the ‘French Aerospace Forces Intelligence Division’, which competes for first and second place in Western Europe along with the British intelligence department, the meaning of each action of the captain could be seen.
‘The fierce appearance must be to lower the vigilance of others, and there was some kind of deal between the Korean and French governments that they directly stepped out of the Aerospace Forces?’
chamberlain.
After confirming that Korea’s top-notch awakening person is a person who can be controlled by taking the initiative instead of going wild in France, they want to stab him in relation to recruitment.
In the case of securing a new recruit for the British princess, do you want to shoulder the risk together with Korea and exercise your influence freely from the pressure of neighboring countries?
or neither.
‘In Northeast Asia, where there is no proper alliance, I want to completely tie Korea into an alliance at this opportunity. I guess… … ‘
The ambassador turned his gaze and looked forward again.
In front of him, a crowd of people, holding French and Korean flags in their hands, were eagerly waiting for ‘when will my love come’.
‘Japan is completely leaning on the British side, so France has a body too. It’s absurd that there exists a being who can induce people’s emotions to this extent with just a few pieces of information that can at best be turned into dating rumors.’
The ambassador shuddered at the prestige that a single girl had in France.
Of course, Chevalier paid for the name of a saint here, but along with that, the perception of the golden sun as a duke on the French side was too good in the field.
I don’t know in Korea, but the image of Golden Sun spreading in France right now is ‘the young master of the allies who voluntarily came out to escort the saintess on her way home’ itself.
In a way, it can be said that the propaganda effect of the French intelligence department was too good.
Even in the overheated situation, the ambassador is working harder than ever to figure out the intentions of the French side, but only guidelines from Korea.
‘Completely cooperate with Geum Taeyang as long as it does not harm the country’
It’s just one word… … .
It was impossible for the ambassador’s hair to last without falling out.
The emergence of capable people through awakening completely destroyed the existing international order.
The time has come when firepower alone cannot solve all problems.
No matter how much the United States, which has a history of only 400 years at most, focuses on talent development, it cannot exert the same influence as before with only the artifacts stored in museums – the materials for weapons.
Naturally, there was a power vacuum, and there were countries that took that place.
During the era of imperialism, called ‘barbarism wrapped in faith’, the empires that carried artifacts from all over the world to their home countries.
Western European countries, led by Britain, France and Italy, raised their heads again.
Scholars have called this era ‘new imperialism’.
A powerful country armed with mighty weapons connects its awakened people to easily sell their armed forces abroad.
And in return, they receive relics as if robbing them from the country that requested help.
Countries deprived of relics eventually lose their national power, and experience difficulties in producing weapons for the Awakened. Then again ask for help from the great powers.
It is a vicious cycle repeating itself.
‘If five hundred years ago was barbarism wrapped in faith, now it is barbarism wrapped in mystery and history.’
The ambassador thought so.
Korea has been lucky in that respect.
If there is a ruined great power nearby, I just want to enjoy that privilege.
How much Russia’s blood was sucked around the annexed Maritime Province.
Even the ‘Blonde blue-eyed Korean Thunder Emperor’ appeared.
Literally, from the perspective of neighboring countries, there were situations that could not be laughed at.
If it had not been for the fall of Russia, Korea would have had to keep an eye on the situation in which artifacts were taken out.
It is an era of infinite mercy for the strong.
On the one hand, there is a lot of talk about this, but what can I do, it has been a long time since Korea has already digested the relics of Russia and entered the ranks of the great powers.
Unless it was a country like Korea that benefited greatly from Russia’s downfall, it would be difficult to newly join the ranks of the modern powers.
And France was eager to expand its influence in Asia by making Korea a partner somehow.
“uh? There he comes!”
The airport was turned upside down by someone suddenly throwing a word.
It started with a roaring roar. What followed was whistles, screams, cheers, and all sorts of noises that filled the huge airport.
It was hidden from view by the crowd, but the ambassador could easily imagine it.
Golden Sun and Chevalier must have entered through the gate.
Even Captain Blanche next to me said, ‘What? I should take a picture too! I have to monopolize it!’ Hahn ran out.
“… … It was obviously an operation that should have been carried out in secret.”
The ambassador felt dizzy at the recent sight.
* * *
I barely escaped the airport full of welcome crowds.
“Geum Taeyang, welcome to France.”
After introducing herself as Captain Blanche, a female soldier greeted me in fluent Korean, holding out her hand.
