Episode 559
I know.
She always shined.
And beyond that light, there lies such great darkness.
I knew it.
I called her this.
‘Your Majesty.’
She had long spiral horns on her head and practiced every day.
Every time I called, she stopped practicing and looked at me.
And he said with a smile.
‘Why are you doing that?’
The way he spoke was just like his mother’s speech.
It was similar, but I know.
That was her effort to resemble her mother’s way of speaking.
The Cell Milos I knew, no, the Dragon Lord, was that kind of person.
‘Aren’t you having a hard time?’
When asked like that, she answered like this.
‘There is nothing more difficult than holding on to a chain that cannot be broken.’
I said it again.
‘If you were to break that chain by force, wouldn’t it be more difficult than holding it?’
The Dragon Lord answered.
‘Still, we have to cut it off.’
‘I would like to ask why.’
‘Because it has to be cut off.’
‘… … .’
‘I know how one person’s greed can turn the world into chaos. I’ve experienced it firsthand and seen it with my own eyes. Sometimes that greed can turn into something positive, but it’s a very small minority.’
‘You’re talking about my father, right?’
‘okay.’
I asked seriously.
‘Won’t you regret it?’
She also answered seriously.
‘I don’t.’
As she said that, she turned around. Our eyes met.
‘I don’t want to do it.’
The sincerity was fully conveyed.

She and I met several times.
I have always been curious, so I have asked the Dragon Lord many questions, so the conversation that followed was not awkward at all. She asked.
‘I thought you said there was something you wanted to learn. Is that right?’
‘yes.’
She asked for more details.
‘You said you wanted to learn the language.’
‘yes.’
‘Is that feeling still the same?’
I said firmly.
‘Yes, it’s still the same.’
She smiled brightly.
Looks like I found something to do.
It was a smile that seemed to indicate that she had found a new meaning in life. At least that’s what I felt.
‘Then from today on, call me Master.’
He smiled brightly.
I don’t know how long it’s been since I smiled so brightly as a child.
‘Yes, Master.’
It happened when I was 8 years old.
* * *
I slowly opened my eyes.
This was the shabby lodging that Inspector Jeong Woo-yeong had guided us to.
The first thing I saw was the ceiling. I started laughing as soon as I saw it.
My father always said,
That the most important turning point in your life will come to you too.
And that turning point can come at an expected moment or in an unexpected situation.
Whenever it comes, act on your intuition.
When that turning point comes, don’t miss it and use it as an opportunity.
My father taught me that.
He emphasized the importance of responsibility and even more so the importance of keeping promises.
Furthermore, he emphasized connections with people.
He left behind words telling us to clearly understand the favor and resentment in that relationship and decide how to act and what course of action to take based on that.
My mother was very different from my father.

‘You will meet a woman you like in your life. It doesn’t matter if she is young or old. It doesn’t matter if she is a noble or a commoner. Just that.’
It was just the following that was important.
‘Don’t regret it.’

regret.
My father and mother always emphasized it.
‘A woman who you can love enough to give your all to will do. If she is like that, we will never object.’
Besides that, we talked about many other things, had many questions and answers, and learned many things.
I have no intention of denying it.
I grew up receiving a lot of love.
It was such a great love that I felt like it was a burden. I wanted to repay that love.
Before I could repay it, I just found it first.
right.
I just found it.
A woman I would like to dedicate my whole life to.
I slowly got up from my seat.
It’s not that I can’t distinguish between public and private life. As I said before, I learned from my father how important responsibility is.
I learned it to the point where it was ingrained in my ears.
I didn’t mean to dislike it.
I just wanted to talk about how responsibility is the driving force in my life.
I changed my clothes.
This is the Eastern Continent.
Even though he is an inspector of the Milos Empire, since his area of activity is the Eastern Continent, it would be better for him to wear the Eastern Continent’s clothing.
I put on the black long coat I had bought on my way here and black shoes.
It is not a complete Eastern Continent costume. It should be said to be a mixture of Western Continent costume and Western Continent costume.
After lightly washing my body with magic, I tied my hair back.
Then he reached out.
Quasi-snap.
The air tore open and my hand went straight into it.
After waving my hands around for a while, I picked up the first thing that came into my hand.
It was glasses.
I just opened the door and went out.
On the other side, Inspector Jeong Woo-yeong smiles brightly.
“That’s amazing.”
“What do you mean?”
“I never thought a person’s impression could change so quickly.”
He asked with a smile.
“How do I look? What do I look like now?”
“You look intelligent and sharp. You seem like the Inspector himself. I would like to learn from you. Are those glasses you are wearing that were personally made by His Majesty for the visually impaired in the Western Continent?”

“you’re right.”
Jung Woo-young nodded.
Then he said to me.
“Let’s go. I will guide you.”
Let me say this again, I am the inspector general.
The inspector general must inspect.
I’m not going to drink, I’m going to inspect.
He walked forward with a smile.
* * *
There are several martial arts families in the Cheonhasung and Sacheon regions.
Those who heard the story of patrolman Jeong Woo-yeong gathered at Chwiwolru.
The number wasn’t that large. Just six people.
But since he was a person with a name, the people around him were a bit noisy.
“Daehyeop, I have heard the rumors. It is an honor to meet you.”
The man called Daehyeop was Gwangsowang, the head of the Gwangwonse family in Sacheon. He was quite famous in Sacheon for having beaten up several lechers who had been raping women in collusion with demons.
He, with his angular face, smiled gently.
“What about glory? And I am not a great swordsman, I am just an ordinary warrior. So please refrain from excessive courtesy.”
Next to him, whose speech was full of fundamentals, was a woman with a very strange smile.
She was the only female-only sect leader in Sacheon, and her nickname was Wolnyeogeom.
The name is Jeong Seol-ran.
Her reputation was quite different from that of the mad king who was called the Great Swordsman.
She was neither a member of the political party nor of the opposition party, and maintained strict neutrality.
So the two entered the Chwiwolru and were able to see inside.
There were four men in total.
The head of the Sacheonpyo clan, the head of the Jinju clan, the head of the Mosan clan, and so on.
Raymond Beck, Chief Inspector General of the Heavenly City.
The funny thing is that the man sitting at the very top was Beck.
And they all thought it was nothing.
Rather, I thought it was natural.
Everyone sat down.
They exchanged light greetings and talked about what was going on inside Cheonha Castle.
That was when.
The closed sliding door opens.
Everyone was momentarily startled by the sight of Melon wearing glasses.
The atmosphere was so different from what I expected.

