Chapter 158 – 16. This Man’s Influence Spreads Through the Empire
“Uh, yes?”
Unexpectedly pleasant answer.
Beyond the pleasant level, I like both very much. It was a long-awaited response.
Thanks to that, Siwoo was taken aback this time as well.
I didn’t expect much and just threw in a title that just came to mind, but it got stuck from the beginning.
‘Is there something like romance?’
He missed his expectations, but his approach was not entirely wrong.
Surprisingly, few of the princesses were married. It’s okay to say that there are almost none.
In the past, there were many times when engagements and marriages progressed quickly. It’s a vast continent, but it’s like stagnant water in the end. Exchanges between countries have also become active, and people who might be interested in it have come into sight, even if they are from other countries.
But now, every year, about 200 warriors appear, and close to 100 talented and active men appear. A trend of prudent engagement and marriage arose, even for the sake of an arranged marriage in case of emergencies.
Among them, there are three people who can be called brother-in-law to the twin princesses.
The only woman officially married is the first princess.
And Linda and Leslie really hate Michael, the husband of the first princess.
“Hmm, it’s strange that I’m saying this after I’ve said it, but would you be okay as a brother-in-law?”
Siwoo asked with a confused expression.
However, the reaction of the twins was very good.
“Sure!”
“It’s okay, brother.”
‘Brother-in-law?’
What is this baseless title?
But another strange combination of words tickled Siwoo’s chest.
He was startled for a moment and woke himself up.
‘Calm down, Siwoo Han. This is Mija.’
In the midst of not knowing what will happen when the truth is revealed, Linda opens her mouth.
“Then brother-in-law.”
“Huh? Oh, yes.”
“Please feel free to call us too.”
“Comfortable? Enough now…”
“No, no. More comfortable. For me, Rin.”
“I-I’m Ren…”
Two people who have only been meeting for a few hours but already ask for nicknames. It may not be a nickname unique to the twins, but when he asked to call it all, Siwoo was speechless the moment he said it. Still, his mouth moved on its own, probably because of his own years of experience.
“Yes, yes. Please take care of me, Rin. Ren.”
“Yes!!”
“Thank you…♡”
Lively and shy twin princesses.
Seeing the two sisters-in-law clinging to each other’s arms, smiling and laughing, Siu let out a blank laugh without even realizing it.
It seems like I got close to troublesome kids, but it was fun nonetheless.
While Siwoo Han is getting closer with the sisters-in-law of the princess.
Elaine, Hildear, and Rosalyn left the imperial castle for a while.
The emperor’s health is not good, and there is no special schedule today, perhaps to keep Shile in check. It’s not that Siu follows her twin princesses and plays with them because she doesn’t have a fiancée.
Because of this, the three of them decided to take a look at the Glazer Empire’s ecliptic lightly, saying that they would have plenty of time.
“I’ll just rest in my room.”
Risir refused to accompany him because he did not want to attract attention.
“Oh, sorry. I’m making something right now…”
Nina refused her offer because of potion making.
As a result, the street spectacle was determined by three people.
“Where shall we go?”
Elaine, who is in charge of the de facto deputy leader of Siwoo Party, got lucky.
The Glaser Empire, the most prosperous and strongest country on the continent.
They were obsessed with being the first and the best, and indeed the size of the ecliptic was unrivaled. At the beginning of the founding, it was not so grand, but as a result of repeated expansion and expansion, it became one of the largest cities in the empire as well as in the entire continent.
“I like anywhere.”
Those were Rosalyn’s words, who had come to follow her two older sisters more closely after having a relationship with Siu.
“Me too… Well, now that I think about it, there is one place I want to go to.”
“Oh, where are you?”
“Vishra Street.”
“Yes…?”
Elaine blinked at Hildear’s words.
Speaking of Vishra, it is the name of the kingdom of the Holy Empire. It is also the name of the capital city. The beginning of the Holy Empire was a group of village units, and the name of the area was Vishra, which continued and was even used as the name of the country.
Thanks to this, there are several places where the names overlap, so it is more commonly called the Holy Empire, but it is certain that it is not a place suitable for the Glazer Empire. Elaine had also heard of it for the first time.
“Huh? Don’t you know? It’s quite famous.”
“Really?”
Elaine didn’t know, but what they said was true.
“It’s a street where Goddesses used to live together, but it seems that it was created as believers from other religions gathered around it.”
“Ah, now that I think about it, I think I’ve heard of it… But was that your original name?”
“The official name is different, but everyone calls it Vishra Street.”
“Hey.”
Three people walking around talking about each other.
It was a very leisurely and leisurely movement thanks to the time left.
The place they arrived at was quite far from the imperial castle, but it was too large to call it just a street. Religion-related shops are lined up on both sides of the long boulevard, and small churches are also visible. The fact that it is a street with religious characteristics is clearly revealed.
At the far end, there was a large temple, and the symbols of various gods were attached as if it were not only dedicated to the goddess. You can’t see it from this side, but if you get closer, there seems to be a stone statue.
“I think I’ve been there before. Back then, I rode a carriage and moved, but the outside was like this…”
Elaine surveys the streets with excitement.