Unlike his loose face, his palms are hard with calluses.
Originally, it was easiest to know what kind of life a person had lived by looking at their hands.
Since he has rough and rough hands, he must not be a person who went through a lot of hardship and neglected self-discipline.
It’s not enough to send soldiers, so it’s a person like this… … .
If you get into an accident here, are you going straight to the French brothel?
“Again, are you thinking strangely? This is not Korea, so don’t even think about buying and hitting like you did at the awards ceremony.”
“… … no it’s not.”
Do you think your expression shows because you are worrying for nothing?
Chevalier rolled her eyes at me. It was truly a ghostly intuition.
Captain Blanche, who was staring at Chevalier with me, brightened her eyes.
‘crazy? what kind of eyes… … ?!’
“Do you two look good?”
He was obviously a young female soldier, but from her eyes, I got the impression of a middle-aged man wearing only a ragged running shirt and loose-fitting pants.
Continuing to deal with this lady is harmful to mental health.
ok let’s work
“So, did you two come purely to meet you? Aren’t you here for work?”
“Sheesh-.”
I turned my gaze to the Korean ambassador next to me, fearing that I would be swayed by her smirking eyes.
Chevalier probably had the same thoughts as me, so she immediately turned her attention to the Korean ambassador.
Only Captain Blanche clicked his tongue lightly as if regretting it.
“Oh, Taeyang-kun, don’t worry. I’ll tell you that part right away, so let’s get in the car first.”
‘Slurreuk’ I got on the limousine that was approaching as if I was slipping how much money I had paid for it. It was the kind that was completely blocked off from the front compartment by a partition.
“First of all, Taeyang Geum, I welcome you once again with the ambassador to visit France. Didn’t Miss Chevalier have any inconveniences in returning home?”
“Yeah, nothing was that hard.”
“Well, it wasn’t that hard for me either.”
Inside the limousine, which started smoothly, it was Captain Blanche who got lucky first.
Chevalier replied with a light smile, and I nodded too.
The power of magic engineering shortened the journey of half a circle around the earth to less than 3 hours at most, so it couldn’t be difficult.
“ruler! Now then, let’s move on to the real business.”
The ambassador clapped and opened the limousine mouth, and Captain Blanche placed his suitcase-like bag on the small glass table in the middle.
“Taeyang-gun, if you need something during your stay in France, such as lodging or daily necessities, I will provide everything with all my abilities.”
I listened carefully to the ambassador’s words. Blanche took over the words of the ambassador.
“It is the same for our French side. There was an agreement that this operation was a joint venture between France and Korea, so we have an obligation to provide whatever is needed.”
“whatever?”
When I asked back, she replied with a wink in her eyes.
“Yes, whatever. Unfortunately, I can’t.”
“… … .”
I have nothing to say. Is this human okay?
When the captain opened the suitcase, the map of France appeared as a three-dimensional hologram at the level of our chests.
“Basically, all operational rights will be based on on-site judgment, but in order to proceed with the operation or whatever, we must first determine the location of our princess, right? According to the predictions of our military intelligence… … .”
“excuse me… … .”
“Yes, Miss Chevalier? Please feel free to speak.”
Chevalier, who had been staring at the map of the whole country, pointed at one place with a long, thin index finger.
On top of the rugged mountain that was embodied in the north, there was a place name written in blue letters.
-Avignon.
say.
“Here, can you go to Avignon?”
“uh… … . wait a minute? Do you think Miss Chevalier will participate right away?”
At Captain Blanche’s words, Chevalier quietly closed his eyes and then woke up.
Her eyes shone brighter than ever.
“You know what’s going on between me and Miss Elizabeth, but isn’t that why you called me like this? Or did you just call me to watch from behind?”
Captain Blanche and Chevalier made eye contact, and eventually, Captain Blanche nodded and answered with his smile erased.
“That’s true, but you are fully responsible for the on-site responsibility that arises from it. There are other reasons as well, but our military came to the fore to cover themselves with mud instead of the name of a saint if necessary. Please answer carefully with this in mind. The title of ‘saint’ is not unique to you.”
“does not matter. No, I must see Elizabeth’s face again. she is there So please go to Avignon.”
I stared blankly at Chevalier’s confident face.
It was unexpected that she came out so aggressively in all aspects, from the shining eyes to the firmly closed lips.
“If this is the saintess’ will, our army will cooperate unconditionally.”
The limousine that picked us up turned toward Avignon.
