Episode 222
“My name is Ian Nel Chersi. Please call me Ian.”
“Oh, yes.”
Ian smiled faintly and bowed gracefully.
Every movement was full of elegance.
Looking at that sight, Choi Hyun-seok nodded his head blankly.
“Please take good care of me. Lord Dugal Polkill.”
“Oh, yes.”
Choi Hyun-seok, who was with his mouth open with a dumbfounded expression, suddenly thinks.
‘Is this love?’
Ian Nel Chersi was Choi Hyun-seok’s ideal type of dreams.
Bright and clear skin.
Her curly blue hair looks like a clear stream flowing down.
Her blue eyes, like her hair, were large and bright, and just looking at them gave off an energy that made people feel good.
However, there was a constant smile on his face, creating an overall bright and cheerful atmosphere.
“I heard from my father! He said he was a very strong knight.”
“Oh, yes.”
The expression and tone of voice were cute and gentle, but at the same time, I really liked the fact that it gave off a dignified and elegant vibe that wasn’t too frivolous.
‘This person is truly my ideal type!’
There were many beauties around Choi Hyun-seok.
Even Abelson Marriott was so beautiful that she could be mistaken for an angel.
Rachel, if you only look at her appearance, was prettier than any celebrity I’ve seen on Earth.
Sarah Dunphy and Cidreel were a bit different, but it was clear that they were both stunning beauties.
‘I gave my heart to you once, but now I know. My real ideal type is Ian here.’
Right now, at this moment.
Choi Hyun-seok realized it.
That he had been mistaken all along.
You could say it’s a kind of wandering.
Before I met my ideal type, I didn’t even know my own tastes.
“Are you listening?”
“Oh, yes.”
Choi Hyun-seok nodded with a blank expression at Ian’s question.
“… So, according to the current international situation, the divided factions… .”
Ian’s voice comes in one ear and flows out the other.
‘Your voice is pretty too.’
In Choi Hyun-seok’s mind, only Ien remained.
“… This is the situation. This is where Dugal’s role becomes important.”
“Oh, yes.”
“You’ve only been saying ‘Oh, yes.’ since earlier. Are you okay?”
Ian waved his hand in front of my eyes and asked.
Choi Hyun-seok nodded with his eyes still blurry.
“Oh, yes.”
“Phew…!”
Ian ended up bursting into laughter at the consistent reaction, almost like a robot.
The sight was so lovely that Choi Hyun-seok felt like his heart was going to stop.
“That’s all for today. I have an important schedule. If you have any further questions later, feel free to ask.”
“Ah… yes…”
“Then that’s it.”
Ian leaves with a refreshing smile.
Choi Hyun-seok blankly looked at her back.
thud…!
The door closes.
As Ian disappeared completely from sight, Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes slowly came into focus.
“Sir Paulkill. Are you okay?”
Choi Hyeon-seok nodded to the King’s question.
“Your daughter is beautiful.” “Hahaha! Our daughter is famous for her beauty. Even the empire covets her.”
King Mollin, who had been smiling happily at his daughter’s compliments, suddenly took on a sad expression.
“But, unfortunately, the problem is that you are too smart.” “Is being smart the problem?” “Well, to be exact, the problem is that you are too ambitious.”
The problem is that ambition is too big.
It was a vague story, but Choi Hyun-seok nodded as if he understood.
‘To be exact, the problem is that women have such great ambitions. This is an era with strong patriarchal ideology.’
People here are usually like that.
Women should be passive and not take the lead in anything.
A woman’s role is to assist men.
This idea is deeply embedded in the minds of both men and women.
Especially in cases like the throne or the head of a noble family, almost 99.9% of the time, the successor is a man.
Perhaps Ian Nel Chersi, despite being a woman, wanted to break this mold and fly high.
“It’s a world where it’s not easy to accept a woman doing something great.” “It’s a shame.” “Still, I’m secretly thinking of handing the throne over to Ien.”

King Mollin wants to hand over the throne to Ien Nel Chersi.
Although Choi Hyun-seok already knew the information, he pretended not to know and asked back.
“Is that okay?” “There will be a lot of backlash. However, Ien is a smart child. I think it is right for Ien to become king for the sake of the country’s future.”
“okay.”
“Oh, please keep what I just said a secret. Even my daughter doesn’t know about it yet.”
“Of course.”
