Chapter 151

All of the subjects, including Kalcion, nodded happily. As expected, the goddess was a northerner, they even felt a sense of kinship with her.

Kalcion gently continued his explanation.

Elimination of the crown prince is, of course, the first priority though we will have to kill half of the nobles to get rid of all the remnants of power clinging to him.

Even in the absence of the Crown Prince, another replacement could easily be presented while the desire for control over Renbird would persist, as it was deeply ingrained. Justifications served as mere supplements, lightening the burden for those in power.

Kalcion wanted to deal with even that.

To do so, we need a procedure to prove that the situation at that time was justified but for the common people, the problem is that no matter what the Crown Prince does, harming him cannot be rationalized.

In fact, there is the goddess, right?

She can’t be in an official position, so it will be difficult for her to be used as an official card as well. So, here’s what I thought. It requires your consent.

Selina shrugged and smiled. She agreed to ride on a beasts back, what could she not agree to now?

If it’s what Kalcion thinks, you won’t do anything to harm me.

It is true. Still, I can be a little annoying.

I can cooperate as much as you want. What is it?

I will make you Queen of the North.

As the smile on her face gradually faded, it became evident that Kalcion’s words held deeper significance. He wasn’t merely speaking symbolically, like referring to her as a goddess.

His intention was to genuinely crown her as a queen.

He thought that while he was a duke, he would make Selina the queen. The fact that he brought up such a notion at this stage indicated that he had already meticulously planned every detail. It was not a matter to be dismissed lightly or laughed off.

I need to talk to you privately for a moment.

As Selina said that, the servants stood up as a group.

N, no. We will go out. Lets go out for a walk and talk while resting.

Yes.

Kalcion gestured for his subjects to sit and lightly got up.

In the meanwhile, Selina exited the hallway and stepped out into the garden. The sun had set, casting a tranquil blue hue over the landscape, which brought a sense of calm to her racing heart.

Taking in a deep breath of the crisp evening air, she posed her question.

Im asking just in case, the queen?

Of course.

Kalcion becomes the king and I become the queen, like that?

He laughed and shook his head.

Its no different from now. The King of the North will be you.

Selina grabbed her throbbing head and screamed at him.

Queen!

Why?

Kalcion shamelessly stared at Selina without changing her expression.

That’s different! King is a professional. A goddess just smiles, waves her hand and has nothing to do but look good though the queen is actually in a position to take responsibility for the country.

How many nobles are actually responsible for their territory? You are the master, not the caretaker.

Anyway, the fate of the country is in my hands.

No matter how sloppy other people were, Selina couldn’t live that way.

I can’t put that burden on you. I will make all the people kneel without you having to work.

How?

Renbird will belong to the Northern Kingdom in the form of a Duchy. Currently, all lands inhabited by humans in the north belong to Renbird, so Renbird can continue to rule as I have done.

How is that any different than just turning Renbird into a kingdom and me becoming queen?

The Queen’s land extends beyond the Beast Mountains. Renbird is only half of it.

The answer came out very quickly.

Selina laughed out loud at his prepared answers, like a job seeker who practiced his interview for four months and three days.

How far have you been thinking?

Ive been thinking about how the Queens country would be named Selinia after you.

Ho

And your face will be engraved on the new currency used in the kingdom.

Gazing at her face, he smiled gently.

In that case, everyone in the world who lives where the northern money flows will know you. They will treat the money with your face engraved on it more than anything else, and they will want it.

.

If this is the case, wouldnt this be at least compensation for what you left behind in the other world?

Selina caught her breath at the word compensation.

She realized that his plans moving forward were not solely focused on the benefit of Renbird or the resolution of the ongoing war. His top priority was to ensure Selina’s compensation. Even amidst the current circumstances, it remained the first priority.

Ah

What to do with this man? Selina covered her face and groaned.

She knew that if she were to wake him up now, he wouldn’t even remember when he was out of his mind.

Throughout her acting career, Selina has received countless compliments on her breathtaking beauty. She was often referred to as a woman capable of captivating nations, earning her the familiar nickname.

Could those words become a seed? Was she truly on the verge of tearing apart a country because of her?

