Chapter 253: To the Baldur Region
3 days later, after Kwak Jung left the Valhalla Kingdom with the army in tow . . .
Vilhelm . . . he’ll probably trust Kwak Jun for the time being .
Having woken up, Kang Chul-In’s head was spinning busily .
“Stop with the bulls.h.i.+t, Akan . ”
<< . . . >>
“Do you think that I, the Supreme King of the West, Kang Chul-In, will apologize to trash like that?”
<
>
“And that’s not the end of it . I won’t plead in front of you, the self-proclaimed G.o.d’s lapdog . ”
<
>
“I would never do anything like that . ”
Kang Chul-In didn’t surrender .
Rather, he irritated Akan more, and the result was that he was injured just enough to avoid dying .
“It hurts like h.e.l.l . Ow!”
However, instead of being angry, Kang Chul-In was having the time of his life .
An act .
Making the mess at the Lords’ Meeting was enough to trick Vilhelm completely .
It would be rude of Vilhelm if he didn’t fall for it since Kang Chul-In risked his life to put on that act .
How could Vilhelm find out about this conspiracy unless Kwak Jun stabbed Kang Chul-In in the back?
As long as Vilhelm didn’t suspect anything, the effects of the act would continue for a while .
And . . .
I was right .
Kang Chul-In was able to learn something .
It was that the Erinyes system didn’t kill rank number one .
Akan should’ve killed me under normal circ.u.mstances, but he didn’t . I was right . As long as it’s not something like murder, making a commotion like that . . .
The reason why Kang Chul-In caused the commotion was to trick Vilhelm, but also because he was confident that Akan wouldn’t kill him .
This great force, the Erinyes system, was made a thousand years ago for a specific reason .
Such a system wouldn’t kill the highest ranker just because a rule was broken . From the beginning, Kang Chul-In was an existence full of the Emperor of Blood and Iron’s schemes anyway .
“Y-your Majesty!”
Alfred, who had entered the VVIP room to use Blood Heal, was greatly taken aback seeing Kang Chul-In moving .
“Oh, you’re here?”
“Your Majesty! What’s so funny!? Can you laugh in the state you’re in? Hm?”
Alfred shouted in anger .
“I thought you changed, but what am I supposed to do if you cause something like that! I wasn’t able to sleep thinking of how the great Majesty ended up like . . . ”
“O-Ow . . . ”
“ . . . !”
“Alfred… I’m tired . . . ”
“ . . . Your Majesty . ”
“I… should sleep . . . ”
“ . . . ”
“Hmhm . . . ”
Right before the nagging was about to start, Kang Chul-In slowly turned around making pained noises .
It was because he knew all too well that if he didn’t do this, Alfred’s nagging would be enough to destroy his eardrums .
“Ahem . . . !”
Alfred grumbled .
“You’re quite clever, aren’t you, sir?”
“Hmhm . . . ”
“Are you gonna be like this again? Sir?”
“I’m sleepy . . . ”
“ . . . ”
“Hmhm… Why does it seem like you’re even more sly than before?”
“It’s because I’m old . ”
“Is that something you can say in front of me?”
“Hmhm . ”
“Goodness . ”
Alfred ended up being forced to calm his boiling emotions down .
He knew that when Kang Chul-In was in that sly mode, there was no point to his nagging .
“Anyways . ”
Kang Chul-In changed the subject .
“Did you deliver my orders?”
“Are you doubting me? Humph!”
Alfred responded sharply . It seemed he was quite upset .
“I delivered them reallllllly well, your Majesty . ”
“ . . . ”
“Of course I did~ . What would it matter to you what this oldie is concerned about?”
“ . . . ”
“Whew… but I still hope you’re careful . It hasn’t even been that long since you married . You’re not planning on making her Majesties into widows, are you?”
“Of course not . ”
Kang Chul-In shook his head .
“I intended everything and it was all set up . Think of it as a tactical scam to trick Vilhelm . I didn’t end up like this because I was on a rampage . ”
“If you say so… I won’t nag anymore . ”
Alfred nodded .
Kang Chul-In wasn’t just a dumb brute .
Although he sometimes created messes he couldn’t fix when he was furious, he was a Lord to be proud of when he set up strategies that no one would’ve been able to think of .
Knock knock .
While Alfred was thinking those thoughts, someone knocked on the door .
“Husband . . . ”
It was Lee Chae-rin .
“Come in . ”
“Are you alright?”
Lee Chae-rin looked haggard . It seemed like she hadn’t got any sleep worrying about him .
“Of course . I’ll probably have to rest a few more days, but the physician said there’s nothing to worry about . ”
Kang Chul-In glanced at Alfred .
Blood Heal .
This healing technique was the reason why Kang Chul-In could throw himself into trouble without any worry .
“Humph!”
Alfred left with a snort . It was true that he was upset, but he also left so the two could be alone .
“Husband . . . ”
“Why do you look like you’re going to cry?”
“Why did you do that…? Heuk heuk, I… was really surprised, heuk . . . ”
“It was set up . ”
“Still! How can you make someone worry this much, heuk…?”
“Everything’s fine . ”
Kang Chul-In wiped the beads of tears around Lee Chae-rin’s eyes off .
“Didn’t I promise? I won’t die . ”
“ . . . Humph . ”
“Come here . ”
Kang Chul-In pulled Lee Chae-rin to the bed .
“Oh my!”
Lee Chae-rin was taken aback .
“H-Husband . . . !”
She was on top of Kang Chul-In .
“I-It’s embarra.s.sing!”
“So what?”
Kang Chul-In smirked .
“This is my personal room, and no one can enter without my permission . ”
“B-But!”
