Eat the Warrior’s Family 36

Chapter 36 – Meanwhile, the Warrior Party

Queen and princess.

They were two of the most noble people in the country.

Because the king died early, he had no other brothers.

Nevertheless, he was also a great royal and politician who had no problems with national affairs.

However, their expressions were not very bright today.

“This is what happened in the end.”

The princess sighed deeply and said.

The queen, who would normally have said that royals should always be proud, did not make any comments.

She already had an adult daughter. The Queen’s pretty face, which boasted her incredible beauty and youth, was also frowned with worry.

“I never knew we would be so worried about the hero party, mother.”

“Phew… That’s right. “I never thought one person’s absence would be this big.”

Warrior.

A being chosen and blessed by the ‘God of Heroes’.

The power they all possessed was unconventional.

First of all, not only is the effect of ‘Hero’s Protection’ deceptive, but they are also qualified to use the holy sword.

The same was true for Leon, who was chosen as the hero this time.

“There was controversy among the nobles as to why a noble young man with no significant achievements received such a blessing.”

“Maybe the problem started from then. “I should have prepared in advance.”

“I don’t think there were any problems at first. Not only my mother, but everyone else would have thought that way. “Because there was ‘him’ at this party.”

The queen smiled bitterly at the princess’s words.

“Yes, because this hero had a long-time colleague, ‘Hyunwoo.’ And he was better than anyone else.”

“Yes, his talent was absolutely overwhelming. “I’ve only seen it once, but it gave me goosebumps.”

The princess’s face turned hazy as she thought about the genius wizard for a moment.

Her eyes were drawing the overwhelming power of Hyunwoo that she had seen back then.

The first time the princess saw Hyunwoo was at a demonstration at the capital festival.

She still couldn’t forget the brilliant magic she saw then.

“I thought that as long as he was there, there would be no problem with this party, even the Demon Lord. That’s how great he was.”

“Hehe, to put it mildly, the God of Heroes was originally going to choose Hyunwoo, but since he made a contract with the God of Magic, it was even said that he chose Leon, who was next to him.”

“Did you say something like that?”

“Well, it’s just a rumor. “It’s true, only God knows.”

The Queen who was speaking thought to herself that she really wished she had done that.

But that too would now be a useless wish.

“I never thought I would lose that great wizard and banish him with my own hands.”

“…I can only see this as being really stupid.”

The princess clicked her tongue lightly.

“To be honest, the warrior party, including Leon, is far from good compared to past warriors.”

“Yes, the wizard Hyunwoo semi-forcedly increased his insufficient power.”

Thanks to this, the subjugation of the Demon King’s army was proceeding more smoothly than ever.

Who knew it would fail like this?

‘I really don’t know what the hero is thinking.’

Of course, it doesn’t mean that you can’t guess their feelings at all.

The warrior Leon has been compared to Hyunwoo in many ways.

The royal family, which supports the warriors, understood Hyunwoo as a more important force, so they said everything.

You probably had feelings of inferiority and jealousy.

‘But it shouldn’t have been like this.’

If Hyunwoo had simply withdrawn, it wouldn’t have been this much of a shock.

But no matter what he did, Hyunwoo completely disappeared after being exiled.

In the end, the kingdom lost a tremendous force named Hyunwoo.

“He would have been of great help anywhere, even if it wasn’t a warrior party.”

“That’s right. “We missed out on such a valuable talent.”

From the royal family’s perspective, that is not the only loss.

Whatever the process, the Magic Tower lost its most valuable talent due to the hero’s actions.

It was the royal family’s job to follow up and apologize for this.

First of all, ‘management’ of warriors is also the role of the royal family.

In the end, the royal family had to repeatedly apologize to the Magic Tower and promise massive support.

This debt will definitely come back later as a bigger burden.

“Now that something like that has happened, it’s become even more difficult for wizards to receive support.”

This is a warrior party that even kicked out Hyunwoo.

There were already a lot of complaints about taking a genius, but the result was like this.

What kind of wizard would want to go into a place like that?

It seemed like the princess could still feel the cold gaze of the Magic Tower Master.

“The future is more problematic. “I have to somehow fill Hyunwoo’s vacancy.”

“…The hero must be belittling our royal family’s support. “Otherwise I wouldn’t have done that.”

The queen made no reply.

But her silence was her affirmation of those words.

