Episode 115
This is my granddaughter!
I didn’t think much of it until I heard that the Dark Lord had come looking for me.
Just speculation about whether or not they will praise or question what was shown in the video.
I had already thought of the answer to all of this, so I wasn’t particularly worried.
The same goes for the ghosts, who were rather noisy with useless arguments among themselves.
“You are not the new religious leader who must establish a new religion in the future! So, of course, an engagement with a prestigious family of Baekdo is impossible!”
“Before considering their affiliation, you should consider their status! She is the granddaughter of the Dark Lord! Have you ever thought about how much help it would be if we formed a blood alliance?”
I feel like I’ve seen this debate before.
Why do I feel uneasy?
“We must not forget our roots! Roots! Those in the Central Plains are our enemies! We must destroy them at all costs!!”
“Hey, how annoying! What kind of world is this that you’re still talking about roots?”
“What!?”
“Please think about our situation! They are our long-time enemies, but if we have to start from the bottom, the Tang family will be a very good foundation. Are you saying that you are going to kick it away?”
“Oh! But our roots are Cheonsan! Cheonsan was a paradise for those who were rejected by the world! But carrying them on our backs is absolutely impossible-“
“Ah, is it because it was such a wonderful paradise that we got hit again? After all, we are the ones from the Kundae era who don’t know anything about reality.”
“Gondae? What the heck is that? The old Gondae generation… This, this guy!!”
“Huh? You just figured it out now?”
“This kid!”
“Since you’re the same age, don’t do that. It makes the listener feel bad.”
“What the heck!?”
Today too, the two camps’ arguments continued on parallel lines.
The ghosts who did not participate in the debate continued to tell realistic stories.
“The relationship between the Dark Lord and the Gwangpungnanhyeop is no different from that between a crocodile and a crocodile bird. If we consider it from that perspective, the sudden declaration of breakup by the leader of the small cult, who is actually ‘Dangunhui’, is absurd.”
“There is a great concern that not only the position we have built up within the clan, but even our future activities in the Sacheon martial arts world will be completely blocked.”
“It is said that the Dark Lord has a personality that is hard to grasp, but I wonder if he would just sit back and watch a mere blood relative smear his face.”
Certainly, the marriage between me and Dang Ye-won will be able to lead to a stronger bond within the party.
Perhaps it would be of great help to my plan to make the Tang family and, by extension, the Meng family, mine.
Because Cheonjibonghwang Dang Yewon is considered to be the closest to the position of successor to the Dark Lord.
So, I could have just closed my eyes and gone ahead with the wedding, but after much thought, I concluded that this wasn’t right.
Both rationally and emotionally.
“Still, I think it would be better to postpone the marriage decision as much as possible.”
“I agree. The more choices the better!”
“In that sense, the excuse of having a lover in mind is probably not an easy one to touch.”
“As expected, the cult leader’s tricks reach the heavens!!”
The ghosts who had been fighting fiercely with each other until just a moment ago had now all become cuckoos and were busy supporting me.
Anyway, these people are really busy, doing this and that.
However, there was one thing that could correct their misconception.
‘You think it’s a trick? Not at all?’
“Huh?”
“…yes?”
‘It’s not a trick. I mean it.’
「!!」
“Are you, are you, are you saying that I, I, I, really have this, …
‘uh.’
“omg!”
“Wh-when on earth-“
“Well, as far as we know, the young cult leader has definitely never been in a relationship-“
“Well, then, you’re saying that you had a lover after reincarnation? But how could you have a lover when we’re always by the leader’s side?”
“Oh, do you like the couple in the picture that’s popular among young people these days?”
‘What are you doing? You don’t make ghost pills these days, so life is really fun, right?’
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
The ghosts quickly fell face down on the floor.
“May I ask when exactly you got a lover?”
I just kept my mouth shut without saying anything.
Because I didn’t really want to mention this part.
… In fact, if we really think about it, it’s not so much a lover who has confirmed his feelings for each other as it is just my one-sided favor.
The ghosts were unable to say anything else and just quietly rolled their eyes.
