Chapter 706 – #96. Jinhaesol (10)
“Space…Yes.”
[It’s a stop. It is possible to move to various dimensions through this place.]
Above his head were the universe and the aurora.
Under such an overwhelming natural phenomenon, I feel that human beings are mere flying insects.
But that’s for a while.
The overwhelming human wealth created by living things came into sight.
“And…”
[Don’t talk to other things. Because then you can get kidnapped. Stay right next to me. You are now the Golden Goblin to them.]
“Why am I a Golden Goblin?”
[Useless curiosity. Follow me soon I have to go to the country.]
As Pony continued to rush, I became impatient and followed him.
From a certain moment, I moved along the green light.
It was like a person visiting the city for the first time, and his eyes were taken away from the surroundings.
‘The level of development is different.’
It was a landscape that could only be seen in a movie.
People who knew how to handle the mysterious power of mana wandered around floating buildings in the air, or floated energy beads that made crackling, dangerous sounds on top of them, and lived their lives calmly inside the building below.
“That looks dangerous, but won’t it explode?”
[Explodes.]
“!!”
[But even if it explodes, there’s a protection magic around it, so the explosion won’t go anywhere else. And come this way arrived.]
These were spaces where I wondered if it would be faster to find a place that is not strange.
I wanted to take a closer look, but Pony seemed unwilling to give me time for that.
[——]
[————-]
This time, Pony had a conversation with someone and submitted some documents.
The person who received the document looked at the document and me alternately, then nodded.
It was a nod meaning permission to move.
[Okay, I got permission. See that long aisle over there? You can walk all the way over there.]
“All the way there? Am I going alone?”
[What am I doing over there? Of course you are going alone. If you want to take me, give me a coin.]
“It’s okay. I’m going alone.”
It’s because I’m scared because it’s an unfamiliar environment, I’ve never thought of having a pony by my side.
When I heard that walking along that passage, I would immediately move to another dimension, so I moved in that direction.
Empty! Empty! Empty! Empty!
“What’s so long…”
I’ve been determined and prepared for it all this time, but it was a bit scary when the situation actually happened.
In particular, as I walked through the quiet aisle, the unusually loud footsteps echoed eerily in my ears.
The surroundings were getting darker and darker as we walked, and at some point we had to rely on red lights to walk.
“You have to keep going… Right?”
I wonder how good it would have been if I had been told in advance that this aisle was long enough to walk for quite some time.
But fortunately, when the limit of patience came, suddenly the field of view suddenly opened up! That it has changed
“Oh.”
I asked if they would send me to a place where it was easy to complete the mission, and of course I nodded because I thought it would be helpful to do so.
However, I could see that they had dropped me in a place much closer than I expected.
‘Who would’ve known that they put it inside because it’s not close enough.’
Fortunately, it seemed that they had moved it to an uninhabited place so that no one else would notice.
However, I was able to confirm a large amount of busy people in a place not far away.
The reason I was certain that this was the royal palace was because I heard them talking.
“When does Her Highness say you will be entering?”
“After 20 minutes.”
“Okay.”
Perhaps the place where I am standing is where the people who work in the royal palace work.
‘The language patch went well too. The clothes have also been changed.’
Among the package components that Pony recommended separately, there were clothes and language patches that would not feel out of place here.
Not only that, but my face was also changed to a Westerner’s face, not the existing one.
This face had largely followed the appearance of the king when he was young.
In order to seduce 3,000 concubines without any problems, instead of following the appearance of the king in the past, he touched his face enough to be called handsome.
‘It’s still not as good as the original face though.’
For the time being, I have to get used to this face.
After assessing the situation, I avoided people as much as possible and moved to the target.
‘Looks like there’s a banquet.’
It seemed that a grand banquet was being held in the palace.
After 20 minutes the king will appear there and address the people.
And the nobles will enjoy the banquet the king gave them.
That’s when I planned.
‘Just think of it as acting.’
Nothing difficult.
If you think it is difficult, it becomes difficult, and if you think it is easy, it becomes easy.
And acting in front of a lot of people…
‘Because it’s my job.’
If it’s a prince role, wouldn’t it be a pretty attractive character as a protagonist?
I thought that my acting skills were second to none, so I wasn’t afraid to show off my realistic acting skills.
♧ ♧ ♧
The nobles of the Bahaten Kingdom were busy enjoying the banquet as usual, but gathered in threes and threes and had a conversation about one topic.
“He’s too young!”
“It’s good because he’s young. He likes women very much, so he says he rarely goes to bed alone.”