This is the royal family that should trust and support its warriors more than anyone else.

It was obvious even without looking how other nobles would view the warrior party.

“But try not to show it off in front of others. “I’ll have to listen to the story first.”

“I understand, mother.”

At that time, I heard the servant’s voice.

What soon arrived was a warrior party.

A party made up of all women, except for the hero Leon.

They approached and knelt down.

“Hero Leon, I have come to carry out your orders.”

“Okay, thank you for coming.”

The Queen greeted them with a slight nod of her head.

Then she looked at the princess.

“Because my mother is having a hard time with work, I will convey her mother’s words on her behalf.”

It had already been decided that the story here would be about the princess.

This is because it is better to use the personal opinion of the princess rather than the queen, to the extent that a good story will never come out.

Of course, I cover my eyes and say nothing.

There was no one who did not know that the words coming out of the princess’ mouth now were the will of the royal family.

This was also the best consideration for the warrior.

“Of course, I believe you all know why you came. “This is the problem of wizard Lee Hyeon-woo.”

Leon’s shoulders flinched at the name that came out right away.

“Currently, the royal family feels deep regret over Wizard Lee Hyeon-woo’s withdrawal from the warrior party. Also, Hero Leon’s opinion was deeply involved.”

It was almost direct, criticizing why Lee Hyun-woo was kicked out.

So what followed was nothing but criticism and excuses.

“Surely you made that choice because you had a way to fill that empty position, right? “I’d like to hear your story on how to fill that power.”

You probably expected to be asked this question.

So, at least for show, you will get a good answer.

Based on that, if the royal family also defends the warrior, urgent fires can be extinguished.

…But the hero’s answer was far beyond the princess’s thoughts.

“Thank you for caring me. But we don’t need any additional power.”

The princess frowned at the immediate answer.

If it was really enough, there wouldn’t even have been a need to secretly invite the warrior party here from the public.

“…No problem?”

“Yes, as a leader, I don’t think Lee Hyun-woo is bigger than me and my colleagues as warriors. “There is no need to worry about his empty position in the royal family.”

“…I heard that since Wizard Lee Hyeon-woo disappeared, you have not been able to deliver proper news of the subjugation. But are you really saying that this power is enough?”

The other women behind them looked like they wanted to say something.

But I couldn’t do it.

It is the role of the warrior to report to the royal family.

This was because I was afraid of how my intrusion into this would be viewed by Leon and the royal family.

“It’s still just an adaptation stage. It’s only natural that one power source is missing. “If you give us a little more time and support, we will be able to show you results.”

“Time and support…”

The princess tried to keep her cool as much as possible.

But the princess’s tightly clenched fist was shaking with anger.

How much more support should we provide?

It was all the resources of the royal family, and furthermore, the people’s tax money.

‘How can you be so proud even when you throw that thing on the ground?’

The reason the warrior party receives enormous support is because there is a belief that they will subdue the demon lord’s army.

That is the trust that the warriors of the previous generation risked their lives to build.

So what if, on the other hand, you can’t subdue the Demon King’s army?

Are they really worthy of existence?

‘Even if it exists, it may not be what others see.’

There is still a custom, so I am holding on to it.

But sooner or later, the dissatisfaction of people, including nobles, will reach its peak.

That complaint will be directed directly to the royal family who defends the warrior.

Even the royal family can no longer bear the brunt of the loss.

In other words, now was the time when performance, not words, was needed.

“Great.”

The princess made her decision based on political judgment.

This is definitely not a retaliatory greeting for kicking out a wizard named Lee Hyun-woo, whom he admires.

“If you have enough power to be so confident, subjugation will be no problem, right? As the royal family, we are ordering the Leon warrior party to subdue the Dark Forest within one month.”

“Oh, princess… That’s a bit difficult to do in one month…”

“I will not listen to any objections. “Our royal family has already waited long enough.”

The warrior could not say anything.

In fact, what the princess said was true.

The subjugation she was just talking about should have ended early.

It was delayed when Hyunwoo was expelled.

Wouldn’t the result be an unprecedented situation where a hero would hear the royal family’s condemnation?

So there was only one answer that Leon, the warrior, could give.

“I will obey the royal family’s orders.”

In response, the women behind them closed their eyes tightly.

It seemed as if the results of the subjugation were already visible in their eyes.

And it was no different for the princess and others.