* * *
And now, as time passes and we enter the war of Nanhyeop.
I was walking along the trail at the back of the manor with Amjon.
The walking path was quiet, perhaps because news of a dark zone passing by had been heard.
‘Why on earth did you call me?’
Amjon walked ahead leisurely, concentrating only on admiring the blades of grass and not saying much.
As someone who followed him silently from behind, it was quite difficult for me not to know what he was thinking.
Isn’t he a gentleman whose thoughts are very hard to guess?
I was actually nervous because I didn’t know what kind of weird thing he was going to do next.
“It seems like this author finds it amusing that the young cult leader is fidgeting.”

“The faint smile on your lips seems to indicate that you are having so much fun with this situation…?”
If that’s really the case, I’d be a bit annoyed.
“How is it that you have a side that is very similar to the leader of a religious sect when it comes to scratching people’s hearts… Heek!”
What’s new?
As I was glaring at the ghost who was talking nonsense with sharp eyes, the Dark Lord suddenly opened his mouth.
“Haha! It must be so frustrating when you ask someone to go for a walk together and they don’t say anything. I also don’t know what that weirdo is up to.”
I felt a sting, but I tried my best not to show it.
“No. I thought you might be organizing what you wanted to say in your head.”
“really?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“I don’t think so?”
“no.”
“It’s not that it’s not true. It’s written all over your face.”
If it’s not a double negative, then what the heck is a triple negative?
“I have never thought of such disrespect since I was born.”
“It feels so awkward to hear you say something about blasphemy.”
“… … .”
“Aren’t we just the two of us? So just quietly tell me. You were pissed, weren’t you?”
What is the relationship between us?
“Absolutely not.”
“really?”
“yes.”
“Really, really, really?”
“I’m really, really serious about this.”
“I don’t think so?”
“… … .”
Oh, this guy really pisses me off, he keeps nitpicking and nit-picking!
“Hehehe. You’re pissed. You’re pissed.”
“…no.”
“One of your eyebrows twitched? You can never avoid my sharp eyes once you’re on the Ark.”
“It looks like you were lacking nutrients. It was just a small muscle cramp.”
“Hahahaha. Okay. Let’s leave it like that.”
“… … .”
Just one.
I really want to hit you just once!!
This gentleman, is this his personality? He’s really good at making people sick, he’s really good at it.
“Actually, the reason I looked into you was to see if you were a good candidate for my granddaughter’s son-in-law.”
After hearing that, I came to my senses as if I had been doused with ice water.
The dark spirit smiled mischievously.
“You knew, didn’t you? I thought Hosan wouldn’t have told you until now.”
“Yes, well… I just happened to find out.”
“What do you think? How do you feel about meeting your fiancée after such a long time? Isn’t she pretty?”
“It’s pretty… It was a bit boring.”
“It’s not just pretty! It’s not called the best flower in Sacheon for nothing!”
“Was there a nickname like that?”
“Huh? You didn’t know?”
“Yes. I’m not really interested in that kind of thing.”
“How can someone so young be so uninterested in the opposite s*x! And she’s your fiancée! Of course you should know!”
“… … .”
“Why does your face look a bit shaky?”
“… No. I will correct that.”
“Yes. That’s right. And do you know how great his personality is? He always grumbles about how he hates that mischievous old man, but he’s always so cute when he’s right next to me and babbles about this and that.”
“… … .”
“How talented is she? At that age, she’s the head of the Green Zone Corps. People ask if she’s getting special treatment because she’s my granddaughter, but that’s nonsense! Is Green Zone Corps really that easygoing? Even if she’s my direct subordinate, they’re rebels who won’t listen to anything they don’t like. The child that those guys acknowledge is my granddaughter, that’s it!”
“… … .”
“furthermore-“
I felt like a booger was going to land on my ear at this rate.
This guy pretended to be cool in front of people, but it turned out he was just a fool for his granddaughter.
“But you want to take my beautiful granddaughter away? Not until I get dirt in my eyes!”
I never said I would take you?
I thought it turned out well.
If you use this as an excuse to call off the engagement-
“But, well, still.”