Is it not enough?

She had to tear Kalcion off and stop him.

The only person in this world who could tear him apart was her. However, the emotion that swept over her heart could not be stopped.

Selina shook her head, her face still concealed by her hands.

There are too many. There are too many of them, so I have to give them back.

It was okay if it didnt actually happen. It was enough for him to be so determined and tell her. No further compensation was required.

She was given a heart bigger than this world.

There is no such thing as too much for you. No matter what I bring, even if I give you everything in this world, its not enough.

Kalcion sat on one knee in front of Selina and held out his hand as if begging for her. As his large hands wrapped around hers, he placed his lips on her thumb as he put his hands together in a prayer.

To my world, my queen, my goddess, I would like to dedicate this world.

.

In your hands. I am willing to give all of my world.

.

Including me.

The confession was a prayer. Selina looked up at the sky and sighed at the affection of a believer, who poured out his earnest heart.

Haa

There was no God to answer her.

Standing in front of Kalcion, she was his god. He would really pick up a star for her. Saying that he gave the world and himself also meant that he would really give it, and Kalcion had already thrown himself at Selina several times.

She could return the world, but she couldnt refuse the Kalcion that came with it.

I can’t forgive you if you were to take it away.

No way.

You know Im greedy, right? Once it’s mine, it’s mine forever.

Gladly.

His answer was nothing but conviction.

Selina cupped Kalcion’s cheeks and covered his lips.

Now Kalcion is mine.

Selina murmured, their lips pressed together.

If she were a serpent, she would have devoured him whole in a single gulp that was how much she wanted to have Kalcion. He was a man who glimmered mysteriously under the moonlight, the epitome of beauty and strength, unmatched by anyone else in the world.

He was the one thing she yearned for in every world she had known.

Selina sealed their lips once again, her grip tightening on Kalcion’s hair, unwilling to let go.

At the same time, understanding her longing gaze, he embraced her with unwavering intensity. As he stood up, she remained suspended in the air, her gaze fixed upon him. It felt as if they would remain intertwined like this for eternity, with him never releasing her from his hold.

Take it.

He murmured in a low voice and penetrated her lips.

I have given everything to the queen and to my goddess, so take whatever you want.

He was reciting holy words, but the hot lust contained in his lips was not holy at all. It was menacingly mad.

Hup! Uhp!“

Selina let out a faint sound as she was pushed by his momentum, but soon it was gone between their lips. Kalcion pressed their lips together and entered the building.

Ah.

Gradually regained consciousness, she could feel the chill of the sheet against her back and surveyed her surroundings.

She couldn’t recall when she had entered the room.

It was the room where she had shared countless moments with Kalcion. The room where they had worked together and, at times, indulged in seduction. Now, in that very room, the roles were reversed, and he was the one seducing her.

Kalcion slowly raised himself.

Selina lay on the bed, ensnared between his legs, her gaze fixed upwards, unable to tear her eyes away from him. Kalcion moved sluggishly, akin to a snake contemplating when to strike, as he sought out her presence.

She found herself breathless as she watched him.

Her breath became precarious.

The fire had already been kindled as the scorching heat permeated their bodies. With each heavy exhalation, the heat clung to them, spreading throughout the room. Despite the absence of a lit fireplace, the air, once cool, now burned with intensity.

Was it because of the heat?

No. Just as Kalcion had been consumed by madness before, Selina, too, was intoxicated by him.

Her hands, which had been blown away in drunkenness, moved wildly.

Her outstretched hand brushed against Kalcion’s shirt. The fabric, once neatly tucked into his pants, was now unbuttoned and partially undone.

His body had already been touched, grazed, and explored countless times, yet the thrill at her fingertips remained undiminished. If anything, with each encounter, the sparks intensified, growing stronger.

Selina’s palm pressed against Kalcion’s firm, chiseled abdomen. Unyielding, he gazed down at her without any sign of retreat.

Her hands ascended slowly, gliding along his body, and lifted his shirt. As she traced a path over his sculpted chest, reaching up to his collarbone, Kalcion extended his arm and willingly discarded his shirt.