It was the same for Hildear and Rosalyn.
Thanks to the wide robes covering their faces, no one noticed the identity of the three.
Maybe that’s why I started to look around more actively than usual.
“Oh, great. They sell stuff like this.”
“Amazing.”
“Sisters, sisters! Look at this!”
“Ahaha!”
If it had been a month ago, the atmosphere at the party would have been somewhat down when Siwoo was gone.
However, during the period of conversation through frequent breaks and carrying out missions together, a bond developed between them. Rosalyn, in particular, cared for her older sisters terribly, probably because of her experience with the Scouts on the Southern Front.
The three women wandered around the streets of Vishra for a long time, looking around.
“Huh…?”
Then something caught Rosalyn’s keen eyes.
“…”
“Kyaheu. Rosalyn, look at this.”
“…”
“Rosalyn?”
“Oh, I’m sorry.”
Rosalyn watches a certain store closely enough to not hear Hildear’s words.
Thanks to her, she even gathered up to Elaine.
“What’s the matter?”
“Um, that’s…”
After a moment of thought, she explained what caught her own eyes.
To sum up, what kind of store is strange.
There wasn’t anything particularly strange about the elements she picked up, but she felt uncomfortable as she put them all together and pondered them. The same goes for both Elaine and Hildear. The three soon became convinced that the store was hiding something.
“Let’s go.”
“Great.”
The atmosphere of the girls who had been laughing and chatting happily changed drastically.
Some suspicious shop.
When it comes to presuming identity, there are no limits.
Black dealers, fences, illegal gambling places, etc.
If you use your imagination, the possibilities are endless, but the worst among them is a spy or a traitor to the demons. If it was the capital of the empire, there would be a lot of information coming in lightly, and with a little effort, you could get something important to the demons.
Even more, this is Vishra Street, where religious people gather. Depending on the fault, there are numerous problematic elements. As a member of the warrior party, it was a situation that could never be ignored.
With my daughter
“Welcome.”
The owner of the shop was a middle-aged woman with a warm look.
Normally, it would be nothing, but now even that is suspicious.
As the three look around the store without saying anything, her aunt’s eyes widen.
“…”
Even so, the shop owner doesn’t even talk to the customers.
Rosalind’s eyes narrowed as she secretly watched the shopkeeper. My heart is getting closer to certainty.
“…Hehe, what are you looking for?”
The same goes for the shop owner.
She spoke to the three, convinced of something of hers.
Rosalyn and Elaine exchanged glances at the owner’s proud behavior. The action they chose was forced breakthrough. It’s no use running away. Rosalind had already seen the location of the stairs leading to the basement.
“There are many things to look for.”
As the representative, Hilde Ar took off her hood and stepped forward.
“We are the party members of Seongjae Han Siwoo.”
“…Yes?”
Hildear threatened in a low voice with a cold face.
A look of bewilderment shone on the shopkeeper’s face, but that was only for a moment. She burst into laughter.
Hehe. Surprised. Ugh, you don’t have to go that far.”
“…?”
“Yes?”
“First, get paid in advance…”
“Huh?”
“This way.”
At her aunt’s natural gesture, Elaine unwittingly handed her her money, and the shopkeeper took her set inside. A narrow room that looked like a private space, but with a little manipulation, a staircase leading down appeared.
‘Rosalyn. What you found…’
‘Uh, yes. This way is right.’
‘What?’
The three couldn’t understand English.
Still, I decided to go down the stairs.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a trap. The weapon is also hidden in the bosom, and the divine power is full. With the power of about three people, you can run away even if the opponent comes. With such a mind and nervousness, they went down half a floor, and what they saw was shocking.
“Uh…?”
“This, this…!!”
“Nonsense…”
Hehe, come here. This is the first time.”
The female dwarf in charge of the underground shop laughed.
“You can hear the conversation above here too. Is this what you want?”
“…”
“This is very expensive. I haven’t made a few yet, and it’s because that saint’s ‘thing’.”
“…”
The three women were at a loss for words as they looked at the objects the dwarf showed them.
The length seems to be over 20cm, and the thickness seems to be a little bit left even if you hold it with one hand. The metal and wood are appropriately mixed and even colored to make it more realistic, but it was definitely a dildo that attached the bottom that made it impossible to judge that it was fake.
“Uh, how could this…”
When Elaine muttered in bewilderment, the dwarf took it as her compliment and proudly boasted of her.
Hehe, I’m pretty good with my hands. It was quite difficult to just listen to the description without a video, but I tried my best to be a saint for the first time in hundreds of years! No?”
“Haha…”
It was.
This was an illegal adult product store.
Among them, the best seller is a dildo modeled after the penis of a famous male warrior.
Of course, there is no way he would have received permission. The male warrior whose video was leaked is based on it. If nothing has been made public, make up from eyewitness accounts. Even so, the description rate was excellent because of the skill of the producer, the Dwarf.
“Let’s see, so the price is… Roughly this much. How, are you willing to buy it?”
“…”
The three women quickly exchanged glances.
To my dismay, I haven’t come to a conclusion yet.