At that moment, the King looked at Choi Hyeon-seok with a secret gaze.
“So, how about Sir Polkill helping Ian achieve his dream?”
“yes?”
Choi Hyun-seok blinked.
To think that he would help Ian achieve his dream.
What does that mean?
“There are no legends in our Chersi kingdom.”
Choi Hyun-seok nodded indifferently.
This is also a fact we already know.
Legends aren’t that common in the first place.
It’s strange for an empire to have four or five of them.
In such a small kingdom, it was extremely difficult to even see a hero.
“If Lord Polkill were to marry Ian, wouldn’t those who oppose Ian’s succession to the throne be silenced?”
“yes!?”
Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes widened.
Engagement.
Literally promises marriage.
That is, it is talking about marriage.
“Ho, ho, ho, an engagement? Suddenly, like that…!” “Hahaha! Since Lord Polkill seems to like your daughter too, I thought I’d say something.” “I need time to think about it…”
“As much as you want!”
The King of Mollin said with a good-natured smile.
“If this matter is resolved well, I will push for it at any time. I will actively speak to Ienge as well.”
Choi Hyun-seok nodded his head repeatedly.
In his head, he had already become a king’s man and was living a happy old age in the palace with his rabbit-like children.
‘Choi Hyun-seok! The sun is finally shining in your life!’
***
After meeting the king.
Choi Hyun-seok was guided to the room where the VIPs stayed.
“You are free to come and go at any time. There is a servant on standby at all times, so if you need anything, just let me know.”
The maid in charge of guidance gave a mechanical greeting and left the room.
Choi Hyun-seok was left alone in an empty room.
At that moment, Rachel appeared out of thin air as if she had been waiting for it.
“Hero!!!”
Rachel screaming from the start.
Choi Hyun-seok lay on his bed and looked at his dedicated fairy with a blank expression.
“why?”
“What the hell are you doing!” “What are you complaining about now?” “You’re completely obsessed with that blue fox! You were drooling with that stupid face like Shin-chan!”
Choi Hyun-seok frowned and pointed at himself.
“I?”
“Of course you are, Hero! Is there anyone else here besides Hero!? Does Hero have any thoughts at all? Or not!? You came up with the concept of a retarded Demon King, and now you’ve become a real retarded person! Now that I look at it, you’re not a Hero, you’re a master of method acting! A great actor!” “Let’s calm down and take a deep breath. You seem too excited.”
Choi Hyun-seok said, showing his palm.
But Rachel showed no sign of calming down.
“I’m not done talking yet! Yes. Okay. Let’s say I didn’t keep up with the concept of the stupid Demon King Army! Fortunately, the King doesn’t seem to have any particular thoughts. But what that blue fox said. Did you listen carefully? Do you remember what he said?”
Choi Hyun-seok kept his mouth shut.
Now that I think about it, I don’t remember what Ian said at all.
‘What did Ian say…’
I think I asked and answered something along the way, but I don’t remember.
‘Your voice was pretty.’
Ian’s voice is so beautiful and refreshing!
That was all.
Rachel lifted her chin as if to say, “Look at it.”
“Tsk tsk! How can you possibly do something so big when you can’t come to your senses over a mere woman!”
Rachel, who was clicking her tongue and shaking her head, muttered in a small voice.
“And… it wasn’t particularly pretty…”
“what?”
For a moment, Rachel’s face turned slightly red.
She shouted loudly as if she had decided something.
“That’s right! Rachel is much prettier and cuter than that blue fox!” “Why is the conversation going that way all of a sudden?” “Rachel is prettier! A hundred times! A thousand times cuter!” “Okay. Let’s say that’s true.” “I’m not saying that’s true. It’s true! Admit that Rachel is cuter! Quickly!”
Choi Hyun-seok looked at Rachel with a sullen face.
‘I was wondering why I was so grumpy…’
Choi Hyun-seok, who had been staring at Rachel for a while, let out a deep sigh.
“Yeah. Rachel is pretty and cute.”
The expression and tone of voice of a person who speaks reluctantly, obviously to anyone who looks at them.
Still, Rachel’s lips, which had been sticking out, went in a little.
“Uh! I’ll let it go for now.” “Uh… Thank you very much.” “Anyway, Rachel remembers everything the blue fox said, so listen carefully.”
“okay.”
Fortunately, Rachel seemed to remember everything Ian said.
