Chapter 342

TL: Zimmings

***

The next day.

I sat in a chair and closed my eyes. The amount of my divine power has recovered to some extent. This should be enough to use in case of an emergency.

When I opened my eyes again and nodded, the people of Dubblede looked at me with worried expressions.

“Can you really go alone?”

“We can’t take out more people when dad’s not here. If there’s a problem while I’m away, my brothers have to step up.”

I grabbed my brothers and asked them several times.

To flee before the darkness consumes Dubblede.

Once they go to the territory on the western border, stay with the people of the territory, and as soon as darkness crosses the island, they must exit the empire.

“Kid, if you or I are in danger, run away quickly. When I see you again, I will turn around and try to catch you somehow.”

“This guy is finally right.”

“As soon as it becomes dangerous, you must break the barrier and activate the moving circle.”

I put on my robe, leaving the people who were concerned with me.

“I will be back.”

“…….”

“…….”

“…….”

“I’ll come safely.”

Isaac clenched his fists and hugged me.

“I’m proud that you’re my little sister.”

“I like Isaac because you’re my older brother too.”

“…Don’t get hurt.”

“Yes.”

I said goodbye to my family and the people of Dubblede.

And I tore the teleportation scroll with the guards near me.

A dazzling light surrounds us, and when we open our eyes…

***

The capital of Gahong, Taeryeob.

Gahong’s princess, Hong-hae, looked at the king who was kneeling under the altar with an insensitive look.

It had been nine months since it hadn’t rained in Gahong.

The well has been dried up for a long time. The grain dried up even before harvesting, and Gahong was suffering from the worst famine.

People raised their swords to their leader just to get some water, and a riot broke out.

The king of Gahong has already been performing ancestral rites to heaven for three days.

He couldn’t put anything in his mouth and bowed to the altar for three days. When he seemed about to collapse, the chancellor said.

[You lack sincerity.]

As if the sky had given punishment because the King of Gahong wasn’t sincere.

Hong-hae glanced at a group of chancellors watching King Gahong with fierce eyes.

‘Who is the sinner?’

It was those people who monopolized the water.

Even in the famine, feasts continue in their families, and carts carrying gold and silver treasures are lined up in their mansion.

Most of the riots and the troubles of the Gahong is due to them.

It was not the king’s fault.

Her father shrugged his shoulders and trembled in front of the chancellor, who said he lacked sincerity.

[T-teacher, please tell me. What can I do?]

Hwang Gyeon-ik, the chancellor, placed him on the throne as his puppet.

Twenty years after the current king ascended the throne, he still reigned over him.

Yes, even her father is guilty.

Being weak is a sin.

The sin of not being strong.

He was also guilty of loving the people but cannot protect his family.

Her father’s sins were passed on to his daughter.

When Hong-hae turned her back, her biological mother, Ju Wol-bi, hurriedly grabbed her.

Then she whispered, looking at the chancellor.

“Where are you going?”

“I’m going back to my palace, why?”

“You’re not the only child born with divinity in the royal family. You should at least protect the king-”

“Do you really think it will rain, mother?”

“…….”

“Is there anyone who believes it’s going to rain just because of this? No, it’s just Hwang Gyeon-ik showing his power.”

“I know. I know everything. That’s why you shouldn’t go.”

Don’t make the chancellor target you.

Be content with what you have, and don’t ask for more.

You have hated them since birth, so you must not go out of your way here.

Being humble is a sin that gave birth to you, who was born with divine power.

Alll my fault

All. all… Hong-hae.

Hong-hae took off Ju Wol-bi’s hand that held her and walked awY quickly.

She kept talking to her.

Hong-hae covered her ears and walked quickly.

‘It’s annoying.’

She can’t live because she’s sick and tired of it.

When she bit her lips, someone approached hee. Hong-hae, who thought she was a court lady, said without paying attention.

“Prepare my cuties. I have to drink tea with these kids to-”

“Are you sure you want to do that?”

He was Hwanghyun, the son of chancellor Hwang Gyeon-ik and the queen’s nephew.

Hong-hae hardened her face at once.

“What’s going on?”

Hwanghyun raised the corners of his lips at her gaze.

“You’ll be wedded off soon.”

“……What?”

“It’s the King of Hyeguk (Raolin) Across the sea.”

“Isn’t King Raolin eighty years old this year?”