“Like a woman and having healthy children are two very different things. Don’t you know what his illegitimate children are like?”
The topic they were most interested in these days was by far who the heir to the current kingdom would be.
Strangely, despite the fact that only two queens and ten concubines were brought in for the succession, all the king’s successors were suffering and died a violent death before they reached the age of 10.
Is that all?
Most of the collateral royals also rarely gave birth to healthy children.
The youngest prince, who was the king’s only hope.
Sadly, the youngest prince passed away in a tragic horseback riding accident last year.
[Jim seems unable to bear any more children. I’m not feeling well, so you should discuss and decide on the next succession.]
The king was now too old to be able to conceive a woman, and the kingdom was in a state of trembling about who to make the next successor as if a fire had fallen on his feet.
Besides, he had left so many children that he no longer wanted to concern himself with the issue of succession.
“Wouldn’t Oddman’s ball be low?”
“Isn’t he too old? The last time I saw him, his hair was white.”
“No, are you saying that already?”
“He doesn’t have many children, so wouldn’t it be right to honor the person with the most children?”
The king, who had lost his will to live and his energy, did the absurd thing of handing over what he had to do to the nobles.
This was an unprecedented event, as if the king had transferred his power to the nobles.
Thanks to this, there were many words, but the nobles did not refuse the king’s proposal.
‘Because I’m an old man with only a few days left to live, everything has become a nuisance.’
At this time, the nobles who wanted to raise their voices eagerly to make collateral royals their successors, citing their own reasons.
It was because of this background that what was happening in the banquet hall now.
Who will be the next successor?
However, an incident occurred that would destroy their efforts meaninglessly.
The king appeared at the banquet hall belatedly and delivered a speech containing good words in moderation and kept his seat.
Unable to pass by seeing that face, he calmly walked down the street in the center of the banquet hall.
“That’s why I have to… Swallow… The Hashel ball…”
Malevolent malevolent-
Even the aristocrats who were arguing could not take their eyes off the young man walking in the center.
Having served the Hyeonwang for a long time, they did not know who the man walking in the center resembled.
“Isn’t it enough to say that the king has become young again?”
The murmur of a certain nobleman rang quite loudly in the banquet hall where the silence flowed.
Gulp-
As the nobles’ eyes turned to one side, the king, who was not interested in the banquet, naturally followed the nobles.
And finally, the king’s eyes, languishing with boredom and boredom, fell on a young man.
“!!!!!”
The longer the king’s eyes stare at the young man’s appearance, the more astonished he becomes.
It is impossible not to be surprised that a young man who looks just like the person himself suddenly appears.
“That, that, that one! Bring that one before me!”
The king, forgetting his body language, hurriedly ordered the courtier to bring the young man closer.
Even if the absurd authority was handed over to the nobles, who would act indifferently when hope appeared in front of them?
Most of the nobles were taken aback by the appearance of a man who terrifyingly resembled the king in his youth, but there were also nobles who hurriedly calmed down and saw the reality calmly.
“Let’s investigate how that person got into the banquet hall.”
“Yes!”
“As soon as his name is mentioned, find out where he was born and how he has lived.”
“Yes!”
While the nobles were busy giving orders to their subordinates.
The young man was called by the king and knelt down before him.
“Come a little closer, a little closer.”
The king was not satisfied that the man prostrated himself quite close, and called him closer.
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“Yes, look up.”
“Yes.”
The young man obediently raised his head.
The king put his hand on the young man’s chin and gave out a series of exclamations as he turned it from side to side.
“You’re handsome. Besides, this face…I thought I appeared when I was young. You…Which collateral child are you?”
“I’m sorry. I’m not a royalty, I’m a fool who lived as a commoner.”
Bang!
The king was enraged by the young man’s words and struck his fist down on the armrest of his chair.
“It can’t be! You’re definitely royalty. Your hair, your eyes, and your features all reveal! Who dares to treat you as a commoner when you don’t even have to check to see that you’re royalty?”
The king was convinced that the young man was royalty.
The eyes of the nobles returned busily.
Who sowed the seeds of young youth?
That was the most important issue for the nobility.
In fact, it was the same for the king who regarded the matter as important.
He never thought that someone from a collateral royal family could have given birth to a child who looked so much like him.
In addition, the king was already convinced that this young man was born of his own seed.
The new hope that appeared to the king who had lost countless children was so earnest and precious.
Even if it’s not, it’s to the point where I want to insist that it’s right.
