Episode 146: Princess of another world (3)
146. Princess of another world (3)
“What is this? Why is this?”
Kang Hyun-i looked puzzled as he checked the smartphone that Shin Sung-ah had handed him.
-Hyunshin-dong Kang Hyeon real-time.
There were posts from a famous SNS on the screen, and they were pictures of Kang Hyun taken a little while ago when he was outside.
“Isn’t this something that happens all the time?”
Kang Hyun’s photos are floating around the internet. If you think about it, it could be considered a secret photo, but it’s become a familiar thing now.
“It doesn’t seem like there will be any particular problem.”
“I think maybe I got into trouble because I was with them.”
Shin Sung-ah moved the screen to another post.
-I met Kang Hyun in front of the cafe in Hyeonsin-dong.
– Anyone who saw Kang Hyun hanging out with foreigners today?
-A woman with short gray hair and a fancy cape. She’s really pretty. Is she a foreign actress?
-Gray no, silver short hair.
-Aren’t you a famous person with abilities in Europe?
-I followed them around for a bit because I was curious, but it was a language I had never heard before. It didn’t seem to be from Europe.
There was a heated debate going on there about who the foreigners were that had been with Kang Hyun today.
“Is this going to be a problem?”
“I think I’ll have to ask Mr. Shin Tae-gil for more details.”
Kang Hyun nodded with a trembling face.
“Kang Hyun. What’s the problem?”
When the atmosphere became tense, Olivia asked.
“It’s nothing. Someone will be here in a bit. Just say hello.”
“Who is coming?”
“Uh. So, no, they’re not nobles… what should I say? They’re just high-ranking civil servants who work for the country.”
“Are you a civil servant who takes care of internal affairs?”
“You could say that.”
At Kang Hyun’s words, Olien made a face full of anticipation.
“Kang Hyun, you know someone like that? That’s amazing!”
“I’m kind of awesome! Hahaha!”
Kang Hyun waited for Shin Tae Gil to arrive while exchanging small talk with Olien.
After a while.
“Mr. Kang Hyun!”
Shin Tae-gil, looking quite haggard, opened the door and appeared.
“came?”
Kang Hyun raised his hand and gave a small greeting.
“Haa, what have you done this time?”
“What are you doing, what are you doing? You didn’t do anything.”
“Haa… You always say that.”
Shin Tae-gil shook his head.
“Anyway, these are the people.”
Shin Tae-gil looked at Olien and his group.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Shin Tae-gil.”
When Shin Tae-gil greeted him, Olien smiled awkwardly and nodded.
“Kang Hyun. What is this person saying?”
A strange language coming out of Olien’s mouth.
Only then did Shin Tae-gil realize his mistake and apologize.
“Oh! Oh no. Excuse me.”
Shin Tae-gil took out an interpretation device from his arms.
“Mr. Kang Hyun. Give this to them….”
The moment Shin Tae-gil was about to hand over the interpretation device,
“There is no need for that.”
The wizard Galliou, who was standing next to Orien, said:
“Your Majesty, I used interpretation magic.”
“Thank you, Galliou.”
Shin Tae-gil was amazed when everyone was able to communicate thanks to Galiu’s magic.
“As expected, people from that world are different.”
“What? You knew Mr. Shin Tae-gil?”
“I just found out that there are people coming from other worlds.”
“Then why did you act like such a big deal?”
Shin Tae-gil’s expression darkened at Kang Hyun’s words.
“That’s… haa…”
“Why? What’s going on?”
“Mr. Kang Hyun.”
“yes.”
“They are asking us to send them from America.”
“yes?”

“America? What do you mean?”
Kang Hyun frowned at the word America that suddenly appeared.
“It is as I said. I requested that they be sent from the United States.”
“why?”
“I don’t know that either.”
Kang Hyun frowned at Shin Tae-gil’s answer.
“You want me to send someone away for no reason? I said no.”
“Mr. Kang Hyun, it’s not as easy as it sounds.”
“What if it’s not easy?”
“Mr. Kang Hyun! Now is the time to joke…!”
As Shin Tae-gil’s voice was about to raise, Kang Hyeon reached out and stopped him.
“Who are you to tell me to send someone? I’m not joking. I have no intention of doing that, so I’m telling you to get out.”
“If I could just say no, I wouldn’t have come to Kang Hyun.”
As the conversation between Kang Hyun and Shin Tae Gil became more serious, Olien looked worried.
“It’s our fault that you’re causing trouble.”
“It’s nothing. You don’t have to worry about it.”
“Is that America a different country from here?”
“yes.”
“Probably the strongest nation here.”
Kang-Hyeon looked surprised at Olien’s words.
“Hmm? That’s not wrong, but… how did you know?”
Olien’s attitude was as if he had known America from before.
Shin Tae-gil also felt something strange and waited for Olien to speak next.
“Among the reports I received from spies sent to the Empire, there was the word America. I didn’t know the details, but it was clear that America was a country that interacted with the Empire.”
Shin Tae-gil’s eyebrows furrowed at Olien’s explanation.
“What is an empire?”
“Mr. Shin Tae-gil, let’s sit down and talk. I need to know how the situation is going before I can talk to you or not.”
“Ha… Okay, I understand.”
After Kang Hyun’s words, Shin Tae Gil sat down and the explanation continued for a while.