“The King of Hyeguk was seriously ill and they said he can be cured by sleeping with a person full of divine power. so there was a request to give the princess of Gahong, Hong-hae, as the concubine of King Hyeguk.”

Hong-hae grabbed her skirt tightly.

She heard that Hwanghyun had an accident.

He went to Raolin as an envoy and threw fits there because he was drunk.

Now that the country is in trouble, Raolin’s help is essential.

If things go wrong with it, everything will be her fault.

It was clear that they wanted to get rid of her somehow.

“I don’t like it. That kind of marriage-”

“Princess. Even though you were born in a humble body, you should be happy to be able to help your country thanks to your good divinity.”

“His Majesty cannot make such a decision!”

Hwanghyun giggled.

“You are still ignorant even now.”

“What?”

“It’s always up to my father to make decisions. His Majesty is a follower.”

Hong-hae’s lips trembled.

“You…….”

“Prepare for the wedding ceremony. Next month, the princess will be in the procession of Hyeguk… Ah!”

While Hwanghyun was talking, he suddenly screamed.

Hong-hae stared at Hwanghyun.

What she could see behind him was a person she never saw at Gahong.

“I can listen to you.”

“…….”

“…Leblaine.”

Looking at her with trembling eyes, Leblaine in the court lady’s clothing laughed.

Even her hair and eyes were black, which was no different from those of Gahong’s people.

“Hello, slave?”

“You, how…”

“I need to tidy up the palace. It’s terrible to be a servant girl who falls for a single pearl.”

Seeing Leblaine muttering, Hong-hae opened her mouth.

She hurriedly looked around. Fortunately, no one saw her.

Hong-hae whispered.

“What is this!”

“Punishment is medicine to a madman. It’s Dubblede’s motto.”

Hwanghyun, who was beaten by Leblaine, wriggled and raised his head.

“Damn you, how dare you…!”

Leblaine patted his head and said,

“Oho, your head is too high.”

“This, this…! There is no one-”

One more time, Leblaine, who stepped on him, bit her cheeks and said.

“You have a loud voice.”

“Guards……!”

“By the way, this is inside my barrier, so no matter how much you shout, they can’t hear it.”

Leblaine, who squatted, immediately grabbed Hwanghyun’s hair and made him raise his head.

“You seem to have a head, so can you kindly tell me?”

“Wha- what?”

“What? Do you want to die so that no rat or ants can even find you?”

“How could you do this to me!”

“If you yell at me, you won’t survive.”

“You crazy!”

Hwanghyun stood up, struggling wildly. The moment he was about to grab Leblainr by the collar.

“Put that hand down.”

“If you don’t want to die.”

“Let’s just kill him!”

“The child hasn’t allowed it yet.”

Baal, Storas, Pur and Boone overpowered Hwanghyun’s arms, legs, neck and waist, respectively.

Leblaine clapped his hands and said,

“You’re going to thank me for this.”

Hwanghyun shouted.

“I can’t thank a girl like you-”

“I’m saving you now. How grateful you should be!”

Hwanghyun couldn’t even speak when Leblaine shouted.

Hong-hae, standing tall and watching the scene, muttered.

“Are you crazy?”

“Listen.”

“…….”

“I’m just one step away from going crazy. Because they didn’t destroy the temple. That’s why, Hong-hae.”

“……Huh?”

“Would you like to go ahead and destroy it?”

“Do you often hear people say that you have guts?”

“Yes.”

Leblaine smiled and got up.

“Enough with the jokes.”

“…was it a joke?”

“As a Princess of the Dubblede family, I’ll propose something to the Princess of Gahong.”

Leblaine grabbed the end of her skirt and bent her knees slightly, looking at Hong-hae

“If the princess destroys the temple, I will give you a source of water.”

“…….”

“As an added bonus, even subjugating the rats who dare challenge the throne.”

“…….”

Hong-hae stared at Leblaine.

Leblaine merely tilted her head.

“Can you decide quickly? I’m busy right now. I need to go to Waynes and Mojas also Athar Tribe.”

“…….”

“If you don’t have the guts, you can go back now.”

Hong-hae clenched her fist tightly.

Biting her lips, she stared head-on at Leblaine.

“Ryu Hong-hae couldn’t be beaten in terms of her guts.”

Leblaine laughed.

“Yes, show me your guts, slave.”