And that was for a moment.
He is a new inspector general. At first, he is full of enthusiasm and confidence that he can do anything.
I didn’t think much of it.
Melon said.
“Nice to meet you. I am Melon, newly appointed to the Cheonhaseong Inspection Office.”
Starting with that greeting, Melon naturally melted into the place.
“I am well aware of the great reputation of the Great Swordsman.”
“Oh, is that so?”
“Yes. While leading the huge organization called Gwangwonse, you single-handedly went around eradicating s*x offenders. It is definitely an achievement that deserves respect and that everyone should emulate. Thanks to the Great Swordsman, s*x offenders are unable to run rampant in Sacheon, so it is clear that the Great Swordsman’s presence carries great weight in Sacheon.”
King Gwangso, the head of the Gwangwon family, felt happy.
That guy named Melon, he’s a pretty decent guy.
It was natural to think that way.
Melon then spoke to Jeong Seol-ran, the princess of the Wolnyeomun.
“Wolnyeomun, the reputation of that group is well-known even in the Academy. I also learned that it is a family that is the successor to the Amipa, a prestigious sect that existed in the past. Is that correct?”
For those who belong to the political party, the Amipa is an unapproachable group.
The Amipa was a sect comprised solely of women, and it enjoyed its heyday and produced many world-class figures.
No matter how big the world is, it is only the four heavens within it.
He even divided the four thousand into five.
This means that there are four more regions similar to Jeongwangbu.
Even in such a royal family, the Wolnyeomun is only a second or third level family. Can you compare such a family to the legendary Amipa?
That in itself is an honor.
Jeong Seol-ran felt good.
“Oh my, how cool is it that our new inspector speaks like this?”
Everyone could tell that with just those words, he had developed a liking for Melon.
He even poured me a drink, so this is beyond words.
The same was true for the other four families.
Only two people looked at Melon with meaningful expressions.
The two were Inspector General Beck and Patrolman Jeong Woo-yeong.
Beck thought.
‘That guy, he’s quite the worldly savvy.’
Jung Woo-young was a little different.
‘If we do this well, we can bring them to our side without any complications.’
The position of inspector general is a very special one.
As briefly mentioned earlier, the Inspector General is an independent agency.
As an independent investigative agency, it can conduct investigations and enforce sentences on its own.

It would have been nice to see him as having omnipotent power.
At least here in the Eastern Continent, it is true that they have absolute power.
Because there is the Milos Empire behind it.
Beck said.
“Come to think of it, I forgot to ask you this earlier, but how do you feel about coming to Cheonhaseong?”
Melon smiled brightly.
“I feel very good. There are so many wonderful people, the food is great, and most of all.”
Melon’s hand tapped the glass.
“The alcohol is delicious. Doesn’t delicious alcohol mean this is a good place?”
“Is that how it is?”
“Yes. Someone I respect said that.”
Since you are someone I respect… … .
“I would like to ask who that is, can you tell me?”
Melon said, as if there was nothing he couldn’t do.
“This is my father.”
“Father… … . I see.”
Beck didn’t intend to ask at length. Only a lowlife would reveal too much from the beginning.
There is only one thing that is important.
I still like melon.
I had a feeling that he wouldn’t do anything out of the ordinary and wouldn’t cause any trouble. So I quietly poured myself a drink.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, this time it was Inspector Jeong Woo-yeong who opened his mouth.
“I would like to become friends with the new inspector general.”
“Oh, is that so?”
“Yes. I felt it from the first time I saw you, but you are so tall.”
Melon burst into laughter.
Not only Melon, but everyone around her burst into laughter.
It was a drinking party with a good atmosphere.
That was exactly the case up to this point.
Melon’s subsequent words froze the drinking party.
“I have a question for you. Could you please answer it?”
“I’ll answer any questions you have.”
Melon said to Jeong Woo-young.
“Graduated with honors from the 16th Milos Academy Swordsmanship Department. Talented in both magic and swordsmanship. A person who could reach the level of Master if he continued to work hard. Very confident and good at relating to friends. Age 19. Age of death 19. Hanged himself in the duty room while investigating the Gwangmyeong family’s destruction incident.”
It was quiet.
It was such a silence that it was hard to believe that this was a drinking party where people had been laughing and chatting just a moment ago.
Advertisements
Melon quietly reached out and drank the glass that was already full.
His two eyes look straight at the bewildered Jung Woo-young.
“Name Elena, do you know anything about this woman?”
“… … Why are you suddenly asking that question… … .”
“A total of 82 reports of transfer, 16 dismissals due to serious crimes, 7 accidental deaths. Do you think this makes sense?”
Jung Woo-young thought.
Why does Melon’s smile, which I thought was gentle until just a moment ago, feel so cold?
“I asked, ‘Do you know anything?’”