“We’re a married couple . Who would say anything about us being in this position?”
“Heung . . . ”
“You’re even prettier when I see you from below . ”
“W-Whatever!”
It was cringy, but Kang Chul-In was being 100% genuine .
Lee Chae-rin was really beautiful .
If Ninetails had the beauty of a k.u.miho, Lee Chae-rin perfectly fit the standards of a Korean beauty . Elegant and soft .
“We haven’t . . . ”
Kang Chul-In opened his mouth .
“T-That’s!”
“Sorry . I was too busy . ”
He was talking about how he hadn’t slept with her yet .
“Heung . . . ”
Lee Chae-rin grumbled .
“Did you like Unnie’s arms that much? So much that you didn’t want to leave?”
“That’s not it . ”
“Sure!”
“I was thinking about you . But the time…”
“That’s an excuse!”
“It’s really not . ”
Kang Chul-In firmly denied it .
“I was always thinking about you . If I wasn’t busy, I would’ve slept with you a long time ago . ”
“R-Really . . . ?”
“Of course . Also, I have to leave for a while because something came up . ”
“What?”
Lee Chae-rin’s eyes widened .
“It’s to draw the big picture . There’s nothing I can do about it . But it’s something I have to do . ”
“I see . . . ”
“So before I leave, I want to spend a good time with you . I’m being sincere . ”
Kang Chul-In wrapped his arm around Lee Chae-rin’s toned waist .
“Huk!”
“Lee Chae-rin . ”
“Y-Yes?”
“I love you . ”
“ . . . !”
“Heup…!”
What followed after was a deep kiss .
It happened inside the VVIP hospital room that only Kang Chul-In could use .
“Heuk, heung . . . h-husband… heung… y-you can’t!”
Lee Chae-rin struggled against him .
“You don’t… want to?”
Kang Chul-In was fl.u.s.tered at her unexpected rejection, but . . .
“That’s not it!”
It seemed like that wasn’t the case .
“You’re hurt . ”
“I’m alright . ”
“For at least two days, you should be taking it easy!”
“But . . . ”
“J-Just stay still . . . ”
“ . . . !”
“I-I’ll . . I’ll . . . ”
Lee Chae-rin muttered with her head down . She couldn’t lift her face from the embarra.s.sment .
“ . . . Since I’m older . ”
“ . . . !”
“Since you’re… hurt . . . !”
Swoos.h.!.+
Lee Chae-rin began to take off Kang Chul-In’s hospital clothes .
This kind of situation was awesome for Kang Chul-In .
And because she was on top of him, it was easier for her to move .
Lee Chae-rin!
Kang Chul-In didn’t resist .
To deny her when she was being this forward? That was rude .
If he treated the courage of the woman who loved him like that, he didn’t deserve that love . Wouldn’t Lee Chae-rin have some pride of her own?
Kang Chul-In didn’t have any reason to deny her because he loved her, too .
Some time pa.s.sed .
s.h.i.+ft .
Lee Chae-rin’s hand was at Kang Chul-In’s “true form” .
“Huk!”
She lifted her head quick as lightning .
Blooooop!
The symbol of a true man was there .
“H-Husband, how…?”
Lee Chae-rin was speechless .
This is it! This was why Unnie was bedridden!
Lee Chae-rin realized why Ninetails had stayed inside her bed for an entire week .
***
The next morning .
“Then, I’ll be back . ”
Kang Chul-In secretly left the Valhalla Kingdom .
“Stay safe, Husband!”
“Come back safely, your Majesty . ”
Ninetails and Skadi saw Kang Chul-In out .
Lee Chae-rin… wasn’t there .
It was because she had been lying sick in bed since making love with Kang Chul-In .
“But Husband,” Ninetails asked . “Where are you going?”
“I’m going to Dorian’s territory . ”
“That means . . . ”
“We’re planning on shaking up their rear . ”
“Aha!”
Yes .
While Kwak Jung was leading the army, Kang Chul-In was going to carry out small tasks like a.s.sasination and terror with Dorian .
Also, if he had the chance, he was planning on taking Rothchild’s last life to finish his revenge .
It’s now time to have your head .
***
Meanwhile at the same time in Seoul, South Korea, at some elementary school in Seocho . . .
“Hing . . . ”
Arsh.e.l.ly’s footsteps didn’t have any bounce as she returned home from school . This was because her father had been bedridden right after the second Lords’ Meeting .
“Hing… Father . . . I hope he gets better soon… No, let’s not worry! Butler Alfred is taking care of father well, so he’ll definitely get better soon!”
She clenched her fists .
Always Kang Chul-In .
The lovable princess’ head was only filled with thoughts about her dad, her dad, and even more of her dad .
All the boys at her school experienced the bitter taste of first love as they sent her candy, chocolate, and puppies[1] .
Unfortunately, she didn’t know that Kang Chul-In was on his way to the Baldur region .
“I should return quickly and greet father!”
Arsh.e.l.ly picked up her pace .
Cras.h.!.+
Until she b.u.mped into someone at the end of the hallway .
“Ow!”
Arsh.e.l.ly shouted adorably, having hit her b.u.t.t on the floor .
“Oh my!”
The person who b.u.mped into her spoke in surprise .
“Are you alright?”
“I’m fine!”
Arsh.e.l.ly jumped up with a bright voice . This was nothing for a brave princess .
“I should’ve looked where I was going, sorry . . . ”
Just as she was trying to apologize first like the kind princess she was, her words trailed away .
Thump,
Thump thump-!
Her heart started to beat faster .
“M-Mom . . . ?”
A voice filled with longing escaped her throat .
[1] !?