Amjon looked me up and down, resting his chin on his hand.
It was almost like evaluating an item.
“His face is also half and half. His martial arts skills are also quite good. At this level, hmm! This might not be bad.”
“… … .”
“But if you start talking nonsense before we even have a formal wedding… you know? It’s not fun.”
Darkness opened his eyes with a very evil look and briefly raised his poisonous hand that was glowing with green light.
“But if you grow up to be a man and get scared and turn your back on me, I will be very disappointed.”
… I wish you would just do one of the two, just one.
I pressed my throbbing temple with my index finger.
I felt like if I didn’t clear up the misunderstanding here in advance, I would continue to be harassed by this gentleman for a long time.
“… Are you thinking of telling me that you have no intention of marrying my granddaughter?”
‘Oh. Is that so?’
“Oh, no! Absolutely not!”
“This is a big problem!”
The ghosts knelt down and grabbed my trouser legs.
‘What the big deal?’
“Isn’t he a weirdo whose love for his granddaughter is so extreme that it’s so twisted that tormenting her is his hobby? He’s the kind of guy who thinks his granddaughter is the prettiest, kindest, and most honest in the world!”
“But imagine if that granddaughter suddenly got dumped! I wonder how she would react!!”
Is that… is that how it is?
I’m just saying let’s think about it again?
Well, if you explain it clearly enough, it will be fine-
“If you think that the reason and logic of a sectarian like this will work on a gentleman like this, you are mistaken!!”
……shit.
I glanced at the dark zone.
His wide-open eyes were filled with madness.
He was full of murderous intent, ready to immediately slash anyone who spoke nonsense.
So isn’t it difficult for me to speak up like this?
Still, we have to figure this out somehow.
Then suddenly, one of the things that Amjon had said earlier flashed through my mind.
“Your Majesty, may I ask you one thing?”
“What? If you say anything like there’s another woman or something like that, you’ll be buried right here.”
“… … .”
“Is that really true? Do you really want to die?”
“Oh, no. That kind of thing.”
“I don’t like the stutter-like little brat. Anyway. So then?”
“What you said a little while ago.”
“A little while ago?”
“You said that you thought the Lord of Bunga wouldn’t tell me about the engagement.”
“Oh, that.”
“Could you please tell me exactly what you mean?”
“Why are you curious about that?”
“… Isn’t taking a wife a matter of human relations? I thought that I should be even more careful about that. And above all-”
I trailed off for a moment and then continued speaking slowly.
“I am an illegitimate child even among the collateral line. Even though the head of the branch family was famous and was the right-hand man of the head of the family when he was young, that doesn’t change my origins. Rather, I wonder why I was chosen when I would have been more suitable as the daughter of the Yewon clan, who is the maternal cousin of the Namgung clan. If there was some kind of political deal, I would like to think about it again from the beginning.”
“… … .”
The dark zone was plunged into silence.
Fortunately, my trick seemed to work.
“Oh, I think that kind of excuse would work.”
“Even if the party is one that does not distinguish between the s*xes and is based on ability, it is impossible for there to be no differences in status.”
Even if Amjon and Danghosan actively push for it, if I continue to delay the marriage using my status as an excuse, the Senate will rise up in revolt.
Because Dang Ye-won was not simply a tool for blood alliance, but a true heir among the legitimate heirs who could become the next head of the family.
Surely there will be many among the pure-blooded people who will not like me.
So I was trying to open the floodgates in that direction, but for some reason, the gaze of the Dark Lord looking at me was not very kind.
“… I guess you’re not particularly interested in this marriage either.”
However, such small tricks did not seem to have any effect on the dark lord who had countless strategic calculations running through his head.
He saw right through me.
So, as I was feeling wary about how to deal with the dark side of the world, one word caught my ear.
You too?
Does this mean that even Dang Ye-won, apart from me, is not interested in this marriage?
As expected.
“I guess the relationship between a man and a woman isn’t something that happens unconditionally just because the adults want it to happen.”
For the first time, loneliness appeared at the corner of Amjon’s mouth.
The reincarnation demon temple