“To sum up, the three countries remaining on the Haken Continent. The largest of them, the Agran Empire, must have had relations with the United States before. Is that what you’re saying?”
“yes.”
“Do you know exactly when that time is?”
“I don’t know the exact time, but I’m sure it was at least two months.”
Shin Tae-gil nodded, finally understanding everything.
“Haa… I don’t know why the US has kept that a secret until now. But I’m sure they hope this information doesn’t get out.”
“Yes. Otherwise, there would be no reason to take Olien.”
“Hmm…”
Everyone nodded in agreement with Shin Tae-gil and Kang Hyeon’s conversation.
“Mr. Kang Hyun, even if that’s true, we don’t have a choice.”
“No choice?”
“The opponent is the United States.”
Dungeons appeared and the world changed dramatically, but America’s position did not change.
Rather, it only became more solid as time passed.
Even in research on magic stones, which had just become a new industry, the United States was producing results that were unrivaled.
“Unless the world is destroyed, America’s status will never decline. And South Korea is an important ally of America.”
“So?”
“Don’t you know what I’m saying…”
Kang Hyeon nodded at Shin Tae-gil’s words.
“It’s like saying that we should just wag our tails at the US and eat the falling soybeans.”
Shin Tae-gil’s face hardened at Kang Hyun’s direct words.
“I’m not really interested in that. Shouldn’t we respect each person’s wishes in these matters?”
“If you were my doctor…”
“You should ask Olivia.”
At Kang Hyun’s words, everyone’s attention turned to Olien.
“Ollien. Do you understand the general story?”
“yes.”
“What do you want to do?”
Olien shook his head at Kang Hyun’s question.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t go to America.”
Shin Tae-gil’s sigh further calmed the atmosphere in the living room.
“I have work to do here. If I go to America, I will probably be captured by the Empire, and the Hague Kingdom will stop sending people here. Everyone will probably be in mourning, waiting for the coming destruction.”
Olien’s eyes lit up with determination.
“I must inform the kingdom of the situation here and summon an official delegation.”
When Ollian finished telling his story, Kang Hyun smiled faintly.
“The princess said so! Then there’s nothing we can do. Right?”
Shin Tae-gil bowed his head deeply.
“Sigh… I don’t know what to say to the President…”
“I don’t plan on going to Ollien either, and I don’t plan on sending him either, so he tells me to figure it out myself.”
“Mr. Kang Hyun. I don’t know what will happen as a result of this incident.”
“I’ll think about that later. Won’t it work out somehow?”
“Huh, I see…”
Shin Tae-gil, who was completely exhausted, got up from his seat.
“Are you leaving already?”
“I think I’ll be busy thanks to Mr. Kang Hyun. I’ll have to move quickly to handle it.”
“sorry.”
Shin Tae-gil chuckled at Kang Hyun’s words that came out in passing.
“No. I think that maybe Kang Hyun’s choice will bring about a better future. We need to find a way to turn this crisis into an opportunity.”
“Why are you saying such wonderful things?”
“I just said what I thought. That’s all for now.”
Shin Tae-gil bowed his head in greeting and immediately left the reception room.
“I’m sorry if anything has gone wrong because of me.”
Olien said with a worried look on his face.
Kang Hyun shook his head.
“What trouble? Don’t worry about it. It’s just that I can’t stand giving strange orders.”
I don’t know what the US will do about this.
But Kang Hyun had no intention of being easily taken advantage of.
‘That would be fun.’
Kang Hyun smiled, looking forward to what would happen next.

The President’s Office.
President Han Seung-hoon held his forehead, which was covered in wrinkles.
“I’m sorry. He’s not someone we can control.”
-Is that the best?
The person he is talking to is none other than the President of the United States, Howard.
“It is beyond our control.”
After receiving the report from Shin Tae-gil, Han Seung-hoon thought carefully and decided to reject Howard’s request, so he called him.
-Then I will bring them directly from the United States.
“that…”
-If the Korean government can’t do it, we have no choice but to take action ourselves.
In that moment, Han Seung-hoon’s wrinkles deepened even further.
“Ha… Okay, I understand.”
-Okay, that’s it.
Just as the call was about to end,
“wait a minute.”
Han Seung-hoon caught Howard.
-What’s going on?
“What is America hiding?”
-You’re hiding it? I don’t understand.
“That’s exactly what I said. The world needs to come together now. What does America dream of…”
-Haha. Isn’t that obvious? It’s the future of humanity.
“The future of humanity…”
-By the way, it’s funny that Korea is asking us that question.
“yes?”
Han Seung-hoon was taken aback by Howard’s sudden words.
-I would like to ask Korea. Republic of Korea. What are you dreaming of?
“What is that…”
-I know you both have a lot to hide from each other. Let’s try to avoid these difficult questions if possible.
“…”
-Up until now, the United States has provided a lot of information to its ally, South Korea, for free. I hope that our relationship will not go astray.
“All right.”
With those words, Howard ended the call.
Han Seung-hoon pondered Howard’s last words for a while.
‘Did the information leak out…’
Of course, it could have been just a stab.
But that’s America.
It would not have been surprising if Korea had been aware of what was being done secretly.
“Every day is like a sheet of thin ice…”
Han Seung-hoon let out a deep sigh.