Listening to her explanation, Choi Hyun-seok inwardly clicked his tongue.
‘You usually look so stupid, but you’re so uselessly smart at times like this.’
It was a chance to see Ian once, under the pretense of not remembering the conversation.
Rachel explained everything so well that it didn’t seem necessary.
‘Let’s just endure it for now. If we meet Ian here again, he’ll get really angry.’
Anyway, I came here to work.
No matter how much you fall for a woman, you have to distinguish between work and private life.
‘I have to settle this matter and then proceed with my love business.’
The future has already been drawn.
Blue-Haired Royalty
Youngae.
It was clear that the children born between her and herself would be as beautiful as angels.
“Okay! Let’s go!”
Choi Hyun-seok jumped up from his bed.
“Where are you going?”
“Now that I know the circumstances, I have to go out and experience it for myself!”
We need to solve this case as soon as possible.
Then, I will be able to spend a comfortable and sweet time with Ian.
“Braves, come out!”
After a long time, Choi Hyun-seok’s will was rekindled.
***
Since the Demons’ declaration of peace, Gatren and Dracen have been waging a war of public opinion across the continent to expand their respective territories.
Perhaps that is why the current situation of the Chersi Kingdom is similar in many ways to the past Mariott Kingdom.
Hardliners who believe that the demons must be completely driven out.
Moderates who believe that it is time to stop the war with the Demons and pursue peace.
The hardliners are active around the Holy Empire Gatren.
The moderates are centered around the Dracaen Empire.
“The upper echelons of the Chersi Kingdom were naturally divided into two. Most of them were divided not because of their own beliefs or thoughts, but simply because of which line they held, whether it was Gatren or Dracen.”
Whatever the people may be like, war was of no importance to those behind them.
It’s just a fight over territory and who gets to eat the beans.
It was nothing more, nothing less.
“This situation is difficult to resolve with force. We can’t just kill all the innocent civilians.” “Then what are you going to do?
“Honestly, my first thought was to assassinate all the nobles and high-ranking officials who support Gatren…”
Rachel’s eyes narrowed at the word assassination.
“Hero! You’re going to kill all the people! Is that something that comes out of a hero’s mouth!?” “That’s what you say. I have no intention of putting it into practice. It’s too dangerous.”
Assassination of high-ranking officials.
This could easily light the fuse for a bomb.
The King would not want to solve it this way either.
Choi Hyun-seok personally wasn’t pleased with it either.
He wanted to resolve it as peacefully as possible.
“To do that, we need to win over the hearts of the people like we did in the Kingdom of Mariott, but that’s also difficult.” “That’s right. The situation was different back then, and many other people helped us!”
The Kingdom of Mariott was similar to Chersi, but different in many ways.
Dispatch of the Cardinal of the Gatren Empire.
And with the help of Sarah Dunphy and the Dracaen Empire.
All of this combined makes for a complete scenario that takes place in the Kingdom of Mariott.
The situation in Chersilton was not conducive to blindly following along.
“Eventually, we need to naturally make it known that Gatren is the villain. Or we need to make Gatren give up first… What should we do?”
At that time, Choi Hyun-seok’s worries were deepening.
A commotion began to be heard nearby.
“You fanatics!” “Shut up! You stupid pacifist!”
Choi Hyun-seok clicked his tongue.
“How many times has it happened today?”
It’s been so long since I came to Chersilton that I’m already used to it, and I’m sick of it.
It seemed like wherever people gathered, they took sides and fought each other.
“Fanatic! Do you like war that much?” “That’s nonsense! In order to stop the war, we have to completely eliminate the demons!” “The demons promised peace!” “Idiot! Do you believe the demons’ words?”
Choi Hyun-seok turned around to walk away from the fight.
The first few times I looked around to see if there was anything to be found, but now I know.
These street arguments end up with both sides repeating the same words, eventually leading to a fist fight.
The ending is that both sides are arrested when the security arrives.
At that moment, a man’s voice pierced Choi Hyun-seok’s ears.
“What if the Demon King himself came and made a promise? I absolutely cannot believe what they say!”
At the same time, lightning struck Choi Hyun-seok’s head.
“That’s it!”
Rachel blinked as she watched Choi Hyun-seok suddenly screaming.
“What is that?”
What the hell is this warrior talking about again?
The answer was far beyond her expectations.
“Let’s call the Demon King here!”
“Huh!?”
